EVERETT, WA, May 14, 2020 — Fortive Corporation (“Fortive”) (NYSE: FTV) announced today that, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the corresponding public health and travel concerns of its shareholders, directors, officers, employees and service providers, Fortive has changed the location of its 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to a virtual only meeting format.
