Inc. (NYSE: FBHS), an industry-leading home and security products company, announced today it has named Nicholas Fink as president and chief operating officer (COO), Fortune Brands, reporting to Christopher Klein, chief executive officer (CEO),
Fortune Brands. Cheri Phyfer has been named president, Fortune Brands Global Plumbing Group (GPG). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;As part of our continued strategy to strengthen
and position the business for the next phase of growth, we are evolving our leadership team with a new yet traditional leadership role to better address the ever-changing markets and capture more growth opportunities,&#148; said Christopher Klein,
CEO, Fortune Brands. &#147;With the recent establishment of our three growth platforms, we will benefit from having stronger strategic alignment across the businesses. As president and COO, Nick will focus on driving the businesses and identifying
opportunities to maximize our growth potential even in a backdrop of a more moderate home products market. His added leadership expands our resources and will allow me to devote more time to the company&#146;s overall strategic direction and
opportunities for incremental shareholder value creation.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Klein will continue to actively lead the overall Company and core portfolio strategy to
ensure the Company is focused on delivering against its plans. He will also continue to focus on broader opportunities to create incremental shareholder value, including deploying capital and developing high-performance leadership across Fortune
Brands. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The three presidents of the Plumbing, Cabinets, and Doors&nbsp;&amp; Security divisions will report to Fink. In this new role, he will ensure
even more focus on understanding rapid market changes and quickly applying incremental resources and best thinking to capture the opportunities ahead. He will focus on how changes in the Company&#146;s markets, trade, labor and competitive dynamics
impact the businesses and take advantage of opportunities to deploy resources to achieve maximum impact. He will also drive the strategic planning process with division presidents to create value across the businesses and partner with supply chain
and operations leadership to explore the continued evolution of supply chains in a dynamic environment. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In her role as president, GPG, Phyfer will
succeed Fink, and be responsible for driving above-market growth across the platform at already high margins. She will continue building strong, iconic brands while bringing innovation into the market through acquisitions and strategic partnerships
that drive continued market outperformance. Her brand leadership will include the continued rejuvenation of the Moen brand, which has distinguished its category leadership with the &#147;Who Designs for Water?&#148; campaign; and further establish
the House of Rohl platform, which has solidified its luxury category leadership with &#147;The Story Craft Tells&#148; positioning. </P>
