Danaher issues €3.0 billion of senior notes to help fund Masimo purchase
On April 29, 2026, Danaher issued four series of euro-denominated senior notes under an April 22 underwriting agreement, receiving net proceeds of approximately €2.98 billion. Danaher intends to use most of the proceeds to pay part of the cash consideration and costs of its proposed Masimo Corporation acquisition. If that deal is not completed by November 16, 2026, or is terminated, Danaher must redeem the notes at 101% of principal.
