Explanatory Note
On November 1, 2018, Teleflex Incorporated (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the third quarter of 2018 (the "Third Quarter Earnings Release"). The Company also filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original 8-K”) that, among other things, was intended to furnish a copy of the Third Quarter Earnings Release as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original 8-K. However, due to a clerical error, a copy of the press release previously issued by the Company to announce its financial results for the second quarter of 2018 was inadvertently furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original 8-K. The Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K/A ("Amendment No. 1") to correctly furnish, as Exhibit 99.1, the Third Quarter Earnings Release, which is the same document as was made publicly available via the Company’s wire service and posted to the Company’s website at approximately 6:30 a.m. on November 1, 2018.
Except as set forth herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not amend or update any other information set forth in the Original 8-K.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
(d) Exhibits.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
