SUMMARY
This summary highlights information included elsewhere in this prospectus and does not contain all of the information you should consider in making an investment decision. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements,” “Selected Historical Combined Financial Data,” “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”(“MD&A”) and our combined financial statements and the notes thereto (the “Combined Financial Statements”) before making an investment decision regarding our common stock.
Our Company
Envista is one of the largest global dental products companies with significant market positions in some of the most attractive segments of the dental products industry, including implants, orthodontics and digital imaging technologies. We develop, manufacture and market one of the most comprehensive portfolios of dental consumables, equipment and services to dental professionals covering an estimated 90% of dentists’ clinical needs for diagnosing, treating and preventing dental conditions as well as improving the aesthetics of the human smile. Our executive officer team has extensive dental industry experience and over 50 years of collective service with Danaher. In 2018, we generated total sales of $2,845 million , of which approximately 70% were derived from sales of consumables, services and spare parts.
Our operating companies, Nobel Biocare Systems, Ormco and KaVo Kerr, serve more than 1 million dentists in over 150 countries through one of the largest commercial organizations in the dental products industry and through our dealer partners. Our commercial organization includes over 3,000 employees with deep clinical, product and workflow expertise who interact with customers on a daily basis. We are also a leading global provider of clinical training to enhance patient access to high-quality dental care, reaching over 100,000 dental professionals annually through more than 4,000 training and education events we directly organize.
We generated 23% (or $655 million ) of sales from high-growth markets in 2018. Our growing scale in these markets has been driven by strategic investments in underpenetrated markets, such as the Greater China region (mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau and Zhuhai), where we had sales of $213 million in 2018 and currently have a commercial organization of more than 400 employees. We define high-growth markets as developing markets of the world experiencing extended periods of accelerated growth in gross domestic product and infrastructure, which include Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and Asia (with the exception of Japan and Australia). We define developed markets as all markets of the world that are not high-growth markets.
We believe that in 2018 our research and development (“R&D”) expenditure of $172 million was one of the highest R&D spends in the dental products industry. Through our increased investments in R&D, we have accelerated multiple new product development initiatives, such as the DTX TM software suite, the N1 TM implant system and Spark TM Aligners.
Our Specialty Products & Technologies segment comprised of our Nobel Biocare Systems and Ormco operating companies, develops, manufactures and markets dental implant systems, dental prosthetics and associated treatment software and technologies, as well as orthodontic bracket systems, aligners and lab products. We typically market these products directly to customers through our commercial organization, and approximately 90% of our 2018 sales for this segment were direct sales. In 2018, our Specialty Products & Technologies segment generated $1,370 million of sales.
Our Equipment & Consumables segment, comprised of our KaVo Kerr operating company, develops, manufactures and markets dental equipment and supplies used in dental offices, including digital imaging systems, software and other visualization/magnification systems; handpieces and associated consumables; treatment units and other dental practice equipment; endodontic systems and related consumables; restorative materials and instruments, rotary burs, impression materials, bonding agents and cements and infection prevention products. We sell our Equipment & Consumables segment products primarily through our channel partners, representing approximately 90% of sales in this segment in 2018. In 2018, our Equipment & Consumables segment generated $1,475 million of sales.

Our History and Transformation
As a platform of Danaher Corporation, Envista was built through the acquisition and integration of over 25 leading dental businesses and brands over the course of more than 15 years . We believe our business today has one of the most comprehensive offerings in the dental products industry. Beginning in 2016, we consolidated our operating companies, reduced our manufacturing sites from 44 to 33 , consolidated almost 150 sales offices into less than 80 , streamlined our R&D organization, and centralized our direct and indirect procurement organizations. These efforts have helped our free cash flow (referred to in “—Summary Historical and Pro Forma Combined Financial Data”) to exceed our net earnings in each of the three years ended December 31, 2018.

Table of Contents --------------

We organize our operating companies in a way that leverages long histories of brand leadership across their respective product categories. Consolidating our multiple brands helps ensure alignment of our product and commercial strategies, allows us to better meet the needs of a broad set of customers, and facilitates an efficient and effective innovation pipeline. Streamlining our business operations has also allowed us to increase our salesforce and reinvest significant resources in initiatives such as expanding our R&D spend and expanding our presence in high-growth markets, which we believe will help drive long-term market leadership.

Industry Overview
We believe the global dental products industry is an attractive and growing sector within healthcare with estimated total product sales of approximately $23 billion in 2018, which we estimate has grown at an average, annual mid-single digit rate over the last three years. While the U.S. represents a significant portion of the global dental products market, we have also been focused on building significant scale in high-growth markets. Within the global dental products industry, we believe segments such as Imaging, Implants and Orthodontics will grow at a more rapid pace than the overall market.
We believe future growth of the dental products industry will be driven by:
an aging population ;
the current underpenetration of dental procedures, especially in high-growth markets ;
improving access to complex procedures due to increasing technological innovation ;
an increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry ; and
growth of Dental Support Organizations (“DSOs”), which are expected to drive increasing penetration and access to care globally .

Our Competitive Strengths
We believe we have significant competitive strengths, including:
Brand leadership with a long track record and strong brand recognition . We built our business around brands with long histories of innovation and strong brand recognition in the dental products market. The founder of our Nobel Biocare Systems operating company introduced the world’s first dental implant and Nobel Biocare Systems has since become a world leader in the field of innovative implant-based dental restorations. Our Ormco operating company has over 50 years of distinguished history providing orthodontists with high quality, innovative products. Multiple brands within our KaVo Kerr operating company have more than 100 years of history in dental products. We believe the long history and leadership of our well-known brands in the dental products industry enhances our connections with both patients and providers, and supports our strong market position.
Comprehensive portfolio with leadership in key attractive segments . We believe we have one of the most comprehensive offerings in the industry, enabling us to be a vendor of choice. Our broad product offering positions us particularly well to serve the needs of dental support organizations, or DSOs, which have been one of the fastest growing segments of our customer base.
Global commercial reach . Our operating companies serve more than 1 million dentists in over 150 countries through one of the largest customer-facing sales teams in the dental products industry and through our dealer partners. In 2018, we generated 56% of our sales from markets outside of the U.S.
Strong position in high-growth markets, particularly in the Greater China region . We have successfully grown our business in high-growth markets; these markets represented 23% of our total sales in 2018. We have built one of the largest dental products businesses in the Greater China region, with $213 million of sales in 2018. In that region, we currently have approximately 900 employees (including more than 400 sales personnel), three manufacturing operations and a fully localized infrastructure with dedicated R&D, product management, operations, regulatory affairs, sales and marketing, and customer service resources.
Track record of innovation . With $487 million of cumulative R&D investment in the three years ended December 31, 2018, we have supported our significant market positions in the industry with what we believe is one of the highest levels of R&D investment in the dental products industry. Our focus on innovation has yielded many differentiated products over the years, such as our NobelActive TM dental implants, our Damon TM passive self-ligating orthodontic wires and brackets, and our i-CAT TM 3D imaging system.

Table of Contents --------------

Danaher Business System . We believe our deep-rooted commitment to DBS helps drive our success and market leadership and differentiates us in the dental products industry. DBS encompasses not only lean tools and processes, but also methods for driving growth, innovation and leadership. Within the DBS framework, we pursue a number of ongoing strategic initiatives relating to customer insight generation, product development and commercialization, efficient sourcing, and improvement in manufacturing and back-office support, all with a focus on continually improving quality, delivery, cost, growth and innovation.
Experienced management team with extensive Danaher and dental industry experience . Our management team includes long-tenured leaders from Danaher with a proven track record of applying DBS to execute on our strategic and operational goals. Our executive officer team has extensive dental industry experience and over 50 years of collective service with Danaher. Under their leadership, we have undertaken a significant transformation to better position our business for organic and inorganic growth and diversify our sales globally.

Our Business Strategy
Our strategy is to maximize shareholder value through several key initiatives:
Build upon our strong portfolio of leading brands and commercial scale . We believe the long history and leadership of our well-known brands in the dental products industry enhances our connections with both patients and providers, and supports our strong global market position. We expect to continue our significant investments in expanding our global commercial reach and footprint especially in our direct businesses. We believe these investments better position us to effectively meet the needs of our customers, particularly the growing DSO segment.
Invest in underpenetrated high-growth markets globally . We have succeeded in the Greater China region by harnessing our existing go-to-market infrastructure, building familiarity with local customer needs and regulations, and establishing dedicated locally-based management resources. We expect to continue to invest in the Greater China region as we believe it will be a strong growth driver for our business in the future. We are also replicating key elements of this approach in other high-growth markets such as Latin America, Asia Pacific, Eastern Europe and Russia.
Continue to drive growth in our implants franchise . The dental implant market enjoys higher margins and faster growth than the overall dental products market. In the U.S., which is our largest geographic market, implant penetration lags significantly behind other Western European markets, such as Germany, Spain and Italy. We believe we have an approximately 20% share of the $5 billion global implants segment and will continue to invest in our global commercial footprint and product innovation to grow our strong position in the underpenetrated dental implant market.
Maintain a strong market leadership position through innovation that our customers value . As we seek to continue to improve our business and drive increased cash flow, we expect to strategically invest in innovation in order to better serve our customers. We will focus our new product introductions on driving growth in attractive core segments, such as our upcoming N1 implant system and our new Spark clear aligners and DTX clinical software ecosystem for KaVo’s imaging solutions.
Drive continuous improvement and margin expansion through DBS . We continue to pursue a number of ongoing strategic initiatives across our operating companies relating to efficient sourcing and improvements in manufacturing and back-office support, all with a focus on continually improving quality, delivery, cost, growth and innovation.
Deploy capital through acquisitions and investments . We see many opportunities for capital deployment in our core businesses, as well as in attractive adjacencies. We intend to drive shareholder value by deploying capital to acquire or invest in other businesses that strategically fit into or extend our product offering into new or attractive adjacent markets.

Risks Associated with the Businesses and the Separation
An investment in our common stock is subject to a number of risks, including risks relating to the separation. The following list of risk factors is not exhaustive. Please read the information in the section entitled “Risk Factors” for a more thorough description of these and other risks.

Table of Contents --------------

Risks Related to Our Businesses
Conditions in the global economy, the particular markets we serve and the financial markets may adversely affect our business and financial statements.
Significant developments or uncertainties stemming from the U.S. administration, including changes in U.S. trade policies, tariffs and the reaction of other countries thereto, could have an adverse effect on our business.
Our growth could suffer if the markets into which we sell our products and services decline, do not grow as anticipated or experience cyclicality.
Inventories maintained by our distributors and customers may fluctuate from time to time.
We are dependent upon a limited number of distributors for a significant portion of our sales, and loss of a key distributor could result in a loss of a significant amount of our sales. In addition, adverse changes in our relationships with, or the financial condition, performance, purchasing patterns or inventory levels of, key distributors and other channel partners could adversely affect our financial statements.
We face intense competition and if we are unable to compete effectively, we may experience decreased demand and decreased market share. Even if we compete effectively, we may be required to reduce prices for our products and services.
Our growth depends in part on the timely development and commercialization, and customer acceptance, of new and enhanced products and services based on technological innovation.
Our reputation, ability to do business and financial statements may be impaired by improper conduct by any of our employees, agents or business partners.
Certain of our businesses are subject to extensive regulation by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and by comparable agencies of other countries, as well as laws regulating fraud and abuse in the health care industry and the privacy and security of health information. Failure to comply with those regulations could adversely affect our reputation, ability to do business and financial statements.
Certain of our products may be subject to clinical trials, the results of which may be unexpected, or perceived as unfavorable by the market, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Off-label marketing of our products could result in substantial penalties.
Certain modifications to our products may require new 510(k) clearances or other marketing authorizations and may require us to recall or cease marketing our products.
The industries that we serve have undergone, and are in the process of undergoing, significant changes in an effort to reduce costs, which could adversely affect our financial statements.
Any inability to consummate acquisitions at our historical rate and at appropriate prices, and to make appropriate investments that support our long-term strategy, could negatively impact our growth rate and stock price.
Our acquisition of businesses, investments, joint ventures and other strategic relationships could negatively impact our financial statements.
The indemnification provisions of acquisition agreements by which we have acquired companies may not fully protect us and as a result we may face unexpected liabilities.
Divestitures or other dispositions could negatively impact our business, and contingent liabilities from businesses that we or our predecessors have sold could adversely affect our financial statements.
A significant disruption in, or breach in security of, our information technology systems or data or violation of data privacy laws could adversely affect our business, reputation and financial statements.
Our operations, products and services expose us to the risk of environmental, health and safety liabilities, costs and violations that could adversely affect our business, reputation and financial statements.

Table of Contents --------------

Our businesses are subject to extensive regulation; failure to comply with those regulations could adversely affect our financial statements and our business, including our reputation.
We may be required to recognize impairment charges for our goodwill and other intangible assets.
Foreign currency exchange rates may adversely affect our financial statements.
Changes in our tax rates or exposure to additional income tax liabilities or assessments could affect our profitability. In addition, audits by tax authorities could result in additional tax payments for prior periods.
Changes in tax law relating to multinational corporations could adversely affect our tax position.
We are subject to a variety of litigation and other legal and regulatory proceedings in the course of our business that could adversely affect our business and financial statements.
If we do not or cannot adequately protect our intellectual property, or if third parties infringe our intellectual property rights, we may suffer competitive injury or expend significant resources enforcing our rights.
Third parties may claim that we are infringing or misappropriating their intellectual property rights and we could suffer significant litigation expenses, losses or licensing expenses or be prevented from selling products or services.
Defects and unanticipated use or inadequate disclosure with respect to our products or services (including software), or allegations thereof, could adversely affect our business, reputation and financial statements.
The manufacture of many of our products is a highly exacting and complex process, and if we directly or indirectly encounter problems manufacturing products, our reputation, business and financial statements could suffer.
Our financial results are subject to fluctuations in the cost and availability of commodities that we use in our operations.
If we cannot adjust our manufacturing capacity or the purchases required for our manufacturing activities to reflect changes in market conditions and customer demand, our profitability may suffer. In addition, our reliance upon sole or limited sources of supply for certain materials, components and services could cause production interruptions, delays and inefficiencies.
Our restructuring actions could have long-term adverse effects on our business.
Changes in governmental regulations may reduce demand for our products or services or increase our expenses.
Work stoppages, union and works council campaigns and other labor disputes could adversely impact our productivity and results of operations.
International economic, political, legal, compliance and business factors could negatively affect our financial statements.
Significant developments stemming from the United Kingdom’s referendum on membership in the EU could have an adverse effect on us.
If we suffer loss to our facilities, supply chains, distribution systems or information technology systems due to catastrophe or other events, our operations could be seriously harmed.
Our defined benefit pension plans are subject to financial market risks that could adversely affect our financial statements.
Our ability to attract, develop and retain talented executives and other key employees is critical to our success.
Risks Related to the Separation and Our Relationship with Danaher
We have no history of operating as a separate, publicly-traded company, and our historical and pro forma financial information is not necessarily representative of the results that we would have achieved as a separate, publicly-traded company and may not be a reliable indicator of our future results.
As a separate, publicly-traded company, we may not enjoy the same benefits that we did as a part of Danaher.

5

Table of Contents --------------

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements included in this prospectus are presented for informational purposes only and may not be an indication of our financial condition or results of operations in the future.
Following the separation and this offering, Danaher will continue to control the direction of our business, and the concentrated ownership of our common stock may prevent you and other stockholders from influencing significant decisions.
The distribution of Danaher’s remaining interest in us may not occur.
If Danaher sells a controlling interest in our company to a third party in a private transaction, you may not realize any change-of-control premium on shares of our common stock and we may become subject to the control of a presently unknown third party.
The distribution or future sales by Danaher or others of our common stock, or the perception that the distribution or such sales may occur, could depress our common stock price.
We will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the rules of the NYSE and, as a result, will qualify for, and intend to rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. You will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.
We expect that Danaher and its directors and officers will have limited liability to us or you for breach of fiduciary duty.
Our customers, prospective customers, suppliers or other companies with whom we conduct business may conclude that our financial stability as a separate, publicly-traded company is insufficient to satisfy their requirements for doing or continuing to do business with them.
Potential indemnification liabilities to Danaher pursuant to the separation agreement could materially and adversely affect our businesses, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In connection with our separation from Danaher, Danaher will indemnify us for certain liabilities. However, there can be no assurance that the indemnity will be sufficient to insure us against the full amount of such liabilities, or that Danaher’s ability to satisfy its indemnification obligation will not be impaired in the future.
If Danaher completes the distribution, and there is later a determination that the separation and/or the distribution is taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes because the facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings underlying the IRS private letter ruling and/or any tax opinion are incorrect or for any other reason, then Danaher and its stockholders could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities, and we could incur significant liabilities.
We may be affected by significant restrictions, including on our ability to engage in certain corporate transactions for a two-year period after the distribution in order to avoid triggering significant tax-related liabilities.
After the separation, certain of our executive officers and directors may have actual or potential conflicts of interest because of their equity interest in Danaher. Also, certain of Danaher’s current executive officers are expected to become our directors, which may create conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts of interest.
Danaher may compete with us.
We may not achieve some or all of the expected benefits of the separation, and the separation may adversely affect our businesses.
We may have received better terms from unaffiliated third parties than the terms we will receive in our agreements with Danaher.
We or Danaher may fail to perform under various transaction agreements that will be executed as part of the separation or we may fail to have necessary systems and services in place when certain of the transaction agreements expire.
As of the date of this prospectus, we expect to have outstanding indebtedness of approximately $1.5 billion and the ability to incur an additional $250 million of indebtedness under a revolving credit agreement we expect to enter into, and in the future we may incur additional indebtedness. This indebtedness could adversely affect our businesses and our ability to meet our obligations and pay dividends.

Table of Contents --------------

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.
Risks Related to Our Shares of Common Stock and this Offering
We cannot be certain that an active trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained after the separation, and following the separation, the trading price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.
If we are unable to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our common stock may be negatively affected.
The obligations associated with being a public company will require significant resources and management attention.
The market price of shares of our common stock may be volatile, which could cause the value of your investment to decline.
Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution.
We cannot guarantee the payment of dividends on our common stock, or the timing or amount of any such dividends.
Your percentage ownership in us may be diluted in the future.
Certain provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and of Delaware law, may prevent or delay an acquisition of us, which could decrease the trading price of our common stock.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will designate the state courts in the State of Delaware or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal court for the District of Delaware, as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, employees and stockholders.

The Separation and Post-Separation Relationship with Danaher
Immediately prior to the completion of this offering, we will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Danaher, and all of our outstanding shares of common stock will be owned by Danaher.
Prior to the completion of this offering, we will enter into a separation agreement with Danaher, which is referred to in this prospectus as the “separation agreement.” We will also enter into various other agreements to provide a framework for our relationship with Danaher after the separation, including a transition services agreement, an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement, an intellectual property matters agreement, a DBS license agreement and a registration rights agreement. These agreements will provide for the allocation between us and Danaher of Danaher’s assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including its investments, property and employee benefits and tax-related assets and liabilities) attributable to periods prior to, at and after the separation and will govern certain relationships between us and Danaher after the separation. For additional information regarding the separation agreement and such other agreements, please refer to sections entitled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Separation and Our Relationship with Danaher,” “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions” and “The Separation and Distribution Transactions—The Separation.”
Debt Financing Transactions
Prior to the completion of this offering, we intend to (i) enter into a five-year $250 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks, which we refer to as the “credit facility,” and (ii) borrow approximately $1.5 billion pursuant to a term loan agreement we expect to enter into with a syndicate of banks (consisting of a three-year, $750 million senior unsecured term loan facility and a three-year, €675 million senior unsecured term loan facility), which we refer to as the “term loans,” and collectively with the credit facility, as the “debt financing.” As described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds,” the proceeds from such $1.5 billion of borrowings will be paid to Danaher as partial consideration for Danaher’s transfer of the net assets of its Dental business to us. The debt financing will not be available for borrowings until the date on which certain conditions are satisfied, which we expect will be satisfied prior to the completion of this offering. For additional information regarding the debt financing, please refer to the section entitled “Description of Certain Indebtedness.”
The Distribution
Danaher has informed us that, following this offering, it intends to make a tax-free distribution to its stockholders of all or a portion of its remaining equity interest in us, which may include one or more distributions effected as a dividend to all Danaher

Table of Contents --------------

stockholders, one or more distributions in exchange for Danaher shares or other securities, or any combination thereof. We refer to any such potential distribution as the “distribution.” Danaher has agreed not to effect the distribution for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus without the prior written consent of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC. See “Underwriting.”
While, as of the date of this prospectus, Danaher intends to effect the distribution, Danaher has no obligation to pursue or consummate any further dispositions of its ownership interest in us, including through the distribution, by any specified date or at all. If pursued, the distribution may be subject to various conditions, including receipt of any necessary regulatory or other approvals, the existence of satisfactory market conditions and the receipt of a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, and an opinion of counsel to the effect that the separation, together with such distribution, will be tax-free to Danaher and its stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The conditions to the distribution may not be satisfied, Danaher may decide not to consummate the distribution even if the conditions are satisfied or Danaher may decide to waive one or more of these conditions and consummate the distribution even if all of the conditions are not satisfied. The distribution is not being effected pursuant to this prospectus, and the underwriters of this offering are not acting as underwriters for the distribution.
Upon completion of the distribution, we will no longer qualify as a controlled company and will be required to fully implement corporate governance requirements within one year of the distribution.
Corporate Information
We were incorporated in Delaware on August 29, 2018 for the purpose of holding Danaher’s Dental business in connection with the separation and this offering. Prior to the separation, which is expected to occur immediately prior to completion of this offering, we have had no operations. The address of our principal executive offices is 200 S. Kraemer Blvd., Building E, Brea, CA 92821. Our telephone number is (714) 817-7000.
We maintain an Internet website at www.envistaco.com. Our website, and the information contained therein, or connected thereto, is not incorporated by reference into this prospectus. You should not rely on any such information in making your decision whether to purchase our common stock.

The underwriters have an option to purchase up to          additional shares of common stock, as described in “Underwriting.”
Voting Rights
Shares of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters presented to our stockholders generally.

Upon the completion of this offering, Danaher will hold approximately
         % of the total voting power of our outstanding capital stock, (or       % if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares of our common stock). As such, Danaher will have the ability to control the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors, amendments of our organizational documents and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets or other major corporate transactions. See “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” and “Description of Capital Stock.”

Additionally, upon completion of this offering we will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the rules of the NYSE   and, as a result, will qualify for, and intend to rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. See “Management—Controlled Company Exception.”
Use of proceeds
We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering will be approximately $           million, or approximately $          million if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares of our common stock based on an assumed initial public offering price of $          per share (the midpoint of the estimated public offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus), after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

We intend to pay to Danaher, as partial consideration for the Dental business Danaher is contributing to us in connection with the separation, all of the net proceeds we will receive from the sale of our common stock in this offering, including any net proceeds we will receive as a result of any exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, and approximately $1.5 billion of proceeds from term debt financing that we will enter into prior to the closing of this offering, as further described in the section entitled “Description of Certain Indebtedness.”
Dividend Policy
We have not yet determined the extent to which we will pay any dividends on our common stock. The payment of any dividends in the future, and the timing and amount thereof, is within the discretion of the Board. The Board’s decisions regarding the payment of dividends will depend on many factors, such as our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, debt service obligations, restrictive covenants in our future debt, industry practice, legal requirements and other factors that our Board deems relevant. Our ability to pay dividends will depend on our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and on our access to the capital markets. We cannot guarantee that we will pay a dividend in the future or continue to pay any dividends if we commence paying dividends. Investors should not purchase our common stock with the expectation of receiving cash dividends. See “Dividend Policy.”
Listing
We intend to apply to list our shares of common stock on the NYSE   under the symbol “NVST.”
Risk Factors
See “Risk Factors” for a discussion of risks you should carefully consider before deciding to invest in our shares of common stock.
Directed Share Program
At our request, the underwriters have reserved in aggregate up to 3% of our shares of common stock offered by this prospectus for sale, at the initial public offering price, to certain individuals, including our directors, executive officers and employees, as well as persons with whom we have a business relationship, to the extent permitted under applicable laws and regulations in the United States and in various countries. For additional information regarding the directed share program, please refer to section entitled “Underwriting—Directed Share Program.”

Table of Contents --------------

Unless the context requires otherwise, references to the number and percentage of shares of our common stock to be outstanding immediately after this offering are based on          shares of our common stock outstanding as of          , 2019 and assume the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares will not be exercised.

SUMMARY HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA 
The following summary financial data reflects the combined assets and results of operations of the Dental segment of Danaher. We derived the summary historical and pro forma combined statement of earnings data for the years ended December 31, 2018 , December 31, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 , and combined balance sheet data as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , as set forth below, from our audited annual Combined Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this prospectus and from our unaudited combined pro forma financial statements included in the “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements” section of this prospectus. Our underlying financial records were derived from the financial records of Danaher for the periods reflected herein. We derived the summary historical and pro forma combined statement of earnings data for the three -month periods ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 and the combined balance sheet data as of March 29, 2019 from our unaudited Combined Financial Statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. We have prepared the unaudited Combined Financial Statements on the same basis as the audited Combined Financial Statements and have included all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that, in our opinion, are necessary to state fairly the financial information set forth in those statements. Our historical results may not necessarily reflect our results of operations, financial position and cash flows for future periods or what they would have been had we been a separate, publicly-traded company during the periods presented.
We have historically operated as part of Danaher and not as a separate, publicly-traded company. Our Combined Financial Statements have been derived from Danaher’s historical accounting records and are presented on a carve-out basis. All sales and costs as well as assets and liabilities directly associated with our business activity are included as a component of the Combined Financial Statements. The Combined Financial Statements also include allocations of certain general, administrative, sales and marketing expenses and cost of sales from Danaher’s corporate office and from other Danaher businesses to us and allocations of related assets, liabilities, and Danaher’s investment, as applicable. The allocations have been determined on a reasonable basis; however, the amounts are not necessarily representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the Combined Financial Statements had we been an entity that operated separately from Danaher during the periods presented.
The summary unaudited pro forma combined financial data presented has been prepared to reflect the separation and this offering. The summary unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial data has been derived from our unaudited pro forma combined financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of earnings data presented reflects the financial results as if the separation and this offering occurred on January 1, 2018 , which was the first day of fiscal 2018 . The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet data reflects the financial position as if the separation and this offering occurred on March 29, 2019 . The assumptions used and pro forma adjustments derived from such assumptions are based on currently available information.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are not necessarily indicative of our results of operations or financial condition had the separation and our anticipated post-separation capital structure been completed on the dates assumed. Also, they may not reflect the results of operations or financial condition that would have resulted had we been operating as a separate, publicly-traded company during such periods. In addition, they are not necessarily indicative of our future results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
This summary historical and pro forma combined financial data should be reviewed in combination with “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements,” “Capitalization,” “Selected Historical Combined Financial Data,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the Combined Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in this prospectus ($ in millions, except net earnings as a percent of sales and per share data).

(1) Non-GAAP financial measures
Adjusted Net Earnings, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures that we use to measure the performance of our business. The tables below reconcile these non-GAAP measures to the nearest financial measure that is in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for the periods presented.
Adjusted Net Earnings
Adjusted Net Earnings is defined as GAAP net earnings adjusted to exclude amortization, accruals for significant legal matters, restructuring costs and asset impairments, a gain related to settlement of liabilities in connection with a noncontrolling interest, the tax effect of all adjustments and discrete tax adjustments and other tax-related adjustments.
The table below is a reconciliation of GAAP net earnings to Adjusted Net Earnings for the three-month periods ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 and the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016:

Refer to Note 12 to our audited Combined Financial Statements.
(b)  
Refer to Note 4 to our audited Combined Financial Statements.
(c)  
This line item reflects the aggregate tax effect of all nontax adjustments reflected in the preceding line items of the table. We estimate the tax effect of each adjustment item by applying the statutory U.S. tax rate to the pretax amount, unless the nature of the item and/or the tax jurisdiction in which the item has been recorded requires application of a specific tax rate or tax treatment, in which case the tax effect of such item is estimated by applying such specific tax rate or tax treatment.
(d)  
Discrete tax adjustments and other tax-related adjustments include the impact of net discrete tax charges related primarily to changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions and audit settlements, net of the release of valuation allowances associated with certain foreign tax credits and tax benefits resulting from a change in law and excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation realized in excess of anticipated levels in the respective period.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the $34.8 million adjustment represents (1) a tax benefit of $37.4 million related to enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (of which a tax benefit of $73.4 million is related to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities, net, and a tax charge of $36.0 million is related to the transition tax on deemed repatriation of foreign earnings) and (2) a tax charge of $2.6 million relates to other discrete income tax gains, primarily related to expiration of statute of limitations.

Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Measures
Each of the non-GAAP measures set forth above, along with core sales (referred to in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”) should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing our results that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, help our investors to:
with respect to Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA, understand the long-term profitability trends of our business and compare our profitability to prior and future periods and to our peers;
with respect to core sales (referred to in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”), identify underlying growth trends in our business and compare our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to our peers; and
with respect to Free Cash Flow (the “FCF Measure”), understand our ability to generate cash without external financings, strengthen our balance sheet, invest in our business and grow our business through acquisitions and other strategic opportunities (although a limitation of Free Cash Flow is that it does not take into account any debt service requirements or other non-discretionary expenditures, and as a result the entire free cash flow amount is not necessarily available for discretionary expenditures).
Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to measure our operating and financial performance.

Table of Contents --------------

The items excluded from the non-GAAP measures set forth above have been excluded for the following reasons:
With respect to Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA:
We exclude the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets because the amount and timing of such charges are significantly impacted by the timing, size, number and nature of the acquisitions we consummate. While we have a history of significant acquisition activity we do not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, and the amount of an acquisition’s purchase price allocated to intangible assets and related amortization term are unique to each acquisition and can vary significantly from acquisition to acquisition. Exclusion of this amortization expense facilitates more consistent comparisons of operating results over time between our newly acquired and long-held businesses, and with both acquisitive and non-acquisitive peer companies. We believe however that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation and that intangible asset amortization related to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized.
We exclude costs incurred pursuant to discrete restructuring plans that are fundamentally different (in terms of the size, strategic nature and planning requirements, as well as the inconsistent frequency, of such plans) from the ongoing productivity improvements that result from application of the Danaher Business System. Because these restructuring plans are incremental to the core activities that arise in the ordinary course of our business and we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating costs in a given period, we exclude these costs from the calculation of Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate a more consistent comparison of operating results over time.
With respect to the other items excluded from Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude these items because they are of a nature and/or size that occur with inconsistent frequency, occur for reasons that may be unrelated to the Company’s commercial performance during the period and/or we believe that such items may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult.
With respect to core sales, (1) we exclude the impact of currency translation because it is not under management’s control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends, and (2) we exclude the effect of acquisitions and divested product lines because the timing, size, number and nature of such transactions can vary significantly from period-to-period and between us and our peers, which we believe may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult.
With respect to the FCF Measure, we exclude payments for additions to property, plant and equipment (net of the proceeds from capital disposals) to demonstrate the amount of operating cash flow for the period that remains after accounting for our capital expenditure requirements.

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with the information included elsewhere in this prospectus. The risks and uncertainties described below are those that we have identified as material, but are not the only risks and uncertainties facing us. Our business is also subject to general risks and uncertainties that affect many other companies, such as market conditions, economic conditions, geopolitical events, changes in laws, regulations or accounting rules, fluctuations in interest rates, terrorism, wars or conflicts, major health concerns, natural disasters or other disruptions of expected business conditions. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may impair our business, including our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.
Risks Related to Our Businesses
Conditions in the global economy, the particular markets we serve and the financial markets may adversely affect our business and financial statements.
Our business is sensitive to general economic conditions. Slower global economic growth, actual or anticipated default on sovereign debt, volatility in the currency and credit markets, high levels of unemployment or underemployment, reduced levels of capital expenditures, changes or anticipation of potential changes in government trade, fiscal, tax and monetary policies, changes in capital requirements for financial institutions, government deficit reduction and budget negotiation dynamics, sequestration, austerity measures and other challenges that affect the global economy may adversely affect us and our distributors, customers and suppliers. Our success also depends upon the continued strength of the markets we serve. In many markets, dental reimbursement is largely out of pocket for the consumer and thus utilization rates can vary significantly depending on economic growth. While many of our products are considered necessary by patients regardless of the economic environment, certain products and services that support discretionary dental procedures may be susceptible to changes in economic conditions. The above factors can have the effect of:
reducing demand for our products and services (in this prospectus, references to products and services also includes software), limiting the financing available to our customers and suppliers, increasing order cancellations and resulting in longer sales cycles and slower adoption of new technologies;
increasing the difficulty in collecting accounts receivable and the risk of excess and obsolete inventories;
increasing price competition in our served markets;
supply interruptions, which could disrupt our ability to produce our products;
increasing the risk of impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets, and the risk that we may not be able to fully recover the value of other assets such as real estate and tax assets;
increasing the risk that counterparties to our contractual arrangements will become insolvent or otherwise unable to fulfill their contractual obligations which, in addition to increasing the risks identified above, could result in preference actions against us; and
adversely impacting market sizes.
There can be no assurances that the capital markets will be available to us or that the lenders participating in any credit facilities we may enter into will be able to provide financing in accordance with their contractual obligations. If growth in the global economy or in any of the markets we serve slows for a significant period, if there is significant deterioration in the global economy or such markets or if improvements in the global economy do not benefit the markets we serve, our business and financial statements could be adversely affected.
Significant developments or uncertainties stemming from the U.S. administration, including changes in U.S. trade policies, tariffs and the reaction of other countries thereto, could have an adverse effect on our business.
Changes, potential changes or uncertainties in U.S. social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or laws and policies governing foreign trade, the health care system, manufacturing, and development and investment in the territories and countries where we or our customers operate, stemming from the U.S. administration, could adversely affect our business and financial statements. For example, the U.S. administration has increased tariffs on certain goods imported into the United States, raised the possibility of imposing significant, additional tariff increases and called for substantial changes to trade agreements. In particular, trade tensions between the United States and China have been escalating in recent months. China accounted for approximately 7% of our sales in 2018. These factors have adversely affected, and in the future could further adversely affect, our operating results and our business.

Our growth could suffer if the markets into which we sell our products and services decline, do not grow as anticipated or experience cyclicality.
Our growth depends in part on the growth of the markets which we serve, and visibility into our markets is limited (particularly for markets into which we sell through distribution). Any decline or lower than expected growth in our served markets could diminish demand for our products and services, which would adversely affect our financial statements. Our quarterly sales and profits depend substantially on the volume and timing of orders received during the fiscal quarter, which are difficult to forecast. Certain of our businesses operate in industries that may also experience periodic, cyclical downturns.
In addition, in certain of our businesses, demand depends on customers’ capital spending budgets as well as government funding policies, and matters of public policy and government budget dynamics as well as product and economic cycles can affect the spending decisions of these entities. Demand for our products and services is also sensitive to changes in customer order patterns, which may be affected by announced price changes, marketing or promotional programs, new product introductions, the timing of industry trade shows and changes in distributor or customer inventory levels due to distributor or customer management thereof or other factors. Any of these factors could adversely affect our growth and results of operations in any given period.
Inventories maintained by our distributors and customers may fluctuate from time to time.
We rely in part on our distributor and customer relationships and predictions of distributor and customer inventory levels in projecting future demand levels and financial results. These inventory levels may fluctuate, and may differ from our predictions, resulting in our projections of future results being different than expected. These changes may be influenced by changing relationships with the distributor and customers, economic conditions and end-user preference for particular products. There can be no assurance that our distributors and customers will maintain levels of inventory in accordance with our predictions or past history, or that the timing of distributors’ or customers’ inventory build or liquidation will be in accordance with our predictions or past history.
We are dependent upon a limited number of distributors for a significant portion of our sales, and loss of a key distributor could result in a loss of a significant amount of our sales. In addition, adverse changes in our relationships with, or the financial condition, performance, purchasing patterns or inventory levels of, key distributors and other channel partners could adversely affect our financial statements.
Historically, a substantial portion of our sales had come from a limited number of distributors, particularly Henry Schein, Inc. (“Henry Schein”), which accounted for approximately 14% of our sales in 2018 . It is anticipated that Henry Schein will continue to be the largest contributor to our sales for the foreseeable future. By its terms, our master distribution agreement with Henry Schein, which covers distribution of KaVo Kerr products in the U.S. and Canada, is currently scheduled to expire on December 31, 2019, unless the parties mutually agree to extend the agreement. There can be no assurance that Henry Schein or any particular distributor will purchase any particular quantity of products from us or continue to purchase any products at all. If Henry Schein or any other significant distributor significantly reduces the volume of products purchased from us, it would have an adverse effect on our financial statements.
Our key distributors and other channel partners typically have valuable relationships with customers and end-users. Some of these distributors and other partners also sell our competitors’ products or compete with us directly, and if they favor competing products for any reason they may fail to market our products effectively. Adverse changes in our relationships with these distributors and other partners, reduction or discontinuation of their purchases from us or adverse developments in their financial condition, performance or purchasing patterns, could adversely affect our business and financial statements. The levels of inventory maintained by our distributors and other channel partners, and changes in those levels, can also significantly impact our results of operations in any given period. In addition, the consolidation of distributors and customers in certain of our served industries could adversely impact our business and financial statements.
We face intense competition and if we are unable to compete effectively, we may experience decreased demand and decreased market share. Even if we compete effectively, we may be required to reduce prices for our products and services.
Our businesses operate in industries that are intensely competitive and have been subject to increasing consolidation. Because of the range of the products and services we sell and the variety of markets we serve, we encounter a wide variety of competitors. See “Business—Competition . ” In order to compete effectively, we must retain longstanding relationships with major customers and continue to grow our business by establishing relationships with new customers, continually developing new products and services to maintain and expand our brand recognition and leadership position in various product and service categories and penetrating new markets, including high-growth markets. In addition, significant shifts in industry market share have occurred and may in the future occur in connection with product problems, safety alerts and publications about products, reflecting the competitive significance of product quality, product efficacy and quality systems in our industry. Our failure to

19

Table of Contents --------------

compete effectively and/or pricing pressures resulting from competition may adversely impact our financial statements, and our expansion into new markets may result in greater-than-expected risks, liabilities and expenses. In addition, we are exposed to the risk that our competitors or our customers may introduce private label, generic, or low-cost products that compete with our products at lower price points. If these competitors’ products capture significant market share or result in a decrease in market prices overall, this could have an adverse effect on our financial statements.
Our growth depends in part on the timely development and commercialization, and customer acceptance, of new and enhanced products and services based on technological innovation.
We generally sell our products and services in an industry that is characterized by rapid technological changes, frequent new product introductions and changing industry standards. If we do not develop innovative new and enhanced products and services on a timely basis, our offerings will become obsolete over time and our competitive position and financial statements will suffer. Our success will depend on several factors, including our ability to:
correctly identify customer needs and preferences and predict future needs and preferences;
allocate our research and development funding to products and services with higher growth prospects;
anticipate and respond to our competitors’ development of new products and services and technological innovations;
differentiate our offerings from our competitors’ offerings and avoid commoditization;
innovate and develop new technologies and applications, and acquire or obtain rights to third-party technologies that may have valuable applications in our served markets;
obtain adequate intellectual property rights with respect to key technologies before our competitors do;
successfully commercialize new technologies in a timely manner, price them competitively and cost-effectively manufacture and deliver sufficient volumes of new products of appropriate quality on time;
obtain necessary regulatory approvals of appropriate scope (including by demonstrating satisfactory clinical results where required); and
stimulate customer demand for and convince customers to adopt new technologies.
If we fail to accurately predict future customer needs and preferences or fail to produce viable technologies, we may invest heavily in research and development of products and services that do not lead to significant sales, which would adversely affect our profitability.
Even if we successfully innovate and develop new and enhanced products and services, we may incur substantial costs in doing so, and our profitability may suffer. In addition, promising new offerings may fail to reach the market or realize only limited commercial success because of real or perceived efficacy or safety concerns, failure to achieve positive clinical outcomes, uncertainty over third-party reimbursement or entrenched patterns of clinical practice. For additional information on third-party reimbursement of dental products, please refer to the section entitled “Business—Regulatory Matters.”
Our reputation, ability to do business and financial statements may be impaired by improper conduct by any of our employees, agents or business partners.
We cannot provide assurance that our internal controls and compliance systems will always protect us from acts committed by employees, agents or business partners of ours (or of businesses we acquire or partner with) that would violate U.S. and/or non-U.S. laws, including the laws governing payments to government officials, bribery, fraud, kickbacks and false claims, pricing, sales and marketing practices, conflicts of interest, competition, employment practices and workplace behavior, export and import compliance, economic and trade sanctions, money laundering and data privacy. In particular, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business, and we operate in many parts of the world that have experienced governmental corruption to some degree. Any such improper actions or allegations of such acts could damage our reputation and subject us to civil or criminal investigations in the U.S. and in other jurisdictions and related stockholder lawsuits, could lead to substantial civil and criminal, monetary and non-monetary penalties and could cause us to incur significant legal and investigatory fees. In addition, the government may seek to hold us liable for violations committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire. We also rely on our suppliers to adhere to our supplier standards of conduct, and material violations of such standards of conduct could occur that could have a material effect on our business, reputation and financial statements.

Certain of our businesses are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and by comparable agencies of other countries, as well as laws regulating fraud and abuse in the health care industry and the privacy and security of health information. Failure to comply with those regulations could adversely affect our reputation, ability to do business and financial statements.
Most of our products are medical devices subject to regulation by the FDA, by other federal and state governmental agencies, by comparable agencies of other countries and regions, by certain accrediting bodies and by regulations governing hazardous materials (or the manufacture and sale of products containing any such materials). The FDA and these other regulatory authorities enforce additional regulations regarding the safety of X-ray emitting devices. The global regulatory environment has become increasingly stringent and unpredictable. Several countries that did not have regulatory requirements for medical devices have established such requirements in recent years, and other countries have expanded, or plan to expand, their existing regulations. For example, the EU has adopted the EU Medical Device Regulation (the “EU MDR”) which imposes stricter requirements for the marketing and sale of medical devices, including in the area of clinical evaluation requirements, quality systems and post-market surveillance. Manufacturers of currently approved medical devices will have until May 2020 to meet the requirements of the EU MDR. Failure to meet these requirements could adversely impact our business in the EU and other regions that tie their product registrations to the EU requirements.
To varying degrees, these regulators require us to comply with laws and regulations governing the development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, marketing, distribution and post-marketing surveillance of our products. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain regulatory clearance (such as 510(k) clearance) or approvals for our new products or modifications to (or additional indications or uses of) existing products within our anticipated timeframe or at all, and if we do obtain such clearance or approval it may be time-consuming, costly and subject to restrictions. Our ability to obtain such regulatory clearances or approvals will depend on many factors and the process for obtaining such clearances or approvals could change over time. Even after initial regulatory clearance or approval, we are subject to periodic inspection by these regulatory authorities, and if safety issues arise we may be required to amend conditions for use of a product, such as providing additional warnings on the product’s label or narrowing its approved intended use, which could reduce the product’s market acceptance. Failure to obtain required regulatory clearances or approvals before marketing our products (or before implementing modifications to or promoting additional indications or uses of our products), other violations of these regulations, failure to remediate inspectional observations to the satisfaction of these regulatory authorities and real or perceived efficacy or safety concerns or trends of adverse events with respect to our products (even after obtaining clearance for distribution) can lead to FDA Form 483 Inspectional Observations, warning letters, notices to customers, declining sales, loss of customers, loss of market share, remediation and increased compliance costs, recalls, seizures of adulterated or misbranded products, injunctions, administrative detentions, refusals to permit importations, partial or total shutdown of production facilities or the implementation of operating restrictions, narrowing of permitted uses for a product, suspension or withdrawal of approvals and pre-market notification rescissions. We are also subject to various laws regulating fraud and abuse, pricing and sales and marketing practices in the health care industry and the privacy and security of health information as well as manufacturing and quality standards, including the federal regulations described in the section entitled “Business—Regulatory Matters.” Ensuring that our internal operations and business arrangements with third parties comply with applicable healthcare laws and regulations will involve substantial costs. It is possible that government authorities will conclude that our business practices do not comply with current or future statutes, regulations, agency guidance or case law involving applicable fraud and abuse or other healthcare laws and regulations.
Noncompliance with these standards can result in, among other things, fines, expenses, injunctions, civil penalties, recalls or seizures of products, total or partial suspension of production, refusal of the government to grant 510(k) clearance of devices, withdrawal of marketing approvals, criminal prosecutions and other adverse effects referenced below under “Our businesses are subject to extensive regulation; failure to comply with those regulations could adversely affect our financial statements and our business, including our reputation.” Further, defending against any such actions can be costly and time-consuming and may require significant personnel resources. Therefore, even if we are successful in defending against any such actions that may be brought against us, our business may be impaired.
Certain of our products may be subject to clinical trials, the results of which may be unexpected, or perceived as unfavorable by the market, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
As a part of the regulatory process of obtaining marketing clearance for new products and new indications for existing products, we may conduct and participate in clinical trials. Unexpected or inconsistent clinical data from existing or future clinical trials, or a regulator’s or the market’s perception of this clinical data, may adversely impact our ability to obtain product approvals, our position in, and share of, the markets in which we participate and our business and financial statements.

21

Table of Contents --------------

Off-label marketing of our products could result in substantial penalties.   
The FDA strictly regulates the promotional claims that may be made about approved or cleared products. In particular, any clearances we may receive only permit us to market our products for the uses indicated on the labeling cleared by the FDA. We may request additional label indications for our current products, and the FDA may deny those requests outright, require additional expensive performance or clinical data to support any additional indications or impose limitations on the intended use of any cleared products as a condition of clearance. If the FDA determines that we have marketed our products for off-label use, we could be subject to fines, injunctions or other penalties. It is also possible that other federal, state or foreign enforcement authorities might take action if they consider our business activities to constitute promotion of an off-label use, which could result in significant penalties, including, but not limited to, criminal, civil and administrative penalties, substantial monetary penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs, and/or the curtailment of our operations. Any of these events could significantly harm our business and results of operations and cause our stock price to decline.
Certain modifications to our products may require new 510(k) clearances or other marketing authorizations and may require us to recall or cease marketing our products.
Once a medical device is permitted to be legally marketed in the U.S. pursuant to a 510(k) clearance, a manufacturer may be required to notify the FDA of certain modifications to the device. Manufacturers determine in the first instance whether a change to a product requires a new premarket submission, but the FDA may review any manufacturer’s decision. The FDA may not agree with our decisions regarding whether new clearances are necessary. We have made modifications to our products in the past and have determined based on our review of the applicable FDA regulations and guidance that in certain instances new 510(k) clearances or other premarket submissions were not required. We may make similar modifications or add additional features in the future that we believe do not require a new 510(k) clearance. If the FDA disagrees with our determinations and requires us to submit new 510(k) notifications, we may be required to cease marketing or to recall the modified product until we obtain clearance, and we may be subject to significant regulatory fines or penalties.
The industries that we serve have undergone, and are in the process of undergoing, significant changes in an effort to reduce costs, which could adversely affect our financial statements.
The industries that we serve have undergone, and are in the process of undergoing, significant changes in an effort to reduce costs, including the following:
Governmental and private health care providers and payors around the world are increasingly utilizing managed care for the delivery of health care services, centralizing purchasing, limiting the number of vendors that may participate in purchasing programs, forming group purchasing organizations and integrated health delivery networks and pursuing consolidation to improve their purchasing leverage and using competitive bid processes to procure health care products and services.
Certain of our customers, and the end-users to whom our customers supply products, rely on government funding of and reimbursement for health care products and services and research activities. The U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act (collectively, the “PPACA”), health care austerity measures in other countries and other potential health care reform changes and government austerity measures have reduced and may further reduce the amount of government funding or reimbursement available to customers or end-users of our products and services and/or the volume of medical procedures using our products and services. Other countries, as well as some private payors, also control the price of health care products, directly or indirectly, through reimbursement, payment, pricing or coverage limitations, tying reimbursement to outcomes or (in the case of governmental entities) compulsory licensing. Global economic uncertainty or deterioration can also adversely impact government funding and reimbursement.
The PPACA imposes on medical device manufacturers, such as us, a 2.3% excise tax on U.S. sales of certain medical devices. The excise tax has been suspended until the end of 2019, but we would be subject to the tax beginning in 2020.
These changes as well as other impacts from market demand, government regulations, third-party coverage and reimbursement policies and societal pressures have started changing the way health care is delivered, reimbursed and funded and may cause participants in the health care industry and related industries that we serve to purchase fewer of our products and services, reduce the prices they are willing to pay for our products or services, reduce the amounts of reimbursement and funding available for our products and services from governmental agencies or third-party payors, heighten clinical data requirements, reduce the volume of medical procedures that use our products and services, affect the acceptance rate of new technologies and products and increase our compliance and other costs. In addition, we may be excluded from important market segments or

22

Table of Contents --------------

unable to enter into contracts with group purchasing organizations and integrated health networks on terms acceptable to us, and even if we do enter into such contracts they may be on terms that negatively affect our current or future profitability. All of the factors described above could adversely affect our business and financial statements.
Any inability to consummate acquisitions at our historical rate and at appropriate prices, and to make appropriate investments that support our long-term strategy, could negatively impact our growth rate and stock price.
Our ability to grow sales, earnings and cash flow at or above our historic rates depends in part upon our ability to identify and successfully acquire and integrate businesses at appropriate prices and realize anticipated synergies, and to make appropriate investments that support our long-term strategy. We may not be able to consummate acquisitions at rates similar to the past, which could adversely impact our growth rate and our stock price. Promising acquisitions and investments are difficult to identify and complete for a number of reasons, including high valuations, competition among prospective buyers, the availability of affordable funding in the capital markets and the need to satisfy applicable closing conditions and obtain applicable antitrust and other regulatory approvals on acceptable terms. In addition, competition for acquisitions and investment may result in higher purchase prices. Changes in accounting or regulatory requirements or instability in the credit markets could also adversely impact our ability to consummate acquisitions and investments.
Our acquisition of businesses, investments, joint ventures and other strategic relationships could negatively impact our financial statements.
As part of our business strategy we acquire businesses, make investments and enter into joint ventures and other strategic relationships in the ordinary course; please refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for additional details. Acquisitions, investments, joint ventures and strategic relationships involve a number of financial, accounting, managerial, operational, legal, compliance and other risks and challenges, including the following, any of which could adversely affect our business and our financial statements:
Any business, technology, service or product that we acquire or invest in could under-perform relative to our expectations and the price that we paid or not perform in accordance with our anticipated timetable, or we could fail to operate any such business profitably.
We may incur or assume significant debt in connection with our acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or strategic relationships, which could also cause a deterioration of our credit ratings, result in increased borrowing costs and interest expense and diminish our future access to the capital markets.
Acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or strategic relationships could cause our financial results to differ from our own or the investment community’s expectations in any given period, or over the long-term.
Pre-closing and post-closing earnings charges could adversely impact operating results in any given period, and the impact may be substantially different from period to period.
Acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or strategic relationships could create demands on our management, operational resources and financial and internal control systems that we are unable to effectively address.
We could experience difficulty in integrating personnel, operations and financial and other controls and systems and retaining key employees and customers.
We may be unable to achieve cost savings or other synergies anticipated in connection with an acquisition, investment, joint venture or strategic relationship.
We may assume unknown liabilities, known contingent liabilities that become realized, known liabilities that prove greater than anticipated, internal control deficiencies or exposure to regulatory sanctions resulting from the acquired company’s or investee’s activities and the realization of any of these liabilities or deficiencies may increase our expenses, adversely affect our financial position or cause us to fail to meet our public financial reporting obligations.
In connection with acquisitions and joint ventures, we often enter into post-closing financial arrangements such as purchase price adjustments, earn-out obligations and indemnification obligations, which may have unpredictable financial results.
As a result of our acquisitions and investments, we have recorded significant goodwill and other assets on our balance sheet and if we are not able to realize the value of these assets, or if the fair value of our investments declines, we may be required to incur impairment charges.

23

Table of Contents --------------

We may have interests that diverge from those of our joint venture partners or other strategic partners and we may not be able to direct the management and operations of the joint venture or other strategic relationship in the manner we believe is most appropriate, exposing us to additional risk.
Investing in or making loans to early-stage companies often entails a high degree of risk, and we may not achieve the strategic, technological, financial or commercial benefits we anticipate; we may lose our investment or fail to recoup our loan; or our investment may be illiquid for a greater-than-expected period of time.
The indemnification provisions of acquisition agreements by which we have acquired companies may not fully protect us and as a result we may face unexpected liabilities.
Certain of the acquisition agreements by which we have acquired companies require the former owners to indemnify us against certain liabilities related to the operation of the acquired company before we acquired it. In most of these agreements, however, the liability of the former owners is limited and certain former owners may be unable to meet their indemnification responsibilities. We cannot assure you that these indemnification provisions will protect us fully or at all, and as a result we may face unexpected liabilities that adversely affect our financial statements.
Divestitures or other dispositions could negatively impact our business, and contingent liabilities from businesses that we or our predecessors have sold could adversely affect our financial statements.
We continually assess the strategic fit of our existing businesses and may divest, spin-off, split-off or otherwise dispose of businesses that are deemed not to fit with our strategic plan or are not achieving the desired return on investment. These transactions pose risks and challenges that could negatively impact our business and financial statements. For example, when we decide to sell or otherwise dispose of a business or assets, we may be unable to do so on satisfactory terms within our anticipated timeframe or at all, and even after reaching a definitive agreement to sell or dispose a business the sale is typically subject to satisfaction of pre-closing conditions which may not become satisfied. In addition, divestitures or other dispositions may dilute our earnings per share, have other adverse tax, financial and accounting impacts and distract management, and disputes may arise with buyers. In addition, we have retained responsibility for and/or have agreed to indemnify buyers against some known and unknown contingent liabilities related to certain businesses or assets we or our predecessors have sold or disposed. The resolution of these contingencies has not had a material effect on our financial statements but we cannot be certain that this favorable pattern will continue.
A significant disruption in, or breach in security of, our information technology systems or data or violation of data privacy laws could adversely affect our business, reputation and financial statements.
We rely on information technology systems, some of which are provided and/or managed by third parties, to process, transmit and store electronic information (including sensitive data such as confidential business information and personal data relating to employees, customers, other business partners and patients), and to manage or support a variety of critical business processes and activities (such as receiving and fulfilling orders, billing, collecting and making payments, shipping products, providing services and support to customers and fulfilling contractual obligations). In addition, some of our software products and services incorporate information technology that may house personal data and some products or software we sell to customers may connect to our systems for maintenance or other purposes. These systems, products and services (including those we acquire through business acquisitions) may be damaged, disrupted or shut down due to attacks by computer hackers, computer viruses, ransomware, human error or malfeasance, power outages, hardware failures, telecommunication or utility failures, catastrophes or other unforeseen events, and in any such circumstances our system redundancy and other disaster recovery planning may be ineffective or inadequate. Attacks may also target hardware, software and information installed, stored or transmitted in our products after such products have been purchased and incorporated into third-party products, facilities or infrastructure. Security breaches of our systems, regardless of whether the breach is attributable to a vulnerability in our products or services, or security breaches of third parties’ systems, which we rely upon to process, store, or transmit electronic information, could result in the misappropriation, destruction or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information or personal data belonging to us or to our employees, partners, customers, patients or suppliers. Like most multinational corporations, our information technology systems have been subject to computer viruses, malicious codes, unauthorized access and other cyber-attacks and we expect the sophistication and frequency of such attacks to continue to increase. Unauthorized tampering, adulteration or interference with our products may also adversely affect product functionality and result in loss of data, risk to patient safety and product recalls or field actions. Any of the attacks, breaches or other disruptions or damage described above could interrupt our operations or the operations of our customers and partners, delay production and shipments, result in theft of our and our customers’ intellectual property and trade secrets, damage customer, patient, business partner and employee relationships and our reputation or result in defective products or services, legal claims and proceedings, liability and penalties under privacy laws and increased costs for security and remediation, each of which could adversely affect our business, reputation and financial statements.

If we are unable to maintain reliable information technology systems and appropriate controls with respect to global data privacy and security requirements and prevent data breaches, we may suffer adverse regulatory consequences, business consequences and litigation. As a global organization, we are subject to data privacy and security laws, regulations, and customer-imposed controls in numerous jurisdictions as a result of having access to and processing confidential, personal and/or sensitive data in the course of our business. For example, in the United States, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) privacy and security rules require certain of our operations to maintain controls to protect the availability and confidentiality of patient health information, individual states regulate data breach and security requirements and multiple governmental bodies assert authority over aspects of the protection of personal privacy. Entities that are found to be in violation of HIPAA as the result of a breach of unsecured patient health information, a complaint about privacy practices or an audit by HHS, may be subject to significant civil, criminal and administrative fines and penalties and/or additional reporting and oversight obligations if required to enter into a resolution agreement and corrective action plan with HHS to settle allegations of HIPAA non-compliance. The new EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which became effective in May 2018, has imposed significantly stricter requirements in how we collect, transmit, process and retain personal data, including, among other things, a requirement for almost immediate notice of data breaches to supervisory authorities in certain circumstances and prompt notice to data subjects in certain circumstances with significant fines for non-compliance. Failure to comply with the requirements of GDPR and the applicable national data protection laws of the EU member states may result in fines of up to €20,000,000 or up to 4% of the total worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year, whichever is higher, and other administrative penalties. Several other countries such as China and Russia have passed, and other countries are considering passing, laws that require personal data relating to their citizens to be maintained on local servers and impose additional data transfer restrictions. Lastly, there is a new, broad privacy law in California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), which comes into effect in January 2020. The CCPA has some of the same features as the GDPR, and has already prompted several other states to follow with similar laws. Government enforcement actions can be costly and interrupt the regular operation of our business, and data breaches or violations of data privacy laws can result in fines, reputational damage and civil lawsuits, any of which may adversely affect our business, reputation and financial statements. Also, the manufacturer may be subject to significant regulatory fines or penalties. In addition, compliance with the varying data privacy regulations across the United States and around the world have required significant expenditures and may require additional expenditures, and may require changes in our products or business models that increase competition or reduce sales.
Our operations, products and services expose us to the risk of environmental, health and safety liabilities, costs and violations that could adversely affect our business, reputation and financial statements.
Our operations, products and services are subject to environmental laws and regulations, which impose limitations on the discharge of pollutants into the environment, establish standards for the use, generation, treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes and impose end-of-life disposal and take-back programs. We must also comply with various health and safety regulations in the United States and abroad in connection with our operations. We cannot assure you that our environmental, health and safety compliance program (or the compliance programs of businesses we acquire) have been or will at all times be effective. Failure to comply with any of these laws could result in civil and criminal, monetary and non-monetary penalties and damage to our reputation. In addition, we cannot provide assurance that our costs of complying with current or future environmental protection and health and safety laws will not exceed our estimates or adversely affect our financial statements.
In addition, we may incur costs related to remedial efforts or alleged environmental damage associated with past or current waste disposal practices or other hazardous materials handling practices. We are also from time to time party to personal injury, property damage or other claims brought by private parties alleging injury or damage due to the presence of or exposure to hazardous substances. We may also become subject to additional remedial, compliance or personal injury costs due to future events such as changes in existing laws or regulations, changes in agency direction or enforcement policies, developments in remediation technologies, changes in the conduct of our operations and changes in accounting rules. For additional information regarding these risks, please refer to Note 14 to the audited Combined Financial Statements included in this prospectus. We cannot assure you that our liabilities arising from past or future releases of, or exposures to, hazardous substances will not exceed our estimates or adversely affect our reputation and financial statements or that we will not be subject to additional claims for personal injury or remediation in the future based on our past, present or future business activities. However, based on the information we currently have we do not believe that it is reasonably possible that any amounts we may be required to pay in connection with environmental matters in excess of our reserves as of the date of this prospectus will have a material effect on our financial statements.

Our businesses are subject to extensive regulation; failure to comply with those regulations could adversely affect our financial statements and our business, including our reputation.
In addition to the environmental, health, safety, health care, medical device, anticorruption, data privacy and other regulations noted elsewhere in this prospectus, our businesses are subject to extensive regulation by U.S. and non-U.S. governmental and self-regulatory entities at the supranational, federal, state, local and other jurisdictional levels, including the following:
we are required to comply with various import laws and export control and economic sanctions laws, which may affect our transactions with certain customers, business partners and other persons and dealings between our employees and between our subsidiaries. In certain circumstances, export control and economic sanctions regulations may prohibit the export of certain products, services and technologies. In other circumstances, we may be required to obtain an export license before exporting the controlled item. Compliance with the various import laws that apply to our businesses can restrict our access to, and increase the cost of obtaining, certain products and at times can interrupt our supply of imported inventory; and
we also have agreements to sell products and services to government entities and are subject to various statutes and regulations that apply to companies doing business with government entities (less than 1% of our 2018 sales were made to the U.S. federal government). The laws governing government contracts differ from the laws governing private contracts. For example, many government contracts contain pricing and other terms and conditions that are not applicable to private contracts. Our agreements with government entities may be subject to termination, reduction or modification at the convenience of the government or in the event of changes in government requirements, reductions in federal spending and other factors, and we may underestimate our costs of performing under the contract. In certain cases, a governmental entity may require us to pay back amounts it has paid to us. Government contracts that have been awarded to us following a bid process could become the subject of a bid protest by a losing bidder, which could result in loss of the contract. We are also subject to investigation and audit for compliance with the requirements governing government contracts.
These are not the only regulations that our businesses must comply with. The regulations we are subject to have tended to become more stringent over time and may be inconsistent across jurisdictions. We, our representatives and the industries in which we operate may at times be under review and/or investigation by regulatory authorities. Compliance with these and other regulations may also affect our returns on investment, require us to incur significant expenses or modify our business model or impair our flexibility in modifying product, marketing, pricing or other strategies for growing our business. Our products and operations are also often subject to the rules of industrial standards bodies such as the International Standards Organization, and failure to comply with these rules could result in withdrawal of certifications needed to sell our products and services and otherwise adversely impact our business and financial statements. Non-compliance with applicable requirements (or any alleged or perceived failure to comply) could result in import detentions, fines, damages, civil and administrative penalties, injunctions, suspensions or losses of regulatory approvals, recall or seizure of products, operating restrictions, refusal of the government to approve product export applications or allow us to enter into supply contracts, disbarment from selling to certain governmental agencies or exclusion from government funded healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid or similar programs in other countries or jurisdictions, integrity oversight and reporting obligations to resolve allegations of non-compliance, disruption of our business, limitation on our ability to manufacture, import, export and sell products and services, loss of customers, significant legal and investigatory fees, disgorgement, individual imprisonment, reputational harm, contractual damages, diminished profits, curtailment or restricting of business operations, criminal prosecution and other monetary and non-monetary penalties. For additional information regarding these risks, please refer to the section entitled “Business—Regulatory Matters.”
We may be required to recognize impairment charges for our goodwill and other intangible assets.
As of December 31, 2018 , the net carrying value of our goodwill and other intangible assets totaled approximately $4.7 billion . In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we periodically assess these assets to determine if they are impaired. Significant negative industry or economic trends, disruptions to our business, inability to effectively integrate acquired businesses, unexpected significant changes or planned changes in use of our assets, changes in the structure of our business, divestitures, market capitalization declines, or increases in associated discount rates may impair our goodwill and other intangible assets. Any charges relating to such impairments would adversely affect our results of operations in the periods recognized.
Foreign currency exchange rates may adversely affect our financial statements.
Sales and purchases in currencies other than the U.S. dollar expose us to fluctuations in foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and may adversely affect our financial statements. Increased strength of the U.S. dollar increases the effective price of our products sold in U.S. dollars into other countries, which may require us to lower our prices or adversely affect sales to the extent we do not increase local currency prices. Decreased strength of the U.S. dollar could adversely affect the cost of

26

Table of Contents --------------

materials, products and services we purchase overseas. Sales and expenses of our non-U.S. businesses are also translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes and the strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar could result in unfavorable translation effects. In addition, certain of our businesses may invoice customers in a currency other than the business’ functional currency, and movements in the invoiced currency relative to the functional currency could also result in unfavorable translation effects. We also face exchange rate risk from our investments in subsidiaries owned and operated in foreign countries.
Changes in our tax rates or exposure to additional income tax liabilities or assessments could affect our profitability. In addition, audits by tax authorities could result in additional tax payments for prior periods.
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and in numerous non-U.S. jurisdictions. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) was enacted. The TCJA significantly revised the U.S. federal corporate income tax law by, among other things, lowering the corporate income tax rate to 21%, implementing a quasi-territorial tax system, and imposing a one-time tax on unremitted cumulative non-U.S. earnings of foreign subsidiaries (“Transition Tax”). The U.S. Treasury Department and IRS continue to issue regulations with respect to implementing the TCJA and further regulations are expected to be issued.
Due to the potential for changes to tax laws and regulations or changes to the interpretation thereof (including regulations and interpretations pertaining to the TCJA), the ambiguity of tax laws and regulations, the subjectivity of factual interpretations, the complexity of our intercompany arrangements, uncertainties regarding the geographic mix of earnings in any particular period, and other factors, our estimates of effective tax rate and income tax assets and liabilities may be incorrect and our financial statements could be adversely affected; please refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for a discussion of additional factors that may adversely affect our effective tax rate and decrease our profitability in any period. The impact of these factors referenced in the first sentence of this paragraph may be substantially different from period-to-period.
In addition, the amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by U.S. federal, state and local tax authorities and by non-U.S. tax authorities, such as the audits described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the audited Combined Financial Statements included in this prospectus. If audits result in payments or assessments different from our reserves, our future results may include unfavorable adjustments to our tax liabilities and our financial statements could be adversely affected. Any further significant changes to the tax system in the United States or in other jurisdictions (including changes in the taxation of international income as further described below) could adversely affect our financial statements.
Changes in tax law relating to multinational corporations could adversely affect our tax position.
The U.S. Congress, government agencies in non-U.S. jurisdictions where we and our affiliates do business, and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) have recently focused on issues related to the taxation of multinational corporations. One example is in the area of “base erosion and profit shifting,” where profits are claimed to be earned for tax purposes in low-tax jurisdictions, or payments are made between affiliates from a jurisdiction with high tax rates to a jurisdiction with lower tax rates. The OECD has released several components of its comprehensive plan to create an agreed set of international rules for addressing base erosion and profit shifting. As a result, the tax laws in the United States and other countries in which we do business could change on a prospective or retroactive basis, and any such changes could adversely affect our business and financial statements.
We are subject to a variety of litigation and other legal and regulatory proceedings in the course of our business that could adversely affect our business and financial statements.
We are subject to a variety of litigation and other legal and regulatory proceedings incidental to our business (or the business operations of previously owned entities), including claims or counterclaims for damages arising out of the use of products or services and claims relating to intellectual property matters, employment matters, tax matters, commercial disputes, breach of contract claims, competition and sales and trading practices, environmental matters, personal injury, insurance coverage and acquisition-related matters, as well as regulatory subpoenas, requests for information, investigations and enforcement. We may also become subject to lawsuits as a result of past or future acquisitions or as a result of liabilities retained from, or representations, warranties or indemnities provided in connection with, businesses divested by us or our predecessors. The types of claims made in lawsuits include claims for compensatory damages, punitive and consequential damages (and in some cases, treble damages) and/or injunctive relief. The defense of these lawsuits may divert our management’s attention, we may incur significant expenses in defending these lawsuits, and we may be required to pay damage awards or settlements or become subject to equitable remedies that could adversely affect our operations and financial statements. Moreover, any insurance or indemnification rights that we may have may be insufficient or unavailable to protect us against such losses. In addition, developments in proceedings in any given period may require us to adjust the loss contingency estimates that we have recorded in our financial statements, record estimates for liabilities or assets previously not susceptible of reasonable estimates or pay cash settlements or judgments. Any of these developments could adversely affect our financial statements in any particular period. We cannot assure you that our liabilities in connection with litigation and other legal and regulatory proceedings will

27

Table of Contents --------------

not exceed our estimates or adversely affect our financial statements and business. However, based on our experience, current information and applicable law, we do not believe that it is reasonably possible that any amounts we may be required to pay in connection with litigation and other legal and regulatory proceedings in excess of our reserves as of the date of this prospectus will have a material effect on our financial statements.
If we do not or cannot adequately protect our intellectual property, or if third parties infringe our intellectual property rights, we may suffer competitive injury or expend significant resources enforcing our rights.
Many of the markets we serve are technology-driven, and as a result intellectual property rights play a significant role in product development and differentiation. We own numerous patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and other intellectual property and licenses to intellectual property owned by others, which in aggregate are important to our business. The intellectual property rights that we obtain, however, may not be sufficiently broad or otherwise may not provide us a significant competitive advantage, and patents may not be issued for pending or future patent applications owned by or licensed to us. In addition, the steps that we and our licensors have taken to maintain and protect our intellectual property may not prevent it from being challenged, invalidated, circumvented, designed-around or becoming subject to compulsory licensing, particularly in countries where intellectual property rights are not highly developed or protected. In some circumstances, enforcement may not be available to us because an infringer has a dominant intellectual property position or for other business reasons, or countries may require compulsory licensing of our intellectual property. We also rely on nondisclosure and noncompetition agreements with employees, consultants and other parties to protect, in part, trade secrets and other proprietary rights. There can be no assurance that these agreements will adequately protect our trade secrets and other proprietary rights and will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach, that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information or that third parties will not otherwise gain access to our trade secrets or other proprietary rights. Our failure to obtain or maintain intellectual property rights that convey competitive advantage, adequately protect our intellectual property or detect or prevent circumvention or unauthorized use of such property and the cost of enforcing our intellectual property rights could adversely impact our business, including our competitive position, and financial statements.
Third parties may claim that we are infringing or misappropriating their intellectual property rights and we could suffer significant litigation expenses, losses or licensing expenses or be prevented from selling products or services.
From time to time, we receive notices from third parties alleging intellectual property infringement or misappropriation of third parties’ intellectual property and cannot be certain that the conduct of our business does not and will not infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property rights of others. Any dispute or litigation regarding intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming to defend due to the complexity of many of our technologies and the uncertainty of intellectual property litigation. Our intellectual property portfolio may not be useful in asserting a counterclaim, or negotiating a license, in response to a claim of infringement or misappropriation. In addition, as a result of such claims of infringement or misappropriation, we could lose our rights to critical technology, be unable to license critical technology or sell critical products and services, be required to pay substantial damages or license fees with respect to the infringed rights, be required to license technology or other intellectual property rights from others, be required to cease marketing, manufacturing or using certain products or be required to redesign, re-engineer or re-brand our products at substantial cost, any of which could adversely impact our business, including our competitive position, and financial statements. Third-party intellectual property rights may also make it more difficult or expensive for us to meet market demand for particular product or design innovations. If we are required to seek licenses under patents or other intellectual property rights of others, we may not be able to acquire these licenses on acceptable terms, if at all. Even if we successfully defend against claims of infringement or misappropriation, we may incur significant costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could adversely affect our business and financial statements.
Defects and unanticipated use or inadequate disclosure with respect to our products or services (including software), or allegations thereof, could adversely affect our business, reputation and financial statements.
Manufacturing or design defects or “bugs” in, unanticipated use of, safety or quality issues (or the perception of such issues) with respect to, “off label” use of, or inadequate disclosure of risks relating to the use of products and services that we make or sell (including items that we source from third parties) can lead to personal injury, death, property damage, loss of profits or other liability. These events could lead to recalls or safety alerts, result in the removal of a product or service from the market and result in product liability or similar claims being brought against us. Recalls, removals and product liability and similar claims (regardless of their validity or ultimate outcome) can result in significant costs, as well as negative publicity and damage to our reputation that could reduce demand for our products and services. Our business can also be affected by studies of the utilization, safety and efficacy of medical device products and components that are conducted by industry participants, government agencies and others. Any of the above can result in the discontinuation of marketing of such products in one or more countries, and may give rise to claims for damages from persons who believe they have been injured as a result of product issues, including claims by individuals or groups seeking to represent a class.

The manufacture of many of our products is a highly exacting and complex process, and if we directly or indirectly encounter problems manufacturing products, our reputation, business and financial statements could suffer.
The manufacture of many of our products is a highly exacting and complex process, due in part to strict regulatory requirements. Problems may arise during manufacturing for a variety of reasons, including equipment malfunction, failure to follow specific protocols and procedures, problems with raw materials, natural disasters and environmental factors, and if not discovered before the product is released to market could result in recalls and product liability exposure. Because of the time required to approve and license certain regulated manufacturing facilities and other stringent regulations of the FDA and similar agencies regarding the manufacture of certain of our products, an alternative manufacturer may not be available on a timely basis to replace such production capacity. Any of these manufacturing problems could result in significant costs, liability and lost sales, loss of market share as well as negative publicity and damage to our reputation that could reduce demand for our products.
Our financial results are subject to fluctuations in the cost and availability of commodities that we use in our operations.
As further discussed in the section entitled “Business Materials,” our manufacturing and other operations employ a wide variety of components, raw materials and other commodities, including metallic-based components, electronic components, chemicals, plastics and other petroleum-based products. Prices for and availability of these components, raw materials and other commodities have fluctuated significantly in the past. Any sustained interruption in the supply of these items could adversely affect our business. In addition, due to the highly competitive nature of the industries that we serve, the cost-containment efforts of our customers and the terms of certain contracts we are party to, if commodity prices rise we may be unable to pass along cost increases through higher prices. If we are unable to fully recover higher commodity costs through price increases or offset these increases through cost reductions, or if there is a time delay between the increase in costs and our ability to recover or offset these costs, our margins and profitability could decline and our financial statements could be adversely affected.
If we cannot adjust our manufacturing capacity or the purchases required for our manufacturing activities to reflect changes in market conditions and customer demand, our profitability may suffer. In addition, our reliance upon sole or limited sources of supply for certain materials, components and services could cause production interruptions, delays and inefficiencies.
We purchase materials, components and equipment from third parties for use in our manufacturing operations, including metallic-based components, electronic components, chemicals, plastics and other petroleum-based products. Our profitability could be adversely impacted if we are unable to adjust our purchases to reflect changes in customer demand and market fluctuations, including those caused by seasonality or cyclicality. During a market upturn, suppliers may extend lead times, limit supplies or increase prices. If we cannot purchase sufficient products at competitive prices and quality and on a timely enough basis to meet increasing demand, we may not be able to satisfy market demand, product shipments may be delayed, our costs may increase or we may breach our contractual commitments and incur liabilities. Conversely, in order to secure supplies for the production of products, we sometimes enter into non-cancelable purchase commitments with vendors, which could impact our ability to adjust our inventory to reflect declining market demands. If demand for our products is less than we expect, we may experience additional excess and obsolete inventories and be forced to incur additional charges and our profitability may suffer.
In addition, some of our businesses purchase certain requirements from sole or limited source suppliers for reasons of quality assurance, regulatory requirements, cost effectiveness, availability or uniqueness of design. If these or other suppliers encounter financial, operating or other difficulties or if our relationship with them changes, we might not be able to quickly establish or qualify replacement sources of supply. The supply chains for our businesses could also be disrupted by supplier capacity constraints, bankruptcy or exiting of the business for other reasons, decreased availability of key raw materials or commodities and external events such as natural disasters, pandemic health issues, war, terrorist actions, governmental actions and legislative or regulatory changes. Any of these factors could result in production interruptions, delays, extended lead times and inefficiencies.
Because we cannot always immediately adapt our production capacity and related cost structures to changing market conditions, our manufacturing capacity may at times exceed or fall short of our production requirements. Any or all of these problems could result in the loss of customers, provide an opportunity for competing products to gain market acceptance and otherwise adversely affect our financial statements.

Our restructuring actions could have long-term adverse effects on our business.
In recent years, we have implemented significant restructuring activities across our businesses to adjust our cost structure, and we may engage in similar restructuring activities in the future. These restructuring activities and our regular ongoing cost reduction activities (including in connection with the integration of acquired businesses) reduce our available talent, assets and other resources and could slow improvements in our products and services, adversely affect our ability to respond to customers, limit our ability to increase production quickly if demand for our products increases and trigger adverse public attention. In addition, delays in implementing planned restructuring activities or other productivity improvements, unexpected costs or failure to meet targeted improvements may diminish the operational or financial benefits we expect to realize from such actions. Any of the circumstances described above could adversely impact our business and financial statements.
Changes in governmental regulations may reduce demand for our products or services or increase our expenses.
We compete in markets in which we and our customers must comply with supranational, federal, state, local and other jurisdictional regulations, such as regulations governing health and safety, the environment, food and drugs and privacy. We develop, configure and market our products and services to meet customer needs created by these regulations. These regulations are complex, change frequently, have tended to become more stringent over time and may be inconsistent across jurisdictions. Any significant change in any of these regulations (or in the interpretation or application thereof) could reduce demand for, increase our costs of producing or delay the introduction of new or modified products and services, or could restrict our existing activities, products and services.
Work stoppages, union and works council campaigns and other labor disputes could adversely impact our productivity and results of operations.
Certain of our U.S. and non-U.S. employees are subject to collective labor arrangements. We are subject to potential work stoppages, union and works council campaigns and other labor disputes, any of which could adversely impact our financial statements and business, including our productivity and reputation.
International economic, political, legal, compliance and business factors could negatively affect our financial statements.
In 2018 , 56% of our sales were derived from customers outside the U.S. In addition, many of our manufacturing operations, suppliers and employees are located outside the U.S. Since our growth strategy depends in part on our ability to further penetrate markets outside the U.S. and increase the localization of our products and services, we expect to continue to increase our sales and presence outside the U.S., particularly in the high-growth markets. Our international business (and particularly our business in high-growth markets) is subject to risks that are customarily encountered in non-U.S. operations, including:
interruption in the transportation of materials to us and finished goods to our customers;
differences in terms of sale, including payment terms;
local product preferences and product requirements;
changes in a country’s or region’s political or economic conditions, such as the devaluation of particular currencies;
trade protection measures, embargoes and import or export restrictions and requirements;
unexpected changes in laws or regulatory requirements, including changes in tax laws;
capital controls and limitations on ownership and on repatriation of earnings and cash;
the potential for nationalization of enterprises;
changes in medical reimbursement policies and programs;
limitations on legal rights and our ability to enforce such rights;
difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations;
differing labor regulations;
difficulties in implementing restructuring actions on a timely or comprehensive basis;
differing protection of intellectual property; and

30

Table of Contents --------------

greater uncertainty, risk, expense and delay in commercializing products in certain foreign jurisdictions, including with respect to product and other regulatory approvals.
Any of these risks could negatively affect our financial statements, business, growth rate, competitive position, results of operations and financial condition.
For example, we generate more than 5% of our annual sales from China. Accordingly, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely influenced by political, economic and social conditions in China generally. Additionally, China’s government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies, and it maintains control over China’s economic growth through setting monetary policy and determining treatment of particular industries or companies. Further, considerable uncertainty exists regarding the long-term effects of the expansionary monetary and fiscal policies adopted by the central banks and financial authorities of some of the world’s leading economies, including the United States and China. Any uncertainty or adverse changes to economic conditions in China or the policies of China’s government or its laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China and could impact our business and operating results, leading to a reduction in demand for our products and adversely affecting our financial statements, business, growth rate, competitive position, results of operations and financial condition.
Significant developments stemming from the United Kingdom’s referendum on membership in the EU could have an adverse effect on us.
In a referendum on June 23, 2016, voters in the United Kingdom (the “UK”) voted for the UK to exit the EU (referred to as Brexit). It is currently unclear how long it will take the UK to negotiate a withdrawal agreement and the terms of its withdrawal and the nature of its future relationship with the EU are still being decided. This referendum has caused and may continue to cause political and economic uncertainty, including significant volatility in global stock markets and currency exchange rate fluctuations. Even if no agreement is reached, the UK’s separation still becomes effective unless all EU members unanimously agree on an extension. Negotiations have commenced to determine the future terms of the UK relationship with the EU, including, among other things, the terms of trade between the UK and the EU. On April 11, 2019, the EU granted the UK an extension to October 31, 2019. The purpose of this extension is to allow for the ratification of the withdrawal agreement by the UK House of Commons. The effects of Brexit will depend on many factors, including any agreements that the UK makes to retain access to EU markets either during a transitional period or more permanently. Brexit could lead to legal uncertainty and potentially divergent national laws and regulations as the UK determines which EU laws to replace or replicate. In a “hard Brexit” scenario, there could be increased costs from re-imposition of tariffs on trade between the UK and EU, shipping delays because of the need for customs inspections and procedures, and temporary shortages of certain goods. In addition, trade and investment between the UK, the EU, the United States and other countries will be impacted by the fact that the UK currently operates under the EU’s tax treaties. The UK will need to negotiate its own tax and trade treaties with countries all over the world, which could take years to complete. Depending on the terms of Brexit, we could become subject to tariffs and regulatory restrictions that could increase the costs and time related to doing business in the UK. Additionally, Brexit could result in the UK or the European Union significantly altering its regulations affecting the clearance or approval of our products that are developed or manufactured in the UK. Any new regulations could add time and expense to the conduct of our business, as well as the process by which our products receive regulatory approval in the UK, the EU and elsewhere. Any of these factors could adversely affect customer demand, our relationships with customers and suppliers and our business and financial statements. We have no manufacturing facilities in the UK, and for the year ended December 31, 2018, less than 2% of our sales were derived from customers located in the UK; however, the impact of Brexit could also impact our sales outside the UK.
If we suffer loss to our facilities, supply chains, distribution systems or information technology systems due to catastrophe or other events, our operations could be seriously harmed.
Our facilities, supply chains, distribution systems and information technology systems are subject to catastrophic loss due to fire, flood, earthquake, hurricane, public health crisis, war, terrorism or other natural or man-made disasters. If any of these facilities, supply chains or systems were to experience a catastrophic loss, it could disrupt our operations, delay production and shipments, result in defective products or services, damage customer relationships and our reputation and result in legal exposure and large repair or replacement expenses. The third-party insurance coverage that we maintain will vary from time to time in both type and amount depending on cost, availability and our decisions regarding risk retention, and may be unavailable or insufficient to protect us against such losses.
Our defined benefit pension plans are subject to financial market risks that could adversely affect our financial statements.
The performance of the financial markets and interest rates impact our defined benefit pension plan expenses and funding obligations. Significant changes in market interest rates, decreases in the fair value of plan assets, investment losses on plan assets and changes in discount rates may increase our funding obligations and adversely impact our financial statements. In

31

addition, upward pressure on the cost of providing health care coverage to current employees and retirees may increase our future funding obligations and adversely affect our financial statements.
Our ability to attract, develop and retain talented executives and other key employees is critical to our success.
Our future performance is dependent upon our ability to attract, motivate and retain executives and other key employees. The loss of services of executives and other key employees or the failure to attract, motivate and develop talented new executives or other key employees could prevent us from successfully implementing and executing business strategies, and therefore adversely affect our financial statements. Our success also depends on our ability to attract, develop and retain a talented employee base. Certain employees could leave us given uncertainties relating to the separation, resulting in the inability to operate our business with employees possessing the appropriate expertise, which could have an adverse effect on our performance.
Risks Related to the Separation and Our Relationship with Danaher
We have no history of operating as a separate, publicly-traded company, and our historical and pro forma financial information is not necessarily representative of the results that we would have achieved as a separate, publicly-traded company and may not be a reliable indicator of our future results.
The historical information about us in this prospectus refers to our businesses as operated by and integrated with Danaher. Our historical and pro forma financial information included in this prospectus is derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Danaher. Accordingly, the historical and pro forma financial information included in this prospectus does not necessarily reflect the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows that we would have achieved as a separate, publicly-traded company during the periods presented or those that we will achieve in the future primarily as a result of the factors described below:
prior to the separation, our businesses have been operated by Danaher as part of its broader corporate organization, rather than as a separate, publicly-traded company. Danaher or one of its affiliates performed various corporate functions for us such as legal, treasury, accounting, auditing, human resources, corporate affairs and finance. Our historical and pro forma financial results reflect allocations of corporate expenses from Danaher for such functions and are likely to be less than the expenses we would have incurred had we operated as a separate publicly-traded company. Following the separation, our cost related to such functions previously performed by Danaher may therefore increase;
currently, our businesses are integrated with the other businesses of Danaher. Historically, we have shared economies of scope and scale in costs, employees, vendor relationships and customer relationships. Although we will enter into transition agreements with Danaher, these arrangements may not fully capture the benefits that we have enjoyed as a result of being integrated with Danaher and may result in us paying higher charges than in the past for these services. This could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition following the completion of the separation;
generally, our working capital requirements and capital for our general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and capital expenditures, have historically been satisfied as part of the corporate-wide cash management policies of Danaher. Following the completion of the separation, we may need to obtain additional financing from banks, through public offerings or private placements of debt or equity securities, strategic relationships or other arrangements;
after the completion of the separation, the cost of capital for our businesses may be higher than Danaher’s cost of capital prior to the separation; and
our historical financial information does not reflect the debt or the associated interest expense that we are expected to incur as part of the separation and distribution (if pursued).
Other significant changes may occur in our cost structure, management, financing and business operations as a result of operating as a company separate from Danaher. For additional information about the past financial performance of our businesses and the basis of presentation of the historical Combined Financial Statements and the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements of our businesses, please refer to the sections entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements,” “Selected Historical Combined Financial Data,” Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the audited Combined Financial Statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.
As a separate, publicly-traded company, we may not enjoy the same benefits that we did as a part of Danaher.
There is a risk that, by separating from Danaher, we may become more susceptible to market fluctuations and other adverse events than we would have been if we were still a part of the current Danaher organizational structure. As part of Danaher, we

32

Table of Contents --------------

have been able to enjoy certain benefits from Danaher’s operating diversity, purchasing power and opportunities to pursue integrated strategies with Danaher’s other businesses. As a separate, publicly-traded company, we will not have similar diversity or integration opportunities and may not have similar purchasing power or access to capital markets. Additionally, as part of Danaher, we have been able to leverage the Danaher historical market reputation and performance and brand identity to recruit and retain key personnel to run our business. As a separate, publicly-traded company, we will not have the same historical market reputation and performance or brand identity as Danaher and it may be more difficult for us to recruit or retain such key personnel.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements included in this prospectus are presented for informational purposes only and may not be an indication of our financial condition or results of operations in the future.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements included in this prospectus are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what our actual financial condition or results of operations would have been had the separation been completed on the date indicated. The assumptions used in preparing the pro forma financial information may not prove to be accurate and other factors may affect our financial condition or results of operations. Accordingly, our financial condition and results of operations in the future may not be evident from or consistent with such pro forma financial information.
Following the separation and this offering, Danaher will continue to control the direction of our business, and the concentrated ownership of our common stock may prevent you and other stockholders from influencing significant decisions.
Immediately following the completion of this offering, Danaher will own         % of our outstanding shares of common stock (or          % if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares of our common stock). As long as Danaher beneficially owns a majority of the total voting power of our outstanding shares, it will generally be able to determine the outcome of all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors. If Danaher does not complete the distribution or otherwise dispose of its shares of our common stock, it could remain our controlling stockholder for an extended period of time or indefinitely. Even if Danaher were to control less than a majority of the total voting power of our outstanding shares, it may be able to influence the outcome of such corporate actions for so long as it owns a significant portion of our common stock.
Moreover, pursuant to the separation agreement, for so long as Danaher beneficially owns a majority of the total voting power of our outstanding shares with respect to the election of directors, Danaher is entitled to designate a majority of the directors (including the chairman of the Board) and a majority of the members of any committee of the Board. For so long as Danaher beneficially owns less than a majority but at least 10% of the total voting power of our outstanding shares with respect to the election of directors, Danaher is entitled to designate a number of directors in proportion to the percentage of total voting power beneficially owned by Danaher and has the right to include at least one of its designees on each committee of the Board.
Danaher’s interests may not be the same as, or may conflict with, the interests of our other stockholders. Investors in this offering will not be able to affect the outcome of any stockholder vote while Danaher controls the majority of the total voting power of our outstanding common stock. As a result, Danaher will be able to control, directly or indirectly and subject to applicable law, all matters affecting us, including:
any determination with respect to our business direction and policies, including the appointment and removal of officers and directors;
any determinations with respect to mergers, business combinations or disposition of assets;
our financing and dividend policy;
compensation and benefit programs and other human resources policy decisions;
termination of, changes to or determinations under our agreements with Danaher relating to the separation;
changes to any other agreements that may adversely affect us;
the payment of dividends on our common stock; and
determinations with respect to our tax returns.
Because Danaher’s interests may differ from ours or from those of our other stockholders, actions that Danaher takes with respect to us, as our controlling stockholder, may not be favorable to us or our other stockholders.

The distribution of Danaher’s remaining interest in us may not occur.
Danaher has no obligation to complete the distribution. Whether Danaher proceeds with the distribution, in whole or in part, is in Danaher’s sole discretion and may be subject to a number of conditions, including the receipt of any necessary regulatory or other approvals, the existence of satisfactory market conditions and the receipt of a private letter ruling from the IRS and opinions of counsel to the effect that such distribution would be tax-free to Danaher and its stockholders. Even if Danaher elects to pursue the distribution, Danaher has the right to abandon or change the structure of the distribution if Danaher determines, in its sole discretion, that the distribution is not in the best interest of Danaher or its stockholders. Furthermore, if the distribution does not occur, and Danaher does not otherwise dispose of its shares of our common stock, the risks relating to Danaher’s control of us and the potential business conflicts of interest between Danaher and us will continue to be relevant to our stockholders. The liquidity of shares of our common stock in the market may be constrained for as long as Danaher continues to hold a significant position in our common stock. A lack of liquidity in our common stock could depress the price of our common stock.
If Danaher sells a controlling interest in our company to a third party in a private transaction, you may not realize any change-of-control premium on shares of our common stock and we may become subject to the control of a presently unknown third party.
Following the completion of this offering, Danaher will continue to own a controlling equity interest in our company. Danaher will have the ability, should it choose to do so, to sell some or all of its shares of our common stock in a privately negotiated transaction, which, if sufficient in size, could result in a change of control of our company.
The ability of Danaher to privately sell its shares of our common stock, with no requirement for a concurrent offer to be made to acquire all of the shares of our common stock that will be publicly traded hereafter, could prevent you from realizing any change-of-control premium on your shares of our common stock that may otherwise accrue to Danaher on its private sale of our common stock. Additionally, if Danaher privately sells its controlling interest in our company, we may become subject to the control of a presently unknown third party. Such third party may have conflicts of interest with those of other stockholders. In addition, if Danaher sells a controlling interest in our company to a third party, our future indebtedness may be subject to acceleration, Danaher may terminate the transitional arrangements, and our other commercial agreements and relationships could be impacted, all of which may adversely affect our ability to run our business as described herein and may have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.
The distribution or future sales by Danaher or others of our common stock, or the perception that the distribution or such sales may occur, could depress our common stock price.
Immediately following the completion of this offering, Danaher will own         % of our outstanding shares of common stock (or          % if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares of our common stock). Subject to the restrictions described in the paragraph below, future sales of these shares in the public market will be subject to the volume and other restrictions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), for so long as Danaher is deemed to be our affiliate, unless the shares to be sold are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. We are unable to predict with certainty whether or when Danaher will sell a substantial number of shares of our common stock before or following the distribution or in the event the distribution does not occur. The distribution or sale by Danaher of a substantial number of shares after this offering, or a perception that the distribution or such sales could occur, could significantly reduce the market price of our common stock. Upon completion of this offering, except as otherwise described herein, all shares of our common stock that are being offered hereby will be freely tradable without restriction, assuming they are not held by our affiliates.
We, certain of our officers and directors and Danaher have agreed with the underwriters that, without the prior written consent of. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, we and they will not, subject to certain exceptions and extensions, during the period ending 180 days after the date of this prospectus, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of our common stock or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC may, in its sole discretion and at any time without notice, release all or any portion of the shares of our common stock subject to the lock-up.
Immediately following this offering, we intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 registering under the Securities Act the shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under our incentive plan. If equity securities granted under our incentive plan are sold or it is perceived that they will be sold in the public market, the trading price of our common stock could decline substantially. These sales also could impede our ability to raise future capital.

We will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the rules of the NYSE and, as a result, will qualify for, and intend to rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. You will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.
Upon completion of this offering, Danaher will continue to control a majority of the total voting power of our outstanding shares. As a result, we will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of the NYSE. Under these rules, a listed company of which more than 50% of the total voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including:
the requirement that a majority of the Board of Directors consist of independent directors;
the requirement that our Nominating and Governance Committee be composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities or if no such committee exists, that our director nominees be selected or recommended by independent directors constituting a majority of the Board’s independent directors in a vote in which only independent directors participate;
the requirement that our Compensation Committee be composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and
the requirement for an annual performance evaluation of our Nominating and Governance and Compensation Committees.
Following this offering, we intend to utilize these exemptions. As a result, we do not expect that a majority of the directors on our Board will be independent upon completion of this offering. In addition, we do not expect that the Nominating and Governance Committee or the Compensation Committee (or, until required by the applicable requirements of the NYSE, the Audit Committee) will consist entirely of independent directors. Accordingly, you will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of the NYSE.
We expect that Danaher and its directors and officers will have limited liability to us or you for breach of fiduciary duty.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that, subject to any contractual provision to the contrary, Danaher and its directors and officers will have no obligation to refrain from engaging in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as we do or doing business with any of our clients or consumers. As such, neither Danaher nor any officer or director of Danaher will be liable to us or to our stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty by reason of any of these activities.
Our customers, prospective customers, suppliers or other companies with whom we conduct business may conclude that our financial stability as a separate, publicly-traded company is insufficient to satisfy their requirements for doing or continuing to do business with them.
Some of our customers, prospective customers, suppliers or other companies with whom we conduct business may conclude that our financial stability as a separate, publicly-traded company is insufficient to satisfy their requirements for doing or continuing to do business with them, or may require us to provide additional credit support, such as letters of credit or other financial guarantees. Any failure of parties to be satisfied with our financial stability could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Potential indemnification liabilities to Danaher pursuant to the separation agreement could materially and adversely affect our businesses, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The separation agreement, among other things, provides for indemnification obligations (for uncapped amounts) designed to make us financially responsible for substantially all liabilities that may exist relating to our business activities, whether incurred prior to or after the separation. If we are required to indemnify Danaher under the circumstances set forth in the separation agreement, we may be subject to substantial liabilities. Please refer to the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Agreements with Danaher—The Separation Agreement—Release of Claims and Indemnification.”
In connection with our separation from Danaher, Danaher will indemnify us for certain liabilities. However, there can be no assurance that the indemnity will be sufficient to insure us against the full amount of such liabilities, or that Danaher’s ability to satisfy its indemnification obligation will not be impaired in the future.
Pursuant to the separation agreement and certain other agreements with Danaher, Danaher will agree to indemnify us for certain liabilities as discussed further in “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions.” However, third parties could also seek to hold us responsible for any of the liabilities that Danaher has agreed to retain, and there can be no assurance that the indemnity from Danaher will be sufficient to protect us against the full amount of such liabilities, or that Danaher will be able

35

Table of Contents --------------

to fully satisfy its indemnification obligations. In addition, Danaher’s insurance will not necessarily be available to us for liabilities associated with occurrences of indemnified liabilities prior to the separation, and in any event Danaher’s insurers may deny coverage to us for liabilities associated with certain occurrences of indemnified liabilities prior to the separation. Moreover, even if we ultimately succeed in recovering from Danaher or such insurance providers any amounts for which we are held liable, we may be temporarily required to bear these losses. Each of these risks could negatively affect our businesses, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
If Danaher completes the distribution, and there is later a determination that the separation and/or the distribution is taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes because the facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings underlying the IRS private letter ruling and/or any tax opinion are incorrect or for any other reason, then Danaher and its stockholders could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities, and we could incur significant liabilities.
Danaher has applied to receive a private letter ruling from the IRS substantially to the effect that, among other things, the separation and the distribution will qualify as a transaction that is tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code. If pursued, completion by Danaher of the distribution may be conditioned on, among other things, the receipt of a private letter ruling from the IRS and opinions of tax counsel, to the effect that, among other things, the distribution will qualify as a transaction that is tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code. If pursued, the ruling and opinions would rely on certain facts, assumptions, representations and undertakings from Danaher and us regarding the past and future conduct of the companies’ respective businesses and other matters. If any of these facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings are incorrect or not otherwise satisfied, Danaher and its stockholders may not be able to rely on the ruling or the opinions of tax counsel and could be subject to significant tax liabilities. Notwithstanding the private letter ruling and opinions of tax counsel, the IRS could determine on audit that the separation and/or the distribution is taxable if it determines that any of these facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings are not correct or have been violated or if it disagrees with the conclusions in the opinions that are not covered by the private letter ruling, or for other reasons, including as a result of certain significant changes in the stock ownership of Danaher or us after the distribution. If the separation and/or the distribution is determined to be taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Danaher and/or its stockholders could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities, and we could also incur significant liabilities. Under the tax matters agreement between Danaher and us, we will generally be required to indemnify Danaher against taxes incurred by Danaher that arise as a result of a breach of any representation made by us, or as a result of us taking or failing to take, as the case may be, certain actions, including in each case those provided in connection with the private letter ruling from the IRS and opinion of tax counsel, that result in the distribution failing to meet the requirements of a tax-free distribution under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code. For a discussion of the tax matters agreement, please refer to the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Tax Matters Agreement.”
We may be affected by significant restrictions, including on our ability to engage in certain corporate transactions for a two-year period after the distribution in order to avoid triggering significant tax-related liabilities.
To preserve the tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes to Danaher of the separation and distribution (if pursued), under the tax matters agreement that we will enter into with Danaher, we will be restricted from taking any action that prevents the separation and distribution (if pursued) from being tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under the tax matters agreement, for the two-year period following the distribution (if pursued), as described in the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Agreements with Danaher—Tax Matters Agreement—Preservation of the Tax-Free Status of Certain Aspects of the Distribution,” we will be subject to specific restrictions on our ability to enter into acquisition, merger, liquidation, sale and stock redemption transactions with respect to our stock. These restrictions may limit our ability to pursue certain strategic transactions or other transactions that we may believe to be in the best interests of our stockholders or that might increase the value of our business. These restrictions will not limit the acquisition of other businesses by us for cash consideration. In addition, under the tax matters agreement, we may be required to indemnify Danaher against any such tax liabilities as a result of the acquisition of our stock or assets, even if we do not participate in or otherwise facilitate the acquisition. Furthermore, we will be subject to specific restrictions on discontinuing the active conduct of our trade or business, the issuance or sale of stock or other securities (including securities convertible into our stock but excluding certain compensatory arrangements), and sales of assets outside the ordinary course of business. Such restrictions may reduce our strategic and operating flexibility. For more information, please refer to the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Agreements with Danaher—Tax Matters Agreement.”
After the separation, certain of our executive officers and directors may have actual or potential conflicts of interest because of their equity interest in Danaher. Also, certain of Danaher’s current executive officers are expected to become our directors, which may create conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts of interest.
Because of their current or former positions with Danaher, certain of our executive officers and directors own equity interests in Danaher. Continuing ownership of shares of Danaher common stock and equity awards could create, or appear to create, potential conflicts of interest if we and Danaher face decisions that could have implications for both Danaher and us, after the

36

Table of Contents --------------

separation. In addition, certain of Danaher’s current executive officers are expected to become our directors, and this could create, or appear to create, potential conflicts of interest when we and Danaher encounter opportunities or face decisions that could have implications for both companies following the separation or in connection with the allocation of such directors’ time between Danaher and us.
Danaher may compete with us.
Danaher will not be restricted from competing with us. If Danaher in the future decides to engage in the type of business we conduct, it may have a competitive advantage over us, which may cause our business, financial condition and results of operations to be materially adversely affected.
We may not achieve some or all of the expected benefits of the separation, and the separation may adversely affect our businesses.
We may not be able to achieve the full strategic and financial benefits expected to result from the separation, or such benefits may be delayed or not occur at all. The separation is expected to provide the following benefits, among others:
the separation will allow investors to separately value Danaher and us based on their distinct investment identities. Our businesses differ from Danaher’s other businesses in several respects, such as the market for products and manufacturing processes. The separation will enable investors to evaluate the merits, performance and future prospects of each company’s respective businesses and to invest in each company separately based on their distinct characteristics;
the separation will allow us and Danaher to more effectively pursue our and Danaher’s distinct operating priorities and strategies and enable management of both companies to focus on unique opportunities for long-term growth and profitability. For example, while our management will be enabled to focus exclusively on our businesses, the management of Danaher will be able to grow its businesses. Our and Danaher’s separate management teams will also be able to focus on executing the companies’ differing strategic plans without diverting attention from the other businesses;
the separation will permit each company to concentrate its financial resources solely on its own operations without having to compete with each other for investment capital. This will provide each company with greater flexibility to invest capital in its businesses in a time and manner appropriate for its distinct strategy and business needs;
the separation will create an independent equity structure that will afford us direct access to the capital markets and facilitate our ability to capitalize on our unique growth opportunities; and
the separation will facilitate incentive compensation arrangements for employees more directly tied to the performance of the relevant company’s businesses, and may enhance employee hiring and retention by, among other things, improving the alignment of management and employee incentives with performance and growth objectives.
We may not achieve these and other anticipated benefits for a variety of reasons, including, among others:
as a current part of Danaher, our businesses benefit from Danaher’s size and purchasing power in procuring certain goods and services. After the separation, as a separate entity, we may be unable to obtain these goods, services and technologies at prices or on terms as favorable as those Danaher obtained prior to the separation. We may also incur costs for certain functions previously performed by Danaher, such as accounting, tax, legal, human resources and other general administrative functions that are higher than the amounts reflected in our historical financial statements, which could cause our profitability to decrease;
the actions required to separate our and Danaher’s respective businesses could disrupt our and Danaher’s operations;
certain costs and liabilities that were otherwise less significant to Danaher as a whole will be more significant for us and Danaher as separate companies, after the separation;
we (and prior to the separation, Danaher) will incur costs in connection with the transition to being a separate, publicly-traded company that may include accounting, tax, legal and other professional services costs, recruiting and relocation costs associated with hiring or reassigning our personnel, costs related to establishing a new brand identity in the marketplace and costs to separate information systems;
we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the separation for a variety of reasons, including, among others: (i) the separation will require significant amounts of management’s time and effort, which may divert management’s attention from operating and growing our businesses; (ii) following the separation, we may be more susceptible to

37

Table of Contents --------------

market fluctuations and other adverse events than if it were still a part of Danaher; and (iii) following the separation, our businesses will be less diversified than Danaher’s businesses prior to the separation; and
to preserve the tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes to Danaher of the separation and distribution, if pursued, under the tax matters agreement that we will enter into with Danaher, we will be restricted from taking any action that prevents such transactions from being tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These restrictions may limit our ability to pursue certain strategic transactions or engage in other transactions that might increase the value of our businesses.
If we fail to achieve some or all of the benefits expected to result from the separation, or if such benefits are delayed, our businesses, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.
We may have received better terms from unaffiliated third parties than the terms we will receive in our agreements with Danaher.
The agreements we will enter into with Danaher in connection with the separation, including the separation agreement, transition services agreement, employee matters agreement, tax matters agreement, intellectual property matters agreement, DBS license agreement and the registration rights agreement were prepared in the context of our separation from Danaher while we were still a wholly-owned subsidiary of Danaher. Accordingly, during the period in which the terms of those agreements were prepared, we did not have a separate or independent Board of Directors or a management team that was separate from or independent of Danaher. As a result, the terms of those agreements may not reflect terms that would have resulted from arm’s-length negotiations between unaffiliated third parties. Arm’s-length negotiations between Danaher and an unaffiliated third party in another form of transaction, such as a buyer in a sale of a business transaction, may have resulted in more favorable terms to the unaffiliated third party. For more information, please refer to the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions.”
We or Danaher may fail to perform under various transaction agreements that will be executed as part of the separation or we may fail to have necessary systems and services in place when certain of the transaction agreements expire.
The separation agreement and other agreements to be entered into in connection with the separation will determine the allocation of assets and liabilities between the companies following the separation for those respective areas and will include any necessary indemnifications related to liabilities and obligations. The transition services agreement will provide for the performance of certain services by each company for the benefit of the other for a period of time after the separation. We will rely on Danaher after the separation to satisfy its performance and payment obligations under these agreements. If Danaher is unable to satisfy its obligations under these agreements, including its indemnification obligations, we could incur operational difficulties or losses. If we do not have in place our own systems and services, or if we do not have agreements with other providers of these services once certain transaction agreements expire, we may not be able to operate our businesses effectively and our profitability may decline. We are in the process of creating our own, or engaging third parties to provide, systems and services to replace many of the systems and services that Danaher currently provides to us. However, we may not be successful in implementing these systems and services or in transitioning data from Danaher’s systems to us.
In addition, we expect this process to be complex, time-consuming and costly. We are also establishing or expanding our own tax, treasury, internal audit, investor relations, corporate governance and listed company compliance and other corporate functions. We expect to incur one-time costs to replicate, or outsource from other providers, these corporate functions to replace the corporate services that Danaher historically provided us prior to the separation. Any failure or significant downtime in our own financial, administrative or other support systems or in the Danaher financial, administrative or other support systems during the transitional period during which Danaher provides us with support could negatively impact our results of operations or prevent us from paying our suppliers and employees, executing business combinations and foreign currency transactions or performing administrative or other services on a timely basis, which could negatively affect our results of operations.
In particular, our day-to-day business operations rely on our information technology systems. A significant portion of the communications among our personnel, customers and suppliers take place on our information technology platforms. We expect the transfer of information technology systems from Danaher to us to be complex, time consuming and costly. There is also a risk of data loss in the process of transferring information technology. As a result of our reliance on information technology systems, the cost of such information technology integration and transfer and any such loss of key data could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As of the date of this prospectus, we expect to have outstanding indebtedness of approximately $1.5 billion and the ability to incur an additional $250 million of indebtedness under a revolving credit agreement we expect to enter into, and in the future we may incur additional indebtedness. This indebtedness could adversely affect our businesses and our ability to meet our obligations and pay dividends.
As of the date of this prospectus, we expect to have outstanding indebtedness of approximately $1.5 billion, and have the ability to incur an additional $250 million of indebtedness under a revolving credit agreement that we expect to enter into prior to the closing of this offering. See the section entitled “Description of Certain Indebtedness.” This debt could have important, adverse consequences to us and our investors, including:
requiring a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make interest payments;
making it more difficult to satisfy other obligations;
increasing the risk of a future credit ratings downgrade of our debt, which could increase future debt costs and limit the future availability of debt financing;
increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
reducing the cash flow available to fund capital expenditures and other corporate purposes and to grow our businesses;
limiting our ability to pay dividends;
limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our businesses and industries; and
limiting our ability to borrow additional funds as needed or take advantage of business opportunities as they arise, pay cash dividends or repurchase shares of our common stock.
The debt financing will not be available for borrowings until the date on which certain conditions are satisfied, which we expect will be satisfied prior to the completion of this offering. We anticipate that the instruments governing the debt financing will contain restrictive covenants that will limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term interest, including for example EBITDA-based leverage and interest coverage ratios. If we breach any of these restrictions and cannot obtain a waiver from the lenders on favorable terms, subject to applicable cure periods, the outstanding indebtedness (and any other indebtedness with cross-default provisions) could be declared immediately due and payable, which would adversely affect our liquidity and financial statements. In addition, any failure to obtain and maintain credit ratings from independent rating agencies would adversely affect our cost of funds and could adversely affect our liquidity and access to the capital markets. If we add new debt, the risks described above could increase. For additional information regarding the debt financing, please refer to the section entitled “Description of Certain Indebtedness.”
The risks described above will increase with the amount of indebtedness we incur, and in the future we may incur significant indebtedness in addition to the indebtedness described above. In addition, our actual cash requirements in the future may be greater than expected. Our cash flow from operations may not be sufficient to service our outstanding debt or to repay the outstanding debt as it becomes due, and we may not be able to borrow money, sell assets or otherwise raise funds on acceptable terms, or at all, to service or refinance our debt.
We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.
Our ability to make scheduled payments on or refinance our debt obligations depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which are subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond our control. We may be unable to maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal and interest on our indebtedness.
If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we could face substantial liquidity problems and could be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to dispose of material assets or operations, alter our dividend policy (if we pay dividends), seek additional debt or equity capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. We may not be able to effect any such alternative measures on commercially reasonable terms or at all and, even if successful, those alternative actions may not allow us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. The instruments that will govern our indebtedness may restrict our ability to dispose of assets and may restrict the use of proceeds from those dispositions. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions or to obtain proceeds in an amount sufficient to meet any debt service obligations when due.

