Dear Fellow Shareholders: |

On behalf of your Board of Directors and management team, thank you for investing in Brunswick Corporation. |

Brunswick had a very solid finish to 2024, characterized by significant cash generation in the fourth quarter, continued outboard engine market share gains, successful new product launches, and strong operating performance. Our focus on cost containment, robust capital strategy execution, and successful efforts to manage working capital resulted in outstanding full year operating and free cash flow generation, even as we continued to invest in new products and technologies to support strategic growth initiatives and diligently managed boat and engine field inventory. These factors enabled us to conclude 2024 with good momentum which we look forward to building on in 2025. In 2024, for the third consecutive year, Brunswick received over 100 major awards for our products, people, brands, and corporate culture. These accolades reflect our dedication to product and technology leadership, responsible business practices, and being an employer of choice. Notably, TIME Magazine ranked us number one in the engineering and manufacturing category on its list of America’s Best Midsize Companies. In addition, Forbes Magazine recognized us as one of the world’s top companies for women, and Newsweek Magazine listed us as one of America’s Most Trustworthy Companies. At the 2024 Miami International Boat Show, Brunswick Corporation was honored with a record-setting 16 product innovation and marketing awards across our portfolio of brands. |  | Our business portfolio continues to demonstrate resilience in the face of ongoing economic and consumer uncertainty. This strength is founded on the power of our expanding recurring revenue streams, including our P&A, aftermarket, and subscription services businesses and product lines, in addition to our ability to outpace a challenging market with share gains and increased share of wallet. Furthermore, our capital strategy continues to prioritize returning capital to our shareholders, reflected by the 12 th consecutive year of dividend increases and share repurchases totaling $200 million in 2024. Additional 2024 highlights included: •   Brunswick’s introduction of over 100 new products across Boat Group, Mercury Marine, Navico Group, and Flite, including: - Boat Group launching many new boat models across all its brands, including the Boston Whaler 330 Vantage, the Sea Ray SDX 250/270 and SPX 190, the Harris Cruiser e-210 powered by Mercury’s Avator electric outboards, the Princecraft Vogue pontoon, and the Lowe LS Pontoon line, as well as debuting the Navan brand and first two models in the US - Mercury Marine releasing the 75e and 110e Avator electric outboards and launching the 150R and 200R Racing outboards |  | David M. Foulkes

| Letter from the Board Chair and CEO — 2025 Proxy Statement | 3

|  | -   Navico Group launching many new products in 2024 including Simrad’s NSX Ultrawide multi-function display, the Elite FS fishfinder from Lowrance, two new trolling motors including its first saltwater trolling motor under the Simrad brand, and Lenco’s Pro Control Trim Tab System -    Flite shipping 35% more Fliteboards in 2024 than in 2023 and launching its most affordable product, the Flite AIR, aimed at expanding participation in this fast-growing activity •    Freedom Boat Club surpassing 60,000 memberships in 2024 representing more than 100,000 worldwide members, expanding its convenient boating participation business model to new countries, and celebrating its 35th anniversary as the largest boating community in the world •    Mercury Marine achieving leading outboard engine share at all the major global boat shows in the year including Miami, Dusseldorf, Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Dubai, and Toronto •   The introduction of Boating Intelligence™, a comprehensive initiative to incorporate AI features into our products to deliver simpler, safer, smarter, and more sustainable boating As evidence of our commitment to enhancing and developing our senior leadership team, in August we seamlessly executed a sequence of role changes and promotions which included: Aine Denari becoming Executive Vice President, President of Navico Group and Chief Technology Officer; Brenna Preisser succeeding Denari as Executive Vice President and President of Brunswick Boat Group; and Will Sangster being promoted to Senior Vice President and President of Business Acceleration. All three |  | leaders were thoroughly prepared for their new roles and have hit the ground running. In January 2025, we exhibited at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, showcasing the full suite of our latest technologies, including our autonomous docking solution, which is expected to be commercialized later in 2025, and engaging a broad, international audience with Brunswick. Your Board continues to be committed to delivering long-term, sustainable shareholder value, and we are confident that our leadership team and strategy will continue to demonstrate the unique power of our resilient portfolio and our many opportunities for future growth and success. In early 2025, after six years serving as CEO and as Nancy Cooper rotated off the Board Chair role she has successfully held for four years, I was honored to be elected Chairman. Nancy remains a valued director on our Board, and we thank her for her service as Board Chair. The Board also elected David Everitt to serve as Lead Independent Director, and we look forward to his significant contributions in this role. We invite you to join us for our annual meeting of shareholders, which will be conducted via live audio webcast on May 7, 2025. You may attend the virtual meeting of shareholders online and submit your questions during the meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ BC2025.

