Dear Envista Employees,

You are receiving this email because you are a Danaher equity award holder located in China and your equity transactions are subject to China’s State Administration of Foreign Exchange (China SAFE).

You are currently registered under Danaher’s China SAFE and will be able to exercise any vested Danaher stock options through December 12, 2019 (subject to all Danaher and Envista policies).

As of the date of settlement of Danaher’s exchange offer of its shares of Envista common stock for shares of Danaher common stock, which is currently expected to occur on December 18, 2019, your Danaher equity awards will be converted to Envista equity awards per the separate equity communication you should have received. After the conversion, you will be able to exercise any vested Envista stock options, subject to all Envista policies; however, you will not be able to receive proceeds until the China SAFE is approved for the Envista equity plan, which is expected to be in the first quarter of 2020.

If you have any questions, please contact Tony Xu or Amanda Devery.
