Quorum.The quorum necessary to conduct business at the Annual Meeting consists of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting as of the record date.date present in person or represented by proxy. Virtual attendance at our Annual Meeting constitutes presence in person for purposes of quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions, withhold votes, and broker non-votes will be counted as present in determining whether the quorum requirement is satisfied.


Broker Non-Votes. Under NYSE rules, if your broker holds your shares in its name and does not receive voting instructions from you, your broker has discretion to vote those shares on Proposal 2, which is considered a “routine” matter. However, on “non-routine” matters, such as Proposals 1, 3 and 3,4, your broker must receive voting instructions from you, as it does not have discretionary voting power for these particular items. Therefore, if you are a beneficial owner and do not provide your broker with voting instructions, your shares may constitute broker non-votes with respect to Proposals 1, 3 and 3.4. Broker non-votes will not affect the required vote with respect to Proposals 1 and 3.3 and will have the same effect as votes against Proposal 4.
 
Approval Requirements.If a quorum is present, the vote required under the Company’s SecondThird Amended and Restated Bylaws and the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to approve each of the proposals is as follows:


With respect to Proposal 1, the election of directors, you may vote “for” or “withhold” authority to vote for any or all of the Class III director nominees. In elections of directors, a nominee is elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote, provided that a quorum is present. A “plurality of the votes cast” means that the individuals with the highest number of votes are elected as directors up to the maximum number of directors to be elected. Withhold votes are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose.
With respect to Proposals 2 and 3, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal is required for approval. For these proposals, abstentions are counted for purposes of determining the minimum number of affirmative votes required for approval and, accordingly, have the effect of a vote against the proposal.

With respect to Proposal 4, the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote on the proposal is required for approval. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes against the proposal.

Tabulation of Votes. Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. will tabulate votes cast by proxy or in person (virtually) at the meeting and American Election Services, LLC will act as the Independent Inspector of Election. We will report the results in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days of the Annual Meeting.

As part of its ongoing commitment to good corporate governance, our Board of Directors has codified its corporate governance practices into a set of Corporate Governance Guidelines and adopted written charters for each of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Governance Committee, and the Finance Committee of the Board. The Board of Directors has also adopted for the Company our Code of Conduct that includes, among others, a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers (including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) and employees. The Corporate Governance Guidelines, Audit Committee Charter, Compensation Committee Charter, Nominating and Governance Committee Charter, and Code of Conduct referenced above are each available in the “Investors – Governance” section of our website at http://www.envistaco.com.


Board Leadership Structure


The Board has separated the positions of Chairperson and CEO because it believes that the separation of the positions best enables the Board to ensure that our businesses, risks, opportunities and affairs are managed effectively and in the best interests of our stockholders.


The entire Board selects its Chairperson, and our Board has selected Scott Huennekens, an independent director, as its Chairperson in light of Mr. Huennekens’ independence and his deep experience and knowledge with corporate governance, board management, stockholder engagement, risk management and extensive background in the medical device field.

As the independent Chairperson of the Board, Mr. Huennekens leads the activities of the Board, including:


Calling and presiding at all meetings of the Board;
Together with the CEO and the Corporate Secretary, setting the agenda for the Board;
Calling and presiding at the executive sessions of non-management directors and of the independent directors;
Advising the CEO on strategic aspects of the Company’s business, including developments and decisions that are to be discussed with, or would be of interest to, the Board;
Acting as a liaison as necessary between the non-management directors and the management of the Company; and
Acting as a liaison as necessary between the Board and the Committees of the Board.

In the event that the Chairperson of the Board is not an independent director, the Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the independent directors, upon recommendation from the Nominating and Governance Committee, will select by majority vote an independent director to serve as the Lead Independent Director with the authority to:


Preside at all meetings of the Board at which the Chairperson is not present, including the executive sessions;
Call meetings of the independent directors;
Act as a liaison as necessary between the independent directors and the CEO; and

In addition, the independent directors meet as a group in executive session at least once a year. The executive sessions of non-management directors and the executive sessions of independent directors are each chaired by the independent Chairperson.


Risk Oversight


Our management has day-to-day responsibility for assessing and managing our risk exposure and the Board and its committees oversee those efforts, with particular emphasis on the most significant risks facing us. Each committee reports to the full Board on a regular basis, including as appropriate with respect to the committee’s risk oversight activities. Since risk issues often overlap, committees from time to time request that the full Board discuss particular risks.


In determining to separate the position of the CEO and the Chairperson, and in determining the appointment of the Chairperson of the Board and the Chairs of the Committees, the Board and the Nominating and Governance Committee considered the implementation of a governance structure and appointment of chairpersons with appropriate and relevant risk management experience that would enable the Company to efficiently and effectively assess and oversee its risks.

The Board has determined that Mses. Carruthers Hulit and Tsingos and Messrs. Gallahue, Huennekens, Jain, and JainRaskas are independent directors under the applicable rules of the NYSE. Mr. Huennekens serves as independent Chairperson of the Board.


The Board assesses on a regular basis, and at least annually, the independence of directors and, based on the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, makes a determination as to which members are independent.



Pursuant to SEC and NYSE rules, the Board of Directors did not consider Mr. Raskas to be an independent director until after three years had lapsed from the time of Danaher’s divestiture of all of its interests in the Company, given Mr. Raskas’ role as Senior Vice President — Corporate Development of Danaher. After such time had lapsed, in January 2023, the Board made an affirmative determination of Mr. Raskas’ independence after due inquiry as to the relevant facts and circumstances and considered all material relationships and transactions between the Company and Mr. Raskas. Additionally, the Board affirmatively determined that Mr. Raskas met the additional independence requirements for Compensation Committee members under NYSE rules and appointed Mr. Raskas to the Compensation Committee upon such determination. The Board reaffirmed these decisions during its annual independence assessment in February 2024.



The Board believes not only that Mr. Raskas is an independent director, but he is also an invaluable member of the Board and Compensation Committee:


21
While the Company was still part of Danaher, Mr. Raskas did not have any operational or managerial responsibility for our business.


Mr. Raskas’ corporate development and private equity experience give him particular insight into acquisition strategy, which represents a key strategic benefit for us.

Although Mr. Raskas is independent, his familiarity with the Danaher Business System and its successor, the Envista Business System, is of unique benefit to us from a functional and governance perspective.
Mr. Raskas has proven himself to be a dedicated and active member of our Board and Compensation Committee.

The Nominating and Governance Committee takes into account a candidate’s ability to contribute to the diversity of perspective and analysis from the Board and, as such, believes it is important to consider attributes such as race, ethnicity, gender, age, education, cultural experience, and professional experience in evaluating candidates who may be able to contribute to the diverse perspective and practical insight of the Board as a whole. Although diversity is an important factor in assessing candidates as director nominees, neither the Board nor the Nominating and Governance Committee has a formal diversity policy. Furthermore, the Board does not make any particular weighting of diversity or any other characteristic in evaluating nominees and directors.


Board Selection Process. When we recruit a director candidate, either a search firm engaged by the Nominating and Governance Committee or a member
of the Board will contact the prospect to assess interest and availability. The candidate will interview with several members of the Board and at the same time, the Nominating and Governance Committee with the support of the search firm will conduct such further inquiries as the Nominating and Governance Committee deems appropriate, including a background check.  The Nominating and Governance Committee will make a recommendation to appoint a candidate to the Board and then the Board will vote on such recommendation.

