This could also impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of our securities.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">The Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">The market price of our common stock is likely to be influenced by the Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, when issued. For example, the market price of our common stock could become more volatile and could be depressed by: (i) investors&#8217; anticipation of the potential resale in the market of a substantial number of additional shares of our common stock received upon conversion of either series of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock; (ii) possible sales of our common stock by investors who view the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock as a more attractive means of equity participation in us than owning shares of our common stock; and (iii) hedging or arbitrage trading activity that may develop involving the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and our common stock.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">The common stock is equity and is subordinate to our existing and future indebtedness, the Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series B Mandatory Preferred Stock, when issued, and any other preferred stock we may issue in the future.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">Shares of the common stock are equity interests in Danaher and do not constitute indebtedness. As such, shares of the common stock will rank junior to all indebtedness and other non-equity claims on Danaher with respect to assets available to satisfy claims on Danaher, including in a liquidation of Danaher. Additionally, holders of our common stock may be subject to prior dividend and liquidation rights of any holders of our preferred stock or depositary shares representing such preferred stock then outstanding.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">Our common stock will rank junior to our Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and our Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, when issued, with respect to the payment of dividends and amounts payable in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our affairs. This means that, unless accumulated dividends have been paid on all our Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and our Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred then outstanding through the most recently completed dividend period, no dividends may be declared or paid on our common stock and we will not be permitted to repurchase any of our common stock, subject to limited exceptions. Likewise, in the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our affairs, no distribution of our assets may be made to holders of our common stock until we have paid to holders of our Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and our Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding a liquidation preference equal to $1,000 per share plus accumulated and unpaid dividends.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">Our board of directors is authorized to issue additional classes or series of preferred stock without any action on the part of the shareholders.

If we issue preferred stock in the future that has a preference over our common stock with respect to the payment of dividends or upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, or if we issue preferred stock with voting rights that dilute the voting power of our common stock, the rights of holders of our common stock or the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Certain rights of the holders of the Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock could delay or prevent an otherwise beneficial takeover or takeover attempt of us.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">Certain rights of the holders of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock could make it more difficult or more expensive for a third party to acquire us. For example, if a fundamental change were to occur on or prior to April 15, 2022, in the case of the Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, or on or prior to April 15, 2023 in the case of the Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, holders of such series of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock may have the right to convert their Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at an increased conversion rate and will also be entitled to receive a make-whole amount equal to the present value of all remaining dividend payments on their Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock as described in the applicable Certificate of Designations governing such series of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. These features of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock could increase the cost of acquiring us or otherwise discourage a third party from acquiring us or removing incumbent management.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Danaher Corporation&#8217;s ability to pay dividends and to meet its debt obligations largely depends on the performance of its subsidiaries and the ability to utilize the cash flows from those subsidiaries.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">Danaher Corporation is a holding company substantially all of whose assets are owned by its subsidiaries. Danaher Corporation&#8217;s ability to pay dividends and meet its debt and other obligations depends almost entirely on cash flows from its subsidiaries and joint ventures and other entities in which it has invested and, in the short term, its ability to raise capital from external sources. In the long term, cash flows from the subsidiaries and the joint ventures and other entities in which we have invested depend on their ability to generate operating cash flows in excess of their expenditures, common and preferred stock dividends (if any), and debt or other obligations. In addition, the subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities that are not obligated to pay dividends or make loans or distributions to Danaher Corporation, whether to enable Danaher Corporation to pay dividends on its common stock, the Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock or the Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock or for paying principal and interest on its debt securities or for paying its other obligations, and could be precluded from paying any such dividends or making any such loans or distributions under certain circumstances, including, without limitation, as a result of legislation, regulation, court order, contractual restrictions, including the terms of its indebtedness, or in times of financial distress.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Anti-takeover provisions could adversely affect our shareholders.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">Provisions of Delaware law and of our restated certificate of incorporation and amended bylaws could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us or have the effect of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire control of us. For example, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which would make it more difficult for another party to acquire us without the approval of our board of directors.

