relating to us and our financial condition. The second part is the accompanying base prospectus, which gives more general information about securities we may offer from time to time, some of which does not apply to the notes we are offering.
Generally, when we refer to the prospectus, we are referring to both parts of this document combined. If information in this prospectus supplement or any related free writing prospectus differs from information in the accompanying prospectus, you
should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement or the related free writing prospectus, whichever is dated later. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except as the context
otherwise requires, or as otherwise specified or used in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus, the terms &#147;we,&#148; &#147;our,&#148; &#147;us,&#148; &#147;the Company,&#148; and &#147;Danaher&#148; refer to Danaher

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This prospectus supplement has been prepared on the basis that all offers of the notes will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation
from the requirement to produce a prospectus, as defined in the Prospectus Regulation, for offers of the notes. The expression &#147;Prospectus Regulation&#148; means Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended), and includes any relevant implementing
measure in each member state of the EEA and the United Kingdom (each, a &#147;Relevant State&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Accordingly, any person making or intending to make
any offer within the EEA or the United Kingdom of the notes should only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for us or the underwriters to produce a prospectus, as defined in the Prospectus Regulation, for such offer. Neither we nor
the underwriters have authorized, nor do authorize, the making of any offer of notes through any financial intermediary, other than offers made by the underwriters, which constitute the final placement of the notes contemplated in this prospectus
supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to
any retail investor in the EEA or the United Kingdom. For these purposes, a &#147;retail investor&#148; means a person who is one (or more) of: (i)&nbsp;a retail client as defined in point (11)&nbsp;of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (ii)&nbsp;a
customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the &#147;Insurance Distribution Directive&#148;), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10)&nbsp;of Article 4(1) of MiFID II.
Consequently no key information document required by the PRIIPs Regulation for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or the United&nbsp;Kingdom has been prepared and therefore offering or
selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or the United Kingdom may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For the purposes of this section, the expression an &#147;offer of notes to the public&#148; in relation to any notes in any Relevant State means the
communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the notes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">MiFID II product governance: Solely for the purposes of the product approval process of each of the representatives (each a &#147;Manufacturer&#148;), the
target market assessment in respect of the notes has led to the conclusion that: (i)&nbsp;the target market for the notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii)&nbsp;all channels for
distribution of the notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the notes (a &#147;distributor&#148;) should take into consideration the Manufacturers&#146;
target market assessment; however, and without prejudice to our obligations in accordance with MiFID II, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the notes (by either adopting or
refining the Manufacturers&#146; target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Notice to Prospective Investors in

stock, approximately $10.8&nbsp;billion of proceeds from the issuance of euro-denominated and U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt issued and sold in the second half of 2019, approximately $2.5&nbsp;billion of proceeds from borrowings under our
revolving credit facilities, and approximately $4.6&nbsp;billion of cash on hand and proceeds from commercial paper borrowings. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On March&nbsp;19, 2020,
Danaher announced that that it had satisfied all required antitrust clearances needed to be obtained for the GE Biopharma Acquisition. The closing of the GE Biopharma Acquisition remains subject to other customary closing conditions set forth in the
GE Biopharma Purchase Agreement. We currently expect that the GE Biopharma Acquisition will be completed on March&nbsp;31, 2020. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The foregoing

audited carve-out financial statements provided by GE, the GE Biopharma Business generated revenue of approximately $3.3 billion in 2019 and $3.0 billion in 2018 and the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization
(&#147;EBITDA&#148;) for the GE Biopharma Business was approximately $1.5 billion in 2019 and $1.2 billion in 2018. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">These financial measures are not
necessarily indicative of the results or performance that would have been achieved if the GE Biopharma Business had been operated as an independent group, as a separate legal entity or as part of Danaher during the periods presented, and, therefore,
is not necessarily indicative of future operating results. EBITDA for the GE Biopharma Business is a non-GAAP measure and may not be calculated in the same manner used by other companies to calculate similarly titled measures. Accordingly, you
should not place undue reliance on these financial measures. </P>

