DANAHER CORP /DE/ 8-K Report, Material Agreement (Apr 29, 2026)
Danaher Corporation (DHR) has filed an 8-K detailing the issuance of €2.98 billion (approximately) in senior notes. This offering includes both floating-rate notes maturing in 2028 and fixed-rate notes with maturities in 2030, 2034, and 2038, carrying interest rates of 3.250%, 3.625%, and 4.000% respectively. The primary stated use of these proceeds is to fund a portion of the cash consideration and associated costs for the proposed acquisition of Masimo Corporation. Danaher also retains the flexibility to use a portion of the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including debt refinancing and working capital. This debt issuance provides significant capital to support Danaher's strategic growth initiatives, particularly the pending Masimo acquisition. The notes are unsecured senior indebtedness, ranking equally with existing unsecured senior debt. Investors should note the early redemption provisions, including a potential "Par Call" option for fixed-rate notes and a special mandatory redemption if the Masimo Acquisition is not consummated, which would trigger a redemption at 101% of the principal amount. Additionally, a change of control triggering event would allow noteholders to demand repurchase at 101%.
