Monitor the status of the Masimo acquisition by the November 16, 2026 deadline, as failure to close would trigger mandatory redemption of the fixed rate notes at a 1% premium, potentially impacting Danaher's liquidity and credit profile.
Price Chart

- Net proceeds of approximately $2.98 billion will fund the cash consideration for the proposed acquisition of Masimo Corporation