effort to identify and mitigate the adverse impacts on, and risks to, our business (including but not limited to our employees, customers, other business partners, our manufacturing capabilities and capacity and our distribution channels) posed by
its spread and the governmental and community reactions thereto. We continue to assess and update our business continuity plans in the context of this pandemic, including taking steps in an effort to help keep our workforces healthy and safe. The
spread of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> has caused us to modify our business practices (including employee travel, employee work locations in certain cases, and cancellation of physical participation in certain meetings, events
and conferences), and we expect to take further actions as may be required or recommended by government authorities or as we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers and other business partners. We are also working with our
suppliers to understand the existing and future negative impacts to our supply chain and take actions in an effort to mitigate such impacts. Due to the speed with which the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> situation is developing,
the global breadth of its spread and the range of governmental and community reactions thereto, there is uncertainty around its duration and ultimate impact; therefore, any negative impact on our overall financial and operating results (including
without limitation our liquidity) cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, but the pandemic could lead to extended disruption of economic activity and the impact on our financial and operating results could be material. See &#147;Risk
Factors&#151;Risks Related to our Business&#151;The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted, and poses risks to, our business, the nature and extent of which are highly uncertain and unpredictable.&#148; </P>

STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic has adversely impacted, and poses risks to, our business, the nature and extent of which are highly uncertain and unpredictable. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In recent weeks, the continued, global spread of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital
markets, which has increased the cost of, and adversely impacted access to, capital (including the commercial paper markets) and increased economic uncertainty. It is likely that the pandemic will cause an economic slowdown of potentially extended
duration, and it is possible that it could cause a global recession. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> is adversely affecting, and is
expected to continue to adversely affect, certain elements of our business (including certain elements of our operations, supply chains and distribution systems), including as a result of impacts associated with preventive and precautionary measures
that we, other businesses, our communities and governments are taking. Due to these impacts and measures, we have experienced and expect to continue to experience unpredictable reductions in demand for certain of our products, and in some cases have
experienced and expect to continue to experience unpredictable increases in demand for certain products. Many employers and governments are requiring employees to work from home or not go into their offices. If the pandemic continues and conditions
worsen, we expect to experience additional adverse impacts on our operational and commercial activities and customer orders, which adverse impacts may be material, and it remains uncertain what impact these adverse impacts would have on future sales
and customer orders even if conditions begin to improve. In addition to existing travel restrictions, jurisdictions may continue to close borders, impose prolonged quarantines and further restrict travel and business activity, which could
significantly impact our ability to support our operations and customers and the ability of our employees to get to their workplaces to produce products and services, or significantly hamper our products from moving through the supply chain.
Further, in connection with the global outbreak and spread of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> and in an effort to increase the wider availability of needed medical and other supplies and products, we may elect to or governments may
require us to allocate manufacturing capacity (for example pursuant to the U.S. Defense Production Act) in a way that adversely affects our regular operations and financial results, results in differential treatment of customers and/or adversely
affects our reputation and customer relationships. In addition, unpredictable increases in demand for certain of our products could exceed our capacity to meet such demand, which could adversely affect our financial results and customer
relationships and result in negative publicity. The accelerated development and production of products and services in an effort to address medical and other requirements as a result of the pandemic could also increase the risk of regulatory
enforcement actions, product defects or claims thereof. Due to the speed with which the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> situation is developing, the global breadth of its spread and the range of governmental and community reactions
thereto, there is uncertainty around its duration and ultimate impact; therefore, any negative impact on our overall financial and operating results (including without limitation our liquidity) cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, but the
pandemic could lead to extended disruption of economic activity and the impact on our financial and operating results could be material. </P>

bonds issued by Danaher International II. This anticipated reduction in our credit ratings may limit our ability to borrow at interest rates consistent with the interest rates that have been available to us prior to the GE Biopharma Acquisition. If
our credit ratings are further downgraded or put on watch for a further potential downgrade, we may not be able to sell additional debt securities or borrow money in the amounts, at the times or interest rates or upon the more favorable terms and

