Report of Independent

Public Accounting Firm
The Benefits
Administration Committee
Brunswick Corporation
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Brunswick Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plans internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plans internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2004, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Brunswick Retirement Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
Year Ended December 31, 2004
1. Description of the Plan
General
The following description of the Brunswick Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plans provisions.
The Plan, established by Brunswick Corporation (the Company) effective January 1, 1986, is a defined-contribution plan subject to the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Any related company, as defined in the Plan, may, with the Companys consent, adopt the Plan. The Plan is administered by the Benefits Administration Committee consisting of at least three members appointed for indefinite terms by the Companys Board of Directors. The Vanguard Group, Inc. (the Trustee) is the trustee of the Plan under a trust agreement with the Company.
Participation
Eligible employees of the Company and certain subsidiaries may participate in the Plan. Eligible salaried and hourly employees who are not eligible to participate in the Brunswick Rewards Plan or the Brunswick Rewards Plan with Variable Profit Sharing are eligible to participate in the Plan on the date on which the following requirements are met: (a) attainment of age 21 years, and (b) employed by the Company or a related company to which the Plan has been extended. Eligible employees include all employee groups as outlined in the Plan document.
Effective January 1, 2004, an individual working at least 24 hours per week is eligible for the savings portion of the Plan on the first day of the month coinciding with or following his or her 60th day of employment. An individual working less than 24 hours per week is eligible for the savings portion of the Plan on the first day of the month coinciding with or following one year (365 days) of service.
Participant Accounts
Each participants account is credited with the participants contributions and allocations of: (a) the Companys contributions, and (b) Plan earnings (losses), and is charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined in the Plan. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participants account balances.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Administrative Expenses
Investment management fees, agent fees, recordkeeping fees, and brokerage commissions are paid by the Plan participants. The Company does not charge the Plan for any internal administrative services performed on behalf of the Plan. In 2003, fees associated with setting up the pass-through dividend feature were paid by the Company.
Contributions
Participants may make pretax contributions from 1% to 20% of compensation, as defined in the Plan. Contributions are made via payroll deductions and are remitted to the Plans Trustee on the earliest date on which funds can be segregated from the Companys funds. Participant pretax contributions were limited to $13,000 and $12,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Prior to January 1, 2004, participants could also make after-tax contributions of 1%-6% of wages. Effective January 1, 2004, after-tax contributions are no longer permitted in the Plan.
The Companys basic matching contribution is 5% of pretax deferrals. Additional contributions are granted at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The first 6% of pretax contributions is eligible for discretionary matching contributions. Such contributions are limited to 25% of total pretax contributions that do not exceed 6% of compensation. Discretionary matching contributions for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, were 25%. Discretionary matching contributions for year ended December 31, 2004, were $2,445,949.
The Plan provides a true-up feature, which allows the Company to make up for any missed match that may have occurred. The true-up is performed during the first quarter of the following Plan year. It takes into account the maximum matching contribution that could have been received and makes up for any difference in comparison to the matching contributions that were actually made.
Participants may direct their own contributions and related Company contributions into any of the Plans fund options. Participants may change their elections and transfer balances between funds at anytime.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Vesting
Participants are fully vested in the balance of all of their accounts at all times.
Participant Loans
An active participant may borrow from his or her interest in the funds held by the Trustee. The minimum loan amount is $1,000. A participant is not permitted to have more than two loans outstanding at any one time. These loans bear interest, are secured by the participants accounts, and are payable over a period not to exceed five years unless the loan is for the purchase of a home, in which case the loan term may be up to 10 years. The interest rate on loans is fixed at the prime rate reported by Reuters at the initiation of the loan.
Benefits
Upon termination of employment, participants may elect account balances to be rolled into another qualified retirement vehicle or receive a lump-sum distribution. Terminated participants with balances exceeding $5,000 may elect to remain in the Plan and defer payment until age 65. Account balances less than $5,000 will be distributed as soon as administratively possible following termination of employment.
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements of the Plan have been prepared under the accrual basis of accounting.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
The Plans investments are stated at fair value. Shares of registered investment companies are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end.
The Brunswick Stock Fund is a fund composed principally of Brunswick stock and is valued at a daily unit closing price. Effective November 1, 2003, two funds were established that consist of Brunswick stock. One is the Brunswick Stock Fund where new money is invested for participants that elect a percentage of their contributions to be invested in Brunswick Company stock. Dividends received on shares held in the Brunswick Company Stock Fund are reinvested in the Plan. The other fund is the Brunswick Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) Fund. Once a year, on January 1, all shares in the Brunswick Stock Fund are automatically transferred to the Brunswick ESOP Fund. Additionally, any transfers that are made from another investment option in the Plan will be transferred to the Brunswick ESOP Fund. Dividends in the Brunswick ESOP Fund may be reinvested in the Plan or received as cash.
Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is accrued when earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Capital gain distributions are included in dividend income.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Payment of Benefits
Benefit payments are recorded when paid.

