<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Resolved: </B>Shareholders request that Danaher Corp. (&quot;Danaher&quot;)
report to shareholders on the effectiveness of the Company's diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. The report should be done at reasonable
expense, exclude proprietary information, and provide transparency on outcomes, using quantitative metrics for hiring, retention, and
promotion of employees, including data by gender, race, and ethnicity.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Supporting Statement:</B> Quantitative data is sought so that investors
can assess and compare the effectiveness of companies' diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.</P>

<P STYLE="font: bold 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 9pt; background-color: #B8CCE4">SUMMARY</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Studies show significant barriers continue to exist for diverse employees
seeking to advance within their careers. However, there exists a robust link between workforce and management diversity and corporate
performance. Ineffective workplace diversity and inclusion policies can entrench homogeneity, generating competitive and legal risks.
As a result, investors need quantitative, comparable data in order to understand the effectiveness of companies&#8217; diversity and inclusion
policies.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Unfortunately, Danaher is lagging behind its peers with respect to
such disclosures, resulting in the absence of comparable, consistent, and decision-useful data from which investors can draw meaningful
conclusions. Additional disclosure is necessary.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">While Danaher does release some workforce diversity data, the information
it releases is &#8220;snapshot&#8221; data, akin to a balance sheet, which details workforce diversity at a single point in time. This
provides little longitudinal information about the effectiveness of the Company&#8217;s diversity and inclusion policies. Just as a balance
sheet would, by itself, be insufficient to identify the strength of a company&#8217;s financials, so too is workforce diversity data,
by itself, insufficient in assessing the effectiveness of a company&#8217;s human capital management initiatives. Instead, as the Proposal
requests, investors need quantitative metrics for hiring, retention, and promotion of employees that can demonstrate the route that Danaher
has taken to achieve its current workforce diversity.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">More nuanced data allows for a more accurate understanding of companies&#8217;
ability to benefit from human capital diversity. For example, one company may have a diverse workforce supported by and committed to the
organization, with little turnover, but operating within a region or industry with limited diverse individuals to draw from. It would,
therefore, be expected to have a low hiring rate, but reassuring promotion and retention rate data. Another company may have workforce
diversity data which appears &#8220;better&#8221; than the first company, but if it has high hiring and high attrition rates, investors
would have reason to be concerned that ineffective DEI initiatives are leading to significant unnecessary costs being borne to recruit
and train diverse employees and that litigation risk may exist.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Quantitative data demonstrating the effectiveness of Danaher&#8217;s
diversity and inclusion programs will provide investors with critical information about the Company&#8217;s workforce management. Such
data would demonstrate if a sufficient pipeline of talent is being hired, if that talent is being effectively stewarded through the Company,
and if diverse employees remain at the organization. It may also tell other stories: of weak recruiting, stagnation, or a brain drain.
This information will help shareholders judge the Company&#8217;s value and risk compared to its peers.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Researchers have identified the benefits of diverse and inclusive teams:
access to top talent, better understanding of consumer preferences, a stronger mix of leadership skills, informed strategy discussions,
and improved risk management. Diversity, and the different perspectives it encourages, has also been shown to encourage more creative
and innovative workplace environments.<SUP>11</SUP></P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">By contrast, if the lack of diversity at a company is a result of prevalent
harassment and discrimination &#8212; a question that can be at least partially answered by quantitative data on hiring, retention, and
promotion rates &#8212; negative consequences abound. These include reduced employee morale and productivity, increased absenteeism, challenges
in attracting talent, and difficulties in retaining talent. Employees directly experiencing workplace discrimination are also more likely
to experience anxiety and depression, hindering their ability to contribute.<SUP>12</SUP></P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The implications of a non-inclusive workplace go beyond directly impacted
employees. In a Deloitte study, 80 percent of surveyed full-time employees said that inclusion was an important factor in their employer
choice, and 72 percent said that they would consider leaving an employer for a more inclusive work environment.<SUP>13</SUP></P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Finally, companies have a continuing legal obligation to ensure a workplace
free from harassment and discrimination on the basis of characteristics such as race, ethnicity, sex, and gender.<SUP>14</SUP> Ineffective
diversity and inclusion policies may be indicative of broader issues within a company that contribute to potential legal liability and
reputational damage.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Successful diversity and inclusion programs do not hire or promote
employees <I>because of</I> their race, gender, or other diverse characteristic. Rather, well-implemented DEI initiatives ensure that
an employee&#8217;s race, gender, or other diverse characteristic <I>does not prevent them</I> from reaching the same career milestones,
and ability to contribute to the company, as their non-diverse colleagues.</P>

the proponents&#8217; request for additional reporting &#8211; including additional demographic data that few companies publish -- would
be an unnecessary and inefficient use of resources that would serve only the limited interests of a small group of shareholders.&#8221;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The release of these metrics has been a request from investors for
a number of years. In 2021, an investor statement, facilitated by <I>As You Sow</I>, representing more than $1.4 trillion in assets under
management, &#8220;ask[ed] that companies increase investors&#8217; accessibility to information related to their workplace equity policies,
practices, and program outcomes&#8230;.Recruitment, retention and promotion rates of diverse employees are essential data sets for investors

those resources to address the proponents&#8217; interest in additional reporting and additional demographic data that few companies publish
would be inefficient and costly without adding significant value to our shareholders.&#8221; Five of Danaher&#8217;s peers, as identified
in the Company&#8217;s most recent proxy statement, have committed to release this data set within a two- year timeframe. Proponents will
also note that last year, 22 companies committed to release this data by 2026, in addition to the disclosure stats mentioned in the above

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">It is also concerning when a company will not commit to future disclosure,

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Danaher, to be credible with investors and other external stakeholders,
