Let f be a transcendental meromorphic function of infinite order on ℂ, let k ∈ ℕ and $φ = Re^P$, where R ≢ 0 is a rational function and P is a polynomial, and let $a₀, a₁,...,a_{k-1}$ be holomorphic functions on ℂ. If all zeros of f have multiplicity at least k except possibly finitely many, and $f = 0 ⇔ f^{(k)} + a_{k-1}f^{(k-1)} + ⋯ + a₀f = 0$, then $f^{(k)} + a_{k-1}f^{(k-1)} + ⋯ + a₀f - φ$ has infinitely many zeros.