Corporate Governance

The Board of Directors has adopted written Principles and Practices (the Principles) which are available on our website, www.brunswick.com under Investors, or in print upon any Brunswick shareholder’s request. The Principles set the framework for our governance structure. The Board believes that good corporate governance is a source of our competitive advantage. Good governance allows the skills, experience, and judgment of the Board to support our executive management team, enabling management to improve our performance and maximize shareholder value. As set forth in the Principles, the Board’s responsibilities include overseeing and directing management in building long-term value for shareholders. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the senior management team are responsible | for managing day-to-day business operations and for presenting regular updates to the Board about our business. The Board offers the CEO and management constructive advice and counsel and may, in its sole discretion and at the Company’s expense, obtain advice and counsel from independent legal, financial, accounting, compensation, and other advisors. The independent Directors regularly meet in executive session without management. The Board of Directors met five times during 2024. Our Directors collectively attended 100% of the 2024 Board and committee meetings. The Principles provide that all members of the Board are requested to attend Brunswick’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and all Directors attended the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

22 | 2025 Proxy Statement — Corporate Governance |

Board Leadership

The Principles provide for a rotation of the board chair position after four consecutive annual meetings. Accordingly, Nancy Cooper, who served as our Non-Executive Board Chair for the last four annual meetings, rotated out of the position effective March 1, 2025. Ms. Cooper will continue to serve as a Board member and assist in a smooth and orderly leadership transition. We thank her for her years of service as Board Chair. With Ms. Cooper’s rotation out of the Board Chair position, the Board considered the relative benefits of combining the Chair and CEO positions. The Principles provide that the position of Board Chair and CEO may be combined or separated as the Board deems to be in the best interests of the Company and shareholders at any given time. When the Board Chair and the CEO are the same person, the independent directors select a Lead Independent Director. The Board believes it is important to retain this flexibility in leadership structure, recognizing that the Company’s needs may change over time. After carefully considering the perspectives of our independent directors, the Board unanimously concluded that David M. Foulkes, our current CEO and a recognized industry leader, would be best positioned to serve as Board Chair. The Board further elected veteran Director David C. Everitt as Lead Independent Director. Electing Mr. Foulkes as Board Chair capitalizes on his deep knowledge of the Company’s | operations, as well as his years of experience on the Board, to provide a critical link between the Board’s oversight and the day-to-day operations of the Company in this challenging and dynamic environment. Mr. Foulkes brings to the role his vision for our long-term strategy, honed over his six years as CEO, as well as an essential understanding of our global workforce, years of industry and operational experience, and strong relationships with external stakeholders. As Board Chair, Mr. Foulkes is well-positioned to help the Board focus on those issues of greatest importance to the Company and our shareholders. Meanwhile, the Board believes Mr. Everitt’s extensive record of leadership and operational experience will prove invaluable in the Lead Independent Director position. His global operations, distribution, and engineering expertise, developed through years of experience with a global manufacturer, provide the Board with crucial knowledge and insights. As Lead Independent Director, Mr. Everitt will serve as a liaison between the Directors, Mr. Foulkes, and other members of management, lead executive sessions of independent Directors, review meeting agendas, help facilitate Board committee responsibilities, and other clearly defined responsibilities as set forth in Exhibit E of the Principles. The Board believes this governance structure will result in a strong and effective board, in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders.

