April&nbsp;29, 2025, Moody&#146;s Investors Service, Inc. (&#147;Moody&#146;s&#148;) downgraded our senior unsecured debt rating to Ba1 from Baa3, with a negative outlook, citing various reasons, including weakened consumer demand, deteriorating
U.S. housing market conditions, and the possibility of a prolonged weak market environment from tariffs. Moreover, Moody&#146;s stated that its downgrade reflects our continued elevated financial leverage, negative free cash flow and high dividend.
In addition, on May&nbsp;1, 2025, S&amp;P Global Ratings (&#147;S&amp;P&#148;) downgraded our unsecured debt rating to BB+ from <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">BBB-,</FONT> with a stable outlook, citing various reasons, including the uncertain
macroeconomic environment, specifically with regard to the implementation of tariffs and retaliatory trade policies, and the potential resulting near-term profit weakness and decrease in industry volumes due to higher prices. Furthermore, on
May&nbsp;5, 2025, Fitch Ratings, Inc. (&#147;Fitch&#148;) downgraded our unsecured debt rating to BB+ from <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">BBB-,</FONT> with a negative outlook, citing various reasons, including expectations on timing of
deleveraging, a weaker demand environment, slower margin improvement, including as a result of tariffs and significant near-term debt maturities. As a result of these downgrades, our debt currently has a

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">While Whirlpool Corporation is not a holding company, it currently conducts some of its operations through its subsidiaries. Whirlpool
Corporation&#146;s principal source of funds, including for payment of principal and interest (including any additional amounts), on the notes, depends on earnings and cash flows of its subsidiaries and the ability of its subsidiaries to pay
dividends or advance or repay funds to it. In addition, any of Whirlpool Corporation&#146;s rights (including the rights of the holders of the notes) to participate in the assets of any of its subsidiaries upon any liquidation or reorganization of
any such subsidiary will be subject to the prior claims of such subsidiary&#146;s creditors (except to the extent that Whirlpool Corporation may itself be a creditor of such subsidiary), including such subsidiary&#146;s trade creditors and Whirlpool
Corporation&#146;s creditors who have obtained guarantees from such subsidiary. As a result, the notes will be structurally subordinated to the obligations and liabilities of all of Whirlpool Corporation&#146;s subsidiaries. As of March&nbsp;31,
2025, Whirlpool Corporation&#146;s subsidiaries had indebtedness of $1.75&nbsp;billion. In addition, the indenture governing the notes will permit Whirlpool Corporation&#146;s subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, including an unlimited
amount of unsecured indebtedness, and will not contain any limitation on the amount of other liabilities, such as trade payables, that may be incurred by its subsidiaries. </P>

therefor. As of March&nbsp;31, 2025, we had $4.1&nbsp;million of secured debt outstanding. If in the future, we default on any then-existing secured debt, the holders thereof may foreclose on the assets securing our secured debt, reducing the cash
flow from the foreclosed property available for payment of unsecured debt. The holders of any of our secured debt outstanding at the time of an event of default also would have priority over unsecured creditors in the event of our liquidation,
bankruptcy or similar proceeding. In the event of such a proceeding, the holders of our secured debt, if any, would be entitled to proceed against our pledged collateral, and that collateral will not be available for payment of unsecured debt,
including the notes. As a result, the notes will be effectively subordinated to any secured debt that we may have now or in the future. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The notes

with respect to a series of the notes, unless we have exercised our right to redeem such notes, subject to certain conditions, we will be required to make an offer to each holder of such notes to repurchase such notes at a purchase price equal to
101% of the principal amount of such notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of repurchase. The source of funds for that repurchase of the notes will be our available cash or cash generated from Whirlpool Corporation&#146;s
subsidiaries&#146; operations or other potential sources, including borrowings, sales of assets or sales of equity. We cannot assure you that sufficient funds from those sources will be available at the time a Change of Control Repurchase Event

as of March&nbsp;31, 2025 was $1.5&nbsp;billion. The Term Loan has a maturity date of October&nbsp;31, 2025. As of March&nbsp;31, 2025, the interest rate payable with respect to the Term Loan was 5.67% per annum.&nbsp;Pending this use, we intend to

