Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K, filed on February 22, 2019, reports on Colfax Corporation (not Enovis Corp, which is a later entity name). The filing details the completion of a major acquisition and a concurrent debt issuance on February 22, 2019.
Key Financial Metrics and Transactions
- Acquisition: Colfax completed the purchase of DJO Global, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3.15 billion.

Material Changes