| Corporate Governance — 2025 Proxy Statement | 23

Board Qualifications

Among other things, the Board expects each Director to understand our business and the markets in which we operate, monitor economic and business trends, and use his or her perspective, background, experience, and knowledge to provide management with insights and guidance. To that end, the Board is comprised of business savvy Directors with strategic mindsets and meaningful operational skills. The Board continually monitors its members’ skills and experience and considers their expertise for succession | planning and committee assignments. As part of this evaluation process, the Board and its committees conduct annual self-evaluations, and the Lead Independent Director may also engage individual Board members regarding Board or committee performance. At times the Board has engaged an independent third party to interview Directors and facilitate the Board, committee, and Director review process. This third party reports on findings and provides feedback on Board performance relative to our peers.

Board Selection and Refreshment

Candidate Selection Process

Director Candidate Considerations

● | Integrity | retain a third-party search firm to assist it with identifying or recruiting qualified candidates when vacancies arise. The Principles require a non-employee Director to retire from the Board at the first annual meeting of shareholders following his or her 75th birthday, and for an employee Director to resign when he or she ceases employment with Brunswick. In the last ten years, the Board has not granted any waiver to these policies. The Governance Committee will consider qualified director candidates who shareholders suggest by written submissions to: Brunswick Corporation 26125 N. Riverwoods Blvd., Suite 500 Mettawa, IL 60045 Attention: Corporate Secretary’s Office email: corporate.secretary@brunswick.com Any recommendation a shareholder submits must include the name of the candidate, a description of the candidate’s educational and professional background, contact information for the candidate, and a brief explanation of why the shareholder believes the candidate is suitable for election. The Governance Committee will apply the same standards in considering director candidates recommended by shareholders as it applies to other candidates.

● | Judgment
● | Intelligence
● | Personal Character
● | Diversity—Perspectives, Backgrounds, Experiences, Other
● | Ability to Make Independent Analytical Inquiries
● | Willingness and Ability to Devote Time to Board Duties
● | Likelihood of Board Tenure
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (Governance Committee), in consultation with the Board Chair and Lead Independent Director, is responsible for identifying, screening, personally interviewing, and recommending candidates to the Board. The Board does not have a formal diversity policy, but the Board considers an overall diversity of perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences in Board membership when evaluating candidates. The Board regularly reviews Board performance, including the composition of the Directors and the committees, and the Governance Committee makes recommendations regarding Director nominations for re-election on an annual basis. The Governance Committee may

| Corporate Governance — 2025 Proxy Statement | 25

In addition to recommending director candidates to the Governance Committee, shareholders may also, pursuant to procedures established in our Amended By-Laws, directly nominate one or more director candidates to stand for election through our advance notice or proxy access procedures. In order for a shareholder nominee to be included in our Proxy Statement for an annual meeting, the nomination notice must be provided between 120 and 150 days before the anniversary date that we first mailed our Proxy Statement for the annual meeting of the previous year, and must comply with all applicable requirements in the Amended By-Laws. To nominate director candidates to stand for election at an annual meeting of shareholders without including them in our proxy materials, a shareholder must deliver written notice of the nomination to Brunswick’s Secretary not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders. For a special meeting of shareholders, a shareholder wishing to make such a nomination must deliver written notice of the nomination to Brunswick’s Secretary no later than the close of business on the tenth day following the date on which notice of the meeting is first given to shareholders. In any case, a notice of nomination submitted by a shareholder must include information concerning the nominating shareholder and the shareholder’s nominee(s) as required by our Amended By-Laws. Director Independence As noted in the Principles, the Board believes that independent Directors should constitute a substantial majority of the Board and that no more than two members of management may serve on the Board at the same time. The Principles provide that a Director shall be considered to be independent if he or she satisfies the general Director independence standards established by the NYSE. The NYSE standards provide that a Director will not be independent unless the Board affirmatively determines that the Director has no material relationship with Brunswick (either directly or as a partner, | shareholder, or officer of an organization that has a relationship with Brunswick). Applying the NYSE standards, and considering all relevant facts and circumstances, the Board has made an affirmative determination that none of the independent Directors has a material relationship with Brunswick and that all Directors, other than Mr. Foulkes, are independent. Mr. Foulkes is not independent due to his position as CEO of Brunswick. Shareholder Engagement Our active investor relations efforts include regular and ongoing engagement with current and potential investors, financial analysts, and the media through conference calls, correspondence, conferences, in-person or virtual investor meetings, and other events. This ensures that management and the Board understand, consider, and address the issues that matter most to our shareholders. Since 2012, Brunswick has held an Investor Day at least every two years, most recently in September 2023, and regularly hosts other investor events as well. Investor events allow investors access to our top managers to discuss and explain our businesses, update the audience on our progress against our current long-term plan, and outline our future plans, strategies, and commitments. Shareholder Communication The Principles provide that our shareholders or other interested parties may, at any time, communicate in writing with the Board, the Board Chair, Lead Independent Director, or the independent Directors as a group, by writing to: Brunswick Corporation 26125 N. Riverwoods Blvd., Suite 500 Mettawa, IL 60045 Attention: Corporate Secretary’s Office email: corporate.secretary@brunswick.com

