• Transaction date & price: 2026-02-02, 489 shares @ $218.89 per share (total $107,037).
• Transaction type: Award/Grant (derivative/notional shares under deferred compensation).

• Footnotes: F1–F3 indicate this is the company’s annual contribution to the Danaher stock fund in the reporting person’s deferred-compensation account; contributions are recorded as unfunded notional shares that convert one-for-one; vesting and distribution follow the plan terms (see Danaher’s proxy/Schedule 14A).

Context

• This is a routine employer contribution to a deferred compensation plan and represents notional/derivative shares rather than a market purchase or sale. Such awards reflect compensation plan mechanics and do not by themselves indicate insider buying or selling intent. For details on vesting and distribution, consult Danaher’s proxy statement (Schedule 14A).
