is filing this registration statement on Form S-8 (this &ldquo;Registration Statement&rdquo;) to register up to 2,113,555
shares of its common stock, par value $0.50 per share (&ldquo;Emerson Common Stock&rdquo;), issuable pursuant to outstanding and unvested
awards of restricted stock units and performance stock units granted under the National Instruments Corporation 2022 Equity Incentive
Plan (the &ldquo;2022 NIC Plan&rdquo;), the National Instruments Corporation 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the &ldquo;2020 NIC Plan&rdquo;)
and the National Instruments Corporation 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the &ldquo;2015 NIC Plan&rdquo; and, collectively with the 2022 NIC
Plan and the 2020 NIC Plan, the &ldquo;NIC Plans&rdquo;), which awards were assumed by the Registrant in connection with completion of
the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the &ldquo;Merger Agreement&rdquo;), dated April 12, 2023, by and among
Emerson, Emersub CXIV, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Emerson (&ldquo;Merger Sub&rdquo;), and National
Instrument Corporation, a Delaware corporation (&ldquo;NIC&rdquo; and, such merger, the &ldquo;Merger&rdquo;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective
time of the Merger (the &ldquo;Effective Time&rdquo;), each award of restricted stock units and performance stock units granted under
any of the NIC Plans that was outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (&ldquo;NIC Awards&rdquo;) was assumed
by Emerson and converted into an award of time-based restricted stock units with respect to Emerson Common Stock (&ldquo;Emerson Awards&rdquo;),
subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting schedule) that applied to the corresponding NIC Awards immediately prior to
the Effective Time. The number of shares of Emerson Common Stock subject to each such Emerson Award equals the target number of shares
of NIC common stock subject to the corresponding NIC Award immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the exchange ratio (as
defined below). The &ldquo;exchange ratio&rdquo; is equal to 0.63146, which equals the
quotient obtained by dividing (i) the merger consideration by (ii) the volume-weighted average closing price per share of Emerson Common
Stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day preceding the closing
date.</P>

such person against expenses, including attorneys&rsquo; fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the action,

is one for which the corporation may indemnify him or her under Section 351.355(1) or (2). Section 351.355(7) provides that a corporation
shall have the power to give any further indemnity to any such person, in addition to the indemnity otherwise authorized under Section
351.355, provided such further indemnity is either (i) authorized, directed or provided for in the articles of incorporation of the corporation

directors of the Registrant and adopted amendments to the Bylaws of the Registrant which incorporate indemnity provisions permitted by
Section 351.355(7) described above. The agreements and amended Bylaws provide that the Registrant will indemnify its directors, officers
and employees against all expenses (including attorneys&rsquo; fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts, actually and reasonably
paid or incurred in any action or proceeding, including any action on behalf of the Registrant, on account of their service as a director,
officer or employee of the Registrant, any subsidiary of the Registrant or any other company or enterprise when they are serving in such
capacities at the request of the Registrant, excepting only cases where (i) the conduct of such person is adjudged to be knowingly fraudulent,
deliberately dishonest or willful misconduct, (ii) a final court adjudication shall determine that such indemnification is not lawful,
(iii) judgment is rendered against such person for an accounting of profits made from a purchase or sale of securities of the Registrant
in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or of any similar statutory law, (iv) any remuneration paid to such person is adjudicated
to have been paid in violation of law or (v) the action is brought by the Registrant, except where it is brought in the right of the Registrant
or in connection with an acquisition of the Registrant in a transaction not approved by the Board of Directors by a majority of its continuing
directors, which for this purpose means those directors holding office prior to the time of such acquisition or any successors who were
approved as successors by the directors holding office prior to the time of such acquisition. Such person shall be indemnified only to
the extent that the aggregate of losses to be indemnified exceeds the amount of such losses for which the director or officer is insured
pursuant to any directors&rsquo; or officers&rsquo; liability insurance policy maintained by the Registrant. The amended Bylaws also provide
that the Registrant may advance expenses incurred by an employee or agent, and shall pay expenses incurred by a director or officer, in
advance of the final disposition of any action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of any such person to
repay such amounts unless it is ultimately determined that any such person is entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant.</P>