4. Income Tax Status
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated June 17, 2003, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to the issuance of the determination letter, the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.
5. Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the value of certain investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.
6. Transfers into the Plan
Effective August 31, 2004, the Brunswick Employee Stock Ownership Plan (BESOP) was terminated. The BESOP account balances of each participant in the Plan were transferred into the Plan and invested in the ESOP Fund. Related assets of approximately $74 million were transferred into the Plan.
Effective December 31, 2004, employees at the Crestliner, Lowe, and Lund facilities were granted eligibility in the Brunswick Rewards Plan with Variable Profit Sharing. Related assets of approximately $7 million were transferred to the Brunswick Rewards Plan with Variable Profit Sharing.
7. Subsequent Event
Effective March 28, 2005, the Plan was amended to change the small balance cash-out limit from $5,000 to $1,000. Terminated participants with balances exceeding $1,000 may elect to remain in the Plan and defer payment until age 65.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Benefits
Administration Committee of
Brunswick Corporation
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Brunswick Rewards Plan as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plans internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plans internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2004, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

The Plan, established by Brunswick Corporation (the Company) effective April 1, 1999, is a defined-contribution plan subject to the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Any related company, as defined in the Plan, may, with the Companys consent, adopt the Plan.

Employees working at least 24 hours per week are eligible to participate in both components of the Plan on the first day of the month following or coinciding with 60 days of employment. Employees working less than 24 hours per week are eligible to participate on the first day of the month following or coinciding with 12 months of employment.

The Plan has two basic components: the savings portion (including the employee deferral and Company matching contributions), in which participation is voluntary, and the profit-sharing portion, in which participation is automatic. To become a participant in the savings portion of the Plan, eligible employees must elect to have pretax contributions made to the Plan.
Participants may make pretax contributions from 1% to 20% of compensation, as defined in the Plan. Contributions are made via payroll deductions and are remitted to the Plans Trustee on the earliest date on which funds can be segregated from the Companys funds. Participant pretax contributions were limited to $13,000 and $12,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Subject to certain limitations, the Company makes a basic monthly matching contribution equal to 100% of the first 3% of participant contributions plus 50% of the next 2% of contributions.
In addition to matching contributions, eligible participants receive a biweekly basic profit-sharing contribution equal to 3% of eligible compensation. An employer may also make an annual variable profit-sharing contribution of up to 6% of eligible compensation to the accounts of participants employed by that employer. Profit-sharing contributions are invested in accordance with the participants investment elections. A participant must be employed with the Company on the last business day of the Plan year in order to be eligible for variable profit sharing. Effective December 31, 2002, the Company may also make supplemental profit-sharing contributions on behalf of designated participants. The sum of a participants basic, variable and supplemental profit-sharing contributions may not exceed 9% of compensation for the Plan year. Corporate officers of the Company not otherwise eligible to participate in the Plan shall be eligible to participate in supplemental profit-sharing contributions. Variable profit-sharing for the 2004 and 2003 Plan years was $13,953,199 and $9,042,019, respectively.