26 | 2025 Proxy Statement — Corporate Governance |

The General Counsel will review and distribute, as appropriate, copies of written communications received by any of these means, depending on the subject matter and facts and circumstances described in the communication. Communications that are not related to the | duties and responsibilities of the Board, or are otherwise considered to be improper for submission to the intended recipient(s), will not be forwarded to the Board, the Board Chair, the Lead Independent Director, or the non-management Directors.
Board Committees
The Board of Directors has four committees: Audit and Finance, Nominating and Corporate Governance, Human Resources and Compensation, and Executive. Each committee is comprised solely of independent Directors, as that standard is determined by the Principles and the NYSE Listed Company Manual, with the exception of the Executive Committee, which | Mr. Foulkes chairs. Each of the committees may, at its sole discretion and at Brunswick’s expense, obtain advice and assistance from outside legal, financial, accounting, or other experts and advisors. The following table shows the current membership of these committees:

Governance Policies & Practices

Brunswick Ethics Program Brunswick has adopted the Integrity Playbook, our code of conduct (the Code), which applies to all employees, officers, directors, vendors, suppliers, and agents, and includes standards and procedures for reporting and addressing potential conflicts of interest as well as a general code of conduct that provides guidelines regarding how to conduct business in an ethical manner. The Board has adopted an additional Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers and Managers (the Financial Officer Code of Ethics). The Financial Officer Code of Ethics applies to Brunswick’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Vice President—Treasurer, Vice President—Tax, Vice President—Internal Audit, Senior Vice President—Controller, and other designated Brunswick employees, and sets forth standards to which these officers and employees are to adhere in areas such as conflicts of interest, disclosure of information, and compliance with laws, rules, and regulations. The Financial Officer Code of Ethics supplements the Code. The Audit and Finance Committee and our Ethics Office oversee and administer these policies. The Code and the Financial Officer Code of Ethics are available at www.brunswick.com under Responsibility, and any Brunswick shareholder may obtain them in print upon request. If Brunswick grants a waiver of the policies set forth in the Code or the Financial Officer Code of Ethics, or materially amends either, we will, to the extent required by applicable law, regulation, or NYSE listing standard, disclose that waiver or amendment by making an appropriate statement on our website at www.brunswick.com. | Transactions with Related Persons Pursuant to its charter, the Governance Committee is tasked with the recommendation and review of corporate governance principles, policies, and programs designed to ensure our compliance with high ethical standards and with applicable regulatory requirements, including those relating to conflicts of interest and other business practices that reflect upon our role as a responsible corporate citizen. The Governance Committee oversees the implementation of the Code, which includes our conflicts of interest principles. The Governance Committee reports on these compliance matters to the Board of Directors, which is ultimately responsible for overseeing the Company’s ethical and legal compliance, including transactions with “related persons.” Our policy regarding related person transactions (the Related Person Transactions Policy) defines “related persons” to include all Directors and Executive Officers of the Company, all beneficial owners of more than 5% of any class of voting securities of the Company, and the immediate family members of any such persons. On a regular basis, we request Directors and Executive Officers to complete a questionnaire including questions designed to identify related persons and any potential related person transactions. Our General Counsel and Controller, or their delegates, review and update a listing of those individuals identified as related persons and provide a copy of this listing to our external auditors on at least an annual basis and more often as warranted. According to the Related

