Item 8.01. Other Events.

On May 12, 2021, the Board of Directors of Bruker Corporation (the "Company") approved a share repurchase authorization authorizing the purchase of up to $500 million of the Company's common stock over a two-year period commencing May 13, 2021.

Under the share repurchase authorization, the Company may repurchase its common stock from time to time, in amounts, at prices, and at such times as the Company deems appropriate, subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other considerations. The Company's repurchases may be executed using open market purchases, privately negotiated purchases or other transactions, including transactions that may be effected pursuant to trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, during the period from May 13, 2021 to May 12, 2023. The Company intends to fund repurchases under the share repurchase program from cash on hand and available borrowings under its existing credit facility. The share repurchase authorization does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be suspended, modified or terminated at any time without prior notice.

A copy of the Company's press release announcing approval of the $500 million share repurchase authorization and the quarterly dividend payment is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
