Item 8.01. Other Events.
On November 26, 2025, Brunswick Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the early tender results for the previously announced tender offer (the
“Offer”) to purchase for cash an aggregate principal amount of its outstanding $300 million 5.100% Senior Notes due 2052 (the “Notes”). The Company also announced that it has increased the maximum aggregate principal amount subject to purchase
pursuant to the Offer from up to an aggregate principal amount of $50 million to up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $100 million (such increased aggregate principal amount, the “Tender Cap”).
The Offer is being made exclusively pursuant to an offer to purchase, dated November 12, 2025 (the “Offer to Purchase”), as previously amended, which sets forth the terms
and conditions of the Offer. As of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 25, 2025 (the “Early Tender Deadline”), $111 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer. Because the
aggregate principal amount of all of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline exceeds the Tender Cap, the Company will not accept for purchase all of the Notes that have been validly tendered and
not validly withdrawn and will only accept for purchase Notes with an aggregate principal amount equal to the Tender Cap. Accordingly, Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline will be subject to
proration as described in the Offer to Purchase. The Company will use a proration rate of approximately 90.2% for such Notes and will accept $100 million aggregate principal amount of such Notes for purchase, adjusted for minimum eligible
denominations, as permitted by applicable law. The Company expects the settlement of all Notes accepted for purchase to occur on December 1, 2025, subject to all conditions to the Offer having been satisfied or waived. Since the Offer was fully
subscribed as of the Early Tender Deadline, the Company will not accept for purchase any Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Deadline. The Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 11, 2025, unless extended by the Company or
the Offer has been earlier terminated. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
On November 26, 2025, the Company also issued a press release announcing the pricing of the Offer. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is
incorporated herein by reference.
The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and any announcements related to the Offer, shall not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an
offer to purchase, any securities in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
