Check the appropriate box to indicate the rule pursuant to which this form is being filed, and provide the period to which the information in this form applies:

X Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act (17 CFR 240.13p-1) for the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2019.







Item 1.01. 
Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report for the Year Ended December 31, 2019
Brunswick Corporation (Brunswick) determined that tin, tantalum, tungsten and/or gold (Conflict Minerals) were necessary for the production or functionality of products we manufactured or contracted for manufacture during the year ended December 31, 2019, and we are therefore required to report under Section 1502 (b) of the Dodd-Frank Act and SEC Rule 13p-1, Item 1.01(b). Accordingly, we conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (RCOI) regarding the applicable Conflict Minerals to assess whether they originated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country that shares an internationally recognized border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the Conflict Region). We have reason to believe that certain of our necessary Conflict Minerals originated, or may have originated, in the Conflict Region and are not from recycled or scrap sources. These Conflict Minerals were the subject of our due diligence efforts as described in the attached Conflict Minerals Report.
