On May11, 2017, the Board of Directors of Bruker Corporation (the
Company) approved a share repurchase program authorizing the
purchase of up to $225 million of the Companys common stock over
a two-year period commencing May12, 2017 and declared a quarterly
cash dividend in the amount of $0.04 per share on the Companys
common stock. The dividend will be paid on June23, 2017 to
stockholders of record as of June5, 2017.

Under the share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase
its common stock from time to time, in amounts, at prices, and at
such times as the Company deems appropriate, subject to market
conditions, legal requirements and other considerations. The
Companys repurchases may be executed using open market purchases,
privately negotiated purchases or other transactions during the

fund repurchases under the share repurchase program from cash on
hand and available borrowings under its existing credit facility.
The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to
repurchase any specific number of shares and may be suspended,
modified or terminated at any time without prior notice.

A copy of the Companys press release announcing approval of the
$225 million share repurchase program and the quarterly dividend
payment is attached as Exhibit99.1 to this Current Report on
