Bruker Corporation (the “Company”) is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 (“Fiscal 2017”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense because, in connection with the audit of its financial statements included in the Form 10-K, the Company is in the process of analyzing the timing of certain sales transactions within a division in 2014, 2015 and 2016. Aggregate revenues of this division represent less than 10% of the Company’s annual revenues in each of those years. Based on the information currently available, the Company does not expect the completion of the review of this information to result in a material change to the Company’s previously announced Fiscal 2017 financial results, as furnished on the Form 8-K filed by the Company on February 8, 2018.  The Company expects to file the Form 10-K no later than the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date, as permitted by Rule 12b-25.

 

This notice contains certain forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and information relating to the Company that are based on the beliefs of the management of the Company. These forward looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the risk that the review described above results in further delays or uncovers matters that would require adjustments to the Company’s previously reported financial results. Should one of these risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results or outcomes may vary materially from those described as anticipated, believed, or expected.
