<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>BENTON HARBOR, Mich. &#150; January&nbsp;28, 2014 &#150; </B>Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE: WHR) today announced that the company had achieved its goal of
bringing unlawful appliance trade activity to the attention of the U.S. government. As a result, the company will no longer pursue the current refrigeration appeal following a favorable ruling from the U.S. Court of International Trade earlier this
month. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;Because of our actions, there is no longer any doubt that dumping occurred and is occurring, both for washers and refrigerators,&#148; said
Jeff Fettig, chairman and chief executive officer of Whirlpool Corporation. &#147;We are encouraged that the Court ruled there were mistakes made by the Trade Commission in not finding injury in the refrigeration case, particularly after the
Commission determined that U.S. appliance workers and consumers were harmed by foreign competitors&#146; unlawful washer trade actions.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Earlier
this month, Whirlpool won a favorable ruling from the U.S. Court of International Trade, in which the court agreed that significant errors were made in a 2012 trade remedy decision by the U.S. International Trade Commission. The case involved
refrigerators imported from South Korea by LG and Samsung between 2008 and 2011. In closing a proceeding based on old market data that could take several years to conclude before trade remedies go into effect, the company remains committed to
assessing all appropriate actions to ensure a level competitive playing field in today&#146;s marketplace. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;Since we filed the refrigerator case,
the U.S. marketplace, the products, prices and the countries of supply have changed,&#148; continued Fettig. &#147;Rather than pursue an appeal based on outdated data, we will put our energies toward continuing to monitor the U.S. appliance