39

Table of Contents --------------

In addition, we conduct our operations through our subsidiaries. Accordingly, repayment of our indebtedness will depend on the generation of cash flow by our subsidiaries, including certain international subsidiaries, and their ability to make such cash available to us, by dividend, debt repayment or otherwise. Our subsidiaries may not have any obligation to pay amounts due on our indebtedness or to make funds available for that purpose. Our subsidiaries may not be able to, or may not be permitted to, make adequate distributions to enable us to make payments in respect of our indebtedness. Each subsidiary is a distinct legal entity and, under certain circumstances, legal, tax and contractual restrictions may limit our ability to obtain cash from our subsidiaries. In the event that we do not receive distributions from our subsidiaries, we may be unable to make required principal and interest payments on our indebtedness.
Our inability to generate sufficient cash flows to satisfy our debt obligations, or to refinance our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all, may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness or pay dividends on our common stock.
Risks Related to Our Shares of Common Stock and this Offering
We cannot be certain that an active trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained after the separation, and following the separation, the stock price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.
Prior to the completion of this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. We cannot guarantee that an active trading market will develop or be sustained for our common stock after this offering. If an active trading market does not develop, you may have difficulty selling your shares of our common stock at an attractive price, or at all. Further, certain individuals have the opportunity to purchase in aggregate up to 3% of our shares of common stock offered in this offering at the initial public offering price in a directed share program. To the extent these individuals purchase shares in this offering, fewer shares may be actively traded in the public market because these individuals may be restricted from selling the shares by a 180-day lock-up restriction, which would reduce the liquidity of the market for our common stock. In addition, we cannot predict the prices at which shares of our common stock may trade after this offering.
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly due to a number of factors, some of which may be beyond our control, including:
our quarterly or annual earnings, or those of other companies in our industry;
the failure of securities analysts to cover our common stock after the separation;
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
changes in earnings estimated by securities analysts or our ability to meet those estimates;
the operating and stock price performance of other comparable companies;
changes to the regulatory and legal environment in which we operate;
overall market fluctuations and domestic and worldwide economic conditions; and
other factors described in these “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus.
Stock markets in general have experienced volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of a particular company. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
If we are unable to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our common stock may be negatively affected.
As a public company, we will be required to maintain internal controls over financial reporting and to report any material weaknesses in such internal controls. In addition, beginning with our second annual report on Form 10-K, we expect we will be required to furnish a report by management on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). Our independent registered public accounting firm will also be required to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our internal control over financial reporting is documented, designed or operating.
The process of designing, implementing, and testing the internal control over financial reporting required to comply with this obligation is time consuming, costly, and complicated. If we identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, if we are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in a timely manner or to

assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our common stock could be negatively affected, and we could become subject to investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.
The obligations associated with being a public company will require significant resources and management attention.
Currently, we are not directly subject to the reporting and other requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, we will be directly subject to such reporting and other obligations under the Exchange Act and the rules of the NYSE. As a separate public company, we are required to, among other things:
prepare and distribute periodic reports, proxy statements and other stockholder communications in compliance with the federal securities laws and rules;
have our own board of directors and committees thereof, which comply with federal securities laws and rules and applicable stock exchange requirements;
maintain an internal audit function;
institute our own financial reporting and disclosure compliance functions;
establish an investor relations function;
establish internal policies, including those relating to trading in our securities and disclosure controls and procedures; and
comply with the rules and regulations implemented by the SEC, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the NYSE.
These reporting and other obligations will place significant demands on our management and our administrative and operational resources, and we expect to face increased legal, accounting, administrative and other costs and expenses relating to these demands that we had not incurred as a segment of Danaher. Certain of these functions will be provided on a transitional basis by Danaher pursuant to a transition services agreement. See “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions.” Our investment in compliance with existing and evolving regulatory requirements will result in increased administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from sales-generating activities to compliance activities, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
The market price of shares of our common stock may be volatile, which could cause the value of your investment to decline.
Even if a trading market develops, the market price of our common stock may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations. Securities markets worldwide experience significant price and volume fluctuations. This market volatility, as well as general economic, market or political conditions, could reduce the market price of shares of our common stock regardless of our operating performance. In addition, our operating results could be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors due to a number of potential factors, including variations in our quarterly operating results or dividends, if any, to stockholders, additions or departures of key management personnel, failure to meet analysts’ earnings estimates, publication of research reports about our industry, litigation and government investigations, changes or proposed changes in laws or regulations or differing interpretations or enforcement thereof affecting our business, adverse market reaction to any indebtedness we may incur or securities we may issue in the future, changes in market valuations of similar companies or speculation in the press or investment community, announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, dispositions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments, adverse publicity about the industries we participate in or individual scandals, and in response the market price of shares of our common stock could decrease significantly. You may be unable to resell your shares of our common stock at or above the initial public offering price.
In the past few years, stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. In the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources.

Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution.
The initial public offering price per share of our common stock will be substantially higher than our pro forma net tangible book value per share immediately after this offering. As a result, you will pay a price per share of common stock that substantially exceeds the per share book value of our tangible assets after subtracting our liabilities. Assuming an offering price of $          per share of our common stock, which is the midpoint of the range on the cover page of this prospectus, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution in an amount of $          per share of common stock.
We cannot guarantee the payment of dividends on our common stock, or the timing or amount of any such dividends.
We have not yet determined whether or the extent to which we will pay any dividends on our common stock. The payment of any dividends in the future, and the timing and amount thereof, to our stockholders will fall within the discretion of our Board. The Board’s decisions regarding the payment of dividends will depend on many factors, such as our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, debt service obligations, restrictive covenants in our debt, industry practice, legal requirements and other factors that the Board deems relevant. For more information, please refer to the section entitled “Dividend Policy.” Our ability to pay dividends will depend on our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and on our access to the capital markets. We cannot guarantee that we will pay a dividend in the future or continue to pay any dividends if we commence paying dividends.
Your percentage ownership in us may be diluted in the future.
In the future, your percentage ownership in us may be diluted because of equity issuances for acquisitions, capital market transactions or otherwise, including equity awards that we will be granting to our directors, officers and employees. In addition, following the distribution (if pursued), our employees will have rights to purchase or receive shares of our common stock as a result of the conversion of their Danaher stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) into our stock options and restricted stock units. The conversion of these Danaher awards into our awards is described in further detail in the section entitled “Executive and Director Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—2018 NEO Compensation Decisions—Long-Term Incentive Awards.” As of the date of this prospectus, the exact number of shares of our common stock that will be subject to the converted equity awards is not determinable, and, therefore, it is not possible to determine the extent to which your percentage ownership in us could by diluted as a result of the conversion. It is anticipated that our Compensation Committee will grant additional equity awards to our employees and directors after this offering, from time to time, under our employee benefits plans. These additional awards will have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will authorize us to issue, without the approval of our stockholders, one or more classes or series of preferred stock having such designation, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, including preferences over our common stock respecting dividends and distributions, as the Board generally may determine. The terms of one or more classes or series of preferred stock could dilute the voting power or reduce the value of our common stock. For example, we could grant the holders of preferred stock the right to elect some number of our directors in all events or on the happening of specified events or the right to veto specified transactions. Similarly, the repurchase or redemption rights or liquidation preferences that we could assign to holders of preferred stock could affect the residual value of the common stock. Please refer to the section entitled “Description of Capital Stock.”
Further, any future issuances of common stock would also be dilutive to the percentage ownership and voting power of our common stock, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Certain provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and of Delaware law, may prevent or delay an acquisition of us, which could decrease the trading price of our common stock.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will contain, and Delaware law contains, provisions that are intended to deter coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage prospective acquirers to negotiate with the Board rather than to attempt an unsolicited takeover not approved by the Board. These provisions include, among others:
the inability of our stockholders to call a special meeting;
from and after such time as Danaher ceases to beneficially own a majority of the total voting power of our outstanding shares, the inability of our stockholders to act by written consent;
rules regarding how stockholders may present proposals or nominate directors for election at stockholder meetings;
the right of the Board to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval;

42

Table of Contents --------------

the division of the Board into three classes of directors, with each class serving a staggered three-year term, and this classified board provision could have the effect of making the replacement of incumbent directors more time consuming and difficult;
a provision that stockholders may only remove directors with cause;
the ability of our directors, and not stockholders, to fill vacancies (including those resulting from an enlargement of the Board) on the Board; and
from and after such time as Danaher ceases to beneficially own a majority of the total voting power of our outstanding shares, the requirement that the affirmative vote of stockholders holding at least two-thirds of our voting stock is required to amend our amended and restated bylaws and certain provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
In addition, because we have not chosen to be exempt from Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), this provision could also delay or prevent a change of control that you may favor. Section 203 provides that, subject to limited exceptions, persons that acquire, or are affiliated with a person that acquires, more than 15% of the outstanding voting stock of a Delaware corporation (an “interested stockholder”) shall not engage in any business combination with that corporation, including by merger, consolidation or acquisitions of additional shares, for a three-year period following the date on which the person became an interested stockholder, unless (i) prior to such time, the Board of Directors of such corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; (ii) upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of such corporation at the time the transaction commenced (excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) the voting stock owned by directors who are also officers or held in employee benefit plans in which the employees do not have a confidential right to tender or vote stock held by the plan); or (iii) on or subsequent to such time the business combination is approved by the Board of Directors of such corporation and authorized at a meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock of such corporation not owned by the interested stockholder. Danaher and its affiliates have been approved as an interested stockholder of ours and therefore are not subject to Section 203. For so long as Danaher beneficially owns a majority of our total voting power, and therefore has the ability to designate a majority of the Board, directors designated by Danaher to serve on the Board would have the ability to pre-approve other parties, including potential transferees of Danaher’s shares of our common stock, so that Section 203 would not apply to such other parties.
We believe these provisions will protect our stockholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics by requiring potential acquirers to negotiate with the Board and by providing the Board with more time to assess any acquisition proposal. These provisions are not intended to make us immune from takeovers. However, these provisions will apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders and could delay or prevent an acquisition that the Board determines is not in the best interests of us and our stockholders. These provisions may also prevent or discourage attempts to remove and replace incumbent directors.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will designate the state courts in the State of Delaware or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal court for the District of Delaware, as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, employees and stockholders.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that unless the Board of Directors otherwise determines, the state courts in the State of Delaware or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal court for the District of Delaware, will be the sole and exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of us, any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees or stockholders to us or our stockholders, any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. This exclusive forum provision may limit the ability of our stockholders to bring a claim in a judicial forum that such stockholders find favorable for disputes with us or our directors or officers, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, employees and stockholders. Nothing in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws precludes stockholders that assert claims under the applicable securities laws from bringing such claims in state or federal court, subject to applicable law. This provision would not apply to claims brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements included in this prospectus are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States federal securities laws. All statements other than historical factual information are forward-looking statements, including without limitation statements regarding: future financial performance, tax rates, tax provisions, cash flows, pension and benefit obligations and funding requirements, our liquidity position or other financial measures; our management’s plans and strategies for future operations, including statements relating to anticipated operating performance, cost reductions, restructuring activities, new product and service developments, competitive strengths or market position, acquisitions and the integration thereof, divestitures, spin-offs, split-offs or other distributions, strategic opportunities, securities offerings, stock repurchases, dividends and executive compensation; the effects of the separation or the distribution, if consummated, on our business; growth, declines and other trends in markets we sell into; new or modified laws, regulations and accounting pronouncements; future regulatory approvals and the timing thereof; outstanding claims, legal proceedings, tax audits and assessments and other contingent liabilities; future foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations in those rates; general economic and capital markets conditions; the anticipated timing of any of the foregoing; assumptions underlying any of the foregoing; and any other statements that address events or developments that we intend or believe will or may occur in the future. Terminology such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “intend,” “plan,” “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “target,” “may,” “possible,” “potential,” “forecast” and “positioned” and similar references to future periods are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements are accompanied by such words.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering will be approximately $          million, or approximately $          million if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares of our common stock based on an assumed initial public offering price of $          per share (the midpoint of the estimated public offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus), after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
We intend to pay to Danaher, as partial consideration for the Dental business Danaher is contributing to us in connection with the separation, all of the net proceeds we will receive from the sale of our common stock in this offering, including any net proceeds we receive as a result of any exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, and approximately $1.5 billion of proceeds from term debt financing that we will enter into prior to the closing of this offering, as further described in the section entitled “Description of Certain Indebtedness.” The determination of the amount of our unrestricted cash upon the completion of this offering will be made by Danaher in good faith and will be final and binding on us.
Assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $          per share (the midpoint of the estimated public offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus) would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by $           million, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Similarly, an increase (decrease) of one million shares of common stock sold in this offering by us would increase (decrease) our net proceeds by $           million, assuming the initial public offering price of $          per share (the midpoint of the estimated public offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus), remains the same and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. However, any such changes will not impact the cash retained by us following our payment to Danaher as described above.
The foregoing represents our current intentions with respect to the use and allocation of the net proceeds of this offering based upon our present plans and business conditions, but, subject to any direction from Danaher or our Board of Directors with respect to such proceeds, our management will have significant flexibility and discretion in applying the net proceeds. The occurrence of unforeseen events or changed business conditions could result in application of the net proceeds of this offering in a manner other than as described in this prospectus.

DIVIDEND POLICY
We have not yet determined the extent to which we will pay any dividends on our common stock. The payment of any dividends in the future, and the timing and amount thereof, is within the discretion of the Board. The Board’s decisions regarding the payment of dividends will depend on many factors, such as our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, debt service obligations, restrictive covenants in our future debt, industry practice, legal requirements and other factors that our Board deems relevant. Our ability to pay dividends will depend on our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and on our access to the capital markets. We cannot guarantee that we will pay a dividend in the future or continue to pay any dividends if we commence paying dividends. Investors should not purchase our common stock with the expectation of receiving cash dividends.

CAPITALIZATION
The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents and capitalization as of March 29, 2019 :
on a historical basis; and
on a pro forma basis to give effect to (i) the separation and (ii) the sale by us of          shares of common stock in this offering and the application of the proceeds from this offering as described in “Use of Proceeds,” based on an assumed initial public offering price of $          per share, the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.
The information below is not necessarily indicative of what our cash and cash equivalents and capitalization would have been had the separation been completed as of March 29, 2019 . In addition, it is not indicative of our future cash and cash equivalents and capitalization. This table should be read in conjunction with “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements,” “Selected Historical Combined Financial Data,” “Use of Proceeds,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our Combined Financial Statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus (amounts in millions, except per share data).

DILUTION
If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per share of common stock and the pro forma net tangible book deficit per share of our common stock after giving effect to the separation and this offering. Net tangible book deficit per share represents:
total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets;
reduced by our total liabilities; and
divided by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding.
Dilution per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of our common stock in this offering and the pro forma net tangible book deficit per share after giving effect to the separation and this offering. As of          , 2019, after giving effect to the separation and this offering, our pro forma net tangible book deficit was approximately $          , or $          per share based on          shares of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to this offering. This represents an immediate dilution of $          per share to investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering. The following table illustrates this dilution per share assuming an initial public offering price per share at the midpoint of the price range on the cover of this prospectus:
Assumed initial public offering price per share of common stock

Pro forma net tangible book deficit per share after giving effect to the separation

Dilution per share of common stock to new investors in this offering
 
$
A $1.00 increase/(decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $          per share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus would not impact our pro forma net tangible book deficit or our pro forma net tangible book deficit per share but it would increase/(decrease) dilution per share to new investors in this offering by $1.00.
The following table summarizes, on a pro forma as adjusted basis as of March 29, 2019 , after giving effect to this offering, the difference between our existing stockholder and new investors with respect to the number of shares of common stock purchased from us, the total consideration paid to us, or to be paid, and the average price per share paid by our existing stockholder or to be paid by new investors purchasing shares in this offering, at the assumed initial public offering price of $          per share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, before deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions:

Total consideration represents the pro forma book value of the net assets being contributed to us by Danaher in connection with the separation.
If the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares of our common stock, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock, as adjusted to give effect to this offering, would be $          per share, and the dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share to new investors purchasing shares of common stock in this offering would be $          per share.
The above discussion and tables are based on an assumed number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately following this offering. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.

SELECTED HISTORICAL COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
Set forth below are selected historical combined financial data of Danaher’s Dental segment for the periods indicated. We derived the combined statement of earnings data for the years ended December 31, 2018 , December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , and the combined balance sheet data as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , from our historical audited Combined Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this prospectus. We derived the combined statement of earnings data for the three -month periods ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 and the combined balance sheet data as of March 29, 2019 from our unaudited Combined Financial Statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. We derived the audited combined balance sheet data as of December 31, 2016 from our historical audited Combined Financial Statements, which are not included in this prospectus. We derived the unaudited combined statement of earnings data for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , and the unaudited combined balance sheet data as of March 30, 2018, December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 from the financial records of Danaher which are not included in this prospectus. We have prepared the unaudited Combined Financial Statements on the same basis as the audited Combined Financial Statements and have included all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that, in our opinion, are necessary to state fairly the financial information set forth in those statements. Our historical results may not necessarily reflect our results of operations, financial position and cash flows for future periods or what they would have been had we been a separate, publicly-traded company during the periods presented.
We have historically operated as part of Danaher and not as a separate, publicly-traded company. Our Combined Financial Statements have been derived from Danaher’s historical accounting records and are presented on a carve-out basis. All sales and costs as well as assets and liabilities directly associated with our business activity are included as a component of the Combined Financial Statements. The Combined Financial Statements also include allocations of certain general, administrative, sales and marketing expenses and cost of sales from Danaher’s corporate office and from other Danaher businesses to us and allocations of related assets, liabilities, and Danaher’s investment, as applicable. The allocations have been determined on a reasonable basis; however, the amounts are not necessarily representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the Combined Financial Statements had we been an entity that operated separately from Danaher during the periods presented. Per share data has not been presented since our business was wholly-owned by Danaher during the periods presented.
This selected historical combined financial data should be reviewed in combination with “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements,” “Capitalization,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the Combined Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in this prospectus ($ in millions, except net earnings as a percent of sales).

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements consist of unaudited pro forma combined statements of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the three -month period ended March 29, 2019 and an unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of March 29, 2019 . The unaudited pro forma combined statement of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2018 was derived from our historical audited Combined Financial Statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of earnings for the three -month period ended March 29, 2019 and the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of March 29, 2019 were derived from our unaudited Combined Financial Statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The pro forma adjustments give effect to the separation, this offering and related transactions, as described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the three -month period ended March 29, 2019 give effect to the separation and this offering as if they had occurred on January 1, 2018 , the first day of fiscal 2018 . The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet gives effect to the separation and this offering as if they had occurred on March 29, 2019 , our latest balance sheet date. References to the “Company” in this section and in the following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements and our Combined Financial Statements included in this prospectus shall mean Danaher’s Dental segment.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements include certain adjustments that are necessary to present fairly our unaudited pro forma combined statement of earnings and unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of and for the periods indicated. The pro forma adjustments give effect to events that are (i) directly attributable to the transactions described below, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma combined statements of earnings, expected to have a continuing impact on us. The pro forma adjustments are based on assumptions that management believes are reasonable given the information currently available.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements give effect to the following:
the transfer to us from Danaher and Danaher affiliates pursuant to the separation agreement and related agreements of certain assets and liabilities that were not included in the historical Combined Financial Statements; 
the borrowing of $1.5 billion of term loans and the use of proceeds therefrom;
the retention by Danaher pursuant to the separation agreement and related agreements of certain of our assets and liabilities that were included in our historical Combined Financial Statements;
the tax matters agreement with Danaher that provides which company is responsible for tax liabilities prior to the separation, and the identification of net deferred tax assets between Danaher and us based on how the underlying assets and liabilities will be reported on each company’s respective financial statements and separate income tax returns; and
the anticipated post-offering capital structure.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are subject to the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes.
In connection with the separation, we expect to enter into a transition services agreement with Danaher, pursuant to which Danaher and we will provide to each other certain specified services on a temporary basis, including various information technology, financial and administrative services. The charges for the transition services generally are expected to allow the providing company to fully recover all out-of-pocket costs and expenses it actually incurs in connection with providing the service, plus, in some cases, the allocated indirect costs of providing the services, generally without profit.
No adjustments have been included in the unaudited pro forma combined statements of earnings for additional annual operating costs. Although expenses reported in our Combined Statements of Earnings include allocations of certain Danaher costs (including corporate costs, shared services and other selling, general and administrative costs that benefit us), as a public company, we anticipate incurring additional recurring costs that could be materially different from the allocations of Danaher costs included within the historical Combined Financial Statements. These additional recurring costs are primarily for the following:
additional personnel costs, including salaries, benefits and potential bonuses and/or share-based compensation awards for staff additions to replace support provided by Danaher that is not covered by the transition services agreement; and

52

Table of Contents --------------

corporate governance costs, including board of director compensation and expenses, audit and other professional services fees, annual report and proxy statement costs, SEC filing fees, transfer agent fees, consulting and legal fees and stock exchange listing fees.
Certain factors could impact the nature and amount of these separate public company costs, including the finalization of our staffing and infrastructure needs.
We expect these costs to range between approximately $          million to $          million per year. We have not adjusted the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial statements for any of these estimated costs as they are projected amounts based on estimates and, therefore, are not factually supportable.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements exclude certain nonrecurring internal costs that we expect to incur to implement certain new systems, while certain of our legacy systems are supported by Danaher under the transition services agreement. We estimate such costs will range between approximately $          million and $          million in each of 2020 and 2021.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been presented for informational purposes only. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of our results of operations or financial condition had the separation and the related transactions been completed on the dates assumed and should not be relied upon as a representation of our future performance or financial position as a separate public company.
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with our historical Combined Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this prospectus.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For further information regarding the historical Combined Financial Statements, please refer to the audited Combined Financial Statements and the unaudited Combined Financial Statements included in this prospectus. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet as of March 29, 2019 and unaudited pro forma combined statements of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the three -month period ended March 29, 2019 include adjustments related to the following:
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet
(a) Reflects a pro forma adjustment to cash calculated as follows:
Net proceeds from term loans
 
$
Net proceeds from IPO
 
 
Less: Distribution of net proceeds from term loans and IPO to Parent
 
 
Total pro forma adjustment
 
$
(b) Reflects adjustments of $                  million ($                  million, net of tax impact) for certain liabilities related to the Envista deferred compensation plans which represent the value of Parent common stock interests held by Envista participants that will be converted into interests in Envista common stock at the time of the anticipated distribution or other disposition of Danaher’s interest in Envista.
(c) Reflects indemnification asset of $                  million associated with Parent’s retention of certain net tax liabilities of Envista that are subject to joint and several liability with Parent in accordance with the tax matters agreement. This also reflects adjustments to taxes receivable of $                  million and an increase in deferred tax assets (reflected net in other long-term liabilities) of $                  million related to differences in utilization of net operating losses and tax credit carryovers.
(d) Reflects $1.5 billion of estimated proceeds from the term loans expected to be entered into in connection with the separation, net of approximately $                   million in estimated financing costs. Proceeds from these anticipated term loans are expected to be used to fund a payment to Parent of approximately $                  billion in connection with the separation.
(e) Represents the reclassification of Parent’s net investment to additional paid-in capital at the time of the separation.
(f) Represents the adjustment to additional paid-in capital resulting from the separation and related transactions calculated as follows:
 
 
Additional paid-in capital
Issuance of shares (1)
 
$
Distribution of net proceeds from term loans and IPO to Parent (2)
 
 
Distribution of assets that will remain with Parent (3)
 
 
Reclassification of Parent’s net investment to additional paid-in capital
 
 
Total pro forma adjustment
 
$
(1) Reflects the issuance of                 shares of our common stock based on the initial public offering price of $                 per share. The proceeds are offset by underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses to be paid by us totaling $                . In addition, there are estimated offering expenses in connection with this offering of $                being paid by Parent.
(2) The total proceeds from the offering and the term loans will be paid to Parent. This represents the adjustment to reflect the distribution of an amount of cash equal to substantially all of the term loan net proceeds Envista received.
(3) Reflects the distribution of certain net deferred tax assets and excess cash that will remain with Parent upon our separation.
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Earnings

57

Table of Contents --------------

(g) Reflects estimated interest expense of $                million for the year ended December 31, 2018 and $                million for the three-month period ended March 29, 2019 related to the anticipated term loans to be entered into in connection with the offering reflecting an estimated average borrowing cost of approximately                % per annum.
(h) Reflects the tax effect of pro forma adjustments using the respective statutory tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the three-month period ended March 29, 2019. This represents our U.S. statutory tax rate during these periods, which differs from our effective tax rate and does not include the tax impact of other factors. The pro forma taxes have not been adjusted to reflect any change in our effective tax rate subsequent to the separation.
(i) We have calculated earnings per share assuming                 shares were outstanding for the full period. This represents an aggregate of                shares of common stock held by Parent (which represents the 100 shares held by Parent prior to giving effect to the reclassification of the 100 shares of common stock into                 shares of common stock that will occur prior to the closing of this offering) and an assumed issuance of                 shares of common stock in this offering. This calculation does not take into account the dilutive effect that will result from the issuance of Envista stock-based compensation awards in connection with the conversion of outstanding Parent stock-based compensation awards held by Envista employees or the grant of new Envista stock-based compensation awards. The number of dilutive shares of Envista common stock underlying Envista’s stock-based compensation awards issued in connection with the conversion of outstanding Parent stock-based compensation awards will not be determined until the distribution or other disposition of Parent’s interest in Envista after this offering.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations to “Envista” or the “Company” shall mean the businesses comprising Danaher’s Dental segment. Envista Holdings Corporation has engaged in no business activities to date and has no assets or liabilities of any kind, other than those incident to its formation.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is designed to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of Company management. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements,” “Selected Historical Combined Financial Data,” our Combined Financial Statements and the section entitled “Business” included in this prospectus. Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is divided into seven sections:
Basis of Presentation
Overview
Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Critical Accounting Estimates
New Accounting Standards

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying Combined Financial Statements present the historical financial position, results of operations, changes in Danaher’s equity and our cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for the preparation of carved-out combined financial statements.
We have historically operated as part of Danaher and not as a separate, publicly-traded company. The financial statements   have been derived from Danaher’s historical accounting records and are presented on a carve-out basis. All sales and costs as well as assets and liabilities directly associated with our business activity are included as a component of the financial statements. The financial statements also include allocations of certain general, administrative, sales and marketing expenses and cost of sales from Danaher’s corporate office and from other Danaher businesses to us and allocations of related assets, liabilities and Danaher’s investment, as applicable. The allocations have been determined on a reasonable basis; however, the amounts are not necessarily representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the financial statements had we been an entity that operated separately from Danaher during these periods. Further, the historical financial statements may not be reflective of what our results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), historical financial position, equity or cash flows might be in the future as a separate public company. See “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Agreements with Danaher.” Related-party allocations, including the method for such allocation, are discussed further in Note 17 of the Notes to the audited Combined Financial Statements and Note 11 to the unaudited Combined Financial Statements.
For example, our historical Combined Financial Statements include expense allocations for certain support functions that are provided on a centralized basis within Danaher, such as corporate costs, shared services and other selling, general and administrative costs that benefit the Company, among others. Following this offering, pursuant to agreements with Danaher, we expect that Danaher will continue to provide us with some of the services related to these functions on a transitional basis in exchange for agreed-upon fees, and we expect to incur other costs to replace the services and resources that will not be provided by Danaher. We will also incur additional costs as a separate public company. As a separate public company, our total costs related to such support functions may differ from the costs that were historically allocated to us from Danaher. These additional costs are primarily for the following:
additional personnel costs, including salaries, benefits and potential bonuses and/or share-based compensation awards for staff additions to replace support provided by Danaher that is not covered by the transition services agreement; and

59

Table of Contents --------------

corporate governance costs, including board of director compensation and expenses, audit and other professional services fees, annual report and proxy statement costs, SEC filing fees, transfer agent fees, consulting and legal fees and stock exchange listing fees.
Certain factors could impact the nature and amount of these separate public company costs, including the finalization of our staffing and infrastructure needs.
We estimate such costs to range between approximately $          million to $          million per year. Moreover, we expect to incur certain nonrecurring internal costs to implement certain new systems, while certain of our legacy systems are supported by Danaher under the transition services agreement. We estimate such costs will range between approximately $          million and $          million in each of 2020 and 2021.
Another example is that the Combined Balance Sheet may not be comparable to the opening balance sheet of the separate company, which we expect will reflect the transfer by Danaher of substantially all of the assets and liabilities of its Dental business to us. For a detailed description of our unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, see “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements.”
As part of Danaher, we are dependent upon Danaher for all of our working capital and financing requirements as Danaher uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. Our financial transactions are accounted for through our “net Parent investment” account. Accordingly, none of Danaher’s cash, cash equivalents or debt at the corporate level has been assigned to us in the financial statements.
Our business consists of two segments: Specialty Products & Technologies and Equipment & Consumables . For additional details regarding these businesses, refer to the section titled “Business” included in this prospectus.

OVERVIEW
General
We provide products that are used to diagnose, treat and prevent disease and ailments of the teeth, gums and supporting bone, as well as to improve the aesthetics of the human smile. With leading brand names, innovative technology and significant market positions, we are a leading worldwide provider of a broad range of dental implants, orthodontic appliances, general dental consumables, equipment and services, and are dedicated to driving technological innovations that help dental professionals improve clinical outcomes and enhance productivity. Our research and development, manufacturing, sales, distribution, service and administrative facilities are located in more than 30 countries across North America, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Latin America.
We are a leading manufacturer of value-added products for the dental profession, including the specialty markets of orthodontics, endodontics and implantology. During 2018 , 56% of our sales were derived from customers outside the United States. As a global provider of dental consumables, equipment and services, our operations are affected by worldwide, regional and industry-specific economic and political factors. Given the broad range of dental products, software and services provided and geographies served, management does not use any indices other than general economic trends to predict our overall outlook. Our individual businesses monitor key competitors and customers, including to the extent possible their sales, to gauge relative performance and the outlook for the future.
As a result of our geographic and product line diversity, we face a variety of opportunities and challenges, including rapid technological development in most of our served markets, the expansion and evolution of opportunities in high-growth markets, trends and costs associated with a global labor force, consolidation of our competitors and increasing regulation. We operate in a highly competitive business environment in most markets, and our long-term growth and profitability will depend in particular on our ability to expand our business in high-growth geographies and high-growth market segments, identify, consummate and integrate appropriate acquisitions, develop innovative and differentiated new products and services, expand and improve the effectiveness of our sales force, continue to reduce costs and improve operating efficiency and quality and effectively address the demands of an increasingly regulated global environment. We are making significant investments to address the rapid pace of technological change in our served markets and to globalize our manufacturing, research and development and customer-facing resources (particularly in high-growth markets and our dental implant business) in order to be responsive to our customers throughout the world and improve the efficiency of our operations.

Table of Contents --------------

Key Trends and Conditions Affecting Our Results of Operations
Industry Trends
We operate in the large and growing global dental products industry. We believe growth in the global dental industry will be driven by:
an aging population ;
the current underpenetration of dental procedures, especially in high-growth markets ;
improving access to complex procedures due to increasing technological innovation ;
an increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry ; and
growth of DSOs, which are expected to drive increasing penetration and access to care globally.
Product Development, New Product Launches and Commercial Investment
A key element of our targeted value creation strategy is to drive growth through portfolio development and product innovation. We have increased research and development spending in our Nobel Biocare business by more than 10% in 2018 compared to 2016 and increased R&D spending in our orthodontic business by more than 25% in 2018 compared to 2016. Our future growth and success depend on both our pipeline of new products and technologies, including new products and technologies that we may obtain through license or acquisition, and the expansion of the use of our existing products and technologies. We believe we are a leader in dental R&D, with a track record of product innovation, business development and commercialization. We believe our $172 million of R&D expenditures in 2018 is one of the largest within the dental industry.
Additionally, investment in our commercial sales organization, particularly within our implant business and in high-growth markets, is critical to our growth strategy. High-growth markets grew at a high-single digit compounded annual growth rate from 2015 through 2018 with sales in China growing at a compounded annual growth rate above 10% during this time period.
Foreign Exchange Rates
Significant portions of our sales and costs are exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates. During the year ended December 31, 2018 , our products were sold in more than 150 countries and 56% of our sales were denominated in foreign currencies. We seek to manage our foreign exchange risk, in part, through our operations, including managing same-currency sales in relation to same-currency costs and same-currency assets in relation to same-currency liabilities. As our operations use multiple foreign currencies, including the euro, British pound, Brazilian real, Australian dollar, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar and Chinese yuan, changes in those currencies relative to the U.S. dollar will impact our sales, cost of sales and expenses, and consequently, net earnings. Exchange rate fluctuations in high-growth markets may also directly affect our customers’ ability to buy our products in these geographic markets. In the three-month period ended March 29, 2019 , our period-over-period sales growth was unfavorably impacted by 4.5% from changes in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar. In 2018 , our year-over-year sales growth benefited by 0.5% from changes in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar.
General Economic Conditions
In addition to industry-specific factors, we, like other businesses, face challenges related to global economic conditions. Dental costs are largely out-of-pocket for the consumer and thus utilization rates can vary significantly depending on economic growth. While many of our products are considered necessary by patients regardless of the economic environment, certain products and services that support discretionary dental procedures may be more susceptible to changes in economic conditions.
Manufacturing and Supply
In order to sell our products, we must be able to reliably produce and ship our products in sufficient quantities. Many of our products involve complex manufacturing processes and are produced at one or a limited number of manufacturing sites.
Minor deviations in our manufacturing or logistical processes, unpredictability of a product's regulatory or commercial success or failure, the lead time necessary to construct highly technical and complex manufacturing sites and shifting customer demand increase the potential for capacity imbalances. For a discussion of risks relating to our manufacturing process, refer to “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Businesses.”

Components of Sales and Costs and Expenses
Sales
Our sales are primarily derived from the sale of dental consumables, equipment and services to third-party distributors and end-users. For additional information regarding our products, including descriptions of our products, refer to “Business—Our Business Segments.”
Costs and Expenses and Other
Cost of sales  consists primarily of cost of materials, facilities and other infrastructure used to manufacture our products and shipping and handling costs attributable to delivering our products to our customers. Also included in cost of sales are productivity improvement and restructuring expenses related to our manufacturing operations.
Selling, general and administrative  (“SG&A”) expenses consist of, among other things, the costs of selling, marketing, promotion, advertising and administration (including business technology, facilities, legal, finance, human resources, business development and procurement) and amortization expense for intangible assets that have been acquired through business combinations. Also included in SG&A are productivity improvement and restructuring expenses related to our administrative operations.
R&D expenses consist of project costs specific to new product R&D and product lifecycle management, overhead costs associated with R&D operations, regulatory costs, product registrations and investments that support local market clinical trials for approved indications. We manage overall R&D based on our strategic opportunities and do not disaggregate our R&D expenses by the nature of the expense or by product as we do not use or maintain such information in managing our business.
Nonoperating income (expense), net  consists of the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit costs (which include interest costs, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service cost or credits and actuarial gains and losses).
Business Performance
During the three-month period ended March 29, 2019 , our combined sales decreased 2.0% as compared to the comparable period of 2018 . While differences exist among our businesses, on an overall basis, demand for our products and services increased during the three-month period ended March 29, 2019 compared to the comparable period of 2018 . This demand, together with our continued investments in sales growth initiatives and the other business-specific factors discussed below, contributed to period-over-period core sales growth of 2.5% (for the definition of “core sales” or “core revenue” refer to “—Results of Operations” below). The impact of foreign currency exchange rates reduced sales in the three-month period ended March 29, 2019 by 4.5% compared to the comparable period of 2018 . Geographically, both high-growth and developed markets contributed to core sales growth during the three-month period ended March 29, 2019 . Core sales in high-growth markets increased at a high-single digit rate during the three-month period ended March 29, 2019 as compared to the comparable period of 2018 , led primarily by continued strength in China. High-growth markets represented approximately 24% of our total sales in the three-month period ended March 29, 2019 . Core sales in developed markets increased slightly during the three-month period ended March 29, 2019 , led primarily by growth in North America. For additional information regarding our sales by geographical region during the three -month periods ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 , refer to Note 2 to the unaudited Combined Financial Statements in this prospectus.
Combined sales for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased 1.0% as compared to 2017 . While differences exist among our businesses, on an overall basis, demand for our products and services increased in 2018 as compared to 2017 as demand for specialty products more than offset weaker demand for equipment and traditional consumables resulting in year-over-year core sales growth of 0.5% . The impact of foreign currency exchange rates increased 2018 sales by approximately 0.5% . Geographically, year-over-year core sales in high-growth markets increased at a high-single digit rate in 2018 as compared to 2017 , led by growth in China and Russia, offset by a low-single digit decline in developed markets, primarily North America and Western Europe. High-growth markets represented approximately 23% of our total sales in  2018 . For additional information regarding our sales by geographical region during the year ended December 31, 2018 , please refer to Notes 3 and  16  to the audited Combined Financial Statements in this prospectus.
We recorded a net decrease to beginning Parent’s equity of $8 million as of January 1, 2018 due to the cumulative impact of adopting Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . The impact to beginning Parent’s equity was primarily driven by the deferral of revenue for unfulfilled performance obligations. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our Combined Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 and, as a result, comparisons of sales and operating profit performance between periods are not affected by the adoption of this ASU. Refer to Note 3 to the audited Combined Financial Statements in this prospectus.

Acquisitions
Our growth strategy contemplates future acquisitions. Our operations and results can be affected by the rate and extent to which appropriate acquisition opportunities are available, acquired businesses are effectively integrated and anticipated synergies or cost savings are achieved.
There were no material business acquisitions during the three-month period ended March 29, 2019 or the year ended December 31, 2018 . In the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 , we completed two minor acquisitions. We acquired 51% of a business for no net cash consideration in the year-ended December 31, 2017 and one business in the year-ended December 31, 2016 for total consideration of $5 million .
In 2017 , we acquired the remaining noncontrolling interest and settled other related liabilities associated with one of our prior business combinations in our Specialty Products & Technologies segment for consideration of  $89 million .
Currency Exchange Rates
On a year-over-year basis, currency exchange rates negatively impacted reported sales by approximately  4.5%  for the three-month period ended  March 29, 2019 compared to the comparable period of  2018 , primarily due to the strength of the U.S. dollar against most major currencies in the three-month period ended March 29, 2019 . Any future strengthening of the U.S. dollar against major currencies would adversely impact our sales and results of operations for the remainder of the year, and any weakening of the U.S. dollar against major currencies would positively impact our sales and results of operations for the remainder of the year.
Currency translation positively  impacted reported sales by approximately 0.5% on a year-over-year basis in 2018 primarily due to the U.S. dollar weakening against other major currencies in the first half of 2018 . The U.S. dollar strengthened in the second half of 2018 which partially offset the benefit recorded early in 2018 . On a year-over-year basis, currency exchange rates positively impacted 2017 reported sales by approximately 1.0% as the U.S. dollar weakened against the euro, partially offset by the effect of the U.S. dollar strengthening against the Japanese yen and Chinese renminbi.
U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
On December 22, 2017, the TCJA was enacted, which substantially changed the U.S. tax system, including lowering the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% (beginning in 2018). As a result of the TCJA, we recognized a provisional tax liability of approximately $36 million in 2017 for the Transition Tax. We also remeasured U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the income tax rates at which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to reverse in the future (generally 21%), resulting in an income tax benefit of approximately $73 million . In 2018 , we finalized the provisional amounts recorded in 2017. The net tax effect to adjust the provisional amounts was not material to our financial statements. For further discussion of the TCJA, refer to “—Income Taxes.”
UK’s referendum decision to exit the EU (“Brexit”)
In a referendum on June 23, 2016, voters approved for the UK to exit the EU. It is presently unclear how long it will take to negotiate a withdrawal agreement and the nature of its relationship with the EU is currently being decided. On April 11, 2019, the EU granted the UK an extension to October 31, 2019. The purpose of this extension is to allow for the ratification of the withdrawal agreement by the UK House of Commons. As a condition of the extension, the UK must take part in EU elections on May 23, 2019. If it does not, the UK must leave the EU on June 1, 2019 without any formal withdrawal arrangements. With the terms of the UK’s withdrawal and the nature of its future relationship with the EU still being decided, we continue to monitor the status of the negotiations and plan for the impact. While we do not manufacture products in the UK and less than 2% of our 2018 sales were derived from customers located in the UK, to mitigate the potential impact of Brexit on the import of goods to the UK, we have increased our level of inventory within the UK. The ultimate impact of Brexit on our financial results is uncertain. For additional information, refer to the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus.
Public company expenses
As a result of this offering, we will become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will have additional procedures and practices to establish as a separate public company. As a result, we will incur additional costs, including corporate governance, internal audit, investor relations, stock administration and regulatory compliance costs.

Non-GAAP Measures
References to the non-GAAP measure of core sales (also referred to as core revenues or sales/revenues from existing businesses) refer to sales calculated according to GAAP, but excluding:
sales from acquired businesses; and
the impact of currency translation.
References to sales or operating profit attributable to acquisitions or acquired businesses refer to sales or operating profit, as applicable, from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition less the amount of sales and operating profit, as applicable, attributable to divested product lines not considered discontinued operations. The portion of sales attributable to currency translation is calculated as the difference between:
the period-to-period change in sales (excluding sales from acquired businesses); and
the period-to-period change in sales (excluding sales from acquired businesses) after applying current period foreign exchange rates to the prior year period.
For a discussion of the reasons why management believes the measure of core sales is useful to investors, the ways in which management uses core sales and other information relating to this non-GAAP measure, please refer to “Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Measures” in the “Summary—Summary Historical and Pro Forma Combined Financial Data” section of this prospectus.

Price in the segment negatively impacted sales growth by  1.0%  on a year-over-year basis in the three -month period ended March 29, 2019 , and is reflected as a component of core sales growth.
Core sales growth for the segment was led by the high-growth markets, primarily China, and North America, for the three -month period ended March 29, 2019 . Core sales growth for implant systems was driven by demand for premium implant systems and equipment. Geographically, demand for implant systems increased primarily in China and North America. Increased demand for orthodontic products during the three-month period was partially due to recent product launches. Core sales for orthodontic products increased across all major geographies, with particular strength in China during the three -month period.

Operating profit margins decreased  90  basis points during the  three -month period ended March 29, 2019  as compared to the comparable period of  2018 . The following factors unfavorably impacted year-over-year operating profit margin comparisons:
Unfavorable product mix, lower overall sales price and incremental year-over-year costs associated with various new product development, sales, service and marketing growth investments in the three-month period ended March 29, 2019 , partially offset by higher 2019 core sales, incremental year-over-year cost savings associated with continuing productivity improvement initiatives taken in 2018 and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates - 90 basis points
2018 Compared to 2017
Price in the segment negatively impacted sales growth by  0.5%  on a year-over-year basis during 2018 as compared to 2017 , and is reflected as a component of core sales growth.
Geographically, year-over-year core sales growth in 2018 was led by the high-growth markets, primarily China, and North America. Core sales for implant systems increased, driven by demand in North America and the high-growth markets. Core sales growth for orthodontic products was led by China and Russia partially offset by weaker demand in North America.
Operating profit margins declined 120  basis points during  2018  as compared to  2017 . The following factors impacted year-over-year operating profit margin comparisons:
2018 vs 2017  operating profit margin comparisons were favorably impacted by :
Incremental year-over-year costs related to productivity improvement initiatives taken in 2017 - 20 basis points
2018 vs 2017  operating profit margin comparisons were unfavorably impacted by :
Incremental year-over-year costs associated with sales and marketing growth investments, unfavorable product mix and lower overall pricing, partially offset by higher 2018 sales from existing businesses, cost savings associated with productivity improvement initiatives taken in 2018 and  2017 and year-over-year changes in currency exchange rates - 140 basis points
In 2018 , we determined that certain trade names in the segment were finite-lived and we began amortizing these trade names as of January 1, 2018. This determination resulted in an increase in amortization expense as a percentage of sales during 2018 as compared to 2017 .
2017 Compared to 2016
Price increases in the segment did not have a significant impact on sales growth during  2017  as compared with  2016 .
Year-over-year core sales growth in 2017 was driven by increased demand in high-growth markets, primarily China and Russia, and North America. Demand for implant solutions drove core sales growth in 2017 as compared to 2016 , as demand increased in North America and in high-growth markets. Core sales growth for orthodontic products was driven by increased demand in China partially offset by weaker demand in North America.
Operating profit margins increased 70  basis points during  2017  as compared to  2016 . The following factors impacted year-over-year operating profit margin comparisons:
2017  vs.  2016  operating profit margin comparisons were favorably impacted by :
Higher 2017 sales from existing businesses and incremental year-over-year cost savings associated with the continuing productivity improvement initiatives taken in  2017  and  2016 , net of the effect of year-over-year costs associated with various new product development and sales and marketing growth investments and year-over-year changes in foreign currency exchange rates - 160 basis points
2017  vs.  2016  operating profit margin comparisons were unfavorably impacted by :
Incremental year-over-year costs related to productivity improvement initiatives in  2017  - 70 basis points
The incremental net dilutive effect in  2017  of acquired businesses - 20 basis points

Three-Month Period Ended March 29, 2019 Compared to the Three-Month Period Ended March 30, 2018
Price in the segment negatively impacted sales growth by  0.5%  on a year-over-year basis in the three -month period ended March 29, 2019 , and is reflected as a component of core sales growth.
Core sales for the segment grew in the three -month period ended March 29, 2019 led by demand in the high-growth markets. Segment core sales also grew in North America as the business experienced stabilization after the realignment of certain distribution relationships disrupted performance in the comparable period of 2018. Equipment core sales increased in China and North America led by demand for imaging equipment. Core sales of traditional consumables were essentially flat as increased demand in China was offset by softness in North America and Europe.
Operating profit margins increased  110  basis points during the  three -month period ended March 29, 2019  as compared to the comparable period of  2018 . The following factors favorably impacted year-over-year operating profit margin comparisons:
Higher 2019 core sales of equipment and traditional consumables, a decrease in productivity improvement and restructuring related charges in 2019 compared to 2018 , and cost savings associated with productivity initiatives taken in  2018 , net of unfavorable product mix, incremental year-over-year costs associated with sales and marketing growth investments and new product development initiatives in 2019 and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates - 110  basis points
2018 Compared to 2017
Price in the segment negatively impacted sales growth by 0.5%  on a year-over-year basis during  2018  as compared with 2017 and is reflected as a component of core sales growth.
Year-over-year core sales declined as lower demand in North America and Western Europe more than offset increased demand in high-growth markets. Core sales of equipment declined in 2018 primarily due to declines in North America due to the realignment of distributors and manufacturers in the dental industry. Demand for traditional consumable product lines in North

America and Western Europe declined year-over-year reflecting inventory destocking by several distribution partners. We have begun to see stability in the North America end-markets for equipment and traditional consumables.
Operating profit margins  declined   200  basis points during  2018  as compared to  2017 . The following factors impacted year-over-year operating profit margin comparisons:
2018 vs 2017  operating profit margin comparisons were favorably impacted by :
Trade name impairments and the cost of related productivity improvement initiatives in  2017  - 65 basis points
2018 vs 2017  operating profit margin comparisons were unfavorably impacted by :
Lower 2018 sales of equipment and traditional consumables, lower overall pricing, incremental year-over-year costs associated with sales and marketing growth investments and the impact of year-over-year changes in foreign currency exchange rates, net of cost savings associated with productivity initiatives taken in  2018 and 2017  - 255 basis points
The incremental net dilutive effect in  2018  of acquired businesses - 10 basis points
2017 Compared to 2016
Price in the segment negatively impacted sales growth by 0.5%  on a year-over-year basis during  2017  as compared with 2016 and is reflected as a component of core sales growth.
Geographically, year-over-year core sales declined as lower demand in North America and Western Europe more than offset strong demand in high-growth markets. Equipment core sales were essentially flat during 2017 , as increased demand in high-growth markets was offset by declines in the United States and Western Europe, particularly later in the year for North America due to the realignment of dental equipment distributors and manufacturers. Demand for traditional consumable product lines in North America and Western Europe declined year-over-year reflecting inventory destocking by several distribution partners.
Operating profit margins  declined   290  basis points during  2017  as compared to  2016 . The following factors unfavorably impacted year-over-year operating profit margin comparisons:
Lower 2017 core sales from existing businesses, incremental year-over-year costs associated with various new product development, sales and marketing growth investments, the effect of year-over-year changes in currency exchange rates and unfavorable product mix due to lower sales of traditional consumables in  2017 , net of incremental year-over-year cost savings associated with the continuing productivity improvement initiatives taken in 2017 and 2016 - 285 basis points

Three-Month Period Ended March 29, 2019 Compared to the Three-Month Period Ended March 30, 2018
Cost of sales was essentially flat during the three -month period ended March 29, 2019 as compared to the comparable period in 2018 as lower spending on productivity initiatives in 2019 and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates was partially offset by higher core sales.
The year-over-year decrease in gross profit margins during the three -month period ended March 29, 2019 as compared to the comparable period in 2018 was due primarily to unfavorable product mix and lower overall pricing, partially offset by higher core sales, the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and incremental year-over-year cost savings associated with restructuring activities and continued productivity improvement actions taken in 2018 .

2018 Compared to 2017
Cost of sales increased $53.0 million , or 4.5% , during 2018 as compared with 2017 due primarily to the impact of higher sales volumes of specialty products, product mix and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates partially offset by lower sales of equipment and traditional consumables and incremental year-over-year cost savings associated with the restructuring and continued productivity improvement actions taken in 2018 and 2017 .
Gross profit margins decreased 140 basis points on a year-over-year basis during 2018 as compared to 2017 , due primarily to unfavorable product mix, lower overall pricing and the impact of foreign currency exchanges rates, partially offset by incremental year-over-year cost savings associated with restructuring activities and continued productivity improvement actions taken in 2018 and 2017 .
2017 Compared to 2016
Cost of sales increased $5.4 million , or 0.5% , during 2017 as compared with 2016 as increased costs due to higher sales of equipment and specialty products and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates was mostly offset by decreased costs due to lower sales of traditional consumables, a decrease in productivity improvement and restructuring related charges and incremental year-over-year cost savings associated with the continued productivity improvement actions taken in 2017 and 2016 .
Gross profit margins increased 20 basis points on a year-over-year basis during 2017 as compared to 2016 , due primarily to higher sales of specialty products and the incremental year-over-year cost savings associated with restructuring actions and continued productivity improvements taken in 2017 and 2016 , partially offset by unfavorable product mix in 2017 and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates.

Three-Month Period Ended March 29, 2019 Compared to the Three-Month Period Ended March 30, 2018
The year-over-year decrease  in SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales for the three -month period ended March 29, 2019  as compared to the comparable period in  2018 was primarily due to incremental year-over-year savings associated with the restructuring and continued productivity improvement actions taken in 2018 partially offset by continued investments in sales and marketing growth initiatives and lower sales in 2019.
Year-over-year, R&D expenses (consisting principally of internal and contract engineering personnel costs) as a percentage of sales increased for the three -month period ended March 29, 2019  as compared to the comparable period in  2018 due primarily to year-over-year increases in spending in our new product development initiatives within the Equipment & Consumables segment, continued spending on new product development initiatives within our Specialty Products & Technologies segment and lower sales in 2019.
2018 Compared to 2017
SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales increased 200 basis points on a year-over-year basis for 2018 compared to 2017 . The increase was primarily due to continued investments in sales and marketing growth initiatives and a provision for legal matters of $36 million, partially offset by incremental year-over-year savings associated with the restructuring and continued productivity improvement actions taken in 2018 and 2017 and lower costs associated with 2018 restructuring actions compared to 2017 restructuring actions.
R&D expenses as a percentage of sales decreased 10 basis points on a year-over-year basis in 2018 as compared to 2017 primarily as a result of increased sales in 2018 . Total R&D spending was essentially flat on a year-over-year basis in 2018 as compared to 2017 .

2017 Compared to 2016
SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales decreased 10 basis points on a year-over-year basis for 2017 compared to 2016 . The year-over-year decrease reflects year-over-year cost savings associated with 2017 and 2016 restructuring actions and continuing productivity improvement initiatives, partially offset by increased costs associated with restructuring and continuing productivity improvements taken in 2017 and continued investments in sales and marketing growth initiatives.
R&D expenses as a percentage of sales increased 100 basis points on a year-over-year basis in 2017 as compared to 2016 due primarily to increases in spending in the new product development initiatives in both the Specialty Products & Technologies and Equipment & Consumables segments.

NONOPERATING INCOME (EXPENSE), NET
As described in Note 10 to the audited Combined Financial Statements, we adopted ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost on January 1, 2017. The ASU requires us to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net periodic benefit costs and requires us to present the other components of net periodic benefit cost in nonoperating income (expense), net. The ASU requires application on a retrospective basis. The other components of net periodic benefit costs included in nonoperating income (expense), net for the three-month periods ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 were $0.1 million and $0.2 million , respectively. The other components of net periodic benefit costs included in nonoperating income (expense), net for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 were $ 2.7 million , $ 0.1 million , and $(1.1) million , respectively.

INCOME TAXES
General
Income tax expense and deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect management’s assessment of future taxes expected to be paid on items reflected in our Combined Financial Statements. We record the tax effect of discrete items and items that are reported net of their tax effects in the period in which they occur.
Our effective tax rate can be affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countries with different statutory tax rates (including as a result of business acquisitions and dispositions), changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, accruals related to contingent tax liabilities and period-to-period changes in such accruals, the results of audits and examinations of previously filed tax returns (as discussed below), the expiration of statutes of limitations, the implementation of tax planning strategies, tax rulings, court decisions, settlements with tax authorities and changes in tax laws and regulations, including the TCJA and legislative policy changes that may result from the OECD’s initiative on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting. For a description of the tax treatment of earnings that are planned to be reinvested indefinitely outside the United States, refer to “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.
The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, which often result in proposed assessments. Management performs a comprehensive review of our global tax positions on a quarterly basis. Based on these reviews, the results of discussions and resolutions of matters with certain tax authorities, tax rulings and court decisions and the expiration of statutes of limitations, reserves for contingent tax liabilities are accrued or adjusted as necessary. For a discussion of risks related to these and other tax matters, refer to “Risk Factors.”
On December 22, 2017, the TCJA was enacted, substantially changing the U.S. tax system and affecting us in a number of ways. Notably, the TCJA:
established a flat corporate income tax rate of   21.0%   on U.S. earnings;
imposed a one-time tax on unremitted cumulative non-U.S. earnings of foreign subsidiaries , which we refer to in this prospectus as the “Transition Tax;”
imposed a new minimum tax on certain non-U.S. earnings, irrespective of the territorial system of taxation, and generally allows for the repatriation of future earnings of foreign subsidiaries without incurring additional U.S. taxes by transitioning to a territorial system of taxation;
subjected certain payments made by U.S. companies to related foreign companies to certain minimum taxes (Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax);

71

Table of Contents --------------

eliminated certain prior tax incentives for manufacturing in the United States and created an incentive for U.S. companies to sell, lease or license goods and services abroad by allowing for a reduction in taxes owed on earnings related to such sales;
allowed the cost of investments in certain depreciable assets acquired and placed in service after September 27, 2017 to be immediately expensed; and
reduced deductions with respect to certain compensation paid to specified executive officers.
As U.S. GAAP accounting for income taxes requires the effect of a change in tax laws or rates to be recognized in income from continuing operations for the period that includes the enactment date, we recognized an estimate of the impact of the TCJA in the year ended December 31, 2017 under the separate return method. As a result of the TCJA, we recognized a provisional tax liability of   $36 million  in 2017 for the Transition Tax. We also remeasured U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the income tax rates at which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to reverse in the future (generally 21%), resulting in an income tax benefit of   $73 million  in 2017 .
Due to the complexities involved in accounting for the enactment of the TCJA , SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB No. 118”) allowed us to record provisional amounts in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2017 . Where reasonable estimates could be made, the provisional accounting was based on such estimates. When no reasonable estimate could be made, SAB No. 118 required the accounting to be based on the tax law in effect before the TCJA. We were required to complete our tax accounting for the TCJA when we had obtained, prepared and analyzed the information to complete the income tax accounting but no later than December 22, 2018.
Accordingly, during 2018 , we completed our accounting for the tax effects of the enactment of the TCJA based on our interpretation of the new tax regulations and related guidance issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service. The net tax effect to adjust the provisional amount was not material to our financial statements. Due to the complexity and recent issuance of these tax regulations, management’s interpretations of the impact of these rules could be subject to challenge by the taxing authorities.

The TCJA imposes tax on U.S. stockholders for global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. We are required to make an accounting policy election of either: (1) treating taxes due on future amounts included in U.S. taxable income related to GILTI as a current period tax expense when incurred (the “period cost method”); or (2) factoring such amounts into our measurement of our deferred tax expense (the “deferred method”). As of December 31, 2017 , we were still analyzing our global income and did not record a GILTI-related deferred tax amount. In 2018 , we elected the period cost method for our accounting for GILTI.

Our effective tax rate for each of the three-month periods ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 , and full year 2018 , 2017 and 2016 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rates of 21.0% for 2019 and 2018 and 35.0% for 2017 and 2016 , due principally to our earnings outside the United States that are indefinitely reinvested and taxed at rates different than the U.S. federal statutory rate. In addition:
The effective tax rate of 15.8% for the three-month period ended March 29, 2019  differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% due principally to the impact of net discrete tax benefits related primarily to the excess tax benefits associated with the exercise of employee stock options and vesting of RSUs, as well as the release of reserves upon the expiration of statutes of limitation, partially offset by changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions. These discrete tax benefits decreased the reported rate by 6.6% . These benefits were partially offset by the impact of earnings outside the United States which generally are taxed at rates higher than the U.S. federal rate.
The effective tax rate of 25.0% for the three-month period ended March 30, 2018  was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% due principally to the impact of our earnings outside the United States which overall are taxed at rates higher than the U.S. federal rate. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 30, 2018 also includes increases in net reserves from audit settlements, partially offset by excess tax benefits associated with the

Table of Contents --------------

exercise of employee stock options and vesting of RSUs, as well as the release of reserves upon the expiration of statutes of limitation. The net tax expense from these discrete items increased the reported rate by 2.0%.
The effective tax rate of  23.4%  in  2018  includes 60   basis points of net discrete tax benefits primarily related to the excess tax benefit associated with the exercise of employee stock options and vesting of RSUs, as well as the release of reserves upon the expiration of statutes of limitation, partially offset by increases in net reserves from audit settlements.
The effective tax rate of  22.1%  in  2017  includes  900   basis points of net discrete tax benefits primarily related to the revaluation of net U.S. deferred tax liabilities from 35.0% to 21.0% due to the TCJA as well as the excess tax benefit related to the exercise of employee stock options and vesting of RSUs, partially offset by income tax expense related to the Transition Tax on foreign earnings due to the TCJA as well as a valuation allowance on losses attributable to certain foreign jurisdictions.
The effective tax rate of  32.3%  in  2016  includes  60   basis points of net discrete tax benefits primarily from the release of valuation allowances on certain foreign net operating losses, partially offset by reduction of net operating loss benefits due to an audit settlement.
We conduct business globally, and Parent files numerous consolidated and separate income tax returns in the U.S. federal, state and foreign jurisdictions. The non-U.S. countries in which we have a material presence include Canada, China, Finland, Germany and Switzerland. We believe that a change in the statutory tax rate of any individual foreign country would not have a material effect on our Combined Financial Statements given the geographic dispersion of our taxable income.
Parent and its subsidiaries (including our businesses) are routinely examined by various domestic and international taxing authorities. The IRS has completed substantially all of the examinations of certain of Parent’s federal income tax returns through 2011 and is currently examining certain of Parent’s federal income tax returns for 2012 through 2015. In addition, Parent has subsidiaries (including our businesses) in Germany, India, Japan, Sweden and Switzerland and in states and other local jurisdictions that are currently under audit for years ranging from 2007 through 2016.
As part of Parent, the amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, which often result in proposed assessments. Management performs a comprehensive review of our global tax positions on a quarterly basis. Based on these reviews, the results of discussions and resolutions of matters with certain tax authorities, tax rulings and court decisions and the expiration of statutes of limitations, reserves for contingent tax liabilities are accrued or adjusted as necessary. For a discussion of risks related to these and other tax matters, refer to “Risk Factors.”

Quarterly Trends
Sales and Core Sales Growth
As a result of our geographic diversity, our quarterly sales and the year-over-year sales comparison are significantly impacted by foreign currency exchange rates. Based on historical experience, we generally have more sales in the second half of the calendar year than in the first half of the calendar year, with the first quarter typically having the lowest sales of the year. Based on historical customer buying patterns, we generally have more sales in the fourth quarter than in any other quarter of the year, driven in particular by our customer’s capital spending for products in our Equipment & Consumables segment.
In the first three quarters of 2018, increases in demand in our Specialty Products & Technologies segment was generally offset by a decline in demand in our Equipment & Consumables segment. On a year-over-year basis, demand for our products and services in our Specialty Products & Technologies segment increased in each of the last five quarters. On a year-over-year basis, demand for our products and services in our Equipment & Consumables segment generally declined in the first three quarters of 2018 due in part from the realignment of certain distribution relationships in North America and distributor inventory destocking in developed markets. In the three-month periods ended December 31, 2018 and March 29, 2019, we experienced stabilization after the realignment of the distribution relationships and our core sales in the Equipment & Consumables segment increased. There are no assurances that these historical quarterly trends will continue in the future.
Operating Profit
As a result of the seasonality in our sales, profitability in our Equipment & Consumables segment also tends to be lower in the first quarter and higher in the second half of the year. In addition to the impact of seasonality and sales volumes, our quarterly operating profit for each of the five quarters presented is impacted by variability each quarter in productivity improvement and restructuring related charges and other items. Our operating profit for the three-month period ended December 31, 2018 of $68 million also includes costs and the estimated liability related to a legal contingency of $36 million. There are no assurances that these historical quarterly trends will continue in the future.
For further commentary of the three-month period ended March 29, 2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2018, please refer to the “Results of Operations” section of this prospectus.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Three-Month Period Ended March 29, 2019 Compared to the Three-Month Period Ended March 30, 2018
Comprehensive income decreased $104 million in the three -month period ended March 29, 2019 as compared to the comparable period of 2018 primarily due to losses from foreign currency translation adjustments in the three -month period ended March 29, 2019 as compared to gains from foreign currency translation adjustments recognized in the comparable period of 2018 . Net earnings also increase d $1 million in the three -month period ended March 29, 2019 as compared to the comparable period of 2018 .
2018 Compared to 2017
Comprehensive income  decreased   $397 million  in  2018  as compared to  2017 , primarily due to a loss  of  $85 million from foreign currency translation adjustments in 2018 as compared to a translation  gain  of  $252 million  in  2017 as well as lower net earnings in 2018 . We also recorded a gain on pension plan adjustments of $7 million for 2018 compared to a loss of $3 million for 2017 .
2017 Compared to 2016
Comprehensive income  increased   $317 million  in  2017  as compared to  2016 , primarily due to increased net earnings and an increased gain from foreign currency translation adjustments compared to  2016 . We recorded a foreign currency translation  gain  of  $252 million  for  2017  compared to a translation  loss  of  $37 million  for  2016 . We also recorded a loss on pension plan adjustments of $3 million  for  2017  compared to a  loss  of  $2 million  for  2016 .

INFLATION
The effect of inflation on our sales and net earnings was not significant in the three -month periods ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 or in any of the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 or 2016 .

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have historically participated in Danaher’s centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. Our financial transactions are accounted for through our net Parent investment account. Accordingly, none of Danaher’s cash, cash equivalents or debt at the corporate level has been assigned to us in our Combined Financial Statements. Management assesses our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating and investing activities. We continue to generate substantial cash from operating activities and believe that our operating cash flow and other sources of liquidity will be sufficient following the separation to allow us to manage our capital structure on a short-term and long-term basis and continue investing in existing businesses and consummating strategic acquisitions.

Three-Month Period Ended March 29, 2019 Compared to the Three-Month Period Ended March 30, 2018
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased during the three-month period ended  March 29, 2019  as compared to the comparable period of  2018 . A slight increase in net earnings was more than offset by higher levels of cash used for trade accounts receivables, inventories and accounts payable on a year-over-year basis. Net cash used in investing activities increased $2.3 million during the three-month period ended  March 29, 2019  as compared to the comparable period of  2018 , primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures in 2019 . Net cash provided by financing activities increased $ 39.2 million during the three-month period ended  March 29, 2019  as compared to the comparable period of  2018 as we received cash from Danaher in 2019 to fund operations as compared to providing cash to Danaher in 2018 .
2018 Compared to 2017
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $41.0 million during 2018 as compared to 2017 . A reduction in net earnings was more than offset by a reduction in cash used for trade accounts receivables, inventories and accounts payable compared with the prior year. The aggregate of prepaid expenses and other assets, deferred taxes and accrued expenses also provided a higher source of cash in 2018 compared to 2017 . The timing of various employer related liabilities, customer funding and accrued expenses drove the majority of this change. Net cash used in investing activities increased $ 20.6 million during 2018 as compared to 2017 , due primarily to an increase in capital expenditures during 2018 to increase production capacity in the Specialty Products & Technologies segment. Net cash used in financing activities increased $ 20.4 million during 2018 as compared to 2017 as we returned more cash to Danaher in 2018 as compared to 2017 partially offset by cash paid for the purchase of a noncontrolling interest in 2017 .
2017 Compared to 2016
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $57.9 million during 2017 as compared to 2016 . Cash inflows generated from higher net earnings were offset by higher levels of cash used for trade accounts receivables, inventories and accounts payable and lower cash provided by accrued expenses and other liabilities. The change in deferred income taxes reflects the non-cash reduction in U.S. deferred taxes resulting from the enactment of the TCJA. Net cash used in investing activities decreased $4.5 million during 2017 as compared to 2016 , due primarily to less cash paid for acquisitions during 2017 . Net cash used in financing activities decreased $53.4 million during 2017 as compared to 2016 . Cash paid to purchase the remaining noncontrolling interest and settle other related liabilities associated with one of our prior business combinations and cash returned to Danaher constituted the most significant uses of cash in 2017 .
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures are made primarily for increasing capacity, replacing equipment, supporting new product development and improving information technology systems. Capital expenditures totaled $15.6 million in the three-month period ended March 29, 2019 , $13.0 million in the three-month period ended March 30, 2018 , $72.2 million in 2018 , $48.9 million in 2017

and $49.1 million in 2016 . The increase in capital expenditures in 2018 was primarily driven by expenditures to increase production capacity in the Specialty Products & Technologies segment.
Contractual Obligations
The following table sets forth, by period due or year of expected expiration, as applicable, a summary of our contractual obligations as of  December 31, 2018  under (1) operating lease obligations, (2) purchase obligations and (3) other long-term liabilities reflected on our Combined Balance Sheet under GAAP. There were no material changes in our contractual obligations during the quarter ended March 29, 2019 . The amounts presented in the “Other long-term liabilities” line in the table below include  $27 million  of noncurrent gross unrecognized tax benefits and related interest (and do not include  $4 million  of current gross unrecognized tax benefits which are included in the “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” line on the Combined Balance Sheet). However, the timing of the long-term portion of these liabilities is uncertain, and therefore, they have been included in the “More Than 5 Years” column in the table below. Refer to Note 11 to the audited Combined Financial Statements for additional information on unrecognized tax benefits. Certain of our acquisitions also involve the potential payment of contingent consideration. The table below does not reflect any such obligations, as the timing and amounts of any such payments are uncertain. Refer to “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” for a discussion of other contractual obligations that are not reflected in the table below.

(a)  
As described in Note 13 to the audited Combined Financial Statements, certain leases require us to pay real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and other operating expenses associated with the leased premises. These future costs are not included in the table above. As discussed in Note 2 to the audited Combined Financial Statements, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842 related to lease accounting on January 1, 2019. Future minimum lease payments in the table above differ from the future lease liability recognized under ASC 842, as the lease liability recognized under ASC 842 discounts the lease payments while the minimum lease payments are not discounted. Additionally, ASC 842 allows a lessee to elect to combine or separate any non-lease components in an arrangement with the lease components for the calculation of the lease liability while the minimum lease payments exclude any non-lease components.
(b)  
Consist of agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on us and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, fixed, minimum or variable price provisions and the approximate timing of the transaction.
(c)  
Primarily consist of obligations under product service and warranty policies and allowances, performance and operating cost guarantees, estimated environmental remediation costs, self-insurance and litigation claims, pension obligations, deferred tax liabilities and deferred compensation obligations. The timing of cash flows associated with these obligations is based upon management’s estimates over the terms of these arrangements and is largely based upon historical experience.

Table of Contents --------------

In the normal course of business, we periodically enter into agreements that require us to indemnify customers, suppliers or other business partners for specific risks, such as claims for injury or property damage arising out of our products or services or claims alleging that our products or services infringe third-party intellectual property. We have not included any such indemnification provisions in the contractual obligations table above. Historically, we have not experienced significant losses on these types of indemnification obligations.
Debt Financing Transactions
Prior to the completion of this offering, we intend to (i) enter into a five-year $250 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks, which we refer to as the “credit facility,” and (ii) borrow approximately $1.5 billion pursuant to a term loan agreement we expect to enter into with a syndicate of banks (consisting of a three-year, $750 million senior unsecured term loan facility and a three-year, €675 million senior unsecured term loan facility), which we refer to as the “term loans,” and collectively with the credit facility, as the “debt financing.” As described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds,” the proceeds from such $1.5 billion of borrowings will be paid to Danaher as partial consideration for Danaher’s transfer of the net assets of its Dental business to us. The debt financing will not be available for borrowings until the date on which certain conditions are satisfied, which we expect will be satisfied prior to the completion of this offering. For additional information regarding the debt financing, please refer to the section entitled “Description of Certain Indebtedness.”
Legal Proceedings
Please refer to Note 14 to the audited Combined Financial Statements included in this prospectus for information regarding legal proceedings and contingencies, and for a discussion of risks related to legal proceedings and contingencies, please refer to “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Businesses.”

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices as well as credit risk, each of which could impact our Combined Financial Statements. We generally address our exposure to these risks through our normal operating activities.
Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We face transactional exchange rate risk from transactions with customers in countries outside the United States and from intercompany transactions between affiliates. Transactional exchange rate risk arises from the purchase and sale of goods and services in currencies other than our functional currency or the functional currency of our applicable subsidiary. We also face translational exchange rate risk related to the translation of financial statements of our foreign operations into U.S. dollars, our functional currency. Costs incurred and sales recorded by subsidiaries operating outside of the United States are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates effective during the respective period. As a result, we are exposed to movements in the exchange rates of various currencies against the U.S. dollar. In particular, we have more sales in European currencies than we have expenses in those currencies. Therefore, when European currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar, operating profits are increased or decreased, respectively. The effect of a change in currency exchange rates on our net investment in international subsidiaries is reflected in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component of Parent’s equity.
We have generally accepted the exposure to exchange rate movements without using derivative financial instruments to manage this risk. Both positive and negative movements in currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar will therefore continue to affect the reported amount of sales and net earnings in our Combined Financial Statements. In addition, we have assets and liabilities held in foreign currencies. A 10% depreciation in major currencies relative to the U.S. dollar as of March 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018  would have reduced Parent’s equity by approximately $200 million and $214 million , respectively.
Credit Risk
We are exposed to potential credit losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to our financial instruments. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk primarily consist of receivables from customers. For additional information on our credit risk from customers, please refer to the section entitled “Business.”
Our businesses perform credit evaluations of our customers’ financial conditions as appropriate and also obtain collateral or other security when appropriate.
Commodity Price Risk
For a discussion of risks relating to commodity prices, refer to “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Businesses.”

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Combined Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates and judgments on historical experience, the current economic environment and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates and judgments.
We believe the following accounting estimates are most critical to an understanding of our financial statements. Estimates are considered to be critical if they meet both of the following criteria: (1) the estimate requires assumptions about material matters that are uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and (2) material changes in the estimate are reasonably likely from period-to-period. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting estimates, refer to Note 2 to the audited Combined Financial Statements.
Acquired Intangibles —Our business acquisitions typically result in the recognition of goodwill, in-process R&D and other intangible assets, which affect the amount of future period amortization expense and possible impairment charges that we may incur. Refer to Notes 2, 4 and 7 to the audited Combined Financial Statements for a description of our policies relating to goodwill, acquired intangibles and acquisitions.
In performing our goodwill impairment testing, we estimate the fair value of our reporting units primarily using a market-based approach. In evaluating the estimates derived by the market-based approach, management makes judgments about the relevance and reliability of the multiples by considering factors unique to our reporting units, including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, and transactions and marketplace data as well as judgments about the comparability of the market proxies selected. In certain circumstances, we will also estimate fair value utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis (i.e., an income approach) in order to validate the results of the market approach. The discounted cash flow model requires judgmental assumptions about projected sales growth, future operating margins, discount rates and terminal values. There are inherent uncertainties related to these assumptions and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment.
As of  December 31, 2018 , we had three reporting units for goodwill impairment testing. Reporting units resulting from recent acquisitions generally present the highest risk of impairment. Management believes the impairment risk associated with these reporting units generally decreases as these businesses are integrated and better positioned for potential future earnings growth. Our annual goodwill impairment analysis in  2018  indicated that in all instances, the fair values of our reporting units exceeded their carrying values and consequently did not result in an impairment charge. The excess of the estimated fair value over carrying value (expressed as a percentage of carrying value for the respective reporting unit) for each of our reporting units as of the annual testing date ranged from approximately 15% to approximately 155% . In order to evaluate the sensitivity of the fair value calculations used in the goodwill impairment test, we applied a hypothetical 10% decrease to the fair values of each reporting unit and compared those hypothetical values to the reporting unit carrying values. Based on this hypothetical 10% decrease, the excess of the estimated fair value over carrying value (expressed as a percentage of carrying value for the respective reporting unit) for each of our reporting units ranged from approximately 5% to approximately 130% .
We review identified intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. We also test intangible assets with indefinite lives at least annually for impairment. Determining whether an impairment loss occurred requires a comparison of the carrying amount to the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. These analyses require management to make judgments and estimates about future sales, expenses, market conditions and discount rates related to these assets.
If actual results are not consistent with management’s estimates and assumptions, goodwill and other intangible assets may be overstated and a charge would need to be taken against net earnings which would adversely affect our Combined Financial Statements. Historically, our estimates of goodwill and intangible assets have been materially correct.
Contingent Liabilities —As discussed in Note 14 to the audited Combined Financial Statements, we are, from time to time, subject to a variety of litigation and similar contingent liabilities incidental to our business (or the business operations of previously owned entities). We recognize a liability for any contingency that is known or probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. These assessments require judgments concerning matters such as litigation developments and outcomes, the anticipated outcome of negotiations, the number of future claims and the cost of both pending and future claims. In addition, because most contingencies are resolved over long periods of time, liabilities may change in the future due to various factors, including those discussed in Note 14 to the audited Combined Financial Statements. If the reserves we established with respect to these contingent liabilities are inadequate, we would be required to incur an expense equal to the amount of the loss incurred in excess of the reserves, which would adversely affect our financial statements.

Table of Contents --------------

Revenue Recognition —On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606 ), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance. Refer to Note 3 to the audited Combined Financial Statements and Note 2 to the unaudited Combined Financial Statements for additional information on our adoption of this ASU.
We derive revenues from the sale of products and services to customers, which includes end-users and distributors. Revenue is recognized when control over the promised products or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In determining if control has transferred, we consider whether certain indicators of the transfer of control are present, such as the transfer of title, present right to payment, significant risks and rewards of ownership and customer acceptance when acceptance is not a formality. To determine the consideration that the customer owes us, we must make judgments regarding the amount of customer allowances and rebates, as well as an estimate for product returns. Refer to Note 2 to the audited Combined Financial Statements for a description of our revenue recognition policies.
If our judgments regarding revenue recognition prove incorrect, our reported revenues in particular periods may be adversely affected. Historically, our estimates of revenue have been materially correct.
Corporate Allocations —We have historically operated as part of Danaher and not as a separate, publicly-traded company. Accordingly, certain shared costs have been allocated to us and are reflected as expenses in the accompanying financial statements. Management considers the allocation methodologies used to be reasonable and appropriate reflections of the related expenses attributable to us for purposes of the carve-out financial statements; however, the expenses reflected in these financial statements may not be indicative of the actual expenses that would have been incurred during the periods presented if we had operated as a separate, publicly-traded entity. In addition, the expenses reflected in the financial statements may not be indicative of expenses that we will incur in the future. Refer to Note 17 to the audited Combined Financial Statements and Note 11 to the unaudited Combined Financial Statements for a description of our corporate allocations and related-party transactions.
Pension Plans —For a description of our pension accounting practices, refer to Note 10 to the audited Combined Financial Statements. Calculations of the amount of pension costs and obligations depend on the assumptions used in the actuarial valuations, including assumptions regarding discount rates, expected return on plan assets, rates of salary increases, health care cost trend rates, mortality rates and other factors. If the assumptions used in calculating pension costs and obligations are incorrect or if the factors underlying the assumptions change (as a result of differences in actual experience, changes in key economic indicators or other factors) our financial statements could be materially affected. A 50 basis point reduction in the discount rates used for the plans for 2018 would have increased the net obligation by $ 12 million ($ 9 million on an after-tax basis) from the amounts recorded in the financial statements as of December 31, 2018 . A 50 basis point increase in the discount rates used for the plans for 2018 would have decreased the net obligation by $ 12 million ($ 9 million on an after-tax basis) from the amounts recorded in the financial statements as of December 31, 2018 .
Our plan assets consist of various insurance contracts, equity and debt securities as determined by the administrator of each plan. The estimated long-term rate of return for the plans was determined on a plan-by-plan basis based on the nature of the plan assets and ranged from 1.80% to 5.80% . If the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets for 2018 was reduced by 50 basis points, pension expense for the plans for 2018 would have increased $ 0.5 million ($ 0.4 million on an after-tax basis).
Income Taxes —For a description of our income tax accounting policies, refer to Notes 2 and 11 to the audited Combined Financial Statements. We establish valuation allowances for our deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. This requires management to make judgments and estimates regarding: (1) the timing and amount of the reversal of taxable temporary differences, (2) expected future taxable income, and (3) the impact of tax planning strategies. Future changes to tax rates would also impact the amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities and could have an adverse impact on our financial statements.
We provide for unrecognized tax benefits when, based upon the technical merits, it is “more likely than not” that an uncertain tax position will not be sustained upon examination. Judgment is required in evaluating tax positions and determining income tax provisions. We re-evaluate the technical merits of our tax positions and may recognize an uncertain tax benefit in certain circumstances, including when: (1) a tax audit is completed; (2) applicable tax laws change, including a tax case ruling or legislative guidance; or (3) the applicable statute of limitations expires.
On December 22, 2017, the TCJA was enacted, which substantially changed the U.S. tax system, including lowering the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% (beginning in 2018 ). While the changes from the TCJA were generally effective beginning in 2018 , U.S. GAAP accounting for income taxes requires the effect of a change in tax laws or rates to be recognized in income from continuing operations for the period that includes the enactment date. Due to the complexities involved in accounting for the enactment of the TCJA, SAB No. 118 allowed us to record provisional amounts in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2017 . Where reasonable estimates could be made, the provisional accounting was based on such estimates. When no

81

Table of Contents --------------

reasonable estimate could be made, SAB No. 118 required the accounting to be based on the tax law in effect before the TCJA. We were required to complete our tax accounting for the TCJA when we had obtained, prepared and analyzed the information to complete the income tax accounting but no later than December 22, 2018. We completed our accounting for the tax effects of the enactment of the TCJA based on our interpretation of the new tax regulations and related guidance. The net tax effect to adjust the prior year provisional amounts was not material to our financial statements. Due to the complexity and recent issuance of these tax regulations, management’s interpretations of the impact of these rules could be subject to challenge by the taxing authorities. Some or all of these judgments are also subject to review by the IRS. If the IRS were to successfully challenge our right to realize some or all of the tax benefit we have recorded, or our interpretation of the law regarding certain items, or if the amount of the Transition Tax or other tax liabilities are understated, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.
In addition, certain of Danaher’s tax returns are currently under review by tax authorities (refer to “—Results of Operations—Income Taxes” and Note 11  to the audited Combined Financial Statements).
An increase of 1.0% in our 2018  nominal tax rate would have resulted in an additional income tax provision for the year ended  December 31, 2018  of  $3 million .

BUSINESS

Our Company
Envista is one of the largest global dental products companies with significant market positions in some of the most attractive segments of the dental products industry, including implants, orthodontics and digital imaging technologies. We develop, manufacture and market one of the most comprehensive portfolios of dental consumables, equipment and services to dental professionals covering an estimated 90% of dentists’ clinical needs for diagnosing, treating and preventing dental conditions as well as improving the aesthetics of the human smile. Our operating companies, Nobel Biocare Systems, Ormco and KaVo Kerr, serve more than 1 million dentists in over 150 countries through one of the largest commercial organizations in the dental products industry and through our dealer partners. Innovation is a core part of our strategy and we believe that in 2018, our research and development expenditure of $172 million was one of the highest R&D spends in the dental products industry. Our business is deeply rooted in the Danaher operating culture, with an executive officer team that has over 50 collective years of service with Danaher leading a team of over 12,000 employees. In 2018, we generated total sales of $2,845 million , of which approximately 70% were derived from sales of consumables, services and spare parts.
As a platform of Danaher Corporation, Envista was built through the acquisition and integration of over 25 leading dental businesses and brands over the course of more than 15 years . Since 2016, we have leveraged the Danaher Business System (“DBS”) to consolidate our operating companies into three operating companies and significantly transformed our business. DBS is a set of growth, lean and leadership-focused tools and processes that differentiates us and underpins our competitive advantage. The application of DBS has reduced costs and business complexity, freeing up resources that we have invested in research and development for new product development focusing on implants, digital imaging and workflow solutions, and aligners as well as growing our direct sales infrastructure, especially in high-growth markets.
We estimate that the global dental products industry generated approximately $23 billion in sales in 2018. It is estimated that implant systems, orthodontics and digital imaging accounted for more than $10 billion of this amount and ranked among the fastest growing segments in the industry. The digitization of dental practices globally is transforming the way dentists diagnose and treat patients, leading to better clinical outcomes. In addition, we believe future growth in the dental industry will be driven by an aging population, the current underpenetration of dental procedures, especially in high-growth markets, improving access to complex procedures due to increasing technological innovation, and an increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry.
We are a leading dental provider in high-growth markets. In 2018, we generated 23% of our sales from high-growth markets, which have grown from $542 million in 2016 to $655 million in 2018. Our growing scale in these markets has been driven by strategic investments in underpenetrated markets, such as the Greater China region, where we had sales of $213 million in 2018 and currently have a commercial organization of more than 400 employees. We are also replicating key elements of our Greater China region strategy in other high-growth markets to benefit from the future growth potential associated with expanding access to dental care in these regions.
Our commercial organization includes over 3,000 employees with deep clinical, product and workflow expertise who interact with customers on a daily basis. We are also a leading global provider of clinical training to enhance patient access to high-quality dental care, reaching over 100,000 dental professionals annually through more than 4,000 training and education events we directly organize. Through our trusted brands, innovative product offerings and comprehensive customer service, we have established strong relationships globally with key constituencies, including DSOs, dental specialists, general dentists, and dental laboratories. We believe the continuing expansion of our global commercial organization will provide us with significant opportunities for future growth as we increase our penetration in various geographic markets.
Envista’s operating companies have a long history of innovation in their respective product categories. We have cumulatively spent $487 million on R&D in the three years ended December 31, 2018. With over 800 R&D employees, we believe we have one of the largest R&D organizations in the dental products industry. We target our R&D efforts to address our customers’ unmet needs and our commercial scale gives us deep insight into all fields of dentistry. Through our increased investments in R&D, we have accelerated multiple new product development initiatives, such as the DTX software suite, the N1 implant system, and Spark Aligners, each of which is discussed in more detail below.
Our business is operated through two segments: Specialty Products & Technologies, which is comprised of our Nobel Biocare Systems and Ormco operating companies, and Equipment & Consumables , which is comprised of our KaVo Kerr operating company.

Specialty Products & Technologies
Our Specialty Products & Technologies segment develops, manufactures and markets dental implant systems, dental prosthetics and associated treatment software and technologies, as well as orthodontic bracket systems, aligners and lab products. We typically market these products directly to end-users through our commercial organization, and approximately 90% of our 2018 sales for this segment were direct sales. In 2018, our Specialty Products & Technologies segment generated $1,370 million of sales, representing year-over-year core sales growth of 3.5% . In 2018, 44% of segment sales were derived from North America, 25% from Western Europe, 7% from other developed markets, and 24% from high-growth markets. Sales of consumables, services and spare parts comprised approximately 95% of segment sales in 2018. This segment is comprised of two operating companies:
Nobel Biocare Systems: is a world leader in the field of innovative implant-based dental restorations offering over 3,000 products and enabling dentists to deliver single-tooth to full-mouth restorations. Our well-known brands include Nobel Biocare TM , Alpha Bio Tec TM , Implant Direct TM , Logon, Nobel Procera TM and Orascoptic TM . Our success is built upon over 60 years of clinical experience with osseointegration, the biological process of human bone adhering to a titanium implant. As the pioneer of implant science grounded in clinical research, we have introduced a number of solutions that have become widely adopted in the premium implant industry. The most recent example of our innovation leadership is our upcoming implant system, N1, which we believe, if authorized for sale, will simplify the implant procedure. Our range of premium implants offered through Nobel Biocare together with our Value Implant businesses (Alpha Bio Tec, Implant Direct and Logon) covers a broad range of price points in the market.
Ormco: is a leading manufacturer and provider of advanced orthodontic technology and services. Our well-known brands include Ormco TM , Insignia TM , AOA TM and Spark. For over 50 years, Ormco has provided orthodontic professionals with high quality, innovative products backed by educational support to enhance the lives of their patients. Our broad range of products includes brackets and wires, aligners and digital treatment solutions, offering practitioners a comprehensive set of treatment options to optimize patient outcomes. Having historically focused on brackets and wires, Ormco launched its clear aligner system Spark in Australia and New Zealand in 2018 and received a 510(k) clearance for the U.S. market in October 2018.
Equipment & Consumables
Our Equipment & Consumables segment develops, manufactures and markets dental equipment and supplies used in dental offices, including digital imaging systems, software and other visualization/magnification systems; handpieces and associated consumables; treatment units and other dental practice equipment; endodontic systems and related consumables; restorative materials and instruments, rotary burs, impression materials, bonding agents and cements and infection prevention products. In 2018, our Equipment & Consumables segment generated $1,475 million of sales. In 2018, 50% of segment sales were derived from North America, 22% from Western Europe, 6% from other developed markets, and 22% from high-growth markets. We distribute our Equipment & Consumables segment products primarily through our channel partners, representing approximately 90% of sales in this segment in 2018.
This segment is comprised of our KaVo Kerr operating company, which was established in 2016 through the combination of two of our leading dental products businesses, KaVo and Kerr, each with more than a 100-year history of innovation in dental equipment and consumables. Our well-known brands include KaVo TM , Dexis TM , i-CAT, Gendex TM , Nomad TM , Pelton & Crane TM , Kerr TM , Pentron TM , Optibond TM , Harmonize TM , Sonicfill TM , Sybron Endo TM and CaviWipes TM . We were pioneers in 2D/panoramic and 3D imaging, and have one of the largest installed bases of dental imaging devices in the industry with over 150,000 imaging devices currently utilized in dental practices. End-users of our imaging devices can utilize our new diagnostics and treatment planning software suite DTX to access all clinical patient images in one place, using one software

system from image acquisition through treatment delivery. Throughout the diagnostic and treatment process, DTX enables efficient collaboration with treatment partners such as other dentists or laboratories.

Our History and Transformation
Our History
As a platform of Danaher Corporation, Envista was built through the acquisition and integration of over 25 leading dental businesses and brands over the course of more than 15 years . We believe our business today has one of the most comprehensive offerings in the dental products industry. We organize our operating companies in a way that leverages long histories of brand leadership across their respective product categories. We initiated business realignment efforts starting in 2016, which has helped improve alignment of our product and commercial strategies, allows us to better meet the needs of a broad set of customers, and facilitates an efficient and effective innovation pipeline.
The following table summarizes select key acquisitions to date:
DENTALACQUISITIONSA13.JPG

Our Transformation Strategy
Our strategic focus is comprised of three key elements, which are based on the DBS strategic areas of Lean, Growth and Talent.
“Establish a Strong Foundation” : Beginning in 2016, we consolidated our operating companies, reduced our manufacturing sites from 44 to 33 , consolidated almost 150 sales offices into less than 80 , streamlined our R&D organization, and centralized our direct and indirect procurement organizations. Since 2016, we have realized total cost savings of more than $90 million through improvements in manufacturing processes, procurement initiatives and reduction of business complexity. These savings have helped drive incremental investments in commercial and R&D resources.
“Reinvest for Growth” : Streamlining our business operations has allowed us to increase our commercial organization by more than 10% since 2016, to now over 3,000 employees globally, including an increase of Nobel Biocare

87

Table of Contents --------------

Systems’ direct sales force by over 15% in 2018 compared to 2016. To help drive more sustainable and predictable sales growth, we realigned our KaVo Kerr organization to centrally manage our distributor relationships, and we changed our sales incentive compensation program, which is now driven by end customer sales.
“Pursue Long-Term Market Leadership” : Over the last three years, we have invested significant resources in areas we believe will help drive long-term market leadership:
Software : We have more than doubled our population of software engineers from 2015 to 2018 and are now centrally managing the development of digital dentistry and software application solutions across our operating companies. We have developed our new Diagnostic and Treatment Planning Software DTX to meet the growing demands for digital connectivity of dental practices.
Implants : We increased our R&D expenditures in Nobel Biocare Systems by over 10% in 2018 compared to 2016, which accelerated the development of new implant systems and navigated surgery systems. These innovations target increased adoption of implants that we believe can grow our market share.
High-Growth Markets : We are one of the largest dental product providers in the Greater China region with approximately 900 employees, including over 400 commercial employees and fully localized R&D, product management, operations, regulatory affairs, sales and marketing, and customer service resources. We have built a business that generated less than $30 million in sales in 2011 to one that generated $213 million in sales in 2018. We are replicating key elements of our Greater China region strategy in other high-growth regions, such as Latin America, Asia Pacific, Eastern Europe and Russia.

Industry Overview
We believe the global dental products industry is an attractive and growing sector within healthcare with estimated total product sales of approximately $23 billion in 2018, which we estimate has grown at an average, annual mid-single digit rate over the last three years. While the U.S. represents a significant portion of the global dental products market, we have also been focused on building significant scale in high-growth markets. Within the global dental products industry, we believe segments such as Imaging, Implants and Orthodontics will grow at a more rapid pace than the overall market. We believe future growth of the dental products industry will be driven by an aging population, the current underpenetration of dental procedures, especially in high-growth markets, improving access to complex procedures due to increasing technological innovation, an increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry, and growth of DSOs, which are expected to drive increasing penetration and access to care globally. The table below provides a summary of the key characteristics of the product segments for which we develop, manufacture and distribute dental products.

While both equipment and consumables represent significant expenditures for dental service providers, the sales dynamics for each differ. The sale of equipment depends on both technological advancements and dentists’ willingness to invest in new technologies. On the other hand, consumables are more dependent on patient volume. We believe large multi-category

88

Table of Contents --------------

manufacturers that provide broad portfolio of equipment and consumables have more recession-resilient product portfolios and can gain meaningful competitive advantage over their peers as larger customers increasingly seek package deals, and digital dentistry adoption creates links between different products in the dental practitioners’ offices.
While the U.S. represents a significant portion of the global dental products industry, we have also been focused on building significant scale in high-growth markets. Prevalence and penetration of treatments is largely tied to socio-economic factors such as availability and affordability of care. We expect improving economic conditions and increased consumer disposable income in high-growth markets, as well as advancements in technological innovation that reduces complexity, cost and increases efficiency, will help drive penetration of dental care in these under-served markets.

Key Segments Within the Dental Products Industry
Imaging : Imaging (both x-ray and other visualization solutions) is considered the entry-point for many dental diagnostic exams and subsequent treatments. The rapid adoption of digital technologies in the imaging segment have transformed dental practices and have increased access to care as well as the quality of care delivered to patients. We believe enhanced connectivity amongst different types of dental imaging/diagnostic equipment and integration with downstream treatment planning and treatment delivery solutions will further improve dental workflows and lead to better treatment outcomes. We estimate that today, digital x-rays are utilized in 80-90% of U.S. dentist offices, while 10 years ago utilization was less than 50%. 3D Imaging and standalone Intraoral Scanners have also enjoyed rapid adoption in the U.S. and we estimate both product categories have 20-30% penetration rates today, from less than 5% utilization 10 years ago. In high-growth markets, especially the Greater China region, digital penetration has also been rapid. We believe digitalization and connectivity will continue to drive high growth in this segment.
Implants: The implant industry is significant and enjoys higher margins and growth than the overall dental products market. The U.S. and high-growth markets like the Greater China region, represent key growth drivers for this industry. In the U.S., implant penetration far lags other developed markets such as Germany, Spain and Italy. In China, the prevalence of severe tooth loss is higher than in the U.S., while implant penetration is far below the U.S. We expect product innovation and increased affordability to help drive future growth in high-growth markets.

