• Footnotes: The award was under the Non‑Employee Directors Deferred Compensation Plan; amounts are converted into notional shares based on the quarterly closing price (F1). Phantom shares convert one-for-one into Danaher common stock upon distribution (F2). The reporting person is fully vested in amounts under the Plan (F3).

Context These are deferred compensation credits (not immediate stock purchases). Phantom/notional shares are routine for non‑employee directors and convert into actual shares on distribution; because the units are fully vested, they represent earned deferred pay rather than a market-directed buy or sell. Such awards are standard compensation mechanics and should not be taken alone as a direct signal of insider sentiment.