Stockholder Recommendations. Stockholders may recommend a director nominee to the Nominating and Governance Committee. A stockholder who wishes to recommend a prospective nominee for the Board should notify the Nominating and Governance Committee in writing using the procedures described below under “—Communications with the Board of Directors” with whatever supporting material the stockholder considers appropriate. If a prospective nominee has been identified other than in connection with a director search process initiated by the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee makes an initial determination as to whether to conduct a full evaluation of the candidate. The Nominating and Governance Committee’s determination of whether to conduct a full evaluation is based primarily on the Nominating and Governance Committee’s view as to whether a new or additional Board member is necessary or appropriate at such time, and the likelihood that the prospective nominee can satisfy the evaluation factors described above under “—Board Membership Criteria” and any such other factors as the Nominating and Governance Committee may deem appropriate. The Nominating and Governance Committee takes into account whatever information is provided to it with the recommendation of the prospective candidate and any additional inquiries the Nominating and Governance Committee may in its discretion conduct or have conducted with respect to such prospective nominee. The Nominating and Governance Committee evaluates director nominees inusing the same mannercriteria whether a stockholder or the Board has recommended the candidate.


Communications with the Board of Directors. Stockholders and other parties interested in communicating directly with the Board or with individual directors, the independent Chairperson of the Board or, if the Chairperson is not independent, the Lead Independent Director, or the non-management directors or independent directors as a group may do so by addressing communications to the Board of Directors, to the specified individual director or to the non-management or independent directors, as applicable, c/o Corporate Secretary, Envista Holdings Corporation, 200 S.

Keller and Conley in connection with their promotions);

Objectives and Framework


With the goal of building long-term value for stockholders, our executive compensation program is designed to:


attract and retain executives with the leadership skills, attributes and experience necessary to succeed in an enterprise with our complexity and global footprint;
motivate executives to perform consistently at or above the levels that we expect, over the long-term and through a range of economic cycles; and
link compensation to the achievement of corporate goals that we believe best correlate with the creation of long-term stockholder value.


To achieve these objectives, our compensation program combines annual and long-term components, cash and equity, and fixed and variable elements, with a bias toward long-term equity awards which are subject to multi-year vesting periods.Our executive compensation program rewards executive officers when they build long-term stockholder value, achieve annual business goals and maintain long-term careers with us. The Compensation Committee exercises judgment in setting compensation levels, taking into account the following:


Pay competitiveness in the context of the marketplace for executive talent. Our Compensation Committee considers market trends and practices (generally targeting the market median when benchmarking target compensation) in determining pay levels and compensation design to ensure that compensation is appropriately positioned to attract and retain talented executives and that our costs are sustainable relative to peers.


Internal equity, including compensation that reflects the responsibilities and relative complexity of the executive’s position within Envista. To ensure that the most senior executives are held most accountable for long-term operating results and changes in stockholder value, the Compensation Committee believes that both the amount and “at-risk” nature of compensation should increase with the relative complexity and significance of an executive’s position.


Our performance, along with the executive’s performance and contributions. Our cash incentive compensation varies annually to reflect near-term changes in operating and financial results.Our long-term compensation is closely aligned with long-term stockholder value creation, both by tying the ultimate value of the awards to the stock price and because of the length of time executives are required to hold the awards before realizing their value. The executive’s performance and individual contributions toward our business objectives are also incorporated in the Compensation Committee’s decision-making process.

Our Pay Practices


Our approach to executive compensation reflects a range of practices that promote alignment between the interests of executives and those of stockholders and sound governance principles, as illustrated below.


paypractices.jpgScreenshot 2024-03-07 134647.jpg

Pay Equity

We conducted a comprehensive review of our compensation practices to ensure we have a roadmap to address any gaps in pay identified, as needed. We are pleased that we maintained 99% gender pay equity in the U.S. and 100% race/ethnicity pay equity in the U.S. in our most recent pay equity review in February 2024. We are also expanding our global gender pay equity efforts. Achieving gender pay equity is an important initiative for us at Envista and is just one example of the positive work we are doing to support gender equality.

Annual Incentive Compensation


Overview

We provide annual incentives to our NEOs under our Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Incentive Compensation Plan” or “ICP”). The Incentive Compensation PlanICP provides cash bonuses to participants based on the achievement of annual performance metrics relating to our business and the participant’s personal performance. In 2021,2023, the target bonus for each NEO was equal to theirthe executive’s base salary as of December 31, 20212023 multiplied by the relevant target award percentage. The 20212023 actual bonus earned was equal to the target bonus multiplied by an overall weighted factor, which incorporated a Company Financial Factor (“CFF”) as well as a Personal Performance Factor (“PPF”), described in more detail below.


The diagram below illustrates the 20212023 annual incentive award opportunities:


Picture3.gif




*As discussed in more detail under “Company Financial Factor” below, financial achievement for our operating company leaders is based on operating company financial performance and overall Envista financial performance, equally weighted.

Our approach to 20212023 incentive design emphasizes company-wide financial results and teamwork while also rewarding business
financial results and progress against personal objectives and strategic priorities.
33




In establishing annual incentive award opportunities for 2021,2023, our Compensation Committee established two of the same metrics and weights used in 20202022 for annual incentive compensation which reflects the continued importance of core(core sales growth earnings,weighted at 50% and free cash flow.flow ratio weighted at 10%) and replaced adjusted EPS with adjusted EBITDA margin, weighted at 40%. The Compensation Committee decided to include adjusted EBITDA margin rather than adjusted EPS in 2023 due to the concern that adjusted EPS would have greater volatility and uncertainty based on external factors, such as inflation and rising interest rates, and greater ability of ICP participants to influence adjusted EBITDA margin performance through day-to-day decision making, thus more directly tying pay for performance within the participants’ control, which plays an important role in employee recruitment and retention. Highlights of our approach to rewarding company-wide performance in the form of the Company Financial Factor, which constitutes 75% of the annual incentive opportunity, are as follows:


picture4.jpgIncentive Compensation.jpg

32



Core sales growth, adjusted EPSEBITDA margin and free cash flow ratio are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and insight into how these non-GAAP measures are considered by management, please see Appendix A.


Individual performance in the form of Strategic Priorities/Personal Performance Factor constitutes 25% of the annual incentive opportunity and reflects the executive’s execution against operational and personal goals for the year, overall leadership effectiveness, overall financial performance, and, for executives managing a business, operating performance for that business. Our Compensation Committee maintains discretion in determining incentive payouts for each executive officer.We believe that such discretion is set at a reasonable level, strengthens the effectiveness of our compensation programs by allowing performance differentiation among our leadership team and enables the Compensation Committee to incorporate risk mitigation and unanticipated developments in determining payouts.


Company Financial Factor (“CFF”)
FinancialIn line with our core value of Continuous Improvement, financial performance targets for incentive purposes are set at challenging levels thatlevels. They generally constitute an improvement over the prior comparable period in line with our core value of Continuous Improvement.but also take into account the macro-economic environment (for example, interest rates, inflation, supply chain challenges, etc.).


Messrs. Aghdaei, YuKeller and Nance (Corporate NEOs)
The 20212023 CFF for Messrs. Aghdaei, YuKeller and Nance was based on Envista’s performance against (i) core sales growth, (ii) earnings per share,adjusted EBITDA margin, and (iii) adjusted free cash flow to adjusted net income ratio. In 2021,2023, actual performance was below the threshold level for each of the core sales growth, adjusted EBITDA margin and earnings per share attainment was above maximum, and there was no payout for adjusted free cash flow ratio giving rise tomeasures, resulting in a CFF for these executives of 180%0% of target, as shown in the table below.

