Proxy Summary

About Fortive

Our Company

Fortive Corporation ("Fortive" or "Company") innovates essential technologies to keep our world safe and productive. Fortive's strategic segments - Intelligent Operating Solutions and Advanced Healthcare Solutions - include iconic inventor brands with leading positions in their markets. The company's businesses design, develop, manufacture, and market products, software, and services, building on leading brand names, innovative technologies, and strong market positions. Fortive is headquartered in Everett, Washington and employs a team of more than 10,000 research and development, manufacturing, sales, distribution, service, and administrative team members in approximately 50 countries around the world. With a culture rooted in continuous improvement, the core of our company's operating model is the Fortive Business System.

Ralliant Separation

On June 28, 2025, we completed the separation (the "Separation") of our former Precision Technologies segment (the "PT Segment") by distributing to our shareholders on a pro rata basis all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Ralliant Corporation ("Ralliant"), the entity incorporated to hold the businesses of the PT Segment. The requirements for reporting the Ralliant business as discontinued operations were met upon completion of the Separation. Unless otherwise indicated, all our financial results in this Proxy Statement refer to our results presented on a continuing operations basis.

Fortive Business System

Our teams across our operating companies are united by our culture of continuous improvement - characterized by the high expectations, inclusion, humility, and transparency embodied in the Fortive Business System ("FBS"). This cultural foundation is reinforced by the rigor of our disciplined operating cadence. FBS enables us to operate our businesses with a focus on relentless execution, powered by our mindset and a set of tools and best practices consistently applied across our portfolio. We are continually evolving FBS to accelerate and sustain progress in every aspect of our business and deliver on our "Fortive Accelerated" strategy of faster profitable growth, disciplined capital allocation and building and maintaining investor trust. In doing so, we have incorporated new technology enablers, like artificial intelligence and machine learning and are building new capabilities to drive accelerated innovation, greater commercial success and more recurring customer value. FBS is a critical component of how we achieve sustained success over time.

Fortive Accelerated

Following the Separation on June 28, 2025, we embarked on our journey as the new Fortive - guided by our Fortive Accelerated strategy to drive profitable organic growth, allocate capital with discipline, and build investor trust. Early results are encouraging: in the second half of 2025 we delivered accelerating growth and strong financial results, while investing in initiatives that support our multi-year financial framework. We also deployed capital strategically, including $1.3 billion for share repurchases in the second half of 2025. And in keeping with our commitment to investor trust, we are pleased to have exceeded expectations in our first two fiscal quarters as the new Fortive.

PROPOSAL 3: Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (page 98) >

After careful consideration of the independence and performance of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee believes that the continued retention of Ernst & Young LLP to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Consequently, the Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2026.

The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote "FOR" the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026.



PROPOSAL 1:

Election of Directors

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will be asked to elect Daniel L. Comas, Sharmistha Dubey, Rejji P. Hayes, Wright L. Lassiter III, Kate D. Mitchell, Gregory J. Moore, Jeannine Sargent, and Olumide Soroye (each of whom has been recommended by the Nominating and Governance Committee, has been nominated by the Board and currently serves as a director of Fortive) to serve a one-year term until the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until his or her respective successor is duly elected and qualified.

Eric Branderiz will not stand for re-election and will retire from our Board as of the 2026 Annual Meeting. Although, as of the date of this Proxy Statement, the number of directors is fixed at nine, the Board has adopted a resolution that, effective as of the retirement of Mr. Branderiz at the 2026 Annual Meeting, the size of the Board will be reduced to eight directors.

In the event a nominee declines or is unable to serve, the proxies may be voted at the discretion of the proxy holders for a substitute nominee designated by the Board, or the Board may reduce the number of directors to be elected. We know of no reason why this would occur.

The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote "FOR" the election of each of the Director Nominees to the Board.

      Corporate Governance Guidelines, Committee Charters and Code of Conduct

      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 its committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Board of Directors has also adopted our Code of Conduct that includes, among other things, 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 - Corporate Governance" section of our website at http://www.fortive.com.

      Board Leadership Structure

      The Board has separated the positions of Chair 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 shareholders.

      The entire Board selects its Chair, and our Board has selected Sharmistha Dubey, an independent director, as its Chair, in light of Ms. Dubey's independence and her deep experience and knowledge with CEO leadership, strategy, corporate governance, public board management, risk management, and Fortive's various businesses and industries.

      As the independent Chair of the Board, Ms. Dubey leads the activities of the Board, including:

    • Calling, and presiding over, all meetings of the Board;

    • Together with the CEO and the Corporate Secretary, setting the agenda for the Board;

    • Calling, and presiding over, the executive sessions 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 Chair 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 over all meetings of the Board at which the Chair 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

    • Advise with respect to the Board's agenda.

The Board's non-management directors meet in executive session following the Board's regularly scheduled meetings, with the executive sessions chaired by the independent Chair. In addition, the independent directors meet as a group in executive session at least once a year.

Strategy Oversight

At every Board meeting, the Board conducts a detailed review of the development and execution of our Fortive Accelerated Strategy, which is centered around the goals of Faster Profitable Organic Growth, Disciplined Capital Allocation, and Build and Maintain Investor Trust. This review includes business and operational updates for the Company and each segment, presented by executive officers and senior business leaders. In addition, the Board holds an annual full-day working session with executive officers and senior leaders to review and align on the Company's goals and priorities. At the enterprise level, these sessions cover capital allocation, financial performance, investor relations, and Fortive Business System strategies. At the segment level, they cover growth and innovation, new product development, human capital management, technology and artificial intelligence, and financial goals. During these sessions, the Board engages with our executive leadership team, senior business leaders, and outside advisers on business objectives, the competitive landscape, and economic and market trends.

Additional Information

Under the terms of its charter, the Compensation Committee has the authority to engage the services of outside advisors and experts to assist the Compensation Committee. Following the assessment and determination of Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC's ("Pearl Meyer") independence from Fortive's management, the Compensation Committee engaged Pearl Meyer as the Compensation Committee's independent compensation consultant for 2025. The Compensation Committee had the sole discretion and authority to select, retain and terminate Pearl Meyer as well as to approve any fees, terms and other conditions of its services. Pearl Meyer reported directly to the Compensation Committee and took its direction solely from the Compensation Committee. Pearl Meyer's primary responsibilities in 2025 were to provide advice and data in connection with the selection of Fortive's peer group for assessing executive compensation, the structuring of the executive compensation programs in 2025 and 2026, the compensation levels for our executive officers, including in connection with the separation of the Precision Technologies segment and CEO transition, and the compensation levels for our directors; assess our executive compensation program in the context of market practices and corporate governance best practices; and advise the Compensation Committee regarding our proposed executive compensation public disclosures. In the course of discharging its responsibilities, the Compensation Committee's independent compensation consultant may, from time to time and with the Compensation Committee's consent, request from management certain information regarding compensation amounts and practices, the interrelationship between our business objectives and executive compensation matters, the nature of our executive officer responsibilities and other business information. Pearl Meyer did not provide any services to Fortive or its management in 2025, and the Compensation Committee is not aware of any work performed by Pearl Meyer that raises any conflicts of interest.