Orthodontics: Traditional wires and brackets systems continue to be the preferred choice in complex and young adult cases, due to their better clinical outcomes. In recent years, clear aligners have become an increasingly popular treatment option and are expected to grow at a significantly faster pace than traditional metal wires and brackets. Clear aligners are aesthetically pleasing and clinically proven to be effective in less severe cases, which combined with technological advancements that have significantly increased the number of providers offering orthodontic treatments, have expanded the addressable market for orthodontic procedures. We estimate that clear aligners represented approximately 12% of orthodontic case volume in 2018 but are expected to represent at least 20% of case volume by 2021. Going forward, we believe this product segment will continue to grow at a high pace as aesthetics become increasingly important to patients.
Growth Drivers
We believe that many product offerings in our core business are underpenetrated globally and present a significant opportunity for growth through the continued penetration of our differentiated products. Beyond our core business, there are also a number of adjacent dental products, which we believe provide an opportunity to further grow and expand our product offerings in the future.
We believe continued growth in both the global dental industry and global dental products market will be driven by a variety of factors, including:
An aging population . According to the United Nations, in 2017 there were nearly 1 billion people aged 60 or over in the world, comprising 13% of the global population. By 2050, that number is expected to double to approximately 2 billion people and comprise 22% of the world’s population, largely driven by aging in low and middle-income countries. With the aging of the population, prevalence of dental conditions, including edentulism (full tooth loss), dry mouth, root and coronal caries, and periodontitis, increases. According to the World Health Organization - World

89

Table of Contents --------------

Health Survey, generally between 20-30% of people over 60 years are suffering from edentulism. As the global population continues to age, we believe older patients will help drive increased demand for dental products and services.
The current underpenetration of dental procedures, especially in high-growth markets . According to the Global Economy and Development Working Paper 100 of the Brookings Institution, it is estimated that between 2015 and 2030, the middle class population in high-growth markets will grow by approximately 1.5 billion people, from 2.0 billion to 3.5 billion . This major demographic shift is generating a large, new customer base with increased access to dental products and services along with the resources to pay for them. According to the World Health Organization, the number of dentists in China is less than 10 per 100,000 people compared to 60 in the U.S. and 85 in Germany. The expansion of training opportunities for dental professionals in high-growth markets is also leading to increased patient awareness and access to premium dental products and procedures, further facilitating the market’s growth.
Improving access to complex procedures due to increasing technological innovation . The market for digital dental solutions has grown substantially in recent years due to increased demand from dentists and dental professionals for increased efficiency and better product workflows, with rapid adoption of these technologies not only in the U.S. and Europe, but also in high-growth markets. Digital dental solutions enhance the workflow of dentists from diagnostics to treatment. Providing better diagnostics allows dentists to more effectively treat patient needs, often at lower cost. Beyond diagnostics, digital dental solutions are also increasingly being utilized in implant, orthodontic and restorative treatment planning. This simplifies case planning and execution, which is especially relevant for newer dentists (e.g. DSO associates and dentists in high-growth markets) as technology helps to de-skill complex procedures, and increase outcome predictability.
An increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry . Increased awareness of the importance of oral health maintenance and increasing consumer focus on cosmetic dentistry continues to act as a meaningful growth driver for the global dental industry. Orthodontic procedures are increasingly aesthetically driven as evidenced by the rapid adoption of clear aligners. We believe aesthetically-driven patients seeking an increasing number of tooth replacement procedures and teeth straightening procedures will continue to drive the demand for dental implants and aligners.
Growth of DSOs, which are expected to drive increasing penetration and access to care globally . In the U.S. and globally, increasing demand for dental services has driven the growth of alternative care delivery networks. DSOs in the U.S. are focused on underserved markets such as the mid-west and rural areas where access to general as well as complex dental care is relatively underpenetrated. Globally, growth of private insurance as well as private provider networks provide access to more complex procedures that are not covered under social insurance. We believe the continued growth of these care delivery networks will increase demand for dental products and more complex procedures which require more advanced technologies.

Our Competitive Strengths
We believe we have significant competitive strengths, including:
Brand leadership with a long track record and strong brand recognition . We built our business around brands, with long histories of innovation and strong brand recognition in the dental products market. The founder of our Nobel Biocare Systems operating company introduced the world’s first dental implant and Nobel Biocare Systems has since become a world leader in the field of innovative implant-based dental restorations. Our Ormco operating company has over 50 years of distinguished history providing orthodontists with high quality, innovative products. Ormco products have received over 25 industry awards since 2013, for excellence in design and service. Multiple brands within our KaVo Kerr operating company have more than 100 years of history in dental products. We believe the long history and leadership of our well-known brands in the dental products industry enhances our connections with both patients and providers, and supports our strong market position.
Comprehensive portfolio with leadership in key attractive segments . We believe we have one of the most comprehensive offerings in the industry, enabling us to be a vendor of choice for many dental practitioners, dental laboratories, distributors and DSOs. The breadth and depth of our product offerings address an estimated 90% of dentists’ clinical needs from consumables to digital equipment solutions. Our catalog of products covers the spectrum from value-focused products to premium brands, allowing providers to fully address patient needs in different market segments. Within our product portfolio, we believe we are one of the largest manufacturers in implants and orthodontics and have one of the largest installed bases of imaging devices. Our broad product offering positions us particularly well to serve the needs of DSOs, which have been one of the fastest growing segments of our customer base.

Global commercial reach . Our operating companies serve more than 1 million dentists in over 150 countries through one of the largest customer-facing sales teams in the dental products industry and through our dealer partners. In 2018, we generated 56% of our sales from markets outside of the U.S. We have more than 3,000 employees in our global commercial organization, most of whom hold deep clinical expertise and interface with practitioners daily. Our Nobel Biocare Systems and Ormco businesses, which primarily sell direct to dental professionals, employ over 2,000 of these sales employees. In addition, we reach dentists via a network of over 1,000 global distribution partners. We believe our diverse sales channels, global manufacturing and distribution, and local market knowledge help us to better address our customer needs. We are also a leading global provider of clinical training to enhance patient access to high-quality dental care, reaching over 100,000 dental professionals annually through more than 4,000 training and education events we directly organize.
Strong position in high-growth markets, particularly in the Greater China region . We have successfully grown our business in high-growth markets; these markets represented 23% of our total sales in 2018. In particular, we have increased our sales in the Greater China region from less than $30 million in 2011 to $213 million in 2018. We have built one of the largest dental products businesses in the Greater China region, with approximately 900 employees (including more than 400 sales personnel), three manufacturing operations and a fully localized infrastructure with dedicated R&D, product management, operations, regulatory affairs, sales and marketing, and customer service resources. Our China offices and cover all Tier 1/Tier 2 cities (tier designations are based on population, commercial resources/activity, GDP and various other factors, with Tier 1 cities representing the largest cities). With this structure, we believe that we are well positioned to capture additional share in the growing Chinese dental products industry. Given our success in the Greater China region, we are replicating key elements of this strategy in other high growth regions such as Latin America, Asia Pacific, Eastern Europe and Russia.
Track record of innovation . Our operating companies have a long track record of successful innovation, having pioneered many new dental product categories since their inception. With $487 million of cumulative R&D investment in the three years ended December 31, 2018, we have supported our significant market positions in the industry with what we believe is one of the highest levels of R&D investment in the dental products industry. Our strong commercial infrastructure allows us to obtain insights into unmet needs at the practitioner level and translate them into differentiated products. Our focus on innovation has yielded many differentiated products over the years, such as our NobelActive dental implants, our Damon passive self-ligating orthodontic wires and brackets, and our i-CAT 3D imaging system. We are continuing this legacy of innovation with our upcoming N1 implant system and our new Spark clear aligners and DTX clinical software ecosystem for KaVo’s imaging solutions. Our new product development activities are complemented by externally sourcing technologies through a broad network of partnerships, collaborations, and investments involving third party research institutions, universities and innovative start-up companies.
Danaher Business System . We believe our deep-rooted commitment to DBS helps drive our success and market leadership and differentiates us in the dental products industry. DBS encompasses not only lean tools and processes, but also methods for driving growth, innovation and leadership. Within the DBS framework, we pursue a number of ongoing strategic initiatives relating to customer insight generation, product development and commercialization, efficient sourcing, and improvement in manufacturing and back-office support, all with a focus on continually improving quality, delivery, cost, growth and innovation.
Experienced management team with extensive Danaher and dental industry experience . Our executive officer team has extensive dental industry experience, with over 50 years of collective service with Danaher and a proven track record of applying DBS to execute on our strategic and operational goals. Under their leadership, we have undertaken a significant transformation to better position our business for organic and inorganic growth and diversify our sales globally. We believe our management team will continue to drive growth and profitability in our business in the future.

Our Business Strategy
Our strategy is to maximize shareholder value through several key initiatives:
Build upon our strong portfolio of leading brands and commercial scale . We believe the long history and leadership of our well-known brands in the dental products industry enhances our connections with both patients and providers and supports our strong global market position. We expect to continue our significant investments in expanding our global commercial reach and footprint especially in our direct businesses. We are planning to expand our clinical training and education infrastructure to further increase our brand loyalty, deepen our relationships with dental practitioners and further enhance patient access to high quality dental care. We believe these investments better

position us to effectively meet the needs of our customers, particularly the growing DSO segment, which value a comprehensive, end-to-end product offering with the ability to roll out new technologies and procedure-focused trainings at scale.
Invest in underpenetrated high-growth markets globally . 56% of our sales were generated outside the U.S. in 2018, including 23% of our 2018 sales generated in high-growth markets. In 2018, we had $213 million in sales in the Greater China region, representing one of the largest dental products businesses in the region. We expect to continue to invest in the Greater China region as we believe it will be a strong growth driver for our business in the future. We have succeeded in the Greater China region by harnessing our existing go-to-market infrastructure, building familiarity with local customer needs and regulations, and establishing dedicated locally-based management resources. We are replicating key elements of this strategy in other high-growth regions, such as Latin America, Asia Pacific, Eastern Europe, and Russia.
Continue to drive growth in our implants franchise . The dental implant market enjoys higher margins and faster growth than the overall dental products market. In the U.S., which is our largest geographic market, implant penetration lags significantly behind other Western European markets, such as Germany, Spain and Italy. We believe we have an approximately 20% share of the $5 billion global implants segment and will continue to invest in our global commercial footprint and product innovation to grow our strong position in the underpenetrated dental implant market.
Maintain a strong market leadership position through innovation that our customers value . Envista’s operating companies have a long history of innovation in their respective product categories. As we seek to continue to improve our business and drive increased cash flow, we expect to strategically invest in innovation in order to better serve our customers. We will focus our new product introductions on driving growth in attractive core segments, such as innovative implant systems and clear aligners, and on building differentiation in imaging and digital dentistry.
Drive continuous improvement and margin expansion through DBS . We have been successful in the past in driving continuous improvements and margin expansion through the application of DBS to grow our free cash flow. We continue to pursue a number of ongoing strategic initiatives across our operating companies relating to efficient sourcing and improvements in manufacturing and back-office support, all with a focus on continually improving quality, delivery, cost, growth and innovation.
Deploy capital through acquisitions and investments . We see many opportunities for capital deployment in our core businesses, as well as in attractive adjacencies. We intend to drive shareholder value by deploying capital to acquire or invest in other businesses that strategically fit into or extend our product offering into new or attractive adjacent markets. Based on our experience of acquiring more than 25 business over the last 15 years, we believe we can successfully acquire and integrate businesses to further build upon our scale and market leadership.

Table of Contents --------------

Nobel Biocare Systems is a world leader in the field of innovative implant-based dental restoration, offering a comprehensive portfolio of products to treat a wide range of conditions, from a single missing tooth to fully edentulous patients. As the pioneer of implant science grounded in clinical research, we have introduced a number of solutions that have become widely adopted in the premium implant industry. Our comprehensive product offering includes dental implant systems, guided surgery systems, biomaterials, prefabricated and custom-built prosthetics and dental eye loupes, marketed under a variety of brands, including Nobel Biocare, Alpha Bio Tec, Implant Direct, Nobel Procera and Orascoptic. We also offer a comprehensive education program to fully train our broad range of clinical customers, from clinicians performing basic implant procedures to the most advanced practitioners, with the goal of enhancing patient access to high-quality dental care. Customers of Nobel include oral surgeons, prosthodontists and periodontists.
The table below provides a summary description of key products and brands offered by Nobel Biocare Systems products:
NOBELIMAGE7.JPG
Nobel has a long history of innovation, which includes both the first documented case of a titanium implant placement in a human and introduction of the concept of living bone adhering to an artificial implant (known as osseointegration). Today, Nobel offers several implant systems, with NobelActive being the Company’s top implant system in terms of sales and number of placements. NobelActive offers high primary stability allowing patients to receive and use prosthetics the same day as the implant is placed. Through our Implant Direct, Alpha Bio Tec and Logon value implant businesses we also offer a variety of implant systems that cover a broad range of price points in the market.
Since being acquired by Danaher in 2014, Nobel has focused on reinvigorating its product offerings and has released over 30 new products. We believe Nobel’s N1 implant system, if authorized for sale, will become the most significant product launch to date for Nobel. Its unique site preparation method was created with the goal to reduce complexity and streamline workflows during implant and restorative procedures. Experience gained from clinical use of this new concept over the last 18 months has suggested that it may be more efficient than currently used drilling protocols, because the N1 treatment protocol uses two drills operating at 50 rotations per minute (“RPMs”) (compared to the typical and currently employed treatment protocol of five-to-six drills at approximately 1,000 RPMs), which we believe, if cleared, will make the treatment simpler for clinicians and creates less bone trauma for patients.  We have submitted part of the N1 product portfolio to the FDA and the FDA has accepted

the 510(k) submission for substantive review.  With respect to the remainder of the N1 product portfolio, we are conducting the required performance-related tests and validation and anticipate submitting 510(k) applications for these products prior to the end of 2019.
Nobel also offers the comprehensive software packages ‘ DTX Studio Implant ,’ which is used for treatment planning of dental implants, and ‘DTX Studio Lab,’ which is used for prosthetics treatment planning. These software packages are now integrated in Envista’s broader DTX software suite, which also will include the new ‘DTX Studio Clinic’ software package to be offered with KaVo imaging devices. With DTX , clinicians can use one software ecosystem from image acquisition and diagnosis to treatment planning, implant surgery, and restoration planning and placement, as well as collaborate with treatment partners such as other dentists or laboratories on one digital platform. We believe this will enable significant clinical workflow efficiencies and more predictable clinical outcomes.
Ormco
Ormco is a leading manufacturer and provider of advanced orthodontic technology and services designed to move malpositioned teeth and jaws. Ormco products include brackets and wires, clear aligners, digital orthodontic treatments, retainers, and other orthodontic laboratory products, and are marketed under the Ormco, Insignia, AOA and Spark brands. Ormco also offers a comprehensive education system to fully train our clinical customers from basic to the most advanced, with the goal of enhancing patient access to high-quality dental care. Customers of Ormco are primarily orthodontists.
The table below provides a summary description of key products and brands offered by Ormco:
ORMCONEWA06.JPG
Ormco is a leader in passive self-ligating metal brackets, marketed as the Damon System. Passive self-ligation is a method of moving teeth using a fraction of the force levels required by brackets that utilize ligatures. In 2017, Ormco launched its next generation product, DQ2 TM , which offers twice the rotational control as the predecessor bracket, allowing for optimal precision, predictability and efficiency. Ormco also offers the Insignia digital orthodontic system as well as a variety of other orthodontic products, including twin brackets, clear brackets, wires and auxiliary components.
In 2018, Ormco commercially launched Spark in Australia and New Zealand. Spark is a clear aligner system designed for mild to complex malocclusion that is made with TruGEN™, the latest generation of aligner material. It is designed to deliver higher sustained force retention for efficiency and a high level of transparency for aesthetics. Spark aligners are also designed with polished, scalloped edges to enhance patient comfort and are stain resistant. Currently, Spark is commercially available only in Australia and New Zealand. Spark has also received FDA 510(k) clearance in the U.S. We believe that Spark will provide growth opportunities for our orthodontic business over the next several years.

KaVo
KaVo’s broad offering of dental equipment is used in dental offices, clinics and hospitals. The business was primarily established through Danaher’s acquisition of KaVo and Gendex in 2004 and PaloDEx TM Group Oy in 2009, but also includes products from numerous other acquisitions. Our equipment products are marketed under a variety of brands, including Dexis, Gendex, i-CAT, KaVo, and Pelton & Crane.
The table below provides a summary description of key products and brands offered by KaVo:
KAVOUPDATE.JPG
KaVo has one of the largest installed bases of dental imaging devices in the industry and we hold a leading position in 3D imaging through the i-CAT and KaVo brands. The i-CAT FLX V17 is the business’ latest 3D CBCT offering and features a wide range of field of views, enabling a clinician to capture high quality images of the full oral-facial complex at high resolution with low radiation. This helps clinicians to more effectively treat orthodontics, complex oral surgery, implantology and airway cases. Beginning in 2017, KaVo launched the OP3D TM family, a scalable modular imaging system, providing clinicians with the flexibility to upgrade to the latest 3D imaging technology as they expand their capabilities and grow their practices. Our Dexis brand is an industry leader in intraoral X-Ray digital sensors, which provide two-dimensional images of the mouth. The newly launched Dexis Titanium TM is our flagship sensor and captures high quality images with low radiation and has advanced durable materials that make it highly reliable.
The ‘ DTX Studio Clinic’ software package will be offered on most KaVo imaging products, allowing dental professionals to store and access a broad variety of clinical patient images (e.g. 2D/3D/IOS/pictures) in one place. In combination with the Nobel Biocare Systems ‘DTX Studio Implant’ and ‘DTX Studio Lab’ software packages, clinicians can use one software ecosystem from image acquisition and diagnosis to treatment planning, implant surgery and restoration planning and placement, as well as collaborate with treatment partners such as other dentists or laboratories on one digital platform. We believe this will enable significant clinical workflow efficiencies and more predictable clinical outcomes.
KaVo is also a leader in the production of dental handpieces, which are used in nearly all disciplines of dentistry. We believe KaVo handpieces are known for high quality and high performance and are available with air-driven or electrical power. Additionally, KaVo has a substantial service and warranty business for instruments and imaging products. Finally, through the KaVo and Pelton & Crane brands, we offer equipment units which consist of dental treatment units and other dental office equipment.
Kerr
Kerr markets a broad offering of general dental consumables that are used in dental offices, clinics and hospitals. The business was primarily established through Danaher’s acquisition of Sybron Dental Specialties in 2006, as well as numerous other

95

acquisitions. Kerr products are marketed under a variety of brands, including Kerr, Metrex TM , Sybron Endo, Total Care and Pentron.
The table below provides a summary description of key products and brands offered by Kerr:
KERRNEWA06.JPG
Kerr’s products have strong brand and product recognition across most consumables categories, including restorative, endodontics, and infection control. We offer several products designed to repair and restore fractured or otherwise damaged teeth. The SonicFill composite bulk fill system replaces conventional time-consuming, multi-stage layering techniques with a single fill system that eliminates a liner or final capping layer. Kerr also offers cements and bonding agents, including the leading OptiBond TM line of products. Kerr Endodontics offers a variety of products used in the endodontic workflow which help clinicians to locate, shape, clean and fill root canals. Kerr also produces curing lights and other consumables including impression materials, burs, amalgams and waxes under several brands. Finally, through our Metrex brand, we have a significant position within infection prevention products, which include the CaviWipes and CaviCide TM product lines.

International Operations
Envista is a global dental company. Our products and services are available worldwide, and our principal markets outside the U.S. are in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. In 2018, we generated 48% of our sales in North America, 23% of our sales in Western Europe, 23% of our sales in high-growth markets and 6% of our sales in other developed markets.
We also have operations around the world, and this geographic diversity allows us to draw on the skills of a worldwide workforce, provides greater stability to our operations, allows us to drive economies of scale, provides sales streams that may help offset economic trends that are specific to individual economies and offers us an opportunity to access new markets for products. In addition, we believe that our future growth depends in part on our ability to continue developing products and sales models that successfully target high-growth markets.
The manner in which our products and services are sold outside the U.S. differs by business and by region. Most of our sales in non-U.S. markets are made by our subsidiaries located outside the U.S., though we also sell directly from the U.S. into non-U.S. markets through various representatives and distributors and, in some cases, directly. In countries with low sales volumes, we generally sell through representatives and distributors.
We operate 33 manufacturing facilities, including one in Latin America and four in Asia Pacific. In the Greater China region, we have approximately 900 employees, including over 400 sales personnel, with a full localized infrastructure of R&D, product management, operations, regulatory affairs, sales and marketing, and customer service resources.
Information about the effects of foreign currency fluctuations on our business is set forth in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. For a discussion of risks related to our non-U.S. operations and foreign currency exchange, please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Businesses.”

Sales and Distribution
Typical customers and end-users of our products include general dentists, dental specialists, orthodontists, dental hygienists, dental laboratories and other oral health professionals, including DSOs, as well as educational, medical and governmental

96

Table of Contents --------------

entities and third party distributors. These customers choose dental products based on the factors described under the section entitled “Business—Competition.”
In 2018, we distributed approximately 51% of our products through third-party distributors. Certain highly technical products, such as dental implant systems, orthodontic appliances, dental technology equipment, dental laboratory equipment and consumables, and endodontic instruments and materials are typically sold directly to dental professionals and dental laboratories.
One customer, Henry Schein, accounted for approximately 14% , 15% and 16% of our sales, and approximately 8% , 11% and 16% of our accounts receivable balance in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. In the third quarter of 2017, we terminated Henry Schein’s exclusive right to distribute our Dexis and i-CAT imaging equipment and services in the U.S. and Canada. Since that time, we have expanded the distribution of Dexis and i-CAT imaging equipment and services in the U.S. and Canada to certain other distributors. Other than Henry Schein, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of combined sales in 2018, 2017 or 2016. By its terms, our master distribution agreement with Henry Schein, which covers distribution of KaVo Kerr products in the U.S. and Canada, is currently scheduled to expire on December 31, 2019, unless the parties mutually agree to extend the agreement.
While a sizable portion of our sales are derived from distributors, most of our marketing and advertising activities are directed towards the end-users of our products (e.g., dentists, hygienists and other oral health professionals, DSOs, laboratories and universities). In addition to our marketing efforts, as noted above, we conduct significant training and education programs globally for these end-users to enhance patient access to high-quality dental care. In these programs, our employees and/or experts in the respective clinical fields demonstrate the proper use of our products. We maintain educational and consulting relationships with key experts who assist us in developing new products, new indicated uses for our products and educational programs for health care providers and consumers. We also maintain educational and consulting relationships with dental associations around the world.

Research and Development
We invest substantially in the development of new products. We conduct research and development activities for the purpose of designing and developing new products and applications that address customer needs and emerging trends, as well as enhancing the functionality, effectiveness, ease of use and reliability of our existing products. Our research and development efforts include internal initiatives as well as collaborations with external parties such as research institutions, dental and medical schools and initiatives that use licensed or acquired technology. We expect to continue investing in research and development at a rate consistent with our past practice, with the goal of maintaining or improving our competitive position, and entering new markets.
We generally conduct research and development activities on a business-by-business basis, primarily in North America, the Middle East, Asia and Europe. We anticipate that we will continue to make significant expenditures for research and development as we seek to provide a continuing flow of innovative products to maintain and improve our competitive position. For a discussion of the risks related to the need to develop and commercialize new products and product enhancements, please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Businesses.” Customer-sponsored research and development was not significant in 2018 , 2017 or 2016 .

Intellectual Property
We own numerous patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and licenses to intellectual property owned by others. Although in aggregate our intellectual property is important to our operations, we do not consider any single patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or license to be of material importance to any segment or to the business as a whole. Our products and technologies are protected by more than 2,700 granted patents. From time to time we engage in litigation to protect our intellectual property rights. For a discussion of risks related to our intellectual property, please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Businesses.” All capitalized brands and product names throughout this document are trademarks owned by, or licensed to, Danaher or the Company, as the case may be.

Employee Relations
As of December 31, 2018 , we employed approximately 12,800 persons, of whom approximately 3,500 were employed in the U.S. and approximately 9,300 were employed outside of the U.S. Of our U.S. employees, approximately 100 were hourly-rated, unionized employees. Outside the U.S., we have government-mandated collective bargaining arrangements and union contracts in certain countries, particularly in Europe where certain of our employees are represented by unions and/or works councils. For a discussion of risks related to employee relations, please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Businesses.”

Materials
Our manufacturing operations employ a wide variety of raw materials, including metallic-based components, electronic components, chemicals, plastics and other petroleum-based products, and prices of oil and gas also affect our costs for freight and utilities. We purchase raw materials from a large number of independent sources around the world. No single supplier is material, although for some components that require particular specifications or qualifications there may be a single supplier or a limited number of suppliers that can readily provide such components. We utilize a number of techniques to address potential disruption in and other risks relating to our supply chain, including in certain cases the use of safety stock, alternative materials and qualification of multiple supply sources. During 2018 , we had no raw material shortages that had a material effect on our business. For a further discussion of risks related to the materials and components required for our operations, please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Businesses.”

Competition
We believe that we are a leader in many of our served markets. Although our businesses generally operate in highly competitive markets, our competitive position cannot be determined accurately in the aggregate or by segment, since none of our competitors offer all of the same product and service lines and serve all of the same markets as we do. Because of the range of the products and services we sell and the variety of markets we serve, we encounter a wide variety of competitors, including well-established regional competitors, competitors who are more specialized than we are in particular markets, as well as larger companies or divisions of larger companies with substantial sales, marketing, research and financial capabilities. We face increased competition in a number of our served markets as a result of the entry of competitors based in low-cost manufacturing locations, and increasing consolidation in particular markets. Key competitive factors vary among our businesses and product and service lines, but include the specific factors noted above with respect to each segment and typically also include price, quality, performance, delivery speed, applications expertise, distribution channel access, service and support, technology and innovation, breadth of product, service and software offerings and brand name recognition. For a discussion of risks related to competition, please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Businesses.”

Seasonal Nature of Business
Based on historical experience, we generally have more sales in the second half of the calendar year than in the first half of the calendar year, with the first quarter typically having the lowest sales of the year. Based on historical customer buying patterns, we generally have more sales in the fourth quarter than in any other quarter of the year, driven in particular by capital spending in our Equipment & Consumables segment. As a result of this seasonality in sales, profitability in our Equipment & Consumables segment also tends to be higher in the second half of the year. There are no assurances that these historical trends will continue in the future.

Working Capital
We maintain an adequate level of working capital to support our business needs. There are no unusual industry practices or requirements relating to working capital items in either of our reportable segments. In addition, our sales and payment terms are generally similar to those of our competitors.

Backlog
We define backlog as firm orders from customers for products and services where the order will be fulfilled in the next 12 months. Backlog as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $92 million and $103 million , respectively.
A large majority of the unfilled orders as of December 31, 2018 were delivered to customers within three months of such date. Given the relatively short delivery periods and rapid inventory turnover that are characteristic of most of our products and the shortening of product life cycles, we believe that backlog is indicative of short-term sales performance but not necessarily a reliable indicator of medium or long-term sales performance.

Government Contracts
Although the substantial majority of our sales in 2018 was from customers other than governmental entities, we have agreements relating to the sale of products to government entities. As a result, we are subject to various statutes and regulations that apply to companies doing business with governments. For a discussion of risks related to government contracting requirements, please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Businesses.”

Table of Contents --------------

Regulatory Matters
We face extensive government regulation both within and outside the U.S. relating to the development, manufacture, marketing, sale and distribution of our products, software and services. The following sections describe certain significant regulations that we are subject to. These are not the only regulations that our businesses must comply with. For a description of risks related to the regulations that our businesses are subject to, please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Businesses.”

Medical Device Regulations
Most of our products are classified as medical devices and are subject to restrictions under domestic and foreign laws, rules, regulations, self-regulatory codes, circulars and orders, including, but not limited to, the U.S. Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the “FDCA”). The FDCA requires these products, when sold in the U.S., to be safe and effective for their intended uses and to comply with the regulations administered by the FDA. The FDA regulates the design, development, research, preclinical and clinical testing, introduction, manufacture, advertising, labeling, packaging, marketing, distribution, import and export and record keeping for such products. Certain medical device products are also regulated by comparable agencies in non-U.S. countries in which they are produced or sold.
Unless an exemption applies, the FDA requires that a manufacturer introducing a new medical device or a new indication for use of an existing medical device obtain either a Section 510(k) premarket notification clearance or a premarket approval (“PMA”) before introducing it into the U.S. market. The type of marketing authorization is generally linked to the classification of the device. The FDA classifies medical devices into one of three classes (Class I, II or III) based on the degree of risk the FDA determines to be associated with a device and the level of regulatory control deemed necessary to ensure the device’s safety and effectiveness.
Our products are either classified as Class I or Class II devices in the U.S. Most of our Class II and certain of our Class I devices are marketed pursuant to 510(k) pre-marketing clearances. The FDA also enforces additional regulations regarding the safety of X-ray emitting devices that we currently market. The process of obtaining a Section 510(k) clearance generally requires the submission of performance data and clinical data, which in some cases can be extensive, to demonstrate that the device is “substantially equivalent” to a device that was on the market before 1976 or to a device that has been found by the FDA to be “substantially equivalent” to such a pre-1976 device. A predecessor device is referred to as “predicate device.” As a result, FDA clearance requirements may extend the development process for a considerable length of time.
Medical devices can be marketed only for the indications for which they are cleared or approved. After a device has received 510(k) clearance for a specific intended use, any change or modification that significantly affects its safety or effectiveness, such as a significant change in the design, materials, method of manufacture or intended use, may require a new 510(k) clearance or PMA approval and payment of an FDA user fee. The determination as to whether or not a modification could significantly affect the device’s safety or effectiveness is initially left to the manufacturer using available FDA guidance; however, the FDA may review this determination to evaluate the regulatory status of the modified product at any time and may require the manufacturer to cease marketing and recall the modified device until 510(k) clearance or PMA approval is obtained.
In addition, all dental amalgam filling materials, including those manufactured and sold by the Company, contain mercury. Various groups have alleged that dental amalgam containing mercury is harmful to human health and have actively lobbied state, federal and foreign lawmakers and regulators to pass laws or adopt regulatory changes restricting the use, or requiring a warning against alleged potential risks, of dental amalgams. The FDA, the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Public Health Service have each indicated that there are no demonstrated direct adverse health effects due to exposure to dental amalgam. In response to concerns raised by certain consumer groups regarding dental amalgam, the FDA formed an advisory committee in 2006 to review peer-reviewed scientific literature on the safety of dental amalgam. In July 2009, the FDA concluded its review of dental amalgam, confirming its use as a safe and effective restorative material for adults and children ages six and above. Also, as a result of this review, the FDA classified amalgam and its component parts, elemental mercury and powder alloy, as a Class II medical device. Previously there was no classification for encapsulated amalgam, and dental mercury (Class I) and alloy (Class II) were classified separately. This regulation placed encapsulated amalgam in the same class of devices as most other restorative materials, including composite and gold fillings, and made amalgam subject to special controls by the FDA. In that respect, the FDA recommended that certain information about dental amalgam be provided, which includes information indicating that dental amalgam releases low levels of mercury vapor, and that studies on people ages six and over as well as FDA estimated exposures of children under six, have not indicated any adverse health risk associated with the use of dental amalgam. After the FDA issued this regulation, several petitions were filed asking the FDA to reconsider its position. Another advisory panel was established by the FDA to consider these petitions. Hearings of the advisory panel were held in December 2010. The FDA has taken no action indicating a change in its position as of the date of this prospectus.

Additionally, some groups have asserted that the use of dental amalgam should be prohibited because of concerns about environmental impact from the disposition of mercury within dental amalgam, which has resulted in the sale of mercury containing products being banned in Sweden and severely curtailed in Norway. In the U.S., the Environmental Protection Agency proposed in September 2014 certain effluent limitation guidelines and standards under the Clean Water Act to help cut discharges of mercury-containing dental amalgam to the environment. The rule would require affected dentists to use best available technology (amalgam separators) and other best management practices to control mercury discharges to publicly-owned treatment works. Similar regulations exist in Europe and in February 2016, the European Union adopted a ratification package regarding the United Nations Minamata Convention on Mercury, proposing rules restricting the use of dental amalgam to the encapsulated form and requiring the use of separators by dentists. We recommend adherence to the American Dental Association’s Best Management Practices for Amalgam Waste and include this recommendation in its dental amalgam packaging. We also manufacture and sell non-amalgam dental filling materials that do not contain mercury.
Any devices we manufacture and distribute are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA and certain state agencies. These include product listing and establishment registration requirements, which help facilitate FDA inspections and other regulatory actions. As a medical device manufacturer, all of our manufacturing facilities are subject to inspection on a routine basis by the FDA. We are required to adhere to applicable regulations setting forth detailed in the Current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”) requirements, as set forth in the Quality Systems Regulation (“QSR”), which require, manufacturers, including third-party manufacturers, to follow stringent design, testing, control, documentation and other quality assurance procedures during all phases of the design and manufacturing process.
We must also comply with post-market surveillance regulations, including medical device reporting, or MDR, requirements which require that we review and report to the FDA any incident in which our products may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury. We must also report any incident in which our product has malfunctioned if that malfunction would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if it were to recur.
Labeling and promotional activities are subject to scrutiny by the FDA and, in certain circumstances, by the Federal Trade Commission. Medical devices approved or cleared by the FDA may not be promoted for unapproved or uncleared uses, otherwise known as “off-label” promotion. The FDA and other agencies actively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of off-label uses.
In the European Union, our products are subject to the medical device laws of the various member states, which are currently based on a Directive of the European Commission. However, the EU has adopted the EU Medical Device Regulation (the “EU MDR”) which imposes stricter requirements for the marketing and sale of medical devices, including in the area of clinical evaluation requirements, quality systems and post-market surveillance. Manufacturers of currently approved medical devices will have until May 2020 to meet the requirements of the EU MDR. Complying with the EU MDR will require modifications to our quality management systems, additional resources in certain functions and updates to technical files, among other changes, which we anticipate in aggregate will cost less than $15 million in each of 2019 and 2020.
Other Healthcare Laws
In addition to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act and similar anti-bribery laws, we are also subject to various health care related laws regulating fraud and abuse, research and development, pricing and sales and marketing practices and the privacy and security of health information, including the U.S. federal regulations described below. Many states, foreign countries and supranational bodies have also adopted laws and regulations similar to, and in some cases more stringent than, the U.S. federal regulations discussed above and below.
The Federal Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, offering, receiving or providing remuneration (including any kickback, bribe, or certain rebate), directly or indirectly, in exchange for or to induce either the referral of an individual, or the furnishing or arranging for a good or service, for which payment may be made in whole or in part under a federal health care program, such as Medicare or Medicaid. A person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation;
HIPAA prohibits knowingly and willfully (1) executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any health care benefit program, including private payors, or (2) falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for health care benefits, items or services. Similar to the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the healthcare fraud statute implemented under HIPAA or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.

Table of Contents --------------

The False Claims Act imposes liability on any person or entity that, among other things, knowingly presents, or causes to be presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment by a federal health care program, knowingly makes, uses or causes to be made or used, a false record or statement material to a false or fraudulent claim, or knowingly makes a false statement to avoid, decrease or conceal an obligation to pay money to the U.S. federal government. The qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act allow a private individual to bring actions on behalf of the federal government alleging that the defendant has submitted a false claim to the federal government, and to share in any monetary recovery. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items and services resulting from a violation of the U.S. federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the civil False Claims Act.
The federal Civil Monetary Penalties Law prohibits, among other things, the offering or transferring of remuneration to a Medicare or Medicaid beneficiary that the person knows or should know is likely to influence the beneficiary’s selection of a particular supplier of Medicare or Medicaid payable items or services.
The Open Payments Act requires manufacturers of medical devices covered under Medicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program with specific exceptions to record payments and other transfers of value to a broad range of healthcare providers (including dentists) and teaching hospitals and to report this data as well as ownership and investments interests held by the physicians described above and their immediate family members to the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) for subsequent public disclosure. Similar reporting requirements have also been enacted on the state level, and an increasing number of countries worldwide either have adopted or are considering similar laws requiring transparency of interactions with health care professionals.
Federal consumer protection and unfair competition laws broadly regulate marketplace activities and activities that potentially harm consumers. Analogous U.S. state laws and regulations, such as state anti-kickback and false claims laws, also may apply to our business practices, including but not limited to, research, distribution, sales and marketing arrangements and claims involving healthcare items or services reimbursed by any third-party payor, including private insurers. Further, there are state laws that require medical device manufacturers to comply with the voluntary compliance guidelines and the relevant compliance guidance promulgated by the U.S. federal government, or otherwise restrict payments that may be made to healthcare providers and other potential referral sources; state laws and regulations that require manufacturers to file reports relating to pricing and marketing information, which requires tracking gifts and other remuneration and items of value provided to healthcare professionals and entities; state and local laws requiring the registration of sales representatives; and state laws governing the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other in significant ways and often are not preempted by HIPAA, thus complicating compliance efforts.
For a discussion of risks related to regulation by the FDA and comparable agencies of other countries, and the other regulatory regimes referenced above, please refer to section entitled “Risk Factors.”
Healthcare Reform
In the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, there have been, and we expect there will continue to be, a number of legislative and regulatory changes to the healthcare system. There is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality or expanding access. For example, in the U.S., in March 2010, the PPACA was signed into law, which substantially changed the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers and significantly affected the healthcare industry. The PPACA imposes on medical device manufacturers a 2.3% excise tax on U.S. sales of certain medical devices. The excise tax has been suspended until the end of 2019, but is expected to be reinstated beginning in 2020. Since its enactment, there have been judicial, Congressional and executive challenges to certain aspects of the PPACA, and we expect there will be additional challenges and amendments to the PPACA in the future.
Moreover, there has recently been heightened governmental scrutiny over the manner in which manufacturers set prices for their marketed products, which has resulted in several Congressional inquiries and proposed and enacted legislation designed, among other things, to bring more transparency to product pricing, review the relationship between pricing and manufacturer patient programs and reform government program reimbursement methodologies for medical products. Individual states in the U.S. have also become increasingly active in implementing regulations designed to control product pricing, including price or patient reimbursement constraints, discounts, restrictions on certain product access and marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures and, in some cases, mechanisms to encourage importation from other countries and bulk purchasing.

Coverage and Reimbursement
Dental procedures and products are often paid for out-of-pocket. For products where third-party coverage and reimbursement is available, sales will depend, in part, on the extent to which such product will be covered by third-party payors, such as federal, state and foreign government healthcare programs, commercial insurance and managed healthcare organizations, and the level of reimbursement for such product by third-party payors. Decisions regarding the extent of coverage and amount of reimbursement to be provided are made on a plan-by-plan basis. These third-party payors are increasingly reducing reimbursements for medical products and services and, in international markets, many countries have instituted price ceilings on specific products and therapies. Price ceilings, decreases in third-party reimbursement for any product or a decision by a third-party payor not to cover a product could reduce dentist usage and patient demand for the product.
Data Privacy and Security Laws
Medical device manufacturers may be subject to U.S. federal and state health information privacy, security and data breach notification laws, which may govern the collection, use, disclosure and protection of health-related and other personal information. State laws may be more stringent, broader in scope or offer greater individual rights with respect to protected health information, or PHI, than HIPAA, and state laws may differ from each other, which may complicate compliance efforts.
The GDPR, enforceable as of May 25, 2018, imposes many requirements for covered businesses (controllers and processors) of personal data, including, for example, higher standards for obtaining consent from individuals to process their personal data, more robust disclosures to individuals and a strengthened individual data rights regime, shortened timelines for data breach notifications, limitations on retention and secondary use of information, increased requirements pertaining to health data and pseudonymised (i.e., key-coded) data and additional obligations when we contract third party processors in connection with the processing of the personal data. The GDPR allows EU member states certain flexibility to make additional laws and regulations concerning the same issues, including, for example, further limiting the processing of genetic, biometric or health data.

Environmental Laws and Regulations
Our operations and properties are subject to laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, including those governing air emissions, water discharges and waste management, and workplace health and safety. In addition, certain of our products are regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and comparable state regulatory agencies. For a discussion of the environmental laws and regulations that our operations, products and services are subject to and other environmental contingencies, please refer to Note 14 to the audited Combined Financial Statements included in this prospectus as well as the discussion above relating to dental amalgam. For a discussion of risks related to compliance with environmental and health and safety laws and risks related to past or future releases of, or exposures to, hazardous substances, please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Businesses.”

Export/Import Compliance
We are required to comply with various U.S. export/import control and economic sanctions laws, including the regulations administered by the U.S. Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control, which implement economic sanctions imposed against designated countries, governments and persons based on U.S. foreign policy and national security considerations, and the import regulatory activities of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Other nations’ governments have implemented similar export and import control regulations, which may affect our operations or transactions subject to their jurisdictions. For a discussion of risks related to export/import control and economic sanctions laws, please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Businesses.”

Properties
Our corporate headquarters are located in Brea, California in a facility that we lease. As of December 31, 2018 , our facilities included approximately 42 significant office, research and development, manufacturing and distribution facilities. 17 of these facilities are located in the U.S. in seven states and 25 are located outside the U.S. in 13 other countries, primarily in Europe and to a lesser extent in Asia, the rest of North America, Latin America and the Middle East. These facilities cover approximately 4.7 million square feet, of which approximately 2.8 million square feet are owned and approximately 1.9 million square feet are leased. Particularly outside the U.S., facilities often serve more than one business segment and may be used for multiple purposes, such as administration, sales, manufacturing, warehousing and/or distribution.
We consider our facilities suitable and adequate for the purposes for which they are used and do not anticipate difficulty in renewing existing leases as they expire or in finding alternative facilities. We believe our properties and equipment have been well-maintained. Please refer to Note 13 to the audited Combined Financial Statements included in this prospectus for additional information with respect to our lease commitments.

Controlled Company Exception
We intend to avail ourselves of the “controlled company” exemption under the corporate governance rules of the NYSE. Accordingly, we will not be required to have a majority of “independent directors” on our Board of Directors as defined under the rules of the NYSE; nor will we be required to have a Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee composed entirely of independent directors. The “controlled company” exemption does not modify the independence requirements for the Audit Committee, and we intend to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the NYSE, which require that our Audit Committee be composed of at least three members, at least one of whom will be independent upon the listing of our common stock, a majority of whom will be independent within 90 days of listing, and each of whom will be independent within one year of listing.
At such time that we cease to be a “controlled company” under the rules of the NYSE, our Board will take all action necessary to comply with NYSE corporate governance rules, including that the Board of Directors consists of a majority of independent directors and establishing certain committees composed entirely of independent directors, subject to a permitted “phase-in” period.
Director Independence
The Board has determined that          and          are independent directors under the applicable rules of the NYSE.

Committees of the Board of Directors
Effective immediately prior to the “when-issued” trading date of shares of common stock on the NYSE, the Board will have a standing Audit Committee, and effective upon the completion of this offering, the Board will have a standing Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Governance Committee.

In addition, the Board has determined that each of the members of the Audit Committee (other than Mr. Houghton) is independent, as defined by the rules of the NYSE and Section 10A(m)(3) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the NYSE rules require that our audit committee have at least one independent member upon the listing of our common stock, have a majority of independent members within 90 days of the date of this prospectus and be composed entirely of independent members within one year of the date of this prospectus. The Audit Committee will meet at least quarterly and will assist the Board in overseeing:
the quality and integrity of our financial statements;
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting;
the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent auditors;
the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditors;
our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; and
the risks described below under “Board’s Role in Risk Oversight.”
Compensation Committee . The initial members of the Compensation Committee will be          ,          and Ms. Blackwell, each of whom (other than Ms. Blackwell) is independent, as defined by the rules of the NYSE and Section 10C(a) of the Exchange Act. In addition, we expect that each of the members of the Compensation Committee (other than Ms. Blackwell) will qualify as “non-employee directors” for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. The Compensation Committee will discharge the Board’s responsibilities relating to the compensation of our executive officers, including setting goals and objectives for, evaluating the performance of, and approving the compensation paid to, our executive officers. The Compensation Committee will also:
review and discuss with Company management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and recommend to the Board the inclusion of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis in the annual meeting proxy statement;

monitor compliance by directors and executive officers with our stock ownership requirements;
assist the Board in overseeing the risks described below under “Board’s Role in Risk Oversight;”
prepare the report required by the SEC to be included in the annual meeting proxy statement; and

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 , we were not a separate or independent company and did not have a Compensation Committee or any other committee serving a similar function. Decisions as to the compensation for that fiscal year of those who will serve as our executive officers were made by Danaher, as described in the section of this prospectus captioned “Executive and Director Compensation.”
Corporate Governance
Stockholder Recommendations for Director Nominees
Our amended and restated bylaws will contain provisions that address the process by which a stockholder may nominate an individual to stand for election to the Board. We expect that the Board will adopt a policy concerning the evaluation of stockholder recommendations of Board candidates by the Nominating and Governance Committee.
Corporate Governance Guidelines
The Board is expected to adopt a set of Corporate Governance Guidelines in connection with the separation to assist it in guiding our governance practices. These practices will be regularly reevaluated by the Nominating and Governance Committee in light of changing circumstances in order to continue serving our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders. These guidelines will cover a number of areas, including the role of the Board of Directors, Board composition, director independence, director selection, qualification and election, director compensation, executive sessions, key Board responsibilities, CEO evaluation, succession planning, risk management, Board leadership and operations, conflicts of interest, annual Board assessments, Board committees, director orientation and continuing education, Board agenda, materials, information and presentations, director access to management and independent advisers, and Board communication with stockholders and others.

EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Introduction
Immediately prior to this offering, we will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Danaher. For purposes of this prospectus, our executive officers whose compensation is discussed in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis and whom we refer to as our named executive officers, or “NEOs,” are Mr. Aghdaei, President and Chief Executive Officer; Mr. Bludworth, Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer; Mr. Eriksson, Senior Vice President; Mr. Geiselhöringer, Senior Vice President; and Mr. Yu, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Decisions regarding past compensation of our NEOs have been made by their managers, with input from Danaher’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and by Danaher’s Compensation Committee.
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis discusses Danaher’s 2018 compensation programs, objectives and design framework, the process for determining 2018 compensation for our NEOs and how our future compensation programs, objectives and design framework are expected to operate. Our Board of Directors will form its own Compensation Committee and it may choose to change such programs, objectives and framework following the completion of this offering.
Objectives and Framework of Danaher’s Executive Compensation Program
Danaher Practice
With the goal of building long-term value for stockholders, Danaher has developed an executive compensation program designed to:
attract and retain executives with the leadership skills, attributes and experience necessary to succeed in an enterprise with Danaher’s size, diversity and global footprint;
motivate executives to demonstrate exceptional personal performance and perform consistently at or above the levels that Danaher expects, over the long-term and through a range of economic cycles; and
link compensation to the achievement of corporate goals that Danaher believes best correlate with the creation of long-term stockholder value.
To achieve these objectives Danaher’s compensation program combines annual and long-term components, cash and equity, and fixed and variable elements, with a bias toward long-term equity awards tied closely to stockholder returns and subject to significant vesting and/or holding periods. Danaher’s executive compensation program rewards executive officers when they build long-term stockholder value, achieve annual business goals and maintain long-term careers with Danaher.
Danaher’s compensation program is grounded on the principle that each executive must consistently demonstrate exceptional personal performance in order to remain a Danaher executive. Within the framework of this principle and the other objectives discussed above, the Danaher Compensation Committee exercises its judgment in making executive compensation decisions. The factors that generally shape particular executive compensation decisions (none of which are assigned any particular weight by such Committee) are the following:
The relative complexity and importance of the executive’s position within Danaher. To ensure that the most senior executives are held most accountable for long-term operating results and changes in stockholder value, the Danaher Compensation Committee believes that both the amount and “at-risk” nature of compensation should increase with the relative complexity and significance of an executive’s position.
The executive’s record of performance, long-term leadership potential and tenure.
Danaher’s performance. Danaher’s cash incentive compensation varies annually to reflect near-term changes in operating and financial results. Its long-term compensation is closely aligned with long-term stockholder value creation, both by tying the ultimate value of the awards to long-term stockholder returns and because of the length of time executives are required to hold the awards before realizing their value.
Assessment of pay levels and practices in the competitive marketplace. Danaher’s Compensation Committee considers market practice in determining pay levels and compensation design to ensure that Danaher’s costs are sustainable relative to peers and compensation is appropriately positioned to attract and retain talented executives.

109

Table of Contents --------------

Going Forward
Our executive compensation objectives and framework will initially be similar to Danaher’s. Following the completion of this offering, our Compensation Committee will review these objectives and framework to ensure they meet our business needs and strategic objectives.
Role of Independent Compensation Consultant and Management
Danaher Practice
Independent Compensation Consultant Role in Supporting the Compensation Committee
Under the terms of its charter, the Danaher Compensation Committee has the authority to engage the services of outside advisors and experts. The Danaher Compensation Committee has engaged Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (“FW Cook”) as its independent compensation consultant since 2008. In addition to the director compensation advice provided to Danaher’s Nominating and Governance Committee, FW Cook’s primary responsibilities in 2018 were to:
provide advice and data in connection with the structuring of Danaher’s executive and equity compensation programs and the compensation levels for Danaher’s executive officers compared to their peers;
provide advice and data in connection with the structuring of our executive and equity compensation programs, and the compensation levels for our executive officers compared to their peers;
assess Danaher’s executive compensation program in the context of compensation governance best practices;
update Danaher’s Compensation Committee regarding legislative and regulatory initiatives and other trends in the area of executive compensation;
provide data regarding the share dilution costs attributable to Danaher’s equity compensation program; and
assist in the preparation of Danaher’s executive compensation public disclosures.
Management Role in Supporting the Compensation Committee
Danaher’s Senior Vice President-Human Resources, Vice President-Compensation and Secretary generally attend, and from time-to-time Danaher’s CEO and CFO attend, the Danaher Compensation Committee meetings. In particular, Danaher’s CEO:
provides background regarding the interrelationship between Danaher’s business objectives and executive compensation matters and advises on the alignment of incentive plan performance measures with Danaher’s overall strategy;
participates in the discussions of the Danaher Compensation Committee regarding the performance and compensation of the other Danaher executive officers and provides recommendations to Danaher’s Compensation Committee regarding all significant elements of compensation paid to such officers, their annual, personal performance objectives and his evaluation of their performance (Danaher’s Compensation Committee gives considerable weight to the evaluation and recommendations of Danaher’s CEO with respect to the other Danaher executive officers because of his direct knowledge of each such officer’s performance and contributions); and
provides feedback regarding the companies that he believes Danaher competes with in the marketplace and for executive talent.  
Danaher’s human resources and legal departments also assist the Chair of the Danaher Compensation Committee in scheduling and setting the agendas for the Committee’s meetings, prepare meeting materials and provide the Committee with data relating to executive compensation as requested by the Committee.
Going Forward
We expect that our Compensation Committee will engage an independent compensation consultant following the completion of this offering, and that the roles of such consultant and of our management in connection with the executive compensation process will be similar to Danaher’s approach.
Peer Group Compensation Analysis
Danaher Practice
The Danaher Compensation Committee does not target a specific competitive position versus the market or peer companies in determining the compensation of Danaher’s named executive officers because in light of Danaher’s diverse mix of businesses,

strict targeting of a specified compensation posture would not appropriately reflect the unique nature of Danaher’s business portfolio or the degree of difficulty in leading Danaher and key functions. However, the Danaher Compensation Committee believes it is important to clearly understand the relevant market for executive talent to inform its decision-making and ensure that Danaher’s executive compensation program for its named executive officers supports its recruitment and retention needs and is fair and efficient. As a result, the Danaher Compensation Committee has worked with FW Cook to develop a peer group for purposes of assessing competitive compensation practices, and periodically reviews compensation data for the peer group derived from publicly filed proxy statements. The Danaher Compensation Committee selected companies for inclusion in this peer group based on (1) the extent to which they compete with Danaher in one or more lines of business, for executive talent and for investors, and (2) comparability of revenues, market capitalization, net income, total assets and number of employees. Prior to July 2018, Danaher’s peer group consisted of the companies set forth below (effective July 2018, Danaher's Compensation Committee replaced Dover Corp. with Roper Corporation):
3M Company
Dover Corp.
Stryker Corporation
Abbott Laboratories
Ecolab Inc.

Baxter International, Inc.
E. I. Du Pont De Nemours and Company
United Technologies Corp.
Becton Dickinson & Co.
Honeywell International Inc.
Zimmer Biomet Holdings
Boston Scientific Corporation
Medtronic Inc.
 
Going Forward
The Danaher Compensation Committee, with recommendations from FW Cook, adopted an Envista peer group to help inform its decision-making with respect to our executive compensation program and ensure that such program supports our recruitment and retention needs and is fair and efficient. The Danaher Compensation Committee selected companies for inclusion in this peer group based on (1) the extent to which they compete with us in one or more lines of business and for executive talent, and (2) comparability of revenues, market capitalization, net income, total assets and number of employees. Our compensation peer group is comprised of the following companies:
Align Technology, Inc.
Hologic, Inc.
PerkinElmer, Inc.
The Cooper Companies, Inc.
ICU Medical, Inc.
ResMed Inc.
DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc.

Going Forward
The primary elements of our executive compensation program, and mix thereof, will initially be similar to Danaher’s, though the type of full-value awards to be used in the program has not been determined. Following the completion of this offering, our Compensation Committee will review the primary elements of our executive compensation program, and mix thereof, to ensure they meet our business needs and strategic objectives. This will include a review of base salary as well as short-term and long-term incentive programs and other compensation.
2018 NEO Compensation Decisions
Long-Term Incentive Awards
2018 Target Award Values
In February 2018, the Danaher Compensation Committee subjectively determined the target dollar value of equity compensation to be delivered to our NEOs in 2018, taking into account each of the following factors (none of which was assigned a particular weight by the Danaher Compensation Committee):
the relative complexity and importance of the officer’s position;

112

Table of Contents --------------

the officer’s performance record and potential to contribute to future Danaher and Envista performance and assume additional leadership responsibility;
the risk/reward ratio of the award amount compared to the length of the related vesting and holding provisions; and
the amount of equity compensation necessary to provide sufficient retention incentives in light of compensation levels within Danaher’s peer group and the officer’s historical compensation.
2018 Equity Award Mix
With respect to Mr. Aghdaei’s 2018 equity awards, one-half of the award was delivered as stock options, one-quarter as RSUs and one-quarter as PSUs. With respect to the 2018 equity awards of Messrs. Bludworth, Eriksson, Geiselhöringer and Yu, one-half of the award was delivered as stock options and one-half of the award was delivered as RSUs.
The Danaher Compensation Committee believes that the combination of stock options and full-value awards effectively balances the goals of incentivizing and rewarding stockholder value creation while supporting talent retention objectives:
Stock options and PSUs inherently incentivize stockholder value creation, since option holders realize no value unless Danaher’s stock price rises after the option grant date and the value of PSUs is tied directly to Danaher’s relative TSR performance.
Danaher’s stock options and RSUs vest over five years and Danaher’s PSUs are subject to three-year vesting and a further two-year holding period. In aggregate, these periods are longer than typical for Danaher’s peer group, promote stability and encourage officers to take a long-term view of Danaher’s performance.
Danaher’s stock option award program in particular has contributed significantly to Danaher’s strong performance record, which in turn has generally made Danaher stock option awards valuable over the long-term and highly effective in recruiting, motivating and retaining skilled officers.
While RSUs and PSUs offer more modest upside potential than stock options, during periods of stock market declines or modest growth they are more likely to support talent retention objectives.
2018 PSU Performance Criteria
In designing the performance criteria applicable to PSUs, the Danaher Compensation Committee established threshold, target and maximum performance levels and established a payout percentage curve that relates each level of performance to a payout expressed as a percentage of the target PSUs:
PSU Performance Level (Relative TSR Rank Within S&P 500 Index)
 
Payout
Percentage
Below 35 th  percentile
 
0%
35 th  percentile
 
50%
55 th  percentile
 
100%
75 th  percentile or above
 
200%
The payout percentages for performance between the performance levels indicated above are determined by linear interpolation. Notwithstanding the above, if Danaher’s absolute TSR performance for the period is negative, no more than 100% of the target PSUs will vest (regardless of how strong Danaher’s performance is on a relative basis), and if Danaher’s absolute TSR performance for the period is positive, a minimum of 25% of the target PSUs will vest. The Danaher Compensation Committee chose the S&P 500 Index as the relative TSR comparator group because the index consists of a broad and stable group of companies that represents investors’ alternative capital investment opportunities, reinforcing the linkage between Danaher’s executive compensation program and the long-term interests of Danaher’s stockholders.
Any PSUs that vest following the three-year performance period are subject to an additional two-year holding period and are paid out in shares of Danaher common stock following the fifth anniversary of the commencement of the performance period. Vesting is contingent on continued employment throughout the three-year performance period and until the Danaher Compensation Committee certifies satisfaction of the performance criteria, except that in the event of death during the performance period the executive receives a prorated portion of the target award based on the percentage of the performance period during which the executive was employed, and in the event of retirement during the performance period the executive receives a prorated portion of the shares actually earned based on Danaher’s performance over the performance period. Any dividends paid on Danaher’s common stock during the performance period are credited to PSU accounts, but are only paid out

113

(in cash) to the extent the underlying PSUs vest based on performance and are not paid until the shares underlying the vested PSUs are issued.
Annual Incentive Awards
Our NEOs participate in Danaher’s incentive compensation program for senior leaders of Danaher operating companies (the “Senior Leader Incentive Program”). Under the Senior Leader Incentive Program performance formula effective for 2018, each of our NEOs was eligible to receive a bonus equal to his target bonus amount multiplied by (i) a factor determined based on the 2018 performance of his business against pre-established targets based on the metrics described below, subject to adjustment in the discretion of Danaher senior management (“Senior Leader Business Metrics”), and (ii) a factor determined by his respective manager based on a subjective review of his performance against his annual personal performance goals and other considerations in the manager’s discretion (the “Personal Performance Factor”):
The 2018 Senior Leader Business Metrics were (i) operating profit, a key contributor to stockholder returns and important barometer of the overall health of the business, (ii) core sales growth, a critical measure of the business’s ability to increase customer demand for services and products over time, and (iii) working capital turnover, an important indicator of how efficiently the business is managing the relationship between money used to fund operations and the sales generated from those operations.
For 2018, the target bonus percentages and personal objectives for each NEO are set forth below:
Named Executive Officer
2018 Target Bonus Percentage
2018 Personal Objectives
Mr. Aghdaei
80%
Mr. Aghdaei’s performance objectives consisted of quantitative goals for his business units related to capital deployment, financial and revenue growth and talent-related metrics; and qualitative goals relating to the strategic plan for his business units.
Mr. Bludworth
45% (January 1 - June 30)
60% (July 1 - December 31)
Mr. Bludworth’s performance objectives consisted of quantitative goals related to compliance initiatives and human resources and talent-related metrics; and qualitative goals relating to human resources engagement.
Mr. Eriksson
55%
Mr. Eriksson’s performance objectives consisted of quantitative goals related to financial and revenue growth and human resources and talent -related metrics; and qualitative goals relating to the strategic plan for his business unit.
Mr. Geiselhöringer
55%
Mr. Geiselhöringer’s performance objectives consisted of quantitative goals related to capital deployment and talent-related metrics; and qualitative goals relating to the strategic plan for his business unit.
Mr. Yu
40% (January 1 - September 30)
50% (October 1 - December 31)
Mr. Yu’s performance objectives consisted of quantitative goals related to audit and risk management, financial and revenue growth and human resources and talent-related metrics; and qualitative goals relating to the strategic plan for his business unit.
In determining the target bonus percentage for each NEO, consideration was given as applicable to the amount of annual cash incentive compensation awarded to the officer in prior years, the relative complexity and importance of the position, the amount of annual cash incentive compensation paid with respect to similar positions at other Danaher businesses and market-based annual cash incentive compensation amounts for such role. Danaher provided Mr. Bludworth with a 2018 annual bonus opportunity equal to the greater of (i) 60% of his base salary and (ii) the amount that he would receive based on his Personal Performance Factor and the performance level achieved by his business with respect to the Senior Leader Business Metrics. Based on the Personal Performance Factor determined with respect to each NEO and the performance level achieved by his business with respect to the Senior Leader Business Metrics, the NEO’s manager, with the input of Danaher’s CEO, approved the 2018 annual cash incentive compensation award reflected in the 2018 Summary Compensation Table. Please refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations” for additional information regarding the core sales measure.
Base Salaries
The 2018 base salaries of our NEOs were determined by their managers, using their prior year’s base salary as the initial basis of consideration and also taking into account personal performance in the prior year and the market value of their roles. Given that base salary is one of the elements in the formula for determining annual cash incentive compensation, consideration was also given to how changes in base salary would impact the annual cash incentive compensation of each of our NEOs.

Other Compensation
Severance Benefits . Danaher has entered into a Proprietary Interest Agreement with each of Messrs. Aghdaei, Bludworth, Eriksson and Yu that sets forth certain post-employment restrictive covenant obligations. In addition, each of Messrs. Aghdaei, Bludworth, Eriksson and Yu participates in Danaher’s Senior Leader Severance Pay Plan, which also provides for severance payments under certain circumstances. Danaher believes that the post-employment restrictive covenant obligations included in the Proprietary Interest Agreement are critical in protecting its proprietary assets, and that the severance payments payable under the above-mentioned plan upon a termination without cause are generally commensurate with the severance rights Danaher’s peers offer executives in comparable roles.
EDIP . Messrs. Aghdaei, Bludworth and Eriksson participate in the Amended and Restated Danaher Corporation & Subsidiaries Executive Deferred Incentive Program, or Danaher EDIP. The Danaher EDIP is a stockholder-approved, non-qualified, unfunded excess contribution (and until December 31, 2018, voluntary deferred compensation) program available to selected members of our management. Danaher uses the Danaher EDIP to tax-effectively contribute amounts to executives’ retirement accounts and give its executives an opportunity to defer taxes on cash compensation and realize tax-deferred, market-based notional investment growth on their deferrals. The amount Danaher contributes annually to the executives’ Danaher EDIP accounts is set at a level that it believes is competitive with comparable plans offered by other companies in Danaher’s industry. Danaher EDIP participants do not fully vest in such amounts contributed by Danaher until they have participated in the program for 15 years or have reached age 55 with at least five years of service with Danaher. Beginning in 2019, the Danaher EDIP no longer provides for voluntary deferrals and instead executive officers and other selected members of Danaher’s management may defer cash compensation under Danaher’s Deferred Compensation Plan.
Benefits and Perquisites . Each of our NEOs is eligible to participate in Danaher employee benefit plans, including group medical, dental, vision, disability, accidental death and dismemberment, life insurance, flexible spending and 401(k) plans, or in the case of Mr. Geiselhöringer, the non-US equivalent. These Danaher plans are generally available to all salaried employees in the applicable jurisdictions and do not discriminate in favor of our NEOs. In addition, certain perquisites were made available to our NEOs (see the footnotes to the “Summary Compensation Table” for additional details). Danaher believes these limited perquisites help make executive compensation competitive, are generally commensurate with the perquisites offered by peers, and are cost-effective in that the perceived value of these items is higher than its actual cost. The Danaher Compensation Committee has adopted a policy prohibiting any tax reimbursement or gross-up provisions in its executive compensation program (except under a policy applicable to management employees generally such as a relocation policy).
Going Forward
Long-Term Incentive Awards
It is expected that Danaher equity awards outstanding at the time of the completion of this offering will remain outstanding in accordance with the terms of such Danaher equity awards. Outstanding Danaher equity awards held by our employees at the time of the distribution (if pursued) generally will be converted entirely into equivalent awards with respect to our common stock at the time of the distribution, with adjustments to preserve the aggregate value of the awards.
Following the completion of this offering, our long-term incentive award program will initially be similar to Danaher’s program, though the type of full-value awards to be used in the program has not been determined. Our Compensation Committee will review the program with the goal of ensuring it is effective in attracting, retaining and motivating skilled executives and aligning the interests of management and stockholders.
Short-Term Incentive Awards
Following the completion of this offering, our Compensation Committee will develop a short-term incentive plan focused on near-term operational and financial goals that support our long-term business objectives, while also allowing for meaningful pay differentiation tied to performance of individuals and groups.
Base Salary
Our Compensation Committee will set base salary levels for officers taking into account base salary levels for positions with similar roles and scope of responsibilities within our peer group, as well as personal performance.
Other Compensation
Our retirement and severance programs and benefits will generally be similar to those of Danaher immediately prior to completion of this offering. Our Compensation Committee will review these programs and benefits and may make changes to align them with our business needs and strategic priorities. In addition, we anticipate that our Compensation Committee will approve for our NEOs perquisites comparable to those offered by our peers, and will adopt a policy prohibiting any tax

reimbursement or gross-up provisions in our executive compensation program (except under a policy applicable to management employees generally such as a relocation policy).
Additional Compensation Matters
Long-Term Incentive Compensation Grant Practices
Danaher Practice
Danaher’s Compensation Committee grants equity awards under Danaher’s 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Executive equity awards are approved at regularly scheduled Danaher Compensation Committee meetings (typically scheduled in advance of the calendar year in which they occur), at the time of an executive hire or promotion or upon identification of a specific retention concern. The grant date of equity awards approved by the Danaher Compensation Committee is either the date of Committee approval or a date subsequent to the approval date as specified by the Committee. The timing of equity awards has not been coordinated with the release of material non-public information. The Danaher Compensation Committee’s general practice is to approve annual equity awards to executives at the Committee’s regularly scheduled meeting in February, when the Committee reviews the performance of the executive officers and typically determines the other components of executive compensation.
The target dollar value attributable to PSUs and RSUs is translated into a target number of PSUs and RSUs, respectively, using a fair market value equal to the average closing price over a twenty trading-day period ending on the grant date, to avoid the potential volatility impact of using a single-day closing price.
The target dollar value attributable to stock options is translated into a number of stock options based on (1) a fair market value equal to the average closing price over a twenty trading-day period, and (2) the other Black-Scholes inputs used for the first grant date of the calendar year (but using the full 10-year term of the option as the assumed life). The exercise price for stock option awards granted under Danaher’s 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan equals the closing price of Danaher’s common stock on the date of grant. Since these valuation methodologies are not the same as the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718 grant date fair value used for accounting purposes, the equity award target dollar values are not the same as the equity award grant date fair values reflected in the Summary Compensation Table.
Going Forward
We anticipate that our long-term incentive compensation grant practices initially will be comparable to those of Danaher. Following the completion of this offering, our Compensation Committee and management will review such practices to ensure they meet our business and strategic needs and the objectives of our executive compensation program.

Risk Considerations
Danaher Practice
Risk-taking is a necessary part of growing a business, and prudent risk management is necessary to deliver long-term, sustainable stockholder value. The Danaher Compensation Committee believes that Danaher’s executive compensation program supports the objectives described above without encouraging inappropriate or excessive risk-taking. In reaching this conclusion, the Danaher Compensation Committee considered in particular the following risk-mitigation attributes of Danaher’s compensation program.
Attribute
Key Risk Mitigating Effect
Emphasis on long-term, equity-based compensation

Five-year vesting requirement for equity awards (or in the case of PSUs, three-year vesting and a further two-year holding period)

Rigorous, no-fault clawback policy that is triggered even in the absence of wrongdoing
Discourages risk-taking that produces short-term results at the expense of building long-term stockholder value

Helps ensure executives realize their compensation over time horizon consistent with achieving long-term stockholder value
Incentive compensation programs feature multiple, different performance measures aligned with business strategy
Mitigates incentive to over-perform with respect to any particular metric at the expense of other metrics
Cap on annual cash incentive compensation plan payments and on number of shares that may be earned under equity awards
Mitigates incentive to over-perform with respect to any particular performance period at the expense of future periods
Stock ownership requirements for all executive officers

No hedging of Danaher securities permitted
Aligns executives’ economic interests with the long-term interests of Danaher’s stockholders
Independent compensation consultant
Helps ensure advice will not be influenced by conflicts of interest
Going forward
We anticipate that our compensation programs and overall design, and therefore the risk and risk mitigation profile of our compensation programs, will initially be similar to those of Danaher. Following the completion of this offering, our Compensation Committee will review the compensation programs and design and may make certain changes to align them with our compensation philosophy and view of our business needs and strategic priorities, taking into account risk and risk mitigation considerations.
Stock Ownership Policies
Danaher Practice
To help align management and stockholder interests and discourage inappropriate or excessive risk-taking, Danaher’s stock ownership policy requires each executive officer to obtain a substantial equity stake in Danaher within five years of his or her appointment to an executive position, as follows:
Chief Executive Officer
5 times base salary
Executive Vice President
3 times base salary
Senior Vice President
2 times base salary
What counts as ownership:
What does not count as ownership:
Shares in which the executive or his or her spouse or child has a direct or indirect interest

Notional shares of Danaher stock in the EDIP

Shares held in a 401(k) plan

Unvested RSUs/PSUs (based on target number of shares until vested and then based on the actual number of vested shares)
Unexercised stock options

117

Table of Contents --------------

Once an executive officer has acquired a number of Danaher shares that satisfies the ownership multiple then applicable to him or her, such number of shares then becomes his or her minimum ownership requirement (even if the officer’s salary increases or the fair market value of such shares subsequently changes) until he or she is promoted to a higher level.
Going Forward
We expect to adopt substantially similar stock ownership requirements following the completion of this offering.
Pledging and Hedging Policy
Danaher Practice
Danaher’s Board has adopted a policy that prohibits any director or executive officer from pledging as security under any obligation any shares of Danaher common stock that he or she directly or indirectly owns and controls (other than shares already pledged as of February 21, 2013), and provides that pledged shares of Danaher common stock do not count toward Danaher’s stock ownership requirements. None of our NEOs have pledged any shares of Danaher common stock. Danaher policy also prohibits Danaher employees (including each of our NEOs) and directors from engaging in any transactions involving a derivative of a Danaher security, including hedging transactions.
Going Forward
Following the completion of this offering, we expect to adopt a policy prohibiting (1) any of our directors or executive officers from pledging as security under any obligation any of our shares of common stock that he or she directly or indirectly owns and controls, and (2) any of our directors or employees from engaging in any transactions involving a derivative of our securities, including hedging transactions.
Recoupment Policy
Danaher Practice
To further discourage inappropriate or excessive risk-taking, Danaher’s Compensation Committee has adopted a recoupment (or clawback) policy applicable to Danaher’s executive officers, other individuals who serve on the Danaher Leadership Team (which consists primarily of Danaher corporate officers) and certain other employees (the “covered persons”), including Mr. Aghdaei. Under the policy, in the event of a material restatement of Danaher’s consolidated financial statements (other than any restatement required pursuant to a change in applicable accounting rules), Danaher’s Board may, to the extent permitted by law and to the extent it determines that it is in Danaher’s best interests to do so, in addition to all other remedies available to Danaher require reimbursement or payment to Danaher of:
the portion of any annual incentive compensation payment awarded to any covered person within the three year period prior to the date such material restatement is first publicly disclosed that would not have been awarded had the consolidated financial statements that are the subject of such restatement been correctly stated (except that Danaher’s Board has the right to require reimbursement of the entire amount of any such annual incentive compensation payment from any covered person whose fraud or other intentional misconduct in the Board’s judgment alone or with others caused such restatement); and
all gains from equity awards granted on or after March 15, 2009 realized by any covered person during the twelve-month period immediately following the original filing of the consolidated financial statements that are the subject of such restatement, if the covered person’s fraud or other intentional misconduct in the Board’s judgment alone or with others caused such restatement.
In addition, the stock plans in which Danaher’s executive officers participate contain provisions for recovering awards upon certain circumstances. Under the terms of Danaher’s 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan, if an employee is terminated for gross misconduct, the administrator may terminate up to all of the participant’s unexercised or unvested equity awards. In addition, under the terms of the Danaher EDIP, if termination of an employee’s participation in the plan resulted from the employee’s gross misconduct, the administrator may determine that the employee’s vesting percentage is zero with respect to all balances that were contributed by Danaher.
Going Forward
Following the completion of this offering, our Compensation Committee is expected to adopt similar recoupment policies to ensure that incentive compensation paid as the result of a material restatement of our consolidated financial statements (other than any restatement required pursuant to a change in applicable accounting rules), or as a result of fraud or misconduct as applicable, would be recoverable.

Regulatory Considerations
Danaher Practice
Section 162(m) generally disallows a tax deduction to public corporations for compensation in excess of $1 million paid for any fiscal year to certain executive officers. The exemption from Section 162(m)’s deduction limit for performance-based compensation has been repealed, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, such that compensation paid to covered executive officers in excess of $1 million will not be deductible unless it qualifies for transition relief applicable to certain arrangements in place as of November 2, 2017.
Danaher reviews the tax impact of executive compensation on Danaher as well as on the executive officers. In addition, Danaher reviews the impact of its compensation programs against other considerations, such as accounting impact, stockholder alignment, market competitiveness, effectiveness and perceived value to employees. Because many different factors influence a well-rounded, comprehensive and effective executive compensation program, some of the compensation provided to Danaher’s executive officers is not deductible under Section 162(m).
Going Forward
We expect that, similar to the approach followed by Danaher’s Compensation Committee, following the completion of this offering our Compensation Committee will review the tax impact of executive compensation on us as well as on our executive officers in addition to taking into account other considerations such as accounting impact, stockholder alignment, market competitiveness, effectiveness and perceived value to employees. Because many different factors influence a well-rounded, comprehensive and effective executive compensation program, we expect that some of the compensation provided to our executive officers will not be deductible under Section 162(m).

One quarter of Mr. Aghdaei’s 2018 annual equity award was granted in the form of restricted stock units and one-quarter was granted in the form of performance stock units that vest based on Danaher’s TSR ranking relative to the S&P 500 Index over a three-year performance period (the balance of the annual equity award was granted in stock options). One half of the 2018 annual equity award for each of Messrs. Yu, Bludworth, Eriksson, and Geiselhöringer was granted in the form of restricted stock units (the balance of the annual equity award was granted in stock options). With respect to restricted stock units, the grant date fair value under FASB ASC Topic 718 is calculated based on the number of shares of Danaher common stock underlying the RSU, times the closing price of the Danaher common stock on the date of grant (but discounted to account for the fact that the RSUs do not accrue dividend rights prior to vesting and distribution). With respect to Mr. Aghdaei’s performance stock units, the grant date fair value under FASB ASC Topic 718 has been calculated based on the probable outcome of the applicable performance conditions and a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model modified to reflect an illiquidity discount (as a result of the mandatory two-year post-vesting holding period), using the following significant assumptions (since the performance criteria applicable to the performance stock units is considered a “market condition,” footnote disclosure of the award’s potential maximum value is not required):

(1)  
With respect to the unexercisable options and unvested PSUs and RSUs reflected in the table above, the footnotes below describe the vesting terms applicable to the entire award of which such options, PSUs or RSUs are a part.
(2)  
Market value is calculated based on the closing price of Danaher’s common stock on December 31, 2018 as reported on the NYSE ($103.12 per share), times the number of shares.
(3)  
The option award was granted subject to time-based vesting conditions such that one-third of the award became or becomes exercisable on each of the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant date.
(4)  
The RSU award was granted subject to time-based vesting conditions such that one-third of the award vests on each of the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant date, and the achievement of performance-based vesting conditions. Other than with respect to the RSU award granted to Mr. Aghdaei on July 15, 2018, Danaher’s Compensation Committee has certified that the performance criteria applicable to this award have been satisfied. Each time-based vesting tranche of the RSUs granted to Mr. Aghdaei on July 15, 2018 are subject to Danaher’s achievement of four consecutive quarters of positive net income, during the period commencing at the beginning of the quarter in which such grant was made and ending on or before the date on which the time-based vesting with respect to such tranche is scheduled to be satisfied.
(5)  
The number of shares of Danaher common stock that vest pursuant to the PSU award is based on Danaher’s TSR ranking relative to the S&P 500 Index over a three-year performance period. Payout at 100% of the target level requires that Danaher achieve above-median performance and rank at the 55th percentile of the S&P 500 Index, while the PSUs pay out at 200% for performance that equals or exceeds the 75th percentile, 50% for performance at the 35th percentile and zero percent for performance below the 35th percentile. The payout percentages for performance between the performance levels are determined by linear interpolation. Notwithstanding the above, if Danaher’s absolute TSR performance for the period is negative a maximum of 100% of the target PSUs will vest (regardless of how strong Danaher’s performance is on a relative basis), and if Danaher’s absolute TSR performance for the period is positive a minimum of 25% of the target PSUs will vest. Any PSUs that vest following the three-year performance period are subject to an additional two-year holding period and are paid out in shares of Danaher’s common stock following the fifth anniversary of the commencement of the performance period. In the case of the PSUs granted in 2017 and 2018, the number of PSU shares and payout value reported in the table reflect maximum-level performance.
(6)  
The option award was granted subject to time-based vesting conditions such that one-fifth of the award became or becomes exercisable on each of the first five anniversaries of the grant date.
(7)  
The RSU award was granted subject to time-based vesting conditions such that one-fifth of the award vests on each of the first five anniversaries of the grant date.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-of-Control as of 2018 Fiscal Year-End
The following table describes the payments and benefits that each of our NEOs would be entitled to receive upon termination of employment or in connection with a change-of-control of Danaher. The amounts set forth below assume that the triggering event occurred on December 31, 2018. Where benefits are based on the market value of Danaher’s common stock, we have used the closing price of Danaher’s common stock as reported on the NYSE on December 31, 2018 ($103.12 per share). In addition to the amounts set forth below, upon any termination of employment our NEOs would also be entitled to:

126

Table of Contents --------------

receive all payments generally provided to salaried employees on a non-discriminatory basis upon termination, such as accrued salary, life insurance proceeds (for any termination caused by death), unused vacation and Danaher 401(k) plan distributions;
potentially receive an annual cash incentive compensation award pursuant to the Danaher 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan, since under the terms of the award a participant who remains employed through the end of the annual performance period is eligible for an award under the plan;
receive accrued, vested balances under the Danaher EDIP (provided that under the Danaher EDIP, if an employee’s employment terminates as a result of gross misconduct, the administrator may determine that the employee’s vesting percentage with respect to all Danaher contributions is zero); and
exercise vested stock options (provided that under the terms of the Danaher 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan, if an employee is terminated for gross misconduct, the administrator may terminate up to all of the participant’s unexercised or unvested equity awards).

The values reflected in the table above and the footnotes below relating to the acceleration of stock options, RSUs and PSUs reflect the intrinsic value (that is, the value based on the price of Danaher’s common stock, and in the case of stock options minus the exercise price) of the options, RSUs and PSUs (with respect to PSUs, assuming target-level performance in the case of death before the end of the relevant performance period and actual performance in the case of death following the conclusion of the relevant performance period, as applicable, and in the case of retirement, termination without cause or change-of-control, if applicable, assuming maximum-level performance for PSUs) that would vest or would have vested as a result of the specified event of termination or change-of-control occurring as of December 31, 2018.
(1)  
The tabular disclosure assumes that upon a change-of-control of Danaher (as defined in the Danaher 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan), Danaher’s Board does not accelerate the vesting of any unvested RSUs, PSUs or stock options held by our NEOs. If a change-of-control had occurred as of December 31, 2018 and Danaher’s Board had allowed all of the unvested

128

Table of Contents --------------

RSUs, PSUs and stock options held by our NEOs to accelerate, the intrinsic value of the stock options, RSUs and PSUs that would have been accelerated would have been as follows (no tax reimbursement or gross-up payments would have been triggered by such accelerations): Stock options: Mr. Aghdaei, $3,859,013; Mr. Yu, $256,168; Mr. Bludworth, $472,185; Mr. Eriksson, $416,679; and Mr. Geiselhöringer, $733,607. RSUs and PSUs: Mr. Aghdaei, $8,901,956; Mr. Yu, $485,281; Mr. Bludworth, $877,242; Mr. Eriksson, $873,839; and Mr. Geiselhöringer, $1,292,919.
(2)  
For Mr. Geiselhöringer, the value reflected in this column includes amounts payable upon a termination of employment by Danaher other than as a result of gross misconduct.
(3)  
The terms of the Danaher 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan provide for accelerated vesting of a participant’s stock options and a pro rata portion of a participant’s RSUs and PSUs (at target value) if the participant dies during employment.
(4)  
If Mr. Aghdaei had retired as of December 31, 2018, he would have qualified for “early retirement” treatment under the terms of the Danaher 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which provides for continued vesting of a pro rata portion of the participant’s stock options, RSUs and PSUs (based on the actual performance level achieved) upon early retirement.
(5)  
Please see “Danaher Employment Agreements” and “Danaher Employee Benefit Plans” for a description of the cash payments each officer would be entitled to if Danaher terminates the officer’s employment without cause, as well as a description of the post-employment restrictive covenant obligations of each officer. The amounts set forth in the table assume that the officer would have executed Danaher’s standard release in connection with any termination without cause.
(6)  
Under the terms of the Danaher EDIP, upon a participant’s death the unvested portion of the Danaher contributions that have been credited to the participant’s Danaher EDIP account would immediately vest.
(7)  
Please see “Danaher Employment Agreements” for a description of the cash payments Mr. Geiselhöringer would be entitled to if Danaher terminates his employment, other than as a result of gross misconduct, as well as a description of his post-employment restrictive covenant obligations. The amounts set forth in the table assume that Mr. Geiselhöringer received payment in lieu of notice of termination of employment and that he complies with his post-employment restrictive covenant obligations.
Danaher Employment Agreements
Named Executive Officer Proprietary Interest Agreement
Danaher entered into an agreement with each of our NEOs under which they are subject to certain covenants designed to protect Danaher’s proprietary interests (“Proprietary Interest Agreement”). Mr. Geiselhöringer’s Proprietary Interest Agreement is discussed below under “—Employment Agreement with Mr. Geiselhöringer.”
During and for specified periods after the officer’s employment with Danaher, subject to certain customary exceptions, our NEOs are prohibited from disclosing or improperly using any of our confidential information; making any disparaging comments about Danaher; competing with Danaher; selling to or soliciting purchases from our customers and prospective customers with respect to products and services about which the officer has particular knowledge or expertise; hiring or soliciting any of Danaher’s current or recent employees, or otherwise assisting or encouraging any of Danaher’s employees to leave Danaher; interfering with Danaher’s vendor relationships; or developing competing products or services. Our NEOs also agreed that with limited exceptions all intellectual property that the officer develops in connection with his employment with Danaher belongs to Danaher, and assigns Danaher all rights the officer may have in any such intellectual property.
Under the Proprietary Interest Agreement with Mr. Aghdaei, if Danaher terminates his employment without cause he will be entitled to an amount equal to nine months of base salary, plus severance pay equal to three months’ salary if he signs Danaher’s standard form of release at the time of termination. These amounts would be paid out over twelve months according to the normal payroll cycle. Under the agreement, “cause” is generally defined as his (a) dishonesty, fraud or other willful misconduct or gross negligence; (b) conviction of or pleading guilty or no contest to a felony, misdemeanor (other than a traffic violation) or other crime that would impair his ability to perform his duties or Danaher’s reputation; (c) refusal or willful failure to satisfactorily perform his duties or comply with our standards, policies or procedures; (d) material breach of the agreement; (e) death; or (f) termination because of illness that results in his absence from work on a full-time basis for twelve consecutive months.

Table of Contents --------------

Employment Agreement with Mr. Geiselhöringer
Nobel Biocare Services AG (“Nobel”), a subsidiary of Danaher that will become part of Envista at the completion of this offering, entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Geiselhöringer on September 13, 2014, and as amended through the date of this prospectus. The employment agreement generally provides for an annual base salary and short- and long-term incentives determined in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Danaher’s incentive compensation programs. Either Nobel or Mr. Geiselhöringer may terminate the employment agreement upon six months’ prior notice, provided that Nobel may provide Mr. Geiselhöringer with payment of six months’ base salary in lieu of the notice period.
During and for twelve months following Mr. Geiselhöringer’s employment with Nobel, Mr. Geiselhöringer is prohibited from soliciting, inducing or attempting to induce any Nobel executive to leave Nobel or to engage in any business that competes with Nobel; hiring or assisting in the hire of any Nobel executive to work for any business that competes with Nobel; soliciting, inducing or attempting to induce any person or company that is a customer of Nobel to discontinue or modify its customer relationship with Nobel; or disparage, either in private or in public, Nobel or its customers, employees or other affiliates where such disparagement is harmful to Nobel’s business or reputation. As consideration for continued compliance with his non-competition and non-solicitation obligations following termination of employment, Mr. Geiselhöringer will be entitled to receive an amount equal to twelve months’ continued payment of base salary.
Officers’ and Directors’ Indemnification and Insurance
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will require us to indemnify to the full extent authorized or permitted by law any person made, or threatened to be made a party to any action or proceeding by reason of his or her service as our director or officer, or by reason of serving at our request as a director or officer of any other entity, subject to certain exceptions. Our amended and restated bylaws will provide for similar indemnification rights. In addition, each of our directors and executive officers is expected to enter into an indemnification agreement with us that will provide for substantially similar indemnification rights and under which we will agreed to pay expenses in advance of the final disposition of any such indemnifiable proceeding. We are also expected to obtain directors and officers liability insurance covering all of our directors and officers.
Danaher Employee Benefit Plans
Danaher Senior Leader Severance Pay Plan
Each of Danaher’s executives, including Messrs. Aghdaei, Bludworth, Eriksson and Yu, is entitled to certain benefits under Danaher’s Senior Leader Severance Pay Plan. If a covered employee is terminated without “cause” and except in certain circumstances as specified in the plan, subject to execution of Danaher’s standard form of release he or she is entitled to severance equal to a minimum of three months of annual base salary plus an additional month for each year of service (provided that the three months plus all additional months cannot exceed twelve months in aggregate) paid out over the applicable severance period according to the normal payroll cycle, as well as the opportunity to continue coverage under specified welfare benefit plans of Danaher for the duration of the severance period at the same cost as an active employee in a position similar to that held by the employee at termination. To the extent a covered employee is entitled to severance or other post-termination compensation pursuant to the terms of an individual agreement, payments and benefits will only be provided under the plan to the extent they are not duplicative of the payments and benefits provided under the individual agreement. We expect to adopt a similar policy following the completion of this offering.
Danaher Supplemental Retirement Program
Danaher Contributions . Danaher uses the Danaher EDIP, a non-qualified, unfunded excess contribution (and until December 31, 2018, voluntary deferred compensation) program, to provide supplemental retirement benefits on a pre-tax basis in excess of qualified plan limitations to select management associates of Danaher and its subsidiaries. At the beginning of each plan year, Danaher credits to the account of each participant an amount equal to the product of:
the sum of the participant’s base salary and target bonus as of the end of the prior year; and
a percentage determined by the administrator that is based on the participant’s years of participation in the Danaher EDIP, namely 6% for employees who have participated in the Danaher EDIP for less than 10 years, 8% after 10 years of Danaher EDIP participation and 10% after 15 years of Danaher EDIP participation.
All amounts that Danaher contributes to a participant’s account are deemed invested on a notional basis in Danaher common stock.
A participant vests in the amounts that Danaher credits to his or her account as follows:

130

Table of Contents --------------

If the participant has both reached age 55 and completed at least five years of service with Danaher or its subsidiaries, the participant immediately vests 100% in each Danaher contribution.
If the participant does not satisfy the conditions described under the preceding bullet, the participant’s vesting percentage is 10% for each year of participation in the Danaher EDIP (after the participant has first completed five years of participation in the Danaher EDIP).
If a participant dies while employed by Danaher, his or her vesting percentage equals 100%.
If termination of an employee’s participation in the Danaher EDIP resulted from the employee’s gross misconduct, the administrator may reduce the employee’s vested interest with respect to all Danaher contributions to as low as zero percent.
Effective January 1, 2019, no new participants are admitted to the Danaher EDIP, but existing Danaher EDIP participants as of December 31, 2018 may receive Danaher contributions as described above. Danaher EDIP participants who make a one-time election to participate in the Danaher Excess Contribution Plan, or Danaher ECP (which is a sub-plan under the Danaher 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan), and new participants in Danaher’s supplemental retirement program will receive Danaher contributions under the Danaher ECP. Messrs. Aghdaei, Bludworth and Eriksson elected to remain in the Danaher EDIP and therefore do not participate in the Danaher ECP.
Voluntary Deferrals. Until December 31, 2018, each Danaher EDIP participant was permitted to voluntarily defer into the program, on a pre-tax basis, up to 85% of his or her salary and/or up to 85% of his or her non-equity incentive compensation with respect to a given plan year. Notional earnings on amounts deferred under the program are credited to participant accounts based on the market rate of return of the applicable benchmark investment alternatives offered under the program, which are generally the same as the investment alternatives offered under Danaher’s 401(k) Plan (except for any investment options that may only be offered under the tax qualified 401(k) Plan). Each participant allocates the amounts he or she voluntarily defers among the available investment alternatives. Participants may change their allocations at any time, provided that any portion of a participant’s account that is subject to the Danaher common stock investment alternative must remain allocated to that investment alternative until the account is distributed to the participant.
Effective January 1, 2019, no new voluntary deferrals are permitted under the Danaher EDIP and instead, Danaher EDIP participants and other members of Danaher senior management are permitted to make voluntary deferrals under the Danaher DCP. Voluntary deferrals under the Danaher DCP are subject to substantially the same terms as applied under the Danaher EDIP, including with respect to the percentage of salary and/or non-equity incentive compensation that may deferred each year, investment alternatives and crediting of notional earnings. Participants are at all times fully vested in amounts they voluntarily defer into their Danaher EDIP and DCP accounts.
Distributions. In general, a participant may not receive a distribution of his or her vested Danaher EDIP account balance (including any amounts voluntarily deferred) until after his or her employment with Danaher terminates. A participant generally may elect to receive a distribution of his or her Danaher DCP account balance following his or her termination of employment or on a specified future date prior to his or her termination of employment. The following chart generally describes the timing and manner of distribution of Danaher EDIP and DCP account balances:

131

Table of Contents --------------

Name of Plan

Lump sum
Participant may elect to receive distribution in cash, shares of Danaher common stock or a combination thereof (but all balances subject to the Danaher common stock investment alternative must be distributed in shares of Danaher common stock).
100% vested in Danaher contributions
Participant may elect to begin receiving distributions immediately, 6 months, 1 year or 2 years following termination (a six-month delay may apply to distributions on a termination of employment if the participant is a “key employee” under applicable tax rules).
Participant may elect lump sum, or if at least age 55, annual installments over two, five or ten years.
Danaher DCP
Participant may elect to begin receiving distributions on the earlier of a fixed date or termination of employment. Distributions on a fixed date must be at least 3 years after the date of election. Distribution elections upon a termination of employment are the same as under the Danaher EDIP.
Participant may elect lump sum or annual installments over a period of up to ten years.
All balances subject to the Danaher common stock investment alternative must be distributed in shares of Danaher common stock, and all other balances must be paid in cash.
Certain events, such as the participant’s death or an unforeseeable emergency, may impact the timing of a distribution under the Danaher EDIP or Danaher DCP.
General . Under the EDIP and DCP, Danaher contributions and amounts voluntarily deferred are unfunded and unsecured obligations of Danaher, receive no preferential standing and are subject to the same risks as any of Danaher’s other general obligations.
Going forward . Following the completion of this offering, our Compensation Committee is expected to establish supplemental retirement plans that provide each of our NEOs with benefits comparable to the supplemental retirement benefits that such NEO received prior to the completion of this offering.
Envista Employment Agreements
Envista Proprietary Interest Agreements
We expect that we will enter into an agreement with each of our NEOs under which they are subject to certain covenants designed to protect our proprietary interests (the “Envista Proprietary Interest Agreements”).
The Envista Proprietary Interest Agreements will provide that, during and for specified periods after the officer’s employment with us, subject to certain customary exceptions, our NEOs will be generally prohibited from disclosing or improperly using any of our confidential information; making any disparaging comments about us; selling to or soliciting purchases from our customers and prospective customers with respect to products and services about which the officer has particular knowledge or expertise; hiring or soliciting any of our current or recent employees, or otherwise assisting or encouraging any of our employees to leave employment with us; or interfering with our vendor relationships. In addition, subject to certain customary exceptions, the Envista Proprietary Interest Agreements with the non-California NEOs will provide that the officers will not compete with us or develop competing products or services for a period of twelve months following termination of employment.

132

Table of Contents --------------

The Envista Proprietary Interest Agreements will also provide, that with limited exceptions, all intellectual property that the officer develops in connection with his employment with us belongs to us, and assigns us all rights the officer may have in any such intellectual property.
Letter Agreements
We expect to enter into letter agreements with each of our NEOs prior to the completion of this offering. We will provide a summary of the terms of the letter agreements in subsequent amendments to this prospectus.
Envista Holdings Corporation 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan
General . The following is a description of the material features of the proposed Envista Holdings Corporation 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”). This description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the proposed 2019 Plan, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We expect to adopt the 2019 Plan prior to the completion of this offering.
Awards and Eligibility . The following awards may be granted under the 2019 Plan: stock options, SARs, restricted stock, RSUs, other stock-based awards (including PSUs) and conversion awards, as such terms are defined in the 2019 Plan, as well as cash-based awards (collectively, all such awards are referred to as “awards”). We will not receive any consideration for the granting of these awards other than, where required, par value. All of our employees, non-employee directors (“directors”) and consultants, as well as those of our eligible subsidiaries, will be eligible to participate in the 2019 Plan. As of the completion of this offering, we expect to have approximately 12,000 employees and nine directors.
Administration of Plan. The 2019 Plan will be administered by our Compensation Committee (the “Administrator”), unless otherwise determined by our Board of Directors. The 2019 Plan requires that the Compensation Committee consist of at least two directors, each of whom is a non-employee director under Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act. The Administrator will have the sole authority to grant awards and sole and exclusive discretion to construe, interpret and administer the 2019 Plan, amend, waive or extend any provision or limitation of any award (except as limited by the terms of the 2019 Plan), remedy ambiguities or omissions and adopt appropriate procedures (and may delegate its authority to members of management (other than authority to make grants to any director or any officer subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act)). The Administrator will determine the employees, directors and consultants who will receive grants and the precise terms of the grants (including any provisions regarding acceleration of vesting and exercisability, which the Administrator may determine either initially or subsequent to the grant of the award). The decisions of the Administrator will be final and binding on all holders of awards.
Shares Available; Award Limits . A total of          million shares of our common stock will be reserved for issuance under the 2019 Plan (including in respect of conversion awards) (the “maximum share limit”). Each share of common stock subject to an award (including any conversion award) will count against the maximum share limit as one share of common stock. If any award (including any conversion award) expires, is canceled, forfeited, cash-settled, exchanged or assumed by a third party or terminates for any other reason, in each case without a distribution of common stock to the participant, each share of common stock available under that award will be added back to the maximum share limit as one share of common stock. The foregoing limitations will be subject to adjustments relating to capital adjustments as set forth in the 2019 Plan. The maximum number of shares subject to awards granted during a single fiscal year to any director, taken together with such director’s cash fees with respect to the fiscal year, will not exceed $700,000 in the aggregate.
Prohibition on Share Recycling . The following shares of common stock will not again become available for awards or increase the number of shares available for grant under the 2019 Plan: (1) shares of common stock tendered by the participant or withheld by us in payment of the purchase price of an option or SAR, (2) shares of common stock tendered by the participant or withheld by us to satisfy any tax withholding obligation under the plan, (3) shares of common stock repurchased by us with proceeds received from the exercise of an option, and (4) shares of common stock subject to a SAR that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of that SAR upon its exercise.
Adjustments. If the outstanding shares of common stock increase or decrease or change into or are exchanged for a different number or kind of security by reason of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares, exchange of shares, stock dividend, or other distribution payable in capital stock, or some other increase or decrease in the common stock occurs without Envista receiving consideration, or in the event of an extraordinary dividend on the common stock payable in a form other than common stock in an amount that has a material effect on the price of the common stock, the Administrator will make an equitable adjustment as the Administrator in its sole discretion deems appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits intended to be made available under the plan to (a) the number and kind of shares of common stock, other securities or property underlying, or the amount of cash subject to, each outstanding award; (b) the

133

exercise price or purchase price of any outstanding award and applicable performance conditions relating to any outstanding award; and (c) the maximum share limit.
Performance Rules . Awards under the 2019 Plan may be subject to time-based and/or such performance-based vesting conditions as the Administrator considers appropriate. Equity-based awards granted under the 2019 Plan will generally be subject to a vesting period, as applicable, of at least one year, provided that (1) up to five percent (5%) of the maximum share limit may be issued without regard to the minimum vesting condition, (2) conversion awards will not count against the minimum vesting condition, (3) the minimum vesting condition will not apply in the event of a participant’s death, disability, retirement or other terminations of service, and (4) the Administrator may waive the minimum vesting condition in the event of a substantial corporate change. The number of shares of common stock, the amount of cash or the other benefits received under an award that are otherwise earned upon satisfaction of performance-based vesting conditions may be adjusted by the Administrator on the basis of such further considerations that the Administrator in its sole discretion deems appropriate.
Retirement and Other Terminations of Employment . Except in certain countries where different terms apply and subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the 2019 Plan or the applicable award agreement, in general and subject in all cases to the term of the award:
upon retiring after reaching age 65, (1) a participant’s unvested options and SARs will continue to vest and, together with any options and SARs that are vested as of the retirement date, remain outstanding and (once vested) may be exercised until the fifth anniversary of the retirement date, (2) any RSUs and any conversion award that is an RSU and was originally granted on or after February 23, 2015 that are unvested as of the retirement date will continue to vest according to their terms (subject, as to each time-based vesting tranche, to satisfaction of any applicable performance criteria before the time-based vesting date), and (3) with respect to PSUs, the participant will receive a prorated portion of the shares actually earned based on our performance over the performance period, and (4) all unvested portions of any other outstanding awards, including restricted stock, will be forfeited for no consideration; and
solely with respect to awards other than any conversion awards that were originally granted prior to February 23, 2015, upon retiring after reaching age 55 and completing ten years of service with us (including years of service with Danaher prior to the completion of this offering), (1) a pro rata portion of the participant’s unvested options and SARs will continue to vest and, together with any options and SARs that are vested as of the retirement date, remain outstanding and (once vested) may be exercised until the fifth anniversary of the retirement date, (2) a pro rata portion of any RSUs that are unvested as of the retirement date will continue to vest according to their terms (subject, as to each time-based vesting tranche, to satisfaction of any applicable performance criteria before the time-based vesting date) and (3) with respect to PSUs, the participant will receive a prorated portion of the shares actually earned based on the Company’s performance over the performance period, and (4) all unvested portions of any other outstanding awards, including restricted stock, will be forfeited for no consideration.
Upon terminations of employment other than retirement, unless the Administrator determines otherwise, any options or SARs that are vested as of a participant’s termination of employment (including any options or SARs the vesting of which accelerates as a result of the participant’s death) will remain exercisable until the earlier of the expiration of the award’s term or (1) 12 months after termination, if the termination results from the participant’s death or disability, (2) in the Administrator’s discretion, at the time of termination if the participant’s employment is terminated for gross misconduct, or (3) 90 days following the termination date, in all other non-retirement situations. The Administrator will have the discretion to determine whether and when a termination of employment has occurred. If an award survives for any period of time following termination of employment, it will nonetheless terminate as of the date that the participant violates any post-employment covenant between us and the participant. In addition, upon termination of a participant’s employment or service due to death, generally (1) all outstanding stock options granted under the 2019 Plan will become fully vested, (2) the vesting of a pro rata portion of his or her outstanding RSUs will be accelerated as of the date of death, and (3) with respect to PSUs as to which the death occurs prior to conclusion of the performance period, the participant’s estate will receive a pro rata portion of the target number of shares underlying the PSUs.
Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. The 2019 Plan authorizes the grant of non-qualified stock options, which are not intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, as well as SARs. The exercise price of stock options and SARs granted under the 2019 Plan may not be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant except in the event of a conversion, replacement or substitution in connection with an acquisition or merger or in the event of an adjustment to our capital stock. The “fair market value” means the closing price per share of common stock on the NYSE or other national securities exchange on the date the award is granted, or if no such closing price is available on such day, the closing price for the immediately preceding trading day.

Table of Contents --------------

Restricted Stock Grants, Restricted Stock Units and Other Stock-Based Awards. A restricted stock grant is a direct grant of common stock, subject to restrictions and vesting conditions, including time-based vesting conditions and/or the attainment of performance-based vesting conditions. A participant who is awarded a restricted stock grant under the 2019 Plan will have the same voting, dividend and other rights as our other shareholders from the date of grant. The Administrator may also grant RSUs or PSUs under which the participants will be entitled to receive shares of common stock upon satisfaction of any applicable vesting conditions, including time-based and/or performance-based vesting conditions. A participant who is awarded RSUs or PSUs under the 2019 Plan does not possess any incidents of ownership with respect to the underlying shares of common stock. Generally, all shares subject to unvested restricted stock grants or unvested RSUs or PSUs are forfeited upon termination of employment (other than by reason of death or retirement). Other awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, common stock may also be granted to employees, directors and consultants.
Conversion Awards . The 2019 Plan authorizes the grant of awards in connection with the replacement of certain equity-based awards granted by Danaher prior to the completion of this offering. Notwithstanding any provision of the 2019 Plan to the contrary, in accordance with a formula for the replacement of the Danaher awards as determined by us in a manner consistent with our separation from Danaher, the Administrator will determine number of shares of common stock subject to a conversion award and the exercise price of any conversion award that is an option.
Cash-Based Awards . The Administrator may grant cash-based awards, each of which may be expressed in dollars or may be based on a formula that is consistent with the provisions of the 2019 Plan.
Transferability. Generally, awards under the 2019 Plan may not be pledged, assigned or otherwise transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent or distribution. The Administrator will have the authority to allow the transfer of awards (other than cash-based awards) by gift to members of the participant’s immediate family, children, grandchildren or spouse, a trust in which the participant and/or such family members collectively have more than 50% of the beneficial interest, or any other entity in which the participant and/or such family members own more than 50% of the voting interests.
Corporate Changes. As defined in the 2019 Plan, a substantial corporate change includes the consummation of (1) our dissolution or liquidation; (2) any transaction or series of transactions in which any person or entity or group of persons or entities is or becomes the owner, directly or indirectly, of our voting securities (not including any securities acquired directly from us or our affiliates) representing more than 50% of the total voting power of our then outstanding securities; (3) a change in the composition of our Board of Directors such that individuals who were serving on our Board of Directors immediately following the completion of this offering, together with any new member of our Board of Directors (other than a member of our Board of Directors whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest, including but not limited to a consent solicitation, relating to the election of our directors) whose appointment or election by our Board of Directors or nomination for election by our shareholders was approved or recommended by a vote of at least a majority of the members of our Board of Directors then still in office who either were members of our Board of Directors on such date or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so approved or recommended, cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the number of the members of our Board of Directors then serving; (4) our merger, consolidation, or reorganization with one or more corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships or other entities, other than a merger, consolidation or reorganization which would result in our voting securities outstanding immediately prior to such event continuing to have both (i) more than 50% of the total voting power of the voting securities of the ultimate parent entity resulting from such merger, consolidation, or reorganization (and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such voting securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to such transaction), and (ii) the power to elect at least a majority of the board of directors or other governing body of the ultimate parent entity resulting from such merger, consolidation, or reorganization; or (5) the sale of all or substantially all of our assets to another person or entity.
Upon a substantial corporate change, either (1) our Board of Directors will provide for the assumption or continuation of outstanding awards, or the substitution for such awards of any options or grants covering the stock or securities of a successor employer corporation, or (2) if any outstanding such award is not so assumed, continued or substituted for, then any forfeitable portions of the awards will terminate and the Administrator in its sole discretion may (i) provide that optionees or holders of SARs will have the right before the consummation of the transaction to exercise any unexercised portions of an option or SAR; and/or (ii) for any awards, cancel each award after payment to the participant of (a) an amount in cash, cash equivalents, or successor equity interests substantially equal to the fair market value of the shares of common stock subject to the award (minus, for options and SARs, the exercise price, and for any awards where our Board of Directors or the Administrator determines it is appropriate, any required tax withholdings), or (b) an amount equal to the cash value of the award with respect to cash-based awards. The Administrator will determine in its discretion the impact, if any, of the substantial corporate change upon any performance conditions otherwise applicable to an award.

