FAQ's


When did Danaher begin paying dividends?
Danaher began paying dividends in 1993.

Does Danaher offer a dividend reinvestment program?
Danaher does not offer a dividend reinvestment program. The addition of a dividend reinvestment plan would not be an attractive alternative to a sufficient number of shareholders to justify the additional administrative cost.

Will Danaher increase its dividend?
The decision to pay a cash dividend is motivated in large part by the inability of certain investors, including mutual funds, to invest in non-dividend paying stocks. It is our present strategy to use most of our cash generation internally to grow the company and provide capital appreciation to our shareholders.

Two-for-one splits have been declared on the following dates: January 23, 1995, June 1, 1998 and May 21, 2004.
