The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by us
or on our behalf. Certain statements contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, the
information incorporated herein by reference, and other written and oral statements made from time to time by us or on
our behalf are based on current projections about operations, industry conditions, financial condition, and liquidity, may
not relate strictly to historical or current facts and may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our current views
with respect to future events and financial performance. As such, they are considered "forward-looking statements"
which provide current expectations or forecasts of future events. Such statements can be identified by the use of
terminology such as "may," "could," "wil ," "should," "possible," "plan," "predict," "forecast," "potential," "anticipate,"
"estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "believe," "may impact," "on track," and similar words or expressions. Our
forward-looking statements general y relate to our growth strategies, financial results, product development, and sales

Forward-looking statements in this document or in the information incorporated herein by reference may include, but are
not limited to, statements regarding expected earnings per share, cash flow, productivity and material and oil-related
prices. Many risks, contingencies and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-
looking statements. Among these factors are: (1) intense competition in the home appliance industry reflecting the
impact of both new and established global competitors, including Asian and European manufacturers; (2) our ability to
continue our relationship with significant trade customers and the ability of these trade customers to maintain or increase
market share; (3) risks associated with acquisitions and other investments; (4) changes in economic conditions which
affect demand for our products, including the strength of the building industry and the level of interest rates; (5) product
liability and product recall costs; (6) inventory and other asset risk; (7) risks related to our international operations,
including changes in foreign regulations, regulatory compliance and disruptions arising from natural disasters or terrorist
attacks; (8) the uncertain global economy; (9) our ability to achieve our business plans, productivity improvements, cost
control, price increases, leveraging of our global operating platform, and acceleration of the rate of innovation; (10) our
ability to maintain our reputation and brand image; (11) fluctuations in the cost of key materials (including steel, plastic,
resins, copper and aluminum) and components and our ability to offset cost increases; (12) litigation, tax, and legal
compliance risk and costs, especial y costs which may be materially different from the amount we expect to incur or
have accrued for; (13) the effects and costs of governmental investigations or related actions by third parties; (14) our
ability to obtain and protect intel ectual property rights; (15) the ability of suppliers of critical parts, components and
manufacturing equipment to deliver sufficient quantities to us in a timely and cost-effective manner; (16) health care cost
trends, regulatory changes and variations between results and estimates that could increase future funding obligations
for pension and post-retirement benefit plans; (17) information technology system failures and data security breaches;
(18) the impact of labor relations; (19) our ability to attract, develop and retain executives and other qualified employees;
(20) changes in the legal and regulatory environment including environmental and health and safety regulations; and
(21) our ability to manage foreign currency fluctuations.
