<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:6%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf.
Certain statements contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, the information incorporated herein by reference, and other written and oral statements made from time to time by us or on our behalf are based on current
projections about operations, industry conditions, financial condition, and liquidity, may not relate strictly to historical or current facts and may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and
financial performance. As such, they are considered &#147;forward-looking statements&#148; which provide current expectations or forecasts of future events. Such statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as &#147;may,&#148;
&#147;could,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;should,&#148; &#147;possible,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148; &#147;predict,&#148; &#147;forecast,&#148; &#147;potential,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;project,&#148;
&#147;intend,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;may impact,&#148; &#147;on track,&#148; and similar words or expressions. Our forward-looking statements generally relate to our growth strategies, financial results, product development, and sales
efforts. These forward-looking statements should be considered with the understanding that such statements involve a variety of risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, and may be affected by inaccurate assumptions. Consequently, no
forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may vary materially. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:6%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Forward-looking statements in this document or in the
information incorporated herein by reference may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding expected earnings per share, cash flow, productivity and material and oil-related prices. Many risks, contingencies and uncertainties could cause
actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements. Among these factors are: (1)&nbsp;intense competition in the home appliance industry reflecting the impact of both new and established global competitors, including Asian and
European manufacturers; (2)&nbsp;our ability to continue our relationship with significant trade customers and the ability of these trade customers to maintain or increase market share; (3)&nbsp;acquisition and investment-related risk, including
risks associated with our acquisitions of Hefei Rongshida Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd and Indesit Company, S.p.A. (&#147;Indesit&#148;); (4)&nbsp;changes in economic conditions which affect demand for our products, including the strength of the building
industry and the level of interest rates; (5)&nbsp;product liability and product recall costs; (6)&nbsp;inventory and other asset risk; (7)&nbsp;risks related to our international operations, including changes in foreign regulations, regulatory
compliance and disruptions arising from natural disasters or terrorist attacks; (8)&nbsp;the uncertain global economy; (9)&nbsp;our ability to achieve our business plans, productivity improvements, cost control, price increases, leveraging of our
global operating platform, and acceleration of the rate of innovation; (10)&nbsp;our ability to maintain our reputation and brand image; (11)&nbsp;fluctuations in the cost of key materials (including steel, plastic, resins, copper and aluminum) and
components and our ability to offset cost increases; (12)&nbsp;litigation, tax, and legal compliance risk and costs, especially costs which may be materially different from the amount we expect to incur or have accrued for; (13)&nbsp;the effects and
costs of governmental investigations or related actions by third parties; (14)&nbsp;our ability to obtain and protect intellectual property rights; (15)&nbsp;the ability of suppliers of critical parts, components and manufacturing equipment to
deliver sufficient quantities to us in a timely and cost-effective manner; (16)&nbsp;health care cost trends, regulatory changes and variations between results and estimates that could increase future funding obligations for pension and
post-retirement benefit plans; (17)&nbsp;information technology system failures and data security breaches; (18)&nbsp;the impact of labor relations; (19)&nbsp;our ability to attract, develop and retain executives and other qualified employees;
(20)&nbsp;changes in the legal and regulatory environment including environmental and health and safety regulations; and (21)&nbsp;our ability to manage foreign currency fluctuations. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:6%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, and investors are advised to review disclosures
in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is not possible to foresee or identify all factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected or historic results. Therefore, investors should not consider the foregoing
factors to be an exhaustive statement of all risks, uncertainties, or factors that could potentially cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements. Additional information concerning these factors can be found in our periodic filings
with the SEC, including our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, as updated by our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and other filings we make with the SEC. </P>

price or suitability for a particular investor. In addition, ratings at any time may be lowered or withdrawn in their entirety. The ratings of our notes may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to structure and other factors on any

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>EACH TAXPAYER SHOULD SEEK ADVICE AS TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE NOTES BASED ON THE TAXPAYER&#146;S
PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR. </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:6%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following is a general discussion of certain United States federal
income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the notes by initial holders of notes, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations. This discussion is based upon the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;), the Treasury Regulations thereunder and administrative rulings and court decisions, all as of the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change, possibly retroactively. Unless otherwise
stated, this discussion is limited to the tax consequences to those persons who are original beneficial owners of the notes (&#147;Holders&#148;) who purchase notes at their original issue price (generally the first price at which a substantial
amount of the notes are sold for money to the public, not including purchases by bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers) for cash and who hold such notes as
capital assets within the meaning of Section&nbsp;1221 of the Code and assumes that such issue price is the price stated on the cover of this offering memorandum. This discussion assumes that the notes are not issued with original issue discount as
that term is defined in the Code and Treasury Regulations. This discussion does not consider any specific facts or circumstances or special tax rules that may apply to a particular Holder based on its status (including, for example, a bank, a
financial institution, a broker-dealer, an insurance company, a passive foreign investment company, a controlled foreign corporation, an individual retirement or other tax-deferred account, an S corporation, a broker-dealer or dealer or trader in
securities or currencies, a tax-exempt organization, a partnership or other pass-through entity, an expatriate, a real estate investment trust, a regulated investment company, or a person that holds securities as part of a straddle, hedge,
conversion transaction, or other integrated investment). This discussion also does not address the tax consequences to persons that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar. In addition, this discussion does not address U.S. federal
alternative minimum tax or estate and gift tax consequences or any aspect of state, local or foreign taxation. We have not sought any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;) with respect to the statements made and the
conclusions reached in this discussion, and we cannot assure you that the IRS will agree with such statements and conclusions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:6%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For
purposes of this discussion, a &#147;U.S. Holder&#148; means a Holder that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes (1)&nbsp;a citizen or resident of the United States, (2)&nbsp;a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or
organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, (3)&nbsp;an estate whose income is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its
source, or (4)&nbsp;a trust whose administration is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and which has one or more United States persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or if a valid
election to be treated as a U.S. person is in effect with respect to such trust. A Non-U.S. Holder is a Holder that is neither a U.S. Holder nor a partnership or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax
purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:6%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If a partnership or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes holds
the notes, the tax treatment of a partner thereof will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners in a partnership holding the notes should consult their tax advisors as to the tax consequences to
them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes by the partnership. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATIONAL

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:6%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In certain circumstances, we may be obligated to pay amounts in excess of the stated interest or principal on the notes (for example, a
repurchase upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined in &#147;Description of the Notes&#151;Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon Change of Control Repurchase Event&#148;). The obligation to make such payments may implicate the provisions
of Treasury regulations relating to &#147;contingent payment debt instruments.&#148; Under applicable Treasury regulations, the possibility that such an amount will be paid will not affect the amount, timing or character of income recognized by a
holder with respect to the notes if, as of the date the notes were issued, there is only a remote chance that such an amount will be paid, the amount is incidental or certain other exceptions apply. We intend to take the position that the
contingencies associated with such payments on the notes should not cause the notes to be subject to the contingent payment debt instrument rules. Our determination is binding on a holder unless such holder discloses its contrary position in the
manner required by applicable Treasury regulations. Our determination is not, however, binding on the IRS, and if the IRS were to successfully challenge this determination, a holder might be required to accrue interest income at a higher rate than
the stated interest rate on the notes, and to treat as ordinary income any gain realized on the taxable disposition of a note. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the notes will not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments.
Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential application to the notes of the contingent payment debt instrument rules and the consequences thereof. </P>

will equal the cost of the notes to the U.S. Holder, less any principal payments received by such U.S. Holder. Any gain or loss will generally be long-term capital gain or loss, provided the notes had been held by such U.S. Holder for more than one
