Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement

On November 4, 2019, Dover Corporation (the “Company”) issued 500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 0.750% Notes due 2027 (the “Euro Notes”) and $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.950% Notes due 2029 (the “USD Notes” and, together with the Euro Notes, the “Notes”) in concurrent separate public offerings pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-216433), the Company’s prospectus, dated March 3, 2017, as supplemented by separate preliminary prospectus supplements and prospectus supplements, dated October 28, 2019, each as previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
