Offer restrictions

The public tender offer ("Tender Offer" or "Offer") will not be made, directly or indirectly, in any country or jurisdiction in which such Offer would be considered unlawful or otherwise violate any applicable laws or regulations, or which would require Danaher Corporation or any of its affiliates to change or amend the terms or conditions of the Offer in any way, to make any additional filing with any governmental or regulatory authority or take any additional action in relation to the Offer. It is not intended to extend the Offer to any such country or jurisdiction. Documents relating to the Offer must neither be distributed in any such country or jurisdiction nor be sent into such country or jurisdiction. Any such documents must not be used for the purpose of soliciting the purchase of any securities of Nobel Biocare by any person or entity resident or incorporated in any such country or jurisdiction.

Notice to U.S. Holders

The Offer is being made for the registered shares of Nobel Biocare, a Swiss company, and is subject to Swiss disclosure requirements, which are different from those of the United States (U.S.). U.S. holders of Nobel Biocare shares are encouraged to consult with their own Swiss advisors in connection with the Offer.

The receipt of cash pursuant to the Offer by a U.S. holder of Nobel Biocare shares may be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes and under applicable U.S. state and local, as well as foreign and other tax laws. Each shareholder of Nobel Biocare is urged to consult his independent professional advisor immediately regarding the tax consequences of acceptance of the Offer.

According to the laws of Switzerland, Nobel Biocare shares tendered into the Offer may generally not be withdrawn after they are tendered except under certain circumstances, in particular in case a competing offer for the Nobel Biocare shares is launched.

It may be difficult for U.S. holders to enforce their rights and any claim arising out of U.S. federal securities laws, since Nobel Biocare is located in a non-U.S. jurisdiction, and some or all of its or Danaher's officers or directors may be residents of a non-U.S. jurisdiction. U.S. holders may not be able to sue a non-U.S. company or its officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of the U.S. securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-U.S. company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court's judgment.

In accordance with the laws of Switzerland and subject to applicable regulatory requirements, Danaher, its subsidiaries or any of its or their nominees or brokers (acting as agents) may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, Nobel Biocare shares outside the U.S., other than pursuant to the Offer. These purchases, or arrangements to purchase, may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices and shall comply with applicable laws and regulations in Switzerland and applicable U.S. securities laws. Any information about such purchases or arrangements to purchase will be publicly disclosed in the U.S. on Danaher's website to the extent that such information is made public in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations of Switzerland.