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following is a general discussion of certain U.S. 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 Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and administrative rulings and guidance from the
Internal Revenue Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;), court decisions and other applicable authorities, all as of the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change, possibly retroactively. Any such change, including various United States tax reform
proposals under consideration as of the issue date, could significantly affect the U.S. federal income tax considerations described below. In particular, legislation currently proposed in the U.S. Congress could affect the tax treatment of certain <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-U.S.</FONT> Holders (as defined below) in respect of U.S.-source income and income effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. 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 (generally, property held for investment) 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 particular circumstances or status (including, for example, a
bank, a financial institution, an insurance company, a passive foreign investment company, a controlled foreign corporation, an individual retirement or other <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-deferred</FONT> account, an S corporation, a
broker-dealer or dealer or trader in securities or currencies, traders in securities that have elected the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">mark-to-market</FONT></FONT> method of accounting for their securities,
holders that have made an election to include in gross income all interest on a note under the constant yield method, a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> organization, a partnership or other pass-through entity and investors in such
entities, an expatriate, a real estate investment trust, a regulated investment company, a person that holds securities as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction, or other integrated investment, a
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-United</FONT> States trust or estate with United States beneficiaries, a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, a person subject to the personal holding company or accumulated
earnings rules, or a government or its controlled entities). This discussion also does not address the tax consequences to U.S. Holders (as defined below) that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, persons subject to special tax
accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to the notes being taken into account in an applicable financial statement (as defined in Section&nbsp;451 of the Code), persons subject to the base erosion and anti-abuse tax,
U.S. Holders that hold notes through <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> brokers or other <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> intermediaries. In addition, this discussion does not address the effect of any U.S. federal
taxes other than U.S. federal income taxes, such as any U.S. federal alternative minimum tax, Medicare tax on net investment income or estate and gift tax consequences or any aspect of state, local or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT>
taxation. We have not sought any ruling from the IRS 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 or that a court would not
sustain any challenge by the IRS in the event of litigation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; 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;an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (2)&nbsp;a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes 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 U.S. 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 &#147;United States Persons&#148; (within the meaning of Section&nbsp;7701(a)(30) of the Code, and for purposes of this discussion, a
&#147;U.S. person&#148;) 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 <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-U.S.</FONT>

circumstances (see &#147;Description of Notes&#151;Optional Redemption&#148;)). The obligation to make such extra payments may implicate the provisions of Treasury Regulations relating to &#147;contingent payment debt instruments,&#148; in which
case the timing and amount of income inclusions and the character of income recognized may be different from the consequences discussed therein. Under applicable Treasury Regulations, however, the possibility that such an amount will be paid will
not cause the notes to be treated as contingent payment debt instruments, and thus 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, viewed individually or in
the aggregate, there is only a &#147;remote&#148; chance that such an amount will be paid, the amount is &#147;incidental&#148; or certain other exceptions apply. Although the issue is not free from doubt, we intend to take the position that the
contingencies associated with such payments on the notes should be treated as remote and/or incidental, in the aggregate, within the meaning of the applicable Treasury Regulations as of the date hereof, and thus 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 for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 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> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S.

U.S. Holder (but not below zero). 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 year at the time of disposition. In the case of individual and certain other <FONT

limitations. A U.S. Holder that sells a note between interest payment dates will be required to treat as ordinary interest income an amount equal to interest that has accrued through the date of sale that has not been previously included in income.

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each series of the notes is a new issue of securities with no established trading market.
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange or quoted on any automated dealer quotation system. The underwriters may make a market in the notes of a series after completion of the offering but will not be obligated to do so. The
underwriters may discontinue any market-making activities at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading markets for the notes or that active public markets for the notes will develop. If active public
markets for the notes do not develop, the market prices and liquidity of the notes may be adversely affected. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the
offering of the notes, the representatives, on behalf of the underwriters, may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the prices of the notes. Specifically, the representatives may overallot in connection with the
offering, creating a short position. In addition, the representatives may bid for, and purchase, the notes in the open market to cover short positions or to stabilize the price of the notes. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the
market prices of the notes above independent market levels, but no representation is made hereby of the magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the market prices of the notes. The representatives will not be
required to engage in these activities, and may engage in these activities, or may end any of these activities, at any time without notice. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The representatives may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the
underwriting discount it received because the representatives have repurchased notes sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions. Any of these activities may have the effect of preventing or retarding
a decline in the market prices of the notes. They may also cause the prices of the notes to be higher than the prices that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. The underwriters may conduct these transactions
in the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">over-the-counter-market</FONT></FONT> or otherwise. If underwriters commence any of these transactions, they may discontinue them at any time. </P>

sales and trading, commercial and investment banking, advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, market making, brokerage and other financial and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-financial</FONT>
activities and services. Some of the underwriters and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us or our affiliates. They have
received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions. Certain of the underwriters or their respective affiliates are lenders under our Revolving Credit Facility or our Term Loan and may receive customary fees
or expense reimbursements in connection therewith. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriters and
their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments, including acting as counterparties to certain derivative and hedging arrangements, and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial
instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. If any of the underwriters or their
affiliates have a lending relationship with us, certain of those underwriters or their affiliates routinely hedge, certain other of those underwriters and affiliates are likely to hedge or otherwise reduce and certain of those underwriters or their
affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, such underwriters and their affiliates would hedge or reduce such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either
the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes
offered hereby. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent
