Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal


           Year.

On November 3, 2022, the board of directors of Fortive Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), adopted the Company's amended and restated bylaws (the "Amended Bylaws"), effective as of such date, in connection with the universal proxy rules adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Amended Bylaws reflect amendments to (i) require a stockholder (the "Proposing Stockholder") submitting a director nominee ("Stockholder Nominee") at a stockholder meeting to comply with Rule 14a-19 (universal proxy rule) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including the requirement to solicit proxies from at least 67% of the voting power required to approve the election of the Stockholder Nominee, (ii) require the Stockholder Nominee to agree not to enter into any voting or similar agreement either as a director or as a stockholder of the Company other than as disclosed to the Company, (iii) require the Stockholder Nominee to enter into such agreements, provide completed questionnaires, and provide information, in each case, as required by the Company from all directors of the Company, (iv) update and supplement such required notices, including evidence that the Proposing Stockholder has solicited proxies from at least 67% of the voting power of shares entitled to vote on the election of directors and (v) allow the Company to disregard the nomination of such Stockholder Nominee at the corresponding stockholder meeting if the Proposing Stockholder or Stockholder Nominee fails to comply with such requirements set forth in the Amended Bylaws, including the requirements to comply with Rule 14a-19. In addition, the Amended Bylaws were amended to make various ministerial and conforming changes, including the deletion of a provision relating to a transition period that had previously expired.

The above descriptions of the Amended Bylaws are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Amended Bylaws filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