135

Table of Contents --------------

Foreign Jurisdictions. To comply with the laws in countries outside the United States in which we or any of our subsidiaries operates or has employees, the Administrator will have the authority to determine which subsidiaries will be covered by the 2019 Plan and which employees outside the United States are eligible to participate in the 2019 Plan, to modify the terms and conditions of any award granted to employees outside the United States and to establish sub-plans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable.
Amendment or Termination; Term of Plan. Our Board of Directors may amend, suspend or terminate the 2019 Plan. However, no amendment may be effected without approval of our shareholders to the extent such approval is required under applicable law or any applicable stock exchange rule. Except as required by law or upon a substantial corporate change, the Administrator may not amend or cancel the 2019 Plan or any award made under the 2019 Plan without the written consent of the participant if such action would materially adversely affect any outstanding award; provided however, that our Board of Directors reserves the right to unilaterally alter or modify the 2019 Plan and any awards made thereunder to ensure all awards provided to participants who are U.S. taxpayers are made in such a manner that either qualifies for exemption from or complies with Code Section 409A. Unless the Board extends the 2019 Plan’s term, the Administrator may not grant awards under the 2019 Plan after the ten year anniversary of the date the 2019 Plan is approved by Danaher in its capacity as our sole shareholder.
Recoupment . All awards granted under the 2019 Plan will be subject to our recoupment policy as it exists from time to time, if and to the extent the policy applies according to its terms, as well as any recoupment terms required by applicable law.
Director Compensation
With respect to fiscal year 2018, we did not pay any director compensation.
Director Compensation Philosophy
We expect to use a combination of cash and equity-based compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on our Board. In setting director compensation, our Board and Nominating and Governance Committee expect to be guided by the following principles:
compensation should fairly pay directors for work required in a company of our size and scope, and differentiate among directors where appropriate to reflect different levels of responsibilities;
a significant portion of the total compensation should be paid in stock-based awards to align directors’ interests with the long-term interests of our stockholders; and
the structure of the compensation program should be simple and transparent.
Process for Setting Director Compensation
The Nominating and Governance Committee will be responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the Board regarding non-management director compensation (although the Board will make the final determination regarding the amounts and type of non-management director compensation). The Board expects to use an independent compensation consultant, to prepare regular reports on market non-management director compensation practices and evaluate our program in light of the results of such reports.
While the terms and conditions of the plans have not yet been determined, we expect that our equity plan will have substantially similar terms and conditions as the Danaher 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan, and will limit the amount of cash and equity compensation that we may pay to a non-management director each year. Under the terms of the Danaher 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan, an annual limit of $800,000 per calendar year applies to the sum of all cash and equity-based awards (calculated based on the grant date fair value of such awards for financial reporting purposes) granted to each non-management director for services as a member of the Board (plus an additional limit of $500,000 per calendar year with respect to any non-executive Board chair or vice chair).
Director Compensation Structure
Each of our independent directors is expected to receive:
An annual cash retainer of $100,000, paid in four, equal installments following each quarter of service.
If a director attends more than twenty (20) Board and Board committee meetings in aggregate during a calendar year, a cash meeting fee of $2,000 for each Board and committee meeting attended during such year in excess of such threshold, paid in aggregate following completion of such year.
An annual equity award with a target award value of $175,000.

136

Reimbursement for Envista-related out-of-pocket expenses, including travel expenses.
In addition, the Board chair is expected to receive an annual cash retainer of $62,500 and an annual equity award with a target value of $62,500, the chair of the Audit Committee is expected to receive an annual cash retainer of $20,000, the chair of the Compensation Committee an annual cash retainer of $15,000, and the Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee an annual retainer of $10,000, with all cash retainers paid in four, equal installments following each quarter of service.
Each of the directors designated by Danaher for nomination to our Board pursuant to Danaher’s rights under the separation agreement is expected to receive from Danaher (not Envista) a one-time cash payment for service on the Board between the date of this offering and the date Danaher no longer controls a majority of the total voting power of Envista’s outstanding shares with respect to the election of directors (the “Disposition Date”). The cash payment will be based on an annual rate of $275,000 and will be pro-rated as necessary based on the number of months the director serves on the Envista Board between the date of this offering and Disposition Date (with any partial month counting as a full month). This cash payment will be paid in a lump sum between the Disposition Date and the date that is thirty (30) days following the Disposition Date.
Mr. Aghdaei will receive no additional compensation (other than his compensation as President and CEO) for his service on the Envista Board.
Director Stock Ownership Requirements
Our Board is also expected to adopt stock ownership requirements for non-management directors. Under the requirements, each non-management director (within five years of his or her initial election or appointment) will be required to beneficially own shares of our common stock with a market value of at least five times his or her annual cash retainer. Once a director has acquired a number of shares that satisfies such ownership multiple, such number of shares then becomes such director’s minimum ownership requirement (even if his or her retainer increases or the fair market value of such shares subsequently declines). Under the policy, beneficial ownership includes RSUs and restricted shares held by the director and shares in which the director or his or her spouse or child has a direct or indirect interest, but does not include shares subject to unexercised stock options. Until such time as Danaher ceases to beneficially own a majority of the total voting power of our outstanding shares with respect to the election of directors, this policy will not apply to those non-management directors who are employees of Danaher. In addition, our Board is expected to adopt a policy that prohibits any director or executive officer from pledging as security under any obligation any shares of our common stock that he or she directly or indirectly owns and controls. We also expect to adopt a policy that prohibits our directors and employees from engaging in any transactions involving a derivative of our securities, including hedging transactions.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS
Agreements with Danaher
Following the separation and this offering, we and Danaher will operate separately, each as a public company. We will enter into a separation agreement with Danaher, which is referred to in this prospectus as the “separation agreement.” In connection with the separation, we will also enter into various other agreements to effect the separation and provide a framework for our relationship with Danaher after the separation, including a transition services agreement, an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement, an intellectual property matters agreement, a DBS license agreement and a registration rights agreement. These agreements will provide for the allocation between us and Danaher of Danaher’s assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including its investments, property and employee benefits and tax-related assets and liabilities) attributable to periods prior to, at and after our separation from Danaher and will govern certain relationships between us and Danaher after the separation.
The following summaries of each of the agreements listed above are qualified in their entireties by reference to the full text of the applicable agreements which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
The Separation Agreement
We intend to enter into a separation agreement with Danaher immediately prior to the consummation of this offering. The separation agreement will set forth our agreements with Danaher regarding the principal actions to be taken in connection with the separation. It will also set forth other agreements that govern certain aspects of our relationship with Danaher following the separation and this offering.
Transfer of Assets and Assumption of Liabilities
The separation agreement will identify assets to be transferred, liabilities to be assumed and contracts to be assigned to each of Danaher and us as part of the internal reorganization transaction described herein, and will describe when and how these transfers, assumptions and assignments will occur, though many of the transfers, assumptions and assignments will have already occurred prior to the parties’ entering into the separation agreement. The separation agreement will provide for those transfers of assets and assumptions of liabilities that are necessary in connection with the separation so that we and Danaher retain the assets necessary to operate our respective businesses and retain or assume the liabilities allocated in accordance with the separation. The separation agreement will also provide for the settlement or extinguishment of certain liabilities and other obligations between us and Danaher. In particular, the separation agreement will provide that, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the separation agreement:
“Envista Assets” (as defined in the separation agreement), including, but not limited to, the equity interests of our subsidiaries, assets reflected on our pro forma balance sheet and assets primarily (or in the case of intellectual property, exclusively) relating to our business, will be retained by or transferred to us or one of our subsidiaries, except as set forth in the separation agreement or one of the other agreements described below;
“Envista Liabilities” (as defined in the separation agreement), including, but not limited to, the following will be retained by or transferred to us or one of our subsidiaries:
all of the liabilities (whether accrued, contingent or otherwise, and subject to certain exceptions) to the extent related to, arising out of or resulting from our business;
any and all “Envista Environmental Liabilities” (as defined in the separation agreement);
liabilities (whether accrued, contingent or otherwise) reflected on our pro forma balance sheet;
liabilities (whether accrued, contingent or otherwise) relating to, arising out of, or resulting from, any infringement, misappropriation or other violation of any intellectual property of any other person related to the conduct of our business;
any product liability claims or other claims of third parties to the extent relating to, arising out of or resulting from any product developed, manufactured, marketed, distributed, leased or sold by our business;
liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from any indebtedness of any subsidiary of ours or any indebtedness secured exclusively by any of our assets;
liabilities (whether accrued, contingent or otherwise) relating to, arising out of or resulting from any form, registration statement, schedule or similar disclosure document filed or furnished with the SEC, to the extent the liability arising therefrom related to matters related to our business;

139

Table of Contents --------------

all other liabilities (whether accrued, contingent or otherwise) relating to, arising out of or resulting from disclosure documents filed or furnished with the SEC that are related to the separation (including the Form S-1 registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and this prospectus); and
all assets and liabilities (whether accrued, contingent or otherwise) of Danaher will be retained by or transferred to Danaher or one of its subsidiaries (other than us or one of our subsidiaries), except as set forth in the separation agreement or one of the other agreements described below and except for other limited exceptions that will result in us retaining or assuming certain other specified liabilities.
The allocation of liabilities with respect to taxes, except for payroll taxes and reporting and other tax matters expressly covered by the employee matters agreement, are solely covered by the tax matters agreement.
Except as expressly set forth in the separation agreement or any ancillary agreement, all assets will be transferred on an “as is,” “where is” basis and the respective transferees will bear the economic and legal risks that any conveyance will prove to be insufficient to vest in the transferee good title, free and clear of any security interest, that any necessary consents or governmental approvals are not obtained and that any requirements of laws or judgments are not complied with. In general, neither we nor Danaher will make any representations or warranties regarding any assets or liabilities transferred or assumed, any consents or approvals that may be required in connection with such transfers or assumptions, or any other matters.
Information in this prospectus with respect to the assets and liabilities of the parties following the separation is presented based on the allocation of such assets and liabilities pursuant to the separation agreement, unless the context otherwise requires. Certain of the liabilities and obligations to be assumed by one party or for which one party will have an indemnification obligation under the separation agreement and the other agreements relating to the separation are, and following the separation may continue to be, the legal or contractual liabilities or obligations of another party. Each such party that continues to be subject to such legal or contractual liability or obligation will rely on the applicable party that assumed the liability or obligation or the applicable party that undertook an indemnification obligation with respect to the liability or obligation, as applicable, under the separation agreement, to satisfy the performance and payment obligations or indemnification obligations with respect to such legal or contractual liability or obligation.
Cash Distribution
Danaher will receive as consideration for the Dental business Danaher is contributing to us in connection with the separation shares of our common stock, all of the net proceeds we will receive from the sale of our common stock in this offering, including any net proceeds we will receive as a result of any exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, and approximately $1.5 billion of proceeds from term debt financing that we will enter into prior to the closing of this offering, as further described in the section entitled “Description of Certain Indebtedness.” See “Use of Proceeds.”
Further Assurances; Separation of Guarantees
To the extent that any transfers of assets or assumptions of liabilities contemplated by the separation agreement have not been consummated on or prior to the date of this offering, the parties will agree to cooperate with each other to effect such transfers or assumptions while holding such assets or liabilities for the benefit of the appropriate party so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such asset or liability inure to the party entitled to receive or assume such asset or liability. Each party will agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to take or to cause to be taken all actions, and to do, or to cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary under applicable law or contractual obligations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by the separation agreement and other transaction agreements. Additionally, we and Danaher will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove us and our subsidiaries as a guarantor of liabilities (including surety bonds) retained by Danaher and its subsidiaries and to remove Danaher and its subsidiaries as a guarantor of liabilities (including surety bonds) to be assumed by us.
Shared Contracts
Certain shared contracts are to be assigned or amended to facilitate the separation of our business from Danaher. If such contracts may not be assigned or amended, the parties are required to take reasonable actions to cause the appropriate party to receive the benefit of the contract for a specified period of time after the separation is complete.
Release of Claims and Indemnification
Except as otherwise provided in the separation agreement or any ancillary agreement, each party will release and forever discharge the other party and its subsidiaries and affiliates from all liabilities existing or arising from any acts or events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur or any conditions existing or alleged to have existed on or before the separation. The releases will not extend to obligations or liabilities under any agreements between the

140

Table of Contents --------------

parties that remain in effect following the separation pursuant to the separation agreement or any ancillary agreement. These releases will be subject to certain exceptions set forth in the separation agreement.
The separation agreement will provide for cross-indemnities that, except as otherwise provided in the separation agreement, are principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities allocated to us under the separation agreement with us and financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities allocated to Danaher under the separation agreement with Danaher. Specifically, each party will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party, its affiliates and subsidiaries and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents for any losses arising out of or due to:
the liabilities or alleged liabilities the indemnifying party assumed or retained pursuant to the separation agreement;
the assets the indemnifying party assumed or retained pursuant the separation agreement;
the operation of the indemnifying party’s business, whether prior to, at, or after this offering; and
any breach by the indemnifying party of any provision of the separation agreement or any other agreement unless such other agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein.
Each party’s aforementioned indemnification obligations will be uncapped; provided that the amount of each party’s indemnification obligations will be subject to reduction by any insurance proceeds (net of premium increases) received by the party being indemnified. The separation agreement will also specify procedures with respect to claims subject to indemnification and related matters. Indemnification with respect to taxes will be governed by the tax matters agreement.
Legal Matters
Except as otherwise set forth in the separation agreement or any ancillary agreement (or as otherwise described above), each party to the separation agreement will assume the liability for, and control of, all pending, threatened and future legal matters related to its own business or its assumed or retained liabilities and will indemnify the other party for any liability arising out of or resulting from such legal matters.
Insurance
Following the separation, we will be responsible for obtaining and maintaining at our own cost our own insurance coverage. Additionally, with respect to certain claims arising prior to the separation, we may, at the sole discretion of Danaher, seek coverage under Danaher third-party insurance policies to the extent that coverage may be available thereunder.
Subsequent Distribution or Dispositions
Danaher has sole discretion in effecting any subsequent distribution of our shares through a spin-off or split-off or effecting any further dispositions of our shares after this offering through one or more public offerings or private sales. We are required to cooperate with Danaher to effect any subsequent distribution or dispositions.
Board and Committee Representation
For so long as Danaher beneficially owns a majority of the total voting power of our outstanding shares with respect to the election of directors, Danaher is entitled to designate a majority of the directors (including the chairman of the Board) and a majority of the members of any committee of the Board, and we are required to use reasonable best efforts to take advantage of any “controlled company” exemption (including related to director independence) under applicable stock exchange rules. For so long as Danaher beneficially owns less than a majority but at least 10% of the total voting power of our outstanding shares with respect to the election of directors, Danaher is entitled to designate a number of directors in proportion to the percentage of total voting power beneficially owned by Danaher and has the right to include at least one of its designees on each committee of the Board. The Danaher designees on any committee of the Board must comply with the applicable director independence requirements under applicable law, after taking into account any “controlled company” exemption under the stock exchange rules.
Financial Reporting Covenants
We have agreed to comply with certain covenants relating to our financial reporting for so long as Danaher is required to consolidate our results of operations and financial position or to account for its investment in us under the equity method of accounting. These covenants include, among others, covenants regarding:
delivery or supply of monthly, quarterly and annual financial information and annual budgets and financial projections to Danaher;

conformity with Danaher’s financial presentation and accounting policies;
disclosure of information about our financial controls to Danaher;
provision to Danaher of access to our auditors and certain books and records related to internal accounting controls or operations; and
cooperation with Danaher to the extent requested by Danaher in the preparation of Danaher’s public filings and press releases.
Additional Covenants
We have agreed to comply with the following additional covenants for so long as Danaher beneficially owns a majority of the total voting power of our outstanding shares with respect to the election of directors:
without Danaher’s prior written consent, we may not take any action that would restrict Danaher’s ability to transfer its shares of our common stock or limit the rights of Danaher as a stockholder of ours in a manner not applicable to our stockholders generally;
without Danaher’s prior written consent, we may not issue any of our shares (but may issue up to          shares of our common stock in connection with equity awards granted pursuant to our 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan); provided that no issuance of our shares may result in Danaher beneficially owning less than a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock or less than 80% of the total voting power of the then outstanding shares with respect to the election of directors;
to the extent that Danaher is a party to any contracts that provide that certain actions or inactions of Danaher affiliates may result in Danaher being in breach of such contracts, we may not take any actions that reasonably could result in Danaher being in breach of such contracts; and
we are required to take certain actions to comply with anti-corruption law (including to maintain a compliance and ethics program reasonably equivalent to Danaher’s compliance and ethics program).
In addition, prior to the date on which Danaher ceases to beneficially own a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock, we are required to consistently implement and maintain Danaher’s business practices and standards in accordance with Danaher’s policies and procedures (but may apply materiality thresholds lower than those contained in Danaher’s policies and procedures).
No Restriction on Competition
None of the provisions of the separation agreement includes any non-competition or other similar restrictive arrangements with respect to the range of business activities which may be conducted by either party.
No Hire and No Solicitation
Subject to customary exceptions, neither we nor Danaher will, without the consent of the other party, hire or retain an employee of the other party or its subsidiaries during the period from and after the completion of this offering until the date on which Danaher no longer beneficially owns a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock, and neither we nor Danaher will, without the consent of the other party, recruit or solicit an employee of the other party or its subsidiaries for a period of 12 months following the date on which Danaher ceases to beneficially own a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock.
Corporate Opportunities
Following the separation and for so long as Danaher beneficially owns at least 10% of the total voting power of our outstanding shares with respect to the election of directors or has any directors, officers or employees who serve on our Board of Directors, our Board of Directors will renounce any interest or expectancy of ours in any corporate opportunities that are presented to Danaher or any of its directors, officers or employees in accordance with Section 122(17) of the DGCL.
Dispute Resolution
If a dispute arises between us and Danaher under the separation agreement, the general counsels of the parties and such other representatives as the parties may designate will negotiate to resolve any disputes for a reasonable period of time. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute in this manner then, unless otherwise agreed by the parties and except as otherwise set forth in the separation agreement, the dispute will be resolved through binding confidential arbitration.

Term/Termination
Prior to the date on which Danaher ceases to beneficially own a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock, Danaher has the unilateral right to terminate or modify the terms of the separation agreement and related agreements. After such date, the term of the separation agreement is indefinite and it may only be terminated with the prior written consent of both Danaher and us.
Separation Costs
All costs with respect to the separation incurred prior to the separation will be borne and paid by Danaher, except that certain costs related to certain services listed on a schedule to the separation agreement are not deemed separation costs and will be borne and paid by us.
All costs with respect to the separation incurred after the separation will be borne and paid by us except to the extent such fees and expenses were incurred in connection with services expressly requested by Danaher in writing. In addition, we will bear responsibility for all other services provided to or for the benefit of us, whether provided before or after the separation.
Any costs or expenses incurred in obtaining consents or novation from a third party will be borne by the entity to which such contract is being assigned.
Treatment of Intercompany Loans and Advances
Upon completion of the separation, all loans and advances between Danaher or any subsidiary of Danaher (other than us and our subsidiaries), on the one hand, and us or any of our subsidiaries, on the other hand, will be terminated other than certain loans and advances that are scheduled to the separation agreement to remain outstanding following the separation.
Other Matters Governed by the Separation Agreement
Other matters governed by the separation agreement include, confidentiality, access to and provision of records and treatment of outstanding guarantees and similar credit support.
Transition Services Agreement
We and Danaher will enter into a transition services agreement in connection with the separation and this offering, pursuant to which Danaher and its subsidiaries and we and our subsidiaries will provide to each other various services. The charges for the transition services generally are expected to allow the providing company to fully recover all out-of-pocket costs and expenses it actually incurs in connection with providing the service, plus, in some cases, the allocated indirect costs of providing the services, generally without profit.
The transition services agreement will terminate on the expiration of the term of the last service provided under it, unless earlier terminated by either party under certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, in the event of an uncured material breach by the other party or its applicable affiliates. If no term period is provided for a specified service, then such service is to terminate on the second anniversary of the effective date of the transition services agreement. The recipient for a particular service generally can terminate that service prior to the scheduled expiration date, subject to a minimum notice period equal to 30 days.
We do not expect the net costs associated with the transition services agreement to be materially different than the historical costs that have been allocated to us related to these same services.
Tax Matters Agreement
Allocation of Taxes
In connection with the separation and this offering, we and Danaher will enter into a tax matters agreement that will govern the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings and other matters regarding taxes. In general, except with respect to certain transaction taxes triggered by the separation which will be borne by Danaher, under the agreement, we will be responsible for any U.S. federal, state, local or foreign taxes (and any related interest, penalties or audit adjustments) (i) imposed with respect to tax returns that include only us and/or any of our subsidiaries for any periods or portions thereof and (ii) imposed with respect to tax returns filed on a consolidated, combined, unitary or similar basis that include both us and/or any of our subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Danaher or any of its subsidiaries, on the other hand, to the extent such taxes are attributable to our businesses for any periods or portions thereof after the closing of this offering.
Neither party’s obligations under the agreement will be limited in amount or subject to any cap. The agreement will also assign responsibilities for administrative matters, such as the filing of returns, payment of taxes due, retention of records and conduct

143

Table of Contents --------------

of audits, examinations or similar proceedings. In addition, the agreement will provide for cooperation and information sharing with respect to tax matters.
If the distribution is effected, Danaher will generally be responsible for preparing and filing any tax return that includes Danaher or any of its subsidiaries (as determined immediately after the distribution), including those that also include us and/or any of our subsidiaries. We will generally be responsible for preparing and filing any tax returns that include only us and/or any of our subsidiaries.
The party responsible for preparing and filing any tax return will generally have primary authority to control tax contests related to any such tax return. We will generally have exclusive authority to control tax contests with respect to tax returns that include only us and/or any of our subsidiaries. It is expected that following this offering, we and our subsidiaries will be included in the U.S. federal consolidated tax returns of which Danaher is the parent until the distribution or additional sale of our shares, if any.    
Preservation of the Tax-Free Status of Certain Aspects of the Separation and Distribution
We and Danaher intend for the distribution, if pursued, together with certain related transactions, to qualify as a transaction that is tax-free to Danaher and Danaher’s stockholders under Section 368(a)(1)(D) and 355 of the Code.
Danaher expects to receive (i) a private letter ruling from the IRS to the effect that the separation and the distribution will qualify as a “reorganization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 368(a)(1)(D) and 355 of the Code, and (ii) if the distribution is pursued, an opinion from Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP regarding the tax-free status of the separation and this the distribution, together with certain related transactions. In connection with the private letter ruling and, if the distribution is pursued, the opinion, we and Danaher have made and will make certain representations regarding the past and future conduct of their respective businesses and certain other matters.
Pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement, we will also agree to certain covenants that contain restrictions intended to preserve the tax-free status of the separation and the distribution, if pursued. We may take certain actions prohibited by these covenants only if we obtain and provide to Danaher an opinion from a U.S. tax counsel or accountant of recognized national standing, in either case reasonably satisfactory to Danaher, to the effect that such action would not jeopardize the tax-free status of these transactions, or if we obtain prior written consent of Danaher, in its sole and absolute discretion, waiving such requirement. We will be barred from taking any action, or failing to take any action, where such action or failure to act adversely affects or could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the tax-free status of these transactions, for all relevant time periods. In addition, during the time period ending two years after the date of the distribution, these covenants will include specific restrictions on our:
discontinuing the active conduct of our trade or business;
issuance or sale of stock or other securities (including securities convertible into our stock but excluding certain compensatory arrangements);
amending our certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents) or taking any other action, whether through a stockholder vote or otherwise, affecting the voting rights of our common stock;
sales of assets outside the ordinary course of business; and
entering into any other corporate transaction which would cause us to undergo a 50% or greater change in our stock ownership.
We will generally agree to indemnify Danaher and its affiliates against any and all tax-related liabilities incurred by them relating to the distribution, if pursued, and certain other aspects of the separation to the extent caused by an acquisition of our stock or assets or by any other action undertaken by us. This indemnification will apply even if Danaher has permitted us to take an action that would otherwise have been prohibited under the tax-related covenants described above.
Term and termination
There is no termination provision in the tax matters agreement and, unless specifically stated otherwise, the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities and obligations generally survive until the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations.
Employee Matters Agreement
We and Danaher will enter into an employee matters agreement that will govern our and Danaher’s compensation and employee benefit obligations with respect to the employees and other service providers of each company, and generally will

144

Table of Contents --------------

allocate liabilities and responsibilities relating to employment matters and employee compensation and benefit plans and programs.
Outstanding Danaher awards and plans
The employee matters agreement will provide for the treatment of outstanding Danaher equity awards held by our employees upon completion of the distribution (if pursued), as described in further detail in the section entitled “Executive and Director Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—2018 NEO Compensation Decisions—Long-Term Incentive Awards,” and will also provide for certain other incentive arrangements.
The employee matters agreement will provide that, following the separation, our employees generally will continue to participate in benefit plans sponsored or maintained by Danaher until the earlier to occur of (i) the date that we are no longer a member of the “controlled group” of corporation of Danaher (as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code), (ii) January 1, 2020 or (iii) such earlier date as may be agreed between Danaher and us. Following the respective plan transition date, our employees will commence participation in our respective benefit plans, which are expected to be generally similar to the existing Danaher benefit plans.
General matters
The employee matters agreement also will set forth the general principles relating to employee matters, including with respect to the assignment and transfer of employees, the assumption and retention of liabilities and related assets, workers’ compensation, payroll taxes, regulatory filings, leaves of absence, the provision of comparable benefits, employee service credit, the sharing of employee information, and the duplication or acceleration of benefits.
Term and termination
Until the date upon which Danaher ceases to beneficially own, in the aggregate, a majority of the total voting power of Envista’s outstanding shares with respect to the election of directors, Danaher will have the unilateral right to terminate or modify the terms of the employee matters agreement. After such date, the term of the employee matters agreement is indefinite and may only be terminated or amended with the prior written consent of both Danaher and us.
Intellectual Property Matters Agreement
We and Danaher will enter into an intellectual property matters agreement pursuant to which Danaher will grant to us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, irrevocable, sublicensable (subject to the restrictions below) license to use certain intellectual property rights retained by Danaher. We will be able to sublicense our rights in connection with activities relating to our and our affiliates’ business, but not for independent use by third parties.
We will also grant back to Danaher a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, irrevocable, sublicensable (subject to the restrictions below) license to continue to use certain intellectual property rights owned by or transferred to us. Danaher will be able to sublicense its rights in connection with activities relating to Danaher’s and its affiliates’ retained business, but not for independent use by third parties. This license-back will permit Danaher to continue to use certain of our intellectual property rights in the conduct of its remaining businesses. We believe that the license-back will have little impact on our businesses because Danaher’s use of our intellectual property rights is generally limited to products and services that are not part of our businesses. The term of the intellectual property matters agreement is perpetual.
The intellectual property matters agreement is intended to provide freedom to operate in the event that any of Danaher’s retained trade secrets (excluding DBS) or patented technology is used in any of our businesses, and, as such, applies to all portions of our businesses. However, we believe there may be relatively little use of such retained trade secrets or patented technology in our businesses, and as a result, we do not believe that the intellectual property matters agreement has a material impact on any of our businesses.
DBS License Agreement
We and Danaher will enter into a DBS license agreement pursuant to which Danaher will grant us a perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide, and non-transferable license to use DBS solely in support of our business. We will be able to sublicense such license to direct and indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries (but only as long as such entities remain direct and indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries). In addition, we and Danaher will each license to each other improvements made by such party to DBS during the first two years of the term period of the DBS license agreement.
We anticipate that DBS, which will be rebranded as Envista Business System as used by us following this offering, will be used by our various businesses and functions to continuously improve performance.

145

Table of Contents --------------

For two years following the separation, each of Envista or Danaher may request the other party to provide limited, cost-free DBS-related services, which may include technical assistance and training, joint training sessions, collaboration sessions and other related services.
The term of the DBS license agreement is perpetual, with the license to Envista continuing unless there is an uncured material breach by Envista. Upon a change of control of Envista, Envista's rights to receive services under the DBS license agreement will terminate, but Envista will be permitted to continue to use the DBS license even after it undergoes a change of control.
Registration Rights Agreement
Prior to or concurrently with the completion of this offering, we will enter into a registration rights agreement with Danaher pursuant to which we will grant Danaher and its affiliates certain registration rights with respect to our common stock owned by them.
Demand registration
Danaher will be able to request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of our shares covered by the agreement, and we will be obligated to register such shares as requested by Danaher, subject to limitations on minimum offering size and certain other limited exceptions. We are not required to honor any of these demand registrations if we have effected a registration within the preceding 60 days. Danaher will be able to designate the terms of each offering effected pursuant to a demand registration, which may take any form, including a shelf registration.
Piggy-back registration
If we at any time intend to file on our behalf or on behalf of any of our other security holders a registration statement in connection with a public offering of any of our securities on a form and in a manner that would permit the registration for offer and sale of our common stock held by Danaher, Danaher will have the right to include its shares of our common stock in that offering.
Registration expenses
We will be generally responsible for all registration expenses in connection with the performance of our obligations under the registration rights provisions in the registration rights agreement. Danaher is responsible for its own internal fees and expenses, any applicable underwriting discounts or commissions and any stock transfer taxes.
Indemnification
Generally, the agreement will contain indemnification and contribution provisions by us for the benefit of Danaher and, in limited situations, by Danaher for the benefit of us with respect to the information provided by Danaher included in any registration statement, prospectus or related document.
Transfer
If Danaher transfers shares covered by the agreement, it will be able to transfer the benefits of the registration rights agreement to transferees of 5% or more of the shares of our common stock outstanding immediately following the completion of this offering, provided that each transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of the registration rights agreement.
Term
The registration rights will remain in effect with respect to any shares covered by the agreement until:
such shares have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act;
such shares have been sold to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act;
such shares may be sold to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without being subject to the volume restrictions in such rule; or
such shares have been sold in a transaction in which the transferee is not entitled to the benefits of the registration rights agreement.
Directed Share Program
At our request, the underwriters have reserved in aggregate up to 3% of our shares of common stock offered by this prospectus for sale, at the initial public offering price, to certain individuals, including our directors, executive officers and employees, as

146

Table of Contents --------------

well as persons with whom we have a business relationship, to the extent permitted under applicable laws and regulations in the United States and in various countries. These shares will be subject to a 180-day lock-up restriction. For additional information regarding the directed share program, please refer to section entitled “Underwriting.”
Procedures for Approval of Related Person Transactions
Prior to the consummation of this offering, we will adopt a written policy on related person transactions. This policy was not in effect when we entered into the transactions described above. Each of the agreements between us and Danaher and its subsidiaries that have been entered into prior to the completion of this offering, and any transactions contemplated thereby, will be deemed to be approved and not subject to the terms of such policy. Under this written related person transactions policy, the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board is expected to be required to review and if appropriate approve all related person transactions, prior to consummation whenever practicable. If advance approval of a related person transaction is not practicable under the circumstances or if our management becomes aware of a related person transaction that has not been previously approved or ratified, the transaction is submitted to the Nominating and Governance Committee at the Nominating and Governance Committee’s next meeting. The Nominating and Governance Committee is required to review and consider all relevant information available to it about each related person transaction, and a transaction is considered approved or ratified under the policy if the Nominating and Governance Committee authorizes it according to the terms of the policy after full disclosure of the related person’s interests in the transaction. Related person transactions of an ongoing nature are reviewed annually by the Nominating and Governance Committee. The definition of “related person transactions” for purposes of the policy covers the transactions that are required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
In connection with this offering, we will amend and restate our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws. The following is a description of the material terms of, and is qualified in its entirety by, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, each of which will be in effect upon the consummation of this offering, the forms of which will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Because this is only a summary, it may not contain all the information that is important to you.
General
Our authorized capital stock consists of          shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with no par value, all of which shares of preferred stock are undesignated. The Board may establish the rights and preferences of the preferred stock from time to time. Immediately following this offering, we will have          shares of common stock outstanding (or          % if the underwriters exercise in full their option to acquire additional shares) and no preferred stock outstanding.
As of the date of this prospectus, there are no shares of common stock subject to options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, our common equity; however, as described in the section entitled “Executive and Director Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Going Forward-Long-Term Incentive Awards,” we intend to issue certain equity-based awards upon the separation.
Common Stock
Holders of our common stock are entitled to the rights set forth below.
Voting Rights
Each holder of our common stock will be entitled to one vote for each share on all matters to be voted upon by stockholders. At each meeting of the stockholders, a majority in voting power of our shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum.
Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes entitled to be cast. Our stockholders will not have cumulative voting rights. Except as otherwise provided in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or as required by law, any question brought before any meeting of stockholders, other than the election of directors, will be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total number of votes of our shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on such question, voting as a single class.
Dividends
Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding preferred stock, holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive ratably the dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board out of funds legally available for that purpose. If there is a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us, holders of our common stock would be entitled to ratable distribution of its assets remaining after the payment in full of liabilities and any preferential rights of any then-outstanding preferred stock.
No Preemptive or Similar Rights
Holders of our common stock will have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. After the distribution, all outstanding shares of our common stock will be fully paid and non-assessable.
Preferred Stock
Under the terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Board will be authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by the DGCL and by our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, to issue up to 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series without further action by the holders of our common stock. The Board will have the discretion, subject to limitations prescribed by the DGCL and by our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Various Provisions of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Provisions of the DGCL and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and takeover bids that

148

Table of Contents --------------

the Board may consider inadequate and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with Board. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of its ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure it outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute. We will be subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover statute. In general, Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the time the person became an interested stockholder, unless (i) prior to such time, the Board of Directors of such corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; (ii) upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of such corporation at the time the transaction commenced (excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) the voting stock owned by directors who are also officers or held in employee benefit plans in which the employees do not have a confidential right to tender or vote stock held by the plan); or (iii) on or subsequent to such time the business combination is approved by the Board of Directors of such corporation and authorized at a meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock of such corporation not owned by the interested stockholder. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own) 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. The existence of this provision would be expected to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the Board, including discouraging attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of our common stock held by our stockholders.
A Delaware corporation may “opt out” of Section 203 with an express provision in its original certificate of incorporation or an express provision in its certificate of incorporation or by-laws resulting from amendments approved by holders of at least a majority of the corporation’s outstanding voting shares. We will not elect to “opt out” of Section 203. However, Danaher and its affiliates have been approved by our Board as an interested stockholder (as defined in Section 203 of the DGCL) and therefore are not subject to Section 203. For so long as Danaher beneficially owns a majority of the total voting power of our outstanding shares, and therefore has the ability to designate a majority of the Board, directors designated by Danaher to serve on the Board would have the ability to pre-approve other parties, including potential transferees of Danaher’s shares of our common stock, so that Section 203 would not apply to such other parties.
Classified Board. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that our Board will be divided into three classes. The directors designated as Class I directors will have terms expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders following this offering, which we expect will be held in 2020. The directors designated as Class II directors will have terms expiring at the following year’s annual meeting of stockholders, which we expect will be held in 2021, and the directors designated as Class III directors will have terms expiring at the following year’s annual meeting of stockholders, which we expect will be held in 2022. Commencing with the first annual meeting of stockholders following the separation, directors for each class will be elected at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the year in which the term for that class expires and thereafter will serve for a term of three years. Under the classified board provisions, it would take at least two elections of directors for any individual or group to gain control of the Board. Accordingly, these provisions could discourage a third party from initiating a proxy contest, making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to gain control of us.
Removal of Directors. Our amended and restated bylaws will provide that our stockholders may remove our directors only for cause, by an affirmative vote of holders of at least the majority of our voting stock then outstanding.
Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that, from and after such time as Danaher ceases to beneficially own a majority of the total voting power of our outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the total voting power of our outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, voting as a single class, is required to amend certain provisions relating to the number, term, classification, removal and filling of vacancies with respect to the Board, the advance notice to be given for nominations for elections of directors, the calling of special meetings of stockholders, cumulative voting, stockholder action by written consent, certain relationships and transactions with Danaher, forum selection, the ability to amend the bylaws, the elimination of liability of directors to the extent permitted by Delaware law, director and officer indemnification and any provision relating to the amendment of any of these provisions.
Amendments to Bylaws. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws will provide that, from and after such time as Danaher ceases to beneficially own a majority of the total voting power of our outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, our amended and restated bylaws may only be amended by the Board or by the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the total voting power of our outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, voting as a single class.

149

Table of Contents --------------

Size of Board and Vacancies. Our amended and restated bylaws will provide that the Board will consist of not less than three nor greater than 15 directors, the exact number of which will be fixed exclusively by the Board. Any vacancies created in the Board resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause will be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum is present, or by a sole remaining director. Any director appointed to fill a vacancy on the Board will hold office until the earlier of the expiration of the term of office of the director whom he or she has replaced, a successor is duly elected and qualified or the earlier of such director’s death, resignation or removal.
Special Stockholder Meetings. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by the secretary upon a written request delivered to the secretary by (a) the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the entire Board, (b) the chairman of the Board or (c) the chief executive officer of the Corporation. Stockholders may not call special stockholder meetings.
Stockholder Action by Written Consent. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that, until such time as Danaher ceases to beneficially own a majority of the total voting power of our outstanding shares with respect to the election of directors, our stockholders may act by written consent. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will, from and after such time as Danaher ceases to beneficially own a majority of the total voting power of our outstanding shares entitled to vote with respect to the election of directors, expressly eliminate the right of our stockholders to act by written consent. From and after such time, stockholder action must take place at the annual or a special meeting of our stockholders.
Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will mandate that stockholder nominations for the election of directors will be given in accordance with the bylaws. The amended and restated bylaws will establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and nomination of candidates for election as directors as well as minimum qualification requirements for stockholders making the proposals or nominations. Additionally, the bylaws will require that candidates for election as director disclose their qualifications and make certain representations.
No Cumulative Voting. The DGCL provides that stockholders are denied the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless the company’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will not provide for cumulative voting.
Undesignated Preferred Stock. The authority that the Board will possess to issue preferred stock could potentially be used to discourage attempts by third parties to obtain control of us through a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise by making such attempts more difficult or more costly. The Board may be able to issue preferred stock with voting rights or conversion rights that, if exercised, could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock.
Conflicts of Interest; Corporate Opportunities
In order to address potential conflicts of interest between us and Danaher, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will contain certain provisions regulating and defining the conduct of our affairs to the extent that they may involve Danaher and its directors, officers and/or employees and our rights, powers, duties and liabilities and those of our directors, officers, employees and stockholders in connection with our relationship with Danaher. In general, these provisions recognize that we and Danaher may engage in the same or similar business activities and lines of business or have an interest in the same areas of corporate opportunities and that we and Danaher will continue to have contractual and business relations with each other, including directors, officers and/or employees of Danaher serving as our directors, officers and/or employees.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that Danaher will have no duty to communicate information regarding a corporate opportunity to us or to refrain from engaging in the same or similar lines of business or doing business with any of our clients, customers or vendors. Moreover, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that for so long as Danaher owns at least 10% of the total voting power of our outstanding shares with respect to the election of directors or otherwise has one or more directors, officers or employees serving as our director, officer or employee, in the event that any of our directors, officers or employees who is also a director, officer or employee of Danaher acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for us and Danaher, such director, officer or employee shall to the fullest extent permitted by law have fully satisfied and fulfilled his or her fiduciary duty, if any, with respect to such corporate opportunity, and we, to the fullest extent permitted by law, renounce any interest or expectancy in such business opportunity, and waive any claim that such business opportunity constituted a corporate opportunity that should have been presented to us or any of our affiliates, if he or she acts in a manner consistent with the following policy: such corporate opportunity offered to any person who is our director, officer or employee and who is also a director, officer or employee of Danaher shall belong to us only if such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as our director or officer and otherwise shall belong to Danaher.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation also will provide for special approval procedures that may be utilized if it is deemed desirable by Danaher, us, our affiliates or any other party, that we take action with specific regard to transactions or opportunities presenting potential conflicts of interest, out of an abundance of caution, to ensure that such transactions are not voidable, or that such an opportunity or opportunities are effectively disclaimed. Specifically, we may employ any of the following special procedures:
the material facts of the transaction and the director’s, officer’s or employee’s interest are disclosed or known to the Board or duly appointed committee of the Board and the Board or such committee authorizes, approves or ratifies the transaction by the affirmative vote or consent of a majority of the directors (or committee members) who have no direct or indirect interest in the transaction and, in any event, of at least two directors (or committee members); or
the material facts of the transaction and the director’s interest are disclosed or known to the stockholders entitled to vote and they authorize, approve or ratify such transaction.
Any person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of our common stock will be deemed to have consented to these provisions of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
Limitations on Liability, Indemnification of Officers and Directors and Insurance
The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors, and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will include such an exculpation provision. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws will include provisions that indemnify, to the fullest extent allowable under the DGCL, the personal liability of directors or officers for monetary damages for actions taken as our director or officer, or for serving at our request as a director or officer or another position at another corporation or enterprise, as the case may be. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws will also provide that we must indemnify and advance reasonable expenses to its directors and, subject to certain exceptions, officers, subject to its receipt of an undertaking from the indemnified party as may be required under the DGCL. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will expressly authorize us to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance to protect us, our directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions that will be in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. However, these provisions will not limit or eliminate our rights, or those of any stockholder, to seek non-monetary relief such as injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s duty of care. The provisions will not alter the liability of directors under the federal securities laws. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding against us or any of our directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.
Exclusive Forum
Unless we otherwise consent in writing, the sole and exclusive forum for (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (2) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees or stockholders to us or our stockholders, (3) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or (4) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware. Nothing in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws precludes stockholders that assert claims under the applicable securities laws from bringing such claims in state or federal court, subject to applicable law. This provision would not apply to claims brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.
Authorized but Unissued Shares
Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuance without stockholders approval. We may use additional shares for a variety of purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, to fund acquisitions and as employee compensation. As noted above, the existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock could also render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS
Prior to the completion of this offering, we intend to (i) enter into a five-year $250 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks, which we refer to as the “credit facility,” and (ii) borrow approximately $1.5 billion pursuant to a term loan agreement we expect to enter into with a syndicate of banks (consisting of a three-year, $750 million senior unsecured term loan facility and a three-year, €675 million senior unsecured term loan facility), which we refer to as the “term loans,” and collectively with the credit facility, as the “debt financing.” As described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds,” the proceeds from such $1.5 billion of borrowings will be paid to Danaher as partial consideration for Danaher’s transfer of the net assets of its Dental business to us. The debt financing will not be available for borrowings until the date on which certain conditions are satisfied, which we expect will be satisfied prior to the completion of this offering.
We anticipate that the debt financing instruments will contain customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our and/or our subsidiaries’ ability, subject to certain exceptions, to incur liens, merge, consolidate or sell or otherwise transfer assets, to enter into transactions with our affiliates and incur subsidiary indebtedness. We also anticipate that the debt financing instruments will contain customary events of default. Additional information regarding the debt financing, including interest and any prepayment provisions will be disclosed in subsequent amendments to this prospectus, as it becomes available.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
We cannot predict with certainty the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of our common stock or the availability of shares of our common stock for sale will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. We also cannot predict with certainty whether or when the distribution will occur or Danaher will otherwise sell its remaining shares of our common stock. The sale or other availability of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market or the perception that such sales could occur could adversely affect the prevailing market price of the common stock and our ability to raise equity capital in the future.
Upon completion of this offering, we will have          shares of common stock outstanding. As a result of the lock-up agreements (other than restrictions pursuant to lock-up agreements entered into by participants in the directed share program), other contractual restrictions on resale and the provisions of Rule 144, described below,          shares of our common stock to be sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act.
Sale of restricted shares
All of the shares of common stock sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except that any shares purchased by or owned by our “affiliates,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, may generally only be sold publicly in compliance with the limitations of Rule 144 described below. As defined in Rule 144, an affiliate of an issuer is a person that directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by or is under common control with, such issuer. Immediately following the completion of this offering, Danaher will own        % of our outstanding common stock (or          % if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares). Shares held by Danaher will be “restricted securities” as that term is used in Rule 144. Subject to contractual restrictions, including the lock-up agreements described below, Danaher will be entitled to sell these shares in the public market only if the sale of such shares is registered with the SEC or if the sale of such shares qualifies for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or any other applicable exemption under the Securities Act. At such time as these restricted shares become unrestricted and available for sale, the sale of these restricted shares, whether pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise, may have a negative effect on the price of our common stock.
S-8 registration statement
We intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 to register the issuance of an aggregate of          shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under our incentive plan. Such registration statement will become effective upon filing with the SEC, and shares of our common stock covered by such registration statement will be eligible for resale in the public market immediately after the effective date of such registration statement, subject to the lock-up agreements described in this prospectus.
Rule 144
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, beginning 90 days after the date of this offering, a person who is not one of our affiliates who has beneficially owned shares of our common stock for at least six months may sell shares without restriction, provided the current public information requirements of Rule 144 continue to be satisfied. In addition, any person who is not one of our affiliates at any time during the three months immediately preceding a proposed sale, and who has beneficially owned shares of our common stock for at least one year, would be entitled to sell an unlimited number of shares without restriction. Our affiliates who have beneficially owned shares of our common stock for at least six months are entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:
1% of the number of shares of our common stock then outstanding; and
the average weekly trading volume of our common stock on the NYSE during the four calendar weeks immediately preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.
Sales of restricted shares under Rule 144 are also subject to requirements regarding the manner of sale, notice, and the availability of current public information about us. Rule 144 also provides that affiliates relying on Rule 144 to sell shares of our common stock that are not restricted shares must nonetheless comply with the same restrictions applicable to restricted shares, other than the holding period requirement.
Lock-up agreements
We, certain of our anticipated officers and directors and Danaher have agreed with the underwriters that, without the prior written consent of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, we and they will not, subject to certain exceptions and extensions, during the period ending 180 days after the date of this prospectus, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose

of, directly or indirectly, or enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of our common stock or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC may, in its sole discretion and at any time without notice, release all or any portion of the shares of our common stock subject to the lock-up. See “Underwriting.”
Registration rights
Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, Danaher will be able to require us to effect the registration under the Securities Act of shares of our common stock that it will own after this offering. See “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Registration Rights Agreement.”

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME AND ESTATE TAX CONSEQUENCES FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS OF COMMON STOCK
The following are the material U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common stock acquired in this offering by a “Non-U.S. Holder” that holds such common stock as a “capital asset” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and that does not own, and has not owned, actually or constructively, more than 5% of our common stock. You are a Non-U.S. Holder if for U.S. federal income tax purposes you are a beneficial owner of our common stock that is:
a nonresident alien individual;
a foreign corporation; or
a foreign estate or trust.
You are not a Non-U.S. Holder if you are a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition, or if you are a former citizen or former resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If you are such a person, you should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common stock.
If you are a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and your activities.
This discussion is based on the Code, administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations, changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this prospectus may affect the tax consequences described herein, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances, including alternative minimum tax and Medicare contribution tax consequences and does not address any aspect of state, local or non-U.S. taxation, or any taxes other than income and estate taxes. You should consult your tax adviser with regard to the application of the U.S. federal tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.
Dividends
Distributions paid on our common stock will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent those distributions exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits, they will constitute a return of capital, which will first reduce your basis in our common stock, but not below zero, and then will be treated as gain from the sale of our common stock, as described below under “—Gain on Disposition of Our Common Stock.”
Dividends paid to you generally will be subject to withholding tax at a 30% rate or a reduced rate on the gross amount of such dividends (specified by an applicable income tax treaty). In order to obtain a reduced rate of withholding (subject to the discussion below under “—FATCA”), you will be required to provide a properly executed applicable Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8 certifying your entitlement to benefits under a treaty. A Non-U.S. Holder that does not timely furnish the required documentation, but that qualifies for a reduced treaty rate, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.
If dividends paid to you are effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by you in the United States), you will generally be taxed on the dividends in the same manner as a U.S. person. In this case, you will be exempt from the withholding tax discussed in the preceding paragraph, although you will be required to provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI in order to claim an exemption from withholding. You should consult your tax adviser with respect to other U.S. tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common stock, including the possible imposition of a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or a lower treaty rate) if you are a corporation.
Gain on Disposition of Our Common Stock
Subject to the discussions below under “—Information Reporting and Backup Withholding” and “—FATCA,” you generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on gain realized on a sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock unless:
the gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by you in the United States), or

156

Table of Contents --------------

we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation,” as defined in the Code, at any time within the five-year period preceding the disposition or your holding period, whichever period is shorter, and our common stock has ceased to be regularly traded on an established securities market prior to the beginning of the calendar year in which the sale or disposition occurs.
We believe that we are not, and do not anticipate becoming, a United States real property holding corporation.
If you recognize gain on a sale or other disposition of our common stock that is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by you in the United States), you will generally be taxed on such gain in the same manner as a U.S. person. You should consult your tax adviser with respect to other U.S. tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common stock, including the possible imposition of a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or a lower treaty rate) if you are a corporation.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Information returns are required to be filed with the IRS in connection with payments of dividends on our common stock. Unless you comply with certification procedures to establish that you are not a U.S. person, information returns may also be filed with the IRS in connection with the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of our common stock. Copies of information returns that are filed with the IRS may also be made available under the provisions of an applicable treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established.
You may be subject to backup withholding on payments on our common stock or on the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of our common stock unless you comply with certification procedures to establish that you are not a U.S. person or otherwise establish an exemption. Your provision of a properly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 certifying your non-U.S. status will permit you to avoid backup withholding. Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not additional taxes and may be refunded or credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
FATCA
Provisions of the Code commonly referred to as “FATCA” require withholding of 30% on payments of dividends on our common stock to “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied, or an exemption applies. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify these requirements. If FATCA withholding is imposed, a beneficial owner that is not a foreign financial institution generally may obtain a refund of any amounts withheld by filing a U.S. federal income tax return (which may entail significant administrative burden). While rules requiring FATCA withholding with respect to gross proceeds of certain dispositions of our common stock were scheduled to become effective before this offering, the U.S. Treasury recently released proposed regulations which, if finalized in their present form, would eliminate this gross proceeds federal withholding tax. In its preamble to the proposed regulations, the U.S. Treasury stated that taxpayers may generally rely on the proposed regulations until final regulations are issued. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the effects of FATCA on your investment in our common stock.
Federal Estate Tax
Individual Non-U.S. Holders and entities the property of which is potentially includible in such an individual’s gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes (for example, a trust funded by such an individual and with respect to which the individual has retained certain interests or powers), should note that, absent an applicable treaty exemption, our common stock will be treated as U.S.-situs property subject to U.S. federal estate tax.

UNDERWRITING
We are offering the shares of common stock described in this prospectus through a number of underwriters. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is acting as lead book‑running manager of the offering and as representative of the underwriters. We have entered into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to sell to the underwriters, and each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase, at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the number of shares of common stock listed next to its name in the following table:
Name
 
Number of Shares
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC

The underwriters are committed to purchase all the shares of common stock offered by us if they purchase any shares. The underwriting agreement also provides that if an underwriter defaults, the purchase commitments of non-defaulting underwriters may also be increased or the offering may be terminated.
The underwriters propose to offer the shares of common stock directly to the public at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to certain dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of $           per share. Any such dealers may resell shares to certain other brokers or dealers at a discount of up to $           per share from the initial public offering price. After the initial offering of the shares to the public, if all of the shares are not sold at the initial public offering price, the underwriters may change the offering price and the other selling terms. Sales of shares made outside of the United States may be made by affiliates of the underwriters.
The underwriters have an option to buy up to            additional shares of common stock from us to cover sales of shares by the underwriters which exceed the number of shares specified in the table above. The underwriters have 30 days from the date of this prospectus to exercise this option to purchase additional shares. If any shares are purchased with this option to purchase additional shares, the underwriters will purchase shares in approximately the same proportion as shown in the table above. If any additional shares of common stock are purchased, the underwriters will offer the additional shares on the same terms as those on which the shares are being offered.
The underwriting fee is equal to the public offering price per share of common stock less the amount paid by the underwriters to us per share of common stock. The underwriting fee is $          per share. The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts and commissions to be paid to the underwriters assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares.

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the web sites maintained by one or more underwriters, or selling group members, if any, participating in the offering. The underwriters may agree to allocate a number of shares to underwriters and selling group members for sale to their online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the representative to underwriters and selling group members that may make Internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations.

Our anticipated directors and executive officers, and Danaher, which we refer to each as a “lock-up party” and collectively as the “lock-up parties,” have entered into lock‑up agreements with the underwriters prior to the commencement of this offering pursuant to which each of these persons or entities, with limited exceptions, for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus, may not, without the prior written consent of J.P.

on behalf of the lock-up party or Envista regarding the establishment of such Rule 10b5-1 Plan, such announcement or filing will include a statement to the effect that no transfer of our common stock may be made under such plan during the 180-day restricted period, (I) any demands or requests for, the exercise of any right with respect to, or the taking of any action in preparation of, the registration by Envista under the Securities Act of the lock-up party’s shares of our common stock or other securities; provided, that no transfer of the lock-up party’s shares of our common stock registered pursuant to the exercise of any such right and no registration statement shall be filed under the Securities Act with respect to any of the lock-up party’s shares of our common stock during the 180-day restricted period, (J) the filing with the SEC of a registration statement relating to the distribution, the public disclosure of the intention to file with the SEC such a registration statement relating to the distribution or the public disclosure of the intention to effect the  distribution; provided that, in each case, no shares of our common stock may be sold or exchanged pursuant to such registration statement during the 180-day restricted period, and (K) in the event that Danaher effects a split-off exchange offer or spin-off of its interest in Envista prior to the expiration of the 180-day restricted period with the consent of J.P.

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.
We will apply to have our common stock approved for listing on the NYSE under the symbol “NVST.”
In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, which involve making bids for, purchasing and selling shares of common stock in the open market for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock while this offering is in progress. These stabilizing transactions may include making short sales of the common stock, which involves the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares of common stock than they are required to purchase in this offering, and purchasing shares of common stock on the open market to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales may be “covered” shorts, which are short positions in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares referred to above, or may be “naked” shorts, which are short positions in excess of that amount. The underwriters may close out any covered short position either by exercising their option to purchase additional shares, in whole or in part, or by purchasing shares in the open market. In making this determination, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market compared to the price at which the underwriters may purchase shares through the option to purchase additional shares. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the common stock in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. To the extent that the underwriters create a naked short position, they will purchase shares in the open market to cover the position.
The underwriters have advised us that, pursuant to Regulation M under the Securities Act, they may also engage in other activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the common stock, including the imposition of penalty bids. This means that if the representative of the underwriters purchase common stock in the open market in stabilizing transactions or to cover short sales, the representative can require the underwriters that sold those shares as part of this offering to repay the underwriting discounts received by them.
These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock, and, as a result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If the underwriters commence these activities, they may discontinue them at any time. The underwriters may carry out these transactions on the NYSE, in the over‑the‑counter market or otherwise.
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. The initial public offering price will be determined by negotiations between us and the representative of the underwriters. In determining the initial public offering price, we and the representative of the underwriters expect to consider a number of factors including:
the information set forth in this prospectus and otherwise available to the representative;
our prospects and the history and prospects for the industry in which we compete;
an assessment of our management;
our prospects for future earnings;
the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering;
the recent market prices of, and demand for, publicly traded common stock of generally comparable companies; and

160

other factors deemed relevant by the underwriters and us.
Neither we nor the underwriters can assure investors that an active trading market will develop for our shares of common stock, or that the shares will trade in the public market at or above the initial public offering price.
Other than in the United States, no action has been taken by us or the underwriters that would permit a public offering of the securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. The securities offered by this prospectus may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor may this prospectus or any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the offer and sale of any such securities be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of that jurisdiction. Persons into whose possession this prospectus comes are advised to inform themselves about and to observe any restrictions relating to the offering and the distribution of this prospectus. This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or a solicitation is unlawful.
The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. Certain of the underwriters and their affiliates have provided in the past to us and/or our affiliates and may provide from time to time in the future certain commercial banking, financial advisory, investment banking and other services for us and/or such affiliates in the ordinary course of their business, for which they have received and may continue to receive customary fees and commissions. In addition, from time to time, certain of the underwriters and their affiliates may effect transactions for their own account or the account of customers, and hold on behalf of themselves or their customers, long or short positions in our debt or equity securities or loans, and may do so in the future.
Directed Share Program
At our request, the underwriters have reserved in aggregate up to 3% of our shares of common stock offered by this prospectus for sale, at the initial public offering price, to certain individuals, including our directors, executive officers and employees, as well as persons with whom we have a business relationship, to the extent permitted under applicable laws and regulations in the United States and in various countries. If purchased by these persons, these shares will be subject to a 180-day lock-up restriction. The number of shares of common stock available for sale to the general public will be reduced to the extent these persons purchase such reserved shares. Any reserved shares that are not purchased by these persons will be offered by the underwriters to the general public on the same basis as the other shares offered by this prospectus.
Notice to Prospective Investors in the European Economic Area
In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area, which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a “Relevant Member State”), with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State, no offer of shares may be made to the public in that Relevant Member State other than:
A.

B.
to fewer than 100 or, if the Relevant Member State has implemented the relevant provision of the 2010 PD Amending Directive, 150, natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive), as permitted under the Prospectus Directive, subject to obtaining the prior consent of the representative; or
C.
in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, provided that no such offer of shares shall require the Company or any underwriter to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive.
Each person in a Relevant Member State who initially acquires any shares or to whom any offer is made will be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that it is a “qualified investor” within the meaning of the law in that Relevant Member State implementing Article 2(1)(e) of the Prospectus Directive. In the case of any shares being offered to a financial intermediary as that term is used in Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, each such financial intermediary will be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that the shares acquired by it in the offer have not been acquired on a non-discretionary basis on behalf of, nor have they been acquired with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in circumstances which may give rise to an offer of any shares  to the public other than their offer or resale in a Relevant Member State to qualified investors as so defined or in circumstances in which the prior consent of the representative has been obtained to each such proposed offer or resale.
The Company, the representative and their affiliates will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations, acknowledgments and agreements.

Accordingly any person making or intending to make an offer in that Relevant Member State of shares which are the subject of the offering contemplated in this prospectus may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Company or any of the underwriters to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive in relation to such offer. Neither the Company nor the underwriters have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of shares in circumstances in which an obligation arises for the Company or the underwriters to publish a prospectus for such offer.
For the purpose of the above provisions, the expression “an offer to the public” in relation to any shares in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the shares to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the shares, as the same may be varied in the Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in the Relevant Member State and the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC (including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member States) and includes any relevant implementing measure in the Relevant Member State and the expression “2010 PD Amending Directive” means Directive 2010/73/EU.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Danaher Corporation

Opinion on Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the Dental segment of Danaher Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related combined statements of earnings, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 16(b) (collectively referred to as the “combined financial statements”). In our opinion, the combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ Ernst & Young LLP

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2018.

DENTAL SEGMENT OF DANAHER CORPORATION
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying combined financial statements present the historical financial position, results of operations, changes in Danaher Corporation’s (“Danaher” or “Parent”) equity and cash flows of the Dental segment of Danaher (the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for the preparation of carved-out combined financial statements.
The Company provides products that are used to diagnose, treat and prevent disease and ailments of the teeth, gums and supporting bone, as well as to improve the aesthetics of the human smile. The Company is a leading worldwide provider of a broad range of dental implants, orthodontic appliances, general dental consumables, equipment and services, and is dedicated to driving technological innovations that help dental professionals improve clinical outcomes and enhance productivity.
On July 19, 2018, Parent announced its intention to spin-off its Dental business into a separate, publicly-traded company. In February 2019, Parent announced a modification of its plans, specifically that it now intends to conduct an initial public offering of shares of common stock of the Dental business (the “IPO”) in the second half of 2019, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including obtaining final approval from the Danaher Board of Directors, favorable ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other regulatory approvals. Prior to the closing of the IPO, the Company’s businesses will be transferred to Envista Holdings Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.
Subsequent to the anticipated IPO, Parent currently intends to distribute to its shareholders all or a portion of its remaining equity interest in the Dental business, which may include the spin-off of Dental business shares effected as a dividend to all its shareholders, the split-off of Dental business shares in exchange for Danaher shares or other securities, or any combination thereof in one transaction or in a series of transactions (collectively, the “Distribution”). While Parent currently intends to effect the Distribution, it has no obligation to pursue or consummate any further dispositions of its ownership in the Dental business, including through the Distribution, by any specified date or at all. If pursued, the Distribution may be subject to various conditions, including receipt of any necessary regulatory or other approvals, the existence of satisfactory market conditions, and the receipt of an opinion of counsel to the effect that the separation of the Dental business in connection with the IPO, together with such Distribution, will be tax-free to Parent and its shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The conditions to the Distribution may not be satisfied; Parent may decide not to consummate the Distribution even if the conditions are satisfied; or Parent may decide to waive one or more of these conditions and consummate the Distribution even if all of the conditions are not satisfied. In addition to, or in lieu of the Distribution, subsequent to the IPO Parent may sell additional shares of the Dental business in one or more publicly registered offerings or private placements. Parent cannot assure whether or when any such transaction will be consummated or as to the final terms of any such transaction.
The Company operates in two business segments: Specialty Products & Technologies and Equipment & Consumables .
The Company’s Specialty Products & Technologies segment develops, manufactures and markets dental implant systems, dental prosthetics and associated treatment software and technologies, as well as orthodontic bracket systems, aligners and lab products.
The Company’s Equipment & Consumables segment develops, manufactures and markets dental equipment and supplies used in dental offices, including digital imaging systems, software and other visualization/magnification systems; handpieces and associated consumables; treatment units and other dental practice equipment; endodontic systems and related consumables; restorative materials and instruments, rotary burs, impression materials, bonding agents and cements and infection prevention products.
The Company has historically operated as part of Parent and not as a separate, publicly-traded company. The financial statements have been derived from Parent’s historical accounting records and are presented on a carve-out basis. All revenues and costs as well as assets and liabilities directly associated with the business activity of the Company are included as a component of the financial statements. The financial statements also include allocations of certain general, administrative, sales and marketing expenses and cost of sales from Parent’s corporate office and from other Parent businesses to the Company and allocations of related assets, liabilities, and Parent’s investment, as applicable. The allocations have been determined on a reasonable basis; however, the amounts are not necessarily representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the financial statements had the Company been an entity that operated independently of Parent. Related-party allocations are discussed further in Note 17 .
As part of Parent, the Company is dependent upon Parent for all of its working capital and financing requirements as Parent uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. Financial transactions relating to the

F- 8

Table of Contents --------------

Company are accounted for through the Parent investment account of the Company. Accordingly, none of Parent’s cash, cash equivalents or debt at the corporate level has been assigned to the Company in these financial statements.
Net Parent investment, which includes retained earnings, represents Parent’s interest in the recorded net assets of the Company. All significant transactions between the Company and Parent have been included in the accompanying combined financial statements. Transactions with Parent are reflected in the accompanying Combined Statements of Changes in Equity as “Net transfers to Parent” and in the accompanying Combined Balance Sheets within “Net Parent investment.”
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the businesses comprising the Company have been eliminated in the accompanying combined financial statements.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates —The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company bases these estimates on historical experience, the current economic environment and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, uncertainties associated with these estimates exist and actual results may differ materially from these estimates.
Accounts Receivable and Allowances for Doubtful Accounts —All trade accounts and finance receivables are reported on the accompanying Combined Balance Sheets adjusted for any write-offs and net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The allowances for doubtful accounts represent management’s best estimate of the credit losses expected from the Company’s trade accounts and finance receivable portfolios. Determination of the allowances requires management to exercise judgment about the timing, frequency and severity of credit losses that could materially affect the provision for credit losses and, therefore, net earnings. The Company regularly performs detailed reviews of its portfolios to determine if an impairment has occurred and evaluates the collectability of receivables based on a combination of various financial and qualitative factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay, including customers’ financial condition, collateral, debt-servicing ability, past payment experience and credit bureau information. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded against amounts due to reduce the recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected. Additions to the allowances for doubtful accounts are charged to current period earnings, amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged directly against the allowances, while amounts recovered on previously written-off accounts increase the allowances. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional reserves would be required. The Company recorded $4.7 million , $5.8 million , and $3.5 million of expense associated with doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively.
Sales to the Company’s largest customer were 14% , 15% and 16% of combined sales in the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively. No other individual customer accounted for more than 10% of combined sales in 2018 , 2017 or 2016 . Accounts receivable from this customer accounted for 8% and 11% of total customer receivables as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively.
Inventory Valuation —Inventories include the costs of material, labor and overhead. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market primarily using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.
Property, Plant and Equipment —Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. The provision for depreciation has been computed principally by the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets as follows:
Category
 
Useful Life
Buildings
 
30 years
Leased assets and leasehold improvements
 
Amortized over the lesser of the economic life of the asset or the term of the lease
Machinery and equipment
 
3 – 10 years
Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed and, when appropriate, changes to estimates are made prospectively.
Investments —Investments over which the Company has a significant influence but not a controlling interest, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting which requires the Company to record its initial investment at cost and adjust the balance each period for the Company’s share of the investee’s income or loss and dividends paid. Beginning in 2018 with the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, the Company measures non-marketable equity securities at fair

F- 9

Table of Contents --------------

value and recognizes changes in fair value in net earnings. For securities without readily available fair values, the Company has elected the measurement alternative to record these investments at cost and to adjust for impairments and observable price changes with a same or similar security from the same issuer within net earnings (the “Fair Value Alternative”). No significant realized or unrealized gains or losses were recorded in 2018 with respect to these investments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments —The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of trade accounts receivable, nonqualified deferred compensation plans, and obligations under trade accounts payable. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values for trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable approximate fair value. Refer to Note 8 for the fair values of the Company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plans.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets —Goodwill and other intangible assets result from the Company’s acquisition of existing businesses. In accordance with accounting standards related to business combinations, goodwill is not amortized; however, certain finite-lived identifiable intangible assets, primarily customer relationships and acquired technology, are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. In-process research and development (“IPR&D”) is initially capitalized at fair value and when the IPR&D project is complete, the asset is considered a finite-lived intangible asset and amortized over its estimated useful life. If an IPR&D project is abandoned, an impairment loss equal to the value of the intangible asset is recorded in the period of abandonment. The Company reviews identified intangible assets and goodwill for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company also tests intangible assets with indefinite lives and goodwill at least annually for impairment. Refer to Notes 4 and 7 for additional information about the Company’s goodwill and other intangible assets.
Revenue Recognition —On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 using the modified retrospective method for all contracts. Results for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition.
The Company recorded a net decrease to beginning Parent’s equity of $8 million as of January 1, 2018 due to the cumulative impact of adopting ASC 606. The impact to beginning Parent’s equity was primarily driven by the deferral of revenue for unfulfilled performance obligations. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Combined Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 and, as a result, comparisons of revenues and operating profit performance between periods are not affected by the adoption of this ASU. Refer to Note 3 for additional disclosures required by ASC 606.
The Company derives revenues primarily from the sale of Specialty Products & Technologies and Equipment & Consumables products and services. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised products or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services (the transaction price). A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to a customer and is the unit of account under ASC 606. For equipment, consumables and spare parts sold by the Company, control transfers to the customer at a point in time. To indicate the transfer of control, the Company must have a present right to payment, legal title must have passed to the customer, the customer must have the significant risks and rewards of ownership, and where acceptance is not a formality, the customer must have accepted the product or service. The Company’s principal terms of sale are FOB Shipping Point, or equivalent, and, as such, the Company primarily transfers control and records revenue for product sales upon shipment. Sales arrangements with delivery terms that are not FOB Shipping Point are not recognized upon shipment and the transfer of control for revenue recognition is evaluated based on the associated shipping terms and customer obligations. If a performance obligation to the customer with respect to a sales transaction remains to be fulfilled following shipment (typically installation or acceptance by the customer), revenue recognition for that performance obligation is deferred until such commitments have been fulfilled. Returns for products sold are estimated and recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of sale. Customer allowances and rebates, consisting primarily of volume discounts and other short-term incentive programs, are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of sale because these allowances reflect a reduction in the transaction price. Product returns, customer allowances and rebates are estimated based on historical experience and known trends. For extended warranty and service, control transfers to the customer over the term of the arrangement. Revenue for extended warranty and service is recognized based upon the period of time elapsed under the arrangement.
For a contract with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis using the Company’s best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct product or service in the contract. The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the price observed in standalone sales to customers; however, when prices in standalone sales are not available the Company may use third-party pricing for similar products or services or estimate the standalone selling price. Allocation of the transaction price is determined at the contracts’ inception. The Company does not adjust transaction price for the effects of a significant

financing component when the period between the transfer of the promised good or service to the customer and payment for that good or service by the customer is expected to be one year or less.
Shipping and Handling —Shipping and handling costs are included as a component of cost of sales. Revenue derived from shipping and handling costs billed to customers is included in sales.
Advertising —Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Research and Development —The Company conducts research and development activities for the purpose of developing new products, enhancing the functionality, effectiveness, ease of use and reliability of the Company’s existing products and expanding the applications for which uses of the Company’s products are appropriate. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes —The Company’s domestic and foreign operating results are included in the income tax returns of Parent. The Company accounts for income taxes under the separate return method. Under this approach, the Company determines its deferred tax assets and liabilities and related tax expense as if it were filing separate tax returns. The accompanying Combined Balance Sheets do not contain a current taxes payable liability as it is deemed settled with Parent when due and therefore included in Parent’s equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted rates expected to be in effect during the year in which the differences reverse. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in the Company’s tax return in future years for which the tax benefit has already been reflected on the Company’s Combined Statements of Earnings. The Company establishes valuation allowances for its deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent items that have already been taken as a deduction on the Company’s tax return but have not yet been recognized as an expense in the Company’s Combined Statements of Earnings. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities due to a change in tax rates is recognized in income tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company provides for unrecognized tax benefits when, based upon the technical merits, it is “more likely than not” that an uncertain tax position will not be sustained upon examination.  Judgment is required in evaluating tax positions and determining income tax provisions. The Company re-evaluates the technical merits of its tax positions and may recognize an uncertain tax benefit in certain circumstances, including when: (1) a tax audit is completed; (2) applicable tax laws change, including a tax case ruling or legislative guidance; or (3) the applicable statute of limitations expires. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax positions in income tax expense. Refer to Note 11 for additional information and discussion of the impact of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) in the United States.
Productivity Improvement and Restructuring —The Company periodically initiates productivity improvement and restructuring activities to appropriately position the Company’s cost base relative to prevailing economic conditions and associated customer demand as well as in connection with certain acquisitions. Costs associated with productivity improvement and restructuring actions can include one-time termination benefits and related charges in addition to facility closure, contract termination and other related activities. The Company records the cost of the productivity improvement and restructuring activities when the associated liability is incurred. Refer to Note 12 for additional information.
Foreign Currency Translation —Exchange rate adjustments resulting from foreign currency transactions are recognized in net earnings, whereas effects resulting from the translation of financial statements are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within Parent’s equity. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside the United States with a functional currency other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars using year-end exchange rates and income statement accounts are translated at weighted average rates. Net foreign currency transaction gains or losses were not material in any of the years presented.
Loss Contingencies —The Company records a reserve for loss contingencies when it is both probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. The Company evaluates pending litigation and other contingencies at least quarterly and adjusts the reserve for such contingencies for changes in probable and reasonably estimable losses. The Company includes an estimate for related legal costs at the time such costs are both probable and reasonably estimable.

(a) This accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component is included in the computation of net periodic pension cost (refer to Note 10 for additional details).
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation —Certain employees of the Company participate in Parent’s stock-based compensation plan which includes stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”). The

F- 12

Table of Contents --------------

Company accounts for stock-based compensation incurred by Parent by measuring the cost of employee services received in exchange for all equity awards granted, including stock options, RSUs and PSUs based on the fair value of the award as of the grant date. Equity-based compensation expense is recognized net of an estimated forfeiture rate on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, except that in the case of RSUs, compensation expense is recognized using an accelerated attribution method. Refer to Note 15 for additional information on Parent’s stock-based compensation plan.
Pension Plans —The Company measures its pension assets and obligations that determine the funded status as of the end of the Company’s fiscal year, and recognizes an asset for an overfunded status or a liability for an underfunded status in its balance sheet. Changes in the funded status of the pension plans are recognized in the year in which the changes occur and reported in comprehensive income (loss). Refer to Note 10 for additional information on the Company’s pension plans including a discussion of the actuarial assumptions, the Company’s policy for recognizing the associated gains and losses and the method used to estimate service and interest cost components.
Accounting Standards Recently Adopted —In March 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2018-05,  Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118,  which allowed Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registrants to record provisional amounts in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2017 due to the complexities involved in accounting for the enactment of the TCJA. The Company recognized the estimated income tax effects of the TCJA in its 2017 Combined Financial Statements in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB No. 118”). The provisional amounts recorded in 2017 were adjusted to final estimates in 2018 in connection with filing tax returns for 2017. Refer to Note 11 for further information regarding the impact of these provisions for both 2017 and 2018.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02,  Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , to address a specific consequence of the TCJA by allowing a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to net Parent investment for stranded tax effects resulting from the TCJA’s reduction of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate. The ASU is effective for all entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and is to be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the TCJA is recognized. The Company early adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018 and as a result recorded a net increase to beginning net Parent investment and decrease to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of  $0.2 million  to reclassify the income tax effects of the TCJA on the Company’s U.S. pension plans. The ASU also requires the Company to disclose its policy on accounting for income tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). In general, the Company applies the portfolio approach with respect to pension plan obligations and currency translation matters.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting , which provided clarity on which changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply the modification accounting provisions required in Topic 718. The adoption of this ASU on January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Combined Financial Statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07,  Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (“ASU No. 2017-07”), which requires employers to disaggregate the service cost component from other components of net periodic benefit costs and to disclose the amounts of net periodic benefit costs that are included in each income statement line item. The standard requires employers to report the service cost component in the same line item as other compensation costs and to report the other components of net periodic benefit costs (which include interest costs, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service cost or credits and actuarial gains and losses) separately and outside a subtotal of operating income. The service cost component of net periodic pension cost is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Combined Statements of Earnings and the other components of net periodic pension cost are included in nonoperating income (expense), net. The ASU was adopted as of January 1, 2017 and all prior period disclosures included in these financial statements have been updated to reflect this guidance. Other than the presentation of the components of pension expense in the Combined Statements of Earnings, the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s Combined Financial Statements. Refer to Note 10 for further information on the implementation of this ASU.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01,  Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . The ASU amends guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, including significant revisions in accounting related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities when the Fair Value Alternative is elected. The ASU requires equity securities to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through net earnings and amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. In the period of adoption, the Company is required to reclassify the unrealized gains/losses on equity securities within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to Parent’s

equity. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10), which clarified certain aspects of the previously issued ASU. The ASU was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2018 and did not have a material effect on the Company’s Combined Financial Statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09,  Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance. Subsequent to the issuance of Topic 606, the FASB clarified the guidance through several ASUs; hereinafter the collection of revenue guidance is referred to as “ASC 606.” The core principle of ASC 606 is that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Refer to the discussion above in “— Revenue Recognition ” and to Note 3 for additional disclosures required by ASC 606.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Disclosure Framework Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans , which amends ASC 715 to add, remove, and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension plans. The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Management has not yet completed its assessment of the impact of the new standard on the Company’s Combined Financial Statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), which modifies the disclosures on fair value measurements by removing the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the policy for timing of such transfers. The ASU expands the disclosure requirements for Level 3 fair value measurements, primarily focused on changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income (loss). The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Management has not yet completed its assessment of the impact of the new standard on the Company’s Combined Financial Statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,  Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. In November 2018, April 2019, and May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses , Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, and ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief which provided additional implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU. Management has not yet completed its assessment of the impact of the new standard on the Company’s Combined Financial Statements. Currently, the Company believes that the most notable impact of this ASU will relate to its processes around the assessment of the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts on trade accounts receivable and the recognition of credit losses.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,  Leases (Topic 842) , which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. The standard also requires disclosures by lessees and lessors about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition approach and provides for certain practical expedients. The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In September 2017, January 2018, July 2018 and December 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-13,  Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) , Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840) , and Leases (Topic 842) , ASU No. 2018-01,  Leases (Topic 842) , Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842 , ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements, ASU No. 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842), Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors and ASU No. 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842), Codification Improvements , which provided additional implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU. The Company has implemented a new lease system and the related processes and controls for the accounting for leases in accordance with the ASU. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted this ASU using the modified retrospective method for all lease arrangements at the beginning of the period of adoption. Results for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2019 will be presented under ASC 842, while prior period amounts will not be adjusted and will continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting under ASC 840, Leases . As of January 1, 2019, the standard had a material impact on the Company’s Combined Balance Sheet, but is expected to have an insignificant impact on the Company’s combined net earnings and cash flows. The most significant impact was the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, while the accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. For leases that commenced before the effective date of ASC 842, the Company elected the permitted practical expedients to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases; (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) capitalization of initial direct costs for any existing leases.

As a result of the cumulative impact of adopting ASC 842, the Company recorded operating lease ROU assets of $182 million and additional operating lease liabilities of $191 million as of January 1, 2019, primarily related to real estate and automobile leases.

The Company sells equipment to customers as well as consumables, spare parts and services. The Company’s Equipment & Consumables products include traditional consumables such as bonding agents and cements, impression materials, infection prevention products and restorative products, while the Company’s equipment products includes treatment units, instruments, digital imaging systems, software and other visualization and magnification systems. The Company’s Specialty Products & Technologies products include implants, prosthetics, orthodontic brackets, aligners and lab products.
Remaining Performance Obligations
ASC 606 requires disclosure of remaining performance obligations that represent the aggregate transaction price allocated to performance obligations with an original contract term greater than one year which are fully or partially unsatisfied at the end of the period. Remaining performance obligations include noncancelable purchase orders, extended warranty and service and do not include revenue from contracts with customers with an original term of one year or less. While the remaining performance obligation disclosure is similar in concept to backlog, the definition of remaining performance obligations excludes contracts that provide the customer with the right to cancel or terminate for convenience with no substantial penalty, even if historical experience indicates the likelihood of cancellation or termination is remote. Additionally, the Company has elected to exclude contracts with customers with an original term of one year or less from remaining performance obligations while these contracts are included within backlog.
As of December 31, 2018 , the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $25 million and the Company expects to recognize revenue on the majority of this amount over the next 12 months.
Contract Liabilities
The Company often receives cash payments from customers in advance of the Company’s performance resulting in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities are classified as either current or long-term in the Combined Balance Sheet based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize revenue. As of December 31, 2018 and at the date of adoption of ASC 606, contract liabilities were $62 million and $68 million , respectively, and are included within accrued expenses and other liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Combined Balance Sheet. The decrease in the contract liability balance during the year ended December 31, 2018 is primarily as a result of revenue recognized during the period that was included in the contract liability balance at the date of adoption, partially offset by cash payments received in advance of satisfying performance obligations. Revenue recognized during the year ended  December 31, 2018  that was included in the

contract liability balance at the date of adoption was  $60 million . Contract liabilities are reported on the accompanying Combined Balance Sheet on a contract-by-contract basis.

NOTE 4. ACQUISITIONS
The Company continually evaluates potential acquisitions that either strategically fit with the Company’s existing portfolio or expand the Company’s portfolio into a new and attractive business area. The Company has completed a number of acquisitions that have been accounted for as purchases and have resulted in the recognition of goodwill in the Company’s Combined Financial Statements. This goodwill arises because the purchase prices for these businesses reflect a number of factors including the future earnings and cash flow potential of these businesses, the multiple to earnings, cash flow and other factors at which similar businesses have been purchased by other acquirers, the competitive nature of the processes by which the Company acquired the businesses, the avoidance of the time and costs which would be required (and the associated risks that would be encountered) to enhance the Company’s existing product offerings to key target markets and enter into new and profitable businesses, and the complementary strategic fit and resulting synergies these businesses bring to existing operations.
The Company makes an initial allocation of the purchase price at the date of acquisition based upon its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company obtains this information during due diligence and through other sources. In the months after closing, as the Company obtains additional information about these assets and liabilities, including through tangible and intangible asset appraisals, and learns more about the newly acquired business, it is able to refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price. Only items identified as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment.
There were no material business acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2018 . The Company acquired 51% of a business for no net cash consideration during the year ended December 31, 2017 . The Company acquired one business in 2016 for total consideration of $5 million .
Acquisition of Noncontrolling Interest
In 2017 , the Company acquired the remaining noncontrolling interest and settled other related liabilities associated with one of its prior business combinations in its Specialty Products & Technologies segment for consideration of $89 million . The Company recorded the increase in ownership interests as a transaction within net Parent investment and recorded the settlement of the liabilities as a reduction of the other long-term liabilities balance. As a result of this transaction, noncontrolling interests were reduced by  $63 million  reflecting the carrying value of the interest with the  $1 million  difference charged to net Parent investment and the other long-term liability balance decreased by approximately $25 million . In connection with settlement of the liabilities, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $10 million .

NOTE 7. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
As discussed in Note 4 , goodwill arises from the purchase price for acquired businesses exceeding the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired less assumed liabilities. Management assesses the goodwill of each of its reporting units for impairment at least annually as of the first day of the fourth quarter and as “triggering” events occur that indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. The Company elected to bypass the optional qualitative goodwill assessment allowed by applicable accounting standards and performed a quantitative impairment test for all reporting units as this was determined to be the most effective method to assess the Company’s reporting units for impairment.
The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units primarily using a market approach, based on current trading multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for companies operating in businesses similar to each of the Company’s reporting units, in addition to recent available market sale transactions of comparable businesses. In certain circumstances the Company will also estimate fair value utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis (i.e., an income approach) in order to validate the results of the market approach. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company must perform additional analysis to determine if the reporting unit’s goodwill has been impaired.
As of December 31, 2018 , the Company had three reporting units for goodwill impairment testing. The carrying value of the goodwill included in each individual reporting unit ranges from $613 million to approximately $1.4 billion .
No goodwill impairment charges were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 and no “triggering” events have occurred subsequent to the performance of the 2018 annual impairment test. The factors used by management in its impairment analysis are inherently subject to uncertainty. If actual results are not consistent with management’s estimates and assumptions, goodwill and other intangible assets may be overstated and a charge would need to be taken against net earnings.

In 2018 , the Company determined that certain trade names in the Specialty Products & Technologies segment were finite-lived and the Company began amortizing these trade names as of January 1, 2018. The Company did not acquire any material finite-lived intangible assets during 2018 and 2017 .
Total intangible amortization expense in 2018 , 2017 and 2016 was $91 million , $82 million and $83 million , respectively. Based on the intangible assets recorded as of December 31, 2018 , amortization expense is estimated to be $91 million during 2019 , $87 million during 2020 , $82 million during 2021 , $82 million during 2022 and $78 million during 2023 .  

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Accounting standards define fair value based on an exit price model, establish a framework for measuring fair value where the Company’s assets and liabilities are required to be carried at fair value and provide for certain disclosures related to the valuation methods used within a valuation hierarchy as established within the accounting standards. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, or other observable characteristics for the asset or liability, including interest rates, yield curves and credit risks, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data through correlation. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety .
A summary of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows ($ in millions):

Certain management employees of the Company participate in Parent’s nonqualified deferred compensation programs that permit such employees to defer a portion of their compensation, on a pretax basis. All amounts deferred under this plan are unfunded, unsecured obligations of Parent and are presented as a component of the Company’s compensation and benefits accrual included in accrued expenses in the accompanying Combined Balance Sheets (refer to Note 9 ). Participants may choose among alternative earnings rates for the amounts they defer, which are primarily based on investment options within Parent’s 401(k) program. Changes in the deferred compensation liability under these programs are recognized based on changes in the fair value of the participants’ accounts, which are based on the applicable earnings rates on investment options

NOTE 10. PENSION BENEFIT PLANS
Certain of the Company’s employees participate in noncontributory defined benefit pension plans and under certain of these plans, benefit accruals continue. In general, the Company’s policy is to fund these plans based on considerations relating to legal requirements, underlying asset returns, the plan’s funded status, the anticipated deductibility of the contribution, local practices, market conditions, interest rates and other factors.

On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-07, which requires the Company to disaggregate the service cost component from other components of net periodic benefit costs and report the service cost component in the same line item as other compensation costs and the other components of net periodic benefit costs (which include interest costs, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service cost or credits and actuarial gains and losses) separately and outside a subtotal of operating profit. This ASU requires application on a retrospective basis and the prior period presentation reflects the adoption of this ASU. The net periodic benefit cost of the noncontributory defined benefit pension plans incurred during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 are reflected in the following captions in the accompanying Combined Statement of Earnings ($ in millions):

The discount rate reflects the market rate on December 31 of the prior year for high-quality fixed-income investments with maturities corresponding to the Company’s benefit obligations and is subject to change each year. The rates appropriate for each plan are determined based on investment grade instruments with maturities approximately equal to the average expected benefit payout under the plan. During 2018, the Company updated the mortality assumptions used to estimate the projected benefit obligation to reflect updated mortality tables which extend the life expectancy of the participants.
Included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of December 31, 2018 are the following amounts that have not yet been recognized in net periodic pension cost: unrecognized prior service credits of $1.0 million ($ 0.7 million , net of tax) and unrecognized actuarial losses of $6.1 million ( $4.6 million , net of tax). The unrecognized losses and prior service credits, net, is calculated as the difference between the actuarially determined projected benefit obligation and the value of the plan assets less accrued pension costs as of December 31, 2018 . The prior service credits and actuarial losses included in accumulated comprehensive income (loss) and expected to be recognized in net periodic pension costs during the year ending December 31, 2019 is a prior service credit of $0.1 million ( $0.1 million , net of tax) and an actuarial loss of $0.6 million ( $0.4 million , net of tax), respectively. No plan assets are expected to be returned to the Company during the year ending December 31, 2019 .
Selection of Expected Rate of Return on Assets
The expected rate of return reflects the asset allocation of the plans, and is based primarily on contractual earnings rates included in existing insurance contracts as well as on broad, publicly-traded equity and fixed-income indices and forward-looking estimates of active portfolio and investment management. Long-term rate of return on asset assumptions for the plans were determined on a plan-by-plan basis based on the composition of assets and ranged from 1.8% to 5.8% in both 2018 and 2017 , with a weighted average rate of return assumption of 3.6% and 3.7% in 2018 and 2017 , respectively.
Plan Assets
Plan assets are invested in various insurance contracts, equity and debt securities as determined by the administrator of each plan. The value of the plan assets directly affects the funded status of the Company’s pension plans recorded in the Combined Financial Statements.
The Company has some investments that are valued using Net Asset Value (“NAV”) as the practical expedient. In addition, some of the investments valued using NAV as the practical expedient may only allow redemption monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually and require up to 90 days prior written notice. These investments valued using NAV primarily consist of mutual funds which allow the Company to diversify the portfolio.

(a) The fair value amounts presented in the table above are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the total plan assets.
Corporate bonds that are not traded on an active market are valued at quoted prices reported by investment brokers and dealers based on the underlying terms of the security and comparison to similar securities traded on an active market. Insurance contracts are valued based upon the quoted prices of the underlying investments of the insurance company.
Mutual funds are valued using the NAV based on the information provided by the asset fund managers, which reflects the plan’s share of the fair value of the net assets of the investment.
The methods described above may produce a fair value estimate that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes the valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with the methods used by other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

Other Matters
Substantially all employees not covered by defined benefit plans are covered by defined contribution plans, which generally provide for Company funding based on a percentage of compensation.
A limited number of the Company’s subsidiaries participate in multiemployer defined benefit and contribution plans, primarily outside of the United States, that require the Company to periodically contribute funds to the plan. The risks of participating in a multiemployer plan differ from the risks of participating in a single-employer plan in the following respects: (1) assets contributed to the multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers, (2) if a participating employer ceases contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be required to be borne by the remaining participating employers and (3) if the Company elects to stop participating in the plan, the Company may be required to pay the plan an amount based on the unfunded status of the plan. None of the multiemployer plans in which the Company’s subsidiaries participate are considered to be quantitatively or qualitatively significant, either individually or in the aggregate. In addition, contributions made to these plans during  2018 , 2017 and 2016 and were not considered significant, either individually or in the aggregate.
Expense for all defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans amounted to $ 20 million , $ 20 million and $18 million for the years ended  December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively.

NOTE 11. INCOME TAXES
The operating results of the Company are included in the income tax returns of Parent. The Company accounts for income taxes under the separate return method. Under this approach, the Company allocates current and deferred taxes to each entity as if were a separate taxpayer. The sum of the amounts allocated to individual entities may not equal Parent’s consolidated amount. The Company’s pretax operating results exclude any intercompany financing arrangements between entities and include any transactions with Parent as if it were an unrelated party.

Deferred taxes associated with U.S. entities consist of net deferred tax liabilities of $149 million  and  $134 million  as of  December 31, 2018  and  2017 , respectively. Deferred taxes associated with non-U.S. entities consist of net deferred tax liabilities of  $53 million  and  $59 million  as of  December 31, 2018  and  2017 , respectively. As of  December 31, 2018 , the total amount of the basis difference in

F- 24

Table of Contents --------------

investments outside the United States for which deferred taxes have not been provided is $220 million . As of  December 31, 2018 , the Company had no plans which would subject these basis differences to income taxes in the United States or elsewhere.
On December 22, 2017, the TCJA was enacted, substantially changing the U.S. tax system and affecting the Company in a number of ways. Notably, the TCJA:
established a flat corporate income tax rate of   21.0%   on U.S. earnings;
imposed a one-time tax on unremitted cumulative non-U.S. earnings of foreign subsidiaries  (“Transition Tax”);
imposed a new minimum tax on certain non-U.S. earnings, irrespective of the territorial system of taxation, and generally allows for the repatriation of future earnings of foreign subsidiaries without incurring additional U.S. taxes by transitioning to a territorial system of taxation;
subjected certain payments made by U.S. companies to related foreign companies to certain minimum taxes (Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax);
eliminated certain prior tax incentives for manufacturing in the United States and created an incentive for U.S. companies to sell, lease or license goods and services abroad by allowing for a reduction in taxes owed on earnings related to such sales;
allowed the cost of investments in certain depreciable assets acquired and placed in service after September 27, 2017 to be immediately expensed; and
reduced deductions with respect to certain compensation paid to specified executive officers.
As U.S. GAAP accounting for income taxes requires the effect of a change in tax laws or rates to be recognized in income from continuing operations for the period that includes the enactment date, the Company recognized an estimate of the impact of the TCJA in the year ended December 31, 2017 under the separate return method. As a result of the TCJA, the Company recognized a provisional tax liability of $36 million  in 2017 for the Transition Tax. The Company also remeasured U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the income tax rates at which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to reverse in the future (generally 21%), resulting in an income tax benefit of $73 million  in 2017 .
Due to the complexities involved in accounting for the enactment of the TCJA , SAB No. 118 allowed the Company to record provisional amounts in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2017 . Where reasonable estimates could be made, the provisional accounting was based on such estimates. When no reasonable estimate could be made, SAB No. 118 required the accounting to be based on the tax law in effect before the TCJA. The Company was required to complete its tax accounting for the TCJA when it had obtained, prepared and analyzed the information to complete the income tax accounting but no later than December 22, 2018.
Accordingly, during 2018 , the Company completed its accounting for the tax effects of the enactment of the TCJA based on the Company’s interpretation of the new tax regulations and related guidance issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS. The net tax effect to adjust the provisional amount was not material to the Company’s financial statements. Due to the complexity and recent issuance of these tax regulations, management’s interpretations of the impact of these rules could be subject to challenge by the taxing authorities.
The TCJA imposes tax on U.S. stockholders for global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. The Company is required to make an accounting policy election of either: (1) treating taxes due on future amounts included in U.S. taxable income related to GILTI as a current period tax expense when incurred (the “period cost method”); or (2) factoring such amounts into the Company’s measurement of its deferred tax expense (the “deferred method”). As of December 31, 2017 , the Company was still analyzing its global income and did not record a GILTI-related deferred tax amount. In 2018 , the Company elected the period cost method for its accounting for GILTI.

The Company’s effective tax rate for each of   2018 , 2017 and 2016   differs from the U.S. federal statutory rates of 21.0% for 2018 and 35.0% for 2017 and 2016 due principally to its earnings outside the United States that are indefinitely reinvested and taxed at rates different than the U.S. federal statutory rate. In addition:
The effective tax rate of  23.4%  in  2018  includes  60   basis points of net discrete tax benefits primarily related to the excess tax benefit associated with the exercise of employee stock options and vesting of RSUs, as well as the release of reserves upon the expiration of statutes of limitation, partially offset by increases in net reserves from audit settlements.
The effective tax rate of  22.1%  in  2017  includes  900   basis points of net discrete tax benefits primarily related to the revaluation of net U.S. deferred tax liabilities from 35.0% to 21.0% due to the TCJA as well as the excess tax benefit related to the exercise of employee stock options and vesting of RSUs, partially offset by income tax expense related to the Transition Tax on foreign earnings due to the TCJA as well as a valuation allowance on losses attributable to certain foreign jurisdictions.
The effective tax rate of  32.3%  in  2016  includes  60   basis points of net discrete tax benefits primarily from the release of valuation allowances on certain foreign net operating losses, partially offset by reduction of net operating loss benefits due to an audit settlement.
The Company’s income tax payable or receivable computed under the separate return method is adjusted to Parent’s equity as it does not represent a liability or asset with the relevant taxing authorities of the Company since the Company is a part of Parent’s consolidated tax returns filed with the taxing authorities. Ongoing settlement of income taxes payable or receivable are classified as operating cash flows. As the provisional amount recorded for the Transition Tax was not paid in the period and will be owed by Parent, the Company reflected the amount for the Transition Tax as a noncash item in the change in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Combined Statement of Cash Flows.
Current income tax payable to Parent has been reduced by $5 million , $8 million , and $9 million in 2018 , 2017 and 2016 respectively, for tax deductions attributable to stock-based compensation, of which, the excess tax benefit over the amount recorded for financial reporting purposes was $3 million , $5 million and $6 million in 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The excess tax benefits realized have been recorded as increases to Parent’s equity for the year ended December 31, 2016 . As required by ASU 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”), the excess tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 have been included in the provision for income taxes and decreased the effective tax rate for the year by 100 and 130 basis points, respectively.
Included in deferred income taxes as of  December 31, 2018  are tax benefits for U.S. and non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards totaling  $141 million  ( $91 million  of which the Company does not expect to realize and have corresponding valuation allowances). Certain of the losses can be carried forward indefinitely and others can be carried forward to various dates from  2019  through 2038.
As of  December 31, 2018 , gross unrecognized tax benefits totaled  $27 million  ( $26 million , net of the impact of  $6 million  of indirect tax benefits offset by  $5 million  associated with potential interest and penalties). As of  December 31, 2017 , gross unrecognized tax benefits totaled  $37 million  ( $35 million , net of the impact of  $9 million  of indirect tax benefits offset by  $7

million  associated with potential interest and penalties). The Company recognized $1 million $3 million and $2 million  in potential interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions during  2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively. To the extent unrecognized tax benefits (including interest and penalties) are recognized with respect to uncertain tax positions, the tax expense and effective tax rate in future periods would be reduced by $26 million based upon the tax positions as of December 31, 2018 . The Company recognized interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within income taxes in the accompanying Combined Statement of Earnings. Unrecognized tax benefits and associated accrued interest and penalties are included in taxes, income and other accrued expenses as detailed in Note 9.

The Company conducts business globally, and Parent files numerous consolidated and separate income tax returns in the U.S. federal, state and foreign jurisdictions. The non-U.S. countries in which the Company has a material presence include Canada, China, Finland, Germany and Switzerland. The Company believes that a change in the statutory tax rate of any individual foreign country would not have a material effect on the Combined Financial Statements given the geographic dispersion of the Company’s taxable income.
Parent and its subsidiaries (including the businesses of the Company) are routinely examined by various domestic and international taxing authorities. The IRS has completed substantially all of the examinations of certain of Parent’s federal income tax returns through 2011 and is currently examining certain of Parent’s federal income tax returns for 2012 through 2015. In addition, Parent has subsidiaries (including the businesses of the Company) in Germany, India, Japan, Sweden and Switzerland and in states and other local jurisdictions that are currently under audit for years ranging from 2007 through 2016.
Management estimates that it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may be reduced by approximately $0.2 million within twelve months as a result of resolution of worldwide tax matters, payments of tax audit settlements and/or statute of limitations expirations.
The Company operates in various non-U.S. tax jurisdictions where “tax holiday” income tax incentives have been granted for a specific period. These tax benefits are not material to the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 12. PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENT AND RESTRUCTURING
During  2018 , the Company recorded pretax productivity improvement and restructuring related charges totaling  $24 million . Substantially all the activities initiated in  2018  were completed by  December 31, 2018 , resulting in $22 million of employee severance and related charges and $2 million  of facility exit and other related charges. The Company expects substantially all cash payments associated with remaining termination benefits will be paid during  2019 .
During  2017 , the Company recorded pretax productivity improvement and restructuring related charges of  $36 million . Substantially all the activities initiated in  2017  were completed by  December 31, 2017  resulting in $27 million of employee severance and related charges and $9 million  of facility exit and other related charges (including $7 million of noncash charges for the impairment of certain technology-related intangible assets).
During  2016 , the Company recorded pretax productivity improvement and restructuring related charges totaling  $34 million . Substantially all of the planned activities related to the  2016  plans were completed by December 31, 2016  resulting in $ 18 million  of employee severance and related charges, $5 million  of facility exit and other related charges and an  $11 million  noncash charge related to an impairment of a trade name within the Equipment & Consumables segment.
The nature of the Company’s productivity improvement and restructuring related activities initiated in 2018 , 2017 and 2016 were broadly consistent throughout the Company’s reportable segments and focused on improvements in operational efficiency through targeted workforce reductions and facility consolidations and closures. These costs were incurred to position the

Company to provide superior products and services to its customers in a cost efficient manner, and taking into consideration broad economic considerations.
In conjunction with the closing of facilities, certain inventory was written off as unusable in future operating locations. This inventory consisted primarily of component parts and raw materials, which were either redundant to inventory at the facilities being merged or were not economically feasible to relocate since the inventory was purchased to operate on equipment and tooling which was not being relocated. In addition, asset impairment charges have been recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of the long-lived assets that will be sold or disposed of to their estimated fair values. Charges for the asset impairment reduce the carrying amount of the long-lived assets to their estimated salvage value in connection with the decision to dispose of such assets.

NOTE 13. LEASES AND COMMITMENTS
The Company’s operating leases extend for varying periods of time up to 20 years and, in some cases, contain renewal options that would extend existing terms beyond 20 years. Total rent expense for all operating leases was $52 million , $46 million and $44 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively.
As discussed in Note 2 , the Company adopted ASC 842 related to lease accounting on January 1, 2019. Future minimum lease payments differ from the future lease liability recognized under ASC 842, as the lease liability recognized under ASC 842 discounts the lease payments while the minimum lease payments presented below are not discounted. Additionally, ASC 842 allows a lessee to elect to combine or separate any non-lease components in an arrangement with the lease components for the calculation of the lease liability while the minimum lease payments exclude any non-lease components. The Company’s future minimum rental payments for all operating leases having initial or remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year are as follows ($ in millions):

The Company generally accrues estimated warranty costs at the time of sale. In general, manufactured products are warranted against defects in material and workmanship when properly used for their intended purpose, installed correctly and appropriately maintained. Warranty periods depend on the nature of the product and range from 90 days up to the life of the product. The amount of the accrued warranty liability is determined based on historical information such as past experience, product failure rates or number of units repaired, estimated cost of material and labor and in certain instances estimated property damage.