We do not disclose the specific targets for our operating companies’ performance metrics as they are highly confidential and would provide competitors and third parties with insight into the Company’s internal planning processes that may allow them to

predict certain of our operating companies’ financial and/or operational strategies, which could cause us competitive harm. The performance metrics of core sales growth, adjusted operating profit, and working capital turnover were based on a range of factors, including growth outlooks for our respective product portfolios, the competitive environment, our internal budgets, external market economic conditions and market expectations. For example, growth rates implicit in targets for any one operating company may be above or below the growth rates targeted for the entire Company, due to faster or slower growth in relevant markets or smaller or larger market shares. These considerations result in operating company targets that are intended to coincide with Company-wide targets in their level of difficulty to achieve and probability for success. Like the performance targets set for Envista, the performance targets for our operating companies are set at levels that we believe are challenging and which generally constitute an improvement over the prior comparable period, in line with our core value of Continuous Improvement.Improvement, subject to the Compensation Committee’s need to establish attainable goals (with effort) during challenging economic conditions.


Personal Performance Factor (“PPF”) & Individual Payouts

Following the end of 2021,2023, the Compensation Committee used its judgment and the recommendations of Mr. Aghdaei to determine for each executive a PPF between 0% and 150%. The Compensation Committee assigneddid not assign a PPF of 120% for Mr. Aghdaei. With respect to the other NEOs, the average PPF assigned by the Compensation Committee was 112.5%92.5%. Our Compensation Committee has discretion in determining the PPF of each executive officer, which is an important risk-mitigating element to our compensation program.


The target percentages for our NEOs as a percentage of base salary were as follows: Mr. Aghdaei, 125%; Mr. Yu, 75%Keller, 45%; Mr. Kyrillos,Conley, 70%; Mr. Eriksson, 70%; and Mr. Nance, 60%. TheWhile the Incentive Compensation Plan permitted a payout to Messrs. Keller and Nance based on the combined weighted CFF and PPF, the Compensation Committee exercised discretion to approve a $0 payout for those individuals to align with Envista’s 0% CFF. Because our OpCos’ performance resulted in positive CFFs, the Compensation Committee approved Incentive Compensation Plan payouts for Messrs. Conley and Eriksson.Accordingly, the bonus target amounts, relevant CFF and PPF for each eligible NEO resulted in the followingand non-equity Incentive Compensation Plan payouts for 2021:2023 are as follows:

The NEOs can earn between 0% to 200% of the target number of PSUs, depending on the level of performance achieved.
Core sales growth rate is determined on a currency neutral basis excluding the first-year impact of any acquisitions and the impact of any divestitures. Adjusted EBITDA margin is the Company’s adjusted EBITDA, calculated consistent with how the Company reports adjusted EBITDA to the public, divided by the Company’s total net sales.



Core sales growth and adjusted EBITDA margin were considered appropriate metrics given their importance to our growth strategy. TSR percentile rank acts as a modifier to core sales growth and adjusted EBITDA margin as a means to validate that the outcome is directionally aligned with our returns to stockholders during the same performance period.

Our Compensation Committee establishes separate performance goals for each annual equity award.

Compensation Peer Group Analysis


Each year, the Compensation Committee works with its independent compensation consultant, FW Cook, to determine appropriate peer companies for benchmarking our executive compensation program. FW Cook uses the following guidelines in recommending a peer group to the Compensation Committee:


theThe extent to which such companies compete with us in one or more lines of business and for executive talent; and
comparabilityComparability of size, scope and complexity (including revenues, market capitalization, net income, total assets and number of employees.employees).

Of note, peer selection is challenging given that there is a limited number of companies operating solely within the dental equipment space, requiring consideration of size-comparable companies operating within similar industries.

In May 2021,2023, FW Cook reviewed the Company’s peer group for purposes of evaluating our compensation decisions for our executive officers and non-employee directors and recommended no changes to the peer group remain the same. Former peer companies Varian Medical Systems, Inc. and Cantel Medical Corp. were acquired in 2021 necessitating their removal.group.


38


Based on the recommendations of FW Cook, our Compensation Committee adopted a compensation peer group consisting of the following companies:


Align Technology, Inc.Hill-Rom Holdings,Henry Schein, Inc.NuVasive, Inc.
CONMED CorporationHologic, Inc.Patterson Companies, Inc.
The Cooper Companies, Inc.ICU Medical, Inc.PerkinElmer,Revvity, Inc.
DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc.Integer Holdings CorporationSTERIS plc
Henry Schein, Inc.Enovis CorporationIntegra LifeSciences Holdings Corp.Teleflex Incorporated


While our Compensation Committee considers the data from the peer group helpful in assessing our competitive position, our Compensation Committee refers to other resources, including published compensation data from other surveys and from public compensation data for competitors to one or more of our operating companies in an effort to ensure our compensation program is competitive. In addition to compensation data, the Compensation Committee considers pay for performance and long-term value creation objectives in determining the compensation for our executive officers that best aligns management’s interests with those of our stockholders.



Stock Ownership Policies


To further align management and stockholder interests and discourage inappropriate or excessive risk-taking, our stock ownership policy requires our executive officers to obtain a substantial equity stake in our common stockCommon Stock within five years of their appointment to an executive position. The multiples of base salary required by the guidelines are as follows:
38


EXECUTIVE LEVELSTOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES

(AS A MULTIPLE OF SALARY)
Chief Executive Officer5x base salary
Senior Vice President2x base salary


Once an executive has acquired a number of shares that satisfies the ownership multiple, such number of shares then becomes his or her minimum ownership requirement (even if the executive’s salary increases or the fair market value of such shares subsequently changes) until he or she is promoted to a higher level. Under the policy, beneficial ownership includes shares in which the executive or his or her spouse or child has a direct or indirect interest, notional shares of our common stockCommon Stock in the DCP, EDIP or ECP, shares held in a 401(k) plan, and unvested RSUs, but does not include PSUs or shares subject to unexercised stock options. Each of our NEOs was in compliance with the stock ownership requirements as of December 31, 2021.2023, having acquired the required number of shares or having more time to do so.


Pledging Policy. Our Board has adopted a policy that prohibits any of our executive officers, including our NEOs, and our directors from pledging as security under any obligation any shares of our common stockCommon Stock that he or she directly or indirectly owns and controls.


Hedging Policy. We maintain a policy that prohibits any of our employees and directors from engaging in any transactions involving a derivative of our securities, including hedging transactions.


Recoupment Policy


To further discourage inappropriate or excessive risk-taking, our Compensation Committee has adopted a recoupment (or clawback) policy applicable to our executive officers who are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 under the Exchange Act (the “covered persons”), including our NEOs.NEOs, in accordance with Rule 10D-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act and the related listing rules of the NYSE.

policy is enforceable against all covered persons and their beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives. In addition, the stock plans in which our executive officers participate contain provisions for recovering awards upon certain circumstances. Under the terms of our 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2019 Plan”), if an employee is terminated for gross misconduct, the administrator may cause the participant’s unexercised or unvested equity awards to be partially or completely forfeited. In addition, under the terms of our EDIP and ECP, if termination of an employee’s participation in the plan resulted from the employee’s gross misconduct, the administrator may determine that the employee’s vesting percentage is zero with respect to all balances that were contributed by us.


Tax Deductibility of Executive Compensation


Our Compensation Committee will periodically review the tax impact of executive compensation on the Company as well as on our executive officers in addition to taking into account other considerations such as accounting impact, stockholder alignment, market competitiveness, effectiveness and perceived value to employees. Because many different factors influence a well-rounded, comprehensive and effective executive compensation program, we expect that some of the compensation provided to our executive officers will not be deductible under Section 162(m).