Brunswick Rewards Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
1. Description of the Plan (continued)
The Plan provides a true-up feature, which allows the Company to make up for any missed match that may have occurred. The true-up is performed during the first quarter of the following Plan year. It takes into account the maximum matching contribution that could have been received and makes up for any difference in comparison to the matching contributions that were actually made.
Participants may direct their own contributions and related Company contributions into any of the Plans fund options. Participants may change their elections and transfer balances between funds at any time.
Vesting
Participants are fully vested in the balance of all of their accounts at all times.
Participant Loans
An active participant may borrow from his or her fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of his or her account balance. A participant is not permitted to have more than two loans outstanding at any one time. These loans bear interest, are secured by the participants accounts, and payable over a period not to exceed five years unless the loan is for the purchase of a home, in which case the loan term may be for up to 10 years. The interest rate on loans is fixed at the prime rate reported by Reuters at the initiation of the loan.
Benefits
Upon termination of employment, participants may elect account balances to be rolled into another qualified retirement vehicle or receive a lump-sum distribution. Terminated participants with balances exceeding $5,000 may elect to remain in the Plan and defer payment until age 65. Account balances less than $5,000 will be distributed as soon as administratively possible following termination of employment.

Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements of the Plan have been prepared under the accrual basis of accounting.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
The Plans investments are stated at fair value. Shares of registered investment companies are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. Effective November 1, 2003, two funds were established that consist of Brunswick stock. One is the Brunswick Stock Fund where new money is invested for participants that elect a percentage of their contributions to be invested in Brunswick Company stock. Dividends received on shares held in the Brunswick Company Stock Fund are reinvested in the Plan. The other fund is the Brunswick Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) Fund. Once a year, on January 1, all shares in the Brunswick Stock Fund are automatically transferred to the Brunswick ESOP Fund. Additionally, any transfers that are made from another investment option in the Plan will be transferred to the Brunswick ESOP Fund. Dividends in the Brunswick ESOP Fund may be reinvested in the Plan or received as cash.
Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is accrued when earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Capital gain distributions are included in dividend income.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Payment of Benefits
Benefit payments are recorded when paid.
3. Investments
During 2004 and 2003, the Plans investments (including investments purchased, sold as well as held during the year) appreciated in fair value as determined by quoted market prices as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
4. Income Tax Status
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated June 27, 2002, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this issuance of the determination letter, the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.
5. Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the value of certain investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.
6. Transfers and Interplan Transfers
Effective January 1, 2003, the ParaBody, Inc. Employees Retirement 401(k) Plan merged into the Plan.
Effective December 31, 2003, participants of the Monolith division of the Company began participating in the Plan. These participants were previously participating in the Brunswick Retirement Savings Plan.
Effective August 31, 2004, the Brunswick Employee Stock Ownership Plan (BESOP) was terminated. The BESOP account balances of each participant in the Plan were transferred into the Plan and invested in the ESOP Fund. Related assets of approximately $44.6 million were transferred into the Plan.
7. Subsequent Event
Effective March 28, 2005, the Plan was amended to change the small balance cash-out limit from $5,000 to $1,000. Terminated participants with balances exceeding $1,000 may elect to remain in the Plan and defer payment until age 65.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Benefits
Administration Committee
Brunswick Corporation
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Brunswick Rewards Plan with Variable Profit Sharing as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2004, and for the period from October 1, 2003 (Plan inception) through December 31, 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plans internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plans internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2004, and the period from October 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2004, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Brunswick Rewards Plan with Variable Profit Sharing
Notes to Financial Statements
Year Ended December 31, 2004
1. Description of the Plan
The following description of the Brunswick Rewards Plan with Variable Profit Sharing (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plans provisions.
General
The Plan, established by Brunswick Corporation (the Company) effective October 1, 2003, is a defined-contribution plan subject to the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Any related company, as defined in the Plan, may, with the Companys consent, adopt the Plan. The Plan is administered by the Benefits Administration Committee consisting of at least three members appointed for indefinite terms by the Companys Board of Directors. The Vanguard Group, Inc. (the Trustee) is the trustee of the Plan under a trust agreement with the Company.
Participation
Eligible employees include all groups as outlined in the plan document.
Employees working at least 24 hours per week are eligible to participate in both components of the Plan on the first day of the month following or coinciding with 60 days of employment. Employees working less than 24 hours per week are eligible to participate on the first day of the month following or coinciding with 12 months of employment. Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan provided they are employed as members of a group of employees of an employer to which the Plan has been extended and are at least 18 years old. To become a participant in the savings portion of the Plan, an eligible employee must elect to have pretax contributions made to the Plan.