occurrence of a change of control triggering event. We may not have sufficient funds to repurchase the notes in cash at that time or have the ability to arrange necessary financing on acceptable terms. In addition, the terms of our other debt
agreements or applicable law may limit our ability to repurchase the notes for cash. The occurrence of a change of control could also constitute an event of default under our credit facilities and under our other indebtedness. Our bank lenders may
have the right to prohibit a repurchase upon a change of control triggering event, in which event we would seek to obtain waivers from the required lenders under our credit facilities, but we may not be successful in obtaining such waivers. Failure
to repurchase the notes as required under the indenture governing the notes would result in a default under the indenture, which could have material adverse consequences for us and for holders of the notes. </P>

another person may be uncertain. In addition, some important corporate events, such as leveraged recapitalizations or the sale of Danaher to a public company that does not have a majority shareholder, may not, under the indenture, constitute a
&#147;change of control&#148; that would require us to repurchase the notes, even though those corporate events could increase the level of our indebtedness or otherwise adversely affect our capital structure, credit ratings or the value of the

ability to satisfy our obligations on the notes could be adversely affected. We expect that we will from time to time incur additional debt and other liabilities. In addition, we are not restricted under the indenture from paying dividends or

rendering a judgment on the notes would be required to render the judgment in euro. However, the judgment would be converted into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of entry of the judgment. Consequently, in a lawsuit for
payment on the notes, investors would bear currency exchange risk until a New York state court judgment is entered, which could be a significant amount of time from the date the judgment is rendered. A federal court sitting in New York with
diversity jurisdiction over a dispute arising in connection with the notes would apply New York law. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In courts outside of New York, investors may not be
able to obtain a judgment in a currency other than U.S. dollars. For example, a judgment for money in an action based on the notes in many other United States federal or state courts ordinarily would be enforced in the United States only in U.S.
dollars. The date used to determine the rate of conversion of euro into dollars would depend upon various factors, including which court renders the judgment and when the judgment is rendered. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">All payments of interest on and the principal of the notes and any redemption or repurchase price for the notes will be made in euro. An investment in the
notes by a holder whose home currency is not the euro entails significant risks. These risks include the possibility of significant changes in rates of exchange between the holder&#146;s home currency and the euro and the possibility of the
imposition or subsequent modification of foreign exchange controls with respect to the euro or the investor&#146;s home currency. These risks generally depend on factors over which we have no control, such as economic, financial and political events
and the supply of and demand for the relevant currencies. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates between two currencies result from the interaction over time of many factors directly or indirectly affecting economic and political conditions in
the countries issuing such currencies, and economic and political developments globally and in other relevant countries. Foreign currency exchange rates may be affected by, among other factors, existing and expected rates of inflation, existing and
expected interest rate levels, the balance of payments between countries, and the extent of government surpluses or deficits in various countries. All of these factors are, in turn, sensitive to the monetary, fiscal and trade policies pursued by the
governments of various countries important to international trade and finance. </P>

exchange rate (as defined in &#147;Description of Notes&#151;Payments in Euro&#148;) for the euro. Any payment in respect of the notes so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an event of default under the notes or the indenture governing the

institution may be, or be deemed to be, &#147;established&#148; in a participating Member State in a broad range of circumstances, including (a)&nbsp;by transacting with a person established in a participating Member State or (b)&nbsp;where the
financial instrument which is subject to the dealings is issued in a participating Member State. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The FTT proposal remains subject to negotiation among
the participating Member States. It may therefore be altered prior to any implementation (if at all), the timing of which remains unclear. Additional member states of the European Union may decide to participate and/or certain of the participating
Member States may decide to withdraw. Certain Member States, such as Spain, have recently taken measures to implement FTT following the Commission&#146;s proposal. </P>

currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the notes will be made in U.S. dollars until the euro is again available to us or so used. In
such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euro will be converted into U.S. dollars on the basis of the most recently available market exchange rate for the euro. Any payment in respect of the notes so made in U.S. dollars will not
constitute an event of default under the notes or the indenture governing the notes. See &#147;Description of Notes&#151;Payments in Euro.&#148; </P>

regulation by the Luxembourg Commission for the Supervision of the Financial Sector (<I>Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier</I>). Clearstream Participants are recognized financial institutions around the world, including underwriters,
securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Clearstream is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust
companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Clearstream Participant, either directly or indirectly. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Distributions with

in 1968 to hold securities for participants of Euroclear (&#147;Euroclear Participants&#148;) and to clear and settle transactions between Euroclear Participants through simultaneous electronic book-entry delivery against payment, thereby
eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and any risk from lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and cash. Euroclear includes various other services, including securities lending and borrowing and interfaces with domestic
markets in several countries. Euroclear is operated by Euroclear Bank SA/NV (the &#147;Euroclear Operator&#148;). All operations are conducted by the Euroclear Operator, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are
accounts with the Euroclear Operator. Euroclear Participants include banks (including central banks), securities brokers and dealers and other professional financial intermediaries and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Euroclear is

Clearstream or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented by such global notes for all purposes under the Indenture and the notes. Payments of principal, interest and additional amounts, if
any, in respect of the global notes will be made to Euroclear, Clearstream, such nominee or such common depositary, as the case may be, as registered holder thereof. As such, each person owning a beneficial interest in a note must rely on the
procedures of the depositary and, if such person is not a Clearstream or Euroclear participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, in order to exercise any rights of a holder of notes. None of Danaher,
the trustee, any underwriter or any affiliate of any of the above or any person by whom any of the above is controlled (as such term is defined in the Securities Act) will have any responsibility or liability for any records relating to or payments

purposes. It is anticipated, and this discussion assumes, that the issue price of each note will be equal to its stated principal amount or if the issue price is less than its stated principal amount, the difference will be a de minimis amount (as
set forth in the applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations) and the notes will not be issued with original issue discount. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A U.S. holder that uses the cash

be the U.S. holder&#146;s tax basis in the euro received. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A U.S. holder that uses the accrual method of tax accounting will be required to include in

exchange for the accrual period or, with respect to an accrual period that spans two taxable years, at the average rate for the partial period within the taxable year. The U.S. holder will recognize foreign currency gain or loss (which will be
treated as ordinary income or loss) with respect to accrued interest income on the date the interest payment is actually received. The amount of ordinary income or loss recognized will equal the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the euro
payment received (determined based on a spot rate on the date the payment is received) in respect of the accrual period and the U.S. dollar value of interest income that has accrued during the accrual period (as determined above). If a U.S. holder
does not wish to translate interest income using the average exchange rate, certain alternative elections may be available. The U.S. dollar value of the euro payment received will be the U.S. holder&#146;s tax basis in the euro received. </P>

such payments may implicate special rules under U.S. Treasury Regulations governing &#147;contingent payment debt instruments.&#148; However, the possibility that additional payments will be made will not cause the notes to be contingent payment
debt instruments if, as of the date the notes are issued, there is only a remote chance that such payments will be made or certain other exceptions apply. We have determined and intend to take the position (and this discussion assumes) that the
possibility of such events occurring will not subject the notes to the contingent payment debt rules. Our determination that the notes are not contingent payment debt instruments is binding on U.S. holders unless they disclose their contrary
positions to the IRS in the manner required by applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations. Our determination that the notes are not contingent payment debt instruments is not, however, binding on the IRS. If the IRS were to successfully challenge our

