The target dollar award value attributable to stock options has been translated into a number of stock options based on the actual Black Scholes value used in the Company’s financial statements with respect to the particular grant. The exercise price for stock option awards granted under the Omnibus Plan equals the closing price of Danaher’s Common Stock on the date of grant (or on the immediately preceding trading day if the date of grant is not a trading day).

Stock Ownership-Related Policies

Stock Ownership Requirements

To further align management and shareholder interests and discourage inappropriate or excessive risk-taking, our stock ownership policy requires each executive officer to obtain a substantial equity stake in Danaher within five years of their appointment to an executive position, as follows:

| Title                    |     | Stock Ownership Multiple |
| Chief Executive Officer  |     | 6 times base salary      |
| Executive Vice President |     | 3 times base salary      |
| Senior Vice President    |     | 2 times base salary      |

| What Counts as Ownership:                                                                 |     | What Does Not Count as Ownership: |
| •Shares in which the executive or their spouse or child has a direct or indirect interest 
 •Notional shares in the EDIP, ECP or DCP                                                  
 •Shares held in a 401(k) plan                                                             
 •Unvested RSUs                                                                            
 •Vested PSUs                                                                              |     | •Unexercised stock options        
 •Unvested PSUs                    |

Once an executive officer has acquired a number of Company shares that satisfies the applicable ownership multiple, such number of shares then becomes the officer’s minimum ownership requirement (even if the officer’s salary increases or the fair market value of such shares subsequently changes) until the officer is promoted to a higher level. Each NEO employed by Danaher as of December 31, 2024, was in compliance with the stock ownership requirements as of such date.
