Masimo Corporation's stockholders have approved the proposed merger with Danaher Corporation, a critical step towards the acquisition. This vote, held on May 1, 2026, confirms the $180.00 cash per share consideration for Masimo shareholders. The approval comes despite recent stockholder lawsuits seeking to enjoin the merger, indicating a strong mandate from investors. The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in 2026. This development significantly de-risks the merger process and provides a clear path to the acquisition for shareholders, with the stock currently trading near its 52-week high and the offer price slightly above it.