<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>FATCA </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Provisions of the Code commonly referred to as the
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA, impose a 30% withholding tax on payments of interest on the notes if paid to a foreign entity unless (i)&nbsp;if the foreign entity is a &#147;foreign financial institution,&#148; the foreign entity
undertakes certain due diligence, reporting, withholding, and certification obligations, (ii)&nbsp;if the foreign entity is not a &#147;foreign financial institution,&#148; the foreign entity identifies certain of its U.S. investors, or
(iii)&nbsp;the foreign entity is otherwise exempt from FATCA. While withholding under FATCA may also apply to gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the notes (including settlement of the notes at maturity), under proposed U.S.
Treasury regulations, withholding on payments of gross proceeds is not required. Although such regulations are not final, taxpayers, including applicable withholding agents, may rely on the proposed regulations until final regulations are issued.
Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. If withholding under FATCA is required on any payment related to the notes,
investors not otherwise subject to withholding (or that otherwise would be entitled to a reduced rate of withholding) on such payment may seek a refund or credit from the IRS. Prospective investors are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors
regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their investment in the notes. </P>

approval by The New York Stock Exchange. The New York Stock Exchange is not a regulated market under MiFID II. If such a listing is obtained, we will have no obligation to maintain such listing,
and we may delist any series of the notes at any time. We have been advised by the underwriters that the underwriters intend to make a market in each series of notes but are not obligated to do so and may discontinue market making at any time
without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for any series of notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our expenses in connection with the
offering, excluding underwriting discounts, are estimated at approximately $6&nbsp;million. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the issuance of the notes, Merrill Lynch
International (in this capacity, the &#147;Stabilizing Manager&#148;) (or any person acting on its behalf) may over-allot notes of any series or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of such notes at a level higher than that
which might otherwise prevail. However, stabilization may not necessarily occur. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the final terms of the offer of the notes of any such series is made,
and, if begun, may cease at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue of such series of notes and 60 days after the date of the allotment of such series of notes. Any stabilization action or over-allotment must
be carried out in accordance with applicable laws and rules. The underwriters may purchase and sell notes in the open market, including through short sales and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the
underwriters of a greater number of notes of a series than they are required to purchase in the offering. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid.
This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representatives have repurchased notes of any series sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing
or short covering transactions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">These activities by the underwriters, as well as other purchases by the underwriters for their own accounts, may
stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of any series of notes. As a result, the price of such notes may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be
discontinued by the underwriters at any time. These transactions may be effected in the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">over-the-counter</FONT></FONT> market or otherwise. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It is expected that delivery of the notes will be made to investors on or about March&nbsp;30, 2020, which is the third business day following the date of
this prospectus supplement (such settlement cycle being referred to as &#147;T+3&#148;). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days unless the parties to any such
trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes more than two business days before the date of delivery of the notes will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+3, to specify
an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement, and so should consult their own advisers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Banca IMI has
advised us that, in connection with this transaction, Banca IMI has not made and will not make any offers to sell any series of notes, has not solicited and will not solicit any offers to buy any series of notes, has not made and will not make any
sales of any series of notes and has not participated and will not participate in any marketing (including roadshows) of any series of notes or in any other way, in each case, directly or indirectly, in the United States, to U.S. persons or in such

agents, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses. In addition, certain of the underwriters or their affiliates currently serve as lenders and/or agents under our credit facilities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriters and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and
actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve our
securities and/or instruments. If any of the underwriters or their affiliates have a lending relationship with us, certain of those underwriters or their affiliates routinely hedge, and certain other of those underwriters or their affiliates may
hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit
default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes offered hereby. The
underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long
and/or short positions in such securities and instruments. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To the extent any underwriter that is not a U.S. registered broker-dealer intends to effect
sales of notes in the United States, it will do so through one or more U.S. registered broker-dealers in accordance with applicable U.S. securities laws and regulations. Standard Chartered Bank will not effect any offers or sales of any notes in the

