CFX Escrow Corporation in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A and to certain persons outside the United States under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities
Act&#148;), subject to market and other conditions. In connection with the proposed offering, the Company disclosed certain information included in Exhibit 99.1 to prospective investors. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the offering to
fund a portion of the purchase price of the previously-announced acquisition of DJO Global, Inc. (&#147;DJO&#148;), and will assume all obligations under the Notes upon closing thereof. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition to other information, Exhibit 99.1 sets forth management&#146;s current estimates of certain preliminary results for the quarter, and the year,
ended December&nbsp;31, 2018. The preliminary results included in Exhibit 99.1 represent only preliminary performance estimates based on information available as of the date hereof. The Company&#146;s actual results may differ materially from these
estimates due to developments that may arise between now and the time the financial results for the Company&#146;s quarter, and the year, ended December&nbsp;31, 2018 are finalized and published. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on
this information. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, Exhibit 99.1 presents pro forma financial information giving effect to the previously announced acquisition of DJO and
related financing transactions. This pro forma financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the operating results actually would have been had the acquisition been completed on the date
indicated. The pro forma information does not purport to project the future operating results of the Company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except as specifically set forth therein,
the financial information set forth in Exhibit 99.1 has not been updated to reflect any financial results, events or developments since September&nbsp;28, 2018. The Company undertakes no duty or obligation to publicly update or revise this
information. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This current report does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes nor shall there be any offer,

sold in the United States absent registration or pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. </P>

Item 7.01
Regulation FD Disclosure
Colfax Corporation (the "Company") on January 28, 2019 announced the launch of a proposed offering of senior notes (the "Notes") by
CFX Escrow Corporation in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A and to certain persons outside the United States under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), subject to market and other conditions. In connection with the proposed offering, the Company disclosed certain information included in Exhibit 99.1 to prospective investors. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the offering to
fund a portion of the purchase price of the previously-announced acquisition of DJO Global, Inc. ("DJO"), and will assume all obligations under the Notes upon closing thereof.
In addition to other information, Exhibit 99.1 sets forth management's current estimates of certain preliminary results for the quarter, and the year,
ended December 31, 2018. The preliminary results included in Exhibit 99.1 represent only preliminary performance estimates based on information available as of the date hereof. The Company's actual results may differ materially from these
estimates due to developments that may arise between now and the time the financial results for the Company's quarter, and the year, ended December 31, 2018 are finalized and published. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on
this information.
In addition, Exhibit 99.1 presents pro forma financial information giving effect to the previously announced acquisition of DJO and
related financing transactions. This pro forma financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the operating results actually would have been had the acquisition been completed on the date
indicated. The pro forma information does not purport to project the future operating results of the Company.
Except as specifically set forth therein,
the financial information set forth in Exhibit 99.1 has not been updated to reflect any financial results, events or developments since September 28, 2018. The Company undertakes no duty or obligation to publicly update or revise this
information.
This current report does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes nor shall there be any offer,
solicitation or sale of the Notes in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws, and may not be offered or
sold in the United States absent registration or pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
