<P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE WITH DRYERS </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Fabriano (AN), November&nbsp;23rd, 2015 </I><B>-</B> Indesit Company S.p.A. announced today an ongoing corrective campaign to remedy possible safety and
quality issues with certain of its legacy products. The campaign is focused on dryers sold under the brand names of <I>Hotpoint*, Indesit</I> and<I> Creda</I> between April 2004 and October 2015. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Following Whirlpool Corporation&#146;s acquisition of the Indesit business in October 2014, Indesit began working with Whirlpool&#146;s global safety experts
in reviewing the Indesit product portfolio in accordance with Whirlpool&#146;s industry leading risk management systems and methodologies. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As part of
that process, in 2015, Indesit engaged in thorough investigations of incident reports associated with two of its dryer production platforms. This led to Indesit reporting the issue to regulatory authorities for consideration. These discussions
determined that corrective action of the affected dryers is required. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Indesit has implemented modifications at the point of manufacture to ensure that
dryers produced after October 2015 are not affected by this issue. An outreach and service campaign is underway to modify products that have already been sold. Consumers may continue to use the affected dryers until they are modified through the
outreach and service campaign, provided they are not left unattended during operation. If left unmodified, in some rare cases, excess fluff can come into contact with the heating element and present a risk of fire. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are now asking owners of <I>Indesit</I>, <I>Hotpoint </I>and<I> Creda</I> brands, who have not had their appliances already repaired, to contact Indesit.
Indesit will arrange a service visit and modify the dryer in the consumer&#146;s home at no charge. We invite all consumers with an <I>Indesit</I>, <I>Hotpoint, Creda</I> branded dryer purchased between April 2004 and October 2015, to visit the
dedicated site <FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" COLOR="#1155cc"><U>http://www.indesithotpointsafety.com</U></FONT><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman"> or contact us at 800907070. </FONT></P>
