DANAHER CORP /DE/ 8-K

What Happened

• Danaher Corporation (DHR) filed an 8-K on May 7, 2026 reporting that at its annual meeting on May 5, 2026 shareholders approved an amended and restated Omnibus Incentive Plan. The amendment increases the plan’s share reserve by 20 million shares of Common Stock and extends the plan term to May 5, 2036. The full plan text is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 10.1 (from the Company’s proxy filed March 25, 2026).

Key Details

• Shareholder approval date: May 5, 2026 (annual meeting); 8-K filed May 7, 2026.
• Increase to plan reserve: 20,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock.
• Plan term extended through: May 5, 2036.
• Amended and Restated Danaher Corporation Omnibus Incentive Plan is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and described in the March 25, 2026 proxy.

Why It Matters

• The increase in the share reserve and extended term allow Danaher to grant more equity awards (stock options, restricted stock, etc.) through 2036, which can be used for employee and executive compensation.
• Additional authorized shares may lead to dilution for existing shareholders over time as awards are issued; investors should monitor future equity grants and related compensation expense in proxy statements and financial filings.
• For full terms and details (vesting, award types, limits), review the incorporated Plan document and the Company’s proxy disclosure filed March 25, 2026.