Risk Considerations and Review of Executive Compensation Practices


Risk-taking is an essential part of growing a business, and prudent risk management is necessary to deliver long-term, sustainable stockholder value. Our management coordinates the risk assessment and oversight of the Company’s incentive compensation plans with a cross functional team and presents its conclusions to the Compensation Committee. FW Cook, the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, participates in identifying and assessing risk. Upon review and discussion, the Compensation Committee agreed that the Company’s executive compensation program supports the objectives described above without encouraging inappropriate or excessive risk-taking.

In reaching this conclusion, our Compensation Committee considered in particular the following attributes and risk-mitigation features of our executive compensation program:
ATTRIBUTERISK-MITIGATING EFFECT
ATTRIBUTERISK-MITIGATING EFFECT
Incentive compensation programs feature multiple, complementary performance measures aligned with business strategyMitigates incentive to over-perform with respect to any particular metric at the expense of other metrics and/or to play accounting games. The presence of strategic metrics in the annual incentive plan ensures that the Compensation Committee retains discretion and the focus is not exclusively financial.
Long-term incentives balance options and full-value awards, and incorporate competitive vesting periodsUpside from options is balanced by the presence of downside risk inherent in full value awards such as RSUs. The introduction of PSUs in 2022 (and related down weighting of options and time-based RSUs) provide upside leverage and downside protection. Multi-year vesting periods ensure that executives will not benefit excessively from short-run spikes in the stock price.
Rigorous, no-fault clawback policy that is triggered even in the absence of wrongdoingEnsures executives remain exposed to risks faced by the Company’s owners under all circumstances. Helps support a culture of “no excuses.”
Stock ownership requirements for all executive officersEnsures executives build up their exposure to risks faced by the Company’s owners over time. The Compensation Committee reviews requirements and compliance on an annual basis and may incorporate these in setting compensation opportunity and granting stock awards.
No hedging of Envista securities permittedPrevents executives from reducing risks by entering into financial contracts which offset their risk and/or exposure to the Company.
Independent compensation consultant that performs no other services for the CompanyEnsures the Compensation Committee and the Board receive broad market information about market practices and trends. Helps ensure advice will not be influenced by conflicts of interest.
Executive Officer payouts are approved by the Compensation CommitteeIncentive calculations are reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee also reviews and approves objectives and performance and ensures that they are set at challenging yet achievable levels.


Our Compensation Committee will periodically review the compensation programs and design and may make certain changes to align them with our compensation philosophy and view of our business needs and strategic priorities, taking into account risk and risk mitigation considerations.

CEO Pay Ratio

We are providing this pay ratio disclosure in accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act. The pay ratio disclosed below is a reasonable estimate derived from our internal records using the methodology described below. This information may not be comparable to the ratio that any other company reports because other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may use different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their pay ratios.

In connection with determining the median employee identified in last year’s proxy statement (the “2020 Median Employee”), we considered only those employees that we employed as of November 1, 2020. The rest of the methodology that we used to identify the 2020 Median Employee is described in our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on April 12, 2021.

In accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we concluded that there had been no change in our employee population or employee compensation arrangements that would significantly impact our pay ratio disclosure, such that, consistent with the SEC’s regulations, we could continue to use the 2020 Median Employee in calculating our CEO pay ratio for 2021. However, the
40


particular employee we selected in 2020 as our 2020 Median Employee is no longer employed by the Company. As such, and as allowed by SEC rules and regulations, we have used a substitute median employee in calculating our 2021 pay ratio (the “Substitute Median Employee”). The Substitute Median Employee’s compensation is substantially similar to that of the 2020 Median Employee.

Mr. Aghdaei’s annual total compensation for 2021 was $9,199,748 as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table on page 43. The 2021 annual total compensation for the Substitute Median Employee, calculated in the same manner, was estimated to be $45,949. Therefore, our CEO to median employee pay ratio for 2021 is approximately 200 to 1.

(3)These amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value of all equity awards made in the applicable year by Danaher prior to the Separation and by us on or after the Separation, computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718. As such, they do not correspond to the actual economic value that may be received by our named executive officersNEOs from these awards. The “Stock Awards” column equals the aggregate grant date fair value of all RSUs and PSUs granted during the relevant year, as applicable. The grant date fair value for RSUs is calculated as the number of RSUs multiplied by the closing price of the common stockCommon Stock on the date of grant. For PSUs, we are required to report the PSU awards at the beginning of the three-year performance cycle (in the year in which the PSU awards were granted), even though they will not be paid (if at all) until the end of the performance period. The amounts shown assume performance at target. The PSUs are paid only if performance conditions are met, and the final payment amount will range from 0% to 200% of the stated target. See the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards for Fiscal 2023” table below for the threshold, target, and maximum amounts that can be earned. With respect to stock option grants shown in the “Options Awards” column, the grant date fair value has been calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The “Option Awards” value for 2019 equals the aggregate grant date fair value of all Stock Options granted during 2019 as well as the aggregate incremental change resulting from the remeasurement of converted Danaher options as of December 18, 2019. Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules, the amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. Additional information about the assumptions that we used when valuing equity awards is set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K in Note 17 to the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for the 2023 fiscal year 2021.year.

The amounts set forth below assume that the triggering event occurred on December 31, 2021.2023. See “Employee Benefit Plans” for a description of the Envista Holdings Corporation Severance and Change in Control Plan providing for certain severance payments upon specified terminations without cause, resignations with good reason and upon and in connection with a change in control, each as defined under such plan. Where benefits are based on the market value of our common stock,Common Stock, we have used the closing price of our Common Stock as reported on the NYSE on December 31, 2021,29, 2023, the last trading day of the year ($45.0624.06 per share). In addition to the amounts set forth below, upon any termination of employment, each executive would also be entitled to (1) receive all payments generally provided to salaried employees on a non-discriminatory basis on termination, such as life insurance proceeds (for any termination caused by death), unused vacation and 401(k) plan distributions, (2) receive accrued, vested balances under the EDIP or ECP (except that under the EDIP and ECP, if an employee’s employment terminates as a result of gross misconduct, the EDIP or ECP administrator may determine that the employee’s vesting percentage with respect to all employer contributions is zero), and (3) exercise vested stock options (except that under the terms of the 2019 Plan, all outstanding equity awards are terminated upon, and no employee can exercise any outstanding equity award after, termination for gross misconduct). The values reflected in the table below relating to the acceleration of stock options, RSUs and RSUsPSUs reflect the intrinsic value (that is, the value based on the price of our Common Stock, and in the case of stock options minus the exercise price) of the options, RSUs and RSUsPSUs that would have vested had the specified event occurred on December 31, 2021.2023.

Employee Benefit Plans


Following is a description of the material terms of the equity compensation, cash incentive compensation, non-qualified deferred compensation and severance pay plans in which our NEOs are eligible to participate. Copies of these plans have been filed as exhibits to our filings with the SEC.


Each of these plans allows the plan administrator to exercise certain discretion in the administration of the plan, and as a result the plan administrator may administer the plan in a different manner from period to period, or in a different manner with respect to different plan participants, in each case to the extent permitted under the applicable plan.


Envista Holdings Corporation 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan


On September 17, 2019, we adopted and Danaher, in its capacity as our sole stockholder prior to the completion of the IPO, approved the Envista Holdings Corporation 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the(as amended to date, the “2019 Plan”). The 2019 Plan is a comprehensive incentive plan that permits us to grant both equity-based and non-equity based compensation awards to our employees, non-employee directors and consultants, as well as those of our eligible subsidiaries. The 2019 Plan became effective on September 17, 2019.