NOTE 14. LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is, from time to time, subject to a variety of litigation and other legal and regulatory proceedings incidental to its business (or the business operations of previously owned entities). These matters primarily involve claims for damages arising out of the use of the Company’s products and services and claims relating to intellectual property matters, employment matters, tax matters, commercial disputes, breach of contract claims, competition and sales and trading practices, environmental matters, personal injury, insurance coverage and acquisition or divestiture-related matters, as well as regulatory subpoenas, requests for information, investigations and enforcement. The Company may also become subject to lawsuits as a result of past or future acquisitions or as a result of liabilities retained from, or representations, warranties or indemnities provided in connection with, divested businesses. Some of these lawsuits include claims for punitive, consequential and/or compensatory damages, as well as injunctive relief.
While Parent maintains general, products, property, workers’ compensation, automobile, cargo, aviation, crime, fiduciary and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (and has acquired rights under similar policies in connection with certain acquisitions) up to certain limits that cover certain of these claims, this insurance may be insufficient or unavailable to cover such losses. For most insured risks, Parent purchases outside insurance coverage only for severe losses and must establish and maintain reserves with respect to amounts within the self-insured retention. In addition, while the Company believes it is entitled to indemnification from third-parties for some of these claims, these rights may also be insufficient or unavailable to cover such losses.
The Company records a liability in the Combined Financial Statements for loss contingencies when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss does not meet the known or probable level but is reasonably possible it is disclosed and if the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed. The Company’s reserves consist of specific reserves for individual claims and additional amounts for anticipated developments of these claims as well as for incurred but not yet reported claims. The specific reserves for individual known claims are quantified with the assistance of legal counsel and outside risk professionals where appropriate. In addition, outside risk professionals assist in the determination of reserves for incurred but not yet reported claims through evaluation of the Company’s specific loss history, actual claims reported and industry trends among statistical and other factors. The Company’s accrual for legal matters that are probable and estimable was $83 million and $43 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, and includes certain estimated costs of settlement, damages and defense. Reserve estimates may be adjusted as additional information regarding a claim becomes known. Because most contingencies are resolved over long periods of time, liabilities may change in the future due to new developments (including litigation developments, the discovery of new facts, changes in legislation and outcomes of similar cases), changes in assumptions or changes in the Company’s strategy. While the Company actively pursues financial recoveries from insurance providers and indemnifying parties, it does not recognize any recoveries until realized or until such time as a sustained pattern of collections is established related to historical matters of a similar nature and magnitude. If the Company’s self-insurance and litigation reserves prove inadequate, it would be required to incur an expense equal to the amount of the loss incurred in excess of the reserves. In view of the uncertainties discussed above and below, the Company could incur charges in excess of current accruals and such charges could have a material, adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated earnings, financial position and/or cash flows.
On October 6, 2015, certain claimants initiated arbitration against Nobel Biocare Services AG (“Nobel”) in the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce in Zurich, Switzerland, based on alleged breaches by Nobel of a 2005 patent transfer and consultancy agreement between the parties and Nobel’s alleged underpayment of royalties related thereto. The arbitral tribunal bifurcated proceedings into a liability phase and a damages phase. Following a hearing, in February 2019 the tribunal issued a partial award with respect to the liability claims, finding for claimants in part and for Nobel in part, while reserving a decision on certain key issues until the damages phase of the proceedings. The tribunal has not yet issued a procedural order or schedule for the damages phase. The Company has recognized a loss reserve for the probable and estimable damages and defense costs related to this matter, which are included within the Company’s accrual for legal matters described above. With respect to any reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, the Company cannot provide an estimate or estimated range of such loss because the damages phase of the proceeding remains at an early stage, certain key issues remain to be resolved by the tribunal and there are significant factual issues to be resolved.
In addition, the Company’s operations, products and services are subject to environmental laws and regulations, which impose limitations on the discharge of pollutants into the environment, establish standards for the use, generation, treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous and nonhazardous wastes and impose end-of-life disposal and take-back programs. Some of the Company’s operations involve the handling, manufacturing, use or sale of substances that are or could be classified as hazardous materials within the meaning of applicable laws. The Company must also comply with various health and safety regulations in both the United States and abroad in connection with the Company’s operations. Compliance with these laws

F- 30

Table of Contents --------------

and regulations has not had and, based on current information and the applicable laws and regulations currently in effect, is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position, and the Company does not anticipate material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities. In addition to environmental compliance costs, the Company from time to time incurs costs related to alleged damages associated with past or current waste disposal practices or other hazardous materials handling practices. The Company may also be from time to time party to personal injury or other claims brought by private parties alleging injury due to the presence of, or exposure to, hazardous substances. The Company accrues for losses associated with environmental obligations when probable and reasonably estimable. A receivable for insurance recoveries is recorded when probable.
The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will require it to indemnify to the full extent authorized or permitted by law any person made, or threatened to be made a party to any action or proceeding by reason of his or her service as a director or officer of the Company, or by reason of serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer of any other entity, subject to limited exceptions. The Company’s amended and restated by-laws will provide for similar indemnification rights. While Parent maintains insurance for this type of liability, a significant deductible applies to this coverage and any such liability could exceed the amount of the insurance coverage.
As of  December 31, 2018 , Parent on behalf of the Company, had  $76 million  of guarantees consisting primarily of outstanding standby letters of credit and bank guarantees. These guarantees have been provided in connection with certain arrangements with vendors, customers, insurance providers, financing counterparties and governmental entities to secure the Company’s obligations and/or performance requirements related to specific transactions. The Company believes that if the obligations under these instruments were triggered, they would not have a material effect on its Combined Financial Statements.

NOTE 15. STOCK TRANSACTIONS AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has no stock-based compensation plans; however certain employees of the Company participate in Parent’s stock-based compensation plan, which provides for the grants of stock options, RSUs and PSUs among other types of awards. The expense associated with the Company’s employees who participate in such plan is allocated to the Company in the accompanying Combined Statements of Earnings.
Stock options, RSUs and PSUs have been issued to directors, officers and other employees under Parent’s 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Stock options granted under Parent’s 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan generally vest pro rata over a five-year period and terminate ten years from the grant date, though the specific terms of each grant are determined by the Compensation Committee of Parent’s Board (the “Compensation Committee”). Parent’s executive officers and certain other employees have been awarded options with different vesting criteria. Option exercise prices for options granted by Parent equal the closing price of Parent’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the date of grant.
RSUs issued under Parent’s 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan provide for the issuance of a share of Parent’s common stock at no cost to the holder. The RSUs that have been granted to employees under Parent’s 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan generally provide for time-based vesting over a five-year period, although executive officers and certain other employees have been awarded RSUs with different time-based vesting criteria, and RSUs granted to members of the Company’s senior management have also been subject to performance-based vesting criteria. Prior to vesting, RSUs granted under Parent’s 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan do not have dividend equivalent rights, do not have voting rights and the shares underlying the RSUs are not considered issued and outstanding.
In 2015, Parent introduced into its executive officer equity compensation program performance-based PSUs that vest over approximately a  three -year performance period and are subject to an additional  two -year holding period. The PSUs were issued under Parent’s 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan. PSUs granted under the 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan have dividend equivalent rights (which are subject to the same vesting and holding restrictions as the related shares), but do not have voting rights and the shares underlying the PSUs are not considered issued and outstanding.
The equity compensation awards granted by Parent generally vest only if the employee is employed by Parent (or in the case of directors, the director continues to serve on Parent’s Board) on the vesting date or in other limited circumstances. To cover the exercise of options and vesting of RSUs and PSUs, Parent generally issues new shares from its authorized but unissued share pool, although it may instead issue treasury shares in certain circumstances.
Parent accounts for stock-based compensation by measuring the cost of employee services received in exchange for all equity awards granted, including stock options, RSUs and PSUs, based on the fair value of the award as of the grant date. The Company recognizes the compensation expense for employees participating in Parent’s stock plans over the requisite service period (which is generally the vesting period but may be shorter than the vesting period if the employee becomes retirement eligible before the end of the vesting period). The fair value for RSU awards was calculated using the closing price of Parent’s

F- 31

Table of Contents --------------

common stock on the date of grant, adjusted for the fact that RSUs do not accrue dividends. The fair value of the options granted was calculated using a Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model (“Black-Scholes”).
The following summarizes the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to value options granted during the years ended December 31:
 
2018
 
2017
 
2016
Risk-free interest rate

5.0 – 8.0

 
5.5 – 8.0

The Black-Scholes model incorporates assumptions to value stock-based awards. The risk-free rate of interest for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on a zero-coupon U.S. government instrument whose maturity period equals or approximates the option’s expected term. Expected volatility is based on implied volatility from traded options on Parent’s stock and historical volatility of Parent’s stock. The dividend yield is calculated by dividing Parent’s annual dividend, based on the most recent quarterly dividend rate, by the closing stock price on the grant date. To estimate the option exercise timing used in the valuation model, in addition to considering the vesting period and contractual term of the option, Parent analyzes and considers actual historical exercise experience for previously granted options. Parent stratifies its employee population into multiple groups for option valuation and attribution purposes based upon distinctive patterns of forfeiture rates and option holding periods, as indicated by the ranges set forth in the table above for risk-free interest rate and expected years until exercise.
The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized during a period is also based on the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Parent estimates pre-vesting forfeitures at the time of grant by analyzing historical data and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Ultimately, the total expense recognized over the vesting period will equal the fair value of awards that actually vest.
The following summarizes the components of the Company’s stock-based compensation expense under Parent’s stock plans for the years ended December 31 ($ in millions):

Stock-based compensation has been recognized as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Combined Statements of Earnings. As of December 31, 2018 , $16 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs/PSUs is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately two years. As of December 31, 2018 , $14 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately three years. Future compensation amounts will be adjusted for any changes in estimated forfeitures.

The “expected to vest” options are the net unvested options that remain after applying the forfeiture rate assumption to total unvested options.
The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (the difference between Parent’s closing stock price on the last trading day of 2018 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2018 .

The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 was $19 million , $18 million and $20 million , respectively. Exercise of options during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 resulted in cash receipts of $14 million , $17 million and $19 million , respectively. Upon exercise of the award by the employee, Parent derives a tax deduction measured by the excess of the market value over the grant price at the date of exercise. Parent realized a tax benefit of $3 million , $6 million and $7 million in 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively, related to the exercise of employee stock options.

The Company realized a tax benefit of $2 million in each of the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively, related to the vesting of RSUs and PSUs.
Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-09 in 2017, the difference between the actual tax benefit realized upon exercise and the tax benefit recorded based on the fair value of the stock award at the time of grant (the “excess tax benefits”) was recorded as an increase to net Parent investment and was reflected as a financing cash flow in 2016 . For the year ended December 31, 2016 the Company recorded an increase to additional paid-in-capital and a financing cash flow of $5.6 million for the excess tax benefit. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09, the excess tax benefit of $ 3.3 million and $4.9 million related to the exercise of employee stock options and vesting of RSUs for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, has been recorded as a reduction to the current income tax provision and is reflected as an operating cash inflow in the accompanying Combined Statements of Cash Flows.
In connection with the exercise of certain stock options and the vesting of RSUs previously issued by Parent, a number of shares sufficient to fund statutory minimum tax withholding requirements has been withheld from the total shares issued or released to the award holder (though under the terms of the applicable plan, the shares are considered to have been issued and are not added back to the pool of shares available for grant). During the year ended December 31, 2018 , 41 thousand shares with an aggregate value of $4 million were withheld to satisfy the requirement. During the year ended December 31, 2017 , 37 thousand shares with an aggregate value of $3 million were withheld to satisfy the requirement. The withholding is treated as a reduction in net Parent investment in the accompanying Combined Statements of Changes in Equity.

NOTE 16. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operates and reports its results in two separate business segments, the Specialty Products & Technologies and Equipment & Consumables segments. When determining the reportable segments, the Company aggregated operating segments based on their similar economic and operating characteristics. Operating profit represents total revenues less operating expenses, excluding nonoperating income (expense) and income taxes. Operating profit amounts in the Other segment consist of unallocated corporate costs and other costs not considered part of management’s evaluation of reportable segment operating performance. The identifiable assets by segment are those used in each segment’s operations. Inter-segment amounts are not significant and are eliminated to arrive at combined totals.

NOTE 17. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has historically operated as part of Parent and not as a separate, publicly-traded company. Accordingly, Parent has allocated certain shared costs to the Company that are reflected as expenses in these financial statements. Management considers the allocation methodologies used by Parent to be reasonable and to appropriately reflect the related expenses attributable to the Company for purposes of the carve-out financial statements; however, the expenses reflected in these financial statements may not be indicative of the actual expenses that would have been incurred during the periods presented if the Company had operated as a separate entity. In addition, the expenses reflected in the financial statements may not be indicative of expenses the Company will incur in the future.
Corporate Expenses
Certain corporate overhead and shared expenses incurred by Parent and its subsidiaries have been allocated to the Company and are reflected in the Combined Statements of Earnings. These amounts include, but are not limited to, items such as general management and executive oversight, costs to support Parent information technology infrastructure, facilities, compliance, human resources, and legal functions and financial management and transaction processing including public company reporting, consolidated tax filings and tax planning, Parent benefit plan administration, risk management and consolidated treasury services, certain employee benefits and incentives, and stock based compensation administration. These costs are allocated using methodologies that management believes are reasonable for the item being allocated. Allocation methodologies include the Company’s relative share of revenues, headcount, or functional spend as a percentage of the total.
Insurance Programs Administered by Parent
In addition to the corporate allocations discussed above, the Company was allocated expenses related to certain insurance programs Parent administers on behalf of the Company, including workers compensation, property, cargo, automobile, crime, fiduciary, product, general and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. These policies cover amounts in excess of the self-insured retentions. The insurance costs of these policies are allocated by Parent to the Company and its other businesses using various methodologies related to the respective, underlying exposure base.

For the self-insured component of the policies referenced above, Parent allocated costs to the Company based on the Company’s incurred claims. An estimated liability relating to the Company’s known and incurred but not reported claims has also been allocated to the Company and reflected on the accompanying Combined Balance Sheets.
Medical Insurance Programs Administered by Parent
In addition to the corporate allocations noted above, the Company was allocated expenses related to the medical insurance programs Parent administers on behalf of the Company. These amounts were allocated using actual medical claims incurred during the period for the associated employees attributable to the Company.
Deferred Compensation Program Administered by Parent
Certain of the Company’s management employees participate in Parent’s nonqualified deferred compensation programs that permit participants to defer a portion of their compensation, on a pretax basis, until their termination of employment. Participants may choose among alternative earning rates for the amounts they defer, which are primarily based on investment options within Parent’s 401(k) program (except that the earnings rates for amounts contributed unilaterally by Parent are entirely based on changes in the value of Parent’s common stock). All amounts deferred under this plan are unfunded, unsecured obligations of Parent.
The amounts of related-party expenses allocated to the Company from Parent and its subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , were as follows ($ in millions):

DENTAL SEGMENT OF DANAHER CORPORATION
NOTES TO COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. BUSINESS OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying combined financial statements present the historical financial position, results of operations, changes in Danaher Corporation’s (“Danaher” or “Parent”) equity and cash flows of the Dental segment of Danaher (the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for the preparation of carved-out combined financial statements.

The Company provides products that are used to diagnose, treat and prevent disease and ailments of the teeth, gums and supporting bone, as well as to improve the aesthetics of the human smile. The Company is a leading worldwide provider of a broad range of dental implants, orthodontic appliances, general dental consumables, equipment and services, and is dedicated to driving technological innovations that help dental professionals improve clinical outcomes and enhance productivity.
On July 19, 2018, Parent announced its intention to spin-off its Dental business into a separate, publicly-traded company. In February 2019, Parent announced a modification of its plans, specifically that it now intends to conduct an initial public offering of shares of common stock of the Dental business (the “IPO”) in the second half of 2019, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including obtaining final approval from the Danaher Board of Directors, favorable ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other regulatory approvals. Prior to the closing of the IPO, the Company’s businesses will be transferred to Envista Holdings Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.
Subsequent to the anticipated IPO, Parent currently intends to distribute to its shareholders all or a portion of its remaining equity interest in the Dental business, which may include the spin-off of Dental business shares effected as a dividend to all its shareholders, the split-off of Dental business shares in exchange for Danaher shares or other securities, or any combination thereof in one transaction or in a series of transactions (collectively, the “Distribution”). While Parent currently intends to effect the Distribution, it has no obligation to pursue or consummate any further dispositions of its ownership in the Dental business, including through the Distribution, by any specified date or at all. If pursued, the Distribution may be subject to various conditions, including receipt of any necessary regulatory or other approvals, the existence of satisfactory market conditions, and the receipt of an opinion of counsel to the effect that the separation of the Dental business in connection with the IPO, together with such Distribution, will be tax-free to Parent and its shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The conditions to the Distribution may not be satisfied; Parent may decide not to consummate the Distribution even if the conditions are satisfied; or Parent may decide to waive one or more of these conditions and consummate the Distribution even if all of the conditions are not satisfied. In addition to, or in lieu of the Distribution, subsequent to the IPO Parent may sell additional shares of the Dental business in one or more publicly registered offerings or private placements. Parent cannot assure whether or when any such transaction will be consummated or as to the final terms of any such transaction.
The Company operates in two business segments: Specialty Products & Technologies and Equipment & Consumables .
The Company’s Specialty Products & Technologies segment develops, manufactures and markets dental implant systems, dental prosthetics and associated treatment software and technologies, as well as orthodontic bracket systems, aligners and lab products.
The Company’s Equipment & Consumables segment develops, manufactures and markets dental equipment and supplies used in dental offices, including digital imaging systems, software and other visualization/magnification systems; handpieces and associated consumables; treatment units and other dental practice equipment; endodontic systems and related consumables; restorative materials and instruments, rotary burs, impression materials, bonding agents and cements and infection prevention products.
Sales to the Company’s largest customer were 10% of total sales during both the three -month periods ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 . No other individual customer accounted for more than 10% of combined sales during these periods. Accounts receivable from this customer was 6% and 8% of total receivables as of March 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .
The Company has historically operated as part of Parent and not as a separate, publicly-traded company. The financial statements have been derived from Parent’s historical accounting records and are presented on a carve-out basis. All revenues and costs as well as assets and liabilities directly associated with the business activity of the Company are included as a component of the financial statements. The financial statements also include allocations of certain general, administrative, sales and marketing expenses and cost of sales from Parent’s corporate office and from other Parent businesses to the Company and allocations of related assets, liabilities, and Parent’s investment, as applicable. The allocations have been determined on a reasonable basis; however, the amounts are not necessarily representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the financial statements had the Company been an entity that operated independently of Parent. Related-party allocations are discussed further in Note 11 .

F- 44

Table of Contents --------------

As part of Parent, the Company is dependent upon Parent for all of its working capital and financing requirements as Parent uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. Financial transactions relating to the Company are accounted for through the Parent investment account of the Company. Accordingly, none of Parent’s cash, cash equivalents or debt at the corporate level has been assigned to the Company in these combined financial statements.
Net Parent investment, which includes retained earnings, represents Parent’s interest in the recorded net assets of the Company. All significant transactions between the Company and Parent have been included in the accompanying combined condensed financial statements. Transactions with Parent are reflected in the accompanying Combined Condensed Statements of Changes in Equity as “Net transfers to Parent” and in the accompanying Combined Condensed Balance Sheets within “Net Parent investment.”
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the businesses comprising the Company have been eliminated in the accompanying combined condensed financial statements.
The Combined Condensed Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Combined Condensed Financial Statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the Combined Financial Statements as of and for the year ended  December 31, 2018  and the Notes thereto included within this prospectus.
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , and its results of operations and cash flows for the three -month periods ended  March 29, 2019  and  March 30, 2018 .
Accounting Standards Recently Adopted —In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability for all leases with terms greater than 12 months and also requires disclosures by lessees and lessors about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Subsequent to the issuance of Topic 842, the FASB clarified the guidance through several ASUs; hereinafter the collection of lease guidance is referred to as “ASC 842”.
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective method for all lease arrangements at the beginning of the period of adoption. Results for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2019 are presented under ASC 842, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting under ASC 840, Leases . The standard had a material impact on the Company’s Combined Condensed Balance Sheet but did not have a significant impact on the Company’s combined net earnings and cash flows. The most significant impact was the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, while the accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. For leases that commenced before the effective date of ASC 842, the Company elected the permitted practical expedients to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases; (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company also elected to include leases with a term of 12 months of less in the recognized ROU assets and lease liabilities.
As a result of the cumulative impact of adopting ASC 842, the Company recorded operating lease ROU assets of $182 million and operating lease liabilities of  $191 million as of January 1, 2019, primarily related to real estate and automobile leases, based on the present value of the future lease payments on the date of adoption. Refer to Note 3 for the additional disclosures required by ASC 842.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. For leases where the Company is the lessee, ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses Parent’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The ROU asset also consists of any prepaid lease payments, lease incentives received, costs which will be incurred in exiting a lease and the amount of any asset or liability recognized on business combinations relating to favorable or unfavorable lease terms. The lease terms used to calculate the ROU asset and related lease liability include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expense. The Company has lease agreements which require payments for lease and non-lease components and has elected to account for these as a single lease component.

F- 45

Table of Contents --------------

Except for the above accounting policy for leases that was updated as a result of adopting ASC 842, there have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies described in the annual audited Combined Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in this prospectus.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Disclosure Framework Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans , which amends ASC 715 to add, remove, and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension plans. The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Management has not yet completed its assessment of the impact of the new standard on the Company’s Combined Financial Statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), which modifies the disclosures on fair value measurements by removing the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the policy for timing of such transfers. The ASU expands the disclosure requirements for Level 3 fair value measurements, primarily focused on changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income (loss). The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Management has not yet completed its assessment of the impact of the new standard on the Company’s Combined Financial Statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,  Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. In November 2018, April 2019, and May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses , Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, and ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief which provided additional implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU. Management has not yet completed its assessment of the impact of the new standard on the Company’s Combined Financial Statements. Currently, the Company believes that the most notable impact of this ASU will relate to its processes around the assessment of the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts on trade accounts receivable and the recognition of credit losses.

NOTE 5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Accounting standards define fair value based on an exit price model, establish a framework for measuring fair value where the Company’s assets and liabilities are required to be carried at fair value and provide for certain disclosures related to the valuation methods used within a valuation hierarchy as established within the accounting standards. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, or other observable characteristics for the asset or liability, including interest rates, yield curves and credit risks, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data through correlation. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety .
A summary of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows ($ in millions):

Certain management employees of the Company participate in Parent’s nonqualified deferred compensation programs that permit such employees to defer a portion of their compensation, on a pretax basis. All amounts deferred under this plan are unfunded, unsecured obligations of Parent and are presented as a component of the Company’s compensation and benefits accrual included in accrued expenses in the accompanying Combined Condensed Balance Sheets. Participants may choose among alternative earnings rates for the amounts they defer, which are primarily based on investment options within Parent’s 401(k) program. Changes in the deferred compensation liability under these programs are recognized based on changes in the fair value of the participants’ accounts, which are based on the applicable earnings rates on investment options within Parent’s 401(k) program. Earnings rates for amounts contributed unilaterally by Parent are entirely based on changes in the value of Parent’s common stock and the value of the liability is based solely on the market value of Parent’s common stock.

NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES

Effective tax rate
15.8
%
 
25.0
%
The Company’s effective tax rate for  2019  differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% due principally to the impact of net discrete tax benefits related primarily to the excess tax benefits associated with the exercise of employee stock options and vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), as well as the release of reserves upon the expiration of statutes of limitation, partially offset by changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions. These discrete tax benefits decreased the reported rate by 6.6% . These benefits were partially offset from the impact of earnings outside the United States which generally are taxed at rates higher than the U.S. federal rate.
The Company’s effective tax rate for  2018  was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% due principally to the impact of the Company’s earnings outside the United States which overall are taxed at rates higher than the U.S. federal rate. The effective tax rate for the three -month period ended March 30, 2018 also includes increases in net reserves from audit settlements, partially offset by excess tax benefits associated with the exercise of employee stock options and vesting of RSUs, as well as the release of reserves upon the expiration of statutes of limitation. The net tax expense from these discrete items increased the reported rate by 2.0%.

NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
For a description of the Company’s litigation and contingencies, refer to Note 14 of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 included within this prospectus. The Company reviews the adequacy of its legal reserves on a quarterly basis and establishes reserves for loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. The Company’s accrual for legal matters that were probable and estimable was $84 million and $83 million as of March 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively, and includes certain estimated costs of settlement, damages and defense.
The Company generally accrues estimated warranty costs at the time of sale. In general, manufactured products are warranted against defects in material and workmanship when properly used for their intended purpose, installed correctly and appropriately maintained. Warranty periods depend on the nature of the product and range from 90 days up to the life of the product. The amount of the accrued warranty liability is determined based on historical information such as past experience, product failure rates or number of units repaired, estimated cost of material and labor and in certain instances estimated property damage. The accrued warranty liability is reviewed on a quarterly basis and may be adjusted as additional information regarding expected warranty costs becomes known.

NOTE 11. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has historically operated as part of Parent and not as a separate, publicly-traded company. Accordingly, Parent has allocated certain shared costs to the Company that are reflected as expenses in these financial statements. Management considers the allocation methodologies used by Parent to be reasonable and to appropriately reflect the related expenses attributable to the Company for purposes of the carve-out financial statements; however, the expenses reflected in these financial statements may not be indicative of the actual expenses that would have been incurred during the periods presented if the Company had operated as a separate entity. In addition, the expenses reflected in the financial statements may not be indicative of expenses the Company will incur in the future.
Corporate Expenses
Certain corporate overhead and shared expenses incurred by Parent and its subsidiaries have been allocated to the Company and are reflected in the Combined Condensed Statements of Earnings. These amounts include, but are not limited to, items such as general management and executive oversight, costs to support Parent information technology infrastructure, facilities, compliance, human resources, and legal functions and financial management and transaction processing including public company reporting, consolidated tax filings and tax planning, Parent benefit plan administration, risk management and consolidated treasury services, certain employee benefits and incentives, and stock based compensation administration. These costs are allocated using methodologies that management believes are reasonable for the item being allocated. Allocation methodologies include the Company’s relative share of revenues, headcount, or functional spend as a percentage of the total.
Insurance Programs Administered by Parent
In addition to the corporate allocations discussed above, the Company was allocated expenses related to certain insurance programs Parent administers on behalf of the Company, including workers compensation, property, cargo, automobile, crime, fiduciary, product, general and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. These policies cover amounts in excess of the self-

F- 54

Table of Contents --------------

insured retentions. The insurance costs of these policies are allocated by Parent to the Company and its other businesses using various methodologies related to the respective, underlying exposure base.
For the self-insured component of the policies referenced above, Parent allocated costs to the Company based on the Company’s incurred claims. An estimated liability relating to the Company’s known and incurred but not reported claims has also been allocated to the Company and reflected on the accompanying Combined Condensed Balance Sheets.
Medical Insurance Programs Administered by Parent
In addition to the corporate allocations noted above, the Company was allocated expenses related to the medical insurance programs Parent administers on behalf of the Company. These amounts were allocated using actual medical claims incurred during the period for the associated employees attributable to the Company.
Deferred Compensation Program Administered by Parent
Certain of the Company’s management employees participate in Parent’s nonqualified deferred compensation programs that permit participants to defer a portion of their compensation, on a pretax basis, until their termination of employment. Participants may choose among alternative earning rates for the amounts they defer, which are primarily based on investment options within Parent’s 401(k) program (except that the earnings rates for amounts contributed unilaterally by Parent are entirely based on changes in the value of Parent’s common stock). All amounts deferred under this plan are unfunded, unsecured obligations of Parent.
The amounts of related party expenses allocated to the Company from Parent and its subsidiaries for the three -month periods ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 , were as follows ($ in millions):

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Envista Holdings Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Envista Holdings Corporation (Envista), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Danaher Corporation, as of December 31, 2018 and the related note. In our opinion, the balance sheet and related note presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Envista at December 31, 2018, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

This balance sheet is the responsibility of Envista’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Envista’s balance sheet based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to Envista in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the balance sheet and related note are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Envista is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Envista’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the balance sheet and related note, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures relating to the balance sheet. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the balance sheet and related note. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ Ernst & Young LLP

We have served as Envista’s auditor since 2018.

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will contain such a provision.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation - a “derivative action”), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with defense or settlement of such action, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will contain such a provision.
We have in effect a directors and officers liability insurance policy indemnifying our directors and officers for certain liabilities incurred by them, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and the Exchange Act. We pay the entire premium of this policy.
We intend to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers that provide the maximum indemnity allowed to directors and officers by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and which allow for certain additional procedural protections.
These indemnification provisions and the indemnification agreements may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our officers and directors for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
Since three years before the date of the initial filing of this registration statement, the registrant has sold the following securities without registration under the Securities Act:
On August 29, 2018, the Company issued 100 shares of its common stock to Danaher Corporation pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Company did not register the issuance of the issued shares under the Securities Act because the issuance did not constitute a public offering.

Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules
(a)
Exhibits. See the Exhibit Index immediately preceding the signature pages hereto, which is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.
(b)
Financial Statement Schedules. See Schedule II - Valuation and Qualifying Accounts to our audited Combined Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions referenced in Item 14 of this registration statement, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
a.
For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
b.
For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(e) No Preemptive or Subscription Rights . No holder of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to preemptive or subscription rights.
Section 4.03     Preferred Stock .

(f) the amounts payable on, and the preferences, if any, of shares of the series in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation;
(g) whether the shares of the series shall be convertible into or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or series, or any other security, of the Corporation or any other corporation, and, if so, the specification of such other class or series or such other security, the conversion or exchange price or prices or rate or rates, any adjustments thereof, the date or dates at which such shares shall be convertible or exchangeable and all other terms and conditions upon which such conversion or exchange may be made;
(h) restrictions on the issuance of shares of the same series or any other class or series;
(i) the voting rights, if any, of the holders of shares of the series generally or upon specified events; and
(j) any other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such shares, all as may be determined from time to time by the Board and stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such Preferred Stock.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the resolutions providing for issuance of any series of Preferred Stock may provide that such series shall be superior or rank equally or be junior to any other series of Preferred Stock to the extent permitted by law.
ARTICLE V
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Section 5.01     Election of Directors . Election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the Corporation shall so require.
Section 5.02     Annual Meeting . The annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held at such date, time and place, if any, as shall be determined solely by the resolution of the Board in its sole and absolute discretion.
Section 5.03     Number of Directors . The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by, or under the direction of, the Board. Subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock, if any, the Board shall consist of not less than three (3) nor greater than fifteen (15) directors, the exact number of which shall be fixed from time to time exclusively pursuant to a resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board, and subject to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock, if any, the exact number may be increased or decreased by such a resolution (but not to less than three (3) nor greater than fifteen (15)).

3


Section 5.04     Classes of Directors . Other than those directors, if any, elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, the Board shall be and is divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, designated as: Class I, Class II and Class III. In case of any increase or decrease, from time to time, in the number of directors, the number of directors in each class shall be apportioned as nearly equal as possible. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
Section 5.05     Terms of Office . Except for the terms of such additional directors, if any, as elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, each director shall serve for a term ending on the date of the third annual meeting of stockholders following the annual meeting at which the director was elected. The term of the initial Class I directors shall terminate at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2020; the term of the initial Class II directors shall terminate on the date of the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2021; and the term of the initial Class III directors shall terminate on the date of the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2022 or, in each case, upon such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders beginning with the first annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2020, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election and until his or her respective successor has been duly elected and qualified. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any additional director of any class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in such class or from the removal from office, death, disability, resignation or disqualification of a director or other cause shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class, but in no case will a decrease in the number of directors have the effect of removing or shortening the term of any incumbent director.
Section 5.06     Vacancies . Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, vacancies on the Board by any reason, including by death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office, or otherwise, and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors shall be solely filled by a majority of the directors then in office, in their sole discretion, even though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, in his or her sole discretion, and shall not be filled by the stockholders. A director elected to fill a vacancy or a newly created directorship shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen, subject to the election and qualification of a successor and to such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.
Section 5.07     Authority . In addition to the powers and authority hereinbefore or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the DGCL, this Certificate of Incorporation, and any Bylaws of the Corporation adopted by the stockholders; provided , however , that no Bylaws hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such Bylaws had not been adopted.
Section 5.08     Advance Notice . Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors shall be given in the manner and to the extent provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation.
ARTICLE VI
STOCKHOLDERS
Section 6.01     Cumulative Voting . No holder of Common Stock of the Corporation shall be entitled to exercise any right of cumulative voting.
Section 6.02     Stockholder Action . Subject to the terms of any series of Preferred Stock, until the first date on which Danaher ceases to Beneficially Own shares of capital stock representing, in the

4


aggregate, a majority of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of all classes of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in elections of directors, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding capital stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. From and after the first date on which Danaher ceases to Beneficially Own shares of capital stock representing, in the aggregate, a majority of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of all classes of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in elections of directors, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders. As used in this Certificate of Incorporation, the term “ Beneficially Own ” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.
Section 6.03     Special Meetings . Unless otherwise required by law or the terms of any resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board providing for the issuance of a class or series of the Preferred Stock, special meetings of stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called by the Secretary upon a written request delivered to the Secretary by (i) the Board as set forth in the Corporation’s Bylaws, (ii) the Chairman of the Board or (iii) the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation. The ability of the stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders is hereby specifically denied. At a special meeting of stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall be specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto).
ARTICLE VII
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND TRANSACTIONS
Section 7.01     General . In recognition and anticipation that (i) the Corporation will not be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Danaher and that Danaher will be a controlling stockholder of the Corporation, (ii) directors, officers and/or employees of Danaher may serve as directors, officers and/or employees of the Corporation, (iii) Danaher may engage in the same, similar or related lines of business as those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage, (iv) Danaher may have an interest in the same areas of corporate opportunity as the Corporation and Affiliated Companies, and (v) as a consequence of the foregoing, it is in the best interests of the Corporation that the respective rights and obligations of the Corporation and of Danaher, and the duties of any directors, officers and/or employees of the Corporation who are also directors, officers and/or employees of Danaher, be determined and delineated in respect of any transactions between, or opportunities that may be suitable for both, the Corporation and Affiliated Companies, on the one hand, and Danaher, on the other hand, the sections of this Article VII shall to the fullest extent permitted by law regulate and define the conduct of certain of the business and affairs of the Corporation in relation to Danaher and the conduct of certain affairs of the Corporation as they may involve Danaher and its directors, officers and/or employees, and the power, rights, duties and liabilities of the Corporation and its director, officers, employees and stockholders in connection therewith.
For purposes of this Article VII , “corporate opportunities” shall include, but not be limited to, business opportunities which the Corporation or Affiliated Companies are financially able to undertake, which are, from their nature, in the line of the Corporation’s or Affiliated Companies’ business, are of practical advantage to it and are ones in which the Corporation or Affiliated Companies would have an interest or a reasonable expectancy, and in which, by embracing the opportunities or allowing such opportunities to be embraced by Danaher, the self-interest of Danaher or its directors, officers and/or employees will be brought into conflict with that of the Corporation or Affiliated Companies.

5


Nothing in this Article VII creates or is intended to create any fiduciary duty on the part of Danaher, the Corporation, any Affiliated Company, or any stockholder, director, officer or employee of any of them that does not otherwise exist under Delaware law and nothing in this Article VII expands any such duty of any such person that may now or hereafter exist under Delaware law.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, any person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, or any interest therein, shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this Article VII .
Section 7.02     Certain Agreements and Transactions Permitted . The Corporation may from time to time enter into and perform, and cause or permit any Affiliated Company to enter into and perform, one or more agreements (or modifications or supplements to pre-existing agreements) with Danaher pursuant to which the Corporation or an Affiliated Company, on the one hand, and Danaher, on the other hand, agree to engage in transactions of any kind or nature with each other and/or agree to compete, or to refrain from competing or to limit or restrict their competition, with each other, including to allocate, and to cause their respective directors, officers and/or employees (including any who are directors, officers and/or employees of both) to allocate opportunities between them or to refer opportunities to each other. Subject to Section 7.04 , no such agreement, or the performance thereof by the Corporation or any Affiliated Company, or Danaher, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be considered contrary to any fiduciary duty that any director, officer or employee of the Corporation or any Affiliated Company who is also a director, officer or employee of Danaher may owe or be alleged to owe to the Corporation or any such Affiliated Company, or to any stockholder thereof, or any legal duty or obligation Danaher may be alleged to owe on any basis, notwithstanding the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation stipulating to the contrary. Subject to Section 7.04 , to the fullest extent permitted by law, no director, officer or employee of the Corporation who is also a director, officer or employee of Danaher shall have or be under any fiduciary duty to the Corporation or any Affiliated Company to refer any corporate opportunity to the Corporation or any Affiliated Company or to refrain from acting on behalf of the Corporation or any Affiliated Company or of Danaher in respect of any such agreement or transaction or performing any such agreement in accordance with its terms.
Section 7.03     Authorized Business Activities . Without limiting the other provisions of this Article VII , Danaher shall have no duty to communicate information regarding a corporate opportunity to the Corporation or to refrain from (i) engaging in the same or similar activities or lines of business as the Corporation, (ii) doing business with any client, customer or vendor of the Corporation or (iii) employing or otherwise engaging any director, officer or employee of the Corporation.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, except as provided in Section 7.04 , no officer, director or employee of the Corporation who is also a director, officer or employee of Danaher shall be deemed to have breached his or her fiduciary duties, if any, to the Corporation solely by reason of Danaher’s engaging in any such activity.
Section 7.04     Corporate Opportunities . Except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Corporation and Danaher, for so long as Danaher Beneficially Owns shares of capital stock representing, in the aggregate, at least 10% of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of all classes of capital stock of the Corporation with respect to the election of directors or otherwise has one or more directors, officers or employees serving as a director, officer or employee of the Corporation, in the event that a director, officer or employee of the Corporation who is also a director, officer or employee of Danaher acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for both the Corporation and Danaher, such director, officer or employee shall to the fullest extent permitted by law have fully satisfied and fulfilled his or her fiduciary duty, if any, with respect to such corporate opportunity, and the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law renounces any interest or expectancy in such business opportunity and waives any claim that such business opportunity constituted a corporate opportunity that should have been presented to the Corporation or any Affiliated Company, if such director, officer or employee acts in a manner consistent with the following policy: such a corporate opportunity offered to any person who is a director or an officer or employee of the Corporation and who is also a director, officer or employee of Danaher shall belong to the Corporation only if such opportunity

6


is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation and otherwise shall belong to Danaher.
The foregoing policy, and the action of any director, officer or employee of Danaher, the Corporation or any Affiliated Company taken in accordance with, or in reliance upon, the foregoing policy or in entering into or performing any agreement, transaction or arrangement is deemed and presumed to be fair to the Corporation.
Except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Corporation and Danaher, if a director, officer or employee of the Corporation, who also serves as a director, officer or employee of Danaher, acquires knowledge of a potential corporate opportunity for both the Corporation and Danaher in any manner not addressed by this Article VII , such director, officer or employee shall have no duty to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to the Corporation and shall to the fullest extent permitted by law not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, officer or employee of the Corporation by reason of the fact that Danaher pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person or does not present such corporate opportunity to the Corporation, and the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law renounces any interest or expectancy in such business opportunity and waives any claim that such business opportunity constituted a corporate opportunity that should be presented to the Corporation.
Section 7.05     Delineation of Indirect Interests . To the fullest extent permitted by law, no director, officer or employee of the Corporation or any Affiliated Company shall be deemed to have an indirect interest in any matter, transaction or corporate opportunity that may be received or exploited by, or allocated to, Danaher, merely by virtue of being a director, officer or employee of Danaher, unless such director, officer or employee’s role with Danaher involves direct responsibility for such matter, in his or her role with Danaher, such director, officer or employee exercises supervision over such matter, or the compensation of such director, officer or employee is materially affected by such matter. Such director, officer or employee’s compensation shall not be deemed to be materially affected by such matter if it is only affected by virtue of its effect on the value of Danaher capital stock generally or on Danaher’s results or performance on an enterprise-wide basis.
Section 7.06     Special Approval Procedures . If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Article VII , it is deemed desirable by Danaher, the Corporation or an Affiliated Company or any other party that the Corporation take action with specific regard to a particular transaction, corporate opportunity or a type or series of transactions or corporate opportunities to ensure, out of an abundance of caution, that such transaction or transactions are not voidable, or that such an opportunity or opportunities are effectively disclaimed, the Corporation may employ any of the following procedures:
(a) the material facts of the transaction and the director’s, officer’s or employee’s interest are disclosed or known to the Board or a duly appointed committee of the Board and the Board or such committee authorizes, approves, or ratifies the transaction by the affirmative vote or consent of a majority of the directors (or committee members) who have no direct or indirect interest in the transaction and, in any event, of at least two directors (or committee members); or
(b) the material facts of the transaction and the director’s interest are disclosed or known to the stockholders entitled to vote and they authorize, approve or ratify such transaction.
The interested director or directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at such meeting. The presence of, or a vote cast by, a director with a direct or indirect interest in the transaction does not affect the validity of any actions taken under clause (a) above.
One or more matters, transactions or corporate opportunities approved pursuant to any of the foregoing procedures are not void or voidable and shall not give rise to any equitable relief or damages or other sanctions against any director, officer, employee or stockholder (including Danaher) of the Corporation on the ground that the matter, transaction or corporate opportunity should have first been offered to the Corporation. Nothing in this Article VII requires any matter to be considered by the Board

7


or the stockholders of the Corporation and, in all cases, directors, officers and employees of the Corporation are authorized to refrain from bringing a matter otherwise addressed in this Article VII before the Board or the stockholders for consideration unless such matter is required to be considered by the Board or stockholders, as applicable, under Delaware law. This Article VII shall not be construed to invalidate any contract or other transaction which would otherwise be valid under the common, equitable, or statutory law applicable thereto.
ARTICLE VIII
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION
Section 8.01     Limitation on Liability . To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as it now exists and as it may hereafter be amended, no director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability of a director (a) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (d) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit; provided that if the DGCL shall be amended or modified to provide for exculpation for any director in any circumstances where exculpation is prohibited pursuant to any of the preceding clauses (a) through (d) , then such directors shall be entitled to exculpation to the maximum extent permitted by such amendment or modification. No amendment to, modification of or repeal of this Section 8.01 shall apply to or have any adverse effect on any right or protection of, or any limitation of the liability of, a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment, modification or repeal.
Section 8.02     Indemnification . The Corporation shall indemnify to the full extent authorized or permitted by law any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to any action or proceeding (whether civil or criminal or otherwise) by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or by reason of the fact that such director or officer, at the request of the Corporation, is or was serving any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, in any capacity. Nothing contained herein shall affect any rights to indemnification to which employees other than directors and officers may be entitled by law.
The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation, or is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, manager, officer, employee, trustee or agent of, or in a fiduciary capacity with respect to, another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Section 8.02 .
The right of indemnification provided in this Section 8.02 shall not be exclusive, and shall be in addition to any other right to which any person may otherwise be entitled by law, statue, under the Bylaws of the Corporation, or under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. Any amendment, repeal or modification of this Section 8.02 shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.
ARTICLE IX
FORUM SELECTION
Section 9.01     Forum Selection . Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive

8


forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim for breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine; provided , however , that, in the event that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction over any such action or proceeding, the sole and exclusive forum for such action or proceeding shall be another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, in each such case, unless the Court of Chancery (or such other state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, as applicable) has dismissed a prior action by the same plaintiff asserting the same claims because such court lacked personal jurisdiction over an indispensable party named as a defendant therein. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Section 9.01 . Failure to enforce the foregoing provisions would cause the Corporation irreparable harm and the Corporation shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, to enforce the forgoing provisions.
ARTICLE X
AMENDMENT
Section 10.01     Certificate of Incorporation . The Corporation shall have the right, from time to time, to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation in any manner now or hereafter provided by this Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws of the Corporation or the DGCL, and all rights, preferences, privileges and powers of any kind conferred upon any director or stockholder of the Corporation by this Certificate of Incorporation or any amendment thereof are conferred subject to such right. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary (and in addition to any vote required by law), from and after such time as Danaher ceases to Beneficially Own shares of capital stock representing, in the aggregate, a majority of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of all classes of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of all classes of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting as a single class, shall be required to amend, alter, change, or repeal or to adopt any provision inconsistent with Article V , Article VI , Article VII , Article VIII and this Article X .
Section 10.02     Bylaws . In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by law, the Board is expressly authorized and empowered, without the assent or vote of the stockholders, to adopt, amend and repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation. Any adoption, amendment or repeal of the Bylaws of the Corporation by the Board shall require the approval by the majority of the entire Board. The stockholders shall also have power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation; provided , however , that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Certificate of Incorporation, from and after such time as Danaher ceases to Beneficially Own shares of capital stock representing, in the aggregate, a majority of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of all classes of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of all classes of capital stock entitled to vote thereon, voting as a single class, shall be required to amend, repeal or adopt any provision of the Bylaws of the Corporation.

Section 1.02     Other Offices . The Corporation may also have offices at such other places within or without the State of Delaware as the board of directors of the Corporation (the “ Board ”) may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may from time to time require.
ARTICLE II
MEETINGS OF THE STOCKHOLDERS
Section 2.01     Place of Meetings . All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such place, if any, either within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be designated from time to time by resolution of the Board and stated in the notice of meeting.
Section 2.02     Annual Meeting . The annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held at such date, time and place, if any, as shall be determined by the Board and stated in the notice of the meeting. The Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any annual meeting previously scheduled by the Board.
Section 2.03     Special Meetings . Unless otherwise required by law or by the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation, as amended and restated from time to time (the “ Certificate of Incorporation ”), and subject to the rights of the holders of preferred stock, a special meeting of stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called by the Secretary upon a written request delivered to the Secretary by (a) the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the entire Board, (b) the Chairman of the Board or (c) the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation. The ability of the stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders is hereby specifically denied. At a special meeting of stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall be specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto). The Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any special meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board Business transacted at all special meetings shall be limited to the matters specifically stated in the Corporation’s notice of special meeting (or any supplement thereto). Nothing herein shall prohibit the Board from submitting additional matters to stockholders at any such special meeting. Special meetings shall be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board shall designate.
Section 2.04     Record Date . In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of the stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the



close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided , however , that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
Section 2.05     Notice of Meetings . Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a notice of the place, if any, date, hour, and means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting shall be given by the Corporation not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the meeting (unless otherwise required by law) to every stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting. Notices of special meetings shall also specify the purpose or purposes for which the meeting has been called. Except as otherwise provided herein or permitted by applicable law, notice to stockholders shall be in writing and delivered personally or mailed (including by electronic transmission in accordance with applicable law) to the stockholders at their address appearing on the books of the Corporation. Notice by mail is deemed given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, and notice by electronic transmission shall be deemed given pursuant Section 232(b) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “ DGCL ”). Any stockholder may waive notice of any meeting, either before or after the meeting. The attendance of any stockholder at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the stockholder attends for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Any stockholder so waiving notice of the meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of the meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given.
Section 2.06     List of Stockholders . The Secretary shall prepare, or have prepared, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of the stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares of each class of capital stock of the Corporation registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting at the principal place of business of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, the list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as provided by applicable law, the stock ledger of the Corporation shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger and the list of stockholders or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.
Section 2.07     Quorum . Unless otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, at each meeting of the stockholders, a majority in voting power of the shares of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum. A quorum, once established, shall not be broken by the subsequent withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the chair of the meeting shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, in the manner provided in Section 2.08 , until a quorum shall be present or represented.
Section 2.08     Adjournments . Any meeting of the stockholders, annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, if any, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof and the means of remote communication, if any, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record

2


date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.05 shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
Section 2.09     Conduct of Meetings . The Board may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of the stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. At every meeting of the stockholders, the Chair of the Board, or in his or her absence or inability to act, the Chief Executive Officer, or, in his or her absence or inability to act, the person whom the Board shall appoint, shall act as chair of, and preside at, the meeting. The Secretary or, in his or her absence or inability to act, the person whom the chair of the meeting shall appoint secretary of the meeting, shall act as secretary of the meeting and keep the minutes thereof. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board, the chair of any meeting of the stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chair, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the chair of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (a) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (b) the determination of when the polls shall open and close for any given matter to be voted on at the meeting; (c) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (d) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chair of the meeting shall determine; (e) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (f) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. The chair shall have the power to adjourn any meeting of the stockholders from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.
Section 2.10     Voting; Proxy . Unless otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any question brought before any meeting of the stockholders, other than the election of directors, shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total number of votes of the Corporation’s capital stock represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on such question, voting as a single class. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, and subject to Section 2.04 , each stockholder represented at a meeting of the stockholders shall be entitled to cast one (1) vote for each share of the capital stock entitled to vote thereat held by such stockholder. Such votes may be cast in person or by proxy as provided in this Section 2.10 . The Board, in its discretion, or the officer of the Corporation presiding at a meeting of the stockholders, in such officer’s discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot.
Except as provided in Section 3.03 , and subject to any rights of the holders of preferred stock to elect any directors voting separately as a class or series, at each annual meeting of stockholders, the directors to be elected at the meeting shall be chosen by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the election at the meeting, provided that a quorum is present. For purposes of this Section 2.10 , a “plurality of the votes cast” shall mean that the individuals with the highest number of votes are elected as directors up to the maximum number of directors to be elected.
Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of the stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy filed with the Secretary before or at the time of the meeting, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless such proxy provides for a longer period.
Section 2.11     Advance Notice of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals .
(a) Timely Notice . At a meeting of the stockholders, only such nominations of persons for the election of directors and such other business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting.

To be timely, a Proposing Stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation: (x) not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90 th ) day, nor earlier than the close of business on the one hundred and twentieth (120 th ) day in advance of the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting if such meeting is to be held on a day that is within thirty (30) days before or after the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting; and (y) with respect to any other annual meeting of stockholders, not later than the close of business on the tenth (10 th ) day following the date of Public Disclosure of the date of such meeting. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting, or the Public Disclosure thereof, commence a new notice time period (or extend any notice time period). For purposes of timely notice at the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, a Proposing Stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10 th ) day following the date of Public Disclosure of the date of such meeting.
(b) Stockholder Nominations . For the nomination of any person or persons for election to the Board whether at an annual meeting or a properly called special meeting of stockholders, a Proposing Stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of each nominee proposed in such notice, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of each such nominee, (iii) (A) the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned of record and beneficially by each such nominee and any affiliates or associates of such nominee (if any) and (B) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding of the type described in clause (vi)(C) or (vi)(D) of this section, but as it relates to each such nominee rather than the Proposing Stockholder, (iv) (A) if any such nominee is a party to any compensatory, payment or other financial agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation, or has received any compensation or other payment from any person or entity other than the Corporation, in each case in connection with candidacy or service as a director of the Corporation, a detailed description of such agreement, arrangement or understanding and its terms or of any such compensation received and (B) such other information concerning each such nominee as would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of such nominee as a director in an election contest (even if an election contest is not involved) or that is otherwise required to be disclosed, under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (v) the consent of the nominee to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected and a representation by the nominee to the effect that, if elected, the nominee will agree to and abide by all policies of the Board and, to the extent applicable to Directors, all policies of the Corporation, in each case, as may be in place at any time and from time to time, and (vi) as to the Proposing Stockholder: (A) the name and address of the Proposing Stockholder as they appear on the Corporation’s books and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is being made, (B) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are owned by the Proposing Stockholder (beneficially and of record) and owned by the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is being made, as of the date of the Proposing Stockholder’s notice, (C) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to such nomination between or among the Proposing Stockholder and any of its affiliates or associates, and any others (including their names) acting in concert with any of the foregoing, (D) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any derivative or short positions,

4


profit interests, options, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into as of the date of the Proposing Stockholder’s notice by, or on behalf of, the Proposing Stockholder or any of its affiliates or associates, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of the Proposing Stockholder or any of its affiliates or associates with respect to shares of stock of the Corporation, (E) a representation that the Proposing Stockholder is a holder of record of shares of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice, (F) a representation whether the Proposing Stockholder intends to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve the election of the nominee and/or otherwise to solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such election and (G) and, with respect to (B), (C) and (D) above, a representation that the Proposing Stockholder will promptly notify the Corporation in writing of the same as of the record date for the meeting promptly following the later of the record date or the date notice of the record date is first publicly disclosed.

Subject to Section 7.03 , the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 7.03     Authorization of Indemnification . Any indemnification under this Article VII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 , as the case may be. Such determination shall be made (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders. To the extent, however, that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case. Any person seeking indemnification from the Corporation under this Article VII must notify the Corporation in writing as soon as practicable of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving such person for which indemnity will or could be sought.
Section 7.04     Good Faith Defined . For purposes of any determination under Section 7.03 , to the extent permitted by law, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, if his or her action is based on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to him or her by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Section 7.04 shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer. The provisions of this Section 7.04 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 , as the case may be.
Section 7.05     Indemnification by a Court . Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 7.03 , and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any director or officer may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 . The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standards of conduct set

14


forth in Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 , as the case may be. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.05 shall be given to the Corporation promptly upon the filing of such application.
Section 7.06     Expenses Payable in Advance . Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VII (which undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the financial ability of the person to make such repayment); provided , however , that, with respect to persons who are not directors, no advancement of expenses shall be made under this Article VII if the Corporation shall determine that (i) such person did not act in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, or (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A director or officer seeking advancement of expenses shall submit to the Corporation a written request.
Section 7.07     Non-exclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses . The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article VII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article VII shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or otherwise.
Section 7.08     Insurance . The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of this Article VII .
Section 7.09     Certain Definitions for Purposes of Article VII . Terms used in this Article VII and defined in Section 145(h) or Section 145(i) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in such Section 145(h) or Section 145(i).
Section 7.10     Limitations . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VII , the Corporation shall not be required to indemnify any person pursuant to this Article VII in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by that person unless (1) the initiation thereof was approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or (2) the initiation thereof was in connection with successfully establishing that person’s right to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article VII . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VII , the Corporation shall not indemnify a person to the extent such person has been reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, and in the event the Corporation makes any indemnification payments to a person and such person is subsequently reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, such person shall promptly refund indemnification payments to the Corporation to the extent of such insurance reimbursement.
Section 7.11     Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses . The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VII shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. A right to indemnification and to advancement of expenses arising under

15


this Article VII shall not be eliminated or impaired by an amendment to such provision after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought.
Section 7.12     Savings Clause . If this Article VII or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director or officer to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article VII that shall not have been invalidated.

The provisions of this Section 2.6(d) are not intended to, and shall not, be deemed to constitute an authorization by any Party to permit the other to accept service of process on its behalf and no Party is or shall be deemed to be the agent of any other Party for service of process purposes.
(e) With respect to Assets and Liabilities described in Section 2.6(a) , each of Danaher and Envista shall, and shall cause the members of its respective Group to, (i) treat for all Tax purposes (A) the deferred Assets as assets having been Transferred to and owned by the Party entitled to such Assets not later than the Effective Time and (B) the deferred Liabilities as liabilities having been Assumed and owned by the Person intended to be subject to such Liabilities not later than the Effective Time and (ii) neither report nor take any Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment (unless required by a change in applicable Law or good faith resolution of a Tax Contest).

Section 5.4     Procedures for Indemnification .
(a)     Direct Claims . Other than with respect to Third Party Claims, which shall be governed by Section 5.4(b) , each Danaher Indemnitee and Envista Indemnitee (each, an “ Indemnitee ”) shall notify in writing, with respect to any matter that such Indemnitee has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the Party which is or may be required pursuant to this Article V or pursuant to any Ancillary Agreement to make such indemnification (the “ Indemnifying Party ”), within forty-five (45) days of such determination, stating in such written notice the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss claimed, if known, and, to the extent practicable, method of computation thereof, and referring to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed by such Indemnitee or arises; provided , however , that the failure to provide such written notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party will have a period of forty-five (45) days after receipt of a notice under this Section 5.4(a) within which to respond thereto. If the Indemnifying Party fails to respond within such period, the Liability specified in such notice from the Indemnitee shall be conclusively determined to be a Liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. If such Indemnifying Party responds within such period and rejects such claim in whole or in part, the disputed matter shall be resolved in accordance with Article VIII .

37


(b)     Third Party Claims . If a claim or demand is made against an Indemnitee by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (a “ Third Party Claim ”) as to which such Indemnitee is or may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing (which notice obligation may be satisfied by providing copies of all notices and documents received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim), and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim promptly (and in any event within the earlier of (x) forty-five (45) days or (y) two (2) Business Days prior to the final date of the applicable response period under such Third Party Claim) after receipt by such Indemnitee of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided , however , that the failure to provide notice of any such Third Party Claim pursuant to this or the preceding sentence shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim. For all purposes of this Section 5.4(b) , each Party shall be deemed to have notice of the matters set forth on Schedule 1.1(84)(vii) .
(c)    Other than in the case of (i) Taxes addressed in the Tax Matters Agreement, which shall be addressed as set forth therein or (ii) indemnification by a beneficiary Party of a guarantor Party pursuant to Section 2.10(c) (the defense of which shall be controlled by the beneficiary Party), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof, and if it does not assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of Section 5.5 at such Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of an indemnification notice from such Indemnitee; provided , however , that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim to the extent such Third Party Claim (x) is an Action by a Governmental Entity, (y) involves an allegation of a criminal violation or (z) seeks injunctive relief against the Indemnitee. In connection with the Indemnifying Party’s defense of a Third Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, at its own expense and, in any event, shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent Information, materials and information in such Indemnitee’s possession or under such Indemnitee’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party; provided , however , that in the event of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the applicable Indemnitee(s), or in the event that any Third Party Claim seeks equitable relief which would restrict or limit the future conduct of the Indemnitee’s business or operations, such Indemnitee(s) shall be entitled to retain, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, separate counsel as required by the applicable rules of professional conduct with respect to such matter; provided further , that if the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim but has specified, and continues to assert, any reservations or exceptions to such defense or to its liability therefor, then, in any such case, the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for all Indemnitees shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to compromise or settle a Third Party Claim the defense of which it shall have assumed pursuant to this Section 5.4(c) and any such settlement or compromise made or caused to be made of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Article V shall be binding on the Indemnitee, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnitee unless such settlement (A) completely and unconditionally releases the Indemnitee in connection with such matter, (B) provides relief consisting solely of money damages borne by the Indemnifying Party and (C) does not involve any admission by the Indemnitee of any wrongdoing or violation of Law.
(d)    If an Indemnifying Party fails for any reason to assume responsibility for defending a Third Party Claim within the period specified in this Section 5.4 , such Indemnitee may

38


defend such Third Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. If an Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim within the time period specified in clause (c) above, it shall not be a defense to any obligation to pay any amount in respect of such Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party was not consulted in the defense thereof, that such Indemnifying Party’s views or opinions as to the conduct of such defense were not accepted or adopted, that such Indemnifying Party does not approve of the quality or manner of the defense thereof or that such Third Party Claim was incurred by reason of a settlement rather than by a judgment or other determination of liability.
(e)    Except as otherwise set forth in Section 6.5 and Section 8.3 , or to the extent set forth in any Ancillary Agreement, absent fraud or willful misconduct by an Indemnifying Party, the indemnification provisions of this Article V shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of an Indemnitee for any monetary or compensatory damages or losses resulting from any breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and each Indemnitee expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights, claims or remedies such Person may have with respect to the foregoing other than under this Article V against any Indemnifying Party. For the avoidance of doubt, all disputes in respect of this Article V shall be resolved in accordance with Article VIII .
(f)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Ancillary Agreement provides procedures for indemnification that differ from the provisions set forth in this Section 5.4 , the terms of the Ancillary Agreement will govern.
(g)    The provisions of this Article V shall apply to Third Party Claims that are already pending or asserted as well as Third Party Claims brought or asserted after the date of this Agreement. There shall be no requirement under this Section 5.4 to give a notice with respect to any Third Party Claim that exists as of the Effective Time. The Parties acknowledge that Liabilities for Actions (regardless of the parties to the Actions) may be partly Danaher Liabilities and partly Envista Liabilities. If the Parties cannot agree on the allocation of any such Liabilities for Actions, they shall resolve the matter pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article VIII . Neither Party shall, nor shall either Party permit its Subsidiaries to, file Third Party claims or cross-claims against the other Party or its Subsidiaries in an Action in which a Third Party Claim is being resolved.
Section 5.5     Cooperation in Defense and Settlement .
(a)    With respect to any Third Party Claim that implicates both Parties in any material respect due to the allocation of Liabilities, responsibilities for management of defense and related indemnities pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, the Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate fully and maintain a joint defense (in a manner that, to the extent reasonably practicable, will preserve for all Parties any Privilege with respect thereto). The Party that is not responsible for managing the defense of any such Third Party Claim shall, upon reasonable request, be consulted with respect to significant matters relating thereto and may, if necessary or helpful, retain counsel to assist in the defense of such claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.5(a) shall derogate from any Party’s rights to control the defense of any Action in accordance with Section 5.4 .
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any Action (i) by a Governmental Entity against Envista relating to matters involving anti-bribery, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, export control and similar laws, where the facts and circumstances giving rise to the Action occurred prior to the Effective Time or (ii) where the resolution of such Action by order, judgment, settlement or otherwise, could include any condition, limitation or other stipulation that could, in the reasonable judgment of Danaher, adversely impact the conduct of the Danaher Retained Businesses, Danaher shall have, at Danaher’s expense, the reasonable opportunity to consult, advise and comment in all preparation, planning and strategy regarding any such Action, including with regard to any drafts of notices and other conferences and communications to be provided or submitted by Envista to any third party involved in such Action (including any Governmental Entity), to the extent that Danaher’s

39


participation does not affect any privilege in a material and adverse manner; provided that to the extent that any such action requires the submission by Envista of any content relating to any current or former officer or director of Danaher, such content will only be submitted in a form approved by Danaher in its reasonable discretion. With regard to the matters specified in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), Danaher shall have a right to consent to any compromise or settlement related thereto.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any notices or reports to be submitted to, or reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements to be made with, any Governmental Entity by Envista or its Subsidiaries (“ Governmental Filing ”) where the Governmental Filing requires disclosure of facts, information or data that relate, in whole or in part, to periods prior to the Effective Time, Danaher shall have the reasonable opportunity to consult, advise and comment on the preparation and content of any such Governmental Filing in advance of its submission to a Governmental Entity, and Envista shall in good faith consider and take into account any comments so provided by Danaher with respect to such Governmental Filing.
(d)    Each of Danaher and Envista agrees that at all times from and after the Effective Time, if an Action is commenced by a third party naming two (2) or more Parties (or any member of such Parties’ respective Groups) as defendants and with respect to which one or more named Parties (or any member of such Party’s respective Group) is a nominal defendant and/or such Action is otherwise not a Liability allocated to such named Party under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then the other Party or Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts at its own expense to cause such nominal defendant to be removed from such Action, as soon as reasonably practicable.
Section 5.6     Indemnification Payments . Indemnification required by this Article V shall be made by periodic payments of the amount of Indemnifiable Losses in a timely fashion during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or an Indemnifiable Loss incurred.
Section 5.7     Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts .
(a)    Any recovery by any Indemnitee for any Indemnifiable Loss subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article V shall be calculated (i) net of Insurance Proceeds actually received by such Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss (which such proceeds shall be reduced by the present value, based on that Party’s then cost of short-term borrowing, of future premium increases known at such time) and (ii) net of any proceeds actually received by the Indemnitee from any unaffiliated third party with respect to any such Liability corresponding to the Indemnifiable Loss (“ Third Party Proceeds ”). Accordingly, the amount which any Indemnifying Party is required to pay pursuant to this Article V to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article V shall be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee corresponding to the related Indemnifiable Loss. If an Indemnitee receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party corresponding to any Indemnifiable Loss (an “ Indemnity Payment ”) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds, then the Indemnitee shall pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.
(b)    Any Indemnity Payment shall be increased as necessary so that after making all payments corresponding to Taxes imposed on or attributable to such Indemnity Payment, the Indemnitee receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such Taxes been imposed.
(c)    The Parties hereby agree that an insurer or other third party that would otherwise be obligated to pay any amount shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or have any subrogation rights with respect thereto by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and that no insurer or any other Third Party shall be entitled to a “windfall” ( e.g. , a benefit they would not otherwise be entitled to receive, or the reduction or elimination of an insurance coverage obligation that they would otherwise have, in the absence of the indemnification or release

40


provisions) by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to collect or recover, or allow the Indemnifying Party to collect or recover, or cooperate with each other in collecting or recovering, any Insurance Proceeds that may be collectible or recoverable respecting the Liabilities for which indemnification may be available under this Article V . Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party may not delay making any indemnification payment required under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise satisfying any indemnification obligation, pending the outcome of any Actions to collect or recover Insurance Proceeds, and an Indemnitee need not attempt to collect any Insurance Proceeds prior to making a claim for indemnification or receiving any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed to it under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.
Section 5.8     Contribution . If the indemnification provided for in this Article V is unavailable for any reason to an Indemnitee (other than failure to provide notice with respect to any Third Party Claims in accordance with Section 5.4(b) ) in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss, then the Indemnifying Party shall, in accordance with this Section 5.8 , contribute to the Indemnifiable Losses incurred, paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Indemnifiable Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of Envista and each other member of the Envista Group, on the one hand, and Danaher and each other member of the Danaher Group, on the other hand, in connection with the circumstances which resulted in such Indemnifiable Loss. With respect to any Indemnifiable Losses arising out of or related to information contained in the IPO Disclosure Documents or other securities law filing, the relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact relates to information supplied by the Envista Business of a member of the Envista Group, on the one hand, or the Danaher Retained Business or a member of the Danaher Group, on the other hand.
Section 5.9     Additional Matters; Survival of Indemnities .
(a)    The indemnity agreements contained in this Article V shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee; and (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnitee of Indemnifiable Losses for which it might be entitled to indemnification hereunder. The indemnity agreements contained in this Article V shall survive the IPO.
(b)    The rights and obligations of any member of the Danaher Group or any member of the Envista Group, in each case, under this Article V shall survive (i) the sale or other Transfer by any Party or its Affiliates of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities and (ii) any merger, consolidation, business combination, restructuring, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction involving either Party or any of its Subsidiaries.
Section 5.10     Environmental Matters .
(a)     Exchange of Information . Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, each of Danaher and Envista agrees to provide, or cause to be provided, at any time before, at, or after the Effective Time, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefore, reasonable access to any non-privileged information in the possession or under the control of such respective Group and reasonable access to its employees to the extent that (i) such information relates to, or such employees have relevant knowledge regarding, specific alleged Environmental Liabilities, including the requesting party’s alleged or potential link to environmental contamination at an Off-Site Location or real property that was allegedly owned or operated by the Danaher Group and any operating group, business unit, division, Subsidiary, line of business or investment of Danaher or any of its Subsidiaries (including any member of the Envista Group) prior to the Effective Time; or (ii) such information relates to, or such employees have relevant knowledge regarding, the impact that any alleged Environmental Liability could have on the operations, activities or liability exposure of the requesting party; and (iii) the information and access to employees can be provided without significant disruption to the Group’s business or operations.

41


(b)     Substitution .
(i)    Envista shall use its best efforts to obtain any consents, transfers, assignments, assumptions, waivers, or other legal instruments necessary to cause Envista or the appropriate Subsidiary of Envista to be fully substituted for Danaher or other member of the Danaher Group with respect to: (i) any order, decree, judgment, agreement or Action with respect to Envista Environmental Liabilities that are in effect as of the Effective Time; or (ii) Environmental Permits, financial assurance obligations or instruments, or other environmental approvals or filings associated with the Envista Assets. Envista shall inform the applicable Governmental Entity about its assumption of the Environmental Liabilities associated with the matters listed on Section 5.10(b) and request that the Governmental Entities direct all communications, requirements, notifications and/or official letters related to such matters to Envista. Danaher shall use its best efforts to provide necessary assistance or signatures to Envista to achieve the purposes of this section.
(ii)    Until such time as Envista and Danaher complete the substitutions outlined in Section 5.10(b)(i) above, Envista shall comply with all applicable Environmental Laws, including all reporting obligations, and the terms and conditions of all orders, decrees, judgments, agreements, actions, Environmental Permits, financial assurances, obligations, instruments or other environmental approvals or filings that remain in Danaher’s name relating to the Envista Assets and the Envista Environmental Liabilities.

Envista agrees to provide to Danaher all information that Danaher requests in connection with any Danaher Public Filings or that, in the judgment of Danaher’s counsel, is required to be disclosed or incorporated by reference therein under any Law. Envista will provide such information in a timely manner on the dates requested by Danaher (which may be earlier than the dates on which Envista otherwise would be required hereunder to have such information available) to enable Danaher to prepare, print and release all Danaher Public Filings on such dates as Danaher will determine but in no event later than as required by applicable Law. Envista will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause Envista Auditors to consent to any reference to them as experts in any Danaher Public Filings required under any Law. If and to the extent requested by Danaher, Envista will diligently and promptly review all drafts of such Danaher Public Filings and prepare in a diligent and timely fashion any portion of such Danaher Public Filing pertaining to Envista. Prior to any printing or public release of any Danaher Public Filing, an appropriate executive officer of Envista will, if requested by Danaher, certify that the information relating to any member of the Envista Group or the Envista Business in such Danaher Public Filing is accurate, true, complete and correct in all material respects. Unless required by Law, Envista will not publicly release any financial or other information which conflicts with the information with respect to any member of the Envista Group or the Envista Business that is included in any Danaher Public Filing without Danaher’s prior written consent.

53


extended if and for so long as any amendments to, or restatements or modifications of, any Danaher Public Filings made during such period are necessary, an “ Applicable Period ”), and for purposes of Section 7.2(a) only, for so long as services are being provided under the Transition Services Agreement, it shall comply with the following additional obligations:
(a) Selection of Envista Auditors . Unless required by Law or directed by Danaher, Envista will not select an accounting firm other than Ernst & Young LLP (or its affiliate accounting firms) to serve as its independent certified public accountants (“ Envista Auditors ”) without Danaher’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Envista shall obtain the approval of Danaher prior to engaging Ernst & Young LLP (or its affiliate accounting firms) for any non-audit services, including any such services that may affect the accounting firm’s independence.
(b) Audit Timing . Beginning with the 2019 fiscal year, Envista will use its best efforts to enable Envista Auditors to complete their audit for the 2019 fiscal year such that they will date their opinion on the Annual Financial Statements on the same date that Danaher’s independent certified public accountants (“ Danaher Auditors ”) date their opinion on the Danaher Annual Statements, and to enable Danaher to meet its timetable for the printing, filing and public dissemination of the Danaher Annual Statements, all in accordance with Section 7.1(a) hereof and as required by applicable Law.
(c) Quarterly Review . Beginning in the 2019 fiscal year, Envista shall use its best efforts to enable Danaher Auditors to complete their quarterly review procedures on the Quarterly Financial Statements on the same date that Danaher Auditors complete their quarterly review procedures on Danaher’s quarterly financial statements.
(d) Information Needed by Danaher . Envista will provide to Danaher on a timely basis all information that Danaher requires to meet its schedule for the preparation, printing, filing, and public dissemination of the Danaher Annual Statements in accordance with Section 7.1(a) hereof and as required by applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Envista will provide all required financial information with respect to the Envista Group to Envista Auditors in a sufficient and reasonable time and in sufficient detail to permit Envista Auditors to take all steps and perform all reviews necessary to provide sufficient assistance to Danaher Auditors with respect to information to be included or contained in the Danaher Annual Statements.
(e) Access to Envista Auditors . Envista will authorize Envista Auditors to make available to the Danaher Auditors both the personnel who performed, or are performing, the annual audit and quarterly reviews of Envista and work papers related to the annual audit and quarterly reviews of Envista, in all cases within a reasonable time prior to Envista Auditors’ opinion date, so that the Danaher Auditors are able to perform the procedures they consider necessary to take responsibility for the work of Envista Auditors as it relates to the Danaher Auditors’ report on Danaher’s statements, all within sufficient time to enable Danaher to meet its timetable for the printing, filing and public dissemination of the Danaher Annual Statements.
(f) Access to Records . Envista will provide Danaher Auditors and Danaher’s other Representatives, including Danaher’s internal auditors, with access to the Envista Group’s books and records so that Danaher may conduct audits relating to the financial statements provided by Envista under this Agreement as well as to the internal accounting controls and operations of the Envista Group.
(g) Operating Review Process . Envista shall conduct its strategic and operational review process on a schedule that is consistent with that of Danaher’s. As a supplement to the information furnished by Envista to Danaher pursuant to Section 7.1 , Envista shall allow Danaher to conduct its strategic and operational reviews of Envista through participation in meetings or other activities of the Envista Board by the Danaher Designees or otherwise as requested by Danaher outside of such meetings or other activities of the Envista Board. To facilitate Danaher’s participation in the process in this manner, Envista shall hold all of its regularly scheduled board meetings at which its strategic and operational reviews are discussed within a time frame consistent with Danaher’s strategic and operational

54


review process. Envista shall also allow Danaher to conduct all other reviews of Envista’s operations, affairs, finances or results (other than those required to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements or its customary financial reporting practices) through participation in meetings or other activities of the Envista Board by the Danaher Designees or otherwise as requested by Danaher outside of such meetings or other activities of the Envista Board. In connection with strategic, operational or other reviews, relevant Danaher personnel other than the Danaher Designees may participate at Danaher’s invitation. Danaher will notify Envista in advance of any such additional attendees.
(h) Notice of Changes . Envista will give Danaher as much prior notice as reasonably practicable of any proposed determination of, or any significant changes in, Envista’s accounting estimates or accounting principles from those in effect on the Effective Date. Envista will consult with Danaher and, if requested by Danaher, Envista will consult with the Danaher Auditors with respect thereto. Envista will not make any such determination or changes without Danaher’s prior written consent if such a determination or a change would be sufficiently material to be required to be disclosed in Envista’s or Danaher’s financial statements as filed with the Commission or otherwise publicly disclosed therein.
(i) Accounting Changes Requested by Danaher . Notwithstanding clause (h) above, Envista will make any changes in its accounting practices or accounting principles, including any changes in the interpretation or application of GAAP, that are requested by Danaher in order for Envista’s accounting practices and principles to be consistent with those of Danaher.
(j) Special Reports of Deficiencies or Violations . Envista will report in reasonable detail to Danaher the following events or circumstances promptly (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours) after any executive officer of Envista or any member of the Envista Board becomes aware of such matter: (A) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect Envista’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Envista’s internal controls over financial reporting; (C) any illegal act within the meaning of Section 10A(b) and (f) of the Exchange Act; and (D) any other material violation of Law (including any violation of law that an attorney representing any member of the Envista Group has formally reported to any officers or directors of Envista pursuant to the Commission’s attorney conduct rules (17 C.F.R. Part 205)).
Section 7.3     Envista Board Representation .
(a) Following the Effective Date, and for so long as the Danaher Group Beneficially Owns shares of Envista Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, a majority of the total voting power of the then outstanding Envista Voting Stock with respect to the election of directors, Danaher shall have the right to designate for nomination by the Envista Board (or any nominating committee thereof) for election to the Envista Board (each person so designated, a “ Danaher Designee ”) a majority of the members of the Envista Board, including the Chairman of the Board. For so long as the Danaher Group Beneficially Owns shares of Envista Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, less than a majority but at least 10% of the total voting power of the then outstanding Envista Voting Stock with respect to the election of directors, Danaher shall have the right to designate for nomination by the Envista Board (or any nominating committee thereof) for election to the Envista Board a proportionate number of Danaher Designees to the Envista Board, as calculated in accordance with Section 7.3(d) . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Envista’s obligations with respect to the election or appointment of Danaher Designees (i) shall be limited to the obligations set forth under this Section 7.3 and (ii) shall be further limited by Envista’s compliance with Law and any applicable Commission or stock exchange director independence requirements (giving effect to any “controlled company” exemption applicable thereto), provided that Envista otherwise exercises best efforts to comply therewith.
(b) For so long as the Danaher Group Beneficially Owns shares of Envista Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, a majority of the total voting power of the then outstanding Envista

55


Voting Stock with respect to the election of directors, Envista shall take advantage of all available “controlled company” exemptions under the rules of the stock exchange on which Envista’s shares are listed, including exemptions from compliance with certain corporate governance requirements relating to director independence. Commencing with the annual meeting of stockholders of Envista to be held in 2020 and prior to each annual meeting of stockholders of Envista thereafter, Danaher shall be entitled to present to the Envista Board or any nominating committee thereof for nomination thereby such number of Danaher Designees for election to the Envista Board (or if there is a classified board, the class of directors up for election) at such annual meeting as would result in Danaher having the appropriate number of Danaher Designees on the Envista Board as determined pursuant to this Section 7.3 .
(c) Envista shall at all such times exercise all authority under applicable Law and cause all such Danaher Designees to be nominated for election as members of the Envista Board by the Envista Board (or any nominating committee thereof). Envista shall cause each Danaher Designee for election to the Envista Board to be included in the slate of nominees recommended by the Envista Board to holders of Envista Common Stock (including at any special meeting of stockholders held for the election of directors) and shall use best efforts to cause the election of each such Danaher Designee, including soliciting proxies in favor of the election of such persons. In the event that any Danaher Designee elected to the Envista Board shall cease to serve as a director for any reason, the vacancy resulting therefrom shall be filled by the Envista Board with a substitute Danaher Designee. In the event that as a result of any increase in the size of the Envista Board, Danaher is entitled to have one or more additional Danaher Designees elected to the Envista Board pursuant to this Section 7.3 , the Envista Board shall appoint the appropriate number of such additional Danaher Designees.
(d) If at any time the Danaher Group Beneficially Owns shares of Envista Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, less than a majority but at least 10% of the total voting power of the then outstanding Envista Voting Stock with respect to the election of directors, the number of persons Danaher shall be entitled to designate for nomination by the Envista Board (or any nominating committee thereof) for election to the Envista Board shall be equal to the number of directors computed using the following formula (rounded to the nearest whole number): the product of (i) the percentage of the total voting power of the then outstanding Envista Voting Stock Beneficially Owned by the Danaher Group and (ii) the number of directors then on the Envista Board (assuming no vacancies exist). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the calculation set forth in the foregoing sentence would result in Danaher being entitled to elect a majority of the members of the Envista Board solely as a result of rounding, the formula will be recalculated with the product being rounded down to the nearest whole number; provided , however , that if the Danaher Group, at any time, acquires additional shares of Envista Common Stock so that the Danaher Group Beneficially Owns shares of Envista Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, a majority of the total voting power of the then outstanding Envista Voting Stock with respect to the election of directors, then the number of persons Danaher shall be entitled to designate for nomination by the Envista Board (or any nominating committee thereof) for election to the Envista Board shall be adjusted upward, if appropriate as a result of rounding, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.3(d) . If the number of Danaher Designees serving on the Envista Board exceeds the number determined pursuant to the foregoing sentences of this Section 7.3(d) (such difference being herein called the “ Excess Director Number ”), then Danaher in its sole discretion shall instruct such Danaher Designees (the number of which designees shall be equal to the Excess Director Number) to promptly resign from the Envista Board, and, to the extent such persons do not so resign, Danaher shall assist Envista in increasing the size of the Envista Board, so that after giving effect to such increase, the number of Danaher Designees on the Envista Board is in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.3(d) .
(e) The Parties agree that the Envista Board shall consist of three classes of directors at the Effective Time, which shall include three (3) Danaher Designees in Class I and two (2) Danaher Designee in Class III, as set forth in the IPO Registration Statement.
Section 7.4     Committees . As of the Effective Date and for so long as the Danaher Group Beneficially Owns shares of Envista Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, a majority of the total voting power of the then outstanding Envista Voting Stock with respect to the election of directors, any

56


committee of the Envista Board shall, unless Danaher consents otherwise, be composed of directors at least a majority of which are Danaher Designees; provided that the Danaher Designees on any committee of the Envista Board shall comply with the applicable director independence requirements under applicable Law, after taking into account all available “controlled company” exemptions under the rules of the stock exchange on which Envista’s shares are listed. As of the Effective Date and for so long as the Danaher Group Beneficially Owns shares of Envista Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, less than a majority but at least 10% of the total voting power of the then outstanding Envista Voting Stock with respect to the election of directors, each committee of the Envista Board shall, unless Danaher consents otherwise, include at least one Danaher Designee; provided that the Danaher Designees on any committee of the Envista Board shall comply with the applicable director independence requirements under applicable Law.
Section 7.5     Other Covenants . In addition to the other covenants contained in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, Envista hereby covenants and agrees that, for so long as Danaher Beneficially Owns shares of Envista Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, a majority of the total voting power of the then outstanding Envista Voting Stock with respect to the election of directors:
(a)    Envista will not, without the prior written consent of Danaher, take, or cause to be taken, directly or indirectly, any action, including making or failing to make any election under the Law of any state, which has the effect, directly or indirectly, of restricting or limiting the ability of Danaher to freely sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of shares of Envista Common Stock or would restrict or limit the rights of any transferee of Danaher as a holder of Envista Common Stock. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Envista will not, without the prior written consent of Danaher, (i) adopt or thereafter amend, supplement, restate, modify or alter any stockholder rights plan in any manner that would result in (A) an increase in the ownership of Envista Common Stock by Danaher causing the rights thereunder to detach or become exercisable and/or (B) Danaher and its transferees not being entitled to the same rights thereunder as other holders of Envista Common Stock or (ii) take any action, or take any action to recommend to its stockholders any action, which would among other things, limit the legal rights of, or deny any benefit to, Danaher as an Envista stockholder either (A) solely as a result of the amount of Envista Common Stock owned by Danaher or (B) in a manner not applicable to Envista stockholders generally.
(b)    Except with respect to the aggregate number of shares of Envista Common Stock approved by the Envista Board and its stockholders pursuant to the Envista 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan, Envista will not, without the prior written consent of Danaher, issue any Envista Securities; provided , that in no case shall any issuance (including any issuance of Envista Securities pursuant to the Envista 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan or any other benefit plans or arrangements approved by the Envista Board) result in Danaher owning directly or indirectly less than (i) a majority of the outstanding shares of Envista Common Stock (on a fully-diluted basis) or (ii) 80% of the total voting power of the then outstanding Envista Voting Stock (on a fully-diluted basis) with respect to the election of directors. Prior to the Disposition Date, Envista shall not, without the prior written consent of Danaher issue any share of Envista Non-Voting Stock.
(c)    To the extent that Danaher is a party to any Contracts that provide that certain actions or inactions of Danaher Affiliates (which for purposes of such Contract include any member of the Envista Group) may result in Danaher being in breach of or in default under such Contracts and Danaher has advised Envista of the existence, and has furnished Envista with copies, of such Contracts (or the relevant portions thereof), Envista will not take or fail to take, as applicable, and Envista will cause the other members of the Envista Group not to take or fail to take, as applicable, any actions that reasonably could result in Danaher being in breach of or in default under any such Contract. The Parties acknowledge and agree that from time to time Danaher may in good faith enter into additional Contracts or amendments to existing Contracts that provide that certain actions or inactions of Danaher Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including, for purposes of this Section 7.5(c) , members of the Envista Group) may result in Danaher being in breach of or in default under such Contracts. In such event, provided Danaher has notified Envista of such additional Contracts or amendments to existing Contracts, Envista will not

57


thereafter take or fail to take, as applicable, and Envista will cause the other members of the Envista Group not to take or fail to take, as applicable, any actions that reasonably could result in Danaher being in breach of or in default under any such additional Contracts or amendments to existing Contracts. Danaher acknowledges and agrees that Envista will not be deemed in breach of this Section 7.5(c) to the extent that, prior to being notified by Danaher of an additional Contract or an amendment to an existing Contract pursuant to this Section 7.5(c) , an Envista Group member already has taken or failed to take one or more actions that would otherwise constitute a breach of this Section 7.5(c) had such action(s) or inaction(s) occurred after such notification; provided that Envista does not, after notification by Danaher, take any further action or fail to take any action that contributes further to such breach or default. Envista agrees that any Information provided to it pursuant to this Section 7.5(c) will constitute Information that is subject to Envista’s obligations under Article VI.
(d)    For the duration of the Transition Services Agreement (but only to the extent that the Services provided by Danaher under the Transition Services Agreement relate to making payments on Envista’s behalf, maintenance of books and records, or otherwise present, in Danaher’s judgment, a potential risk to Danaher under any applicable anti-corruption Law):
(i) Envista will, and will cause each other member of the Envista Group to, not take any action directly or indirectly to (A) offer or pay, or authorize the offer or payment of, any money or anything of value, or (B) accept any payment referred to in clause (A), in each case, in order to improperly or corruptly seek to influence any Government Official or any other person in order to gain an improper advantage;
(ii) Envista will, and will cause each other member of the Envista Group to, implement, maintain and enforce a compliance and ethics program in substance and form and effectiveness reasonably equivalent to Danaher’s compliance and ethics program, designed to prevent and detect violations of applicable anti-corruption Laws throughout its operations (including Subsidiaries) and the operations of its contractors and sub-contractors; and
(iii) Envista will, and will cause each other member of the Envista Group to, implement, maintain and enforce, a system of adequate internal accounting controls designed to ensure the making and keeping of fair and accurate books, records and accounts.
Section 7.6     Danaher Policies and Procedures . Prior to the Disposition Date and except as (a) otherwise agreed between the parties hereto from time to time, (b) set forth on Schedule 7.6 or (c) set forth in any Ancillary Agreement, Envista consistently will implement and maintain Danaher’s business practices and standards in accordance with the Danaher policies and procedures in effect as of the Effective Date, as they may be amended or supplemented by Danaher from time to time (and, in any such event, Danaher shall provide notice to Envista of any such amendment or supplement in accordance with Section 10.6 ). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Envista may apply materiality thresholds that are lower than those contained in any such Danaher policy and procedure. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.6 to the contrary, in circumstances where a provision of the Charter or the Bylaws or any Ancillary Agreement, on the one hand, and a Danaher policy applicable to Subsidiaries of Danaher, on the other hand, would each apply, the provision in the Charter or the Bylaws or the Ancillary Agreement shall control with respect to Envista and its Subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that neither Danaher nor any member of the Danaher Group shall be subject to any policies or procedures implemented by Envista, including any policies, procedures or limitations (other than any applicable Laws) with respect to trading in Envista’s securities.
Section 7.7     Covenants Regarding the Incurrence of Indebtedness .
(a)    Envista covenants and agrees that, from and after the Effective Date until the Disposition Date, Envista will not, and Envista will not permit any other member of the Envista Group to, without Danaher’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly, incur any Envista Debt Obligations other

58


than pursuant to Envista Financing Arrangements and such other unsecured and uncommitted lines of credit made available to members of the Envista Group as of the Effective Date.
(b)    In order to implement this Section 7.7 , Envista will notify Danaher in writing as promptly as practicable following the time it or any other member of the Envista Group determines it wishes to incur any Envista Debt Obligations for which Danaher’s prior written consent is required.
Section 7.8     Applicability of Rights in the Event of an Acquisition of Envista . In the event Envista merges into, consolidates, sells substantially all of its assets to or otherwise becomes an Affiliate of a Person (other than Danaher), pursuant to a transaction or series of related transactions in which Danaher or any member of the Danaher Group receives equity securities of such Person (or of any Affiliate of such Person) in exchange for Envista Common Stock held by Danaher or any member of the Danaher Group, all of the rights of Danaher set forth in this Article VII shall continue in full force and effect and shall apply to the Person the equity securities of which are received by Danaher pursuant to such transaction or series of related transactions (it being understood that all other provisions of this Agreement will apply to Envista notwithstanding this Section 7.8 ).

Danaher may transfer all or any portion of its rights under this Article VII to a transferee of any Envista Common Stock from any member of the Danaher Group (a “ Danaher Transferee ”) holding at least 10% of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares of Envista Common Stock. Danaher shall give written notice to Envista of its transfer of rights under this Article VII no later than thirty (30) days after Danaher enters into a binding agreement for such transfer of rights.

Section 10.21     Tax Treatment of Payments . Unless otherwise required by a Final Determination, this Agreement or the Tax Matters Agreement or otherwise agreed to among the Parties, for U.S. federal Tax purposes, any payment made pursuant to this Agreement (other than any payment of interest pursuant to Section 10.11 ) by: (i) Envista to Danaher shall be treated for all Tax purposes as a distribution by Envista to Danaher with respect to stock of Envista occurring on or immediately before the Effective Date; or (ii) Danaher to Envista shall be treated for all Tax purposes as a tax-free contribution by Danaher to Envista with respect to its stock occurring on or immediately before the Effective Date; and in each case, no Party shall take any position inconsistent with such treatment.

such challenge. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Danaher shall notify Envista if it determines that any payment made pursuant to this Agreement is to be treated, for any Tax purposes, as a payment made by one Party acting as an agent of one of such Party’s Subsidiaries to the other Party acting as an agent of one of such other Party’s Subsidiaries, and the Parties agree to treat any such payment accordingly.
Section 10.22     No Waiver .

Section 10.23     No Admission of Liability . The allocation of Assets and Liabilities herein (including on the Schedules hereto) is solely for the purpose of allocating such Assets and Liabilities between Danaher and Envista and is not intended as an admission of liability or responsibility for any alleged Liabilities vis-à-vis any third party, including with respect to the Liabilities of any non-wholly owned subsidiary of Danaher or Envista.
Section 10.24     Advisors . It is acknowledged and agreed by each of the Parties that Danaher, on behalf of itself and the other members of the Danaher Group, has retained each of the Persons identified on Schedule 10.24 to act as counsel in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Internal Reorganization, the Contribution, the IPO and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that the Persons listed on Schedule 10.24 have not acted as counsel for Envista or any other member of the Envista Group in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Internal Reorganization, the Contribution, the IPO and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that none of Envista or any member of the Envista Group has the status of a client of the Persons listed on Schedule 10.24 for conflict of interest or any other purposes as a result thereof.

Section 5.6     Code Section 409A . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith regarding the need for any treatment different from that otherwise provided herein with respect to the payment of compensation to ensure that the treatment of such compensation does not cause the imposition of a Tax under Section 409A of the Code.

In the event that any Envista Employee described above shall have any dispute with the short-term disability benefits they are receiving under an Envista Welfare Plan, any and all appeal rights of such employees shall be realized through the Envista Welfare Plan (and any appeal rights such Envista Employee may have under any Danaher Welfare Plan will be limited to benefits received and time periods occurring prior to the Plan Transition Date).

ARTICLE II
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
2.1     Registration .
(a) Request . Any Holder(s) of Registrable Securities (collectively, the “ Initiating Holder ”) shall have the right to request that Envista file a Registration Statement with the SEC on the appropriate registration form for all or part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder once such Registrable Securities are no longer subject to the underwriter lock-up applicable to the IPO (which may be due to the expiration or waiver of such lock-up with respect to such Registrable Securities) by delivering a written request to Envista specifying the number of shares of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to Register (a “ Demand Registration ”). Envista shall (i) within five (5) days of the receipt of such request, give written notice of such Demand Registration to all Holders of Registrable Securities (the “ Envista Notice ”), (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to file a Registration Statement in respect of such Demand Registration within thirty (30) days of receipt of the request, and (iii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as expeditiously as possible. Envista shall include in such Registration all Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be included within the ten (10) days following their receipt of the Envista Notice.
(b) Limitations of Demand Registrations . There shall be no limitation on the number of Demand Registrations pursuant to Section 2.1(a) ; provided , however , that the Holders may not require Envista to effect a Demand Registration (i) in violation of the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the IPO or (ii) within sixty (60) days after the effective date of a previous registration by Envista, other than a Shelf Registration, effected pursuant to this Section 2.1 (it being understood that the IPO Registration Statement shall not be treated as a Demand Registration). In the event that any Person shall have received rights to Demand Registrations pursuant to Section 2.7 or Section 3.3 , and such Person shall have made a Demand Registration request, such request shall be treated as having been made by the Holder(s). The Registrable Securities requested to be Registered pursuant to Section 2.1(a) must represent (i) an aggregate offering price of Registrable Securities that is reasonably expected to equal at least $10,000,000 (or its equivalent if the Registrable Securities are to be offered in an exchange offer) or (ii) all of the remaining Registrable Securities owned by the requesting Holder and its Affiliates.
(c) Effective Registration . Envista shall be deemed to have effected a Registration for purposes of Section 2.1(b) if the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC or becomes

4


effective upon filing with the SEC, and remains effective until the earlier of (i) the date when all Registrable Securities thereunder have been sold and (ii) ninety (90) days from the effective date of the Registration Statement (the “ Registration Period ”). No Registration shall be deemed to have been effective if the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such Registration are not satisfied by reason of Envista. If, during the Registration Period, such Registration is interfered with by any Registration Suspension, stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other Governmental Agency, the Registration Period shall be extended on a day-for-day basis for any period the Holder is unable to complete an offering as a result of such Registration Suspension, stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other Governmental Agency.
(d) Delay in Filing; Suspension of Registration . If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement would, as reasonably determined in good faith by Envista, require the disclosure of material non-public information that Envista has a bona fide business purpose to keep confidential and the disclosure of which would have a material adverse effect on any active proposal by Envista or any of its Subsidiaries to engage in any material acquisition, merger, consolidation, tender offer, other business combination, reorganization or other similar material transaction, Envista may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, postpone the filing or effectiveness of such Registration (a “ Registration Suspension ”) for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days; provided , however , that Envista may exercise a Registration Suspension no more than two (2) times in any twelve (12)-month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such delay shall exceed such number of days that Envista determines in good faith to be reasonably necessary. Envista shall (i) immediately notify the Holders upon the termination of any Registration Suspension, (ii) amend or supplement the Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement or omission therein and (iii) furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the Holders may reasonably request.
(e) Underwritten Offering . If the Initiating Holder so indicates at the time of its request pursuant to Section 2.1(a) , such offering of Registrable Securities shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering and Envista shall include such information in the Envista Notice. In the event that the Initiating Holder intends to distribute the Registrable Securities by means of an Underwritten Offering, the right of any Holder to include Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting.
(f) Priority of Securities in an Underwritten Offering . If the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering, including an Underwritten Offering from a Shelf Registration, pursuant to this Section 2.1 informs the Holders with Registrable Securities in the proposed Underwritten Offering in writing that, in its or their opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering exceeds the number that can be sold in such Underwritten Offering without being likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the securities offered, then the securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering shall be reduced to such number that can be sold without such adverse effect and the securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering shall be: (i) first, Registrable Securities requested by Danaher to be included in such Underwritten Offering; (ii) second, Registrable Securities requested by all other Holders to be included in such Underwritten Offering on a pro rata basis calculated based on the number of shares requested to be registered; and (iii) third, all other securities requested and otherwise eligible to be included in such Underwritten Offering (including securities to be sold for the account of Envista) on a pro rata basis calculated based on the number of shares requested to be registered.
(g) Shelf Registration . At any time after the date hereof when Envista is eligible to Register the applicable Registrable Securities on Form S-3 (or a successor form) and the Holder may request Demand Registrations, the requesting Holders may request Envista to effect a Demand Registration as a Shelf Registration. There shall be no limitations on the number of Underwritten Offerings pursuant to a Shelf Registration. Any Holder of Registrable Securities included on a Shelf

5


Registration shall have the right to request that Envista cooperate in a shelf takedown at any time, including an Underwritten Offering, by delivering a written request thereof to Envista specifying the number of shares of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in the shelf takedown (“ Takedown Notice ”). Envista shall (i) within five (5) days of the receipt of a Takedown Notice for an Underwritten Offering, give written notice of such Takedown Notice to all Holders of Registrable Securities included on such Shelf Registration (“ Envista Takedown Notice ”), and (ii) take all actions reasonably requested by such Holder, including the filing of a Prospectus supplement and the other actions described in Section 2.4 , in accordance with the intended method of distribution set forth in the Takedown Notice as expeditiously as possible. If the takedown is an Underwritten Offering, Envista shall include in such Underwritten Offering all Registrable Securities that that the Holders request to be included within the two (2) days following their receipt of the Envista Takedown Notice. If the takedown is an Underwritten Offering, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a shelf takedown must represent (i) an aggregate offering price of Registrable Securities that is reasonably expected to equal at least $10,000,000 or (ii) all of the remaining Registrable Securities owned by the requesting Holder and its Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, the requirement to deliver a Takedown Notice and the piggyback rights described in this Section 2.1(g) shall not apply to an Underwritten Offering that constitutes a block trade.
(h) SEC Form . Except as set forth in the next sentence, Envista shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Demand Registrations to be Registered on Form S-3 (or any successor form), and if Envista is not then eligible under the Securities Act to use Form S-3, Demand Registrations shall be Registered on Form S-1 (or any successor form) or Form S-4 (in the case of an exchange offer). If a Demand Registration is a Convertible or Exchange Registration, Envista shall effect such Registration on the appropriate Form under the Securities Act for such Registrations. Envista shall use its reasonable best efforts to become eligible to use Form S-3 and, after becoming eligible to use Form S-3, shall use its reasonable best efforts to remain so eligible. All Demand Registrations shall comply with applicable requirements of the Securities Act and, together with each Prospectus included, filed or otherwise furnished by Envista in connection therewith, shall not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
2.2     Piggyback Registrations .
(a) Participation . If Envista proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to any offering of Envista Common Stock for its own account and/or for the account of any other Persons (other than a Registration (i) under Section 2.1 hereof, (ii) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 or Form S-4 or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act, (iii) pursuant to any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a Registration Statement covering the sale of Registrable Securities, (iv) in connection with any dividend reinvestment or similar plan, (v) for the sole purpose of offering securities to another entity or its security holders in connection with the acquisition of assets or securities of such entity or any similar transaction or (vi) in which the only Envista Common Stock being Registered is Envista Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being Registered) (an “ Envista Public Sale ”), then, as soon as practicable (but in no event less than fifteen (15) days prior to the proposed date of filing such Registration Statement), Envista shall give written notice of such proposed filing to each Holder, and such notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to Register under such Registration Statement such number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request in writing (a “ Piggyback Registration ”). Subject to Section 2.2(a) and Section 2.2(c) , Envista shall include in such Registration Statement all such Registrable Securities that are requested to be included therein within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of any such notice; provided , however , that if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to Register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Registration, Envista shall determine for any reason not to Register or to delay Registration of such securities, Envista may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each such Holder and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination

6


not to Register, shall be relieved of its obligation to Register any Registrable Securities in connection with such Registration, without prejudice, however, to the rights of any Holder to request that such Registration be effected as a Demand Registration under Section 2.1 , and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay Registration, shall be permitted to delay Registering any Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in Registering such other shares of Envista Common Stock. No Registration effected under this Section 2.2 shall relieve Envista of its obligation to effect any Demand Registration under Section 2.1 . If the offering pursuant to a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2.2 is to be an Underwritten Offering, then each Holder making a request for a Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) shall, and Envista shall use reasonable best efforts to coordinate arrangements with the underwriters so that each such Holder may, participate in such Underwritten Offering. If the offering pursuant to such Registration Statement is to be on any other basis, then each Holder making a request for a Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) shall, and Envista shall use reasonable best efforts to coordinate arrangements so that each such Holder may, participate in such offering on such basis. Envista’s filing of a Shelf Registration shall not be deemed to be an Envista Public Sale; provided, however, that the proposal to file any Prospectus supplement filed pursuant to a Shelf Registration with respect to an offering of Envista Common Stock for its own account and/or for the account of any other Persons will be an Envista Public Sale unless such offering qualifies for an exemption from the Envista Public Sale definition in this Section 2.2(a) ; provided , further that if Envista files a Shelf Registration for its own account and/or for the account of any other Persons, Envista agrees that it shall use its reasonable best efforts to include in such Registration Statement such disclosures as may be required by Rule 430B under the Securities Act in order to ensure that the Holders may be added to such Shelf Registration at a later time through the filing of a Prospectus supplement rather than a post-effective amendment.
(b) Right to Withdraw . Each Holder shall have the right to withdraw such Holder’s request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 2.2 at any time prior to the execution of an underwriting agreement with respect thereto by giving written notice to Envista of such Holder’s request to withdraw and, subject to the preceding clause, each Holder shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of such Holder’s Registrable Securities from a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effective date thereof.
(c) Priority of Piggyback Registration . If the managing underwriter or underwriters of any proposed Underwritten Offering of a class of Registrable Securities included in a Piggyback Registration informs Envista and the Holders in writing that, in its or their opinion, the number of securities of such class which such Holder and any other Persons intend to include in such Underwritten Offering exceeds the number which can be sold in such Underwritten Offering without being likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the securities offered, then the securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering shall be reduced to such number that can be sold without such adverse effect and the securities to be included in the Underwritten Offering shall be (i) first, all securities of Envista or any other Persons for whom Envista is effecting the Underwritten Offering, as the case may be, proposes to sell; (ii) second, Registrable Securities requested by Danaher to be included in such Underwritten Offering; (iii) third, Registrable Securities requested by all other Holders to be included in such Underwritten Offering on a pro rata basis calculated based on the number of shares requested to be registered; and (iv) fourth, all other securities requested and otherwise eligible to be included in such Underwritten Offering (including securities to be sold for the account of Envista) on a pro rata basis calculated based on the number of shares requested to be registered.
2.3     Selection of Underwriter(s), Etc. In any Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 that is not an Envista Public Sale, Danaher, in the event Danaher is participating, or the Holders of a majority of the outstanding Registrable Securities being included in the Underwritten Offering, in the event Danaher is not participating, shall select the underwriter(s), financial printer, solicitation and/or exchange agent (if any) and Holder’s counsel for such Underwritten Offering. In any Envista Public Sale, Envista shall select the underwriter(s), financial printer, solicitation and/or exchange agent (if any) and Danaher, in the event Danaher is participating, or the Holders of a majority of the

7


outstanding Registrable Securities being included in the Envista Public Sale, in the event Danaher is not participating, shall select counsel to the Holder(s).