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This section describes the general terms and provisions of the debt securities that Danaher may issue separately, upon exercise of a debt warrant, in
connection with a purchase contract or as part of a unit from time to time in the form of one or more series of debt securities. The applicable prospectus supplement and/or free writing prospectus will describe the specific terms of the debt
securities offered through that prospectus supplement as well as any general terms described in this section that will not apply to those debt securities. As used in this section, &#147;debt securities&#148; means the senior and subordinated
debentures, notes, bonds and other evidences of indebtedness that we issue and a trustee authenticates and delivers under the applicable indenture. As used in this &#147;Description of Danaher Debt Securities,&#148; the terms &#147;Danaher,&#148;
&#147;we,&#148; &#147;our&#148; and &#147;us&#148; refer to Danaher Corporation and do not, unless the context otherwise indicates, include our subsidiaries. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Senior debt securities will be issued under an indenture dated December&nbsp;11, 2007 between Danaher and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as
trustee, as supplemented by a second supplemental indenture dated July&nbsp;1, 2019 between Danaher and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, each of which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which
this prospectus is a part and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus, subject to such amendments or supplemental indentures as are adopted, from time to time. This indenture and supplemental indenture are referred to collectively as the
&#147;senior indenture.&#148; Subordinated debt securities will be issued under a separate indenture to be entered into by us and a trustee or trustees identified in the prospectus supplement, the form of which is included as an exhibit to the
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus. This indenture is referred to as the &#147;subordinated indenture.&#148; We refer to the indentures described above as the
&#147;indentures&#148; or the &#147;indenture,&#148; as applicable. The following summaries of certain provisions of the indentures and the debt securities are not complete and the summaries are subject to the detailed provisions of the applicable
indenture. You should refer to the applicable indenture for more specific information. In addition, you should consult the applicable prospectus supplement and/or free writing prospectus for particular terms of our debt securities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The indentures will not limit the aggregate principal amount of debt securities that we may issue, and will permit us to issue securities from time to time in
one or more series. The indentures do not contain any provisions that would limit our ability to incur indebtedness or that would afford holders of debt securities protection in the event of a highly leveraged or similar transaction involving us.
However, the senior indenture does restrict us and our subsidiaries from granting certain security interests on certain of our or their property or assets unless the senior debt securities are equally secured. See &#147;-Covenants in the Senior
Indenture&#148; below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The debt securities will be unsecured obligations of Danaher. We currently conduct substantially all of our operations through
subsidiaries, and the holders of debt securities (whether senior or subordinated debt securities) will be effectively subordinated to the creditors of our subsidiaries. This means that creditors of our subsidiaries will have a claim to the assets of
our subsidiaries that is superior to the claim of our creditors, including holders of our debt securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The applicable prospectus supplement and/or

means that all claims of creditors (including trade creditors) of Danaher&#146;s other subsidiaries will have priority with respect to the assets of such subsidiaries over Danaher&#146;s claims (and therefore the claims of its creditors, including

of the DGCL, could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control or the removal of existing management, of deterring potential acquirors from making an offer to our stockholders and of limiting any opportunity to realize
premiums over prevailing market prices for our common stock in connection therewith. This could be the case notwithstanding that a majority of our stockholders might benefit from such a change in control or offer. </P>

shares of preferred stock, which we call depositary shares, rather than full shares of preferred stock. If we do, we will issue to the public receipts, called depositary receipts, for depositary shares, each of which will represent a fraction, to be
described in the applicable prospectus supplement, of a share of a particular series of preferred stock. As used in this &#147;Description of Depositary Shares,&#148; the terms &#147;Danaher,&#148; &#147;we,&#148; &#147;our&#148; and &#147;us&#148;

supplement, each owner of a depositary share will be entitled, in proportion to the applicable fractional interest in a share of preferred stock represented by the depositary share, to all the rights and preferences of the preferred stock
represented by the depositary share. Those rights include dividend, voting, redemption, conversion and liquidation rights. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The shares of preferred stock
underlying the depositary shares will be deposited with a bank or trust company selected by us to act as depositary under a deposit agreement between us, the depositary and the holders of the depositary receipts. The depositary will be the transfer
agent, registrar and dividend disbursing agent for the depositary shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued pursuant

