This Registration Statement registers 3,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per
share (the "Common Stock") of IDEX Corporation (the "Company") pursuant to the IDEX
Corporation Incentive Award Plan (As Amended and Restated) (the "Plan"). In addition,
pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this Registration Statement also covers any additional shares of the Company's
Common Stock that may become issuable under the Plan by reason of any substitutions or
adjustments to shares to account for any change in corporate capitalization, such as a merger,
consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, separation, partial or complete liquidation,
stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split up, spin-off, or other distribution of
stock or property of the Company, combination or exchange of shares of Common Stock, dividend
in kind, or other like change in capital structure.
(2)
Pursuant to Rule 457(h) of the Securities Act, the Proposed Maximum Offering Price is
estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee and is based on the
average of the high and low market prices for the Common Stock reported on the New York Stock
Exchange (the "NYSE") on May 19, 2010 ($31.84).
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement registers 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company pursuant
to the Plan, which shares are in addition to the 3,650,000 shares of Common Stock which were
registered under the Plan on a registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-150142) filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on April 8, 2008 (the "2008 Form S-8")
and the 2,300,000 shares of Common Stock which were registered under the Plan on a registration
statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-123558) filed with the Commission on March 24, 2005 (the "2005
Form S-8", and together with the 2008 Form S-8, the "Prior Form S-8s"). This Registration
Statement relates to securities of the same class as that to which the Prior Form S-8s relate and
is submitted in accordance with General Instruction E of Form S-8 regarding registration of
additional securities. Pursuant to General Instruction E of Form S-8, the contents of the Prior
Form S-8s are incorporated into this Registration Statement by reference, except as otherwise
provided herein. Pursuant to a three-for-two stock split of the Company's Common Stock effected in
May 2007 and in accordance with footnote no. 1 to the 2005 Form S-8, the number of registered
shares under the 2005 Form S-8 was increased to 3,450,000 shares of Common Stock. The total number
of shares of Common Stock registered under this Registration Statement and under the Prior Form
S-8s equals 10,600,000 shares.