Envista agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, each Holder, such Holder’s Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) such Persons from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (or actions in respect thereof, whether or not such indemnified party is a party thereto) and expenses, joint or several (including reasonable costs of investigation and legal expenses) (each, a “ Loss ” and collectively “ Losses ”) arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was Registered under the Securities Act (including any final or preliminary Prospectus contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein), or any such statement made in any free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that Envista has filed or is required to file pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or free writing prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; provided , however , that Envista shall not be liable to any particular indemnified party in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any such Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Envista by such indemnified party expressly for use in the preparation thereof. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability Envista may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder or any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder.
(b)     Indemnification by the Selling Holder . Each selling Holder agrees (severally and not jointly) to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, Envista, its directors, officers, employees, advisors, and agents and each Person who controls Envista (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) from and against any Losses arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was Registered under the Securities Act (including any final or preliminary Prospectus contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein), or any such statement made in any free writing prospectus that Envista has filed or is required to file pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to

12


make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or free writing prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but, in each case (i) or (ii), only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such selling Holder to Envista specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or free writing prospectus. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder under the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the selling Holder may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Envista or any indemnified party.
(c)     Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings . Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification ( provided that any delay or failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent that it is materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure) and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided , however , that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to select and employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim from the Person entitled to indemnification hereunder and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person, (iii) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iv) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person, based upon advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest may exist between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person). If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent, but such consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to settle such action without the consent of the indemnified party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No indemnifying party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time from all such indemnified party or parties unless (x) the employment of more than one counsel has been authorized in writing by the indemnified party or parties, (y) an indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the other indemnified parties or (z) a conflict or potential conflict exists or may exist (based on advice of counsel to an indemnified party) between such indemnified party and the other indemnified parties, in each of which cases the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels.
(d)     Contribution . If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Section 2.9(a) or Section 2.9(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless as contemplated by Section 2.9(a) or Section 2.9(b) , then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other hand. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged

13


untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.9(d) to the contrary, no indemnifying party (other than Envista) shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.9(d) to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such indemnifying party from the sale of Registrable Securities in the offering to which the Losses of the indemnified parties relate (before deducting expenses, if any) exceeds the amount of any damages which such indemnifying party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.9(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 2.9(d) . No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party hereunder shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 2.9(d) , any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding. If indemnification is available under this Section 2.9 , the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent provided in Section 2.9(a) and Section 2.9(b) hereof without regard to the relative fault of said indemnifying parties or indemnified party.
2.10     Reporting Requirements; Rule 144 . Envista shall be and remain in compliance with the periodic filing requirements imposed under the SEC’s rules and regulations, including the Exchange Act, and any other applicable laws or rules, and shall timely file such information, documents and reports as the SEC may require or prescribe under Section 13 or 15(d) (whichever is applicable) of the Exchange Act. If Envista is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder, make publicly available such necessary information for so long as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S under the Securities Act, and it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without Registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or (b) any rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. From and after the date hereof through the first anniversary of the date upon which no Holder owns any Registrable Securities, Envista shall forthwith upon request furnish any Holder (i) a written statement by Envista as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of Envista, and (iii) such other reports and documents filed by Envista with the SEC as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of an exemption for the sale of Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act.
2.11     Other Registration Rights . Envista shall not grant to any Persons the right to request Envista to Register any equity securities of Envista, or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities, whether pursuant to “demand,” “piggyback,” or other rights, unless such rights are subject and subordinate to the rights of the Holders under this Agreement.
ARTICLE III

(iv)    Without derogating from Section 3.4(c)(v) below, the Arbitral Tribunal shall have the full authority to grant any pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment, interim or conservatory measure or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings (“ Interim Relief ”).

16


date rendered. Judgment on the award rendered by the Arbitral Tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, including any court having jurisdiction over the relevant Party or its Assets.

In the case of a Director, “Years of Service” means consecutive years in which the Participant serves as a Director.
3. Eligibility . All Employees, Consultants, and Directors are eligible for Awards under this Plan. Eligible Employees, Consultants, and Directors become Optionees or Recipients when the Administrator grants them, respectively, an Option or one of the other Awards under this Plan.
4. Administration of the Plan .
(a) The Administrator . The Administrator of the Plan is the Compensation Committee of the Board, unless the Board specifies another committee. The Board may also act under the Plan as though it were the Administrator. The Administrator is responsible for the general operation and administration of the Plan and for carrying out its provisions and has full discretion in interpreting and administering the provisions of the Plan. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Administrator may exercise such powers and authority of the Board as the Administrator may find necessary or appropriate to carry out its functions. The Administrator may delegate its functions to Employees (other than the power to grant awards to Directors or Section 16 Persons), to the extent permitted under applicable Delaware corporate law.
(b) Rule 16b-3 Compliance . Awards to Section 16 Persons shall be made only by a Committee (or a subcommittee of the Committee) consisting solely of two or more non-employee Directors in accordance with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.
(c) Powers of the Administrator . The Administrator’s powers will include, but not be limited to, the power to: construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards granted pursuant to the Plan (including

4


the power to remedy any ambiguity, inconsistency, or omission); amend, waive, or extend any provision or limitation of any Award (except as expressly limited by the terms of the Plan), which shall include without limitation the power to accelerate or waive any vesting condition; in order to fulfill the purposes of the Plan and without amending the Plan, to vary the terms of or modify Awards to Participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside of the United States in order to recognize differences in local law, tax policies or customs; and to adopt such procedures as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the foregoing.
(d) Granting of Awards . Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Administrator will, in its sole discretion, determine the Optionees and the Recipients of other Awards and will determine either initially or subsequent to the grant of the relevant Award:
(i) the terms of such Awards;
(ii) the schedule for exercisability and nonforfeitability, including any requirements that the Participant or the Company satisfy performance criteria or Performance Objectives, and the acceleration or waiver of the exercisability or nonforfeitability of the Awards (for the avoidance of doubt, the Administrator shall have discretion to accelerate or waive the vesting of all or a portion of any performance-based vesting conditions or Performance Objectives);
(iii) the time and conditions for expiration of the Awards; and
(iv) the form of payment due upon exercise or grant of Awards.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, if a Participant changes classification from a full-time employee to a part-time employee, the Administrator may in its sole discretion (1) reduce or eliminate a Participant’s unvested Award or Awards, and/or (2) extend any vesting schedule to one or more dates within the period of the original term of the Award.
(e) Substitutions . The Administrator may also grant Awards in conversion or replacement of or substitution for options or other equity awards or interests held by individuals who become Employees of the Company or of an Eligible Subsidiary as a result of the Company’s acquiring or merging with the individual’s employer. If necessary to conform the Awards to the awards or interests for which they are substitutes, the Administrator may grant substitute Awards under terms and conditions that vary from those the Plan otherwise requires. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, any Award to any Participant who is a U.S. taxpayer will be adjusted appropriately pursuant to Code Section 409A.
(f) Repricing Prohibition . Other than as provided under Section 15 below and except in connection with a Substantial Corporate Change, merger, acquisition, spinoff, or other similar corporate transaction, the Administrator may not (1) reduce the Exercise Price of any outstanding Option or SAR, (2) cancel an outstanding Option or SAR in exchange for an Option or SAR with an Exercise Price that is less than the Exercise Price of the original Option or SAR, or (3) cancel an outstanding Option or SAR in exchange for cash or another Award at any time that the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock underlying the Option or SAR is less than the Exercise Price of such Option or SAR, unless in each case the Company’s shareholders have approved such action.
(g) Effect of Administrator’s Decision . The Administrator’s determinations under the Plan need not be uniform and need not consider whether actual or potential Participants are similarly situated. All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all holders of any Award.
(h) Time Limit for Participant Claims . Any claim under the Plan or any Award must be commenced by a Participant within twelve (12) months of the earliest date on which the Participant’s claim first arises, or the Participant’s cause of action accrues, or such claim will be deemed waived by the Participant.

5. Stock Subject to the Plan .
(a) Share Limits; Shares Available . Except as adjusted below in the event of a Substantial Corporate Change or as provided under Section 16, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan (including Conversion Awards) shall be [________] shares (the “Maximum Share Limit”). The Common Stock may come from treasury shares, authorized but unissued shares, or previously issued shares that the Company reacquires, including shares it purchases on the open market. Each share of Common Stock subject to an Award (including any Conversion Award) counts against the Maximum Share Limit as one share of Common Stock. If any Award (including any Conversion Award) expires, is canceled, forfeited, cash-settled, exchanged or assumed by a third party or terminates for any other reason, in each case without a distribution of shares of Common Stock to the Participant, each share of Common Stock available under that Award shall be added back to the Maximum Share Limit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shares of Common Stock shall not again become available for Awards or increase the number of shares available for grant under this Section 5(a): (1) shares of Common Stock tendered by the Participant or withheld by the Company in payment of the purchase price of an Option or SAR, (2) shares of Common Stock tendered by the Participant or withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation under this Plan, (3) shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Company with proceeds received from the exercise of an Option, and (4) shares of Common Stock subject to a SAR that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of that SAR upon its exercise. Shares of Common Stock issued to convert, replace or adjust outstanding options or other equity-compensation awards in connection with a merger or acquisition, as permitted by NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 303A.08 or any successor provision, shall not reduce the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan.
(b) Minimum Vesting Conditions . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, all Awards approved under the Plan (other than Cash-Based Awards) shall be subject to a vesting period or performance period, as applicable, of at least one year following the Date of Grant; provided, that with respect to Conversion Awards, any vesting that occurred prior to the Company IPO shall count toward this requirement; and provided further, that (1) up to five percent (5%) of the Maximum Share Limit under this Plan may be issued without regard to the foregoing minimum vesting period, (2) the foregoing minimum vesting period shall not apply in the event of death, Disability, Retirement or other terminations of employment or service, and (3) the Administrator may waive the restrictions set forth in this sentence in its sole discretion in the event of a Substantial Corporate Change.
(c) Stockholder Rights . Except for Restricted Stock Grants and except as the Administrator otherwise specifies (including without limitation in the terms of any Award agreement approved by the Administrator), the Participant will have no rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to an Award except to the extent that the Company has issued certificates for, or otherwise confirmed ownership of, such shares upon the exercise or, as applicable, the grant or nonforfeitability, of an Award. Except as the Administrator otherwise specifies (including without limitation in the terms of any Award agreement approved by the Administrator) or as contemplated under Section 16, no adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date precedes the date of exercise or nonforfeitability, as applicable.
(d) Fractional Shares . The Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise or vesting of an Award. Any fractional share will be rounded up and issued to the Participant in a whole share; provided that to the extent rounding a fractional share up would result in the imposition of either (i) individual tax and penalty interest charges imposed under Code Section 409A or (ii) adverse tax consequences to a Participant located outside of the United States, the fractional share will be rounded down without the payment of any consideration in respect of such fractional share.
(e) Director Limits . The maximum number of shares subject to Awards granted during a single fiscal year to any Director, taken together with such Director’s cash fees with respect to the fiscal year (whether such cash fees are paid currently or deferred under a Director deferred compensation plan, if any), shall

6


not exceed $700,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such Awards based on the grant date fair value of such Awards for financial reporting purposes).
(f) Dividends and Dividend Equivalents . The Recipient of an Award other than an Option or SAR may, if so determined by the Administrator, be entitled to receive cash, stock or other property dividends declared on shares of Common Stock, or amounts equivalent thereto (“Dividend Equivalents”), with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Award, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion and set forth in the applicable Award agreement.  The Administrator may provide that any Dividend Equivalents shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional shares of Common Stock or otherwise reinvested.  Any dividends or Dividend Equivalents with respect to any such Award shall be subject to the same restrictions and risks of forfeiture (including any service-based or performance-based vesting conditions) as the underlying Award. 
6. Terms and Conditions of Options .
(a) General . Options granted to Employees, Consultants, and Directors are not intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options. Subject to Section 4, the Administrator may set whatever conditions it considers appropriate for the Options, including time-based and/or performance-based vesting conditions.
(b) Exercise Price . The Administrator will determine the Exercise Price under each Option and may set the Exercise Price without regard to the Exercise Price of any other Options granted at the same or any other time. The Exercise Price per share for the Options may not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Date of Grant, except in the event of an Option substitution as contemplated by Section 4(e) above, or as provided under Section 16 below or in connection with the issuance of Conversion Awards. The Company may use the consideration it receives from the Optionee for general corporate purposes.
(c) Exercisability . The Administrator will determine the times and conditions for exercise of each Option but may not extend the period for exercise of an Option beyond the tenth anniversary of its Date of Grant. Options will become exercisable at such times and in such manner as the Administrator determines (either initially or subsequent to the grant of the relevant Award); provided, however, that the Administrator may, on such terms and conditions as it determines appropriate, accelerate the time at which the Optionee may exercise any portion of an Option.
(d) Method of Exercise; Method of Payment . To exercise any exercisable portion of an Option, the Optionee must:
(i) Deliver a written notice of exercise to the Secretary of the Company (or to whomever the Administrator designates), in a form complying with any rules the Administrator may issue and specifying the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the portion of the Option the Optionee is exercising;
(ii) Pay the full Exercise Price by cashier’s or certified check or wire transfer of immediately available funds for the shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised, unless the Administrator consents to another form of payment (which could include the use of Common Stock); and
(iii) Deliver to the Secretary of the Company (or to whomever the Administrator designates) such representations and documents as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may consider necessary or advisable.
Payment in full of the Exercise Price need not accompany the written notice of exercise provided the notice directs that the shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise be delivered, either in certificate form or in book entry form, to a licensed broker acceptable to the Company as the agent for the individual exercising the Option and at the time the shares are delivered to the broker, either in certificate form or in

7


book entry form, the broker will tender to the Company cash or cash equivalents acceptable to the Company and equal to the Exercise Price.
The Administrator may agree to payment under a cashless exercise program approved by the Company or through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Optionee (1) shall provide written instructions to a licensed broker acceptable to the Company and acting as agent for the Optionee to effect the immediate sale of some or all of the purchased Shares and to remit to the Company, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchased shares of Common Stock, and (2) shall provide written direction to the Company to deliver the purchased shares of Common Stock directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale transaction.
The Administrator may agree to payment through the tender to the Company of shares of Common Stock. Shares of Common Stock offered as payment will be valued, for purposes of determining the extent to which the Optionee has paid the Exercise Price, at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise.
(e) Term . No one may exercise an Option more than ten years after its Date of Grant.
(f) Automatic Exercise of Certain Expiring Options . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any Award agreement (other than this Section), on the last trading day on which all or a portion of an outstanding Option may be exercised, if as of the close of trading on such day the then Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock exceeds the per share Exercise Price of the Option by at least $.01 (such expiring portion of an Option that is so in-the-money, an “Auto-Exercise Eligible Option”), the Optionee shall be deemed to have automatically exercised such Auto-Exercise Eligible Option (to the extent it has not previously been exercised, forfeited or terminated) as of the close of trading in accordance with the provisions of this Section. In the event of an automatic exercise pursuant to this Section, the Company shall reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issued to the Optionee upon such Optionee’s automatic exercise of the Auto-Exercise Eligible Option in an amount necessary to satisfy (1) the Optionee’s Exercise Price obligation for the Auto-Exercise Eligible Option, and (2) the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld in connection with the automatic exercise (or such other rate that will not cause adverse accounting consequences for the Company) unless the Administrator deems that a different method of satisfying such withholding obligations is practicable and advisable, in each case based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the close of trading on the date of exercise. In accordance with procedures established by the Administrator, an Optionee may notify the Company’s record-keeper in writing in advance that he or she does not wish for the Auto-Exercise Eligible Option to be exercised. This Section shall not apply to any Option to the extent that this Section causes the Option to fail to qualify for favorable tax treatment under applicable law. In its discretion, the Company may determine to cease automatically exercising Options at any time.
7. Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights .
(a) General . A SAR represents the right to receive a payment, in cash, shares of Common Stock or both (as determined by the Administrator), equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value on the date the SAR is exercised over the SAR’s Exercise Price, if any.
(b) Exercise Price . Subject to Section 4, the Administrator will establish in its sole discretion the Exercise Price of a SAR and all other applicable terms and conditions, including time-based and/or performance-based vesting conditions. The Exercise Price for the SAR may not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Date of Grant, except in the event of a SAR substitution as contemplated by Section 4(e) above, or as provided under Section 16 below.
(c) Exercisability . The Administrator will determine the times and conditions for exercise of each SAR but may not extend the period for exercise of a SAR beyond the tenth anniversary of its Date of Grant. SARs will become exercisable at such times and in such manner as the Administrator determines (either initially or subsequent to the grant of the relevant Award); provided, however, that the

8


Administrator may, on such terms and conditions as it determines appropriate, accelerate the time at which the Participant may exercise any portion of a SAR.
(d) Term . No one may exercise a SAR more than ten years after its Date of Grant.
8. Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Grants .
(a) General . A Restricted Stock Grant is a direct grant of Common Stock, subject to restrictions and vesting conditions, including time-based vesting conditions and/or the attainment of performance-based vesting conditions or Performance Objectives. The Company shall issue the shares to each Recipient of a Restricted Stock Grant either (i) in certificate form or (ii) in book entry form, registered in the name of the Recipient, with legends or notations, as applicable, referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to the Award; provided that the Company may require that any stock certificates evidencing Restricted Stock Grants be held in the custody of the Company or its agent until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and that, as a condition of any Restricted Stock Grant, the Participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the shares of Common Stock covered by such Award.
(b) Purchase Price . The Administrator may satisfy any Delaware corporate law requirements regarding adequate consideration for Restricted Stock Grants by (i) issuing Common Stock held as treasury stock or repurchased on the open market or (ii) charging the Recipients at least the par value for the shares of Common Stock covered by the Restricted Stock Grant.
(c) Lapse of Restrictions . The shares of Common Stock underlying such Restricted Stock Grants will become nonforfeitable at such times and in such manner as the Administrator determines (either initially or subsequent to the grant of the relevant Award); provided, however, the Administrator may, on such terms and conditions as it determines appropriate, accelerate the time at which restrictions or other conditions on such Restricted Stock Grants will lapse. Unless otherwise specified by the Administrator or by the Committee described in Section 4(b) of the Plan, any performance-based vesting conditions or Performance Objectives must be satisfied, if at all, on or prior to the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant.
(d) Rights as a Stockholder . A Recipient who is awarded a Restricted Stock Grant under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the Company’s other stockholders. After the lapse of the restrictions without forfeiture in respect of the Restricted Stock Grant, the Company shall remove any legends or notations referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions on such shares of Common Stock and, if certificated, deliver to the Participant the certificate or certificates evidencing the number of such shares of Common Stock.
9. Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Units .
(a) General . RSUs shall be credited as a bookkeeping entry in the name of the Participant in an account maintained by the Company. No shares of Common Stock are actually issued to the Participant in respect of RSUs on the Date of Grant. Shares of Common Stock shall be issuable to the Participant only upon the lapse of such restrictions and satisfaction of such vesting conditions, including time-based vesting conditions and/or the attainment of performance-based vesting conditions or Performance Objectives.
(b) Purchase Price . The Administrator may satisfy any Delaware corporate law requirements regarding adequate consideration for RSUs by (i) issuing Common Stock held as treasury stock or repurchased on the open market or (ii) charging the Recipients at least the par value for the shares of Common Stock covered by the RSUs.
(c) Lapse of Restrictions . RSUs will vest and the underlying shares of Common Stock will become nonforfeitable at such times and in such manner as the Administrator determines (either initially or subsequent to the grant of the relevant Award); provided, however, that the Administrator may, on such

9


terms and conditions as it determines appropriate, accelerate the time at which restrictions or other conditions on such RSUs will lapse. Unless otherwise specified by the Administrator, any performance-based vesting conditions or Performance Objectives must be satisfied, if at all, on or prior to the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant.
(d) Rights as a Stockholder . Except as the Administrator otherwise specifies (including without limitation in the terms of any Award agreement approved by the Administrator), a Recipient who is awarded RSUs under the Plan shall possess no incidents of ownership with respect to the underlying shares of Common Stock.
(e) Post-Vesting Holding Period for Performance Stock Units . Unless the Administrator determines otherwise prior to the grant of the relevant Award, and except as otherwise provided in Section 12 below, payment of any Performance Stock Unit (including those subject to the Normal and Early Retirement provisions of Section 12) that vests pursuant to its terms shall be deferred until the fifth anniversary (the “Fifth Anniversary”) of the beginning of the Performance Period applicable to such Performance Stock Unit (the “Commencement Date”); provided, however, if such payment date would subject the Participant to liability under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, any such deferred payment shall be made on a date selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion which may be as early as thirty (30) days prior to the Fifth Anniversary or at a later date within the same calendar year or, if later, by the 15th day of the third calendar month following the Fifth Anniversary.
10. Terms and Conditions of Other Stock-Based Awards and Cash-Based Awards .
(a) The Administrator may grant Other Stock-Based Awards that are denominated in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Common Stock. The purchase, exercise, exchange or conversion of Other Stock-Based Awards and all other terms and conditions applicable to such Awards will be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
(b) The Administrator may grant Cash-Based Awards, each of which may be expressed in dollars or may be based on a formula that is consistent with the provisions of the Plan. The terms and conditions applicable to Cash-Based Awards will be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
11. Converted Danaher Awards . The Company is authorized to issue Awards (“Conversion Awards”) in connection with the replacement of certain equity-based awards granted by Danaher prior to the Company’s initial public offering (the “Company IPO”) (collectively, the “Danaher Awards”). Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in accordance with a formula for replacement of the Danaher Awards as determined by the Company in a manner consistent with the Separation, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to a Conversion Award and the exercise price of any Conversion Awards that is an Option shall be determined by the Administrator.
12. Termination of Employment . Unless the Administrator determines otherwise (either initially or subsequent to the grant of the relevant Award), the following rules shall govern the vesting, exercisability and term of outstanding Awards held by a Participant in the event of termination of such Participant’s employment, where termination of employment means the time when the active employer-employee or other active service-providing relationship between the Participant and the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary ends for any reason, including Retirement; provided that notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, this Section 12 shall not apply to Cash-Based Awards and any reference in this Section 12 to an “Award” shall be deemed to be a reference to all Awards other than Cash-Based Awards. For purposes of Awards granted under this Plan, the Administrator shall have sole discretion to determine whether a Participant has ceased to be actively employed by (or, in the case of a Consultant or Director, has ceased actively providing services to) the Company or Eligible Subsidiary, and the effective date on which such active employment (or active service-providing relationship) terminated. For the avoidance of doubt, a Participant’s active employer-employee or other active service-providing relationship shall not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment shall not include a period of “garden leave”, paid

10


administrative leave or similar period pursuant to local law), and in the event of a Participant’s termination of employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), Participant’s right to exercise any Option or SAR after termination of employment, if any, shall be measured by the date of termination of active employment or service and shall not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise (either initially or subsequent to the grant of the relevant Award) (1) termination of employment will include instances in which a common law employee is terminated and immediately rehired as an independent contractor, and (2) the spin-off, sale, or disposition of a Participant’s employer from the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary (whether by transfer of shares, assets or otherwise) such that the Participant’s employer no longer constitutes an Eligible Subsidiary shall constitute a termination of employment or service.
(a) General . Upon termination of employment for any reason other than death, Early Retirement or (except with respect to any Conversion Award that is an RSU and that was originally granted prior to the Retirement Provision Transition Date) Normal Retirement, unless contrary to applicable law and unless otherwise provided by the Administrator either initially or subsequent to the grant of the relevant Award, all unvested portions of any outstanding Awards shall be immediately forfeited without consideration. Except as set forth in subsections (b) - (i) below, the Participant shall have a period of ninety (90) days, commencing with the first date the Participant is no longer actively employed, to exercise the vested portion of any outstanding Options or SARs, subject to the term of the Option or SAR; provided, however, that if the exercise of an Option or SAR following termination of employment (to the extent such post-termination exercise is permitted under this Section 12(a)) is not covered by an effective registration statement on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, then the Option or SAR shall terminate upon the later of (1) thirty (30) days after such exercise becomes covered by an effective registration statement, (2) in the event that a sale of shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of an Option or SAR would subject the Participant to liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, thirty (30) days after the last date on which such sale would result in liability, or (3) the end of the original post-termination exercise period; provided, however, that in no event may an Option or SAR be exercised after the expiration of the term of the Award.
(b) Normal Retirement . Upon termination of employment by reason of the Participant’s Normal Retirement, unless contrary to applicable law and unless otherwise provided by the Administrator either initially or subsequent to the grant of the relevant Award (1) with respect to all Options or SARs held by the Participant for at least six (6) months prior to the Normal Retirement date, subject to the term of the Award unvested Options will continue to vest and, together with any Options that are vested as of the Optionee’s Normal Retirement date, shall remain outstanding and (once vested) may be exercised until the fifth anniversary of the Normal Retirement date (or if earlier, the expiration date of the Option), (2) with respect to each Tranche of RSUs (other than PSUs and any Conversion Award that is an RSU and was originally granted prior to the Retirement Provision Transition Date) that is unvested as of the Normal Retirement date, such Tranche will vest as of the time-based vesting date for such Tranche, but if and only if any Performance Objective applicable to such Tranche is satisfied on or prior to such time-based vesting date, (3) a pro-rata portion of unvested Performance Stock Units held by the Participant as of the Normal Retirement date (i.e. based on the ratio of (x) the number of full or partial months worked by the Participant in the applicable Performance Period prior to the Participant’s Normal Retirement date to (y) the total number of months in the applicable Performance Period) shall continue to vest subject to actual performance to be measured as of the end of the Performance Period, and (4) all unvested portions of any other outstanding Awards (including without limitation Restricted Stock Grants) shall be immediately forfeited without consideration. If the Date of Grant of an Option does not precede the Optionee’s Normal Retirement date by at least six (6) months, the post-termination exercise period with respect to such Option shall be governed by the other provisions of this Section 12, as applicable.
(c) Early Retirement . Solely with respect to Awards other than any Conversion Awards that were originally granted prior to the Retirement Provision Transition Date, upon termination of employment by reason of the Participant’s Early Retirement, unless contrary to applicable law and unless otherwise provided by the Administrator either initially or subsequent to the grant of the relevant Award (1) subject

11


to the term of the Award a pro-rata portion of any Tranche of unvested Options or SARs held by the Participant for at least six (6) months prior to the Early Retirement date (i.e. based on the ratio of (x) the number of full or partial months worked by the Participant from the Date of Grant to the Early Retirement date to (y) the total number of months in the original time-based vesting schedule of the particular Tranche) will continue to vest and, together with any Options and SARs that are vested as of the Participant’s Early Retirement, shall remain outstanding and (once vested) may be exercised until the fifth anniversary of the Early Retirement date (or if earlier, the expiration date of the Award), (2) a pro-rata portion of any Tranche of RSUs (other than PSUs) that is unvested as of the Early Retirement date (i.e. based on the ratio of (x) the number of full or partial months worked by the Participant from the Date of Grant to the Early Retirement date to (y) the total number of months in the original time-based vesting schedule of the Tranche) will vest as of the time-based vesting date for such Tranche, but if and only if any Performance Objective applicable to such Tranche is satisfied on or prior to such time-based vesting date, (3) a pro-rata portion of the unvested Performance Stock Units held by the Participant as of the Early Retirement date (i.e. based on the ratio of (x) the number of full or partial months worked by the Participant in the applicable Performance Period prior to the Participant’s Early Retirement date to (y) the total number of months in the applicable Performance Period) shall continue to vest subject to actual performance to be measured as of the end of the Performance Period, and (4) all unvested portions of any other outstanding Awards (including without limitation Restricted Stock Grants) shall be immediately forfeited without consideration. If the Date of Grant of an Option does not precede the Optionee’s Early Retirement date by at least six (6) months, the post-termination exercise period with respect to such Option shall be governed by the other provisions of this Section 12, as applicable.
(d) Other Conditions Applicable to Continued Vesting Upon Retirement . To be eligible for the Retirement treatment described above, if required by the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary the Participant must execute the appropriate form of Company post-employment restrictive covenant agreement.
(e) Death .
(i) Options/SARs . Upon termination of employment by reason of the Participant’s death, unless contrary to applicable law and unless otherwise provided by the Administrator either initially or subsequent to the grant of the relevant Award, all unexpired Options and SARs will become fully exercisable and, subject to the term of the Option or SAR, may be exercised for a period of twelve months thereafter by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate or any other person to whom the Option or SAR is transferred under a will or under the applicable laws of descent and distribution.
(ii) RSUs (Other Than PSUs) and Restricted Stock . Upon termination of employment by reason of the Participant’s death, unless contrary to applicable law and unless otherwise provided by the Administrator either initially or subsequent to the grant of the relevant Award, a portion of the outstanding RSUs (other than PSUs) and Restricted Stock Grants shall become vested which will be determined as follows. With respect to each Tranche, upon the Participant’s death, a pro rata amount of the RSUs (other than PSUs) or the Restricted Stock Grant will vest based on the number of complete twelve-month periods between the Date of Grant and the date of death (provided that any partial twelve-month period between the Date of Grant and the date of death shall also be considered a complete twelve-month period for purposes of this pro-ration methodology), divided by the total number of twelve-month periods in the original time-based vesting schedule of the Tranche.
(iii) PSUs .
(1) Upon termination of employment by reason of the Participant’s death prior to the conclusion of the Performance Period applicable to an award of PSUs, unless contrary to applicable law and unless otherwise provided by the Administrator either initially or subsequent to the grant of the relevant Award, the Participant’s estate will become vested in the portion of the Award determined by multiplying (1) the target amount of PSUs (and related Dividend Equivalent rights) subject to such Award, times (2) the quotient of the number of complete twelve-month periods between and including the

12


Commencement Date and the date of death (provided that any partial twelve-month period between and including the Commencement Date and the date of death shall also be considered a complete twelve-month period for purposes of this pro-ration methodology), divided by the total number of twelve-month periods in the Performance Period. With respect to any PSUs that vest pursuant to this Section, the underlying Common Stock (and related Dividend Equivalent rights) will be paid to the Participant’s estate as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within 90 days) following Participant’s death.
(2) Upon termination of employment by reason of the Participant’s death following the conclusion of the Performance Period but prior to the date the Common Stock (and related Dividend Equivalent rights) underlying vested PSUs are issued and paid, unless contrary to applicable law and unless otherwise provided by the Administrator either initially or subsequent to the grant of the relevant Award, the underlying Common Stock (and related Dividend Equivalent rights) will be paid to the Participant’s estate as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within 90 days) following the later of (i) Participant’s death, and (ii) four (4) calendar months following the last day of the Performance Period.
(3) For avoidance of doubt, in all other situations, if a Participant dies after the Participant’s employment terminates but prior to the date the Common Stock (and related Dividend Equivalent rights) underlying vested PSUs are issued and paid, the underlying Common Stock (and related Dividend Equivalent rights) will be paid to Participant’s estate as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within 90 days) following the fifth anniversary of the Commencement Date.
(iv) With respect to any Award other than an Option, SAR, RSU or Restricted Stock Grant, all unvested portions of the Award shall be immediately forfeited without consideration, unless otherwise provided by the Administrator.
(f) Disability . Upon termination of employment by reason of the Participant’s Disability, unless contrary to applicable law and unless otherwise provided by the Administrator either initially or subsequent to the grant of the relevant Award, all unvested portions of any outstanding Awards shall be immediately forfeited without consideration. The vested portion of any Option or SAR will remain outstanding and, subject to the term of the Option or SAR, may be exercised by the Participant at any time until the first anniversary of the Participant’s termination of employment for Disability.
(g) Gross Misconduct . Upon termination of employment by reason of the Participant’s Gross Misconduct as determined by the Administrator, the Administrator in its sole discretion may provide that all, or any portion specified by the Administrator, of the Participant’s (1) unexercised Options and SARs, (2) unvested RSUs, (3) unvested Restricted Stock Grants and (4) unvested Other Stock-Based Awards and Cash-Based Awards granted under the Plan, shall terminate and be forfeited immediately without consideration. Without limiting the foregoing provision, a Participant’s termination of employment shall be deemed to be a termination of employment by reason of the Participant’s Gross Misconduct if, after the Participant’s employment has terminated, facts and circumstances are discovered or confirmed that would have justified a termination for Gross Misconduct.
(h) Post-Termination Covenants . Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, to the extent any Award may remain outstanding under the terms of the Plan after termination of the Participant’s employment or service-providing relationship, the Award will nevertheless expire as of the date that the Participant violates any covenant not to compete or any other post-termination covenant (including without limitation any nonsolicitation, nonpiracy of employees, nondisclosure, nondisparagement, works-made-for-hire or similar covenants) in effect between the Company and/or any Subsidiary thereof, on the one hand, and the Participant on the other hand, as determined by the Administrator.
(i) Leave of Absence . To the extent approved by the Administrator (either specifically or pursuant to rules adopted by the Administrator), the active employer-employee or other active service-providing relationship between the Participant and the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary shall not be considered interrupted in the case of: (i) sick leave; (ii) military leave; or (iii) any other leave of absence. For the

13


avoidance of doubt, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine that a Participant’s leave of absence to complete a course of study will not constitute termination of employment for purposes of the Plan. Further, during any approved leave of absence, the Administrator shall have sole discretion to provide (either specifically or pursuant to rules adopted by the Administrator) that the vesting of any Awards held by the Participant shall be frozen as of the first day of the leave (or as of any subsequent day during such leave, as applicable), and shall not resume until and unless the Participant returns to active employment or service prior to the expiration of the term (if any) of the Awards, subject to any requirements of applicable laws or contract. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine all questions of whether particular terminations or leaves of absence are terminations of active employment or service.
13. Award Agreements . The Administrator will communicate the material terms and conditions of an Award to the Participant in any form it deems appropriate, which may include the use of an Award agreement that the Administrator may require the Participant to sign. In the discretion of the Administrator an Award agreement and any provision for acceptance of an Award may be made in electronic format. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Award agreements may contain special provisions for Participants located outside the United States and any Award agreement provision that modifies the Plan terms and conditions with respect to an Award granted to an Employee outside the United States shall govern. To the extent the Administrator determines not to document the terms and conditions of an Award in an Award agreement, the terms and conditions of the Award shall be as set forth in the Plan and in the Administrator’s records.
14. Award Holder . During the Participant’s lifetime and except as provided under Section 22 below, only the Participant or his/her duly appointed guardian may exercise or hold an Award. After the Participant’s death, the personal representative of his or her estate or any other person authorized under a will or under the laws of descent and distribution may exercise any then exercisable portion of an Award or hold any then nonforfeitable portion of any Award. If someone other than the original Participant seeks to exercise or hold any portion of an Award, the Administrator may request such proof as it may consider necessary or appropriate of the person’s right to exercise or hold the Award.
15. Performance Rules . Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee will have the authority to establish and administer performance-based grant and/or vesting conditions and Performance Objectives with respect to such Awards as it considers appropriate, which Performance Objectives must be satisfied, as determined by the Committee, before the Participant receives or retains an Award or before the Award becomes nonforfeitable. Notwithstanding satisfaction of applicable Performance Objectives, the number of shares of Common Stock, the amount of cash or the other benefits received under an Award that are otherwise earned upon satisfaction of such Performance Objectives may be adjusted by the Committee on the basis of such further considerations that the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine.
16. Adjustments upon Changes in Capital Stock . Subject to any required action by the Company (which it shall promptly take) or its stockholders, and subject to the provisions of applicable corporate law, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock increase or decrease or change into or are exchanged for a different number or kind of security by reason of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares, exchange of shares, stock dividend, or other distribution payable in capital stock, or some other increase or decrease in the Common Stock occurs without the Company’s receiving consideration, the Administrator shall make an equitable adjustment as the Administrator in its sole discretion deems to be appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan to: (a) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock, other securities or property underlying, or the amount of cash subject to, each outstanding Award; (b) the Exercise Price or purchase price of any outstanding Award and applicable performance conditions relating to any outstanding Award; and (c) the Maximum Share Limit.
In the event of a declaration of an extraordinary dividend on the Common Stock payable in a form other than Common Stock in an amount that has a material effect on the price of the Common Stock, the Administrator shall make an equitable adjustment as the Administrator in its sole discretion deems to be

14


appropriate to the items set forth in any of subsections (a) - (d) in the preceding paragraph in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan.
Any issue by the Company of any class of preferred stock, or securities convertible into shares of common or preferred stock of any class, will not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof will be made with respect to, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to any Award or the Exercise Price except as this Section 16 specifically provides. The grant of an Award under the Plan will not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, or to merge or to consolidate, or to dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
17. Substantial Corporate Change .
(a) Definition . A Substantial Corporate Change means the consummation of:
(i) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company;
(ii) any transaction or series of transactions in which any person or entity or group of persons or entities is or becomes the owner, directly or indirectly, of voting securities of the Company (not including any securities acquired directly from the Company or any affiliate thereof) representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities;
(iii) a change in the composition of the Board such that individuals who were serving on the Board as of immediately following the completion of the Company’s initial public offering, together with any new member of the Board (other than a member of the Board whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest, including but not limited to a consent solicitation, relating to the election of directors of the Company) whose appointment or election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved or recommended by a vote of at least a majority of the members of the Board then still in office who either were members of the Board immediately following the Company IPO or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so approved or recommended, cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the number of the members of the Board then serving;
(iv) a merger, consolidation, or reorganization of the Company with one or more corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships or other entities, other than a merger, consolidation or reorganization which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such event continuing to have both (A) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the ultimate parent entity resulting from such merger, consolidation, or reorganization (and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company voting securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to such transaction), and (B) the power to elect at least a majority of the board of directors or other governing body of the ultimate parent entity resulting from such merger, consolidation, or reorganization; or
(v) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another person or entity.
For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Company IPO, the separation of the Company from Danaher (the “Separation”) nor any further disposition of any or all of Danaher’s ownership interests in the Company will constitute a Substantial Corporate Change.
(b) Treatment of Awards . Upon a Substantial Corporate Change, either (1) the Board will provide for the assumption or continuation of outstanding Awards, or the substitution for such Awards of any options or grants covering the stock or securities of a successor employer corporation, or a parent or subsidiary of such successor, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares of stock and prices, in which event such Awards will continue in the manner and under the terms so provided, or (2) if any

15


outstanding such Award is not so assumed, continued or substituted for, then any forfeitable portions of the Awards will terminate and the Administrator in its sole discretion may:
(i) provide that Optionees or holders of SARs will have the right, at such time before the consummation of the transaction causing such termination as the Board reasonably designates, to exercise any unexercised portions of an Option or SAR, whether or not they had previously become exercisable; and/or
(ii) for any Awards, cause the Company, or agree to allow the successor, to cancel each Award after payment to the Participant of (A) an amount in cash, cash equivalents, or successor equity interests substantially equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award as determined by reference to the transaction (minus, for Options and SARs, the Exercise Price for the shares covered by the Option or SAR (and for any Awards, where the Board or the Administrator determines it is appropriate, any required tax withholdings)), or (B) an amount in cash or cash equivalents equal to the cash value of the Award with respect to Cash-Based Awards.
The Administrator shall determine in its discretion the impact, if any, of the Substantial Corporate Change upon any performance conditions otherwise applicable to an Award.
18. Employees Outside the United States . To comply with the laws in other countries in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries operates or has Employees, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to:
(a) determine which Subsidiaries shall be covered by the Plan;
(b) determine which Employees outside the United States are eligible to participate in the Plan;
(c) either initially or by amendment, modify the terms and conditions of any Award granted to any Employee outside the United States;
(d) either initially or by amendment, establish sub-plans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable; and
(e) either initially or by amendment, take any action that it deems advisable to obtain approval or comply with any applicable government regulatory exemptions or approvals.
Although in establishing such sub-plans, terms or procedures, the Company may endeavor to (i) qualify an Award for favorable foreign tax treatment or (ii) avoid adverse tax treatment, the Company makes no representation to that effect and expressly disavows any covenant to maintain favorable or avoid unfavorable tax treatment. The Company shall be unconstrained in its corporate activities without regard to the potential negative tax impact on holders of Awards under the Plan.
19. Legal Compliance . The granting of Awards, the issuance of shares of Common Stock and the payment of cash under the Plan shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements imposed by federal, state, local and foreign securities laws and other laws, rules, and regulations, and by any applicable regulatory agencies or stock exchanges. The Company shall have no obligation to pay cash, issue shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan or deliver evidence of title for shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan prior to obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company determines are necessary, and completion of any registration or other qualification of the shares of Common Stock under any applicable national or foreign law or ruling of any governmental body that the Company determines to be necessary. To that end, the Company may require the Participant to take any reasonable action to comply with such requirements before issuing such shares of Common Stock or paying cash. No provision in the Plan or action taken under it authorizes any action that is otherwise prohibited by federal, state, local or foreign laws, rules, or regulations, or by any applicable regulatory agencies or stock exchanges.

16


The Plan is intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and all regulations and rules the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issues under those laws. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Administrator must administer the Plan, and Awards may be granted, vested and exercised, only in a way that conforms to such laws, rules, and regulations.
20. Purchase for Investment and Other Restrictions . Unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covers the shares of Common Stock a Participant receives under an Award, the Administrator may require, at the time of such grant and/or exercise and/or lapse of restrictions, that the Participant agree in writing to acquire such shares for investment and not for public resale or distribution, unless and until the shares subject to the Award are registered under the Securities Act. Unless the shares of Common Stock are registered under the Securities Act, the Participant must acknowledge:
(a) that the shares of Common Stock received under the Award are not so registered;
(b) that the Participant may not sell or otherwise transfer the shares of Common Stock unless the shares have been registered under the Securities Act in connection with the sale or transfer thereof, or counsel satisfactory to the Company has issued an opinion satisfactory to the Company that the sale or other transfer of such shares is exempt from registration under the Securities Act; and
(c) such sale or transfer complies with all other applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including all applicable federal, state, local and foreign securities laws, rules and regulations.
Additionally, the Common Stock, when issued under an Award, will be subject to any other transfer restrictions, rights of first refusal, and rights of repurchase set forth in or incorporated by reference into other applicable documents, including the Company’s articles or certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or generally applicable stockholders’ agreements.
The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, take whatever additional actions it deems appropriate to comply with such restrictions and applicable laws, including placing legends on certificates and issuing stop-transfer orders to transfer agents and registrars.
21. Tax Withholding . Each Participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award first becomes includible in the gross income of the Participant for purposes of applicable taxes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, all applicable taxes required by applicable law to be withheld with respect to the Award.  The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on the making of such payments or arrangements, and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant.  Whenever cash is to be paid pursuant to an Award, the Company shall have the right to deduct therefrom an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable withholding tax requirements related thereto.  Whenever shares of Common Stock are to be delivered pursuant to an Award, the Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any applicable withholding requirements related thereto.  With the approval of the Administrator, a Participant may satisfy the foregoing requirement by either (i) electing to have the Company withhold from delivery of shares of Common Stock or (ii) delivering already owned unrestricted shares of Common Stock, in each case, having a value equal to the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld (or such other rate that will not cause adverse accounting consequences for the Company).  Any such shares of Common Stock shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date as of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined.  Such an election may be made with respect to all or any portion of the shares of Common Stock to be delivered pursuant to an Award.  The Company may also use any other method of obtaining the necessary payment or proceeds, as permitted by applicable law, to satisfy its withholding obligation with respect to any Award.
22. Transfers, Assignments or Pledges . Unless the Administrator otherwise approves in advance in writing or as set forth below, an Award may not be assigned, pledged, or otherwise transferred in any way, whether by operation of law or otherwise or through any legal or equitable proceedings (including

17


bankruptcy), by the Participant to any person, except by will or by operation of applicable laws of descent and distribution. If necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, the Participant may not transfer or pledge shares of Common Stock acquired under an Award until at least six months have elapsed from (but excluding) the Date of Grant, unless the Administrator approves otherwise in advance in writing. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, expressly provide that a Participant may transfer his or her Award (other than a Cash-Based Award), without receiving consideration, to (a) members of the Participant’s immediate family, children, grandchildren, or spouse, (b) a trust in which the Participant and/or such family members collectively have more than 50% of the beneficial interest, or (c) any other entity in which the Participant and/or such family members own more than 50% of the voting interests.
23. Amendment or Termination of Plan and Awards . The Board may amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time, without the consent of the Participants or their beneficiaries; provided, however, that no amendment may have a material adverse effect on any Participant or beneficiary with respect to any previously declared Award, unless the Participant’s or beneficiary’s consent is obtained. Except as required by law or by Section 17 above in the event of a Substantial Corporate Change, the Administrator may not, without the Participant’s or beneficiary’s consent, modify the terms and conditions of an Award so as to have a material adverse effect on the Participant or beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Board reserves the right, to the extent it deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally modify the Plan and any Awards made thereunder to ensure all Awards and Award agreements provided to Participants who are U.S. taxpayers are made in such a manner that either qualifies for exemption from or complies with Code Section 409A including, but not limited to, the ability to increase the exercise or purchase price of an Award (without the consent of the Participant) to the Fair Market Value on the date the Award was granted; provided, however that the Company makes no representations that the Plan or any Awards will be exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Code Section 409A from applying to the Plan or any Award made thereunder.
24. Privileges of Stock Ownership . No Participant and no beneficiary or other person claiming under or through such Participant will have any right, title, or interest in or to any shares of Common Stock allocated or reserved under the Plan or subject to any Award except as to such shares of Common Stock, if any, that have been issued to such Participant.
25. Effect on Other Plans . None of the grant, vesting, exercise or payment of any Award under this Plan shall constitute compensation or otherwise result in the accrual or receipt of additional payments or benefits under any pension, bonus, severance, or other plan, program, agreement or arrangement maintained or contributed to by the Company, its Subsidiaries or any affiliates unless such other plan, program, agreement or arrangement expressly and unambiguously so provides in a writing executed by a duly authorized representative of the Company.
26. Limitations on Liability . Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no individual acting as a director, employee, or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates (including, without limitation, Danaher) shall be liable to any Participant, former Participant, spouse, beneficiary, or any other person or entity for any claim, loss, liability, or expense incurred in connection with the Plan, nor shall such individual be personally liable because of any contract or other instrument he or she executes in such other capacity. No member of the Board or of the Committee will be liable for any action or determination (including, but limited to, any decision not to act) made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award under the Plan. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Director, Employee, or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan has been or will be delegated, against any cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the Board’s approval) arising out of any act or omission to act concerning this Plan unless arising out of such person’s own fraud or bad faith.
27. No Employment Contract . Nothing contained in this Plan constitutes an employment contract between the Company and any Participant. The Plan does not give any Participant any right to be retained

18


in the Company’s employ, nor does it enlarge or diminish the Company’s right to terminate the Participant’s employment.
28. Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial . The laws of the State of Delaware (other than its choice of law provisions) govern this Plan and its interpretation. Any dispute that arises with respect to this Plan or any Award granted under this Plan shall be conducted in the courts of New Castle County in the State of Delaware, or the United States Federal court for the District of Delaware, and no other courts; and each Participant waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that the laying of the venue of any legal or equitable proceedings related to, concerning or arising from such dispute which is brought in any such court is improper or that such proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum. IN ADDITION, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTICIPANT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING WITH RESPECT TO THIS PLAN OR ANY AWARD GRANTED UNDER THIS PLAN.
29. Duration of Plan . The Plan shall become effective upon its approval by Company shareholders and except as otherwise expressly provided herein or by the Administrator shall govern all Awards previously or subsequently granted hereunder. Unless the Board extends the Plan’s term, the Administrator may not grant Awards under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the date the Plan was approved by the Company shareholders. The Plan will then continue to govern unexercised and unexpired Awards.
30. Recoupment . Any Award granted under the Plan is subject to the terms of the Envista Holdings Corporation Recoupment Policy in the form approved by the Compensation Committee of Envista Holdings Corporation’s Board of Directors from time to time (including any successor thereto) and to the terms required by applicable law.
31. Section 409A Requirements . The Plan as well as payments and benefits under the Plan are intended to be exempt from or, to the extent subject thereto, to comply with, Code Section 409A, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted in accordance therewith. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A, a Participant shall not be considered to have terminated employment or service with the Company for purposes of the Plan and no payment shall be due to the Participant under the Plan or any Award until the Participant would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company and its affiliates within the meaning of Code Section 409A. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the “short-term deferral period” as defined in Code Section 409A shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent that any Awards (or any other amounts payable under any plan, program or arrangement of the Company or any of its affiliates) are payable upon a separation from service and such payment would result in the imposition of any individual tax and penalty interest charges imposed under Code Section 409A, the settlement and payment of such awards (or other amounts) shall instead be made on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following such separation from service (or death, if earlier). Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under this Plan shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Code Section 409A. The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments or benefits described in this Plan will be exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Code Section 409A from applying to any such payment. The Participant shall be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes and penalties incurred under Code Section 409A.

II.     AGREEMENT
1.     Grant of Option . The Company hereby grants to the Optionee named in this Grant Notice (the “Optionee”), an option (the “Option” or the “Options” as the case may be) to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) set forth in the Grant Notice, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Exercise Price”), and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference.
2.     Vesting .
(a) Vesting Schedule . Except as may otherwise be set forth in this Agreement or in the Plan, Options awarded to the Optionee shall not vest until the Optionee continues to be actively employed with the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary for the periods required to satisfy the time-based vesting criteria (“Time-Based Vesting Criteria”) applicable to such Options. The Time-Based Vesting Criteria applicable to an Option are referred to as “Vesting Conditions,” and the earliest date upon which all Vesting Conditions are satisfied is referred to as the “Vesting Date.” The Vesting Conditions for an Option received by the Optionee are established by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors (or by one or more members of Company management, if such power has been delegated in accordance with the Plan and applicable law) and reflected in the account maintained for the Optionee by an external third party administrator of the Options. Further, during any approved leave of absence (and without limiting the application of any other rules governing leaves of absence that the Committee may approve from time to time pursuant to the Plan), to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee shall have discretion to provide that the vesting of the Options shall be frozen as of the first day of the leave (or as of any subsequent day during such leave, as applicable) and shall not resume until and unless the Optionee returns to active employment prior to the Expiration Date of the Options.
(b) Fractional Shares . The Company will not issue fractional Shares upon the exercise of an Option. Any fractional Share will be rounded up and issued to the Optionee in a whole Share; provided that to the extent rounding a fractional Share up would result in the imposition of either (i) individual tax and penalty interest charges imposed under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Section 409A”), or (ii) adverse tax consequences if the Optionee is located outside of the United States, the fractional Share will be rounded down without the payment of any consideration in respect of such fractional Share.
(c) Addenda . The provisions of any addenda attached hereto are incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this Agreement, and to the extent any provision in any such addenda conflicts with any provision set forth elsewhere in this Agreement (including without limitation any provisions relating to Retirement), the provision set forth in any such addenda shall control.
3.     Exercise of Option .
(a) Right to Exercise . This Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Grant Notice and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Agreement.
(b) Method and Time of Exercise . This Option shall be exercisable by any method permitted by the Plan and this Agreement that is made available from time to time by the external third party administrator of the Options. An exercise may be made with respect to whole Shares only, and not for a fraction of a Share. Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares comply with (or are exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the Company’s securities may

2


then be traded. The Committee may require the Optionee to take any reasonable action in order to comply with any such rules or regulations. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date the Option is exercised with respect to such Shares.
(c) Acknowledgment of Potential Securities Law Restrictions . Unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covers the Shares issued upon exercise of an Option, the Committee may require that the Optionee agree in writing to acquire such Shares for investment and not for public resale or distribution, unless and until the Shares subject to the Options are registered under the Securities Act. The Committee may also require the Optionee to acknowledge that he or she shall not sell or transfer such Shares except in compliance with all applicable laws, and may apply such other restrictions as it deems appropriate. The Optionee acknowledges that the U.S. federal securities laws prohibit trading in the stock of the Company by persons who are in possession of material, non-public information, and also acknowledges and understands the other restrictions set forth in the Company’s Insider Trading Policy.
(d) Automatic Exercise Upon Expiration Date . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (other than this Section), on the last trading day on which all or a portion of the outstanding Option may be exercised, if as of the close of trading on such day the then Fair Market Value of a Share exceeds the per share Exercise Price of the Option by at least $.01 (such expiring portion of the Option that is so in-the-money, an “Auto-Exercise Eligible Option”),the Optionee will be deemed to have automatically exercised such Auto-Exercise Eligible Option (to the extent it has not previously been exercised, forfeited or terminated) as of the close of trading in accordance with the provisions of this Section. In the event of an automatic exercise pursuant to this Section, the Company will reduce the number of Shares issued to the Optionee upon such automatic exercise of the Auto-Exercise Eligible Option in an amount necessary to satisfy (1) the Optionee’s Exercise Price obligation for the Auto-Exercise Eligible Option, and (2) the minimum amount (or such other rate that will not cause adverse accounting consequences for the Company) of tax required to be withheld arising upon the automatic exercise in accordance with the procedures of Section 6(f) of the Plan (unless the Committee deems that a different method of satisfying the tax withholding obligations is practicable and advisable), in each case based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the close of trading on the date of exercise. The Optionee may notify the Plan record-keeper in writing in advance that the Optionee does not wish for the Auto-Exercise Eligible Option to be exercised. This Section shall not apply to the Option to the extent that this Section causes the Option to fail to qualify for favorable tax treatment under applicable law. In its discretion, the Company may determine to cease automatically exercising Options at any time.
4.     Method of Payment . Unless the Committee consents otherwise, payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee:
(a) cash, delivered to the external third party administrator of the Options in any methodology permitted by such third party administrator;
(b) payment under a cashless exercise program approved by the Company or through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Optionee (i) shall provide written instructions to a licensed broker acceptable to the Company and acting as agent for the Optionee to effect the immediate sale of some or all of the purchased Shares and to remit to the Company, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchased Shares and (ii) shall provide written direction to the Company to deliver the purchased Shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale transaction; or
(c) surrender of other Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the exercised Options.

3


5.     Termination of Employment .
(a) General . In the event the Optionee’s active employment or other active service-providing relationship with the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary terminates for any reason (other than death, Early Retirement or Normal Retirement) whether or not in breach of applicable labor laws, unless contrary to applicable law and unless otherwise provided by the Administrator either initially or subsequent to the grant of the Option, all unvested Options shall be automatically forfeited by the Optionee as of the date of termination and the Optionee’s right to receive options under the Plan shall also terminate as of the date of termination. The Committee shall have discretion to determine whether the Optionee has ceased to be actively employed by (or, if the Optionee is a consultant or director, has ceased actively providing services to) the Company or Eligible Subsidiary, and the effective date on which such active employment (or active service-providing relationship) terminated. The Optionee’s active employer-employee or other active service-providing relationship will not be extended by any notice period mandated under applicable law ( e.g., active employment shall not include a period of “garden leave”, paid administrative leave or similar period pursuant to applicable law) and in the event of the Optionee’s termination of employment (whether or not in breach of applicable labor laws), the Optionee’s right to exercise any Option after termination of employment, if any, shall be measured by the date of termination of active employment or service and shall not be extended by any notice period mandated under applicable law. Unless the Committee provides otherwise (1) termination of the Optionee’s employment will include instances in which the Optionee is terminated and immediately rehired as an independent contractor, and (2) the spin‑off, sale, or disposition of the Optionee’s employer from the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary (whether by transfer of shares, assets or otherwise) such that the Optionee’s employer no longer constitutes an Eligible Subsidiary will constitute a termination of employment or service.
(b) General Post-Termination Exercise Period . In the event the Optionee’s employment (or other active service-providing relationship, as applicable) with the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary terminates for any reason (other than death, Disability, Early Retirement, Normal Retirement or Gross Misconduct), whether or not in breach of applicable labor laws, the Optionee shall have a period of 90 days, commencing with the date the Optionee is no longer actively employed (or is no longer actively providing services, as applicable), to exercise the vested portion of any outstanding Options, subject to the Expiration Date of the Option. However, if the exercise of an Option following the Optionee’s termination of employment (to the extent such post-termination exercise is permitted under Section 12(a) of the Plan) is not covered by an effective registration statement on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, then the Option will terminate upon the later of (i) thirty (30) days after such exercise becomes covered by an effective registration statement, (ii) in the event that a sale of Shares would subject the Optionee to liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, thirty (30) days after the last date on which such sale would result in liability, or (iii) the end of the original post-termination exercise period, but in no event may the Option be exercised after the Expiration Date of the Option.
(c) Death . Upon the Optionee’s death prior to termination of employment (or other active service-providing relationship, as applicable), unless contrary to applicable law and unless otherwise provided by the Administrator either initially or subsequent to the grant of the Option, all unexpired Options shall become fully exercisable and may be exercised for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter (subject to the Expiration Date of the Option) by the personal representative of the Optionee’s estate or any other person to whom the Option is transferred under a will or under the applicable laws of descent and distribution.
(d) Disability . In the event the Optionee’s employment (or other active service-providing relationship) with the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary terminates by reason of the Optionee’s Disability, unless contrary to applicable law and unless otherwise provided by the Administrator either initially or subsequent to the grant of the Option, all unvested Options shall be automatically forfeited by

4


the Optionee as of the date of termination and the Optionee shall have until the first anniversary of the Optionee’s termination of employment for Disability (subject to the Expiration Date of the Option) to exercise the vested portion of any outstanding Options.
(e) Early Retirement . In the event the Optionee’s employment (or other active service-providing relationship) with the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary terminates by reason of the Optionee’s Early Retirement, and the Date of Grant of the Option precedes the Optionee’s Early Retirement date by at least six (6) months, with respect to each Tranche that is unvested as of the Early Retirement date (a “Tranche” consists of all portions of the Option as to which the Time-Based Vesting Criteria are scheduled to be satisfied on the same date), a pro-rata portion of such Tranche (i.e. based on the ratio of (x) the number of full or partial months worked by the Optionee from the Date of Grant to the Early Retirement date to (y) the total number of months in the original time-based vesting schedule of the Tranche) will continue to vest and such Options together with any Options that are vested as of the Optionee’s Early Retirement date shall remain outstanding and (once vested) may be exercised until the fifth anniversary of the Early Retirement date (or if earlier, the Expiration Date of the Option). If the Date of Grant of the Option does not precede the Optionee’s Early Retirement date by at least six (6) months, the post-termination exercise period with respect to such Option shall be governed by the other provisions of this Section 5, as applicable.
(f) Normal Retirement . In the event the Optionee’s employment (or other active service-providing relationship) with the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary terminates by reason of the Optionee’s Normal Retirement, and the Date of Grant of the Option precedes the Optionee’s Normal Retirement date by at least six (6) months, the Optionee’s unvested Options will continue to vest and such Options together with any Options that are vested as of the Optionee’s Normal Retirement date shall remain outstanding and (once vested) may be exercised until the fifth anniversary of the Normal Retirement date (or if earlier, the Expiration Date of the Option). If the Date of Grant of the Option does not precede the Optionee’s Normal Retirement date by at least six (6) months, the post-termination exercise period with respect to such Option shall be governed by the other provisions of this Section 5, as applicable.
(g) Gross Misconduct . If the Optionee’s employment with the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary is terminated for Gross Misconduct as determined by the Administrator, the Administrator in its sole discretion may provide that all, or any portion specified by the Administrator, of the Optionee’s unexercised Options shall terminate and be forfeited immediately without consideration. The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Optionee’s termination of employment shall also be deemed to be a termination of employment by reason of the Optionee’s Gross Misconduct if, after the Optionee’s employment has terminated, facts and circumstances are discovered or confirmed by the Company that would have justified a termination for Gross Misconduct.
(h) Violation of Post Termination Covenant . To the extent that any of the Optionee’s Options remain outstanding under the terms of the Plan or this Agreement after termination of the Optionee’s employment or service-providing relationship, as applicable, with the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary, such Options shall nevertheless expire as of the date the Optionee violates any covenant not to compete or other post termination covenant that exists between the Optionee on the one hand and the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, on the other hand.
(i) Substantial Corporate Change . Upon a Substantial Corporate Change, the Optionee’s outstanding Options will terminate unless provision is made in writing in connection with such transaction for the assumption or continuation of the Options, or the substitution for such Options of any options or grants covering the stock or securities of a successor employer corporation, or a parent or subsidiary of such successor, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares of stock and prices, in which event the Options will continue in the manner and under the terms so provided.

6.     Non-Transferability of Option; Term of Option .
(a) Unless the Committee determines otherwise in advance in writing, the Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the applicable laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee and/or by his or her duly appointed guardian. The terms of the Plan and this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs and permitted successors and assigns of the Optionee.
(b) Notwithstanding any other term in this Agreement, the Option may be exercised only prior to the Expiration Date set out in the Grant Notice, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Agreement.
7.     Amendment of Option or Plan .
(a) The Plan and this Agreement constitute the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Optionee expressly warrants that he or she is not accepting this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein. The Board may amend, modify or terminate the Plan or any Option in any respect at any time; provided, however, that modifications to this Agreement or the Plan that materially and adversely affect the Optionee’s rights hereunder can be made only in an express written contract signed by the Company and the Optionee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise this Agreement and the Optionee’s rights under outstanding Options as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Optionee, (1) upon a Substantial Corporate Change, (2) as required by law, or (3) to comply with Section 409A or to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A in connection with this award of Options.
(b) The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that if the Optionee changes classification from a full-time employee to a part-time employee the Committee may in its sole discretion (1) reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s unvested Options, and/or (2) extend any vesting schedule to one or more dates that occur on or before the Expiration Date.
8.     Tax Obligations .
(a) Withholding Taxes . Regardless of any action the Company or any Subsidiary employing the Optionee (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all federal, state, local or foreign income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax related-items (“Tax Related-Items”), the Optionee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax Related-Items associated with the Option is and remains the Optionee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and that the Company and the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Related-Items in connection with any aspect of the Option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s liability for Tax Related-Items. Further, if Optionee is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Optionee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax Related-Items in more than one jurisdiction.
The Optionee shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Option first becomes includible in the gross income of the Optionee for purposes of Tax Related-Items, pay to the Company and/or the

6


Employer, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator (in its sole discretion) regarding payment of, all Tax Related-Items required by applicable law to be withheld by the Company and/or the Employer with respect to the Option.  The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on the making of such payments or arrangements, and the Company and/or the Employer shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, have the right to deduct any such Tax Related-Items from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Optionee.  The Company shall have the right to require the Optionee to remit to the Company an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any applicable withholding requirements related thereto.  With the approval of the Administrator, the Optionee may satisfy the foregoing requirement by either (i) electing to have the Company withhold from delivery of Shares or (ii) delivering already owned unrestricted Shares, in each case, having a value equal to the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld (or such other rate that will not cause adverse accounting consequences for the Company).  Any such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date as of which the amount of Tax Related-Items to be withheld is determined.  Such an election may be made with respect to all or any portion of the Shares to be delivered pursuant to the Option.  The Company may also use any other method or combination of methods of obtaining the necessary payment or proceeds, as permitted by applicable law, to satisfy its withholding obligation with respect to any Option.
Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax Related-Items by considering maximum applicable rates to the extent permitted by the Plan, in which case the Optionee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Share equivalent. If the obligation for Tax Related-Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Optionee shall be deemed to have been issued the full member of Shares issued upon exercise of the Options notwithstanding that a member of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax Related-Items.
(b) Code Section 409A . Payments made pursuant to the Plan and the Agreement are intended to qualify for an exemption from or comply with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement, the Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or the Agreement to ensure that all Options granted to Optionees who are United States taxpayers are made in such a manner that either qualifies for exemption from or complies with Section 409A; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations that the Plan or the Options shall be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to the Plan or any Options granted thereunder. If the Agreement fails to meet the requirements of Section 409A, neither the Company nor any of its Eligible Subsidiaries shall have any liability for any tax, penalty or interest imposed on the Optionee by Section 409A, and the Optionee shall have no recourse against the Company or any of its Eligible Subsidiaries for payment of any such tax, penalty or interest imposed by Section 409A.
9.     Rights as Shareholder . Until all requirements for exercise of the Option pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and the Plan have been satisfied, the Optionee shall not be deemed to be a shareholder or to have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to any Shares.
10.     No Employment Contract . Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement constitutes an employment contract between the Company and the Optionee and this Agreement shall not confer upon the Optionee any right to continuation of employment with the Company or any of its Eligible Subsidiaries, nor shall this Agreement interfere in any way with the Company’s or any of its Eligible Subsidiaries right to terminate the Optionee’s employment at any time, with or without cause (subject to any employment agreement the Optionee may otherwise have with the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary thereof and/or applicable law).

7


11.     Board Authority . The Board and/or the Committee shall have the power to interpret this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of this Agreement as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether any Options have vested). All interpretations and determinations made by the Board and/or the Committee in good faith shall be final and binding upon the Optionee, the Company and all other interested persons and such determinations of the Board and/or the Committee do not have to be uniform nor do they have to consider whether optionees are similarly situated.
12.     Headings . The captions used in this Agreement and the Plan are inserted for convenience and shall not be deemed to be a part of the Option for construction and interpretation.
13.     Electronic Delivery .
(a) If the Optionee executes this Agreement electronically, for the avoidance of doubt, the Optionee acknowledges and agrees that his or her execution of this Agreement electronically (through an on-line system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company, or otherwise) shall have the same binding legal effect as would execution of this Agreement in paper form. The Optionee acknowledges that upon request of the Company he or she shall also provide an executed, paper form of this Agreement.
(b) If the Optionee executes this Agreement in paper form, for the avoidance of doubt the parties acknowledge and agree that it is their intent that any agreement previously or subsequently entered into between the parties that is executed electronically shall have the same binding legal effect as if such agreement were executed in paper form.
(c) If the Optionee executes this Agreement multiple times (for example, if the Optionee first executes this Agreement in electronic form and subsequently executes this Agreement in paper form), the Optionee acknowledges and agrees that (i) no matter how many versions of this Agreement are executed and in whatever medium, this Agreement only evidences a single grant of Options relating to the number of Shares set forth in the Grant Notice and (ii) this Agreement shall be effective as of the earliest execution of this Agreement by the parties, whether in paper form or electronically, and the subsequent execution of this Agreement in the same or a different medium shall in no way impair the binding legal effect of this Agreement as of the time of original execution.
(d) The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver by electronic means any documents related to the Option, to participation in the Plan, or to future awards granted under the Plan, or otherwise required to be delivered to the Optionee pursuant to the Plan or under applicable law, including but not limited to, the Plan, the Agreement, the Plan prospectus and any reports of the Company generally provided to shareholders. Such means of electronic delivery may include, but do not necessarily include, the delivery of a link to the Company’s intranet or the internet site of a third party involved in administering the Plan, the delivery of documents via electronic mail (“e-mail”) or such other means of electronic delivery specified by the Company. By executing this Agreement, the Optionee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery. At the Optionee’s written request to the Secretary of the Company, the Company shall provide a paper copy of any document at no cost to the Optionee.
14.     Data Privacy . The Company is located at 200 S. Kraemer Blvd., Building E, Brea, California 92821, United States of America and grants Options under the Plan to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries in its sole discretion. In conjunction with the Company’s grant of Options under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such awards, the Company is providing the following information about its data collection, processing and transfer practices (“Personal Data Activities”). In

8


accepting the grant of the Option, the Optionee expressly and explicitly consents to the Personal Data Activities as described herein.
(a) Data Collection, Processing and Usage . The Company collects, processes and uses the Optionee’s personal data, including the Optionee’s name, home address, e-mail address, and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Options or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Optionee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Optionee or the Employer. In granting the Option under the Plan, the Company will collect the Optionee’s personal data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the collection, processing and usage of the Optionee’s personal data is the Optionee’s consent.
(b) Stock Plan Administration Service Provider . The Company transfers the Optionee’s personal data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services LLC, an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Stock Plan Administrator”). In the future, the Company may select a different Stock Plan Administrator and share the Optionee’s personal data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for the Optionee to receive and trade Shares acquired under the Plan. The Optionee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a condition to the Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan.
(c) International Data Transfers . The Company and the Stock Plan Administrator are based in the United States. The Optionee should note that the Optionee’s country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Optionee’s personal data to the United States is the Optionee’s consent.
(d) Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal . The Optionee’s participation in the Plan and his or her grant of consent is purely voluntary. The Optionee may deny or withdraw his or her consent at any time. If the Optionee does not consent, or if the Optionee later withdraws his or her consent, the Optionee may be unable to participate in the Plan. This would not affect the Optionee’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Optionee merely may forfeit the opportunities associated wit the Plan.
(e) Data Subject Rights . The Optionee may have a number of rights under the data privacy laws in the Optionee’s country of residence. For example, the Optionee’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data. (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Optionee’s country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Optionee’s personal data. To receive clarification regarding the Optionee’s rights or to exercise his or her rights, the Optionee should contact his or her local human resources department.
15.     Waiver of Right to Jury Trial . EACH PARTY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY RIGHT OR EXPECTATION AGAINST THE OTHER TO TRIAL OR ADJUDICATION BY A JURY OF ANY CLAIM, CAUSE OR ACTION ARISING WITH RESPECT TO THE OPTION OR HEREUNDER, OR THE RIGHTS, DUTIES OR LIABILITIES CREATED HEREBY.

9


16.     Agreement Severable . In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
17.     Governing Law and Venue . The laws of the State of Delaware (other than its choice of law provisions) shall govern this Agreement and its interpretation. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises with respect to this Option, this Agreement or the Plan, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Delaware, and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of New Castle County, or the United States Federal court for the District of Delaware, and no other courts; and waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that the laying of the venue of any legal or equitable proceedings related to, concerning or arising from such dispute which is brought in any such court is improper or that such proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum. Any claim under the Plan, this Agreement or any Option must be commenced by Optionee within twelve (12) months of the earliest date on which Optionee’s claim first arises, or Optionee’s cause of action accrues, or such claim will be deemed waived by Optionee.
18.     Nature of Option . In accepting the Option, Optionee acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b) the award of the Option is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of options, or benefits in lieu of options, even if options have been granted repeatedly in the past;
(c) all decisions with respect to future equity awards, if any, shall be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d) the Optionee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;
(e) the Option, and the income and value of same, is an extraordinary item that (i) does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or any Subsidiary, and (ii) is outside the scope of the Optionee’s employment or service contract, if any;
(f) the Option, and the income and value of same, is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, holiday pay, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or any Subsidiary;
(g) the Option and any Shares acquired under the Plan, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace or supplement any pension rights or compensation
(h) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Option, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, any service the Optionee may provide as a director of any Subsidiary;
(i) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(j) if the Shares do not increase in value, the Option will have no value;

10


(k) if the Optionee exercises the Option and obtains Shares, the value of the Shares obtained upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even below the Exercise Price;
(l) in consideration of the award of the Option, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the Option or diminution in value of the Option, or Shares purchased through the exercise of the Option, resulting from termination of the Optionee’s employment or continuous service with the Company or any Subsidiary (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of applicable labor laws of the jurisdiction where the Optionee is employed or the terms of the Optionee’s employment agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the Options, the Optionee agrees not to institute any claim against the Company or any Subsidiary; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing/electronically accepting this Agreement, Optionee shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived the Optionee’s entitlement to pursue or seek remedy for any such claim; and
(m) neither the Company, the Employer nor any other Eligible Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Optionee’s local currency and the U.S. Dollar that may affect the value of the Option or of any amounts due to the Optionee pursuant to the exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon exercise.
19.     Language . The Optionee acknowledges that he or she is proficient in the English language and understands the terms of this Agreement. If the Optionee has received the Plan, this Agreement, the Plan or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control, unless otherwise prescribed by applicable law.
20.     Severability . The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.
21.     Waiver . The Optionee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the Optionee or any other participant.
22.     Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws . By accepting the Options, the Optionee acknowledges that the Optionee is bound by all the terms and conditions of any Company insider trading policy as may be in effect from time to time. The Optionee further acknowledges that, depending on the Optionee’s country, the Optionee may be or may become subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect the Optionee’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., Options) or rights linked to the value of Shares under the Plan during such times as the Optionee is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the applicable jurisdictions). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Optionee placed before the Optionee possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Optionee could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, which may include fellow employees and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any Company insider trading policy as may be in effect from time to time. The Optionee acknowledges that it is the Optionee’s personal responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and Optionee should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.
23.     Legal and Tax Compliance; Cooperation . If the Optionee resides or is employed outside of the United States, the Optionee agrees, as a condition of the grant of the Options, to repatriate all payments

11


attributable to the Shares and/or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends and any proceeds derived from the sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the Options) if required by and in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in the Optionee’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different). In addition, the Optionee also agrees to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Eligible Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and its Eligible Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Optionee’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different). Finally, the Optionee agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Optionee’s personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in the Optionee’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different).
24.     Private Offering . The grant of the Options is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Optionee’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different). The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filing with the local securities authorities with respect to the grant of the Options (unless otherwise required under local law). No employee of the Company is permitted to advise the Optionee on whether the Optionee should purchase Shares under the Plan or provide the Optionee with any legal, tax or financial advice with respect to the grant of the Options. Investment in Shares involves a degree of risk. Before deciding to purchase Shares pursuant to the Options, the Optionee should carefully consider all risk factors and tax considerations relevant to the acquisition of Shares under the Plan or the disposition of them. Further, the Optionee should carefully review all of the materials related to the Options and the Plan, and the Optionee should consult with the Optionee’s personal legal, tax and financial advisors for professional advice in relation to the Optionee’s personal circumstances.
25.     Foreign Asset/Account Reporting and Exchange Controls . The Optionee’s country may have certain exchange control and/or foreign asset/account reporting requirements which may affect the Optionee’s ability to acquire or hold Shares under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends paid on Shares or sale proceeds resulting from the sale of Shares) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Optionee’s country. The Optionee may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in his or her country. The Optionee may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of the Optionee ’s participation in the Plan to the Optionee ’s country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt. The Optionee acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable regulations, and that the Optionee should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.
26.     Addendums . Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement, the Option and any Shares acquired under the Plan shall be subject to any special terms and conditions for the Optionee’s country of employment and country of residence, if different, as set forth in any of the Addendums. Moreover, if the Optionee relocates to one of the countries included in any of the Addendums, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Optionee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons and provided the imposition of the term or condition will not result in any adverse accounting expense with respect to the Option (or the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Optionee’s transfer). The Addendums constitute part of the Agreement.
27.      Imposition of Other Requirements . The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, on the Option and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons and provided the imposition of the term or condition will not result in adverse accounting expense to the Company, and to require the Optionee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

12


28.     Recoupment . The Options granted pursuant to this Agreement are subject to the terms of the Envista Holdings Corporation Recoupment Policy in the form approved by the Committee from time to time (including any successor thereto, the “Policy”) and to the terms required by applicable law; and the terms of the Policy and such applicable law are incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof. For purposes of the foregoing, the Optionee expressly and explicitly authorizes the Company to issue instructions, on the Optionee’s behalf, to any brokerage firm and/or third party administrator engaged by the Company to hold the Optionee’s Shares and other amounts acquired pursuant to the Optionee’s Options, to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such Shares and/or other amounts to the Company upon the Company’s enforcement of the Policy. To the extent that the Agreement and the Policy conflict, the terms of the Policy shall prevail.
29.     Notices . The Company may, directly or through its third party stock plan administrator, endeavor to provide certain notices to the Optionee regarding certain events relating to awards that the Optionee may have received or may in the future receive under the Plan, such as notices reminding the Optionee of the vesting or expiration date of certain awards. The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that (1) the Company has no obligation (whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) to provide any such notices; (2) to the extent the Company does provide any such notices to the Optionee the Company does not thereby assume any obligation to provide any such notices or other notices; and (3) the Company, its Subsidiaries and the third party stock plan administrator have no liability for, and the Optionee has no right whatsoever (whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) to make any claim against the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or the third party stock plan administrator based on any allegations of, damages or harm suffered by the Optionee as a result of the Company’s failure to provide any such notices or the Optionee’s failure to receive any such notices. The Optionee further agrees to notify the Company upon any change in his or her residence address.
30.     Limitations on Liability . Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan or this Agreement, no individual acting as a director, employee, or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will be liable to the Optionee or the Optionee’s spouse, beneficiary, or any other person or entity for any claim, loss, liability, or expense incurred in connection with the Plan, nor will such individual be personally liable because of any contract or other instrument he or she executes in such other capacity.

ADDENDUM A
This Addendum includes special terms and conditions that govern the Option granted to the Optionee if the Optionee resides and/or works in one of the countries listed herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Grant Notice, the Agreement or the Plan.
This Addendum also includes information regarding securities, exchange control, tax and certain other issues of which the Optionee should be aware with respect to the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control, tax and other laws in effect as of November 2018. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company recommends that the Optionee not rely on the information contained herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the Optionee exercises the Option or sells Shares acquired under the Plan.
In addition, this Addendum is general in nature and may not apply to the Optionee’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Optionee of any particular result. Accordingly, the Optionee should to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Optionee’s country apply to the Optionee’s specific situation.
If the Optionee is a citizen or resident (or is considered as such for local tax purposes) of a country other than the one in which the Optionee is currently working and/or residing, or if the Optionee transfers employment and/or residency to another country after the grant of the Option, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Optionee in the same manner.
EUROPEAN UNION (“EU”) / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA (“EEA”)
Data Privacy
If the Optionee resides and/or is employed in the EU / EEA, the following provision replaces Section 14 of the Agreement:
The Company is located at 200 S. Kraemer Blvd., Building E, Brea California 92821 and grants Options under the Plan to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries in its sole discretion. The Optionee should review the following information about the Company’s data processing practices.
(a) Data Collection, Processing and Usage . Pursuant to applicable data protection laws, the Optionee is hereby notified that the Company collects, processes, and uses certain personally-identifiable information about the Optionee; specifically, including the Optionee’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Options or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Optionee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Optionee or the Employer. In granting the Options under the Plan, the Company will collect the Optionee’s personal data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company collects, processes and uses the Optionee’s personal data pursuant to the Company’s legitimate interest of managing the Plan and generally administering employee equity awards and to satisfy its contractual obligations under the terms of this Agreement. The Optionee’s refusal to provide personal data may affect the Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan. As such, by participating in the Plan, the Optionee voluntarily acknowledges the collection, processing and use, of the Optionee’s personal data as described herein.
(b) Stock Plan Administration Service Provider . The Company transfers participant data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services LLC, an independent service provider based in the United States,

15


which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Stock Plan Administrator”). In the future, the Company may select a different Stock Plan Administrator and share the Optionee’s personal data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for the Optionee to receive and trade Shares acquired under the Plan. The Optionee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a condition to the Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan.
(c) International Data Transfers . The Company and the Stock Plan Administrator are based in the United States. The Company can only meet its contractual obligations to the Optionee if the Optionee’s personal data is transferred to the United States. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Optionee’s personal data to the United States is to satisfy its contractual obligations under the terms of this Agreement and/or its use of the standard data protection clauses adopted by the EU Commission.
(d) Data Retention . The Company will use the Optionee’s personal data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Optionee’s participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs the Optionee’s personal data, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps the Optionee’s data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be for compliance with relevant laws or regulations.
(e) Data Subjects Rights . The Optionee may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Optionee’s country of residence. For example, the Optionee’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Optionee’s country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Optionee’s personal data. To receive clarification regarding the Optionee’s rights or to exercise his or her rights, the Optionee should contact his or her local human resources department.

For purposes of applying the Plan and Section 5(f) of this Agreement (regarding Normal Retirement) to such Optionee, the definition of “Normal Retirement” set forth in the Plan shall not apply and instead “Normal Retirement” shall mean such Optionee’s attainment of the statutory retirement age in Austria.

Consent to Receive Information in English
The parties acknowledge that it is their express wish that this Agreement, as well as all documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant hereto or relating directly or indirectly hereto, be written in English.
Les parties reconnaissent avoir exigé la rédaction en anglais du présent Contrat, ainsi que de tous documents exécutés, avis donnés ou procédures judiciaires intentées, en vertu du, ou liés directement ou indirectement, au présent Contrat.
Data Privacy
The provision supplements Section 14 of the Agreement:
The Optionee hereby authorizes the Company and the Company’s representatives to discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or not, involved in the administration and operation of the Optionee’s awards under the Plan. The Optionee further authorizes the Company, its Subsidiaries, and the Stock Plan Administrator, to disclose and discuss the Optionee’s participation in the Plan with their respective advisors. The Optionee further authorizes the Company and its Subsidiaries to record such information and to keep such information in his or her employee file.
Securities Law Notice
The Optionee is permitted to sell Shares acquired under the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any (or any other broker acceptable to the Company), provided the resale of Shares acquired under the Plan takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed. The Shares are currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information
Foreign property, including Options, Shares acquired under the Plan, and other rights to receive shares of a non-Canadian company held by a Canadian resident must generally be reported annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. Thus, Options must be reported – generally at a nil cost – if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because the Optionee holds other foreign property. When Shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Shares. The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the Shares at the time of acquisition, but if the Optionee owns other shares of the Company, this ACB may need to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares. The Optionee should consult his or her personal legal advisor to ensure compliance with applicable reporting obligations.

However, if the Optionee does not repatriate the funds and uses such funds for the payment of other obligations contemplated under a different Chapter of the Foreign Exchange Regulations, the Optionee must sign Annex 1 of the Manual of Chapter XII of the Foreign Exchange Regulations and file it directly with the Central Bank of Chile within the first ten (10) days of the month immediately following the transaction.
If the Optionee’s aggregate investments held outside of Chile exceed US$5,000,000 (including the value of the Shares acquired under the Plan), the Optionee must report the status of such investments annually to the Central Bank, using Annex 3.1 of Chapter XII of the Foreign Exchange Regulations.
Please note that exchange control regulations in Chile are subject to change. The Optionee should consult with his or her personal legal advisor regarding any exchange control obligations that the Optionee may have prior to the exercise of the Option.

CHINA
Exchange Control Restrictions Applicable to Optionees who are PRC Nationals
If the Optionee is a local national of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), the Optionee understands that, except as otherwise provided herein, his or her Options can be exercised only by means of the cashless sell-all method, under which all Shares underlying the Options are immediately sold upon exercise.
In addition, the Optionee understands and agrees that, pursuant to local exchange control requirements, the Optionee is required to repatriate the cash proceeds from the cashless sell-all method of exercise of the Options, (i.e., the sale proceeds less the Exercise Price and any administrative fees). The Optionee agrees that the Company is authorized to instruct its designated broker to assist with the immediate sale of such Shares (on the Optionee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization), and the Optionee expressly authorizes such broker to complete the sale of such Shares. The Optionee acknowledges that the Company’s broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of Shares at any particular price. The Company reserves the right to provide additional methods of exercise depending on the development of local law.
In addition, the Optionee understands and agrees that the cash proceeds from the exercise of his or her Options, (i.e., the proceeds of the sale of the Shares underlying the Options, less the Exercise Price and any administrative fees) will be repatriated to China. The Optionee further understands that, under local law, such repatriation of the cash proceeds may be effectuated through a special foreign exchange control account to be approved by the local foreign exchange administration, and the Optionee hereby consents and agrees that the proceeds from the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan, net of the Exercise Price and administrative fees, may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to the Optionee. The proceeds, net of Tax Related-Items, may be paid to the Optionee in U.S. Dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion. In the event the proceeds are paid to the Optionee in U.S. Dollars, the Optionee understands that he or she will be required to set up a U.S. Dollar bank account in China and provide the bank account details to the Employer and/or the Company so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. In addition, the Optionee understands and agrees that the Optionee will be responsible for converting the proceeds into Renminbi Yuan at the Optionee’s expense.
If the proceeds are paid to the Optionee in local currency, the Optionee agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time Shares are sold and the time the sale proceeds are distributed through any such special exchange account.
Method of Exercise
The Optionee acknowledges that due to regulatory requirements, and notwithstanding any terms or conditions of the Plan or the Agreement to the contrary, Optionees residing in mainland China will be restricted to the

22


cashless sell-all method of exercise with respect to their Options. To complete a cashless sell-all exercise, the Optionee understands that the Optionee needs to instruct the broker to: (i) sell all of the purchased Shares issued upon exercise; (ii) use the proceeds to pay the Exercise Price, brokerage fees and any applicable Tax Related-Items; and (iii) remit the balance in cash to the Optionee. In the event of changes in regulatory requirements, the Company reserves the right to eliminate the cashless sell-all method of exercise requirement and, in its sole discretion, to permit cash exercises, cashless sell-to-cover exercises or any other method of exercise and payment deemed appropriate by the Company.
Exchange Control Notice Applicable to Optionees in the PRC
If the Optionee is a local national of the PRC, the Optionee understands that exchange control restrictions may limit the Optionee’s ability to access and/or convert funds received under the Plan, particularly if these amounts exceed US$50,000. The Optionee should confirm the procedures and requirements for withdrawals and conversions of foreign currency with his or her local bank prior to the Option exercise.
The Optionee agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in the Peoples’ Republic of China.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information
PRC residents are required to report to SAFE details of their foreign financial assets and liabilities, as well as details of any economic transactions conducted with non-PRC residents, either directly or through financial institutions. The Optionee may be subject to reporting obligations for the Shares or awards acquired under the Plan and Plan-related transactions. It is the Optionee’s responsibility to comply with this reporting obligation and the Optionee should consult his/her personal tax advisor in this regard.
COLOMBIA
Labor Law Acknowledgement
The following provision supplements Section 18 of the Agreement:
The Optionee acknowledges that pursuant to Article 15 of Law 50/1990 (Article 128 of the Colombian Labor Code), the Plan, the Option, the underlying Shares, and any other amounts or payments granted or realized from participation in the Plan do not constitute a component of the Optionee’s “salary” for any purpose. To this extent, they will not be included and/or considered for purposes of calculating any and all labor benefits, such as legal/fringe benefits, vacations, indemnities, payroll taxes, social insurance contributions or any other labor-related amount which may be payable.
Securities Law Notice
The Shares are not and will not be registered with the Colombian registry of publicly traded securities ( Registro Nacional de Valores y Emisores ), and therefore, the Shares cannot be offered to the public in Colombia. Nothing in the Agreement shall be construed as making a public offer of securities, or the promotion of financial products in Colombia.
Exchange Control Notice
Foreign investments must be registered with the Central Bank of Colombia ( Banco de la República ). Upon the subsequent sale or other disposition of investments held abroad, the registration with the Central Bank must be canceled, the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the Shares must be repatriated to Colombia and the appropriate Central Bank form must be filed (usually with the Optionee’s local bank).

23


The Optionee acknowledges that he or she personally is responsible for complying with Colombian exchange control requirements.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information

The Optionee acknowledges that he or she personally is responsible for complying with this tax reporting requirement.
CROATIA
Exchange Control Notice
The Optionee must report any financial investments (including Shares acquired under the Plan) to the Croatian National Bank for statistical purposes.

CZECH REPUBLIC
Termination of Employment
Sections 5(e) and (f) of this Agreement, (Early Retirement and Normal Retirement, respectively), shall not apply to any Optionee who as of the Date of Grant is on permanent, non-temporary assignment in the Czech Republic.

Upon request of the Czech National Bank (the “CNB”), the Optionee may need to report the following to the CNB: foreign direct investments, financial credits from abroad, investment in foreign securities and associated collection and payments (Shares and proceeds from the sale of Shares may be included in this reporting requirement). Even in the absence of a request from the CNB, the Optionee may need to report foreign direct investments with a value of CZK 2,500,000 or more in the aggregate and/or other foreign financial assets with a value of CZK 200,000,000 or more.
Because exchange control regulations change frequently and without notice, the Optionee should consult his or her personal legal advisor prior to the exercise of the Option and the subsequent sale of Shares to ensure compliance with current regulations. It is the Optionee’s responsibility to comply with Czech exchange control laws, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary will be liable for any resulting fines or penalties.
DENMARK
Danish Stock Option Act
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the treatment of the Option upon the Optionee’s termination of employment with the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary, as applicable, shall be governed by the Danish Stock Option Act, as in effect at the time of the Optionee’s termination (as determined by the Committee in its discretion in consultation with leagal counsel). By accepting the Option, the Optionee

24


acknowledges that he or she has received a Danish translation of an Employer Statement, which is being provided to comply with the Danish Stock Option Act.
Termination of Employment
Section 5(e) of this Agreement (regarding Early Retirement) shall not apply to any Optionee who as of the Date of Grant is on permanent, non-temporary assignment in Denmark. Instead, the provisions of Section 5(a) (General), shall apply, notwithstanding the provisions therein regarding Early Retirement to the contrary.
For purposes of applying the Plan and Section 5(f) of this Agreement (regarding Normal Retirement) to such Optionee, the definition of “Normal Retirement” set forth in the Plan shall not apply and instead “Normal Retirement” shall mean such Optionee’s attainment of the statutory retirement age in Denmark. In the absence of a statutory retirement age, “Normal Retirement” shall mean attainment of the customary age for retirement in Denmark.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that subsequent to the Date of Grant such Optionee works in a jurisdiction other than Denmark, if required to comply with applicable law, the Committee shall have sole and absolute discretion to instead apply to such Optionee the retirement provisions of this Agreement that are applicable in such other jurisdiction.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information
The establishment of an account holding Shares or an account holding cash outside Denmark must be reported to the Danish Tax Administration. The form which should be used in this respect may be obtained from a local bank. (Please note that these obligations are separate from and in addition to the securities/tax reporting obligations described below.)

The Optionee should carefully read the materials provided before making a decision whether to participate in the Plan. In addition, the Optionee should contact his or her tax advisor for specific information concerning the Optionee’s personal tax situation with regard to Plan participation.
Tax Clearance Certificate for Cash Exercises
If the Optionee exercises the Option by a cash purchase exercise, the Optionee is required to obtain and provide to the Employer, or any third party designated by the Employer or the Company, a Tax Clearance Certificate (with respect to Foreign Investments) bearing the official stamp and signature of the Exchange Control Department of the South African Revenue Service (“SARS”). The Optionee must renew this Tax Clearance Certificate each twelve (12) months or in such other period as may be required by the SARS.
If the Optionee exercises the Option by a cashless exercise whereby no funds are remitted offshore for the purchase of Shares, he or she is not required to obtain a Tax Clearance Certificate.
Exchange Control Notice
The Options may be subject to exchange control regulations in South Africa. In particular, if the Optionee is a South African resident for exchange control purposes, he or she is required to obtain approval from the South African Reserve Bank for payments (including payments of proceeds from the sale of the Shares) that he or she receives into accounts based outside of South Africa (e.g., a U.S. brokerage account). Because exchange control regulations are subject to change, the Optionee should consult with his or her personal advisor to ensure compliance with current regulations. The Optionee is responsible for ensuring compliance with all exchange control laws in South Africa.
SPAIN
Termination of Employment
Section 5(e) of this Agreement (regarding Early Retirement) shall not apply to any Optionee who as of the Date of Grant is on permanent, non-temporary assignment in Spain. Instead, the provisions of Section 5(a) (General), shall apply, notwithstanding the provisions therein regarding Early Retirement to the contrary.
For purposes of applying the Plan and Section 5(f) of this Agreement (regarding Normal Retirement) to such Optionee, the definition of “Normal Retirement” set forth in the Plan shall not apply and instead “Normal Retirement” shall mean such Optionee’s attainment of the statutory retirement age in Spain. In the absence of a statutory retirement age, “Normal Retirement” shall mean attainment of the customary age for retirement in Spain.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that subsequent to the Date of Grant such Optionee works in a jurisdiction other than Spain, if required to comply with applicable law, the Committee shall have sole and

42


absolute discretion to instead apply to such Optionee the retirement provisions of this Agreement that are applicable in such other jurisdiction.
Nature of Options
This provision supplements Section 18 of the Agreement:
In accepting the grant of Options, the Optionee acknowledges that he or she consents to participation in the Plan and has received a copy of the Plan.
The Optionee understands that the Company, in its sole discretion, has unilaterally and gratuitously decided to grant Options under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any Options will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on an ongoing basis. Consequently, the Optionee understands that the Option is granted on the assumption and condition that the Option and the Shares issued upon exercise of the Option shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, or salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.
Further, the Optionee understands and agrees that, unless otherwise expressly provided for by the Company or set forth in the Agreement, the Option will be cancelled without entitlement to any Shares if the Optionee’s employment is terminated for any reason, including, but not limited to: resignation, retirement, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without good cause ( i.e. , subject to a “despido improcedente”), material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute, Article 50 of the Workers’ Statute, or under Article 10.3 of Royal Decree 1382/1985. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the date when the Optionee’s employment has terminated for purposes of the Option.
The Optionee understands that this Option grant would not be made to the Optionee but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Optionee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of, or right to, the Option shall be null and void.
Exchange Control Notice
The Optionee must declare the acquisition of the Shares to the Dirección General de Comercio e Inversiones (the “DGCI”) of the Ministry of Industry for statistical purposes. The Optionee must also declare ownership of any Shares with the Directorate of Foreign Transactions each January while the Shares are owned. In addition, if the Optionee wishes to import the ownership title of the Shares (i.e., share certificates) into Spain, he or she must declare the importation of such securities to the DGCI. The sale of the Shares must also be declared to the DGCI by means of a form D-6 filed in January. The form D-6, generally, must be filed within one month after the sale if the Optionee owns more than 10% of the share capital of the Company or his or her investment exceeds €1,502,530. In addition, the Optionee may be required to electronically declare to the Bank of Spain any foreign accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), any foreign instruments (including Shares acquired under the Plan), and any transactions with non-Spanish residents, depending on the balances in such accounts together with the value of such instruments as of December 31 of the relevant year, or the volume of transactions with non-Spanish residents during the relevant year.
Securities Law Notice

43


No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory in connection with the Options. The Plan, the Agreement (including this Addendum) and any other documents evidencing the grant of the Options have not, nor will they be, registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores , and none of those documents constitutes a public offering prospectus.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information
To the extent the Optionee holds rights or assets (e.g., cash or the Shares held in a bank or brokerage account) outside of Spain with a value in excess of €50,000 per type of right or asset as of December 31 each year (or at any time during the year in which the Optionee sells or disposes of such right or asset), the Optionee is required to report information on such rights and assets on his or her tax return for such year. After such rights or assets are initially reported, the reporting obligation will only apply for subsequent years if the value of any previously-reported rights or assets increases by more than €20,000. The reporting must be completed by the following March 31. Failure to comply with this reporting requirement may result in penalties to the Spanish residents.
In addition, the Optionee may be required to electronically declare to the Bank of Spain any foreign accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), any foreign instruments (including Shares acquired under the Plan), and any transactions with non-Spanish residents (including any payments of Shares made pursuant to the Plan), depending on the balances in such accounts together with the value of such instruments as of December 31 of the relevant year, or the volume of transactions with non-Spanish residents during the relevant year.
Spanish residents should consult with their personal tax and legal advisors to ensure compliance with their personal reporting obligations.
SWEDEN
Termination of Employment
Section 5(e) of this Agreement (regarding Early Retirement) shall not apply to any Optionee who as of the Date of Grant is on permanent, non-temporary assignment in Sweden. Instead, the provisions of Section 5(a) (General), shall apply, notwithstanding the provisions therein regarding Early Retirement to the contrary.
For purposes of applying the Plan and Section 5(f) of this Agreement (regarding Normal Retirement) to such Optionee, the definition of “Normal Retirement” set forth in the Plan shall not apply and instead “Normal Retirement” shall mean such Optionee’s attainment of the statutory retirement age in Sweden. In the absence of a statutory retirement age, “Normal Retirement” shall mean attainment of the customary age for retirement in Sweden.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that subsequent to the Date of Grant such Optionee works in a jurisdiction other than Sweden, if required to comply with applicable law, the Committee shall have sole and absolute discretion to instead apply to such Optionee the retirement provisions of this Agreement that are applicable in such other jurisdiction.
SWITZERLAND
Securities Law Notice
The grant of Options is considered a private offering in Switzerland and is therefore not subject to securities registration in Switzerland. Neither this document nor any other materials relating to the Options (i) constitute a prospectus as such term is understood pursuant to the Swiss Code of Obligations, (ii) may be publicly

44


distributed nor otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland, or (iii) has been or will be filed with, approved or supervised by any Swiss regulatory authority (in particular, the Swiss Financial Supervisory authority).
TAIWAN
Securities Law Notice
The offer of participation in the Plan is available only for employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries. The offer of participation in the Plan is not a public offer of securities by a Taiwanese company.
Exchange Control Notice
If the Optionee is a resident of Taiwan, he or she may acquire foreign currency, and remit the same out of or into Taiwan, up to US$5,000,000 per year without justification. If the transaction amount is TWD$500,000 or more in a single transaction, the Optionee must submit a Foreign Exchange Transaction Form to the remitting bank. If the transaction amount is US$500,000 or more in a single transaction, the Optionee may be required to provide additional supporting documentation to the satisfaction of the remitting bank.
THAILAND
Exchange Control Notice
Thai residents realizing US$50,000 or more in a single transaction from the sale of Shares or the payment of dividends are required to repatriate the funds to Thailand immediately following the receipt of the funds and to then either convert such repatriated funds into Thai Baht or deposit the funds into a foreign currency account opened with any commercial bank in Thailand within 360 days of repatriation. Any such commercial bank must be duly authorized by the Bank of Thailand to engage in the purchase, exchange and withdrawal of foreign currency. Further, for repatriated funds of US$50,000 or more, the Optionee must specifically report the inward remittance by submitting the Foreign Exchange Transaction Form to an authorized agent, i.e., a commercial bank authorized by the Bank of Thailand to engage in the purchase, exchange and withdrawal of foreign currency.
If the Optionee does not comply with this obligation, the Optionee may be subject to penalties assessed by the Bank of Thailand. Because exchange control regulations change frequently and without notice, the Optionee should consult a legal advisor before selling Shares to ensure compliance with current regulations. It is the Optionee’s responsibility to comply with exchange control laws in Thailand, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from Optionee’s failure to comply with applicable laws.
TURKEY
Securities Law Notice
Under Turkish law, the Optionee is not permitted to sell Shares acquired under the Plan in Turkey. The Shares are currently traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticket symbol “NVST” and the Shares may be sold through this exchange.

45


Exchange Control Notice
If the Optionee remits funds out of Turkey in order to exercise the Options, the Optionee must remit such funds through a licensed financial intermediary institution in Turkey.
In certain circumstances, Turkish residents are permitted to sell Shares traded on a non-Turkish stock exchange only through a financial intermediary licensed in Turkey. Therefore, Turkish residents may be required to appoint a Turkish broker to assist with the sale of the Shares acquired under the Plan. The Optionee should consult his or her personal legal advisor before selling any Shares acquired under the Plan to confirm the applicability of this requirement.
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
Securities Law Notice

UNITED KINGDOM
Termination of Employment
Sections 5(e) and (f) of this Agreement, (Early Retirement and Normal Retirement, respectively), shall not apply to any Optionee who as of the Date of Grant is on permanent, non-temporary assignment in the United Kingdom. Instead, the provisions of Section 5(a) (General), shall apply, notwithstanding the provisions therein regarding Early Retirement and Normal Retirement to the contrary.
Tax Obligations
This provision supplements Section 8 of the Agreement:
Without limitation to Section 8 of the Agreement, the Optionee hereby agrees that the Optionee is liable for all Tax Related-Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax Related-Items, as and when requested by the Company, or if different, the Employer, or by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Optionee also hereby agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and, if different, the Employer, against any Tax Related-Items that they are required to pay or withhold, or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority) on the Optionee’s behalf.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Optionee is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the Optionee may not be able to indemnify the Company or the Employer for the amount of any income tax not collected from or paid by the Optionee, as it may be

46


considered a loan. In this case, the amount of any uncollected amounts may constitute a benefit to the Optionee on which additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions may be payable. The Optionee will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying the Company or the Employer for the value of any National Insurance Contributions due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Employer may recover by any of the means referred to in Section 8 of the Agreement.
VIETNAM
Method of Exercise
The Optionee acknowledges that due to regulatory requirements, and notwithstanding any terms or conditions of the Plan or the Agreement to the contrary, if the Optionee resides in Vietnam, the Optionee will be restricted to the cashless sell-all method of exercise with respect to their Options. To complete a cashless sell-all exercise, the Optionee understands that the Optionee needs to instruct the broker to: (i) sell all of the purchased Shares issued upon exercise; (ii) use the proceeds to pay the Exercise Price, brokerage fees and any applicable Tax Related-Items; and (iii) the Optionee will receive the balance in cash from the Employer.

(a) Form and Timing of Payment . The Award of RSUs represents the right to receive a number of Shares equal to the number of RSUs that vest pursuant to the Vesting Conditions. Unless and until the RSUs have vested in the manner set forth in Sections 2 and 4, the Participant shall have no right to payment of any such RSUs. Prior to actual issuance of any Shares underlying the RSUs, such RSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. Subject to the other terms of the Plan and this Agreement, with respect to any Tranche that vests in accordance with Sections 2 and 4, the underlying Shares will be paid to the Participant in whole Shares within 90 days of the Vesting Date for that Tranche. The Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares comply with (or are exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the Company’s securities may then be traded. The Committee may require the Participant to take any reasonable action in order to comply with any such rules or regulations.