distribute all cash dividends or other cash distributions, if any, received in respect of the preferred stock underlying the depositary shares to the record holders of depositary shares in proportion to the numbers of depositary shares owned by
those holders on the relevant record date. The relevant record date for depositary shares will be the same date as the record date for the underlying preferred stock. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If there is a distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute property (including securities) received by it to the record holders of
depositary shares, unless the depositary determines that it is not feasible to make the distribution. If this occurs, the depositary may, with our approval, adopt another method for the distribution, including selling the property and distributing
the net proceeds from the sale to the holders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Liquidation Preference </B></P>

of the depositary to or upon his or her order, of the number of whole shares of the preferred stock and any money or other property represented by the depositary shares. If the depositary
receipts delivered by the holder evidence a number of depositary shares in excess of the number of depositary shares representing the number of whole shares of preferred stock to be withdrawn, the depositary will deliver to the holder at the same
time a new depositary receipt evidencing the excess number of depositary shares. In no event will the depositary deliver fractional shares of preferred stock upon surrender of depositary receipts. Holders of preferred stock thus withdrawn may not
thereafter deposit those shares under the deposit agreement or receive depositary receipts evidencing depositary shares therefor. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Redemption of
Depositary Shares </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Whenever we redeem shares of preferred stock held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem as of the same redemption date the
number of depositary shares representing shares of the preferred stock so redeemed, so long as we have paid in full to the depositary the redemption price of the preferred stock to be redeemed plus an amount equal to any accumulated and unpaid
dividends on the preferred stock to the date fixed for redemption. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the redemption price and any other amounts per share payable on the preferred stock multiplied by the fraction of a share
of preferred stock represented by one depositary share. If less than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or pro rata or by any other equitable method as may be determined by the
depositary. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">After the date fixed for redemption, depositary shares called for redemption will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of the
holders of depositary shares will cease, except the right to receive the monies payable upon redemption and any money or other property to which the holders of the depositary shares were entitled upon redemption upon surrender to the depositary of
the depositary receipts evidencing the depositary shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Voting the Preferred Stock </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of the preferred stock are entitled to vote, the depositary will mail the information contained in
the notice of meeting to the record holders of the depositary receipts relating to that preferred stock. The record date for the depositary receipts relating to the preferred stock will be the same date as the record date for the preferred stock.
Each record holder of the depositary shares on the record date will be entitled to instruct the depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the number of shares of preferred stock represented by that holder&#146;s depositary
shares. The depositary will endeavor, insofar as practicable, to vote the number of shares of preferred stock represented by the depositary shares in accordance with those instructions, and we will agree to take all action that may be deemed
necessary by the depositary in order to enable the depositary to do so. The depositary will not vote any shares of preferred stock except to the extent it receives specific instructions from the holders of depositary shares representing that number
of shares of preferred stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Charges of Depositary </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will pay all transfer and other taxes and governmental charges arising solely from the existence of the depositary arrangements. We will pay charges of the
depositary in connection with the initial deposit of the preferred stock and any redemption of the preferred stock. Holders of depositary receipts will pay transfer, income and other taxes and governmental charges and such other charges (including
those in connection with the receipt and distribution of dividends, the sale or exercise of rights, the withdrawal of the preferred stock and the transferring, splitting or grouping of depositary receipts) as are expressly provided in the deposit
agreement to be for their accounts. If these charges have not been paid by the holders of depositary receipts, the depositary may refuse to transfer depositary shares, withhold dividends and distributions and sell the depositary shares evidenced by
the depositary receipt. </P>

holders, a specified number of shares of our common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares at a future date or dates, which we refer to in this prospectus as purchase contracts. As used in this &#147;Description of Purchase Contracts and
Units,&#148; the terms &#147;Danaher,&#148; &#147;we,&#148; &#147;our&#148; and &#147;us&#148; refer to Danaher Corporation and do not, unless the context otherwise indicates, include our subsidiaries. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The price per share of common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares and the number of shares of each may be fixed at the time the purchase contracts are
issued or may be determined by reference to a specific formula set forth in the purchase contracts. The purchase contracts may be issued separately or as part of units consisting of one or more purchase contracts and beneficial interests in debt
securities or any other securities described in the applicable prospectus supplement or any combination of the foregoing, securing the holders&#146; obligations to purchase the common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares under the purchase
contracts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The purchase contracts may require us to make periodic payments to the holders of the units or vice versa, and these payments may be unsecured

