The company indicated that it fixed August 15 as the redemption date for the notes. The company plans to fund the redemptions
with the help of a part of the cash proceeds it received from Fortive Corp (previously traded (NYSE: FTV)) in
respect of the spinoff of Fortive in July.
The stock traded flat at $80.91 on Friday at time of writing.
