Brunswick Corporation Announces Completion of 4.625% Senior Notes Offering and Election to Redeem Remaining 11.250% Senior Secured Notes Due 2016

Company Anticipates Greater Net Interest Expense Savings in 2013

LAKE FOREST, Il., May 13, 2013 - Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC) announced today that it has completed its previously announced private offering of $150 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% Senior Notes due 2021, and that it will redeem its remaining $250 million aggregate principal amount of 11.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2016 on June 12, 2013.

As a result of these financing activities, the Company's current estimate for its full-year, 2013 net interest expense, excluding debt extinguishment losses, will be approximately $43 million to $45 million. The Company's previous estimate for net interest expense was in the range of $48 million to $52 million.

In addition, the Company estimates that its full-year, 2013 debt extinguishment losses will be approximately $33 million. The Company's previous estimate for such losses was in the range of $25 million to $30 million.

“These financing activities substantially complete our multi-year debt reduction plan, although we may continue to opportunistically repurchase additional debt,” said Brunswick Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dustan E. McCoy. “As a result of the successful execution of our operational and financial strategies, we have made outstanding progress towards strengthening our overall capital structure and significantly reducing our net interest expense.”