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of the purchase contracts and units, including, if applicable, collateral or depositary

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each debt security, depositary share, purchase contract, unit and warrant will be represented either by a certificate issued in definitive form to a
particular investor or by one or more global securities representing the entire issuance of securities. Unless the applicable prospectus supplement provides otherwise, certificated securities in definitive form and global securities will be issued
in registered form. Definitive securities name you or your nominee as the owner of the security, and in order to transfer or exchange these securities or to receive payments other than interest or other interim payments, you or your nominee must
physically deliver the securities to the trustee, registrar, paying agent or other agent, as applicable. Global securities name a depositary or its nominee as the owner of the debt securities, depositary shares, purchase contracts, units or warrants
represented by these global securities. The depositary maintains a computerized system that will reflect each investor&#146;s beneficial ownership of the securities through an account maintained by the investor with its broker/dealer, bank, trust
company or other representative, as we explain more fully below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Registered Global Securities </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may issue the debt securities, depositary shares, purchase contracts, units and warrants in the form of one or more fully registered global securities that
will be deposited with a depositary or its nominee identified in the applicable prospectus supplement and registered in the name of that depositary or nominee. In those cases, one or more registered global securities will be issued in a denomination
or aggregate denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate principal or face amount of the securities to be represented by registered global securities. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole for securities in definitive registered form, a
registered global security may not be transferred except as a whole by and among the depositary for the registered global security, the nominees of the depositary or any successors of the depositary or those nominees. </P>

<Center><DIV STYLE="width:8.5in" align="left">
 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be limited to persons, called
participants, that have accounts with the depositary or persons that may hold interests through participants. Upon the issuance of a registered global security, the depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the
participants&#146; accounts with the respective principal or face amounts of the securities beneficially owned by the participants. Any dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the securities will designate the accounts
to be credited. Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary, with respect to interests of
participants, and on the records of participants, with respect to interests of persons holding through participants. The laws of some states may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of these securities in definitive
form. These laws may impair your ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in registered global securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">So long as the depositary, or
its nominee, is the registered owner of a registered global security, that depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the securities represented by the registered global security for all purposes
under the applicable indenture, deposit agreement, purchase contract, unit agreement or warrant agreement. Except as described below, owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security will not be entitled to have the securities
represented by the registered global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the securities under the
applicable indenture, deposit agreement, purchase contract, unit agreement or warrant agreement. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a registered global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary for that registered
global security and, if that person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which the person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the applicable indenture, deposit agreement, purchase contract, unit
agreement or warrant agreement. We understand that under existing industry practices, if we request any action of holders or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a registered global security desires to give or take any action that a holder is
entitled to give or take under the applicable indenture, deposit agreement, purchase contract, unit agreement or warrant agreement, the depositary for the registered global security would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial
interests to give or take that action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through them to give or take that action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Principal, premium, if any, and interest payments on debt securities, and any payments to holders with respect to depositary shares, warrants, purchase
agreements or units, represented by a registered global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the registered global security. None
of us, the trustees, the warrant agents, the unit agents or any other agent of ours, agent of the trustees or agent of the warrant agents or unit agents will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to payments
made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the registered global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to those beneficial ownership interests. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We expect that the depositary for any of the securities represented by a registered global security, upon receipt of any payment to holders of principal,
premium, interest or other distribution of underlying securities or other property on that registered global security, will immediately credit participants&#146; accounts in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in that
registered global security as shown on the records of the depositary. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security held through participants will be governed by standing customer
instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in &#147;street name,&#148; and will be the responsibility of those participants. </P>
