In connection with the Separation, the 2014 Danaher Options that remained outstanding as of July 2, 2016 were converted into stock options to purchase 9,408 shares of the Issuer's common stock with identical vesting schedule.  In addition, the total number of stock options and the exercise price reflect an anti-dilution adjustment applied as a result of the spin-off of Vontier Corporation from the Issuer on October 9, 2020.</footnote>
