Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     On October 15, 2007, Danaher Corporation (“Danaher”) announced that it had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 14, 2007 (the “Merger Agreement”) with Raven Acquisition Corp., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Purchaser”) and Tektronix, Inc. (“Tektronix”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser commenced a cash tender offer to acquire all of Tektronix’s outstanding shares of common stock, without par value, including the associated preferred shares purchase rights (the “Rights”) (which Rights, together with the outstanding shares of Tektronix’s common stock, are hereinafter referred to as the “Shares”) at a price per Share of $38.00 net to the seller in cash without interest upon the terms and subject to the conditions disclosed in the Offer to Purchase included in the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO and in the related Letter of Transmittal (each as amended and supplemented from time to time) filed by Danaher and the Purchaser with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 18, 2007 (the “Offer”).

     The Offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on November 15, 2007. Danaher and the Purchaser elected to provide a subsequent offering period pursuant to Rule 14d-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the remaining Shares, which period expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on November 20, 2007. Based upon information provided by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary for the Offer, an aggregate of approximately 69,094,604 Shares (excluding Shares that had previously been tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures but were not actually delivered) were validly tendered into, and not withdrawn from, the Offer and subsequent offering period, representing over 90% of the outstanding Shares. Purchaser has accepted for payment all such validly tendered and not withdrawn Shares and is promptly making payment for such Shares in accordance with the terms of the Offer and applicable law.

     Following the Purchaser’s acquisition of over 90% of the Shares, the Purchaser merged with and into Tektronix on November 21, 2007, with Tektronix surviving as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Danaher. The Merger was implemented on an expedited basis pursuant to the short-form merger procedure available under Oregon law. On that date, the Shares ceased to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange. In the Merger, each Share was cancelled and (other than Shares held by Danaher or the Purchaser and certain other restricted shares) converted into the right to receive $38.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash without interest.

     Danaher funded the acquisition of Tektronix through the issuance of commercial paper and from available cash (including proceeds from the issuance of Danaher common stock as reported in Danaher’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 2, 2007). Tektronix is a leading supplier of test, measurement, and monitoring products, solutions and services for the communications, computer, consumer electronics, and education industries – as well as military/aerospace, semiconductor, and a broad range of other industries worldwide. Headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon, Tektronix has operations in 19 countries worldwide.