We also granted to our
52


independent directors the annual equity awards described below under “Director Compensation—Director Compensation Structure.”Structure” under the 2019 Plan.


Severance and Change in Control Plan


On November 3, 2020, the Board adopted the Envista Holdings Corporation Severance and Change in Control Plan (the “Severance Plan”) for employees designated by the Compensation Committee to be eligible to receive benefits under the Severance Plan, including the NEOs, among others, to participate in the Severance Plan. The Severance Plan provides for the payment of severance and other benefits upon a Good Reason Resignation or an involuntary termination of employment that is for reasons other than Cause, Permanent Disability or death (as defined in the Severance Plan). Subject to customary releases and agreements upon a participant’s termination of employment, the Severance Plan provides for the following payments and benefits upon a qualifying termination:


cash payments equal to (i) the participant’s Severance Multiple (which is 2.0 for the Chief Executive Officer and 1.0 for all other participants) multiplied by the participant’s annual Base Salary plus (ii) the Severance Multiple multiplied by the participant’s Annual Bonus Target Amount;
a cash payment equal to the participant’s pro-rated annual bonus based on actual performance for the year;
a lump sum payment equal to the amount the Company would have otherwise contributed toward the participant’s group health, prescription, vision and dental coverage premium for a period of months equal to 12 multiplied by the participant’s Severance Multiple, subject to a maximum of 18 months; and
the opportunity to continue enrollment and coverage in the Company’s medical, dental and vision plans under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), for the maximum COBRA coverage period available.


The Severance Plan also provides for the payment of benefits upon a Good Reason Resignation (as defined in the Severance Plan) or involuntary termination for reasons other than Cause, Permanent Disability or death that occurs within 24 months after the date of a Change in Control (as defined in the Severance Plan) as follows:


the cash payment described above equal to the participant’s Severance Multiple increased by 0.5;
the cash payment equal to the participant’s pro-rated annual bonus described above, determined as if the target performance goals had been achieved, subject to offset to the extent that a bonus payment is paid as a result of a Change in Control;
52


full vesting of any unvested equity awards held by the participant;participant, with performance deemed to have been achieved at the target performance level for PSUs;
the lump sum payment for insurance premiums as described above equal to 18 months of coverage; and
the opportunity to continue enrollment and coverage in the Company’s insurance plans under COBRA, for the maximum COBRA coverage period available.


The Severance Plan supersedes (and will not duplicate) the provisions of any severance or other plan that specifically provide the same type or types of benefits as are described in the Severance Plan, including the Envista Senior Leaders Severance Pay Plan Component of the Envista Severance Plan that was previously applicable to our NEOs.

On November 3, 2020, in connection with the adoption of the Severance Plan, the Board approved amendments to the Company’s outstanding equity awards, consisting of stock options and/or restricted stock units issued to the Company’s employees, including the NEOs. The amendments provide for accelerated vesting of the equity awards in the event of a termination of employment within 24 months following a “Substantial Corporate Change” of the Company (as defined in the 2019 Plan) if the awards are effectively assumed or continued by the surviving or acquiring company in such Substantial Corporate Change and the participant is terminated without “Gross Misconduct” (as defined in the 2019 Plan) or, if the participant participates in the Severance Plan, is terminated due to an “Involuntary Termination” or “Good Reason Resignation.” The amendments to outstanding stock option awards also provide that the participant may exercise his or her vested options until the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of the participant’s termination date and (ii) the expiration date of the options as set forth in the award agreement for the options.


Supplemental Retirement Program


In connection with the completion of the IPO, we adopted the Envista Holdings Executive Deferred Incentive Program (the “EDIP”), the Envista Holdings Corporation Excess Contribution Program (the “ECP”) and the Envista Holdings Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan (the “DCP”) (collectively, the “Supplemental Retirement Plans”). The Supplemental Retirement Plans became effective in accordance with their terms on December 18, 2019, which was the date of the completion of the Split-Off,disposition of our shares owned by Danaher (the “Split-Off”), and as of such time each of our NEOs who participated in the Danaher supplemental retirement programs transitioned, along with their account balances, to the respective Envista Supplemental Retirement Plans. We use the EDIP, ECP and DCP to provide supplemental retirement benefits on a pre-tax basis in excess of qualified plan limitations to select management associates of Envista and its subsidiaries. Only those associates who participated in the Danaher Executive Deferred Incentive Program immediately before the Split-Off are eligible to participate in our EDIP.


Company Contributions under the EDIP. At the beginning of each plan year, we credit to the account of each participant in the EDIP an amount equal to the product of:


the sum of the participant’s base salary and target bonus as of the end of the prior year; and
a percentage determined by the administrator that is based on the participant’s years of participation in the EDIP (including prior participation with Danaher), namely 6% for employees who have participated in the EDIP for less than 10 years, 8% after 10 years of EDIP participation and 10% after 15 years of EDIP participation.


All amounts that we contribute to a participant’s account are deemed invested on a notional basis in our common stock.Common Stock.


53


A participant vests in the amounts that we credit to his or her account as follows:


If the participant has both reached age 55 and completed at least five years of service with us or our subsidiaries, the participant immediately vests 100% in each Company contribution.
If the participant does not satisfy the conditions described under the preceding bullet, the participant’s vesting percentage is 10% for each year of participation in the EDIP (after the participant has first completed five years of participation in the EDIP).
If a participant dies while employed by us, his or her vesting percentage equals 100%.


If termination of an employee’s participation in the EDIP resulted from the employee’s gross misconduct, the administrator may reduce the employee’s vested interest with respect to all Company contributions to as low as zero percent.


Messrs.Mr. Aghdaei and Eriksson participateparticipates in the EDIP.EDIP, and Mr. Eriksson participated in the EDIP prior to his departure effective December 31, 2023.


Company Contributions under the ECP.Company Contributions under the ECP may be Matching Contributions, Non-Elective Contributions, or Discretionary Contributions (all as defined under the ECP).


53


1.Matching Contributions. We will make a Matching Contribution to a participant’s ECP account as of February 1 immediately following the end of a calendar year, equal to: (a) 100% of the voluntary deferral contributions credited to a participant’s DCP account for the calendar year while such participant is employed as an associate, but not in excess of 3% of such participant’s matching compensation for such year; plus (b) 50% of the voluntary deferral contributions credited to a participant’s DCP account for the calendar year while such participant is employed as an associate, in excess of 3% but not in excess of 5% of such participant’s matching compensation for such year.
2.Non-Elective Contributions. We will make a Non-Elective Contribution to a participant’s ECP account as of February 1 immediately following the end of a calendar year, equal to 4% of a participant’s non-elective compensation for such year.
3.Discretionary Contributions. We may elect during any year to make Discretionary Contributions to a participant’s ECP account at such time and in such amount as may be determined by us in our sole discretion.


Company Contributions are denominated in fictitious shares of our common stock.Common Stock. Participants do not have any rights of equity ownership in Envista as a result of receipt of Company Contributions. Company Contributions under the ECP are vested in accordance with the following schedule:


1.     One-Year Vesting Threshold. A Company Contribution does not vest until the first anniversary of the date the Company Contribution is credited to a participant’s account (generally February 1 after the year it is earned). On and after such first anniversary, whether the Company Contribution is vested will depend on whether it is a Matching Contribution, Non-Elective Contribution, or Discretionary Contribution.
2.    Matching Contributions and Discretionary Contributions. Matching Contributions and Discretionary Contributions become fully vested on and after the first anniversary that the Matching Contribution or Discretionary Contribution (as applicable) is credited to a participant’s account.
3.     Non-Elective Contributions. A Non-Elective Contribution becomes fully vested on and after the first anniversary that the Non-Elective Contribution is credited to a participant’s account, but only if such participant has 3 Years of Service (as defined under the 401(k) Plan), which for this purpose will include Years of Service with Danaher.