2


(b) Acknowledgment of Potential Securities Law Restrictions . Unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covers the Shares issued upon vesting of an RSU, the Committee may require that the Participant agree in writing to acquire such Shares for investment and not for public resale or distribution, unless and until the Shares subject to the RSUs are registered under the Securities Act. The Committee may also require the Participant to acknowledge that he or she shall not sell or transfer such Shares except in compliance with all applicable laws, and may apply such other restrictions as it deems appropriate. The Participant acknowledges that the U.S. federal securities laws prohibit trading in the stock of the Company by persons who are in possession of material, non-public information, and also acknowledges and understands the other restrictions set forth in the Company’s Insider Trading Policy.
4. Termination .
(a) General . In the event the Participant’s active employment or other active service-providing relationship, as applicable, with the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary terminates (the date of any such termination is referred to as the “Termination Date”) for any reason (other than death, Early Retirement or Normal Retirement) whether or not in breach of applicable labor laws, unless contrary to applicable law and unless otherwise provided by the Administrator either initially or subsequent to the grant of the RSUs, all RSUs that are unvested as of the Termination Date shall automatically terminate as of the Termination Date and the Participant’s right to receive further RSUs under the Plan shall also terminate as of the Termination Date. The Committee shall have discretion to determine whether the Participant has ceased to be actively employed by (or, if the Participant is a consultant or director, has ceased actively providing services to) the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary, and the effective date on which such active employment (or active service-providing relationship, as applicable) terminated. The Participant’s active employer-employee or other active service-providing relationship, as applicable, will not be extended by any notice period mandated under applicable law ( e.g., active employment shall not include a period of “garden leave,” paid administrative leave or similar period pursuant to applicable law). Unless the Committee provides otherwise (1) termination of the Participant’s employment will include instances in which the Participant is terminated and immediately rehired as an independent contractor, and (2) the spin‑off, sale, or disposition of the Participant’s employer from the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary (whether by transfer of shares, assets or otherwise) such that the Participant’s employer no longer constitutes an Eligible Subsidiary will constitute a termination of employment or service.
(b) Death . In the event the Participant’s active employment or other active service-providing relationship with the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary terminates as a result of death, unless contrary to applicable law and unless otherwise provided by the Administrator either initially or subsequent to the grant of the RSUs, the Participant’s estate will become vested in a pro rata amount of each unvested Tranche based on the number of complete twelve-month periods between the Date of Grant and the date of the Participant’s death divided by the total number of twelve-month periods between the Date of Grant and the Time-Based Vesting Date applicable to such Tranche. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of this Section, any partial twelve-month period between the Date of Grant and the date of death shall be considered a complete twelve-month period and any Fractional Portion that results from applying the pro rata methodology shall be rounded up to a whole Share.
(c) Retirement .
(i) Upon termination of employment (or other active service-providing relationship, as applicable) by reason of the Participant’s Early Retirement, unless contrary to applicable law and unless otherwise provided by the Committee either initially or subsequent to the grant of RSUs, with respect to each Tranche that is unvested as of the Early Retirement date, a pro-rata portion of such Tranche (i.e. based on the ratio of (x) the number of full or partial months worked by the Participant from the Date of Grant to the Early Retirement date to (y) the total number of months in the original time-based vesting schedule of such Tranche) will vest as of the Time-Based Vesting Date for such Tranche.
(ii) Upon termination of employment (or other active service-providing relationship) by reason of the Participant’s Normal Retirement, unless contrary to applicable law and

3


unless otherwise provided by the Committee either initially or subsequent to the grant of the RSUs, with respect to each Tranche that is unvested as of the Normal Retirement date, such Tranche will vest as of the Time-Based Vesting Date for such Tranche.
(d) Gross Misconduct . If the Participant’s employment with the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary is terminated for Gross Misconduct as determined by the Administrator, the Administrator in its sole discretion may provide that all, or any portion specified by the Administrator, of the Participant’s unvested RSUs shall automatically terminate as of the time of termination without consideration. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant’s termination of employment shall also be deemed to be a termination of employment by reason of the Participant’s Gross Misconduct if, after the Participant’s employment has terminated, facts and circumstances are discovered or confirmed by the Company that would have justified a termination for Gross Misconduct.
(e) Violation of Post-Termination Covenant . To the extent that any of the Participant’s RSUs remain outstanding under the terms of the Plan or this Agreement after the Termination Date, such RSUs shall expire as of the date the Participant violates any covenant not to compete or other post-termination covenant that exists between the Participant on the one hand and the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, on the other hand.
(f) Substantial Corporate Change . Upon a Substantial Corporate Change, the Participant’s unvested RSUs will terminate unless provision is made in writing in connection with such transaction for the assumption or continuation of the RSUs, or the substitution for such RSUs of any options or grants covering the stock or securities of a successor employer corporation, or a parent or subsidiary of such successor, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares of stock and prices, in which event the RSUs will continue in the manner and under the terms so provided.
5. Non-Transferability of RSUs . Unless the Committee determines otherwise in advance in writing, RSUs may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the applicable laws of descent or distribution. The terms of the Plan and this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs and permitted successors and assigns of the Participant.
6. Amendment of RSUs or Plan .
(a) The Plan and this Agreement constitute the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Participant expressly warrants that he or she is not accepting this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein. The Board may amend, modify or terminate the Plan or the RSUs in any respect at any time; provided, however, that modifications to this Agreement or the Plan that materially and adversely affect the Participant’s rights hereunder can be made only in an express written contract signed by the Company and the Participant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise this Agreement and the Participant’s rights under outstanding RSUs as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Participant, (1) upon a Substantial Corporate Change, (2) as required by law, or (3) to comply with Section 409A or to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A in connection with the RSUs.
(b) The Participant acknowledges and agrees that if the Participant changes classification from a full-time employee to a part-time employee the Committee may in its sole discretion reduce or eliminate the Participant’s unvested RSUs.
7. Tax Obligations .
(a) Withholding Taxes . Regardless of any action the Company or any Eligible Subsidiary employing the Participant (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all federal, state, local or foreign income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other Tax Related-Items (“Tax-

4


Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax Related-Items associated with the RSUs is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and that the Company and the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Related-Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the RSUs, the delivery of Shares, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired at vesting and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax Related-Items. Further, if the Participant is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax Related-Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(i) This Section 7(a)(i) shall apply to the Participant only if the Participant is not subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the date the relevant RSU first becomes includible in the gross income of the Participant for purposes of Tax Related-Items. The Participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an RSU first becomes includible in the gross income of the Participant for purposes of Tax Related-Items, pay to the Company and/or the Employer, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, all Tax Related-Items required by applicable law to be withheld by the Company and/or the Employer with respect to the RSU.  The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on the making of such payments or arrangements, and the Company and/or the Employer shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, have the right to deduct any such Tax Related-Items from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant.  The Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any applicable withholding requirements related thereto.  With the approval of the Administrator, the Participant may satisfy the foregoing requirement by either (i) electing to have the Company withhold from delivery of Shares or (ii) delivering already owned unrestricted Shares, in each case, having a value equal to the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld (or such other rate that will not cause adverse accounting consequences for the Company).  Any such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date as of which the amount of Tax Related-Items to be withheld is determined.  Such an election may be made with respect to all or any portion of the Shares to be delivered pursuant to the RSUs.  The Company may also use any other method or combination of methods of obtaining the necessary payment or proceeds, as permitted by applicable law, to satisfy its withholding obligation with respect to any RSU.
(ii) This Section 7(a)(ii) shall apply to the Participant only if the Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the date the relevant RSU first becomes includible in the gross income of the Participant for purposes of Tax Related-Items. All Tax Related-Items legally payable by the Participant in respect of the RSUs shall be satisfied by the Company, withholding a number of the Shares that would otherwise be delivered to the Participant upon the vesting or settlement of the RSUs with a Fair Market Value, determined as of the date of the relevant taxable event, equal to the minimum statutory withholding amount that applies to the Participant, rounded up to the nearest whole share (“Net Settlement”). The Net Settlement mechanism described in this paragraph was approved by the Committee prior to the Date of Grant in a manner intended to constitute “approval in advance” by the Committee for purposes of Rule 16b3-(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(iii) If the obligation for Tax Related-Items is satisfied by net settlement, for tax purposes, the Participant shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares issued upon vesting of the RSUs notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax Related-Items.
(b) Code Section 409A . Payments made pursuant to this Plan and the Agreement are intended to qualify for an exemption from or comply with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement, the Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or this Agreement to ensure that all RSUs granted to Participants who are United States taxpayers are made in such a manner that either qualifies for exemption from or complies with Section 409A; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations that the Plan or the RSUs shall be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to the Plan or any RSUs granted thereunder. If this

5


Agreement fails to meet the requirements of Section 409A, neither the Company nor any of its Eligible Subsidiaries shall have any liability for any tax, penalty or interest imposed on the Participant by Section 409A, and the Participant shall have no recourse against the Company or any of its Eligible Subsidiaries for payment of any such tax, penalty or interest imposed by Section 409A.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, these provisions shall apply to any payments and benefits otherwise payable to or provided to the Participant under this Agreement. For purposes of Section 409A, each “payment” (as defined by Section 409A) made under this Agreement shall be considered a “separate payment.” In addition, for purposes of Section 409A, payments shall be deemed exempt from the definition of deferred compensation under Section 409A to the fullest extent possible under (i) the “short-term deferral” exemption of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4), and (ii) (with respect to amounts paid as separation pay no later than the second calendar year following the calendar year containing the Participant’s “separation from service” (as defined for purposes of Section 409A)) the “two years/two-times” involuntary separation pay exemption of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), which are hereby incorporated by reference.
For purposes of making a payment under this Agreement, if any amount is payable as a result of a Substantial Corporate Change, such event must also constitute a “change in ownership or effective control” of the Company or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A.
If the Participant is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A (and as applied according to procedures of the Company and its Subsidiaries) as of his or her separation from service, to the extent any payment under this Agreement constitutes deferred compensation (after taking into account any applicable exemptions from Section 409A), and such payment is payable by reason of a separation from service, then to the extent required by Section 409A, no payments due under this Agreement may be made until the earlier of: (i) the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s separation from service, or (ii) the Participant’s date of death; provided, however, that any payments delayed during this six-month period shall be paid in the aggregate in a lump sum, without interest, on the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s separation from service.
8. Rights as Shareholder . Until all requirements for vesting of the RSUs pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan have been satisfied, the Participant shall not be deemed to be a shareholder of the Company, and shall have no dividend rights or voting rights with respect to the RSUs or any Shares underlying or issuable in respect of such RSUs until such Shares are actually issued to the Participant.
9. No Employment Contract . Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement constitutes an employment contract between the Company and the Participant and this Agreement shall not confer upon the Participant any right to continuation of employment with the Company or any of its Eligible Subsidiaries, nor shall this Agreement interfere in any way with the Company’s or any of its Eligible Subsidiaries right to terminate the Participant’s employment or at any time, with or without cause (subject to any employment agreement the Participant may otherwise have with the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary thereof and/or applicable law).
10. Board Authority . The Board and/or the Committee shall have the power to interpret this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Agreement as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether any RSUs have vested). All interpretations and determinations made by the Board and/or the Committee in good faith shall be final and binding upon the Participant, the Company and all other interested persons and such determinations of the Board and/or the Committee do not have to be uniform nor do they have to consider whether Plan participants are similarly situated.
11. Headings . The captions used in this Agreement and the Plan are inserted for convenience and shall not be deemed to be a part of the RSUs for construction and interpretation.
12. Electronic Delivery .

6


(a) If the Participant executes this Agreement electronically, for the avoidance of doubt, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that his or her execution of this Agreement electronically (through an on-line system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company, or otherwise) shall have the same binding legal effect as would execution of this Agreement in paper form. The Participant acknowledges that upon request of the Company he or she shall also provide an executed, paper form of this Agreement.
(b) If the Participant executes this Agreement in paper form, for the avoidance of doubt the parties acknowledge and agree that it is their intent that any agreement previously or subsequently entered into between the parties that is executed electronically shall have the same binding legal effect as if such agreement were executed in paper form.
(c) If the Participant executes this Agreement multiple times (for example, if the Participant first executes this Agreement in electronic form and subsequently executes this Agreement in paper form), the Participant acknowledges and agrees that (i) no matter how many versions of this Agreement are executed and in whatever medium, this Agreement only evidences a single Award relating to the number of RSUs set forth in the Grant Notice and (ii) this Agreement shall be effective as of the earliest execution of this Agreement by the parties, whether in paper form or electronically, and the subsequent execution of this Agreement in the same or a different medium shall in no way impair the binding legal effect of this Agreement as of the time of original execution.
(d) The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver by electronic means any documents related to the RSUs, to participation in the Plan, or to future awards granted under the Plan, or otherwise required to be delivered to the Participant pursuant to the Plan or under applicable law, including but not limited to, the Plan, this Agreement, the Plan prospectus and any reports of the Company generally provided to shareholders. Such means of electronic delivery may include, but do not necessarily include, the delivery of a link to the Company’s intranet or the internet site of a third party involved in administering the Plan, the delivery of documents via electronic mail (“e-mail”) or such other means of electronic delivery specified by the Company. By executing this Agreement, the Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery. At the Participant’s written request to the Secretary of the Company, the Company shall provide a paper copy of any document at no cost to the Participant.
13. Data Privacy . The Company is located at 200 S. Kraemer Blvd., Building E, Brea, California 92821, United States of America and grants RSUs under the Plan to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries in its sole discretion. In conjunction with the Company’s grant of the RSUs under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such awards, the Company is providing the following information about its data collection, processing and transfer practices (“Personal Data Activities”). In accepting the grant of the RSUs, the Participant expressly and explicitly consents to the Personal Data Activities as described herein.
(a) Data Collection, Processing and Usage . The Company collects, processes and uses the Participant’s personal data, including the Participant’s name, home address, e-mail address, and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all RSUs or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, which the Company receives from the Participant or the Employer. In granting the RSUs under the Plan, the Company will collect the Participant’s personal data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the collection, processing and usage of the Participant’s personal data is the Participant’s consent.
(b) Stock Plan Administration Service Provider . The Company transfers the Participant’s personal data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services LLC, an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Stock Plan Administrator”). In the future, the Company may select a different Stock Plan Administrator and share the Participant’s personal data with another company that serves in a

7


similar manner. The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for the Participant to receive and trade Shares acquired under the Plan. The Participant will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a condition to the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.
(c) International Data Transfers . The Company and the Stock Plan Administrator are based in the United States. The Participant should note that the Participant’s country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Participant’s personal data to the United States is the Participant’s consent.
(d) Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal . The Participant’s participation in the Plan and his or her grant of consent is purely voluntary. The Participant may deny or withdraw his or her consent at any time. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later withdraws his or her consent, the Participant may be unable to participate in the Plan. This would not affect the Participant’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Participant merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.
(e) Data Subjects Rights . The Participant may have a number of rights under the data privacy laws in the Participant’s country of residence. For example, the Participant’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Participant’s country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Participant’s personal data. To receive clarification regarding the Participant’s rights or to exercise his or her rights, the Participant should contact his or her local human resources department.
14. Waiver of Right to Jury Trial . EACH PARTY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY RIGHT OR EXPECTATION AGAINST THE OTHER TO TRIAL OR ADJUDICATION BY A JURY OF ANY CLAIM, CAUSE OR ACTION ARISING WITH RESPECT TO THE RSUS OR HEREUNDER, OR THE RIGHTS, DUTIES OR LIABILITIES CREATED HEREBY.
15. Agreement Severable . In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
16. Governing Law and Venue . The laws of the State of Delaware (other than its choice of law provisions) shall govern this Agreement and its interpretation. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises with respect to the RSUs, this Agreement or the Plan, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Delaware, and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of New Castle County, or the United States Federal court for the District of Delaware, and no other courts; and waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that the laying of the venue of any legal or equitable proceedings related to, concerning or arising from such dispute which is brought in any such court is improper or that such proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum. Any claim under the Plan, this Agreement or the RSUs must be commenced by the Participant within twelve (12) months of the earliest date on which the Participant’s claim first arises, or the Participant’s cause of action accrues, or such claim will be deemed waived by the Participant.
17. Nature of RSUs . In accepting the RSUs, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b) the award of RSUs is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of RSUs or benefits in lieu of RSUs, even if RSUs have been awarded in the past;

8


(c) all decisions with respect to future equity awards, if any, shall be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d) the Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;
(e) the award of RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs, and the income from and value of same, are an extraordinary item that (i) does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or any Subsidiary, and (ii) is outside the scope of the Participant’s employment or service contract, if any;
(f) the award of RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs, and the income from and value of same are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, holiday pay, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or any Subsidiary;
(g) the award of RSUs and any Shares acquired under the Plan, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace or supplement any pension rights or compensation
(h) unless otherwise expressly agreed with the Company, the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, any service the Participant may provide as a director of any Subsidiary;
(i) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(j) the value of the Shares acquired upon vesting/settlement of the RSUs may increase or decrease in value;
(k) in consideration of the award of RSUs, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the RSUs or from any diminution in value of the RSUs or the Shares upon vesting of the RSUs resulting from termination of the Participant’s employment or continuous service with the Company or any Subsidiary (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of applicable labor laws of the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the RSUs, the Participant agrees not to institute any claim against the Company or any Subsidiary; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing the Agreement/electronically accepting the Agreement, Participant shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived the Participant’s entitlement to pursue or seek remedy for any such claim; and
(l) neither the Company, the Employer nor any other Eligible Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the RSUs or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon vesting.
18. Language . The Participant acknowledges that he or she is proficient in the English language and understands the terms of this Agreement. If the Participant has received the Plan, this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control, unless otherwise prescribed by applicable law.
19. Severability . The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

9


20. Waiver . The Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the Participant or any other participant.
21. Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws . By accepting the RSUs, the Participant acknowledges that the Participant is bound by all the terms and conditions of any Company insider trading policy as may be in effect from time to time. The Participant further acknowledges that, depending on the Participant’s country, the Participant may be or may become subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect the Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., RSUs) or rights linked to the value of Shares under the Plan during such times as the Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the applicable jurisdictions). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant placed before the Participant possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, which may include fellow employees and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any Company insider trading policy as may be in effect from time to time. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s personal responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and the Participant should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.
22. Legal and Tax Compliance; Cooperation . If the Participant resides or is employed outside of the United States, the Participant agrees, as a condition of the grant of the RSUs, to repatriate all payments attributable to the Shares and/or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends and any proceeds derived from the sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs) if required by and in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in the Participant ‘s country of residence (and country of employment, if different). In addition, the Participant also agrees to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Eligible Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and its Eligible Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different). Finally, the Participant agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Participant’s personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in the Participant ‘s country of residence (and country of employment, if different).
23. Private Offering . The grant of the RSUs is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different). The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filing with the local securities authorities with respect to the grant of the RSUs (unless otherwise required under local law). No employee of the Company is permitted to advise the Participant on whether the Participant should acquire Shares under the Plan or provide the Participant with any legal, tax or financial advice with respect to the grant of the RSUs. Investment in Shares involves a degree of risk. Before deciding to acquire Shares pursuant to the RSUs, the Participant should carefully consider all risk factors and tax considerations relevant to the acquisition of Shares under the Plan or the disposition of them. Further, the Participant should carefully review all of the materials related to the RSUs and the Plan, and the Participant should consult with the Participant’s personal legal, tax and financial advisors for professional advice in relation to the Participant’s personal circumstances.
24. Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements and Exchange Controls . The Participant’s country may have certain foreign asset/ account reporting requirements and exchange controls which may affect the Participant’s ability to acquire or hold Shares under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including any dividends paid on Shares, sale proceeds resulting from the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Participant’s country. The Participant may be required to report such accounts, assets, or transactions to the tax or other authorities in the Participant’s country. The Participant may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan to the Participant’s country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s responsibility to

10


be compliant with such regulations and the Participant should consult his or her personal legal advisor for any details.
25. Addendums . Notwithstanding any provisions in the Agreement, the RSUs and any Shares subject to the RSUs shall be subject to any special terms and conditions for the Participant’s country of employment and country of residence, if different, as set forth in the addenda attached hereto. Moreover, if the Participant relocates to one of the countries included in such addenda, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons and provided the imposition of the term or condition will not result in any adverse accounting expense with respect to the RSUs (or the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Participant’s transfer). All addenda attached hereto constitute part of this Agreement.
26. Imposition of Other Requirements . The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the RSUs and on any Shares subject to the RSUs, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons and provided the imposition of the term or condition will not result in any adverse accounting expense to the Company, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
27. Recoupment . The RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement are subject to the terms of the Envista Holdings Corporation Recoupment Policy in the form approved by the Committee from time to time (including any successor thereto, the “Policy”) if and to the extent such Policy by its terms applies to the RSUs, and to the terms required by applicable law; and the terms of the Policy and such applicable law are incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof. For purposes of the foregoing, the Participant expressly and explicitly authorizes the Company to issue instructions, on the Participant’s behalf, to any brokerage firm and/or third party administrator engaged by the Company to hold the Participant’s Shares and other amounts acquired pursuant to the Participant’s RSUs, to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such Shares and/or other amounts to the Company upon the Company’s enforcement of the Policy. To the extent that the Agreement and the Policy conflict, the terms of the Policy shall prevail.

The Company may, directly or through its third party stock plan administrator, endeavor to provide certain notices to the Participant regarding certain events relating to awards that the Participant may have received or may in the future receive under the Plan, such as notices reminding the Participant of the vesting or expiration date of certain awards. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that (1) the Company has no obligation (whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) to provide any such notices; (2) to the extent the Company does provide any such notices to the Participant the Company does not thereby assume any obligation to provide any such notices or other notices; and (3) the Company, its Subsidiaries and the third party stock plan administrator have no liability for, and the Participant has no right whatsoever (whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) to make any claim against the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or the third party stock plan administrator based on any allegations of, damages or harm suffered by the Participant as a result of the Company’s failure to provide any such notices or the Participant’s failure to receive any such notices. The Participant further agrees to notify the Company upon any change in his or her residence address.
29. Limitations on Liability . Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan or this Agreement, no individual acting as a director, employee, or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will be liable to the Participant or the Participant’s spouse, beneficiary, or any other person or entity for any claim, loss, liability, or expense incurred in connection with the Plan, nor will such individual be personally liable because of any contract or other instrument he or she executes in such other capacity. No member of the Board or of the Committee will be liable for any action or determination (including, but limited to, any decision not to act) made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any RSUs.

ADDENDUM A
This Addendum includes additional terms and conditions that govern the RSUs granted to the Participant if the Participant works and/or resides in one of the countries listed herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Grant Notice, the Agreement or the Plan.
This Addendum may also include information regarding exchange controls, tax and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect as of November 2018. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant not rely on the information contained herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Participant’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the Participant vests in the RSUs or sells Shares acquired under the Plan.
In addition, this Addendum is general in nature and may not apply to the Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, the Participant should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant’s country apply to the Participant’s specific situation.
If the Participant is a citizen or resident (or is considered as such for local tax purposes) of a country other than the one in which the Participant is currently residing and/or working, or if the Participant transfers employment and/or residency to another country after the grant of the RSUs, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Participant in the same manner.
EUROPEAN UNION (“EU”) / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA (“EEA”)
Data Privacy
If the Participant resides and/or is employed in the EU / EEA, the following provision replaces Section 13 of the Agreement:
The Company is located at 200 S. Kraemer Blvd., Building E, Brea California 92821 and grants RSUs under the Plan to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries in its sole discretion. The Participant should review the following information about the Company’s data processing practices.
(a) Data Collection, Processing and Usage . Pursuant to applicable data protection laws, the Participant is hereby notified that the Company collects, processes, and uses certain personally-identifiable information about the Participant; specifically, including the Participant’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all RSUs or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, which the Company receives from the Participant or the Employer. In granting the RSUs under the Plan, the Company will collect the Participant’s personal data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company collects, processes and uses the Participant’s personal data pursuant to the Company’s legitimate interest of managing the Plan and generally administering employee equity awards and to satisfy its contractual obligations under the terms of this Agreement. The Participant’s refusal to provide personal data may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. As such, by participating in the Plan, the Participant voluntarily acknowledges the collection, processing and use, of the Participant’s personal data as described herein.
(b) Stock Plan Administration Service Provider . The Company transfers participant data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services LLC, an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Stock Plan Administrator”). In the future, the Company may select a different Stock Plan Administrator

14


and share the Participant’s personal data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for the Participant to receive and trade Shares acquired under the Plan. The Participant will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a condition to the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.
(c) International Data Transfers . The Company and the Stock Plan Administrator are based in the United States. The Company can only meet its contractual obligations to the Participant if the Participant’s personal data is transferred to the United States. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Participant’s personal data to the United States is to satisfy its contractual obligations under the terms of this Agreement and/or its use of the standard data protection clauses adopted by the EU Commission.
(d) Data Retention . The Company will use the Participant’s personal data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs the Participant’s personal data, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps the Participant’s data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be for compliance with relevant laws or regulations.
(e) Data Subjects Rights . The Participant may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Participant’s country of residence. For example, the Participant’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Participant’s country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Participant’s personal data. To receive clarification regarding the Participant’s rights or to exercise his or her rights, the Participant should contact his or her local human resources department.
ARGENTINA
Labor Law Acknowledgement
This provision supplements Section 17 of the Agreement:
In accepting the RSUs, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the grant of RSUs is made by the Company (not the Employer) in its sole discretion and that the value of the RSUs or any Shares acquired under the Plan shall not constitute salary or wages for any purpose under Argentine labor law, including, but not limited to, the calculation of (i) any labor benefits including, without limitation, vacation pay, thirteenth salary, compensation in lieu of notice, annual bonus, disability, and leave of absence payments, etc., or (ii) any termination or severance indemnities or similar payments.
If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any benefits under the Plan are considered as salary or wages for any purpose under Argentine labor law, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that such benefits shall not accrue more frequently than on the relevant Vesting Date(s).
Securities Law Notice
The Participant understands that neither the grant of the RSUs nor Shares issued pursuant to the RSUs constitute a public offering as defined by the Law N° 17,811, or any other Argentine law. The offering of the RSUs is a private placement and the underlying Shares are not listed on any stock exchange in Argentina. As such, the offering is not subject to the supervision of any Argentine governmental authority.

15


Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information
If the Participant holds the Shares as of December 31 of any year, the Participant is required to report the holding of the Shares on his or her personal tax return for the relevant year.
AUSTRALIA
RSUs Conditioned on Satisfaction of Regulatory Obligations
If the Participant is (a) a director of a Subsidiary incorporated in Australia, or (b) a person who is a management-level executive of a Subsidiary incorporated in Australia and who also is a director of a Subsidiary incorporated outside of Australia, the grant of the RSUs is conditioned upon satisfaction of the shareholder approval provisions of section 200B of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) in Australia.
Termination
Section 4(c) of this Agreement (Retirement) shall not apply to any Participant who as of the Date of Grant is on permanent, non-temporary assignment in Australia.

Tax Information
The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) (the “Act”) applies (subject to the conditions in that Act).
Exchange Control Notice
Exchange control reporting is required for cash transactions exceeding A$10,000 and international fund transfers of any amount. The Australian bank assisting with the transaction will file the report for the Participant. If there is no Australian bank involved in the transfer, the Participant will be responsible for filing the report.
AUSTRIA
Termination
Section 4(c)(i) of this Agreement (regarding Early Retirement) shall not apply to any Participant who as of the Date of Grant is on permanent, non-temporary assignment in Austria. Instead, the provisions of Section 4(a) (General), shall apply, notwithstanding the provisions therein regarding Early Retirement to the contrary.
For purposes of applying the Plan and Section 4(c)(ii) of this Agreement (regarding Normal Retirement) to such Participant, the definition of “Normal Retirement” set forth in the Plan shall not apply and instead “Normal Retirement” shall mean such Participant’s attainment of the statutory retirement age in Austria. In the absence of a statutory retirement age in such jurisdiction, “Normal Retirement” shall mean attainment of the customary age for retirement in Austria.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that subsequent to the Date of Grant such Participant works in a jurisdiction other than in Austria, if required to comply with applicable law, the Committee shall have sole and absolute discretion to instead apply to such Participant the retirement provisions of this Agreement that are applicable in such other jurisdiction.
Exchange Control Notice
If the Participant holds Shares acquired under the Plan outside of Austria, the Participant must submit a report to the Austrian National Bank. An exemption applies if the value of the Shares as of any given quarter does not exceed €30,000,000 or as of December 31 does not exceed €5,000,000. If the former threshold is exceeded, quarterly obligations are imposed, whereas if the latter threshold is exceeded, annual reports must be given. The deadline for filing the quarterly report is the 15th day of the month following the end of the

16


respective quarter. The annual reporting date is December 31 and the deadline for filing the annual report is January 31 of the following year.
When the Participant sells Shares acquired under the Plan or receives a dividend payment, there may be exchange control obligations if the cash proceeds are held outside of Austria. If the transaction volume of all accounts abroad exceeds €10,000,000, the movements and balances of all accounts must be reported monthly, as of the last day of the month, on or before the fifteenth day of the following month, on the prescribed form ( Meldungen SI-Forderungen und/oder SI-Verpflichtungen ).
BELGIUM
Termination
Section 4(c)(i) of this Agreement (regarding Early Retirement) shall not apply to any Participant who as of the Date of Grant is on permanent, non-temporary assignment in Belgium. Instead, the provisions of Section 4(a) (General), shall apply, notwithstanding the provisions therein regarding Early Retirement to the contrary.
For purposes of applying the Plan and Section 4(c)(ii) of this Agreement (regarding Normal Retirement) to such Participant, the definition of “Normal Retirement” set forth in the Plan shall not apply and instead “Normal Retirement” shall mean such Participant’s attainment of the statutory retirement age in Belgium. In the absence of a statutory retirement age in such jurisdiction, “Normal Retirement” shall mean attainment of the customary age for retirement in Belgium.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that subsequent to the Date of Grant such Participant works in a jurisdiction other than in Belgium, if required to comply with applicable law, the Committee shall have sole and absolute discretion to instead apply to such Participant the retirement provisions of this Agreement that are applicable in such other jurisdiction.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information
The Participant is required to report any securities (e.g., Shares acquired under the Plan) or bank accounts (including brokerage accounts) opened and maintained outside of Belgium on his or her annual tax return. The Participant will also be required to complete a separate report, providing the National Bank of Belgium with details regarding any such account (including the account number, the name of the bank in which such account is held and the country in which such account is located). This report, as well as additional information on how to complete it, can be found on the website of the National Bank of Belgium, www.nbb.be, under Kredietcentrales / Centrales des crédits caption.
Stock Exchange Tax Information
A stock exchange tax applies to transactions executed by a Belgian resident through a non-Belgian financial intermediary, such as a U.S. broker. The stock exchange tax will apply when Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs are sold. The Participant should consult with a personal tax or financial advisor for additional details on the Participant’s obligations with respect to the stock exchange tax.
Brokerage Account Tax Information
Belgian residents are subject to a brokerage account tax if the average annual value of securities (including Shares acquired under the Plan) held by such resident in a brokerage account exceeds certain thresholds. As the calculation of this tax is complex, the Participant should consult with the Participant’s personal tax or financial advisor for details on the applicability of this tax.

17


BRAZIL
Labor Law Policy and Acknowledgment
This provision supplements Section 17 of the Agreement:
By accepting the RSUs, the Participant agrees that he or she is (i) making an investment decision; (ii) the Shares will be issued to the Participant only if the Vesting Conditions are met and (iii) the value of the underlying Shares is not fixed and may increase or decrease in value over the vesting period without compensation to the Participant.
Compliance with Law
By accepting the RSUs, the Participant acknowledges that he or she agrees to comply with applicable Brazilian laws and to pay any and all applicable taxes associated with the vesting of the RSUs, and the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan and the receipt of any dividends.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information
If the Participant is a resident or domiciled in Brazil, the Participant may be required to submit an annual declaration of assets and rights held outside of Brazil to the Central Bank of Brazil. If the aggregate value of such assets and rights is US$100,000 or more but less than US$100,000,000, a declaration must be submitted annually. If the aggregate value exceeds US$100,000,000, a declaration must be submitted quarterly.
CANADA
RSUs Payable Only in Shares
RSUs granted to Participants in Canada shall be paid in Shares only. In no event shall any of such RSUs be paid in cash, notwithstanding any discretion contained in the Plan, or any provision in the Agreement to the contrary.
The following two provisions apply if the Participant is a resident of Quebec:
Consent to Receive Information in English
The parties acknowledge that it is their express wish that the Agreement, as well as all documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant hereto or relating directly or indirectly hereto, be written in English.
Les parties reconnaissent avoir exigé la rédaction en anglais du présent Contrat, ainsi que de tous documents exécutés, avis donnés ou procédures judiciaires intentées, en vertu du, ou liés directement ou indirectement, au présent Contrat.
Data Privacy
The following provision supplements Section 13 of the Agreement:
The Participant hereby authorizes the Company and the Company’s representatives to discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or not, involved in the administration and operation of the Participant’s awards under the Plan. The Participant further authorizes the Company, its Subsidiaries, and the Stock Plan Administrator, to disclose and discuss the Participant’s participation in the Plan with their respective advisors. The Participant further authorizes the Company and its Subsidiaries to record such information and to keep such information in his or her employee file.

18


Securities Law Notice
The Participant is permitted to sell Shares acquired under the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any (or any other broker acceptable to the Company), provided the resale of Shares acquired under the Plan takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares is listed. The Shares are currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information
Foreign property, including the RSUs, Shares acquired under the Plan, and other rights to receive shares of a non-Canadian company held by a Canadian resident must generally be reported annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. Thus, unvested RSUs must be reported - generally at a nil cost - if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because the Participant holds other foreign property. When Shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Shares. The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the Shares at the time of acquisition, but if the Participant owns other shares of the Company, this ACB may need to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares. The Participant should consult his or her personal legal advisor to ensure compliance with applicable reporting obligations.
CHILE
Securities Law Notice
The grant of the RSUs is not intended to be a public offering of securities in Chile but instead is intended to be a private placement.
a)
The starting date of the offer will be the Date of Grant (as defined in the Agreement), and this offer conforms to General Ruling No. 336 of the Chilean Commission of the Financial Market (“CMF”);
b)
The offer deals with securities not registered in the Registry of Securities or in the Registry of Foreign Securities of the CMF, and therefore such securities are not subject to its oversight;
c)
The issuer is not obligated to provide public information in Chile regarding the foreign securities, as such securities are not registered with the CMF; and
d)
The foreign securities shall not be subject to public offering as long as they are not registered with the corresponding registry of securities in Chile.
a)
La fecha de inicio de la oferta será el de la fecha de otorgamiento (o “Date of Grant”, según este término se define en el documento denominado “Agreement”) y esta oferta se acoge a la norma de Carácter General N° 336 de la Comisión para el Mercado Financiero de Chile (“CMF”);
b)
La oferta versa sobre valores no inscritos en el Registro de Valores o en el Registro de Valores Extranjeros que lleva la CMF, por lo que tales valores no están sujetos a la fiscalización de ésta;

Por tratar de valores no inscritos en la CMF no existe la obligación por parte del emisor de entregar en Chile información pública respecto de esos valores; y
d)
Esos valores no podrán ser objeto de oferta pública mientras no sean inscritos en el registro de valores correspondiente.
Exchange Control Notice
According to the International Exchange Transaction Regulations (“IETR”) issued by the Central Bank of Chile, it is arguable whether the acquisition of the Shares for which the Participant does not remit funds abroad represents an “investment operation”. In case the acquisition qualifies as an investment operation under the IETR and the aggregate value of any Shares exceeds US$10,000, the Participant must sign Annex

19


1 of the Manual of Chapter XII of the Foreign Exchange Regulations and file it directly with the Central Bank within the first ten (10) days of the month following the settlement of the RSUs.
The Participant is not required to repatriate funds obtained from the sale of Shares or the receipt of any dividends to Chile. However, if the Participant decides to repatriate such funds, the Participant must do so through the Formal Exchange Market if the amount of the funds exceeds US$10,000. In such case, the Participant must report the payment to a commercial bank or registered foreign exchange office receiving the funds. However, if the Participant does not repatriate the funds and uses such funds for the payment of other obligations contemplated under a different Chapter of the Foreign Exchange Regulations, the Participant must sign Annex 1 of the Manual of Chapter XII of the Foreign Exchange Regulations and file it directly with the Central Bank of Chile within the first ten (10) days of the month immediately following the transaction.
If the Participant’s aggregate investments held outside of Chile exceeds US$5,000,000 (including the value of Shares acquired under the Plan), the Participant must report the investments annually to the Central Bank. Annex 3.1 of Chapter XII of the Foreign Exchange Regulations must be used to file this report.
Please note that exchange control regulations in Chile are subject to change. The Participant should consult with his or her personal legal advisor regarding any exchange control obligations that the Participant may have prior to the vesting of the RSUs.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information
The Chilean Internal Revenue Service (“CIRS”) requires all taxpayers to provide information annually regarding: (i) the taxes paid abroad which they will use as a credit against Chilean income taxes, and (ii) the results of foreign investments. These annual reporting obligations must be complied with by submitting a sworn statement setting forth this information before June 30 of each year, depending on the assets and/or taxes being reported. The forms to be used to submit the sworn statement are Tax Form 1853 “Annual Sworn Statement Regarding Credits for Taxes Paid Abroad” and Tax Form 1851 “Annual Sworn Statement Regarding Investments Held Abroad.” If the Participant is not a Chilean citizen and has been a resident in Chile for less than three (3) years, the Participant is exempt from the requirement to file Tax Form 1853. These statements must be submitted electronically through the CIRS website: www.sii.cl .
CHINA
Exchange Control Restrictions Applicable to Participants who are PRC Nationals
If the Participant is a local national of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), the Participant understands and agrees that upon RSU vesting the underlying Shares may be sold immediately or, at the Company’s discretion, at a later time. The Participant further agrees that the Company is authorized to instruct its designated broker to assist with the mandatory sale of such Shares (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization), and the Participant expressly authorizes such broker to complete the sale of such Shares. The Participant acknowledges that the Company’s designated broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of the Shares at any particular price. Upon the sale of the Shares, the Company agrees to pay the cash proceeds from the sale, less any brokerage fees or commissions, to the Participant in accordance with applicable exchange control laws and regulations and provided any liability for Tax Related-Items resulting from the vesting of the RSUs has been satisfied. Due to fluctuations in the Share price and/or the U.S. Dollar exchange rate between the Vesting Date and (if later) the date on which the Shares are sold, the sale proceeds may be more or less than the fair market value of the Shares on the Vesting Date. The Participant understands and agrees that the Company is not responsible for the amount of any loss the Participant may incur and that the Company assumes no liability for any fluctuations in the Share price and/or U.S. Dollar exchange rate.
The Participant understands and agrees that, due to exchange control laws in China, the Participant will be required to immediately repatriate to China the cash proceeds from the sale of any Shares acquired at vesting of the RSUs and any dividends received in relation to the Shares. The Participant further understands that, under local law, such repatriation of the cash proceeds may need to be effectuated through a special exchange

20


control account to be approved by the local foreign exchange administration, and the Participant hereby consents and agrees that the proceeds from the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan and any dividends received in relation to the Shares may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to the Participant. The proceeds may be paid to the Participant in U.S. Dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion. In the event the proceeds are paid to the Participant in U.S. Dollars, the Participant understands that he or she will be required to set up a U.S. Dollar bank account in China and provide the bank account details to the Employer and/or the Company so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. In addition, the Participant understands and agrees that the Participant will be responsible for converting the proceeds into Renminbi Yuan at the Participant’s expense.
If the proceeds are paid to the Participant in local currency, the Participant agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the Shares are sold or dividends are paid and the time the proceeds are distributed to the Participant through any such special account.
Exchange Control Notice Applicable to Participants in the PRC
If the Participant is a local national of the PRC, the Participant understands that exchange control restrictions may limit the Participant’s ability to access and/or convert funds received under the Plan, particularly if these amounts exceed US$50,000. The Participant should confirm the procedures and requirements for withdrawals and conversions of foreign currency with his or her local bank prior to the vesting of the RSUs/sale of Shares.
The Participant agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in the Peoples’ Republic of China.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information
PRC residents are required to report to SAFE details of their foreign financial assets and liabilities, as well as details of any economic transactions conducted with non-PRC residents, either directly or through financial institutions. The Participant may be subject to reporting obligations for the Shares or awards acquired under the Plan and Plan-related transactions. It is the Participant’s responsibility to comply with this reporting obligation and the Participant should consult his/her personal tax advisor in this regard.
COLOMBIA
Labor Law Acknowledgement
The following provision supplements Section 17 of the Agreement:
The Participant acknowledges that pursuant to Article 15 of Law 50/1990 (Article 128 of the Colombian Labor Code), the Plan, the RSUs, the underlying Shares, and any other amounts or payments granted or realized from participation in the Plan do not constitute a component of the Participant’s “salary” for any purpose. To this extent, they will not be included and/or considered for purposes of calculating any and all labor benefits, such as legal/fringe benefits, vacations, indemnities, payroll taxes, social insurance contributions or any other labor-related amount which may be payable.
Securities Law Notice
The Shares are not and will not be registered with the Colombian registry of publicly traded securities ( Registro Nacional de Valores y Emisores ), and therefore, the Shares cannot be offered to the public in Colombia. Nothing in the Agreement shall be construed as making a public offer of securities, or the promotion of financial products in Colombia.
Exchange Control Notice
Foreign investments must be registered with the Central Bank of Colombia ( Banco de la República ). Upon the subsequent sale or other disposition of investments held abroad, the registration with the Central Bank must be canceled, the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the Shares must be repatriated to

21


Colombia and the appropriate Central Bank form must be filed (usually with the Participant’s local bank). The Participant acknowledges that he or she personally is responsible for complying with Colombian exchange control requirements.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information
An annual informative return must be filed with the Colombian Tax Office detailing any assets held abroad (including the Shares acquired under the Plan). If the individual value of any of these assets exceeds a certain threshold, each asset must be described ( e.g., its nature and its value) and the jurisdiction in which it is located must be disclosed. The Participant acknowledges that he or she personally is responsible for complying with this tax reporting requirement.
CROATIA
Exchange Control Notice
The Participant must report any foreign investments (including Shares acquired under the Plan) to the Croatian National Bank for statistical purposes. However, because exchange control regulations may change without notice, the Participant should consult with his or her legal advisor to ensure compliance with current regulations. The Participant acknowledges that he or she personally is responsible for complying with Croatian exchange control laws.
Czech Republic
Termination
Section 4(c) of this Agreement (Retirement) shall not apply to any Participant who as of the Date of Grant is on permanent, non-temporary assignment in the Czech Republic. Instead, the provisions of Section 4(a) (General), shall apply, notwithstanding the provisions therein regarding Early Retirement and Normal Retirement to the contrary.
Exchange Control Notice
Upon request of the Czech National Bank (the “CNB”), the Participant may need to report the following to the CNB: foreign direct investments, financial credits from abroad, investment in foreign securities and associated collection and payments (Shares and proceeds from the sale of the Shares may be included in this reporting requirement). The Participant may need to report the following even in the absence of a request from the CNB: foreign direct investments with a value of CZK 2,500,000 or more in the aggregate or other foreign financial assets with a value of CZK 200,000,00 or more. Because exchange control regulations change frequently and without notice, the Participant should consult his or her personal legal advisor prior to vesting of the RSUs and the sale of Shares to ensure compliance with current regulations. It is the Participant’s responsibility to comply with Czech exchange control laws, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary will be liable for any resulting fines or penalties.
DENMARK
Danish Stock Option Act
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the treatment of the RSUs upon the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary, as applicable, shall be governed by the Danish Stock Option Act, as in effect at the time of the Participant’s termination (as determined by the Committee in its discretion in consultation with legal counsel). By accepting the RSUs, the Participant acknowledges that he or she has received a Danish translation of an Employer Statement, which is being provided to comply with the Danish Stock Option Act.
Termination

22


Section 4(c)(i) of this Agreement (regarding Early Retirement) shall not apply to any Participant who as of the Date of Grant is on permanent, non-temporary assignment in Denmark. Instead, the provisions of Section 4(a) (General), shall apply, notwithstanding the provisions therein regarding Early Retirement to the contrary.
For purposes of applying the Plan and Section 4(c)(ii) of this Agreement (regarding Normal Retirement) to such Participant, the definition of “Normal Retirement” set forth in the Plan shall not apply and instead “Normal Retirement” shall mean such Participant’s attainment of the statutory retirement age in Denmark. In the absence of a statutory retirement age in such jurisdiction, “Normal Retirement” shall mean attainment of the customary age for retirement in Denmark.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that subsequent to the Date of Grant such Participant works in a jurisdiction other than in Denmark, if required to comply with applicable law, the Committee shall have sole and absolute discretion to instead apply to such Participant the retirement provisions of this Agreement that are applicable in such other jurisdiction.

The grant of the RSUs is being made pursuant to the “Qualifying Person” exemption” under section 273(1)(f) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.) (“SFA”) and is not made to Participant with a view to the underlying Shares being subsequently offered for sale to any other party. The Plan has not been, and will not be, lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore. The Participant should note that the RSUs are subject to section 257 of the SFA and the Participant should not make (i) any subsequent sale of the Shares in Singapore or (ii) any offer of such subsequent sale of the Shares subject to the RSUs in Singapore, unless such sale or offer is made after six (6) months from the Date of Grant or pursuant to the exemptions under Part XIII Division 1 Subdivision (4) (other than section 280) of the SFA. The Company’s Common Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange, which is located outside of Singapore, under the ticker symbol “NVST” and the Shares acquired under the Plan may be sold through this exchange.
Chief Executive Officer and Director Notification Requirement

If the Participant is the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”), or a director, associate director, or shadow director if a Singapore Subsidiary of the Company, the Participant is subject to certain notification requirements under the Singapore Companies Act. Among these requirements is an obligation to notify the Singapore Subsidiary in writing when the Participant receives an interest (e.g., RSUs, Shares, etc.) in the Company or any related company. In addition, the Participant must notify the Singapore Subsidiary when the Participant sells the Shares of the Company or any related company (including when the Participant sells the Shares acquired under the Plan). These notifications must be made within two (2) business days of (i) its acquisition or disposal, (ii) any change in a previously-disclosed interest (e.g., upon vesting of the RSUs or when Shares acquired under the Plan are subsequently sold), or (iii) becoming the CEO / or a director.
SLOVAKIA
None.
SOUTH AFRICA
Tax Obligations
This provision supplements Section 7(a) of the Agreement:
By accepting the RSUs, the Participant agrees to immediately notify the Employer of the amount of any gain realized upon vesting of the RSUs. If the Participant fails to advise the Employer of the gain realized at vesting, the Participant may be liable for a fine. The Participant will be responsible for paying any difference between the actual tax liability and the amount of tax withheld by the Company or Employer.
Securities Law Notice
In compliance with South African securities laws, the documents listed below are available on the following websites:

i. a copy of the Company’s most recent annual report (i.e., Form 10-K) is available at: https://investors.envistaco.com/sec-filings;
ii. a copy of the Plan is attached as an exhibit to the Company’s annual report (i.e., Form 10-K) available at https://investors.envistaco.com/sec-filings; and

A copy of the above documents will be sent to the Participant free of charge on written request to 200 S. Kraemer Blvd., Building E, Brea, California 92821, Attention: Corporate Secretary.
The Participant should carefully read the materials provided before making a decision whether to participate in the Plan. In addition, the Participant should contact his or her tax advisor for specific information concerning the Participant’s personal tax situation with regard to Plan participation.
Exchange Control Notice
The RSUs may be subject to exchange control regulations in South Africa. In particular, if the Participant is a South African resident for exchange control purposes, he or she is required to obtain approval from the South African Reserve Bank for payments (including payments of proceeds from the sale of the Shares) that he or she receives into accounts based outside of South Africa (e.g., a U.S. brokerage account). Because exchange control regulations are subject to change, the Participant should consult with his or her personal advisor to ensure compliance with current regulations. The Participant is responsible for ensuring compliance with all exchange control laws in South Africa.
SPAIN

37


Termination
Section 4(c)(i) of this Agreement (regarding Early Retirement) shall not apply to any Participant who as of the Date of Grant is on permanent, non-temporary assignment in Spain. Instead, the provisions of Section 4(a) (General), shall apply, notwithstanding the provisions therein regarding Early Retirement to the contrary.
For purposes of applying the Plan and Section 4(c)(ii) of this Agreement (regarding Normal Retirement) to such Participant, the definition of “Normal Retirement” set forth in the Plan shall not apply and instead “Normal Retirement” shall mean such Participant’s attainment of the statutory retirement age in Spain. In the absence of a statutory retirement age in such jurisdiction, “Normal Retirement” shall mean attainment of the customary age for retirement in Spain.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that subsequent to the Date of Grant such Participant works in a jurisdiction other than in Spain, if required to comply with applicable law, the Committee shall have sole and absolute discretion to instead apply to such Participant the retirement provisions of this Agreement that are applicable in such other jurisdiction.
Nature of RSUs
This provision supplements Section 17 of the Agreement:
In accepting the grant of the RSUs, the Participant acknowledges that he or she consents to participation in the Plan and has received a copy of the Plan. The Participant understands that the Company, in its sole discretion, has unilaterally and gratuitously decided to grant RSUs under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any RSUs will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on an ongoing basis. Consequently, the Participant understands that the RSUs are granted on the assumption and condition that such RSUs and any Shares acquired upon vesting of the RSUs shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.
Further, as a condition of the grant of the RSUs, unless otherwise expressly provided for by the Company or set forth in the Agreement, the RSUs will be cancelled without entitlement to any Shares if the Participant terminates employment by reason of, including, but not limited to: resignation, retirement, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without cause ( i.e ., subject to a “despido improcedente”), material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute, Article 50 of the Workers’ Statute, or under Article 10.3 of Royal Decree 1382/1985. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the date when the Participant’s employment has terminated for purposes of the RSUs.
The Participant understands that the grant of the RSUs would not be granted but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Participant acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of, or right to, the RSUs shall be null and void.
Securities Law Notice
No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory in connection with the RSUs. The Plan, the Agreement (including this Addendum) and any other documents evidencing the grant of the RSUs have not, nor will they be, registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores , and none of those documents constitutes a public offering prospectus.
Exchange Control Notice
The Participant must declare the acquisition of the Shares to the Direccioìn General de Comercio e Inversiones (the “DGCI”) of the Ministry of Industry for statistical purposes. The Participant must also declare ownership

38


of any Shares with the Directorate of Foreign Transactions each January while the Shares are owned. In addition, if the Participant wishes to import the ownership title of the Shares (i.e., share certificates) into Spain, he or she must declare the importation of such securities to the DGCI. The sale of the Shares must also be declared to the DGCI by means of a form D-6 filed in January. The form D-6, generally, must be filed within one month after the sale if the Participant owns more than 10% of the share capital of the Company or his or her investment exceeds €1,502,530. In addition, the Participant may be required to electronically declare to the Bank of Spain any foreign accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), any foreign instruments (including Shares acquired under the Plan), and any transactions with non-Spanish residents, depending on the balances in such accounts together with the value of such instruments as of December 31 of the relevant year, or the volume of transactions with non-Spanish residents during the relevant year.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information
To the extent the Participant holds rights or assets (e.g., cash or the Shares held in a bank or brokerage account) outside of Spain with a value in excess of €50,000 per type of right or asset as of December 31 each year (or at any time during the year in which the Participant sells or disposes of such right or asset), the Participant is required to report information on such rights and assets on his or her tax return for such year. After such rights or assets are initially reported, the reporting obligation will only apply for subsequent years if the value of any previously-reported rights or assets increases by more than €20,000. The reporting must be completed by the following March 31. Failure to comply with this reporting requirement may result in penalties to the Spanish residents.
In addition, the Participant may be required to electronically declare to the Bank of Spain any foreign accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), any foreign instruments (including Shares acquired under the Plan), and any transactions with non-Spanish residents (including any payments of Shares made pursuant to the Plan), depending on the balances in such accounts together with the value of such instruments as of December 31 of the relevant year, or the volume of transactions with non-Spanish residents during the relevant year.
Spanish residents should consult with their personal tax and legal advisors to ensure compliance with their personal reporting obligations.
SWEDEN
Termination
Section 4(c)(i) of this Agreement (regarding Early Retirement) shall not apply to any Participant who as of the Date of Grant is on permanent, non-temporary assignment in Sweden. Instead, the provisions of Section 4(a) (General), shall apply, notwithstanding the provisions therein regarding Early Retirement to the contrary.
For purposes of applying the Plan and Section 4(c)(ii) of this Agreement (regarding Normal Retirement) to such Participant, the definition of “Normal Retirement” set forth in the Plan shall not apply and instead “Normal Retirement” shall mean such Participant’s attainment of the statutory retirement age in Sweden. In the absence of a statutory retirement age in such jurisdiction, “Normal Retirement” shall mean attainment of the customary age for retirement in Sweden.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that subsequent to the Date of Grant such Participant works in a jurisdiction other than in Sweden, if required to comply with applicable law, the Committee shall have sole and absolute discretion to instead apply to such Participant the retirement provisions of this Agreement that are applicable in such other jurisdiction.
SWITZERLAND
Securities Law Notice
The grant of the RSUs is considered a private offering in Switzerland and is therefore not subject to securities registration in Switzerland. Neither this document nor any other materials relating to the RSUs (i) constitute

39


a prospectus as such term is understood pursuant to the Swiss Code of Obligations, (ii) may be publicly distributed nor otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland, or (iii) has been or will be filed with, approved or supervised by any Swiss regulatory authority (in particular, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority).
TAIWAN
Securities Law Notice
The offer of participation in the Plan is available only for employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries. The offer of participation in the Plan is not a public offer of securities by a Taiwanese company.
Exchange Control Notice
If the Participant is a resident of Taiwan, he or she may acquire foreign currency, and remit the same out of or into Taiwan, up to US$5,000,000 per year without justification. If the transaction amount is TWD$500,000 or more in a single transaction, the Participant must submit a Foreign Exchange Transaction Form to the remitting bank. If the transaction amount is US$500,000 or more in a single transaction, the Participant may be required to provide additional supporting documentation to the satisfaction of the remitting bank.
THAILAND
Exchange Control Notice
Thai residents realizing US$50,000 or more in a single transaction from the sale of Shares or the payment of dividends are required to repatriate the funds to Thailand immediately following the receipt of the funds and to then either convert such repatriated funds into Thai Baht or deposit the funds into a foreign currency account opened with any commercial bank in Thailand within 360 days of repatriation. Any such commercial bank must be duly authorized by the Bank of Thailand to engage in the purchase, exchange and withdrawal of foreign currency. Further, for repatriated funds of US$50,000 or more, the Participant must specifically report the inward remittance by submitting the Foreign Exchange Transaction Form to an authorized agent, i.e., a commercial bank authorized by the Bank of Thailand to engage in the purchase, exchange and withdrawal of foreign currency.
If the Participant does not comply with this obligation, the Participant may be subject to penalties assessed by the Bank of Thailand. Because exchange control regulations change frequently and without notice, the Participant should consult a legal advisor before selling Shares to ensure compliance with current regulations. It is the Participant’s responsibility to comply with exchange control laws in Thailand, and neither the Company nor any Parent or Subsidiary will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from the Participant’s failure to comply with applicable laws.
TURKEY
Securities Law Notice
Under Turkish law, the Participant is not permitted to sell Shares acquired under the Plan in Turkey. The Shares are currently traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “NVST” and the Shares may be sold through this exchange.
Exchange Control Notice
In certain circumstances, Turkish residents are permitted to sell the Shares traded on a non-Turkish stock exchange only through a financial intermediary licensed in Turkey. Therefore, Turkish residents may be required to appoint a Turkish broker to assist with the sale of the Shares acquired under the Plan. The Participant should consult his or her personal legal advisor before selling any Shares acquired under the Plan to confirm the applicability of this requirement.
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

40

UNITED KINGDOM
Termination
Section 4(c) of this Agreement (Retirement) shall not apply to any Participant who as of the Date of Grant is on permanent, non-temporary assignment in the United Kingdom. Instead, the provisions of Section 4(a) (General), shall apply, notwithstanding the provisions therein regarding Early Retirement and Normal Retirement to the contrary.
Tax Obligations
This provision supplements Section 7 of the Agreement:
Without limitation to Section 7 of the Agreement, the Participant hereby agrees that the Participant is liable for all Tax Related-Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax Related-Items, as and when requested by the Company, or if different, the Employer, or by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).

In this case, the amount of any uncollected amounts may constitute a benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions may be payable. The Participant will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying the Company or the Employer for the value of any National Insurance Contributions due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Employer may recover by any of the means referred to in Section 7 of the Agreement.

5.1     Establishment of Accounts .
At the time a Participant is first credited with a Notional Share in accordance with Article III, an Account shall be established on behalf of such Participant.
(a) Timing . Subject to Section 5.1(d) below, the Participant’s Account shall be paid as of the first day of the month following the Participant’s Employment Termination Date.
(b) Form . The Participant’s Account shall be paid in a lump sum.

For purposes of the Program, “Specified Employee” shall mean an Employee who is a “key employee” as such term is defined in Code section 416(i) without regard to Code section 416(i)(5). For purposes of determining which Employees are key employees, an Employee is a key employee if the Employee meets the requirements of Code section 416(i)(A)(i), (ii) or (iii) (applied in accordance with the regulations thereunder and disregarding Code section 416(i)(5)) at any time during the 12-month period ending on an identification date (which shall be December 31 st of each calendar year); provided, however, that all Employees who are nonresident aliens during the entire 12-month period ending with the relevant identification date shall be excluded in any such determination.

(b) Beneficiaries . The Administrator shall provide to each new Participant a form on which he or she may designate (i) one or more Beneficiaries who shall receive all or a portion of the Participant’s Account upon the Participant's death, including any Beneficiary who shall receive any such amount only in the event of the death of another Beneficiary; and (ii) the percentages to be paid to each such Beneficiary (if there is more than one). A Participant may change his or her Beneficiary designation from time to time by filing a new form with the Administrator. No such Beneficiary designation shall be effective unless and until the Participant has properly filed the completed form with the Administrator in accordance with procedures established by the Administrator. A Beneficiary designation form that designates the spouse of a Participant as his or her Beneficiary (whether or not any other Beneficiary is also designated) shall be void with respect to the designation of the spouse upon the divorce of the Participant and the spouse with the result that the Participant's former spouse shall not be a Beneficiary unless the Participant files a new form with the Administrator and designates his or her former spouse as a Beneficiary. If a deceased Participant is not survived by a designated Beneficiary or if no Beneficiary was effectively designated, the Participant's Beneficiary shall be deemed to be the Participant's spouse and, if there is no spouse, the Participant's estate. If a designated Beneficiary is living at the death of the Participant but dies before receiving any or all of the portion of the Account to which the Beneficiary was entitled, such remaining portion shall be paid in a lump sum to the estate of the deceased Beneficiary as soon as practicable following the Beneficiary’s death, but

9


no later than the last day of the first Program Year following the Program Year in which the Beneficiary’s death occurred.
5.3     In-Service Distribution for Unforeseeable Emergency .

(a) Unforeseeable Emergency . With respect to a Participant, an unforeseeable emergency is severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or of a "dependent" of the Participant, as such term shall be defined in Code Section 152(a); loss of the Participant's property due to casualty; or another similar extraordinary and unforeseeable set of circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant.
(b) Distribution Reasonably Necessary to Satisfy Emergency . A distribution shall be deemed to be reasonably necessary to satisfy a Participant's unforeseeable emergency if the following requirements are met and the distribution otherwise complies with Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-3(i)(3)(ii):
(i) The distribution does not exceed the amount of the Participant's financial need plus amounts necessary to pay any income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution;
(ii) The Participant's financial need cannot be relieved:
(A) Through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise,
(B) By liquidation of the Participant's assets, to the extent that such liquidation would not itself cause severe financial hardship, or
(C) By the termination of the Participant’s election (if any) under the DCP with respect to a Bonus Deferral Amount or Salary Deferral Amounts.
5.4     Permitted Payment Delays . To the extent compliant with Code section 409A, payment of a Participant’s Account may be delayed to a date after the designated payment date under either of the following two circumstances:

(b) Where the Program Sponsor reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment of the amount will violate Federal Securities laws or other applicable law; provided, however, that such payment will be made to the Participant at the earliest date at which the Program Sponsor reasonably anticipates that the making of such payment will not cause such violation.

ARTICLE VII
STATUS OF PROGRAM
7.1     Unfunded Status of Program . The Program constitutes a mere promise by the Program Sponsor to pay benefits in accordance with the terms of the Program, and, to the extent that any person acquires a right to receive benefits from the Program Sponsor under this Program, such right shall be no greater than any right of any unsecured general creditor of the Program Sponsor. Nothing contained in this Program and no action taken pursuant to the provisions of this Program shall create or be construed so as to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Program Sponsor and any Participant, Beneficiary, or other person.
7.2     Shares to be Issued . The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued to satisfy the obligations under the Program and the Omnibus Incentive Plan shall not exceed the number of shares of Common Stock available for awards under Section 5(a) of the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Common Stock issued under the Program may come from any source authorized under Section 5(a) of the Omnibus Incentive Plan.
Subject to any required action by the Program Sponsor (which it shall promptly take) or its stockholders, and subject to the provisions of applicable corporate law, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock increase or decrease or change into or are exchanged for a different number or kind of security by reason of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares, exchange of shares, stock dividend, or other distribution payable in capital stock, or some other increase or decrease in the Common Stock occurs without the Program Sponsor’s receiving consideration, the Administrator shall make an equitable adjustment as the Administrator in its sole discretion deems to be appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Program to the number and kind of Notional Shares credited to each Participant’s Account under the Program, and the Common Stock Price.
In the event of a declaration of an extraordinary dividend on the Common Stock payable in a form other than Common Stock in an amount that has a material effect on the price of the Common Stock, the Administrator shall make an equitable adjustment as the Administrator in its sole discretion deems to be appropriate to the items set forth in the preceding paragraph in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Program.
Any issue by the Program Sponsor of any class of preferred stock, or securities convertible into shares of common or preferred stock of any class, will not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof will be made with respect to, the number of Notional Shares credited to each Participant’s Account under the Program, or the Common Stock Price, except as this Section 7.2 specifically provides. The crediting of a share of Common Stock under the Program will not affect in any way the right or power of the Program Sponsor to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, or to merge or to consolidate, or to dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
7.3     Omnibus Incentive Plan . The Program is a sub-plan under the Omnibus Incentive Plan and is subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Program Sponsor specifically reserves the right to amend the Program retroactively as may be deemed necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentences, the Program Sponsor shall not amend the Program so as to reduce the balance in the Account of any Participant, or to reduce any Participant’s vested interest in his or her Account, in either case as of the date that such an amendment would otherwise be effective; unless any such amendment shall be reasonably required to comply with applicable law or to preserve the tax treatment of benefits provided under the Program or is consented to by the affected Participant.

APPENDIX A
SPIN-OFF FROM DANAHER ECP
1.     Background
The Program Sponsor was established as a subsidiary of Danaher prior to the Effective Date. On the Effective Date, the liabilities for certain participants’ benefits under the Danaher ECP were transferred to the Program Sponsor and to this Program. The Participants whose benefits were transferred to this Program on the Effective Date are referred to below as “Envista Participants.” The rules in this Appendix shall apply notwithstanding any Program provisions to the contrary.
Amounts payable under the Program in shares of Common Stock shall be treated as grants of Other Stock-Based Awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Amounts payable under the Program in cash shall be treated as Cash-Based Awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan.
2.     Program Benefits
Envista Participants who qualified as eligible employees under the Danaher ECP immediately before the Effective Date shall be Eligible Employees under this Program on such date. All service and compensation that was taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of an Envista Participant’s benefit or his vested right to a benefit under the Danaher ECP as of the Effective Date shall be taken into account for the same purposes under this Program. For the avoidance of doubt, an Initial Participant’s Matching Compensation and Non-Elective Compensation for the 2020 Program Year shall take into account compensation that would have been taken into account for purposes of determining such Envista Participant’s Matching Compensation and Non-Elective Compensation under the Danaher ECP for the 2020 Program Year had the Envista Participant not transferred from the Danaher ECP to this Program.
The Envista Participants’ accounts will reflect such amounts transferred from the Danaher ECP. To the extent the Program refers to accounts prior to January 1, 2020, such references relate to the amounts as they existed in the Danaher ECP prior to the transfer to the extent such amounts were transferred to the Program.
3.     Distributions
The terms of this Program shall govern the distribution of all benefits payable to an Envista Participant or any other person with a right to receive such benefits, including amounts accrued under the Danaher ECP and then transferred to this Program.
4.     Termination and Key Employees
For avoidance of doubt, no Envista Participant shall be treated as incurring a separation from service, termination of employment, retirement, or similar event for purposes of determining the right to a distribution, vesting, benefits, or any other purpose under the Program as a result of Danaher’s distribution of Envista shares. Also, the Key Employees shall be determined in accordance with the special rules for spin-offs under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(i)(6)(iii), or any successor thereto, for the period indicated in such regulation, if applicable.
5.     Beneficiary Designations
Any beneficiary designations made by Envista Participants under the Danaher ECP as of January 1, 2020 shall apply to the same effect under this Program as if made under the terms of this Program.

19


6.     References to Program
All references in this Program to the “Program” as in effect before the Effective Date shall be read as references to the Danaher ECP. To the extent that the Program refers to the Program Sponsor for periods prior to January 1, 2020, such reference shall mean Danaher as program sponsor of the Danaher ECP.
7.     Right to Benefits
With respect to any recordkeeping account established to determine a benefit provided or due under the Danaher ECP at any time, no benefit will be due under the Program except with respect to the portion of such recordkeeping account reflecting the liability transferred from the Danaher ECP to the Program on the Effective Date. Additionally, on and after the Effective Date, Danaher and the Danaher ECP, and any successors thereto shall have no further obligation or liability to any Envista Participant with respect to any benefit, amount, or right due under the Danaher ECP transferred to the Program.
8.     Stock
The portion of an Envista Participant’s Account that was accrued as of immediately prior to the Effective Date (such portion, the “Danaher Stock Portion”) shall be deemed invested in notional shares of Danaher common stock during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the date that the Employers leave the Danaher controlled group (the “Transition Period”). To the extent the Danaher Stock Portion of an Envista Participant’s Account is paid to the Envista Participant during the Transition Period, such payment shall be paid in cash.
As of the date that the Employers leave the Danaher controlled group, the Danaher Stock Portion of an Envista Participant’s Account shall be converted into Notional Shares of Envista common stock as provided by an agreement between Envista and Danaher. To the extent necessary, the Administrator shall use reasonable interpretations and adjustments to determine the fair market value of the Common Stock.

ARTICLE VI
STATUS OF PROGRAM AND TRUST AGREEMENT
6.1     Unfunded Status of Program . The Program constitutes a mere promise by the Program Sponsor to pay benefits in accordance with the terms of the Program, and, to the extent that any person acquires a right to receive benefits from the Program Sponsor under this Program, such right shall be no greater than any right of any unsecured general creditor of the Program Sponsor. Subject to Section 6.2, nothing contained in this Program and no action taken pursuant to the provisions of this Program shall create or be construed so as to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Program Sponsor and any Participant, Beneficiary, or other person.
6.2     Shares to be Issued . The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued to satisfy the obligations under the Program and the Omnibus Incentive Plan shall not exceed the number of shares of Common Stock available for awards under Section 5(a) of the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Common Stock issued under the Program may come from any source authorized under Section 5(a) of the Omnibus Incentive Plan.
Subject to any required action by the Program Sponsor (which it shall promptly take) or its stockholders, and subject to the provisions of applicable corporate law, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock increase or decrease or change into or are exchanged for a different number or kind of security by reason of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares, exchange of shares, stock dividend, or other distribution payable in capital stock, or some other increase or decrease in the Common Stock occurs without the Program Sponsor’s receiving consideration, the Administrator shall make an equitable adjustment as the Administrator in its sole discretion deems to be appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Program to the number and kind of shares of Common Stock credited to each Participant’s Account under the Program, and the Common Stock Price.
In the event of a declaration of an extraordinary dividend on the Common Stock payable in a form other than Common Stock in an amount that has a material effect on the price of the Common Stock, the Administrator shall make an equitable adjustment as the Administrator in its sole discretion deems to be appropriate to the items set forth in the preceding paragraph in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Program.
Any issue by the Program Sponsor of any class of preferred stock, or securities convertible into shares of common or preferred stock of any class, will not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof will be made with respect to, the number of shares of Common Stock credited to each Participant’s Account under the Program, or the Common Stock Price, except as this Section 6.2 specifically provides. The crediting of a share of Common Stock under the Program will not affect in any way the right or power of the Program Sponsor to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, or to merge or to consolidate, or to dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
6.3    The Program is a sub-plan under the Omnibus Incentive Plan and is subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Omnibus Incentive Plan. In the event that any provision of the Program does not comply with the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the applicable term shall be interpreted in such a manner so as to comply with the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan.
6.4     Existence and Purposes of Trust Agreement .
(a)     Existence of Trust Agreement . In accordance with Section 6.1, the Program Sponsor may enter into a Trust Agreement with a trustee to hold a trust fund that may become the source of Program benefits as provided in the Trust Agreement, and such trust fund may hold shares of Common Stock. In such event, the trustee would have such powers to hold, invest, reinvest, control, and disburse such trust fund as shall, at such time and from time to time, be set forth in the Trust Agreement or this Program.

29


(b)     Integration of Trust Agreement . The Trust Agreement shall be deemed to be a part of this Program, and all rights of Participants and Beneficiaries of deceased Participants under this Program shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Agreement, if and as applicable.
(c)     Rights to Any Trust Fund Assets . No Participant or Beneficiary of a deceased Participant, nor any other person, shall have any right to, or interest in, any assets of the trust fund maintained under the Trust Agreement upon termination of such Participant's employment or otherwise, except as may be specifically provided from time to time in this Program, the Trust Agreement, or both, and then only to the extent so specifically provided.

The Program Sponsor reserves the right to amend the Program, by action duly taken by its Board of Directors, at any time and from time to time to any extent that the Program Sponsor may deem advisable, and any such amendment shall take the form of an instrument in writing duly executed by one or more individuals duly authorized by the Board of Directors. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Program Sponsor specifically reserves the right to amend the Program retroactively as may be deemed necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentences, the Program Sponsor shall not amend the Program so as to change the method of calculating the Benefit Amount attributable to any Performance Shares in any Participant's Performance Shares Account as of the date that such an amendment would otherwise be effective; so as to reduce the balance in the Deferral Account, Benefit Account, Rollover Account, Discretionary Share Account, or Distribution Account of any Participant as of such otherwise effective date; or so as to reduce the Vesting Percentage applicable to any Benefit Amount of any Participant that shall have been credited to the Participant's Benefit Account (plus any earnings credited thereon) prior to such otherwise effective date (whether or not such Vesting Percentage shall have been determined pursuant to Section 3.3 as of such date), unless any such amendment shall be reasonably required to comply with applicable law or to preserve the tax treatment of benefits provided under the Program or is consented to by the affected Participant.
7.2     Right to Terminate . The Program Sponsor reserves the right to terminate the Program, by action duly taken by its Board of Directors, at any time as the Program Sponsor may deem advisable. Upon termination of the Program, (a) if the trust fund maintained under the Trust Agreement has not become the source for Program benefits, the Program Sponsor shall pay or provide for the payment of all liabilities with respect to Participants and Beneficiaries of deceased Participants by distributing amounts to and on behalf of such Participants and Beneficiaries; and (b) if the trust fund maintained under the Trust Agreement has become the source for Program benefits, the Program Sponsor shall direct the trustee thereof to pay to or provide for the payment of all reasonable administrative expenses of the Program and trust fund, and thereafter the Program Sponsor shall direct such trustee to use and apply the remaining assets of the trust fund to provide for liabilities thereof with respect to Participants and Beneficiaries of deceased Participants by continuing the trust fund and making provision under the Trust Agreement for the payment of such liabilities or by distributing amounts from the trust fund to and on behalf of such Participants and Beneficiaries; provided that, if, after payment or provision for payment of all reasonable administrative expenses of the Program and trust fund maintained under the Trust Agreement and satisfaction of all liabilities of such trust fund with respect to Participants and Beneficiaries of deceased Participants, there shall be excess assets remaining, the trustee thereof shall pay such excess assets to the Program Sponsor.

ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS
8.1     No Guarantee of Employment . Nothing contained in this Program shall be construed as a contract of employment between any Employee and the Program Sponsor or any Employer, as a right of any Employee to be continued in any employment position with, or the employment of, the Program Sponsor or any Employer, or as a limitation of the right of the Program Sponsor or any Employer to discharge any Employee.
8.2     Nonalienation of Benefits . Any benefits or rights to benefits payable under this Program shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, charge, garnishment, execution, or levy of any kind, either voluntary or involuntary, including any such liability that is for alimony or other payments for the support of a Beneficiary or former Beneficiary, or for the support of any other relative, before payment thereof is received by the Participant, Beneficiary of a deceased Participant, or other person entitled to the benefit under the Program; and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, charge, or otherwise dispose of any right to benefits payable under this Program shall be void; provided, however, that this Section shall not prohibit the Administrator from offsetting, pursuant to Section 8.3 of this Program, any payments due to a Participant, the Beneficiary of a deceased Participant, or any other person who may be entitled to receive a benefit under this Program.
8.3     Offset of Benefits . Notwithstanding anything in this Program to the contrary, in the event that a Participant or the Beneficiary of a deceased Participant owes any amount to the Program, the Program Sponsor, or any other Employer, whether as a result of an overpayment or otherwise, the Administrator may, in his or her discretion, offset the amount owed or any percentage thereof in any manner against any payments due from the Program to the Participant or Beneficiary.
8.4     Taxes . Neither the Program Sponsor nor any Employer represents or guarantees that any particular federal, state, or local income, payroll, personal property or other tax consequence will result from participation in this Program or payment of benefits under this Program. Notwithstanding anything in this Program to the contrary, the Administrator may, in his or her sole discretion, deduct and withhold applicable taxes from any payment of benefits under this Program. For the avoidance of doubt, each Participant and Beneficiary shall be responsible for any and all taxes, interest, and penalties with respect to his or her Section 409A Amounts. The Administrator also may permit such obligations to be satisfied by the transfer to the Program Sponsor or any Employer of cash, shares of Common Stock, or other property.
8.5     Timing of Distributions . The provisions of this Section 8.5 shall apply notwithstanding any provisions of the Program to the contrary. The timing of all distributions under the Program is subject to the Program Sponsor's and any Employer's deduction limitations under Code Section 162(m).

The Administrator also may, in his or her sole discretion, postpone any distribution to comply with applicable law or internal policies of the Program Sponsor.
8.6     Not Compensation Under Other Benefit Plans . No amounts in a Participant's Benefit Account, Discretionary Share Account or Deferral Account shall be deemed to be salary or compensation for purposes of the 401(k) Plan or any other employee benefit plan of the Program Sponsor or any Employer except as and to the extent otherwise specifically provided in any such plan.
8.7     Merger or Consolidation of Program Sponsor . If the Program Sponsor is merged or consolidated with another organization, or another organization acquires all or substantially all of the Program Sponsor's assets, such organization may become the "Program Sponsor" hereunder by action of its board of directors and by action of the board of directors of the Program Sponsor if still existent. Such change in sponsors shall not be deemed to be a termination of this Program.

32


8.8     Savings Clause . If any term, covenant, or condition of this Program, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall to any extent be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Program, or the application of any such term, covenant, or condition to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held to be invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and, except to the extent of any such invalidity or unenforceability, this Program and each term, covenant, and condition hereof shall be valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
8.9     Governing Law . This Program shall be construed, regulated and administered under the laws of the State of Delaware to the extent not pre-empted by ERISA or any other federal law.
8.10     Construction . As used in this Program, the masculine and feminine gender shall be deemed to include the neuter gender, as appropriate, and the singular or plural number shall be deemed to include the other, as appropriate, unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary.
8.11     Headings No Part of Agreement . Headings of articles, sections and subsections of this Program are inserted for convenience of reference; they constitute no part of the Program and are not to be considered in the construction of the Program.

ARTICLE IX
SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO SECTION 409A AMOUNTS
9.1     Scope . The provisions of this Article IX shall apply to Section 409A Amounts only and shall not apply to any Grandfathered Amounts. If the provisions of this Article IX conflict with any other provisions of the Program, the provisions of this Article IX shall control.
9.2     Special Provisions . Notwithstanding any provision of Articles III and IV of the Program and Section 5.6 of the Program, with respect to a Participant:
(a)     Elections . With respect to any Section 409A Amount and in addition to any enrollment form and election requirements provided for in the Program or established by the Administrator, any election for a Program Year shall be made not later than December 31 of the calendar year immediately preceding such Program Year; provided, however, that, in the case of the first Program Year in which a Participant becomes an Eligible Employee, any election for the portion of the Program Year during with the Participant is an Eligible Employee shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date the Participant first becomes an Eligible Employee.
(b)     Form and Medium of Distribution . Any election made with respect to a Section 409A Amount pursuant to Section 9.2(a) above shall specify the form and medium of distribution with respect to that Section 409A Amount. The form of distribution so elected by a Participant shall be one of the forms of distribution set forth in Section 4.1(a) of the Program and shall be subject to the restriction in Section 4.1(a)(ii) of the Program concerning the availability of installment payments. The medium of distribution shall be specified in accordance with Section 4.1(b) of the Program.
(c)     Default Form of Payment . Notwithstanding Section 4.2(b)(i)(B) of the Program, with respect to any Participant who has both attained age fifty-five (55) and completed at least five (5) Years of Service, if such Participant fails to elect a form of distribution with respect to any Section 409A Amount, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected to have such Section 409A Amount paid in the form of five (5) installment payments in accordance with the payment frequency set forth in Section 9.2(d) below.
(d)     Timing of Payment . Notwithstanding Article IV of the Program and specifically Sections 4.2(c) and (e) of the Program, the Distribution Date for a Section 409A Amount (or the first installment of a Section 409A Amount, if applicable) shall be no earlier than the first day of the month following the last day of the six (6) month period commencing on the Participant’s Employment Termination Date. In accordance with procedures established by the Administrator pursuant to Article V, a Participant may elect one of the following Distribution Dates with respect to each Section 409A Amount: (i) the first day of the month following the last day of the six (6) month period commencing on the Participant’s Employment Termination Date; (ii) the first day of the month following the last day of the twelve (12) month period commencing on the Participant’s Employment Termination Date; or (iii) the first day of the month following the last day of the twenty-four (24) month period commencing on the Participant’s Employment Termination Date.
If pursuant to the terms of the Program a Section 409A Amount is to be distributed in installments, the second installment of the Section 409A Amount shall be made on January 15 of the calendar year following the date of payment of the initial installment, and each subsequent installment thereafter (if any) shall be made on each January 15 thereafter until all installment payments of a Section 409A Amount have been paid to the Participant. In the avoidance of doubt, the amount of each installment payment of a Section 409A Amount shall equal the quotient of (i) the total Section 409A Amount to be distributed, divided by (ii) the number of installment payments remaining in the applicable period of annual installments.
(e)     Subsequent Changes in Time of Payment and Form of Distribution . With respect to a Section 409A Amount, a Participant may elect to delay a payment of the Section 409A or to change the form of distribution of the Section 409A Amount provided that the following conditions are met:

34


(i)    Any election under this Section 9.2(e) shall not take effect until a date that is at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the election is made.
(ii)    The payment with respect to which an election under this Section 9.2(e) is made shall be deferred for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date such payment would otherwise have been paid.
(iii)    Any election under this Section 9.2(e) shall be made on a date that is not less than twelve (12) months prior to the date the payment is originally scheduled to be made.
(f)     Permitted Payment Delays . Notwithstanding Section 8.5 of the Program and in addition to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.2, a payment of a Section 409A Amount to a Participant may be delayed to a date after the designated payment date under either of the following two circumstances:
(i)    Where the Program Sponsor reasonably anticipates that an Employer’s deduction with respect to the payment of a Section 409A Amount would otherwise be limited or eliminated by application of Code Section 162(m); provided, however, that such payment shall be made to the Participant (i) during the Participant's first taxable year in which the Program Sponsor reasonably anticipates that the deduction of such payment will not be limited or eliminated by the application of Code Section 162(m), or, if later, (ii) during the period beginning with the Participant’s Employment Termination Date and ending on the later of (A) the last day of the taxable year of the Program Sponsor in which the Participant's Employment Termination Date occurs or (B) the fifteenth (15 th ) day of the third month following the Participant's Employment Termination Date.
(ii)    Where the Program Sponsor reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment of the Section 409A Amount will violate Federal Securities laws or other applicable law; provided, however, that such payment will be made to the Participant at the earliest date at which the Program Sponsor reasonably anticipates that the making of such payment will not cause such violation.
(g)     Unforeseeable Emergency . For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 4.3 of the Program shall apply to any Bonus Deferral Amounts and any Salary Deferral Amounts that are considered to be Section 409A Amounts.
(h)     Program Termination . Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.2 of the Program, the termination of the Program shall not accelerate the time and form of payment of any Section 409A Amount except when the Program Sponsor elects to terminate the Program in accordance with one of the following:
(i)    The Program Sponsor elects to terminate the Program within twelve (12) months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Code Section 331 or with the approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §503(b)(1)(A), provided that the Section 409A Amounts are included in Participants’ gross incomes in the latest of (a) the calendar year in which the Program termination occurs, (b) the calendar year in which the Section 409A Amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, or (c) the first calendar year in which the payment of the Section 409A Amount is administratively practical.
(ii)    The Program Sponsor elects to terminate the Program under the following conditions: (a) the Employer terminates all arrangements sponsored by the Employer that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangements under the regulations promulgated under Code Section 409A if the same Participant had deferrals of compensation under all such terminated arrangements; (b) no payments (other than payments that would be payable under the terms of the arrangements if the termination had not occurred) are made within twelve (12) months of the termination of the arrangements; (c) all payments are made within twenty-four (24) months of the termination of the arrangements; and (d) no Employer adopts a new arrangement that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangement under the regulations promulgated under Code Section 409A if the same Participant participated in both arrangements, at any time within five (5) years following the date of termination of the Program.

35


(iii)    The Program Sponsor elects to terminate the Program in accordance with any such other events and conditions that the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service may prescribe in generally applicable guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.
(i)     Definition of Payment . With respect to a Section 409A Amount, the entitlement to a series of installment payments shall be treated as the entitlement to a single payment, and each such installment payment shall not be considered a separate payment hereunder.
(j)     Discretionary Share Accounts . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any amounts attributable to a Participant's Discretionary Share Account shall be paid as lump-sum distribution in shares of Common Stock on the first day of the month following the last day of the six (6) month period commencing on the Participant’s Employment Termination Date. A Participant may not elect to delay a payment or change the form of distribution of any amount attributable to his or her Discretionary Share Account.
9.3     Payments to a Beneficiary . Notwithstanding Section 4.2(e) of the Program, with respect to any Section 409A Amounts, if a Participant elected to receive the Distributable Amount in the form of annual installments and the Participant dies prior to receiving all of such annual installments, the Beneficiary of the deceased Participant shall receive such remaining payments as a lump-sum in accordance with Section 4.2(b)(ii) of the Program.
9.4     Class Year Accounting . Section 409A Amounts credited on a Participant's behalf with respect to Program Years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and any earnings credited thereto and any losses deducted therefrom in accordance with the terms of the Program, shall be administered under this Program by Class Year. For the avoidance of doubt, as stated in Section 1.56, the aggregate of a Participant’s Salary Deferral Amount (if any), Bonus Deferral Amount (if any), and Benefit Amount (if any) for each Class Year, and any earnings credited thereto and any losses deducted therefrom in accordance with the terms of the Program, shall be deemed a separate Section 409A Amount for all purposes under this Program, including, but not limited to, the provisions of Section 9.2.
(a)     Elections . In accordance with procedures established by the Administrator pursuant to Article V and Section 9.2, a Participant shall make a separate election for each Class Year, commencing with the Class Year 2013, for which the Participant shall specify (i) the form and medium of distribution and (ii) the time for payment, and each such election for a Class Year shall apply to the aggregate of the Participant’s Salary Deferral Amount (if any), Bonus Deferral Amount (if any), and Benefit Amount (if any) for that Class Year, and any earnings credited thereto and any losses deducted therefrom in accordance with the terms of the Program. The Program's default form of payment and time for payment provisions under Section 4.2(b)(i)(B), Section 9.2(c), and Section 9.2(d), as applicable, shall apply to any Participant who fails to make an election for a Class Year.
(b)     Subsequent Changes in Class Year Elections . The provisions of Section 9.2(e) permitting payment delays and changes in the form of distribution subject to certain conditions set forth therein shall be administered separately with respect to a Participant’s Section 409A Amount for each Class Year. An election to delay payment, or change the form of distribution, for a Section 409A Amount for one Class Year shall not affect the time for payment and form of distribution elections for the Section 409A Amount for another Class Year.

ENVISTA HOLDINGS CORPORATION 2019 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
APPENDIX C
SPIN-OFF FROM DANAHER EDIP
1.     Background
The Program Sponsor was established as a subsidiary of Danaher prior to the Effective Date. On the Effective Date, the liabilities for certain participants’ benefits under the Danaher EDIP, including amounts not subject to Code Section 409A (i.e., amounts deferred and vested prior to January 1, 2005, and earnings related thereto), were transferred to the Program Sponsor and to this Program. The Participants whose benefits were transferred to this Program on the Effective Date are referred to below as “Envista Participants.” The rules in this Appendix shall apply notwithstanding any Program provisions to the contrary.
Amounts payable under the Program in shares of Common Stock shall be treated as grants of Other Stock-Based Awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Amounts payable under the Program in cash shall be treated as Cash-Based Awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan.
2.     Program Benefits
Envista Participants who qualified as eligible employees under the Danaher EDIP immediately before the Effective Date shall be Eligible Employees under this Program on such date. All service and compensation that was taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of an Envista Participant’s benefit or his vested right to a benefit under the Danaher EDIP as of the Effective Date shall be taken into account for the same purposes under this Program.
The Envista Participants’ accounts will reflect such amounts transferred from the Danaher EDIP. To the extent the Program refers to accounts prior to January 1, 2020, such references relate to the amounts as they existed in the Danaher EDIP prior to the transfer to the extent such amounts were transferred to the Program.
3.     Distributions
The terms of this Program shall govern the distribution of all benefits payable to an Envista Participant or any other person with a right to receive such benefits, including amounts accrued under the Danaher EDIP and then transferred to this Program.
4.     Termination and Key Employees
For avoidance of doubt, no Envista Participant shall be treated as incurring a separation from service, termination of employment, retirement, or similar event for purposes of determining the right to a distribution (for amounts subject to Code section 409A or otherwise), vesting, benefits, or any other purpose under the Program as a result of Danaher’s distribution of Envista shares. Also, the Key Employees shall be determined in accordance with the special rules for spin-offs under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(i)(6)(iii), or any successor thereto, for the period indicated in such regulation, if applicable.
5.     Participant Elections
All elections made by Envista Participants under the Danaher EDIP prior to January 1, 2020, including any deferral elections, earnings crediting rate elections, payment elections, and beneficiary designations, shall apply to the same effect under this Program as if made under the terms of this Program. To the extent the available investment options differ from those under the Danaher EDIP on the Effective Date, the Administrator shall map such earnings crediting rate elections (for both Account balances and subsequent deferrals) into similar investment options then available under the Program, in the Administrator’s sole discretion, until the Envista Participant changes such investment election. After the Effective Date, a



Participant may not direct any additional amounts to be deemed invested in notional shares of Danaher common stock.
6.     References to Program
All references in this Program to the “Program” as in effect before the Effective Date shall be read as references to the Danaher EDIP. To the extent that the Program refers to the Program Sponsor for periods prior to January 1, 2020, such reference shall mean Danaher as plan sponsor of the Danaher EDIP.
7.     Right to Benefits
With respect to any recordkeeping account established to determine a benefit provided or due under the Danaher EDIP at any time, no benefit will be due under the Program except with respect to the portion of such recordkeeping account reflecting the liability transferred from the Danaher EDIP to the Program on the Effective Date. Additionally, on and after the Effective Date, Danaher and the Danaher EDIP, and any successors thereto shall have no further obligation or liability to any Envista Participant with respect to any benefit, amount, or right due under the Danaher EDIP transferred to the Program.
8.     Stock
The portion of an Envista Participant’s Account that was deemed invested in notional shares of Danaher common stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Date (such portion, the “Danaher Stock Portion”) shall remain deemed invested in notional shares of Danaher common stock during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the date that the Employers leave the Danaher controlled group (the “Transition Period”). An Envista Participant may not change his or her investment election with respect to the Danaher Stock Portion of his or her Account during the Transition Period. To the extent all or a portion of the Danaher Stock Portion of an Envista Participant’s Account is paid to the Envista Participant during the Transition Period, such payment shall be paid in cash.
As of the date that the Employers leave the Danaher controlled group, the Danaher Stock Portion of an Envista Participant’s Account shall be converted into amounts deemed invested in shares of Envista common stock as provided by an agreement between Envista and Danaher. The amounts to be credited to a Participant’s Performance Shares Account under Section 3.1 will be based on such Performance Shares of Envista common stock after the date that the Employers leave the Danaher controlled group. To the extent necessary, the Administrator shall use reasonable interpretations and adjustments to determine the fair market value of the Common

A Participant may elect the Earnings Crediting Rate that shall apply to all or a designated portion of the Participant’s Account from the investment options that the Administrator shall from time to time designate, in accordance with rules established by the Administrator. A Participant makes his or her initial election of the Earnings Crediting Rate(s) that shall apply to the Participant’s Account by properly completing an investment option form and filing it with the Administrator. A Participant who has filed an investment option form with the Administrator may elect to change his or her investment election with respect to either the investment of future amounts credited to the Participant’s Account and/or the investment of all or a designated portion of the current balance of the Participant’s Account by so designating on a new investment option form and filing the form with the Administrator or, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Administrator, by so notifying the Administrator in any manner acceptable to the Administrator; provided, however, that a Participant may not change his or her investment election with respect to any portion of his or her Account deemed invested in notional shares of Common Stock and any such election of notional shares of Common Stock as an investment option shall be irrevocable and remain in effect until the Participant’s Account is distributed pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided by the Administrator with respect to one (1) or more investment options, any initial investment election made pursuant to this Paragraph shall be effective as soon as administratively possible, and any subsequent investment election made pursuant to this Paragraph shall be effective as soon as administratively possible after the date that the Participant files the investment option form with the Administrator or otherwise notifies the Administrator of his or her election, and each investment election shall continue in effect until the effective date of a subsequent investment election properly made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Participant who is required to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the rules promulgated thereunder, if the Participant has elected notional shares of Common Stock as an investment option that shall apply to all or a portion of his or her Account, such investment option and Earnings Crediting Rate shall not become effective with respect to any amounts deferred until the earliest of the last Friday (or if such Friday is a New York Stock Exchange holiday, the immediately preceding day that is not a holiday or weekend day for purposes of the New York Stock Exchange) of the month of April, July, October, or January immediately following the date such amounts were deferred, and during the period from the date of deferral until such April, July, October, or January date, as applicable, the investment options and Earnings Crediting Rate that shall apply to such deferred amounts shall be the fixed income fund investment option, or such other investment option as the Administrator shall determine.

ARTICLE V
DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS
5.1     Establishment of Accounts .
A Deferral Account shall be established for a Participant for each Plan Year with respect to which the Participant completes an enrollment form or election form in accordance with Section 3.1. At such time, the Participant shall designate the time and form of payment of such Deferral Account from among the following available options:
(a)     Timing . Subject to Section 5.1(d) below, the Participant shall designate the Deferral Account to be paid or commence payment upon one of the following payment events:
(i)    Upon the Participant’s Employment Termination Date, with the payment commencing on the first day of the month following such date below as elected by the Participant:
(A)     the Participant’s Employment Termination Date;
(B)    the last day of the six (6) month period commencing on the Participant’s Employment Termination Date;
(C)    the last day of the twelve (12) month period commencing on the Participant’s Employment Termination Date; or
(D)    the last day of the twenty-four (24) month period commencing on the Participant’s Employment Termination Date.
(ii)    Upon a fixed date not less than three (3) years following the year the Deferral Account is established.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant designates his or her Deferral Account to be paid or commence payment upon a fixed date, and his or her Employment Termination Date occurs prior to such fixed date, the Deferral Account shall be paid upon the payment event designated by the Participant pursuant to subsection (i) above or, if the Participant has not made such a designation, upon the first day of the month following the Participant’s Employment Termination Date.
If the Administrator determines that the Participant has not properly designated a time of payment for a Deferral Account in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.1 or the procedures established by the Administrator, such Participant shall be deemed to have designated the Deferral Account to be payable upon the first day of the month following the Participant’s Employment Termination Date.
(b)     Form . With respect to each payment event described in Section 5.1(a), the Participant may designate the Deferral Account to be paid upon such payment event as either:
(i)    A lump sum; or
(ii)    In annual installments over no more than ten (10) years.
If the Administrator determines that the Participant has not properly designated a form of payment for a Deferral Account in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.1 or the procedures established by the Administrator, such Participant shall be deemed to have designated the Deferral Account to be payable in a lump sum.
If a Deferral Account is to be distributed in installments, the first installment shall be made on the applicable date described in Section 5.1(a) (including any delay in payment pursuant to Section 5.1(d), if applicable), and each subsequent installment thereafter shall be made on the anniversary of the first installment until all installment payments of the amount have been paid to the Participant. The amount of each installment payment shall equal the quotient of (A) the total remaining balance in the Deferral Account as of the Valuation

10


Date immediately prior to the date on which such installment payment is scheduled to be paid, divided by (B) the number of installment payments remaining in the applicable period of annual installments. The entitlement to a series of installment payments under this Plan shall be treated as the entitlement to a single payment, and each such installment payment shall not be considered a separate payment hereunder.
(c)     Medium . Any portion of a Participant’s Deferral Account that is deemed invested in shares of Common Stock shall be paid in shares of Common Stock. Any portion of a Participant’s Deferral Account that is not deemed invested in shares of Common Stock shall be paid in cash.
(d)     Special Payment Rule for Specified Employees . Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions may not be made to a Specified Employee due to the Participant’s Employment Termination Date other than on account of death before the first day of the month following the last day of the six (6) month period commencing on the Participant’s Employment Termination Date, or, if earlier, the Participant’s date of death. Installment payments that would have commenced during the period of delay will commence as of the next monthly payment date following the period of delay.
For purposes of the Plan, “Specified Employee” shall mean an Employee who is a “key employee” as such term is defined in Code section 416(i) without regard to Code section 416(i)(5). For purposes of determining which Employees are key employees, an Employee is a key employee if the Employee meets the requirements of Code section 416(i)(A)(i), (ii) or (iii) (applied in accordance with the regulations thereunder and disregarding Code section 416(i)(5)) at any time during the 12-month period ending on an identification date (which shall be December 31 st of each calendar year); provided, however, that all Employees who are nonresident aliens during the entire 12-month period ending with the relevant identification date shall be excluded in any such determination.
5.2     Distributions upon Death .
(a)     Acceleration of Payment . Upon the death of a Participant, the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries of the deceased Participant shall receive the remaining unpaid portion of the Participant’s Account as a lump sum as soon as practicable following the Participant’s death, but no later than the last day of the first Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Participant’s death occurred.
(b)     Beneficiaries . The Administrator shall provide to each new Participant a form on which he or she may designate (i) one or more Beneficiaries who shall receive all or a portion of the Participant’s Account upon the Participant’s death, including any Beneficiary who shall receive any such amount only in the event of the death of another Beneficiary; and (ii) the percentages to be paid to each such Beneficiary (if there is more than one). A Participant may change his or her or her Beneficiary designation from time to time by filing a new form with the Administrator. No such Beneficiary designation shall be effective unless and until the Participant has properly filed the completed form with the Administrator in accordance with procedures established by the Administrator. A Beneficiary designation form that designates the spouse of a Participant as his or her Beneficiary (whether or not any other Beneficiary is also designated) shall be void with respect to the designation of the spouse upon the divorce of the Participant and the spouse with the result that the Participant’s former spouse shall not be a Beneficiary unless the Participant files a new form with the Administrator and designates his or her former spouse as a Beneficiary. If a deceased Participant is not survived by a designated Beneficiary or if no Beneficiary was effectively designated, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be deemed to be the Participant’s spouse and, if there is no spouse, the Participant’s estate. If a designated Beneficiary is living at the death of the Participant but dies before receiving any or all of the portion of the Account to which the Beneficiary was entitled, such remaining portion shall be paid in a lump sum to the estate of the deceased Beneficiary as soon as practicable following the Beneficiary’s death, but no later than the last day of the first Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Beneficiary’s death occurred.
5.3     In-Service Distribution for Unforeseeable Emergency . The Administrator may, but shall not be required to, establish procedures under which an in-service distribution may be made to a Participant of all or a part of his Account in the event that the Participant has an unforeseeable emergency, as described

11


in Subsection (a) below, and the distribution is reasonably needed to satisfy the unforeseeable emergency, as described in Subsection (b) below, and the distribution complies with Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-3(a)(6):
(a)     Unforeseeable Emergency . With respect to a Participant, an unforeseeable emergency is severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or of a “dependent” of the Participant, as such term shall be defined in Code Section 152(a); loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty; or another similar extraordinary and unforeseeable set of circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant.
(b)     Distribution Reasonably Necessary to Satisfy Emergency . A distribution shall be deemed to be reasonably necessary to satisfy a Participant’s unforeseeable emergency if the following requirements are met and the distribution otherwise complies with Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-3(i)(3)(ii):
(i)    The distribution does not exceed the amount of the Participant’s financial need plus amounts necessary to pay any income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution;
(ii)    The Participant’s financial need cannot be relieved:
(A)    Through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise,
(B)    By liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent that such liquidation would not itself cause severe financial hardship, or
(C)    By the termination of the Participant’s election (if any) with respect to a Bonus Deferral Amount or Salary Deferral Amounts.
5.4     Subsequent Changes in Time of Payment and Form of Distribution . Subject to such rules and limitations as the Administrator may establish, a Participant may elect to delay a payment of a Deferral Account or to change the form of distribution of a Deferral Account provided that the following conditions are met:
(a)    Any election under this Section 5.4 shall not take effect until a date that is at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the election is made.
(b)    The payment with respect to which an election under this Section 5.4 is made shall be deferred for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date such payment would otherwise have been paid.
(c)    Any election under this Section 5.4 shall be made on a date that is not less than twelve (12) months prior to the date the payment is originally scheduled to be made.
A Participant’s election under this Section 5.4 shall only apply to the Deferral Account(s) that are specifically identified by the Participant in the election. The election will apply to all payment events elected for the applicable Deferral Account(s), unless the election specifies otherwise.
5.5     Permitted Payment Delays . To the extent compliant with Code section 409A, payment of a Participant’s Account may be delayed to a date after the designated payment date under either of the following two circumstances:
(a)    Where the Plan Sponsor reasonably anticipates that an Employer’s deduction with respect to the payment of an amount would otherwise be limited or eliminated by application of Code section 162(m); provided, however, that such payment shall be made to the Participant (i) during the Participant’s first taxable year in which the Plan Sponsor reasonably anticipates that the deduction of such payment will not be limited or eliminated by the application of Code section 162(m), or, if later, (ii) during the period beginning with the Participant’s Employment Termination Date and ending on the later of (A) the last day

12


of the taxable year of the Plan Sponsor in which the Participant’s Employment Termination Date occurs or (B) the fifteenth (15 th ) day of the third month following the Participant’s Employment Termination Date.
(b)    Where the Plan Sponsor reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment of the amount will violate Federal Securities laws or other applicable law; provided, however, that such payment will be made to the Participant at the earliest date at which the Plan Sponsor reasonably anticipates that the making of such payment will not cause such violation.
5.6     Permitted Payment Accelerations . The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the payment timing of all or a portion of a Participant’s Account to the extent permissible under Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-3(j)(4).

The failure by a Participant or the Beneficiary of a deceased Participant to furnish such information or proof promptly and in good faith, or the furnishing of false or fraudulent information or proof by the Participant or Beneficiary, shall be sufficient reason for the denial, suspension, or discontinuance of benefits thereto and the recovery of any benefits paid in reliance thereon.

Furthermore, the Administrator shall have absolute and exclusive discretion to formulate and to adopt any and all standards for use in calculations required in connection with the Plan and rules, regulations, and procedures that he or she deems necessary or desirable to effectuate the terms of the Plan; provided, however, that the Administrator shall not adopt a rule, regulation, or procedure that shall conflict with this Plan. Subject to the terms of any applicable contract or agreement, any interpretation or application of this Plan by the Administrator, or any rules, regulations, and procedures duly adopted by the Administrator, shall be final and binding upon Employees, Participants, Beneficiaries, and any and all other persons dealing with the Plan.
(c)     Delegation of Authority and Reliance on Agents .