EXPLANATORY NOTE
Emerson Electric Co. ("Emerson" or the "Registrant"),
is filing this registration statement on Form S-8 (this "Registration Statement") to register up to 2,113,555
shares of its common stock, par value $0.50 per share ("Emerson Common Stock"), issuable pursuant to outstanding and unvested
awards of restricted stock units and performance stock units granted under the National Instruments Corporation 2022 Equity Incentive
Plan (the "2022 NIC Plan"), the National Instruments Corporation 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2020 NIC Plan")
and the National Instruments Corporation 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2015 NIC Plan" and, collectively with the 2022 NIC
Plan and the 2020 NIC Plan, the "NIC Plans"), which awards were assumed by the Registrant in connection with completion of
the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated April 12, 2023, by and among
Emerson, Emersub CXIV, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Emerson ("Merger Sub"), and National
Instrument Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("NIC" and, such merger, the "Merger").
In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective
time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each award of restricted stock units and performance stock units granted under
any of the NIC Plans that was outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time ("NIC Awards") was assumed
by Emerson and converted into an award of time-based restricted stock units with respect to Emerson Common Stock ("Emerson Awards"),
subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting schedule) that applied to the corresponding NIC Awards immediately prior to
the Effective Time. The number of shares of Emerson Common Stock subject to each such Emerson Award equals the target number of shares
of NIC common stock subject to the corresponding NIC Award immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the exchange ratio (as
defined below). The "exchange ratio" is equal to 0.63146, which equals the
quotient obtained by dividing (i) the merger consideration by (ii) the volume-weighted average closing price per share of Emerson Common
Stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day preceding the closing
date.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the complete text of Sections 351.355 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri and the Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, as amended,
of the Registrant.
The Registrant is a Missouri corporation. Section 351.355(1) of the
Revised Statutes of Missouri provides that a corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation in any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action
by or in the right of the corporation, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts actually
and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner
he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 351.355(2) provides that the corporation may indemnify any
such person in any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation against expenses, including attorneys'
fees and settlement amounts actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of the action
or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation, except that he or she may not be indemnified in respect of any claim, issue or matter in which he or she has been adjudged
liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the corporation, unless, and only to the extent, authorized
by the court.
Section 351.355(3) provides that a corporation shall indemnify any
such person against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the action,
suit or proceeding if he or she has been successful in defense of such action, suit or proceeding and if such action, suit or proceeding
is one for which the corporation may indemnify him or her under Section 351.355(1) or (2). Section 351.355(7) provides that a corporation
shall have the power to give any further indemnity to any such person, in addition to the indemnity otherwise authorized under Section
351.355, provided such further indemnity is either (i) authorized, directed or provided for in the articles of incorporation of the corporation
or any duly adopted amendment thereof or (ii) is authorized, directed or provided for in any bylaw or agreement of the corporation which
has been adopted by a vote of the shareholders of the corporation, provided that no such indemnity shall indemnify any person from or
on account of such person's conduct which was finally adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or willful
misconduct.
The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with the
directors of the Registrant and adopted amendments to the Bylaws of the Registrant which incorporate indemnity provisions permitted by
Section 351.355(7) described above. The agreements and amended Bylaws provide that the Registrant will indemnify its directors, officers
and employees against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts, actually and reasonably
paid or incurred in any action or proceeding, including any action on behalf of the Registrant, on account of their service as a director,
officer or employee of the Registrant, any subsidiary of the Registrant or any other company or enterprise when they are serving in such
capacities at the request of the Registrant, excepting only cases where (i) the conduct of such person is adjudged to be knowingly fraudulent,
deliberately dishonest or willful misconduct, (ii) a final court adjudication shall determine that such indemnification is not lawful,
(iii) judgment is rendered against such person for an accounting of profits made from a purchase or sale of securities of the Registrant
in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or of any similar statutory law, (iv) any remuneration paid to such person is adjudicated
to have been paid in violation of law or (v) the action is brought by the Registrant, except where it is brought in the right of the Registrant
or in connection with an acquisition of the Registrant in a transaction not approved by the Board of Directors by a majority of its continuing
directors, which for this purpose means those directors holding office prior to the time of such acquisition or any successors who were
approved as successors by the directors holding office prior to the time of such acquisition. Such person shall be indemnified only to
the extent that the aggregate of losses to be indemnified exceeds the amount of such losses for which the director or officer is insured
pursuant to any directors' or officers' liability insurance policy maintained by the Registrant. The amended Bylaws also provide
that the Registrant may advance expenses incurred by an employee or agent, and shall pay expenses incurred by a director or officer, in
advance of the final disposition of any action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of any such person to
repay such amounts unless it is ultimately determined that any such person is entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant.
Article 10 of the Registrant's Restated Articles of Incorporation
provides that the liability of the Registrant's directors to the Registrant or any of its shareholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permitted under the Missouri General and Business Corporation
Law. Any repeal or modification of Article 10 by the Registrant's shareholders shall not adversely affect any right or protection
of a director of the Registrant existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior
to such repeal or modification.
The Registrant maintains directors' and officers' liability
insurance.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a) The Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required
by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts
or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed
that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table
in the effective Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information
with respect to the Plan not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration
Statement;
provided
,
however
, that the undertakings set forth in
paragraphs (a)(1)(i)and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs
is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act, that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof;
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes
that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant
to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof;
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