Notwithstanding the foregoing, a participant will become fully vested in all Company Contributions credited to his or her account if such participant dies while employed by Envista.


If termination of an employee’s participation in the ECP resulted from the employee’s gross misconduct, the administrator may reduce the employee’s vested interest with respect to all Company contributions to as low as zero percent.


Voluntary Deferrals.DCP participants are permitted to voluntarily defer into the program, on a pre-tax basis, up to 85% of his or her salary and/or up to 85% of his or her non-equity incentive compensation with respect to a given plan year. Notional earnings on amounts deferred under the program are credited to participant accounts based on the market rate of return of the applicable benchmark investment alternatives offered under the program, which are generally the same as the investment alternatives offered under our 401(k) Plan (except for any investment options that may only be offered under the tax qualified 401(k) Plan). Each participant allocates the amounts he or she voluntarily defers among the available investment alternatives. Participants may change their allocations at any time, provided that any portion of a participant’s account that is subject to the Envista common stockCommon Stock investment alternative must remain allocated to that investment alternative until the account is distributed to the participant. Participants are at all times fully vested in amounts they voluntarily defer into their DCP accounts. Prior to January 1, 2019, participants in the Danaher EDIP were permitted to voluntarily defer into the program on similar terms as the DCP described above. Such amounts have been transferred over to our EDIP and all such voluntary deferrals are fully vested in such participants’ accounts.


Distributions. In general, a participant may not receive a distribution of his or her vested EDIP account balance (including any amounts voluntarily deferred under the Danaher EDIP) until after his or her employment with us terminates. A participant

generally may elect to receive a distribution of his or her DCP account balance following his or her termination of employment or on a specified future date prior to his or her termination of employment.

DCPParticipant may elect to begin receiving distributions on the earlier of a fixed date or termination of employment. Distributions on a fixed date must be at least 3 years after the date of election. Distribution elections upon a termination of employment are the same as under the EDIP (a six-month delay may apply to distributions on a termination of employment if the participant is a “key employee” under applicable tax rules).Participant may elect lump sum or annual installments over a period of up to ten years.All balances subject to the common stockCommon Stock investment alternative must be distributed in shares of common stock,Common Stock, and all other balances must be paid in cash.

Generally, such distribution will be paid on the first day of the month following a participant’s employment termination date, however certain “specified employees” under applicable tax rules may be subject to a six-month delay.


Certain events, such as the participant’s death or an unforeseeable emergency, may impact the timing of a distribution under the EDIP, DCP or ECP.


General. Under the EDIP, DCP, and ECP, Company contributions and amounts voluntarily deferred are unfunded and unsecured obligations of Envista, receive no preferential standing and are subject to the same risks as any of our other general obligations.

CEO Pay Ratio

We are providing this pay ratio disclosure in accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act. The pay ratio disclosed below is a reasonable estimate derived from our internal records using the methodology described below. This information may not be comparable to the ratio that any other company reports because other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may use different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their pay ratios.

We identified a median employee as of November 1, 2023 (the “Median Employee”). In connection with determining the Median Employee, we considered only those employees that we employed as of November 1, 2023 (the “Determination Date”). In addition, in reliance on the “de minimis” exemption provided by Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we identified the median employee from an employee population that excluded the non-U.S. employees from each of the jurisdictions listed below. In compliance with the “de minimis” exemption, the 622 non-U.S. employees in the excluded countries constituted less than 5% of our 12,967 aggregate employees (comprised of 3,002 U.S. and 9,965 non-U.S. employees) as of the Determination Date.

We identified the Median Employee by examining the total cash compensation, including base salary, overtime, bonus and commission (excluding benefits), for each of the employees in such employee population (excluding the employees we describe above) who was employed as of the Determination Date. For non-U.S. employees that we paid in currency other than U.S. dollars, we applied the applicable currency exchange rate as of November 1, 2023.

Mr. Aghdaei’s annual total compensation for 2023 was $7,059,325 as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table on page43. The 2023 annual total compensation for the Median Employee, calculated in the same manner, was estimated to be $42,579. Therefore, our CEO to median employee pay ratio for 2023 is approximately 166 to 1.

(3)Total shareholder return (“TSR”) is determined based on the value of an initial fixed investment of $100 on December 31, 2019. The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the S&P 500 Health Care Index, which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.

(4)We determined adjusted EBITDA margin, calculated consistent with how the Company reports adjusted EBITDA to the public, divided by the Company’s total net sales, to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs in 2023. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for years 2021 and 2020, and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.

Director Compensation


Director Compensation Features

P Retainers for Board and committee chairs recognize additional responsibility associated with leadership roles
P Differentiating committee chair retainers based on time commitment and expertise associated with each role is majority practice
P Annual equity grants with one-year vesting allow directors to accumulate meaningful ownership and prevent the possibility of entrenchment
P Dollar-denominated equity awards provide for the delivery of consistent compensation levels on an annual basis regardless of price volatility
P Compensation provided solely in the form of equity and cash with equity representing at least 50% of total value
P Robust stock ownership guideline of 5x Board cash retainer aligns director and stockholder interests
P No meeting fees, except for payments in excess of a threshold number of meetings to account for higher workloads
P Absence of retirement or benefit programs avoids conflicts of interest

Director Compensation Philosophy


We use a combination of cash and equity-based compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on the Board.In setting director compensation, the Board and the Compensation Committee are guided by the following principles:


compensation should fairly pay directors for work required in a company of our size and scope, and differentiate among directors where appropriate to reflect different levels of responsibilities;
a significant portion of the total compensation should be paid in stock-based awards to align directors’ interests with the long-term interests of our stockholders; and
the structure of the compensation program should be simple and transparent.


Process for Setting Director Compensation


TheNon-employee director compensation levels are reviewed by the Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewingeach year, and makingresulting recommendations are presented to the full Board regarding non-management director compensation (althoughfor approval. To help inform its decisions, the Board will make the final determination regarding the amounts and type of non-management director compensation). The Compensation Committee uses an independent compensation consultant to prepare regular reportsprovide information on market non-managementcurrent developments and practices in director compensation practices and evaluate our program in light of the results of such reports.compensation. Under the terms of the 2019 Plan, an annual limit of $700,000 per calendar year applies to the sum of all cash and equity-based awards (calculated based on the grant date fair value of such awards for financial reporting purposes) granted to each non-management director for services as a member of the Board. This annual limit does not apply to compensation (including equity awards and cash compensation) paid to any non-management director who also provides services to Envista outside of such director’s ordinary duties as a director (e.g., as a consultant to the Company) for such other services.


Director Compensation Structure


Non-employee directors receive an annual cash retainer and an annual equity award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for service on the Board, as well as additional cash retainers for the Chair of the Board or chair of a committee, as applicable. Cash retainers are paid in four, equal installments following each quarter of service. The annual equity awards are granted each year immediately following the annual meeting of stockholders. The following table sets forth the cash and equity compensation for non-employee directors in effect during fiscal 2021*:2023:


61


Annual Cash Retainer$100,000
Annual Equity Award$175,000*185,000
Board Chair Cash Retainer$62,50075,000
Board Chair Equity Award$62,50075,000
Audit Committee Chair Cash Retainer$20,000*25,000
Compensation Committee Chair Cash Retainer$15,000*20,000
Nominating and Governance Committee Chair Cash Retainer$10,000*15,000
Meeting Fees$2,000 for each Board and committee meeting attended in excess of 20 meetings (in aggregate) in a calendar year, including meetings of the Finance Committee.


*The Annual Equity Award was increased to $185,000 and the Committee Chair Cash Retainers were increased by $5,000 each effective November 9, 2021, as described below under “Changes to Director Compensation.”

The annual equity award of RSUs vests on the datefirst anniversary of and immediately prior to, the next annual meeting of stockholders following the date of grant, prorated for the first year of service on the Board, with the underlying shares not issued until the earlier of the director’s death or the first day of the seventh month following the director’s retirement from the Board (or in each case the next business day thereafter if such date is not a business day). Beginning with the 2022 annual equity grants, the underlying shares will bebeing issued on the vesting date or such later date as electedselected by the non-employee director in a valid deferral election (or in each case the next business day thereafter if such date is not a business day). See “Changes to Director Compensation” below. Directors are also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses, including travel expenses, related to the director’s service on the Board.Board.


Changes to Director Compensation

In 2021, the Compensation Committee engaged FW Cook, its independent compensation consultant, to review and analyze non-employee director compensation. FW Cook presented its report and analysis to the Compensation Committee and compared the Company’s non-employee director compensation program with the pay program in place for non-employee directors at the Company’s peer group companies used for executive officer compensation decisions (see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis —Compensation Peer Group Analysis” above). The Compensation Committee considered the recommendations of FW Cook and a number of other factors, including market trends and best practices. The Compensation Committee noted that the Company’s director compensation program is slightly below the peer group median. Consequently, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, adopted the following policies and practices regarding non-employee director compensation effective November 9, 2021:

Increased the annual equity award amount from $175,000 to $185,000;
Increased the cash retainer payable to each of the committee chairs by $5,000 as follows:
Increased the Audit Committee Chair cash retainer from $20,000 to $25,000;
Increased the Compensation Committee Chair cash retainer from $15,000 to $20,000; and
Increased the Nominating and Governance Committee Chair cash retainer from $10,000 to $15,000.

In addition, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved the following changes to the annual equity awards granted to our non-employee directors, beginning with the 2022 annual equity awards:

Approved a deferral option for non-employee directors to elect to defer receipt of the shares underlying their RSU awards until such later date as set forth in the director’s deferral election form; and
Approved an amendment to the form of RSU award agreement for non-employee directors to remove a seven-month holding requirement post-separation from service as a director, such that the shares of common stock underlying the RSUs will be issued to the non-employee directors on the vesting date or such later date as elected by the non-employee director in a valid deferral election (or in each case the next business day thereafter if such date is not a business day).

Director Stock Ownership Requirements and Hedging / Pledging Policy


Our Board has adopted stock ownership requirements for our non-management directors. Underdirectors, providing that each director must retain at least five times the requirements, each non-management director (withinvalue of his or her annual cash retainer in our Common Stock within five years of his or her initial election or appointment) will be required to beneficially own shares of our common stock with a market value of at least five times his or her annual cash retainer.appointment. Once a director has acquired a number of shares that satisfies such ownership multiple, suchreaches this level, the number of shares then becomes suchthe director’s minimum ownership requirement (even if his or her retainer increases or the fair market value of such shares subsequently declines).


Under the policy, beneficial ownership includes RSUs and restricted shares held by the director and shares in which the director or his or her spouse or child has a direct or indirect interest, but does not include shares subject to unexercised stock options.interest.
In addition, our Board has adopted a policy that prohibits any director or executive officer from pledging as security under any obligation any shares of our common stockCommon Stock that he or she directly or indirectly owns and controls. The Board also adopted a policy that prohibits our directors and employees from engaging in any transactions involving a derivative of our securities, including hedging transactions.

Proposal 3. Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation


In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking our stockholders to vote at the Annual Meeting to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. Our advisory vote on executive compensation currently occurs on an annual basis, with the next vote expected to occur at our 20232025 annual meeting of stockholders.


As discussed in detail under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” our executive compensation program is designed to attract and retain executives with the leadership skills, attributes and experience necessary to succeed in an enterprise with our complexity and global footprint; motivate executives to perform consistently at or above the levels that we expect, over the long-term and through a range of economic cycles; and link compensation to the achievement of corporate goals that we believe best correlate with the creation of long-term stockholder value.


Our executive compensation program is structured within a strong framework of corporate governance with a mix of short and long-term incentive compensation, emphasizing long-term. Our executive compensation program rewards executive officers when they build long-term stockholder value, achieve annual business goals and maintain long-term careers with us.


We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for our Named Executive Officer compensation as described in this Proxy Statement. Accordingly, we are asking our stockholders to vote on an advisory basis “FOR” the following non-binding resolution:


“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby approved.”


The vote on this proposal is not intended to address any specific element of compensation; rather, the vote relates to all compensation relating to our Named Executive Officers, as described in this Proxy Statement. The vote is advisory and is not binding on the Company, the Board, or the Compensation Committee, and will not be construed as overruling a decision by, or creating or implying any additional fiduciary duty for, the Company, the Board, or the Compensation Committee. However, the Board and Compensation Committee value the opinions expressed by stockholders in their votes on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions and policies regarding our executive officers.

The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote “FOR”
the resolution set forth in Proposal 3.

Proposal 4. Approval of an Amendment to Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to Include an Officer Exculpation Provision

We are asking our stockholders to vote at the Annual Meeting to approve an amendment to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to provide for exculpation of certain officers of the Company as permitted by recent amendments to Delaware law (the “Proposed Amendment”).

Background of the Proposed Amendment

The State of Delaware, our state of incorporation, recently enacted legislation that enables Delaware corporations to limit the liability of certain of their officers in limited circumstances. Specifically, Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”) was amended to authorize corporations to adopt a provision in their certificate of incorporation to eliminate or limit monetary liability of certain corporate officers, or exculpation, for breach of the fiduciary duty of care. Previously, the DGCL allowed only exculpation of directors for breach of the fiduciary duty of care. As amended, Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL authorizes corporations to provide for exculpation of the following officers: (i) the corporation’s president, chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, chief legal officer, controller, treasurer or chief accounting officer, (ii) “named executive officers” identified in the corporation’s SEC filings, and (iii) other individuals who have agreed to be identified as officers of the corporation.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, as amended, only permits, and the Proposed Amendment would only permit, the exculpation of certain officers in connection with direct claims brought by stockholders, including class actions, but would not eliminate officers’ monetary liability for breach of fiduciary duty claims brought by the Company itself or for derivative claims brought by stockholders in the name of the Company. In addition, as is currently the case with directors under the Certificate of Incorporation, the Proposed Amendment would not limit the liability of officers for any breach of the duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, any acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law and any transaction from which the officer derived an improper personal benefit. Article VII of the Certificate of Incorporation currently provides for the exculpation of directors, but does not include a provision that allows for the exculpation of officers.

Rationale for the Proposed Amendment

The Board believes that it is important to provide protection from certain liabilities and expenses that may discourage prospective or current officers from accepting or continuing service with the Company. As with directors, officers frequently must make decisions in response to time-sensitive opportunities and challenges, which can create substantial risk of investigations, claims, actions, suits or proceedings seeking to impose liability on the basis of hindsight.

The Board also believes the Proposed Amendment would better position the Company to attract highly qualified officer candidates. In the absence of this exculpatory protection, candidates might be deterred from serving as officers due to exposure to personal liability in an environment with increasing litigation and the risk that substantial expense will be incurred in defending lawsuits, regardless of merit. Other public companies have adopted, and we expect that others will adopt, exculpation clauses that limit the personal liability of officers in their respective certificates of incorporation, and failing to adopt the Proposed Amendment could impact our recruitment and retention of highly qualified officer candidates.