ARTICLE VII
STATUS OF PLAN
7.1     Unfunded Status of Plan . The Plan constitutes a mere promise by the Plan Sponsor to pay benefits in accordance with the terms of the Plan, and, to the extent that any person acquires a right to receive benefits from the Plan Sponsor under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than any right of any unsecured general creditor of the Plan Sponsor. Nothing contained in this Plan and no action taken pursuant to the provisions of this Plan shall create or be construed so as to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Plan Sponsor and any Participant, Beneficiary, or other person.
7.2     Shares to be Issued . The Common Stock may come from treasury shares, authorized but unissued shares, or previously issued shares that the Plan Sponsor reacquires, including shares it purchases on the open market.
Subject to any required action by the Plan Sponsor (which it shall promptly take) or its stockholders, and subject to the provisions of applicable corporate law, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock increase or decrease or change into or are exchanged for a different number or kind of security by reason of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares, exchange of shares, stock dividend, or other distribution payable in capital stock, or some other increase or decrease in the Common Stock occurs without the Plan Sponsor’s receiving consideration, the Administrator shall make an equitable adjustment as the Administrator in its sole discretion deems to be appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan to the number and kind of shares of Common Stock credited to each Participant’s Account under the Plan, and the Common Stock Price.
In the event of a declaration of an extraordinary dividend on the Common Stock payable in a form other than Common Stock in an amount that has a material effect on the price of the Common Stock, the Administrator shall make an equitable adjustment as the Administrator in its sole discretion deems to be appropriate to the items set forth in the preceding paragraph in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan.
Any issue by the Plan Sponsor of any class of preferred stock, or securities convertible into shares of common or preferred stock of any class, will not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof will be made with respect to, the number of shares of Common Stock credited to each Participant’s Account under the Plan, or the Common Stock Price, except as this Section 7.2 specifically provides. The crediting of a share of Common Stock under the Plan will not affect in any way the right or power of the Plan Sponsor to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, or to merge or to consolidate, or to dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

ARTICLE VIII
PLAN AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION
8.1     Right to Amend . The Plan Sponsor reserves the right to amend the Plan, by action duly taken by its Board of Directors, at any time and from time to time to any extent that the Plan Sponsor may deem advisable, and any such amendment shall take the form of an instrument in writing duly executed by one or more individuals duly authorized by the Board of Directors. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Plan Sponsor specifically reserves the right to amend the Plan retroactively as may be deemed necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentences, the Plan Sponsor shall not amend the Plan so as to reduce the balance in the Account of any Participant, or to reduce any Participant’s vested interest in his or her Account, in either case as of the date that such an amendment would otherwise be effective; unless any such amendment shall be reasonably required to comply with applicable law or to preserve the tax treatment of benefits provided under the Plan or is consented to by the affected Participant.
8.2     Right to Terminate . The Plan Sponsor reserves the right to terminate the Plan, by action duly taken by its Board of Directors, at any time as the Plan Sponsor may deem advisable. Upon termination of the Plan, the Plan Sponsor shall pay or provide for the payment of all liabilities with respect to Participants and Beneficiaries of deceased Participants by distributing amounts to and on behalf of such Participants and Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination of the Plan shall not accelerate the time and form of payment of any amount except when the Plan Sponsor elects to terminate the Plan in accordance with one of the following:
(a)    The Plan Sponsor elects to terminate the Plan within twelve (12) months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Code section 331 or with the approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §503(b)(1)(A), provided that the amounts are included in Participants’ gross incomes in the latest of (a) the calendar year in which the Plan termination occurs, (b) the calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, or (c) the first calendar year in which the payment of the amount is administratively practical.
(b)    The Plan Sponsor elects to terminate the Plan under the following conditions: (i) the Employer terminates all arrangements sponsored by the Employer that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangements under the regulations promulgated under Code section 409A if the same Participant had deferrals of compensation under all such terminated arrangements; (ii) no payments (other than payments that would be payable under the terms of the arrangements if the termination had not occurred) are made within twelve (12) months of the termination of the arrangements; (iii) all payments are made within twenty-four (24) months of the termination of the arrangements; and (iv) no Employer adopts a new arrangement that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangement under the regulations promulgated under Code section 409A if the same Participant participated in both arrangements, at any time within five (5) years following the date of termination of the Plan.
(c)    The Plan Sponsor elects to terminate the Plan in accordance with any such other events and conditions that the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service may prescribe in generally applicable guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.

9.1     No Guarantee of Employment . Nothing contained in this Plan shall be construed as a contract of employment between any Employee and the Plan Sponsor or any Employer, as a right of any Employee to be continued in any employment position with, or the employment of, the Plan Sponsor or any Employer, or as a limitation of the right of the Plan Sponsor or any Employer to discharge any Employee.

APPENDIX A
SPIN-OFF FROM DANAHER DCP
1.     Background
The Plan Sponsor was established as a subsidiary of Danaher prior to the Effective Date. On the Effective Date, the liabilities for certain participants’ benefits under the Danaher DCP were transferred to the Plan Sponsor and to this Plan. The Participants whose benefits were transferred to this Plan on the Effective Date are referred to below as “Envista Participants.” The rules in this Appendix shall apply notwithstanding any Plan provisions to the contrary.
2.     Plan Benefits
Envista Participants who qualified as eligible employees under the Danaher DCP immediately before the Effective Date shall be Eligible Employees under this Plan on such date. All service and compensation that was taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of an Envista Participant’s benefit under the Danaher DCP as of the Effective Date shall be taken into account for the same purposes under this Plan.
The Envista Participants’ accounts will reflect such amounts transferred from the Danaher DCP. To the extent the Plan refers to accounts prior to January 1, 2020, such references relate to the amounts as they existed in the Danaher DCP prior to the transfer to the extent such amounts were transferred to the Plan.
3.     Distributions
The terms of this Plan shall govern the distribution of all benefits payable to an Envista Participant or any other person with a right to receive such benefits, including amounts accrued under the Danaher DCP and then transferred to this Plan.
4.     Termination and Key Employees
For avoidance of doubt, no Envista Participant shall be treated as incurring a separation from service, termination of employment, retirement, or similar event for purposes of determining the right to a distribution, vesting, benefits, or any other purpose under the Plan as a result of Danaher’s distribution of Envista shares. Also, the Key Employees shall be determined in accordance with the special rules for spin-offs under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(i)(6)(iii), or any successor thereto, for the period indicated in such regulation, if applicable.
5.     Participant Elections
All elections made by Envista Participants under the Danaher DCP prior to January 1, 2020, including any deferral elections, earnings crediting rate elections, payment elections, and beneficiary designations, shall apply to the same effect under this Plan as if made under the terms of this Plan. To the extent the available investment options differ from those under the Danaher DCP on the Effective Date, the Administrator shall map such earnings crediting rate elections (for both Account balances and subsequent deferrals) into similar investment options then available under the Plan, in the Administrator’s sole discretion, until the Envista Participant changes such investment election. After the Effective Date, a Participant may not direct any additional amounts to be deemed invested in notional shares of Danaher common stock.
6.     References to Plan
All references in this Plan to the “Plan” as in effect before the Effective Date shall be read as references to the Danaher DCP. To the extent that the Plan refers to the Plan Sponsor for periods prior to January 1, 2020, such reference shall mean Danaher as plan sponsor of the Danaher DCP.
7.     Right to Benefits
With respect to any recordkeeping account established to determine a benefit provided or due under the Danaher DCP at any time, no benefit will be due under the Plan except with respect to the portion of such

20


recordkeeping account reflecting the liability transferred from the Danaher DCP to the Plan on the Effective Date. Additionally, on and after the Effective Date, Danaher and the Danaher DCP, and any successors thereto shall have no further obligation or liability to any Envista Participant with respect to any benefit, amount, or right due under the Danaher DCP transferred to the Plan.
8.     Stock
The portion of an Envista Participant’s Account that was deemed invested in notional shares of Danaher common stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Date (such portion, the “Danaher Stock Portion”) shall remain deemed invested in notional shares of Danaher common stock during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the date that the Employers leave the Danaher controlled group (the “Transition Period”). An Envista Participant may not change his or her investment election with respect to the Danaher Stock Portion of his or her Account during the Transition Period. To the extent all or a portion of the Danaher Stock Portion of an Envista Participant’s Account is paid to the Envista Participant during the Transition Period, such payment shall be paid in cash.
As of the date that the Employers leave the Danaher controlled group, the Danaher Stock Portion of an Envista Participant’s Account shall be converted into amounts deemed invested in shares of Envista common stock as provided by an agreement between the Envista and Danaher. To the extent necessary, the Administrator shall use reasonable interpretations and adjustments to determine the fair market value of the Common Stock.

Envista Holdings Corporation & Subsidiaries Severance Plan
Senior Leaders Severance Pay Component
(Effective as of Closing of Envista Holdings Corporation’s Initial Public Offering)

Plan and Summary Plan Description
I. Introduction
Envista Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) has established this Senior Leaders Severance Pay Component, a component of the Envista Holdings Corporation & Subsidiaries Severance Plan (the “Plan”) for the benefit of eligible domestic (United States) Senior Leader employees of the Company and the Company’s domestic (United States) affiliates (individually and collectively referred to as the “Employer”) effective as of the closing of the Company’s initial public offering). The purpose of the Plan is to provide an eligible Senior Leader employee who is terminated under the conditions described herein a measure of financial security while seeking new employment.
The Plan is an unfunded welfare benefit plan for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and a severance pay plan within the meaning of United States Department of Labor regulations section 2510.3-2(b). The Plan, including this document and the applicable wrap document, supersedes any Employer severance pay plans, programs or policies affecting eligible employees, both formal and informal. This document along with the applicable wrap document serves as the plan document and this document serves as the Summary Plan Description for all purposes under ERISA.
Nothing in this Plan is to be read or interpreted as changing the Employer policy that all covered employees are employed at will, and the Employer continues to retain the absolute right and power to terminate any employee with or without good cause and with or without prior notice. Furthermore, nothing contained in this Plan confers any right or guarantee of continued employment on any employee. No one has any authority to make any promises or commitments changing this employment at will policy, unless clearly set forth in a written employment agreement specifically designated as such and signed by an authorized officer of the Employer.
II. Eligibility
A. Eligible Employees
Regular full-time salaried employees of domestic (United States) Employer locations who are notified of their termination of employment and terminated from their employment on or after January 1, 2019 (unless otherwise provided in Section II.A.3.) and who meet one of the following requirements (an “eligible employee”) shall be eligible for severance benefits under this Plan under certain conditions:
1.    The employee is a president of a U.S. operating Employer with annual revenue of at least $100 million, or is a management employee who is a direct report to such a president employee; or
2.    The employee is employed by an Employer in a capacity considered to be the equivalent of or a more senior role than “president employees” described in Item 1 above (for example, Envista Holdings Corporation Executive Officers, Corporate Officers, Executive Vice Presidents, Senior Vice Presidents, Group Executives, etc.) or is a management employee who is a direct report to employees in such a senior leadership role.
Eligible employees will be eligible for benefits under the Plan if their employment is permanently terminated due to:
1.    a reduction in the Employer’s workforce or a plant closing;




2.    elimination of their jobs or positions;
3.    termination by the Employer prior to or upon and in connection with a sale or divestiture of the Employer, or any division, business unit, plant or office location of the Employer; or
4.    the determination in the Employer’s sole judgment that they are unsuited for their position, and/or their performance, though well-intentioned, does not meet the Employer’s standards. Despite this provision, employees terminated for “cause” (see definition in Section II.B below) are not eligible for benefits under this Plan.
For purposes of the Plan, a “full-time” employee is one regularly scheduled to work 30 or more hours per week.
The Plan does not apply to part-time employees (employees regularly scheduled to work less than 30 hours per week), temporary employees, independent contractors, consultants, individuals performing services for the Employer who have entered into an independent contractor or consulting agreement with the Employer, or leased workers or personnel of the Employer. In particular, individuals not treated as employees by the Employer on its payroll records are excluded from participation even if a court or administrative agency determines that such individuals are employees and not independent contractors.
The decision as to whether or not an employee is eligible for severance is solely within the Plan Administrator’s discretion.
B. Employees Ineligible to Receive Benefits
An otherwise eligible employee shall not be eligible for severance benefits under the Plan if the Plan Administrator determines, in its sole discretion, that:
1.    the employee is eligible for severance benefits under the Salaried Employees Severance Pay Component under the Plan;
2.    the employee voluntarily quits or is discharged for cause, as determined by the employee’s Employer in its sole discretion (“cause” for purposes of the Plan means: (i) the employee’s dishonesty, fraud, misappropriation, embezzlement, willful misconduct or gross negligence with respect to the Employer, or any other action in willful disregard of the interests of the Employer; (ii) the employee’s conviction of, or pleading guilty or no contest to (1) a felony, (2) any misdemeanor (other than a traffic violation), or (3) any other crime or activity that would impair the employee’s ability to perform duties or impair the business reputation of the Employer; (iii) the employee’s willful failure or refusal to satisfactorily perform any duties assigned to the employee; (iv) the employee’s failure or refusal to comply with Company standards, policies or procedures, including without limitation the Company’s Standards of Conduct as amended from time to time; (v) the employee’s violation of any restrictive covenant agreement with an Employer; (vi) the employee’s engaging in any activity that is in conflict with the business purposes of the Employer, as determined in the Employer’s sole discretion, or (vii) a material misrepresentation or a breach of any of the employee’s representations, obligations or agreements under this Agreement);
3.    the employee voluntarily elects to retire;
4.    the employee terminates employment by reason of death;
5.    the employee terminates employment under circumstances that entitle the employee to receive long term disability benefits;
6.    the employee’s position is eliminated by the Employer, but the employee is offered and refuses a position at comparable base salary and comparable annual target incentive compensation at the same location or within commuting distance of his or her home (defined as 35 miles from his or her residence, or his or her current commute, whichever is greater);

2



7.    the employee’s employment with the Employer is terminated, but the employee is offered and refuses a position at comparable base salary and comparable annual target incentive compensation at the same location or within commuting distance of his or her home (defined as 35 miles from his or her residence, or his or her current commute, whichever is greater) by an entity purchasing the Employer or any division, business unit, plant or office location of the Employer, which employs such employees;
8.    the employee’s employment with the Employer ends after this Plan has been terminated;
9.    the employee has been informed of the termination of his or her employment, but the employee leaves employment with the Employer before a date authorized by the Employer;
10.    the employee has waived the right to severance benefits under this Plan and acknowledged this waiver in writing; or
11.    the employee was notified of his or her termination of employment on or before December 31, 2016.
C. Multiple Severance Arrangements
In the event an otherwise eligible employee is covered by an authorized individual written employment, noncompetition or severance agreement that provides for the payment of severance pay, noncompete pay or other termination or post-termination pay, whether in the form of weeks or months of pay or a flat dollar amount, the terms of such other arrangement shall be honored in terms of the time, form and amount of pay, but such other pay (of whatever nature) shall not be duplicative of severance pay under this Plan. In such event, no such duplicate payment shall be made from this Plan. In the event this Plan provides severance pay in excess of the amount payable under such other arrangement (or provides for severance benefits not available under such other arrangement, such as subsidized COBRA continuation benefits), then only the additional severance pay (or benefits) shall be made under the Plan in accordance with the payment schedule otherwise set forth under this Plan. For example, if an employee with twenty (20) years of service is entitled to six (6) months of noncompete pay in a lump sum payment under the terms of an individual employment agreement (but no subsidized COBRA continuation), and is entitled to twelve (12) months of severance pay under this Plan, then such employee shall receive six (6) months of noncompete pay in a lump sum payment in accordance with the terms of the individual employment agreement, and shall receive the remaining six (6) months of severance pay under this Plan beginning with month (7) from the date benefits under this Plan would otherwise begin. Such employee would also be entitled to subsidized COBRA continuation coverage for twelve (12) months under the Plan, as described in Section IV.B. below.
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in the event the Employer sponsors its own severance plan for some period of time as approved by the Company (which may occur, for example, in the event of an acquisition), this Plan will not supersede such Employer severance plan for such period of time approved by the Company, and the employees who are eligible for such Employer’s severance plan for such Company-approved period of time will not be eligible for any benefits under this Plan during such time.
III. Calculation Of Severance Pay
A. Severance Pay
The amount of the severance pay an eligible employee will receive will be based on his or her base salary at the time he or she is notified of termination. Any performance/merit reviews that are pending, in process, or “past due” will not affect the amount of the severance pay. For purposes of calculating “salary” for commission sales representatives, the base salary will be based on the employee’s total earnings (salary plus commission) for the twelve-month period preceding the commencement of any severance pay. If the terminating employee’s length of service is less than twelve months, severance pay will be based on the terminating employee’s pro rata earnings during the term of employment.

3



B. Amount of Severance Pay
Employees are not entitled to any severance pay or benefits under the Plan unless they sign (and do not later revoke) a Separation Agreement and General Release (discussed below).
Eligible employees who sign (and do not later revoke as applicable) a Separation Agreement and General Release within the allotted timeframe shall be entitled to receive severance pay under the Plan equal to a minimum amount of three months of annual base salary, plus one month of annual base salary for each year of service. An eligible employee who is a president of a U.S. operating Employer with annual revenue of at least $100 million shall be entitled to receive severance pay under the Plan equal to a minimum amount of 12 months of annual base salary. The maximum amount of severance pay an eligible employee can receive under this Plan is 12 months of annual base salary. Years of service are calculated in full years as of the date of termination based on the eligible employee’s most recent date of hire (or rehire) and the eligible employee’s most recent anniversary date, as determined by the Employer’s personnel records, unless otherwise provided in Section IV.C.
IV. Provisions Applicable To Severance Benefits
A. Method of Severance Payments - Severance payments and subsidized COBRA continuation coverage will be provided only if the Employer receives a signed Separation Agreement and General Release from the eligible employee as provided in Section IV.F. Severance payments to eligible employees shall be paid in accordance with the Employer’s customary payroll practices for the Employer’s full and partial pay periods until the total severance is paid. Severance pay is subject to any federal, state and local tax deductions and withholding.
B. COBRA Continuation and Subsidized COBRA - The number of months during which the eligible employee is entitled to severance pay is called the “Severance Period.” An employee eligible for severance payments who is enrolled in one or more of the following programs under the Envista Holdings Corporation and Subsidiaries Medical Plan, Dental Plan or Vision Plan (“Envista Holdings Corporation Welfare Benefit Plans”) shall be given the opportunity to continue enrollment and coverage in such programs:
*    Medical
*    Prescription Drug
*    Dental
*    Vision
For purposes of medical, prescription drug, dental and vision coverage, the coverage shall be provided under Section 4980B(f) of the Internal Revenue Code (“COBRA”) for the maximum COBRA coverage period available, subject to all conditions and limitations (including payment of premiums) of COBRA. If the eligible employee or one or more covered dependents elects COBRA coverage, he or she shall be solely responsible for paying the full cost of the COBRA coverage (including a two percent administration charge) in the amount and at the time(s) required for as long as, and to the extent that, he or she remains eligible for COBRA coverage, as provided by the COBRA law.
Provided the eligible employee timely signs and returns (and does not revoke when applicable) a Separation Agreement and General Release, the Company shall pay a lump sum payment to the employee equal to the amount the Company would have otherwise contributed toward the employee’s group health, prescription, vision and dental coverage premium as an active employee (“Company COBRA Premium”) for a period of time equal to the Severance Period. Accordingly, the eligible employee shall be receiving COBRA continuation coverage during the Severance Period effectively at the active employee premium contribution rate in effect at the time of the employee’s termination of employment. This lump sum payment shall be subject to standard withholding and payroll deductions.

4



Enrollment in all other Employer benefits, including the Envista Holdings Corporation & Subsidiaries Disability Plan shall cease on the employee’s last day of work (or on the last day of the calendar month in which the last day of work occurs with respect to the Envista Holdings Corporation & Subsidiaries Life Insurance Plan) and will not remain in effect during the Severance Period. (Note: An eligible employee may be entitled to certain COBRA and reimbursement rights for his or her Health Care Flexible Spending Account. Certain reimbursements from his or her Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account may also be available. Contact Human Resources for details.) Severance pay does not constitute compensation for purposes of any Company or Employer 401(k) Plan or any other plan. All contributions to the Envista Holdings Corporation or Employer 401(k) Plan on behalf of the individual receiving severance under the Plan will cease on the employee’s last day of work and any elections to contribute to that plan will not remain in effect during the Severance Period.
C. Rehire and Calculation of Years of Service - Severance pay and COBRA coverage will cease upon an eligible employee’s rehire with any Employer. Notwithstanding Section III.B., if an employee becomes eligible for severance benefits under the Plan, but is then rehired within the 12 month period following the employee’s date of employment termination, the eligible employee’s years of service may be based on the eligible employee’s prior hire date, but only as provided in this Section IV.C which requires each year of service is only payable once.
If an employee becomes eligible for severance benefits under the Plan, but is then rehired within the 12 month period following the employee’s date of employment termination, and is later separated from service and becomes again eligible for severance benefits under the Plan, the eligible employee’s years of service for purposes of calculating severance pay and subsidized COBRA continuation coverage will be calculated based on the eligible employee’s date of hire used in calculating the Plan’s severance benefits paid out before, provided the employee’s years of service is payable only once.
If any employee is separated, paid the maximum amount of severance pay and the maximum payment for subsidized COBRA coverage (as described in Section IV.B above) to which he was entitled under the Plan and is then later rehired, that employee will begin to accumulate years of service for any subsequent severance pay and subsidized COBRA coverage under the Plan only from the date of rehire.
To the extent an employee begins receiving severance pay under the Plan but is rehired before the all of the severance pay has been paid, the severance pay will cease as of the rehire date, and the employee will be credited with the years of service for which he did not receive severance pay for purposes of calculating any subsequent severance pay under the Plan. Because the Company premium contribution for subsidized COBRA coverage is paid up front in a lump sum, rehired employees are expected to reimburse the Company for any Company COBRA premium contribution paid for any years of service being credited to employee upon rehire. (For example, if an eligible employee is entitled to eight (8) months of severance pay for five years of service, but is rehired within the 12 month period following the employee’s date of employment termination and after six (6) months of severance has been paid, that employee would not be credited with six (6) years of service as of his rehire date for purposes of calculating any later severance pay that could become payable under the Plan. The employee would be credited with the two (2) years of service for which no severance benefit had been paid. The employee is expected to reimburse the amount of the Company’s premium contribution already paid to employee for two months to the Company that paid the COBRA subsidy.)
D. Vacation - An employee shall receive vacation pay for any earned and unused vacation pay in accordance with the applicable Employer’s Vacation Policy then in effect. Vacation benefits are not earned or accrued during the Severance Period.
E. Mandated Payments - The severance pay available under this Plan is the maximum amount an eligible employee is entitled to receive in the event of involuntary termination of employment. To the extent that a federal, state or local law may mandate the Employer to make a payment to an eligible employee because of involuntary termination of employment or in accordance with a plant closing law, the severance pay available under the Plan shall be reduced by the amount of such mandated payment. In no event,

5



however, will an eligible employee’s severance pay under this Plan be less than three (3) months of severance pay. The period of an eligible employee’s subsidized COBRA coverage is reduced in the same way.
F. Separation Agreement and General Release - To receive any severance pay and subsidized benefits under the Plan, an eligible employee must sign a Separation Agreement and General Release in a form prepared by the Company, and this Separation Agreement and General Release shall have the effect of waiving and releasing all legally waivable claims or lawsuits against the Employer and its affiliates, its and their respective officers, directors, agents, representatives and employees based on any facts occurring prior to the time of the effective date of the release. An eligible employee age 40 and older will have 21 days (45 days in case of a group separation program) to consider and sign the Separation Agreement and General Release. An eligible employee age 39 and younger will have 14 days to consider and sign the Separation Agreement and General Release. Eligible employees are advised of their right to contact an attorney of their choice at their own expense to review the Separation Agreement and General Release if they so desire. The eligible employee must then submit a signed Separation Agreement and General Release to the Plan Administrator (or its delegate) within the time specified.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any severance pay under the Plan is subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, the payment of such severance pay will begin no later than 90 days after the date the eligible employee’s employment terminates. In the event this 90-day period overlaps two calendar years, the payment of such severance pay will begin in the later calendar year regardless of when the employee signs the Separation Agreement and General Release.
An eligible employee age 40 and older may revoke a signed Separation Agreement and General Release within seven (7) days of signing the Separation Agreement and General Release (within fifteen (15) days for Minnesota employees age 40 and older). An eligible employee age 39 and younger cannot revoke a signed Separation Agreement and General Release. Any revocation by an eligible employee age 40 and older must be made in writing and must be received by the designated Employer representative within such revocation period. An eligible employee who timely revokes the Separation Agreement and General Release shall not be eligible to receive severance pay or continued subsidized COBRA coverage under this Plan. An eligible employee who revokes his or her signature on a Separation Agreement and General Release is required to reimburse the Employer for any severance pay and benefits provided under this Plan prior to the revocation, including severance pay received and COBRA premiums for participation in the Envista Holdings Corporation Welfare Benefit Plans. The Employer reserves all remedies available to it at law for the recovery of such amounts.
G. Section 409A Restrictions - Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, in the event any benefit paid to a participant under the Plan constitutes “deferred compensation” for purposes of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A (“Section 409A”), all payments to such participant shall be paid as provided in this Section. Section 409A places certain restrictions on when severance pay may be distributed if the eligible employee is considered a “specified employee” under Section 409A (generally, “specified employees” are the 50 highest-paid U.S. employees of the Company in a given year) and the severance pay is considered “deferred compensation” under Section 409A. Not all severance pay under this Plan, however, is considered deferred compensation for these purposes.
(1) Any payments provided under the Plan on or before March 15th of the calendar year following the eligible employee’s “separation of service” (as defined by Section 409A) will be treated as a short-term deferral under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4) and not deferred compensation under Section 409A.
(2) If any payments are provided to an eligible employee under the Plan after March 15th of the calendar year following the eligible employee’s “separation of service” (as defined by Section 409A), then to the extent the total of such payments does not exceed the limit provided under the Section 409A exemption for involuntary separation pay, such payments will be considered separation pay due to involuntary separation from service under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) and not deferred compensation under Section 409A.

6



(3) If the eligible employee is entitled to additional payments under the Plan that are not described in subsections (1) or (2) above, and the eligible employee is considered a “specified employee” under Section 409A (as applied according to Company procedures), such payments will not be made until the earlier of (a) the first day of the seventh month following the date of the eligible employee’s “separation from service” (as defined by Section 409A), or (b) the eligible employee’s death. Any delayed payments will be paid in the aggregate in a lump sum, without interest, on the first day of the seventh month following the date of the eligible employee’s “separation from service” (as defined by Section 409A).
(4) For purposes of Section 409A, each “payment” (as defined by Section 409A) made under this Plan is considered a “separate payment.”
H. Death Benefits - In the event an eligible employee dies after severance pay has commenced but before receiving all of the severance pay otherwise payable to the eligible employee under the Plan, the remaining balance of the deceased eligible employee’s severance pay shall be payable to the deceased eligible employee’s then living spouse. If no spouse survives the eligible employee, then the remaining balance will be paid to the deceased eligible employee’s estate. Such payment shall be made in a single lump sum within 30 days of the date of the eligible employee’s death.
V. Termination Or Amendment Of The Plan
Eligible employees do not have any vested right to severance pay or benefits under this Plan. The Plan is intended to be a continuing part of the Company’s benefits program. However, the Company retains the right to amend the Plan at any time in any and all respects, to terminate the Plan in its entirety, or to exclude participation by the employees of certain Employers, at the Company’s sole discretion and without prior consent of the participants. Any such amendment or termination of the Plan shall be effected by a written instrument signed by the Senior Vice President Human Resources of Envista Holdings Corporation, without need of any resolution of the Board of Directors of Envista Holdings Corporation or any Employer.
VI. How The Plan Is Administered
The Company is the “Plan Administrator” of the Plan and the “named fiduciary” within the meaning of such terms as defined in ERISA. The Company has delegated the authority to decide initial claims for benefits under this Plan to the Company’s Benefits Committee. The Company has delegated the authority to make final determinations on appeals of denied claims under this Plan to the Senior Vice President Human Resources.
The Plan Administrator or its delegate shall have the discretionary authority to determine eligibility for Plan benefits and to construe the terms of the Plan, including the making of factual determinations. Benefits under the Plan shall be payable only if the Plan Administrator or its delegate determines, in its sole discretion, that an eligible employee is entitled to them. The decisions of the Plan Administrator or its delegate shall be final and conclusive with respect to all questions concerning the administration of the Plan. The Company may, in its sole discretion, provide additional benefits to a Plan participant, or make available additional or other forms of severance pay or benefits.
The Plan Administrator may delegate to other persons responsibilities for performing certain of the duties of the Plan Administrator under the terms of the Plan and may seek expert advice as the Plan Administrator deems reasonably necessary with respect to the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely upon the information and advice furnished by such persons and experts, unless actually knowing such information and advice to be inaccurate or unlawful.
VII.
How To Make Or Appeal A Claim
A. Making a Claim for Severance Benefits - Generally, eligible employees do not need to make a claim for benefits under the Plan to receive Plan benefits (other than completing the Separation Agreement and General Release to obtain severance pay and benefits). However, if an employee believes he is entitled to benefits, or to greater benefits than are paid under the Plan, the employee may file a claim

7



for benefits with the Company’s Benefits Committee within 180 days of the date the employee’s employment with the Employer terminates. The Benefits Committee will either accept or deny the claim, and will notify the claimant of acceptance or denial of the claim within a reasonable period of time after receipt of the claim by the Benefits Committee.
For purposes of this section, a period of time will be deemed to be unreasonable if it exceeds 90 days after receipt of the claim by the Benefits Committee unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. If such an extension of time for processing is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the termination of the initial 90-day period. In no event shall such extension exceed a period of 90 days from the end of such initial period. The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Benefits Committee expects to render a decision.
The Benefits Committee shall provide to every claimant who is denied a claim for benefits written notice setting forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant:
(1) the specific reason or reasons for the denial;
(2) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based;
(3) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary;
(4) appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the claimant wishes to submit a claim for review; and
(5) a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following a denial of the claim on review.
B. Appealing a Denied Claim - A claimant who does not agree with the decision of the Benefits Committee may appeal to the Senior Vice President Human Resources. A claimant may:
(1) request a review upon written application;
(2) receive copies of all documents, records and other information relevant to the claim upon request and free of charge (including items used in the determination, even if not relied upon in making the final determination, and items demonstrating consistent application and compliance with this Plan’s administrative processes and safeguards); and
(3) submit comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim, even if the information was not submitted or considered in the initial determination, in writing.
The claimant must file any request for review of a denied claim within 60 days after receipt by the claimant of written notification of denial of a claim.
A decision by the Senior Vice President Human Resources shall be made promptly, and shall not ordinarily be made later than 60 days after the Senior Vice President Human Resources’ receipt of a request for review unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than 120 days after receipt of a request for review. If such an extension of time for review is required because of special circumstances, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the commencement of the extension.
The Senior Vice President Human Resources will notify the claimant of its decision in writing. This notice will include specific reasons for the decision, written in a manner to be understood by the claimant, as well as specific references to the pertinent plan provisions on which the decision is based. If the claim is denied, the notice will also include a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, copies of all documents, records or other information relevant to the claim and a statement of the

8



claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. Such civil action must be filed, however, within 180 days after the appeal is denied.
VIII. Other Plan Provisions
A. No Assignment - Severance pay payable under the Plan shall not be subject to alienation, pledge, sale, transfer, assignment, attachment, execution or encumbrance or any kind and any attempt to do so shall be void, except as required by law.
B. Recovery of Payments/Benefits Provided By Mistake - An eligible employee shall be required to return to the Employer any severance pay or Company COBRA Premium contributions, or portion thereof, made by a mistake of fact or law, or contrary to the terms of the Plan (for example, an Employer erroneously pays an eligible employee severance pay in excess of the amount provided by this Plan), and the Employer shall have all remedies available at law for the recovery of such amounts.
C. No Representations Contrary to the Plan - No supervisor, manager, employee, officer, or director of the Employer has the authority to alter, vary or modify the terms of the Plan, other than through authorized written amendment as provided in Section V. No verbal or written representations contrary to the terms of the Plan and its written amendments shall be binding upon the Plan, the Plan Administrator or the Employer.
D. Plan Funding - No eligible employee shall acquire by reason of the Plan any right in or title to any assets, funds, or property of the Employer. Any severance benefits which become payable under the Plan are unfunded obligations of the Employer and shall be paid from the general assets of the Employer. No employee, officer, director or agent of the Employer guarantees in any manner the payment of Plan severance benefits.
E. Severability - If a provision of the Plan is found, held or deemed by the Plan Administrator or a court of competent jurisdiction to be void, unlawful or unenforceable under any applicable statute or other controlling law, the provision shall be severed from the Plan and the remainder of the Plan shall continue in full force and effect.
F. Return of Employer Property - Except as otherwise permitted by the Employer in writing, all Employer property (i.e., keys, credit cards, documents and records, identification cards, computers and business equipment, car/mobile telephones, parking stickers, etc.) must be returned by an eligible employee as of his or her date of termination of employment from the Employer in order for the eligible employee to commence receiving severance pay and benefits under the Plan.
IX. Erisa Rights
Participants in the Plan are entitled to certain rights and protection under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). ERISA provides that all Plan participants shall be entitled to:
Receive Information About the Plan and Benefits
Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator’s office, all documents governing the Plan, and a copy of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) filed by the Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor and available at the Public Disclosure Room of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.
Obtain, upon written request to the Plan Administrator, copies of documents governing the operation of the Plan, copies of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) and an updated summary plan description. The Plan Administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies.
Receive a summary of the Plan’s annual financial report (if any). The Plan Administrator may be required by law to furnish each participant with a copy of this summary annual report.

9



Prudent Actions of Fiduciaries
In addition to creating rights for Plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the Plan. The people who operate the Plan, called “fiduciaries” of the Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of Plan participants and beneficiaries. No one, including the Employer or any other person, may fire or otherwise discriminate against a Plan participant under the Plan or prevent the participant from obtaining a Plan benefit or exercising a right under ERISA.
Enforcing Rights
If the claim for a Plan benefit is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, a participant has a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge, and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules.
Under ERISA, there are steps a participant can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if the participant requests a copy of the Plan documents or the latest annual report from the Plan Administrator and does not receive them within 30 days, the participant may file suit in a federal court. In such case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and pay the participant up to $110 a day until the participant receives the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator.
If the participant has a claim for benefits which is denied after exhaustion of the appeal process, or is ignored, in whole or in part, the participant may file suit in a state or federal court. If it should happen that Plan fiduciaries misuse the Plan’s money, or if a participant is discriminated against for asserting the participant’s rights, the participant may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or file suit in a federal court. The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If the participant is successful, the court may order the person the participant sued to pay these costs and fees. If the participant loses, the court may order the participant to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds the claim is frivolous.
Assistance with Questions
If a participant has any questions about the Plan, the participant should contact the Plan Administrator. If a participant has any questions about this statement or about rights under ERISA, or if needs assistance in obtaining documents from the Plan Administrator, the participant should contact the nearest office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in the telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210. Participants may also obtain certain publications about participant rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.

a. I agree that all Work Product (defined below) and Intellectual Property Rights (defined below) shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. “ Work Product ” means all writings, inventions, discoveries, ideas and other work product of any nature whatsoever that I create on my own or in collaboration with others during my employment with the Company and that relates to the business, contemplated business, research or development of the Company. “ Intellectual Property Rights ” means all rights in and to copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks (and related goodwill), patents and other intellectual property rights arising out of the Work Product, in any jurisdiction throughout the world, and all related rights of priority under international conventions.

To the extent that any Work Product is not “work made for hire,” I hereby irrevocably assign to the Company, for no additional consideration, my entire right, title and interest in and to all Work Product and Intellectual Property Rights therein.

I hereby irrevocably grant the Company power of attorney to execute and deliver any such documents on my behalf and in my name and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to transfer the Work Product to the Company and further the transfer, issuance, prosecution and maintenance of all Intellectual Property Rights therein, to the full extent permitted by law, in the event that I don’t promptly cooperate with the Company’s request. The power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall not be affected by my subsequent incapacity.
d. I represent and warrant that I am not a party to any agreements which would limit my ability to assign Work Product or Intellectual Property Rights as required by this Section 8.
e. I have identified in the space below (and have attached additional paper as needed) all Work Product and Intellectual Property in which I have any right, title or interest, and which were developed by me prior to my employment with the Company and which relate to the actual or anticipated business or research or development of the Company as provided for in this Section 8.

11.      At-Will Employment Status . I acknowledge and agree that that nothing in this Agreement alters my status as an employee at will.
12.      Assignment . This Agreement is personal to me and I may not assign it. The Company may assign it to any assign, or a successor to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, and no further consent from me is necessary. If I previously executed any written agreements with Danaher Corporation or its affiliates (the “Danaher Group”) or any Envista Companies that contain provisions similar to the provisions contained in this Agreement, I hereby consent to the assignment of those agreements to the Company.
13.      Change of Position . If the Company changes my position or title with the Company, or my employment changes from one Envista Company to another, this Agreement and my obligations hereunder will remain in force.
14.      Protections for Subsidiaries. This Agreement is intended to benefit all Envista subsidiaries for which I perform services, for which I have customer contact or about which I receive Confidential Information. Therefore, any Envista Company that may be adversely affected by a breach, and any successor or assignee of such Envista Company may enforce this Agreement regardless of which entity actually employs me at the time.

In particular, but without limitation, I will make myself available for meetings,

4


interviews, depositions, and court appearances, as requested by the Company, and to otherwise assist the Company or any other Envista Company in connection with any such investigation or litigation.
16.      Other Agreements. If I executed other written agreements relating to this subject matter with the Company or with the Danaher Group, and/or if I later enter into other written agreements that contain provisions similar to the provisions contained in this Agreement, all such provisions shall be interpreted to provide the Company and, as applicable, the Danaher Group, with cumulative rights and remedies, and the benefits and protections provided to the Company and, as applicable, the Danaher Group, under each such agreement shall be given full force and effect. If I executed other written agreements relating to this subject matter with the Company, any Envista Companies, or Danaher Group companies, and/or if I later enter into other written agreements that contain provisions similar to the provisions contained in this Agreement, all such provisions shall be interpreted to provide the Company with cumulative rights and remedies and the benefits and protections provided to the Company under each such agreement shall be given full force and effect.
17.      Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without applying its conflict of laws principles. The exclusive venue for any litigation based upon any fact, matter or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including any contractual, statutory, tort, or common law claims, shall be the state or federal courts located in Delaware and I hereby consent to any such court’s exercise of personal jurisdiction over me for such purpose.

Confidential Information does not include any specific information that has been voluntarily disclosed to the public by the Company or that has been independently developed and disclosed by others, or that otherwise has entered the public domain through lawful means. However, Confidential Information disclosed by me or others without authorization by the Company shall not be deemed “voluntarily disclosed to the public.”
b .     Nondisclosure and Prohibition against Misuse . During my employment, I will not use or disclose any Confidential Information, without the Company’s prior written permission, for any purpose other than performance of my duties for the Company or as set forth in Section 4 below.

Immediately upon my employment termination, I will return to the Company all Company property that I have in my possession, custody, or control, including, without limitation, any Confidential Information. If I have Confidential Information that has been saved or transferred to any device not owned by the Company, I will immediately notify the Company, and make such device available to the Company so that it may remove any Confidential Information from the device.
2.      Protection of Company Interests .
a.      Exclusive Employment . During my employment I will not engage in any other employment, occupation, consulting or other business activity that competes with or conflicts with my obligations to the Company. In addition, while I am an employee of the Company, I shall not take any action,

1


without the Company’s prior written consent, to establish, form, or become employed by a competing business prior to my employment termination.
b.      Non-Use of Trade Secrets to Compete . Without limiting my obligations under Sections 1 or this Section 2, I further agree that I will not, either directly or indirectly, use the Company’s trade secrets to (i) solicit, recruit, induce, or attempt to solicit, recruit, or induce any employee or independent contractor of the Company to work for me or my new employer or (ii) influence or attempt to influence any of the Company’s customers or vendors to divert their business to any person or business entity then in competition with, or with a demonstrable intent to compete with, the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
3.      Non-Disparagement . I agree that during my employment, and after my employment with the Company ends, I will not make any false statement(s) about the Company to other employees, customers, vendors or any other third party.
4 .     Limitations on Confidentiality and Non-Disparagement . The confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions in this Agreement do not prohibit me from providing truthful information in good faith to any federal or state governmental agency, entity or official investigating an alleged violation of federal or state law or regulation or when I make other disclosures that are protected under applicable law, including, without limitation, the National Labor Relations Act, the Defend Trade Secrets Act, and any rule or regulation promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), or any other federal, state, or local government agency. Without limiting the foregoing, I also acknowledge that I have been notified in accordance with the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 that I will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. I further acknowledge that I have been notified that if I file a lawsuit for retaliation against the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, I may disclose the Company’s trade secrets with my attorney and use the trade secret information related to that suspected violation of law in the court proceeding if I: (a) file any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (b) do not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.
5.      Other Legal Obligations . Nothing in this Agreement relieves me of any duties or obligations that I have to the Company under statutory or common law, which include but are not limited to: fiduciary duties, the duty of loyalty, the duty not to tortiously interfere with business relationships, the duty not to engage in unfair competition, and the duty not to misappropriate trade secrets.
6.      Subsequent Employment Protocol. During my employment and for 24 months after termination of my employment, prior to accepting employment with any person or entity, I will provide my prospective employer with a copy of this Agreement, and I consent to the Company’s right, at any time, to notify such employer of this Agreement, as well as the details of any alleged violations thereof. Additionally, within three calendar days after accepting any employment with another employer, I will notify the Company of such subsequent employer’s name, address and telephone number, and the title and description of the job duties for which I have accepted employment.
7.      Certifications . By executing this Agreement, I certify that I: (a) have not and will not use or disclose to the Company any confidential information and/or trade secrets belonging to others, including my prior employers; (b) will not use any prior inventions made by me and which the Company is not legally entitled to learn of or use; and (c) am not subject to any prior agreements that would prevent me from fully performing my duties for the Company.
8.      Protection of Proprietary Rights.
a. Except as excluded under Sections 8(e) and (f) below, I agree that all Work Product (defined below) and Intellectual Property Rights (defined below) shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. “ Work Product ” means all writings, inventions, discoveries, ideas and other work product of

2


any nature whatsoever that I create on my own or in collaboration with others during my employment with the Company and that relates to the business, contemplated business, research or development of the Company. “ Intellectual Property Rights ” means all rights in and to copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks (and related goodwill), patents and other intellectual property rights arising out of the Work Product, in any jurisdiction throughout the world, and all related rights of priority under international conventions.
b. I acknowledge that, by reason of being employed by the Company, all of the Work Product is, to the extent permitted by law, “work made for hire” and is the property of the Company. To the extent that any Work Product is not “work made for hire,” I hereby irrevocably assign to the Company, for no additional consideration, my entire right, title and interest in and to all Work Product and Intellectual Property Rights therein other than as excluded in Sections 8(e) and 8(f) below.
c. During and after my employment, I agree to reasonably cooperate with the Company to (i) apply for, obtain, perfect and transfer to the Company the Work Product and any Intellectual Property Rights in the Work Product in any jurisdiction in the world; and (ii) maintain, protect and enforce the same. I hereby irrevocably grant the Company power of attorney to execute and deliver any such documents on my behalf and in my name and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to transfer the Work Product to the Company and further the transfer, issuance, prosecution and maintenance of all Intellectual Property Rights therein, to the full extent permitted by law, in the event that I don’t promptly cooperate with the Company’s request. The power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall not be affected by my subsequent incapacity.
d. I represent and warrant that I am not a party to any agreements which would limit my ability to assign Work Product or Intellectual Property Rights as required by this Section 8.
e. I have identified in the space below (and have attached additional paper as needed) all Work Product and Intellectual Property in which I have any right, title or interest, and which were developed by me prior to my employment with the Company and which relate to the actual or anticipated business or research or development of the Company as provided for in this Section 8.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
f .    I understand that the terms “Work Product” and “Intellectual Property” do not apply to any development for which no equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret or Confidential Information of the Company was used, and which was developed entirely on my own time unless (a) the Work Product or Intellectual Property relates: (i) to the actual or anticipated business of the Company; or (ii) to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development or (b) the Work Product or Intellectual Property results from any work performed by me for the Company. I acknowledge that I have been notified of my rights under Labor Code Section 2870 pursuant to Exhibit A attached hereto.
9.      Injunctive Relief and Attorney’s Fees . I agree that in the event I breach this Agreement, the Company will be irreparably harmed and entitled to an injunction restraining any further breach, in addition to any other rights to which it is entitled. Further, I will be responsible for all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Company if it successfully enforces any portion of this Agreement against me. Additionally, any time periods for restrictions set forth in Section 2 above will be extended by an amount of time equal to the duration of any time period during which I am in violation of this Agreement.
10.      Modification & Severability . If any portion of this Agreement shall be held unenforceable, the parties agree that a court of competent jurisdiction may modify the agreement (by adding or removing language) or sever unenforceable provisions in order to render this Agreement enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
11.      At-Will Employment Status . I acknowledge and agree that that nothing in this Agreement alters my status as an employee at will.

3


12.      Assignment . This Agreement is personal to me and I may not assign it. The Company may assign it to any assign, or a successor to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, and no further consent from me is necessary. If I previously executed any written agreements with Danaher Corporation or its affiliates (the “ Danaher Group ”) or any Envista Companies that contain provisions similar to the provisions contained in this Agreement, I hereby consent to the assignment of those agreements to the Company.
13.      Change of Position . If the Company changes my position or title with the Company, or my employment changes from one Envista Company to another, this Agreement and my obligations hereunder will remain in force.
14.      Protections for Subsidiaries. This Agreement is intended to benefit all Envista subsidiaries for which I perform services, for which I have customer contact or about which I receive Confidential Information. Therefore, any Envista Company that may be adversely affected by a breach, and any successor or assignee of such Envista Company may enforce this Agreement regardless of which entity actually employs me at the time.
15.      Cooperation. Both during and after my employment with the Company, I will cooperate with the Company and any other Envista Company in connection with any investigation or litigation in which the Company believes that I am an individual with knowledge concerning the subject matter of the investigation or litigation. In particular, but without limitation, I will make myself available for meetings, interviews, depositions, and court appearances, as requested by the Company, and to otherwise assist the Company or any other Envista Company in connection with any such investigation or litigation.
16.      Other Agreements. If I executed other written agreements relating to this subject matter with the Company or with the Danaher Group, and/or if I later enter into other written agreements that contain provisions similar to the provisions contained in this Agreement, all such provisions shall be interpreted to provide the Company and, as applicable, the Danaher Group, with cumulative rights and remedies, and the benefits and protections provided to the Company and, as applicable, the Danaher Group, under each such agreement shall be given full force and effect. If I executed other written agreements relating to this subject matter with the Company, any Envista Companies, or Danaher Group companies, and/or if I later enter into other written agreements that contain provisions similar to the provisions contained in this Agreement, all such provisions shall be interpreted to provide the Company with cumulative rights and remedies and the benefits and protections provided to the Company under each such agreement shall be given full force and effect.

EXHIBIT A
LABOR CODE § 2870
In accordance with California Labor Code, § 2870, this Agreement Regarding Solicitation and Protection of Proprietary Interests does not require you to assign to the Company any Work Product or Intellectual Property Rights for which none of our equipment, supplies, facility, or trade secret information was used and that was developed entirely on your own time, and does not relate to our business or to our actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or does not result from any work performed by you for us.
The following is the text of California Labor Code, § 2870:
“(a)    Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions that either:
(1)    Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer; or
(2)    Result from any work performed by the employee for the employer.
(b)    To the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being required to be assigned under subdivision (a), the provision is against the public policy of this state and is unenforceable.”

II.
AGREEMENT
1. Grant of Option . The Company hereby grants to the Optionee named in this Grant Notice (the “Optionee”), an option (the “Option” or the “Options” as the case may be) to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) set forth in the Grant Notice, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Exercise Price”), and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference.
2. Exercise of Option .
(a) Right to Exercise . This Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Agreement.
(b) Method and Time of Exercise . This Option shall be exercisable by any method permitted by the Plan and this Agreement that is made available from time to time by the external third party administrator of the Options. An exercise may be made with respect to whole Shares only, and not for a fraction of a Share. Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares comply with (or are exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the Company’s securities may then be traded. The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors may require the Optionee to take any reasonable action in order to comply with any such rules or regulations.



Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date the Option is exercised with respect to such Shares.
(c) Acknowledgment of Potential Securities Law Restrictions . Unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covers the Shares issued upon exercise of an Option, the Committee may require that the Optionee agree in writing to acquire such Shares for investment and not for public resale or distribution, unless and until the Shares subject to the Options are registered under the Securities Act. The Committee may also require the Optionee to acknowledge that he or she shall not sell or transfer such Shares except in compliance with all applicable laws, and may apply such other restrictions as it deems appropriate. The Optionee acknowledges that the U.S. federal securities laws prohibit trading in the stock of the Company by persons who are in possession of material, non-public information, and also acknowledges and understands the other restrictions set forth in the Company’s Insider Trading Policy.
(d) Fractional Shares . The Company will not issue fractional Shares upon the exercise of an Option. Any fractional Share will be rounded up and issued to the Optionee in a whole Share; provided that to the extent rounding a fractional Share up would result in the imposition of either (i) individual tax and penalty interest charges imposed under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Section 409A”), or (ii) adverse tax consequences if the Optionee is located outside of the United States, the fractional Share will be rounded down without the payment of any consideration in respect of such fractional Share.
(e) Automatic Exercise Upon Expiration Date . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (other than this Section), on the last trading day on which all or a portion of the outstanding Option may be exercised, if as of the close of trading on such day the then Fair Market Value of a Share exceeds the per share Exercise Price of the Option by at least $.01 (such expiring portion of the Option that is so in-the-money, an “Auto-Exercise Eligible Option”), the Optionee will be deemed to have automatically exercised such Auto-Exercise Eligible Option (to the extent it has not previously been exercised, forfeited or terminated) as of the close of trading in accordance with the provisions of this Section. In the event of an automatic exercise pursuant to this Section, the Company will reduce the number of Shares issued to the Optionee upon such automatic exercise of the Auto-Exercise Eligible Option in an amount necessary to satisfy (1) the Optionee’s Exercise Price obligation for the Auto-Exercise Eligible Option, and (2) the minimum amount (or such other rate that will not cause adverse accounting consequences for the Company) of tax required to be withheld, if any, arising upon the automatic exercise in accordance with the procedures of Section 6(f) of the Plan (unless the Committee deems that a different method of satisfying the tax withholding obligations is practicable and advisable), in each case based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the close of trading on the date of exercise. The Optionee may notify the Plan record-keeper in writing in advance that the Optionee does not wish for the Auto-Exercise Eligible Option to be exercised. This Section shall not apply to the Option to the extent that this Section causes the Option to fail to qualify for favorable tax treatment under applicable law. In its discretion, the Company may determine to cease automatically exercising Options at any time.

3. Method of Payment . Unless the Committee consents otherwise, payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee:
(a) cash, delivered to the external third party administrator of the Options in any methodology permitted by such third party administrator;
(b) payment under a cashless exercise program approved by the Company or through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Optionee (i) shall provide written instructions to a licensed broker acceptable to the Company and acting as agent for the Optionee to effect the immediate sale of some or all of the purchased Shares and to remit to the Company, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchased Shares and (ii) shall provide written direction to the Company to deliver the purchased Shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale transaction; or

2


(c) surrender of other Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the exercised Options.
4. Termination .
(a) General . In the event the Optionee’s active service-providing relationship with the Company terminates for any reason (other than death, Early Retirement or Normal Retirement) whether or not in breach of applicable labor laws, Optionee’s right to receive options under the Plan shall terminate as of the date of termination. The Committee shall have discretion to determine whether the Optionee has ceased actively providing services to the Company or Eligible Subsidiary, and the effective date on which such active service-providing relationship terminated. The Optionee’s active service-providing relationship will not be extended by any notice period mandated under applicable law ( e.g., shall not include a period of “garden leave”, paid administrative leave or similar period pursuant to applicable law) and in the event of the Optionee’s termination (whether or not in breach of applicable labor laws), the Optionee’s right to exercise any Option after termination, if any, shall be measured by the date of termination of active service and shall not be extended by any notice period mandated under applicable law. Unless the Committee provides otherwise termination will include instances in which the Optionee is terminated and immediately hired as an independent contractor.
(b) General Termination Rule . In the event the Optionee’s active service-providing relationship with the Company terminates for any reason (other than death, Disability, Early Retirement, Normal Retirement or Gross Misconduct), whether or not in breach of applicable labor laws, the Optionee shall have a period of 90 days, commencing with the date the Optionee is no longer actively providing services to the Company, to exercise the vested portion of any outstanding Options, subject to the Expiration Date of the Option. However, if the exercise of an Option following the Optionee’s termination (to the extent such post-termination exercise is permitted under Section 12(a) of the Plan) is not covered by an effective registration statement on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, then the Option will terminate upon the later of (i) thirty (30) days after such exercise becomes covered by an effective registration statement, (ii) in the event that a sale of Shares would subject the Optionee to liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, thirty (30) days after the last date on which such sale would result in liability, or (iii) the end of the original post-termination exercise period, but in no event may the Option be exercised after the Expiration Date of the Option.
(c) Death . Upon the Optionee’s death prior to termination, unless contrary to applicable law and unless otherwise provided by the Administrator either initially or subsequent to the grant of the Option, all unexpired Options may be exercised for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter (subject to the Expiration Date of the Option) by the personal representative of the Optionee’s estate or any other person to whom the Option is transferred under a will or under the applicable laws of descent and distribution.
(d) Disability . In the event the Optionee’s active service-providing relationship with the Company terminates by reason of the Optionee’s Disability, unless contrary to applicable law and unless otherwise provided by the Administrator either initially or subsequent to the grant of the Option, all unvested Options shall be automatically forfeited by the Optionee as of the date of termination and the Optionee shall have until the first anniversary of the termination of the Optionee’s active service-providing relationship for Disability (subject to the Expiration Date of the Option) to exercise the vested portion of any outstanding Options.
(e) Retirement . In the event the Optionee’s active service-providing relationship with the Company terminates as a result of Retirement, and the Date of Grant of the Option precedes the Optionee’s Retirement date by at least six (6) months, the Optionee’s Options shall remain outstanding and may be exercised until the fifth anniversary of the Retirement date (or if earlier, the Expiration Date of the Option). If the Date of Grant of the Option does not precede the Optionee’s Retirement date by at least six (6) months, the post-termination exercise period with respect to such Option shall be governed by the other provisions of this Section 4, as applicable.

3


(f) Gross Misconduct . If the Optionee is terminated as an Eligible Director by reason of Gross Misconduct as determined by the Administrator, the Administrator in its sole discretion may provide that all, or any portion specified by the Administrator, of the Optionee’s unexercised Options shall terminate and be forfeited immediately, without consideration. The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Optionee’s termination shall also be deemed to be a termination by reason of the Optionee’s Gross Misconduct if, after the Optionee’s active service-providing relationship has terminated, facts and circumstances are discovered or confirmed by the Company that would have justified a termination for Gross Misconduct.
(g) Violation of Post-Termination Covenant . To the extent that any of the Optionee’s Options remain outstanding under the terms of the Plan or this Agreement after termination of the Optionee’s active service-providing relationship, such Options shall nevertheless expire as of the date the Optionee violates any covenant not to compete or similar covenant that exists between the Optionee on the one hand and the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, on the other hand.
(h) Substantial Corporate Change . Upon a Substantial Corporate Change, the Optionee’s outstanding Options will terminate unless provision is made in writing in connection with such transaction for the assumption or continuation of the Options, or the substitution for such Options of any options or grants covering the stock or securities of a successor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary of such successor, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares of stock and prices, in which event the Options will continue in the manner and under the terms so provided.
5. Non-Transferability of Option; Term of Option .
(a) Unless the Committee determines otherwise in advance in writing, the Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the applicable laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee and/or by his or her duly appointed guardian. The terms of the Plan and this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs and permitted successors and assigns of the Optionee
(b) Notwithstanding any other term in this Agreement, the Option may be exercised only prior to the Expiration Date set out in the Grant Notice, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Agreement.
6. Amendment of Option or Plan . The Plan and this Agreement constitute the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Optionee expressly warrants that he or she is not accepting this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein. The Board may amend, modify or terminate the Plan or any Option in any respect at any time; provided, however, that modifications to this Agreement or the Plan that materially and adversely affect the Optionee’s rights hereunder can be made only in an express written contract signed by the Company and the Optionee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise this Agreement and the Optionee’s rights under outstanding Options as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Optionee, (1) upon a Substantial Corporate Change, (2) as required by law, or (3) to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Section 409A”) or to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A in connection with this award of Options.
7. Tax Obligations .
(a) Taxes . Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all federal, state, local or foreign income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax related items (“Tax Related Items”), the Optionee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax Related Items associated with the Option is and remains the Optionee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option, including, but not limited

4


to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (ii) does not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s liability for Tax Related Items. Further, if Optionee is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, Optionee acknowledges that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b) Code Section 409A . Payments made pursuant to the Plan and the Agreement are intended to qualify for an exemption from or comply with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement, the Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or the Agreement to ensure that all Options granted to Optionees who are United States taxpayers are made in such a manner that either qualifies for exemption from or complies with Section 409A; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations that the Plan or the Options shall be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to the Plan or any Options granted thereunder. If the Agreement fails to meet the requirements of Section 409A, neither the Company nor any of its Eligible Subsidiaries shall have any liability for any tax, penalty or interest imposed on the Optionee by Section 409A, and the Optionee shall have no recourse against the Company or any of its Eligible Subsidiaries for payment of any such tax, penalty or interest imposed by Section 409A.
8. Rights as Shareholder . Until all requirements for exercise of the Option pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and the Plan have been satisfied, the Optionee shall not be deemed to be a shareholder or to have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to any Shares.
9. No Right to Continue as Eligible Director . Nothing in the Plan or the Agreement shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continuation as an Eligible Director.
10. Board Authority . The Board and/or the Committee shall have the power to interpret the Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Agreement as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether any Options have vested). All interpretations and determinations made by the Board and/or the Committee in good faith shall be final and binding upon the Optionee, the Company and all other interested persons and such determinations of the Board and/or the Committee do not have to be uniform nor do they have to consider whether optionees are similarly situated.
11. Headings . The captions used in this Agreement and the Plan are inserted for convenience and shall not be deemed to be a part of the Option for construction and interpretation.
12. Electronic Delivery .
(a) If the Optionee executes this Agreement electronically, for the avoidance of doubt the Optionee acknowledges and agrees that his or her execution of this Agreement electronically (through an on-line system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company, or otherwise) shall have the same binding legal effect as would execution of this Agreement in paper form. The Optionee acknowledges that upon request of the Company he or she shall also provide an executed, paper form of this Agreement.
(b) If the Optionee executes this Agreement in paper form, for the avoidance of doubt the parties acknowledge and agree that it is their intent that any agreement previously or subsequently entered into between the parties that is executed electronically shall have the same binding legal effect as if such agreement were executed in paper form.
(c) If the Optionee executes this Agreement multiple times (for example, if the Optionee first executes this Agreement in electronic form and subsequently executes this Agreement in paper form), the Optionee acknowledges and agrees that (i) no matter how many versions of this Agreement are executed and in whatever medium, this Agreement only evidences a single grant of Options relating to the number of Shares set forth in the Grant Notice and (ii) this Agreement shall be effective as of the earliest execution of

5


this Agreement by the parties, whether in paper form or electronically, and the subsequent execution of this Agreement in the same or a different medium shall in no way impair the binding legal effect of this Agreement as of the time of original execution.
(d) The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver by electronic means any documents related to the Option, to participation in the Plan, or to future awards granted under the Plan, or otherwise required to be delivered to the Optionee pursuant to the Plan or under applicable law, including but not limited to, the Plan, the Agreement, the Plan prospectus and any reports of the Company generally provided to shareholders. Such means of electronic delivery may include, but do not necessarily include, the delivery of a link to the Company’s intranet or the internet site of a third party involved in administering the Plan, the delivery of documents via electronic mail (“e-mail”) or such other means of electronic delivery specified by the Company. By executing this Agreement, the Optionee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery. At the Optionee’s written request to the Secretary of the Company, the Company shall provide a paper copy of any document at no cost to the Optionee.
13. Data Privacy . The Company is located at 200 S. Kraemer Blvd., Building E, Brea, California 92821, United States of America and grants Options under the Plan to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries in its sole discretion. In conjunction with the Company’s grant of Options under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such awards, the Company is providing the following information about its data collection, processing and transfer practices (“Personal Data Activities”). In accepting the grant of the Option, the Optionee expressly and explicitly consents to the Personal Data Activities as described herein.
(a) Data Collection, Processing and Usage . The Company collects, processes and uses the Optionee’s personal data, including the Optionee’s name, home address, e-mail address, and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Options or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Optionee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Optionee. In granting the Option under the Plan, the Company will collect the Optionee’s personal data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the collection, processing and usage of the Optionee’s personal data is the Optionee’s consent.
(b) Stock Plan Administration Service Provider . The Company transfers the Optionee’s personal data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services LLC, an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Stock Plan Administrator”). In the future, the Company may select a different Stock Plan Administrator and share the Optionee’s personal data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for the Optionee to receive and trade Shares acquired under the Plan. The Optionee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a condition to the Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan.
(c) International Data Transfers . The Company and the Stock Plan Administrator are based in the United States. The Optionee should note that the Optionee’s country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Optionee’s personal data to the United States is the Optionee’s consent.
(d) Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal . The Optionee’s participation in the Plan and his or her grant of consent is purely voluntary. The Optionee may deny or withdraw his or her consent at any time. If the Optionee does not consent, or if the Optionee later withdraws his or her consent, the Optionee may be unable to participate in the Plan. This would not affect the Optionee’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Optionee merely may forfeit the opportunities associated wit the Plan.

6


(e) Data Subject Rights . The Optionee may have a number of rights under the data privacy laws in the Optionee’s country of residence. For example, the Optionee’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data. (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Optionee’s country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Optionee’s personal data. To receive clarification regarding the Optionee’s rights or to exercise his or her rights, the Optionee should contact the Company’s local human resources department.
14. Waiver of Right to Jury Trial . EACH PARTY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY RIGHT OR EXPECTATION AGAINST THE OTHER TO TRIAL OR ADJUDICATION BY A JURY OF ANY CLAIM, CAUSE OR ACTION ARISING WITH RESPECT TO THE OPTION OR HEREUNDER, OR THE RIGHTS, DUTIES OR LIABILITIES CREATED HEREBY.
15. Agreement Severable . In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
16. Governing Law and Venue . The laws of the State of Delaware (other than its choice of law provisions) shall govern this Agreement and its interpretation. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises with respect to this Option, this Agreement or the Plan, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Delaware, and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of New Castle County, or the United States Federal court for the District of Delaware, and no other courts; and waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that the laying of the venue of any legal or equitable proceedings related to, concerning or arising from such dispute which is brought in any such court is improper or that such proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum. Any claim under the Plan, this Agreement or any Option must be commenced by Optionee within twelve (12) months of the earliest date on which Optionee’s claim first arises, or Optionee’s cause of action accrues, or such claim will be deemed waived by Optionee.
17. Nature of Option . In accepting the Option, Optionee acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b) the award of the Option is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of options or benefits in lieu of options, even if options have been granted repeatedly in the past;
(c) all decisions with respect to future equity awards, if any, shall be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d) the Optionee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;
(e) the Option and any Shares acquired under the Plan, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace or supplement any pension rights or compensation;
(f) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty, and if the Shares do not increase in value, the Option will have no value;
(g) if the Optionee exercises the Option and obtains Shares, the value of the Shares obtained upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even below the Exercise Price;
(h) in consideration of the award of the Option, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the Option or diminution in value of the Option, or Shares purchased through the exercise of the Option, resulting from termination of the Optionee’s continuous service

7


by the Company or any Subsidiary (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of applicable labor laws of the applicable jurisdiction) and in consideration of the grant of the Option, Optionee irrevocably releases the Company and any Subsidiary from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing/electronically accepting the Agreement, the Optionee shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived the Optionee’s entitlement to pursue or seek remedy for any such claim;
(i) the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Optionee’s participation in the Plan or Optionee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares;
(j) the Optionee should consult with the Optionee’s own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the Optionee’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan; and
(k) neither the Company nor any other Eligible Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Optionee’s local currency and the U.S. Dollar that may affect the value of the Option or of any amounts due to the Optionee pursuant to the exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon exercise.
18.     Severability . The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.
19.     Waiver . The Optionee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the Optionee or any other participant.
20.     Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws . By accepting the Options, the Optionee acknowledges that the Optionee is bound by all the terms and conditions of any Company insider trading policy as may be in effect from time to time. The Optionee further acknowledges that, depending on the Optionee’s country, the Optionee may be or may become subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect the Optionee’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., Options) or rights linked to the value of Shares under the Plan during such times as the Optionee is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the applicable jurisdictions). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Optionee placed before the Optionee possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Optionee could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, which may include fellow employees and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any Company insider trading policy as may be in effect from time to time. The Optionee acknowledges that it is the Optionee’s personal responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and Optionee should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.
21.     Legal and Tax Compliance; Cooperation . If the Optionee resides or is employed outside of the United States, the Optionee agrees, as a condition of the grant of the Options, to repatriate all payments attributable to the Shares and/or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends and any proceeds derived from the sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the Options) if required by and in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in the Optionee's country of residence (and country of employment, if different). In addition, the Optionee also agrees to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Eligible Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and its Eligible Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Optionee's country of residence (and country of employment, if different). Finally, the Optionee agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Optionee's personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in the Optionee's country of residence (and country of employment, if different).

8


22.     Private Offering . The grant of the Options is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Optionee's country of residence (and country of employment, if different). The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filing with the local securities authorities with respect to the grant of the Options (unless otherwise required under local law). No employee of the Company is permitted to advise the Optionee on whether the Optionee should purchase Shares under the Plan or provide the Optionee with any legal, tax or financial advice with respect to the grant of the Options. Investment in Shares involves a degree of risk. Before deciding to purchase Shares pursuant to the Options, the Optionee should carefully consider all risk factors and tax considerations relevant to the acquisition of Shares under the Plan or the disposition of them. Further, the Optionee should carefully review all of the materials related to the Options and the Plan, and the Optionee should consult with the Optionee's personal legal, tax and financial advisors for professional advice in relation to the Optionee's personal circumstances.
23.     Foreign Asset/Account Reporting and Exchange Controls . The Optionee's country may have certain exchange control and/or foreign asset/account reporting requirements which may affect the Optionee's ability to acquire or hold Shares under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends paid on Shares or sale proceeds resulting from the sale of Shares) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Optionee's country. The Optionee may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in his or her country. The Optionee may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan to the Optionee’s country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt. The Optionee acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable regulations, and that the Optionee should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.
24.     Imposition of Other Requirements . The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, on the Option and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons and provided the imposition of the term or condition will not result in adverse accounting expense to the Company, and to require the Optionee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
25.     Recoupment . The Options granted pursuant to this Agreement are subject to the terms of the Envista Holdings Corporation Recoupment Policy in the form approved by the Committee from time to time (including any successor thereto, the “Policy”) if and to the extent such Policy by its terms applies to the Options, and to the terms required by applicable law; and the terms of the Policy and such applicable law are incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof. For purposes of the foregoing, the Optionee expressly and explicitly authorizes the Company to issue instructions, on the Optionee's behalf, to any brokerage firm and/or third party administrator engaged by the Company to hold the Optionee's Shares and other amounts acquired pursuant to the Optionee's Options, to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such Shares and/or other amounts to the Company upon the Company's enforcement of the Policy. To the extent that the Agreement and the Policy conflict, the terms of the Policy shall prevail.
26.      Notices . The Company may, directly or through its third party stock plan administrator, endeavor to provide certain notices to the Optionee regarding certain events relating to awards that the Optionee may have received or may in the future receive under the Plan, such as notices reminding the Optionee of the vesting or expiration date of certain awards. The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that (1) the Company has no obligation (whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) to provide any such notices; (2) to the extent the Company does provide any such notices to the Optionee the Company does not thereby assume any obligation to provide any such notices or other notices; and (3) the Company, its Subsidiaries and the third party stock plan administrator have no liability for, and the Optionee has no right whatsoever (whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) to make any claim against the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or the third party stock plan administrator based on any allegations of, damages or harm suffered by the Optionee as a result of the Company’s failure to provide any such notices or the Optionee’s failure to receive any such notices. The Optionee further agrees to notify the Company upon any change in his or her residence address.

9


27.      Limitations on Liability . Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan or this Agreement, no individual acting as a director, employee, or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will be liable to the Optionee or the Optionee’s spouse, beneficiary, or any other person or entity for any claim, loss, liability, or expense incurred in connection with the Plan, nor will such individual be personally liable because of any contract or other instrument he or she executes in such other capacity. No member of the Board or of the Committee will be liable for any action or determination (including, but limited to, any decision not to act) made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Option.
28.     Consent and Agreement With Respect to Plan . The Optionee (a) acknowledges that the Plan and the prospectus relating thereto are available to the Optionee on the website maintained by the Company’s third party stock plan administrator; (b) represents that he or she has read and is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel of his or her choice prior to executing this Agreement and fully understands all provisions of the Agreement and the Plan; (c) accepts this Option subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof; and (d) agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement.

Exhibit 10.18


ENVISTA HOLDINGS CORPORATION
2019 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
(Independent Directors)
Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Envista Holdings Corporation 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) will have the same defined meanings in this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”).
I.
GRANT NOTICE
Name:
Address:
The undersigned Participant has been granted an Award of Restricted Stock Units, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, as follows (each of the following capitalized terms are defined terms having the meaning indicated below):
Date of Grant
 
 
 
 
 
Number of Restricted Stock Units
 
 
 
 
 
Time-Based Vesting Criteria
 
 
II.
AGREEMENT
1. Grant of RSUs . Envista Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) hereby grants to the Participant named in this Grant Notice (the “Participant”), an Award of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference.
2. Vesting .
(a) Vesting Schedule . Except as may otherwise be set forth in this Agreement or in the Plan, RSUs awarded to a Participant shall not vest until the Participant continues to be actively providing services to the Company for the periods required to satisfy the time-based vesting criteria (“Time-Based Vesting Criteria”) applicable to such RSUs. The Time-Based Vesting Criteria applicable to RSUs are referred to as “Vesting Conditions,” and the date upon which all Vesting Conditions are satisfied is referred to as the “Vesting Date.” The Vesting Conditions shall be established by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors and reflected in the account maintained for the Participant by an external third party administrator of the RSUs. Further, during any approved leave of absence (and without limiting the application of any other rules governing leaves of absence that the Committee may approve from time to time pursuant to the Plan), to the extent permitted by applicable law the Committee shall have discretion to provide that the vesting of the RSUs shall be frozen as of the first day of the leave (or as of any subsequent day during such leave, as applicable) and shall not resume until and unless the Participant returns to active service.
(b) Fractional RSU Vesting . In the event the Participant is vested in a fractional portion of an RSU (a “Fractional Portion”), such Fractional Portion will be rounded up and converted into a whole share of Company Common Stock (“Share”) and issued to the Participant; provided that to the extent rounding a fractional share up would result in the imposition of either (i) individual tax and penalty interest charges imposed under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Section 409A”), or (ii) adverse tax



consequences if the Participant is located outside of the United States, the fractional share will be rounded down without the payment of any consideration in respect of such fractional share.
3. Form and Timing of Payment; Conditions to Issuance of Shares .
(a) Form and Timing of Payment . The Award of RSUs represents the right to receive a number of Shares equal to the number of RSUs that vest pursuant to the Vesting Conditions. Unless and until the RSUs have vested in the manner set forth in Sections 2 and 4, the Participant shall have no right to payment of any such RSUs. Prior to actual issuance of any Shares underlying the RSUs, such RSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. Subject to the other terms of the Plan and this Agreement, any RSUs that vest in accordance with Sections 2 and 4 will be paid to the Participant in whole Shares on the earlier of (i) the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s separation from service as an Eligible Director, or (ii) the Participant’s date of death (or in each case the next business day thereafter if such date is not a business day). The Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares comply with (or are exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the Company’s securities may then be traded. The Committee may require the Participant to take any reasonable action in order to comply with any such rules or regulations.
(b) Acknowledgment of Potential Securities Law Restrictions . Unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covers the Shares issued upon vesting of an RSU, the Committee may require that the Participant agree in writing to acquire such Shares for investment and not for public resale or distribution, unless and until the Shares subject to the RSUs are registered under the Securities Act. The Committee may also require the Participant to acknowledge that he or she shall not sell or transfer such Shares except in compliance with all applicable laws, and may apply such other restrictions as it deems appropriate. The Participant acknowledges that the U.S. federal securities laws prohibit trading in the stock of the Company by persons who are in possession of material, non-public information, and also acknowledges and understands the other restrictions set forth in the Company’s Insider Trading Policy.
4. Termination .
(a) General . In the event the Participant’s active service-providing relationship with the Company terminates (the date of any such termination is referred to as the “Termination Date”) for any reason (other than death, Early Retirement or Normal Retirement) whether or not in breach of applicable labor laws, unless contrary to applicable law and unless otherwise provided by the Administrator either initially or subsequent to the grant of the RSUs, all RSUs that are unvested as of the Termination Date shall automatically terminate as of the Termination Date and the Participant’s right to receive further RSUs under the Plan shall also terminate as of the Termination Date. The Committee shall have discretion to determine whether the Participant has ceased actively providing services to the Company, and the effective date on which such active service-providing relationship terminated. The Participant’s active service-providing relationship will not be extended by any notice period mandated under applicable law ( e.g. a period of “garden leave,” paid administrative leave or similar period pursuant to applicable law). Unless the Committee provides otherwise, termination will include instances in which the Participant is terminated and immediately rehired as an independent contractor.
(b) Death . Upon Participant’s death, any unvested RSUs shall vest.
(c) Retirement .
(i) Upon termination of Participant’s active service-providing relationship with the Company by reason of the Participant’s Early Retirement, unless contrary to applicable law and unless otherwise provided by the Committee either initially or subsequent to the grant of the RSUs, a pro-rata portion of the RSUs that are unvested as of the Early Retirement date (i.e. based on the ratio of (x) the number of full or partial months worked by the Participant from the Date of Grant to the Early Retirement

2


date to (y) the total number of months in the original time-based vesting schedule for such RSUs) will vest as of the Time-Based Vesting Date for such RSUs.
(ii) Upon termination of Participant’s active service-providing relationship with the Company by reason of the Participant’s Normal Retirement, unless contrary to applicable law and unless otherwise provided by the Committee either initially or subsequent to the grant of the RSUs, the RSUs that are unvested as of the Normal Retirement date will vest as of the Time-Based Vesting Date for such RSUs.
(d) Gross Misconduct . If the Participant is terminated as an Eligible Director by reason of Gross Misconduct as determined by the Administrator, the Administrator in its sole discretion may provide that all, or any portion specified by the Administrator, of the Participant’s unvested RSUs shall automatically terminate as of the time of termination without consideration. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant’s termination shall also be deemed to be a termination by reason of the Participant’s Gross Misconduct if, after the Participant’s active service-providing relationship has terminated, facts and circumstances are discovered or confirmed by the Company that would have justified a termination for Gross Misconduct.
(e) Violation of Post-Termination Covenant . To the extent that any of the Participant’s RSUs remain outstanding under the terms of the Plan or this Agreement after the Termination Date, such RSUs shall expire as of the date the Participant violates any covenant not to compete or similar covenant that exists between the Participant on the one hand and the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, on the other hand.
(f) Substantial Corporate Change . Upon a Substantial Corporate Change, the Participant’s unvested RSUs will terminate unless provision is made in writing in connection with such transaction for the assumption or continuation of the RSUs, or the substitution for such RSUs of any options or grants covering the stock or securities of a successor employer corporation, or a parent or subsidiary of such successor, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares of stock and prices, in which event the RSUs will continue in the manner and under the terms so provided.
5. Non-Transferability of RSUs . Unless the Committee determines otherwise in advance in writing, RSUs may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the applicable laws of descent or distribution. The terms of the Plan and this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs and permitted successors and assigns of the Participant.
6. Amendment of RSUs or Plan . The Plan and this Agreement constitute the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Participant expressly warrants that he or she is not accepting this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein. The Board may amend, modify or terminate the Plan or the RSUs in any respect at any time; provided, however, that modifications to this Agreement or the Plan that materially and adversely affect the Participant’s rights hereunder can be made only in an express written contract signed by the Company and the Participant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise this Agreement and the Participant’s rights under outstanding RSUs as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Participant, (1) upon a Substantial Corporate Change, (2) as required by law, or (3) to comply with Section 409A or to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A in connection with the RSUs.
7. Tax Obligations .
(a) Taxes . Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all federal, state, local or foreign income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax related items (“Tax Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax Related Items associated with the RSUs is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and that the Company (i) makes no

3


representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the RSUs, the delivery of Shares, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired at vesting and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (ii) does not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax Related Items. Further, if the Participant is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b) Code Section 409A . Payments made pursuant to this Plan and the Agreement are intended to qualify for an exemption from or comply with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement, the Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or this Agreement to ensure that all RSUs granted to Participants who are United States taxpayers are made in such a manner that either qualifies for exemption from or complies with Section 409A; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations that the Plan or the RSUs shall be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to the Plan or any RSUs granted thereunder. If this Agreement fails to meet the requirements of Section 409A, neither the Company nor any of its Eligible Subsidiaries shall have any liability for any tax, penalty or interest imposed on the Participant by Section 409A, and the Participant shall have no recourse against the Company or any of its Eligible Subsidiaries for payment of any such tax, penalty or interest imposed by Section 409A.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, these provisions shall apply to any payments and benefits otherwise payable to or provided to the Participant under this Agreement. For purposes of Section 409A, each “payment” (as defined by Section 409A) made under this Agreement shall be considered a “separate payment.” In addition, for purposes of Section 409A, payments shall be deemed exempt from the definition of deferred compensation under Section 409A to the fullest extent possible under (i) the “short-term deferral” exemption of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4), and (ii) (with respect to amounts paid as separation pay no later than the second calendar year following the calendar year containing the Participant’s “separation from service” (as defined for purposes of Section 409A)) the “two years/two-times” involuntary separation pay exemption of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), which are hereby incorporated by reference.
For purposes of making a payment under this Agreement, if any amount is payable as a result of a Substantial Corporate Change, such event must also constitute a “change in ownership or effective control” of the Company or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A.
If the Participant is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A (and as applied according to procedures of the Company and its Subsidiaries) as of his or her separation from service, to the extent any payment under this Agreement constitutes deferred compensation (after taking into account any applicable exemptions from Section 409A), and such payment is payable by reason of a separation from service, then to the extent required by Section 409A, no payments due under this Agreement may be made until the earlier of: (i) the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s separation from service, or (ii) the Participant’s date of death; provided, however, that any payments delayed during this six-month period shall be paid in the aggregate in a lump sum, without interest, on the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s separation from service
8. Rights as Shareholder . Until all requirements for vesting of the RSUs pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan have been satisfied, the Participant shall not be deemed to be a shareholder of the Company, and shall have no dividend rights or voting rights with respect to the RSUs or any Shares underlying or issuable in respect of such RSUs until such Shares are actually issued to the Participant.
9. No Right to Continue as Eligible Director . Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continuation as an Eligible Director.

4


10. Board Authority . The Board and/or the Committee shall have the power to interpret this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Agreement as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether any RSUs have vested). All interpretations and determinations made by the Board and/or the Committee in good faith shall be final and binding upon the Participant, the Company and all other interested persons and such determinations of the Board and/or the Committee do not have to be uniform nor do they have to consider whether Plan participants are similarly situated.
11. Headings . The captions used in this Agreement and the Plan are inserted for convenience and shall not be deemed to be a part of the RSUs for construction and interpretation.
12. Electronic Delivery .
(a) If the Participant executes this Agreement electronically, for the avoidance of doubt the Participant acknowledges and agrees that his or her execution of this Agreement electronically (through an on-line system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company, or otherwise) shall have the same binding legal effect as would execution of this Agreement in paper form. The Participant acknowledges that upon request of the Company he or she shall also provide an executed, paper form of this Agreement.
(b) If the Participant executes this Agreement in paper form, for the avoidance of doubt the parties acknowledge and agree that it is their intent that any agreement previously or subsequently entered into between the parties that is executed electronically shall have the same binding legal effect as if such agreement were executed in paper form.
(c) If the Participant executes this Agreement multiple times (for example, if the Participant first executes this Agreement in electronic form and subsequently executes this Agreement in paper form), the Participant acknowledges and agrees that (i) no matter how many versions of this Agreement are executed and in whatever medium, this Agreement only evidences a single Award relating to the number of RSUs set forth in the Grant Notice and (ii) this Agreement shall be effective as of the earliest execution of this Agreement by the parties, whether in paper form or electronically, and the subsequent execution of this Agreement in the same or a different medium shall in no way impair the binding legal effect of this Agreement as of the time of original execution.
(d) The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver by electronic means any documents related to the RSUs, to participation in the Plan, or to future awards granted under the Plan, or otherwise required to be delivered to the Participant pursuant to the Plan or under applicable law, including but not limited to, the Plan, this Agreement, the Plan prospectus and any reports of the Company generally provided to shareholders. Such means of electronic delivery may include, but do not necessarily include, the delivery of a link to the Company’s intranet or the internet site of a third party involved in administering the Plan, the delivery of documents via electronic mail (“e-mail”) or such other means of electronic delivery specified by the Company. By executing this Agreement, the Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery. At the Participant’s written request to the Secretary of the Company, the Company shall provide a paper copy of any document at no cost to the Participant.
13. Data Privacy . The Company is located at 200 S. Kraemer Blvd., Building E, Brea, California 92821, United States of America and grants RSUs under the Plan to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries in its sole discretion. In conjunction with the Company’s grant of the RSUs under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such awards, the Company is providing the following information about its data collection, processing and transfer practices (“Personal Data Activities”). In accepting the grant of the RSUs, the Participant expressly and explicitly consents to the Personal Data Activities as described herein.
(a) Data Collection, Processing and Usage . The Company collects, processes and uses the Participant’s personal data, including the Participant’s name, home address, e-mail address, and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary,

5


citizenship, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all RSUs or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, which the Company receives from the Participant. In granting the RSUs under the Plan, the Company will collect the Participant’s personal data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the collection, processing and usage of the Participant’s personal data is the Participant’s consent.
(b) Stock Plan Administration Service Provider . The Company transfers the Participant’s personal data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services LLC, an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Stock Plan Administrator”). In the future, the Company may select a different Stock Plan Administrator and share the Participant’s personal data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for the Participant to receive and trade Shares acquired under the Plan. The Participant will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a condition to the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.
(c) International Data Transfers . The Company and the Stock Plan Administrator are based in the United States. The Participant should note that the Participant’s country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Participant’s personal data to the United States is the Participant’s consent.
(d) Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal . The Participant’s participation in the Plan and his or her grant of consent is purely voluntary. The Participant may deny or withdraw his or her consent at any time. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later withdraws his or her consent, the Participant may be unable to participate in the Plan. This would not affect the Participant’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Participant merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.
(e) Data Subjects Rights . The Participant may have a number of rights under the data privacy laws in the Participant’s country of residence. For example, the Participant’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Participant’s country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Participant’s personal data. To receive clarification regarding the Participant’s rights or to exercise his or her rights, the Participant should contact the Company’s local human resources department.
14. Waiver of Right to Jury Trial . EACH PARTY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY RIGHT OR EXPECTATION AGAINST THE OTHER TO TRIAL OR ADJUDICATION BY A JURY OF ANY CLAIM, CAUSE OR ACTION ARISING WITH RESPECT TO THE RSUS OR HEREUNDER, OR THE RIGHTS, DUTIES OR LIABILITIES CREATED HEREBY.
15. Agreement Severable . In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

6


16. Governing Law and Venue . The laws of the State of Delaware (other than its choice of law provisions) shall govern this Agreement and its interpretation. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises with respect to the RSUs, this Agreement or the Plan, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Delaware, and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of New Castle County, or the United States Federal court for the District of Delaware, and no other courts; and waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that the laying of the venue of any legal or equitable proceedings related to, concerning or arising from such dispute which is brought in any such court is improper or that such proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum. Any claim under the Plan, this Agreement or the RSUs must be commenced by the Participant within twelve (12) months of the earliest date on which the Participant’s claim first arises, or the Participant’s cause of action accrues, or such claim will be deemed waived by the Participant.
17. Nature of RSUs . In accepting the RSUs, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b) the award of RSUs is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of RSUs or benefits in lieu of RSUs, even if RSUs have been awarded repeatedly in the past;
(c) all decisions with respect to future equity awards, if any, shall be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d) the Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;
(e) the award of RSUs and any Shares acquired under the Plan, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace or supplement any pension rights or compensation;
(f) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(g) the value of the Shares acquired upon vesting/settlement of the RSUs may increase or decrease in value;
(h) in consideration of the award of RSUs, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the RSUs or from any diminution in value of the RSUs or the Shares upon vesting of the RSUs resulting from termination of the Participant’s continuous service with the Company or any Subsidiary (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of applicable labor laws of the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any) and in consideration of the grant of the RSUs, the Participant agrees not to institute any claim against the Company or any Subsidiary; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing the Agreement/electronically accepting the Agreement, Participant shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived the Participant’s entitlement to pursue or seek remedy for any such claim;
(i) neither the Company, nor any other Eligible Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant's local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the RSUs or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon vesting; and
(j) unless otherwise agreed with the Company in writing, the RSUs, the underlying Shares and the income from and value of same are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, any service Participant may provide as a director of a Subsidiary or affiliate.

7


18. Severability . The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.
19. Waiver . The Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the Participant or any other participant.
20. Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws . By accepting the RSUs, the Participant acknowledges that the Participant is bound by all the terms and conditions of any Company insider trading policy as may be in effect from time to time. The Participant further acknowledges that, depending on the Participant's country, the Participant may be or may become subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect the Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., RSUs) or rights linked to the value of Shares under the Plan during such times as the Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the applicable jurisdictions). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant placed before the Participant possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, which may include fellow employees and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any Company insider trading policy as may be in effect from time to time. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s personal responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and the Participant should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.
21. Legal and Tax Compliance; Cooperation . If the Participant resides or is employed outside of the United States, the Participant agrees, as a condition of the grant of the RSUs, to repatriate all payments attributable to the Shares and/or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends and any proceeds derived from the sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs) if required by and in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in the Participant 's country of residence (and country of employment, if different). In addition, the Participant also agrees to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Eligible Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and its Eligible Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Participant's country of residence (and country of employment, if different). Finally, the Participant agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Participant's personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in the Participant 's country of residence (and country of employment, if different).
22. Private Offering . The grant of the RSUs is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Participant's country of residence (and country of employment, if different). The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filing with the local securities authorities with respect to the grant of the RSUs (unless otherwise required under local law). No employee of the Company is permitted to advise the Participant on whether the Participant should acquire Shares under the Plan or provide the Participant with any legal, tax or financial advice with respect to the grant of the RSUs. Investment in Shares involves a degree of risk. Before deciding to acquire Shares pursuant to the RSUs, the Participant should carefully consider all risk factors and tax considerations relevant to the acquisition of Shares under the Plan or the disposition of them. Further, the Participant should carefully review all of the materials related to the RSUs and the Plan, and the Participant should consult with the Participant's personal legal, tax and financial advisors for professional advice in relation to the Participant's personal circumstances.
23. Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements and Exchange Controls . The Participant's country may have certain foreign asset/ account reporting requirements and exchange controls which may affect the Participant's ability to acquire or hold Shares under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including any dividends paid on Shares, sale proceeds resulting from the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Participant's country. The Participant may be

8


required to report such accounts, assets, or transactions to the tax or other authorities in the Participant's country. The Participant may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of the Participant's participation in the Plan to the Participant's country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant's responsibility to be compliant with such regulations and the Participant should consult his or her personal legal advisor for any details.
24. Imposition of Other Requirements . The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant's participation in the Plan, on the RSUs and on any Shares subject to the RSUs, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons and provided the imposition of the term or condition will not result in any adverse accounting expense to the Company, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
25. Recoupment . The RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement are subject to the terms of the Envista Holdings Corporation Recoupment Policy in the form approved by the Committee from time to time (including any successor thereto, the “Policy”) if and to the extent such Policy by its terms applies to the RSUs, and to the terms required by applicable law; and the terms of the Policy and such applicable law are incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof. For purposes of the foregoing, the Participant expressly and explicitly authorizes the Company to issue instructions, on the Participant's behalf, to any brokerage firm and/or third party administrator engaged by the Company to hold the Participant's Shares and other amounts acquired pursuant to the Participant's RSUs, to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such Shares and/or other amounts to the Company upon the Company's enforcement of the Policy. To the extent that the Agreement and the Policy conflict, the terms of the Policy shall prevail.
26. Notices . The Company may, directly or through its third party stock plan administrator, endeavor to provide certain notices to the Participant regarding certain events relating to awards that the Participant may have received or may in the future receive under the Plan, such as notices reminding the Participant of the vesting or expiration date of certain awards. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that (1) the Company has no obligation (whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) to provide any such notices; (2) to the extent the Company does provide any such notices to the Participant the Company does not thereby assume any obligation to provide any such notices or other notices; and (3) the Company, its Subsidiaries and the third party stock plan administrator have no liability for, and the Participant has no right whatsoever (whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) to make any claim against the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or the third party stock plan administrator based on any allegations of, damages or harm suffered by the Participant as a result of the Company’s failure to provide any such notices or the Participant’s failure to receive any such notices. The Participant further agrees to notify the Company upon any change in his or her residence address.
27. Limitations on Liability . Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan or this Agreement, no individual acting as a director, employee, or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will be liable to the Participant or the Participant’s spouse, beneficiary, or any other person or entity for any claim, loss, liability, or expense incurred in connection with the Plan, nor will such individual be personally liable because of any contract or other instrument he or she executes in such other capacity. No member of the Board or of the Committee will be liable for any action or determination (including, but limited to, any decision not to act) made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any RSUs.
28. Consent and Agreement With Respect to Plan . The Participant (a) acknowledges that the Plan and the prospectus relating thereto are available to the Participant on the website maintained by the Company’s third party stock plan administrator; (b) represents that he or she has read and is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel of his or her choice prior to executing this Agreement and fully understands all provisions of the Agreement and the Plan; (c) accepts these RSUs subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof; and (d) agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement.

Exhibit 10.20

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
This Agreement is made as of the last date set forth below by and between Envista Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation), and the individual whose signature is set forth on the signature line below (the “Indemnitee”), a director or officer of the Corporation.
WHEREAS, it is essential to the Corporation to retain and attract as directors and officers the most capable persons available; and
WHEREAS, the Corporation and Indemnitee recognize the continued difficulty in obtaining appropriate liability insurance coverage for the Corporation’s directors and officers in light of the significant and continual increases in the cost of such insurance and the general trend of insurance companies to reduce the scope of coverage of such insurance; and
WHEREAS, the Corporation and Indemnitee further recognize the increase in corporate litigation in general, subjecting directors and officers to expensive litigation risks at the same time as the availability, cost and scope of coverage of liability insurance provide increasing challenges to the Corporation; and
WHEREAS, it is now and has always been the express policy of the Corporation to indemnify its directors and officers; and
WHEREAS, the Corporation desires the Indemnitee to serve, or continue to serve, as a director or officer of the Corporation.
NOW THEREFORE, the Corporation and the Indemnitee do hereby agree as follows:
1. Agreement to Serve . The Indemnitee agrees to serve or continue to serve as a director or officer of the Corporation for so long as the Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or until the effective date of Indemnitee’s resignation, if earlier.
2. Definitions . As used in this Agreement:
(a) The term “Change in Control” shall mean the earliest to occur after the date of this Agreement of any one of the following:

(ii)    during any period of two (2) consecutive years (not including any period prior to the execution of this Agreement), individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”), and any new director (other than (x) any director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Corporation to effect a transaction described in Sections 2(a)(i), 2(a)(iii), 2(a)(iv) or 2(a)(v), and (y) any director whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Corporation's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a least a majority of the members of the Board;
(iii)    the effective date of a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with any other entity, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the surviving entity outstanding



immediately after such merger or consolidation and with the power to elect at least a majority of the board of directors or other governing body of such surviving entity;
(iv)    the effective date of the sale or disposition by the Corporation of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets; and
(v)    the approval by the stockholders of the Corporation of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation.
For purposes of this Section 2(a), the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(A)    “Exchange Act” shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(C)    “Beneficial Owner” shall have the meaning given to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that Beneficial Owner shall exclude any Person otherwise becoming a Beneficial Owner by reason of the stockholders of the Corporation approving a merger of the Corporation with another entity.
(b) The term “Corporate Status” shall mean the status of a person who is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer, fiduciary, partner, trustee, member or employee of, or in a similar capacity with, any Enterprise.
(c) The term “Enterprise” shall mean the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which Indemnitee is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, fiduciary, partner, trustee, member or employee, or in any similar capacity.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under

2


the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Corporation or the Indemnitee in an action to determine the Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. The Corporation agrees to fully indemnify the Independent Counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

3. Indemnity of Indemnitee . Subject to Sections 6, 7 and 9, the Corporation shall indemnify the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding as to which the Indemnitee is, was or is threatened to be made a party (or is otherwise involved) by reason of the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, to the fullest extent permitted by law (as such may be amended from time to time). In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof:
(a) Indemnification in Third-Party Proceedings . The Corporation shall indemnify the Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(a) if the Indemnitee was or is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or a Proceeding referred to in Section 6 below) by reason of the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in connection therewith, against all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner which the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
(b) Indemnification in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation . The Corporation shall indemnify the Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(b) if the Indemnitee was or is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor (other than a Proceeding referred to in Section 6 below) by reason of the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in connection therewith, against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such Proceeding, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner which the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, except that, if applicable law so requires, no indemnification shall be made under this Section 3(b) in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which the Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation, unless, and only to the extent, that the Court of Chancery of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of such liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such Expenses as the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
4. Indemnification of Expenses of Successful Party . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that the Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein (other than a Proceeding referred to in Section 6), the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection therewith. For purposes of this Section and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.
5. Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness . To the extent that the Indemnitee is, by reason of the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding to which the Indemnitee is not a

3


party, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection therewith.
6. Exceptions to Right of Indemnification . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Corporation shall not indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement:
(a)    in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by the Indemnitee unless the initiation thereof was (i) approved by the Board, or (ii) in connection with successfully establishing Indemnitee’s right to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement; or
(b)    to the extent the Indemnitee is reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, and in the event the Corporation makes any indemnification payments to the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee is subsequently reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, the Indemnitee shall promptly refund such indemnification payments to the Corporation to the extent of such insurance reimbursement.
7. Notification and Defense of Claim .
(a)    The Indemnitee shall notify the Corporation in writing as soon as practicable of any Proceeding for which indemnity will or could be sought and provide the Corporation with a copy of any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to such Proceeding with which Indemnitee is served. The failure to so notify the Corporation will not relieve the Corporation from any liability that it may have to Indemnitee except to the extent the failure adversely affects the Corporation’s rights, legal position, ability to defend or ability to obtain insurance coverage with respect to such proceeding. The Corporation will be entitled to participate in any such Proceeding at its own expense. Indemnitee shall have the right to engage Indemnitee’s own counsel in connection with such Proceeding. Indemnitee’s counsel shall cooperate reasonably with the Corporation’s counsel to minimize the cost of defending claims against the Corporation and Indemnitee.
(b)    The Corporation shall not be required to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent. The Corporation shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner that would impose any penalty or limitation on the Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s written consent. Neither the Corporation nor the Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold or delay their consent to any proposed settlement.
8. Advancement of Expenses . Subject to the provisions of Section 9, any Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding for which indemnity could be sought under this Agreement shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding; provided, however , that the payment of such Expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced in the event that it shall ultimately be determined, after the conclusion of such Proceeding, that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Agreement. Such undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the financial ability of the Indemnitee to make repayment. Any advances and undertakings to repay pursuant to this Section 8 shall be unsecured and interest-free. This Section 8 shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to Section 6.
9. Procedures .
(a) In order to obtain indemnification or advancement of Expenses pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including in such request such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses. Any such indemnification or advancement of Expenses shall be made promptly, and in any event within (i) in the case of indemnification under Sections 4, 5, 8 or 9(f), 30 calendar days after receipt by the Corporation of the written request of the Indemnitee, or (ii) in the case

of all other indemnification, 60 calendar days after receipt by the Corporation of the written request of the Indemnitee, subject to the provisions of Sections 9(b) below.
(b) With respect to requests for indemnification under Section 3, indemnification shall be made unless the Corporation determines that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 3. Any determination as to whether Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 3, and any determination that advanced Expenses must be subsequently repaid to the Corporation, shall be made, in the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, (1) by a majority vote of the directors of the Corporation consisting of persons who are not at that time parties to the Proceeding (“disinterested directors”), whether or not a quorum, (2) by a committee of disinterested directors designated by a majority vote of disinterested directors, whether or not a quorum, (3) if there are no disinterested directors, or if the disinterested directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, or (4) by the stockholders of the Corporation. Any such determination with respect to requests under Section 3 shall be made within the 60-day period referred to in clause (ii) of Section 9(a) (unless extended by mutual agreement by the Corporation and Indemnitee).
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if a request for indemnification is made after a Change in Control, any determination required to be made pursuant to Section 9(b) above as to whether the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct or is required to repay advanced Expenses shall be made by Independent Counsel selected as provided in this Section 9(c). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Indemnitee, unless the Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The party making the determination shall give written notice to the other party advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. The party receiving such notice may, within seven days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the other party a written objection to such selection. Such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If a written objection is made, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after submission by the Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected or if selected, shall have been objected to, in accordance with this paragraph either the Corporation or the Indemnitee may petition the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or other court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Corporation or the Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom an objection is favorably resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel. The Corporation shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred in connection with its acting in such capacity. The Corporation shall pay any and all reasonable and necessary fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this paragraph, regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.
(d) The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner that the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
(e)    For purposes of any determination under this Section 9, to the extent permitted by law Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, if his action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise, or on information supplied to him by the officers of the

5


Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Enterprise. The provisions of this Section 9(e) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.
(f)    The Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in so cooperating shall be borne by the Corporation (irrespective of the determination as to the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Corporation hereby indemnifies the Indemnitee therefrom.
10.     Remedies . The right to indemnification or advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall be enforceable by the Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction. In connection with any determination as to whether the Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement, the court shall presume that the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct and is entitled to indemnification, and, unless otherwise required by law, the burden of proof shall be on the Corporation to establish by clear and convincing evidence that the Indemnitee is not so entitled. Neither the failure of the Board of Directors (or other person or body appointed pursuant to Section 9) to have made a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination pursuant to Section 9 that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to an action brought to enforce this Agreement or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. The Indemnitee’s Expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with successfully establishing the Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such Proceeding shall also be indemnified by the Corporation.
11.     Partial Indemnification . If the Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a portion of the Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement to which the Indemnitee is entitled.
12.     Contribution . To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Corporation, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Corporation and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Corporation (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).
13.     Acknowledgment of certain matters . Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Corporation has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake, by the Securities and Exchange Commission, to submit the question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the Corporation’s right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee.

14.     Subrogation . In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Corporation to bring suit to enforce such rights.
15.     Term of Agreement . This Agreement shall commence as of the last date set forth below and continue until and terminate upon the later of (a) ten years after the date that the Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director or officer of the Corporation or, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer, fiduciary, partner, trustee, member or employee of any Enterprise or (b) the final termination of all Proceedings pending on the date set forth in clause (a) in respect of which the Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by the Indemnitee pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement relating thereto.
16.     Indemnification Hereunder Not Exclusive . The indemnification and advancement of Expenses provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the Indemnitee may be entitled under the Certification of Incorporation, the By-Laws, any other agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, the General Corporation Law of Delaware, any other law (common or statutory), or otherwise, both as to action in the Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office for the Corporation. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Corporation from purchasing and maintaining insurance, at its expense, to protect itself or the Indemnitee against any expense, liability or loss incurred by it or the Indemnitee in any such capacity, or arising out of the Indemnitee’s status as such, whether or not the Indemnitee would be indemnified against such expense, liability or loss under this Agreement.
17.     No Special Rights . Nothing herein shall confer upon the Indemnitee any right to continue to serve as an officer or director of the Corporation for any period of time or at any particular rate of compensation.
18.     Savings Clause . If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.
19.     Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall constitute the original.
20.     Successors and Assigns . This Agreement shall be binding upon the Corporation and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives of the Indemnitee. The Corporation shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Corporation expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.
21.     Headings . The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

22.     Modification and Waiver . This Agreement may be amended from time to time to reflect changes in Delaware law or for other reasons. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof nor shall any such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
23.     Notices . All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (i) when delivered by hand or (ii) if mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third day after the date on which it is so mailed:
(a)    if to the Indemnitee, to such address as Indemnitee has most recently furnished to the Company.

Envista Holdings Corporation
200 S. Kraemer Blvd., Building E
Brea, California 92821
Attention: General Counsel

or to such other address as may have been furnished to the Indemnitee by the Corporation.
24.     Applicable Law . This Agreement and the legal relations among the parties shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. The Corporation and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in the Delaware Court, and not in any other state or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country, (ii) consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court for purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) appoint, to the extent such party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Delaware, The Corporation Trust Company, Wilmington, Delaware as its agent in the State of Delaware as such party’s agent for acceptance of legal process in connection with any such action or proceeding against such party with the same legal force and validity as if served upon such party personally within the State of Delaware, (iv) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court, and (v) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Delaware Court has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum.
25.     Enforcement . The Corporation expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement in order to induce the Indemnitee to continue to serve as an officer or director of the Corporation, and acknowledges that the Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in continuing in such capacity.
26.     Entire Agreement . This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supercedes all prior agreements, whether oral or written, by any officer, employee or representative of any party hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein; and any prior agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein is hereby terminated and cancelled. For avoidance of doubt, the parties confirm that the foregoing does not apply to or limit the Indemnitee’s rights under Delaware law or the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws.