Generally, information reporting and backup withholding will not apply to a payment of disposition proceeds to a non-U.S. holder where the transaction is effected outside the United States through a non-U.S. office of a broker. However, for information reporting purposes, dispositions effected through a non-U.S. office of a broker with substantial U.S. ownership or operations generally will be treated in a manner similar to dispositions effected through a U.S. office of a broker.

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, &#8220;debt securities&#8221; 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 &#8220;Description of Danaher Debt Securities,&#8221; the terms &#8220;Danaher,&#8221; &#8220;we,&#8221; &#8220;our&#8221; and &#8220;us&#8221; refer to Danaher Corporation and do not, unless the context otherwise indicates, include our subsidiaries.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">Senior debt securities will be issued under an indenture dated December&#160;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&#160;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 &#8220;senior indenture.&#8221; 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 &#8220;subordinated indenture.&#8221; We refer to the indentures described above as the &#8220;indentures&#8221; or the &#8220;indenture,&#8221; 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.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">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 &#8220;&#8212;Covenants in the Senior Indenture&#8221; below.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">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.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">The applicable prospectus supplement and/or free writing prospectus will describe the following terms of any series of debt securities that we may offer:</font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:12px;font-family:Times New Roman;

References to an &#8220;issuer,&#8221; &#8220;we,&#8221; &#8220;our&#8221; and &#8220;us&#8221; refer to either Danaher International or Danaher International II, as applicable, and references to &#8220;Danaher&#8221; refer to Danaher Corporation and do not, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Danaher&#8217;s subsidiaries.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">Debt securities issued by Danaher International will be issued under an indenture dated July&#160;8, 2015 by and among Danaher Corporation, as guarantor, DH Europe Finance S.&#224; r.l. (formerly known as DH Europe Finance S.A.), as issuer, and the Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, as supplemented by a third supplemental indenture dated July&#160;1, 2019 between DH Europe Finance S.&#224; r.l. 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 is referred to in this section as the &#8220;Danaher International indenture.&#8221; Debt securities issued by Danaher International II will be issued under an indenture to be entered into by and among Danaher Corporation, as guarantor, DH Europe Finance II S.&#224; r.l., as issuer, and the Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, the form 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 is referred to in this section as the &#8220;Danaher International II indenture.&#8221; Each of the Danaher International indenture and the Danaher International II indenture is referred to as an &#8220;indenture&#8221; and collectively as the &#8220;indentures.&#8221; 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 indentures. 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 the debt securities.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">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 Danaher&#8217;s or either issuer&#8217;s ability to incur indebtedness or that would afford holders of debt securities protection in the event of a highly leveraged or similar transaction involving Danaher and/or the applicable issuer. However, the indentures do restrict Danaher and its subsidiaries, including the issuers, from granting certain security interests on certain property or assets of Danaher and/or its subsidiaries unless the debt securities are equally secured. See &#8220;&#8212;Covenants in the Indentures&#8221; below.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">The debt securities will be unsecured obligations of Danaher International or Danaher International II, as applicable, and will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Danaher. Payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on debt securities will rank equally with all of the applicable issuer&#8217;s other unsecured and unsubordinated debt. Each of Danaher International and Danaher International II is a finance subsidiary of Danaher that conducts no independent operations of its own other than financing activities, and Danaher is a holding company that conducts substantially all of its operations through its subsidiaries, and, as a result, the holders of debt securities will be effectively subordinated to the creditors of Danaher&#8217;s subsidiaries. This means that all claims of creditors (including trade creditors) of Danaher&#8217;s other subsidiaries will have priority with respect to the assets of such subsidiaries over Danaher&#8217;s claims (and therefore the claims of its creditors, including holders of debt securities guaranteed by Danaher).</font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:center;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">22</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">The applicable prospectus supplement and/or free writing prospectus will describe the following terms of any series of debt securities that Danaher International or Danaher International II may offer:</font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:12px;font-family:Times New Roman;

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.

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&#8217;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.

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&#8217;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.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Registered Global Securities</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">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.

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.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">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.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">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.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">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&#8217; accounts in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in that registered global security as shown on the records of the depositary.