The Board also took into account the narrow class and type of claims from which such officers would be exculpated from liability pursuant to DGCL Section 102(b)(7), the limited number of our officers that would be impacted and the benefits the Board believes would accrue to the Company by providing exculpation in accordance with DGCL Section 102(b)(7), including the ability to further enable our officers to best exercise their business judgment in furtherance of stockholder interests.

After weighing these considerations, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Board approved and declared it advisable to adopt, subject to stockholder approval, the Proposed Amendment to provide for exculpation of certain officers of the Company as permitted by recent amendments to Delaware law.

Required Vote and Additional Information

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote on this proposal is required to approve this proposal. If you hold your shares in your own name and abstain from voting on this matter, your abstention will have the effect of a vote against this proposal. If you hold your shares through a bank, broker or other holder of record and you do not instruct them on how to vote on this proposal, they will not have the authority to vote your shares. Abstentions and broker non-votes will each be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal.

If the Proposed Amendment is approved, the Company intends to file an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, substantially in the form included in Appendix B to this Proxy Statement, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and the Proposed Amendment will become effective at the time of that filing. The Board may, at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Proposed Amendment, abandon the Proposed Amendment without further action by the stockholders or the Board (even if the requisite stockholder vote is obtained).

The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to include an officer exculpation provision.

67


Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Our directors, executive officers and, to the extent required by SEC rules, beneficial owners of more than 10 percent of our Common Stock, are subject to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, which requires them to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of our Common Stock with the SEC.

Based solely on a review of the forms filed during, or with respect to, fiscal year 2023 and written representations from each reporting person, all required reports for our directors and executive officers were filed on a timely basis except one routine Form 4 for Eric Conley to report common stock withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations. This Form 4 was filed on May 31, 2023, one business day following the filing deadline.

1 We use the term “core sales” to refer to GAAP revenue excluding (1) sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition (“acquisitions”), (2) sales from discontinued products and (3) the impact of currency translation. Sales from discontinued products includes major brands or products that Envista has made the decision to discontinue as part of a portfolio restructuring. Discontinued brands or products consist of those which Envista (1) is no longer manufacturing, (2) is no longer investing in the research or development of, and (3) expects to discontinue all significant sales within one year from the decision date to discontinue. The portion of sales attributable to discontinued brands or products is calculated as the net decline of the applicable discontinued brand or product from period-to-period. The portion of GAAP revenue attributable to currency exchange rates is calculated as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in sales and (b) the period-to-period change in sales after applying current period foreign exchange rates to the prior year period. We use the term “core sales growth” to refer to the measure of comparing current period core sales with the corresponding period of the prior year.

ENVISTA HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)


A Represents impairment charge related to goodwill and certain indefinite-lived intangibles.

B We exclude costs incurred pursuant to discrete restructuring plans that are fundamentally different (in terms of the size, strategic nature and planning requirements, as well as the inconsistent frequency, of such plans)requirements) from the ongoing productivity improvements that result from application of the Envista Business System. These restructuring plans are incremental to the operating activities that arise in the ordinary course of our business and we believe are not indicative of Envista’s ongoing operating costs in a given period.


BC These represent acquisition related transactions expenses and integration costs with respect to business combinations.

D Represents the fair value adjustment related to inventory acquired in connection with acquisitions.

E Represents gains or losses on equity investments.

F These costs primarily relate to inducement and other expenses incurred in connection with our partial exchange of our 2025 Convertible Senior Notes.

G Represents accruals for certain legal matters.


C These transaction costs areH Represents international tax credit related to a ruling from the pending acquisition of Carestream Dental’s intra-oral scanner business.Brazilian Supreme Court.


D Non-cash interest expense represents accretion of the debt discount associated with the convertible senior notes due 2025.

EI This line item reflects the aggregate tax effect of all pretax adjustments reflected in the preceding line items of the table using each adjustment's applicable tax rate, including the effect of interim tax accounting requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740 Income Taxes.


FJ The discrete tax matters relate primarily to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions and audit settlements, tax benefits resulting from a change in law, and changes in determination of realization of certain deferred tax assets.


K The Company was in a net loss position for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, therefore no shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of stock options, vesting of restricted stock and performance stock units or assumed conversion of the convertible senior notes due 2025 were included in the computation of diluted loss per share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. However, given that the adjustments noted in footnotes A-J resulted in adjusted net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the dilutive impact of stock options, restricted stock and performance stock units and assumed conversion of the convertible senior secured notes due 2025 is being included to arrive at adjusted diluted shares outstanding.

Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Measures


Each of the non-GAAP measures set forth above should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing Envista Holdings Corporation’sCorporation's (“Envista” or the “Company”) results that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, help our investors to:


with respect to Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted EBITDA, understand the long-term profitability trends of Envista’s business and compare Envista’s profitability to prior and future periods and to Envista’s peers;


with respect to Core Sales, identify underlying growth trends in Envista’s business and compare Envista’s revenue performance with prior and future periods and to Envista’s peers;


with respect to Adjusted EBITDA, help investors understand operational factors associated with a company’s financial performance because it excludes the following from consideration: interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and infrequent or unusual losses or gains such as goodwill impairment charges or nonrecurring and restructuring charges. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, as a supplemental measure for assessing operating performance in conjunction with related GAAP amounts. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used in connection with operating decisions, strategic planning, annual budgeting, evaluating Company performance and comparing operating results with historical periods and with industry peer companies; and


with respect to Free Cash Flow (the “FCF Measure”), understand Envista’s ability to generate cash without external financings, strengthen its balance sheet, invest in its business and grow its business through acquisitions and other strategic opportunities (although a limitation of free cash flow is that it does not take into account the Company’s debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures, and as a result the entire Free Cash Flow amount is not necessarily available for discretionary expenditures).

A - 3



Management uses these non-GAAP measures to measure the Company’s operating and financial performance.

A - 3



The items excluded from the non-GAAP measures set forth above have been excluded for the following reasons:


With respect to Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted EBITDA:


We exclude the amortization of acquisition-related and other intangible assets because the amount and timing of such charges are significantly impacted by the timing, size, number and nature of the acquisitions we consummate. While we have a history of significant acquisition activity, we do not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, and the amount of an acquisition’s purchase price allocated to intangible assets and related amortization term are unique to each acquisition and can vary significantly from acquisition to acquisition. Exclusion of this amortization expense facilitates more consistent comparisons of operating results over time between our newly-acquired and long-held businesses, and with both acquisitive and non-acquisitive peer companies. We believe, however, that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation and that intangible asset amortization related to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized.amortized..


With respect to the other items excluded from Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude these items because they are of a nature and/or size that occur with inconsistent frequency, occur for reasons that may be unrelated to Envista's commercial performance during the period and/or we believe that such items may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult.


With respect to core sales, we exclude (1) the effect of acquisitions and divested product lines because the timing, size, number and nature of such transactions can vary significantly from period-to-period and between us and our peers, which we believe may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult, (2) sales from discontinued products because discontinued products do not have a continuing contribution to operations and management believes that excluding such items provides investors with a means of evaluating our on-going operations and facilitates comparisons to our peers, and (3) the impact of currency translation because it is not under management’s control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends.


With respect to the FCF Measure, we excludeadjust for payments for additions to property, plant and equipment (net of the proceeds from capital disposals) to demonstrate the amount of operating cash flow for the period that remains after accounting for the Company’s capital expenditure requirements.