Participant Accounts
Each participants account is credited with the participants contributions and allocations of: (a) the Companys contributions, and (b) Plan earnings (losses), and is charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined in the Plan. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participants account.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Administrative Expenses
Investment management fees, agent fees, recordkeeping fees, and brokerage commissions are paid by the Plan participants. The Company does not charge the Plan for any internal administrative services performed on behalf of the Plan. In 2003, fees associated with setting up the pass-through dividend feature were paid by the Company.
Contributions
The Plan has two basic components: the savings portion (including the employee deferral and Company matching contribution), in which participation is voluntary, and the profit-sharing portion, in which participation is automatic. To become a participant in the savings portion of the Plan, an eligible employee must elect to have pretax contributions made to the Plan.
Participants may make pretax contributions from 1% to 20% of compensation, as defined in the Plan. Contributions are made via payroll deductions and are remitted to the Plans Trustee on the earliest date on which funds can be segregated from the Companys funds. Participant pretax contributions were limited to $13,000 and $12,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Subject to certain limitations, the Company makes a basic monthly matching contribution equal to 100% of the first 3% of participant contributions plus 50% of the next 2% of contributions.
An employer may make an annual variable profit-sharing contribution of up to 9% of eligible compensation to the accounts of participants employed by that employer. Profit-sharing contributions are invested in accordance with the participants investment elections. A participant must be employed with the Company on the last business day of the Plan year in order to be eligible for the variable profit-sharing. The Company may also make supplemental profit-sharing contributions on behalf of designated participants. The sum of a participants variable and supplemental profit-sharing contributions may not exceed 9% of compensation for a Plan year. Corporate officers of the Company not otherwise eligible to participate in the Plan shall be eligible to participate in supplemental profit-sharing contributions. Variable profit sharing for the 2004 plan year was $1,352,032.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)
The Plan also provides for a true-up feature, which allows the Company to make up for any missed match that may have occurred. The true-up is performed during the first quarter of the following Plan year. It takes into account the maximum matching contribution that could have been received and makes up for any difference in comparison to the matching contributions that were actually made.
In 2003, the Company made a one-time contribution to each participants account which was made up of a Company match that was missed during the new enrollment process and profit sharing that was accrued under their old plan. The contribution also included the amounts necessary to fully vest each participant as a result of a partial termination. The Attwood location populations previous plan operated on a vesting schedule, and not all participants were fully vested at the time that they joined the Plan. The total amount of all of these contributions was approximately $290,000.
Participants may direct their own contributions and related Company contributions into any of the Plans fund options. Participants may change their elections and transfer balances between funds at any time.
Vesting
Participants are fully vested in the balance of all of their accounts at all times.
Participant Loans
An active participant may borrow from his or her fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of his or her account balance. A participant is not permitted to have more than one loan outstanding at any one time. These loans bear interest, are secured by the participants accounts, and payable over a period not to exceed five years unless the loan is for the purchase of a home, in which case the loan term it may be for up to 10 years. The interest rate on loans is fixed at the prime rate reported by Reuters at the initiation of the loan.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Benefits
Upon termination of employment, a participant may elect to have his or her account balances rolled into another qualified retirement vehicle or receive a lump-sum distribution. Terminated participants with balances exceeding $5,000, may elect to remain in the Plan and defer payment to age 65. Account balances less than $5,000 will be distributed as soon as administratively possible following termination of employment.
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of the ERISA.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements of the Plan have been prepared under the accrual basis of accounting.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
The Plans investments are stated at fair value. Shares of registered investment companies are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end.
The Brunswick Stock Fund is a fund composed principally of Brunswick stock and is valued at a daily unit closing price. Two funds were established that consist of Brunswick stock. One is the Brunswick Stock Fund where new money is invested for participants that elect a percentage of their contributions to be invested in Brunswick Company stock. Dividends received on shares held in the Brunswick Company Stock Fund are reinvested in the Plan. The other fund is the Brunswick Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) Fund. Once a year, on January 1, all shares in the Brunswick Stock Fund are automatically transferred to the Brunswick ESOP Fund. Additionally, any transfers that are made from another investment option in the Plan will be transferred to the Brunswick ESOP Fund. Dividends in the Brunswick ESOP Fund may be reinvested in the Plan or received as cash.

4. Income Tax Status
The Plan has applied for but has not received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). However, the plan administrator believes that the Plan has been designed to comply with and is operating in accordance with the requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is exempt from taxation.
5. Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the value of certain investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.
