Danaher Deferred Compensation Plan Participants
November 15, 2019
Dear Envista employee,
You are receiving this email because you currently participate in one or more of Danaher’s deferred compensation plans (EDIP, DCP, ECP).
As you probably saw, today, Danaher announced that it is launching a split-off exchange offer – a
transaction that allows Danaher shareholders the choice to exchange their Danaher common stock for Envista common stock. Following the split-off, Danaher expects that it will no longer have an ownership
interest in Envista. We are excited by what the future holds for Envista as it begins its journey as a standalone company.
As a result of the split-off and Danaher’s distribution of the remainder of its Envista shares, we intend to transition your balances in the Danaher deferred compensation plans to the equivalent Envista plans. Note also that any
Danaher stock fund balances will be mapped to an Envista stock fund such that, immediately following the split-off, the value of your Envista stock fund will equal the value of the Danaher stock fund you held
immediately before the split-off. Any applicable vesting schedules will remain unchanged.
More information about
this transition and the mapping of your balances under the EDIP and DCP/ECP are provided here and here, respectively.