32 | 2025 Proxy Statement — Governance Policies & Practices |

Person Transactions Policy, a related person transaction includes certain transactions in which the Company is a participant and in which a related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest, including any financial transaction, arrangement, or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements, or relationships. Certain transactions are excluded from the Related Person Transactions Policy. If a related person transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to SEC rules is identified, the Related Person Transactions Policy requires that the General Counsel and Controller review the transaction and advise the Chair of the Governance Committee as well as the Chair of the Audit and Finance Committee, if appropriate. The Governance Committee may approve or ratify such transaction or, if it determines that the transaction should be considered by the Board of Directors, submit it for consideration by all disinterested members of the Board (the Reviewing Directors). In determining whether to approve or ratify a related person transaction, the Governance Committee and/or the Reviewing Directors will consider relevant factors, including: ● The size of the transaction and the amount payable to a related person; ● The nature of the interest of the related person in the transaction; ● Whether the transaction may involve a conflict of interest; and ● Whether the transaction involves the provision of goods or services to the Company that are also available from unaffiliated third parties and, if so, whether the terms of the transaction are at least as favorable to the Company as would be available in comparable transactions with unaffiliated third parties. | Since January 1, 2024, no transaction has been identified as a related person transaction and, therefore, no transaction was referred to the Board or any Board committee for review in that time period. Risk Management Our Board, with the assistance of its committees, has responsibility for overseeing the Company’s overall approach to risk management and is actively engaged in addressing our most significant risks. The Board oversees Brunswick’s long-standing enterprise risk management (ERM) process, which regularly identifies, assesses, and mitigates enterprise and emerging risks. Under the leadership of the Vice President—Internal Audit, our ERM process reviews strategic, financial, operational, sustainability, and compliance risks facing the Company at least twice annually. Key Phases of Brunswick’s Enterprise Risk Management Framework Action plans and mitigations identified from the process are integrated into the Company’s annual budgeting processes, strategic planning, product development or product management processes, and audit planning. Our Directors are experienced business leaders with risk management expertise. Additionally, the Company routinely engages internal and external experts to educate the Board about ongoing or emerging risks and risk management strategies.

| Governance Policies & Practices — 2025 Proxy Statement | 33

Insider Trading Policy

Brunswick has in place an Insider Trading and Unauthorized Disclosures Policy (Insider Trading Policy), which governs the purchase, sale, and other dispositions of our securities by Directors, officers, and employees, and is designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules, and regulations. A copy of our Insider Trading Policy was filed as Exhibit | 19.1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. In addition to the Insider Trading Policy, Brunswick does not repurchase our securities when the Company is in possession of material undisclosed information other than as part of a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan established in advance.
Compensation Risk Assessment
Each year, senior management oversees a risk assessment of the Company’s executive compensation program. In 2024, management concluded, and the Compensation Committee agreed, that our compensation plans, program design, policies, and practices created appropriate incentives to increase long-term shareholder value without creating risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Our executive | compensation program includes several features that mitigate unnecessary risk taking, including an appropriate balance of short-term and long-term performance metrics, plans capped at maximum payout levels, and negative discretion provisions that can reduce or eliminate payouts, as well as robust stock ownership requirements for executives, an SEC compliant clawback policy, and a prohibition on hedging or pledging Company shares.

Director Compensation

Narrative To Director Compensation Table

Annual Fees and Deferred Stock Awards Effective May 1, 2024, non-employee Director compensation was increased to an annual retainer of $265,000, with $110,000 payable in cash (increased from the previous $105,000), and $155,000 payable in Common Stock (increased from the previous $150,000). The Lead Independent Director receives an additional annual retainer of $50,000 paid in Common Stock. Committee chairs and members of certain committees receive additional annual retainers paid in Common Stock, as follows: ● Audit and Finance Committee Chair: $25,000 ● Human Resources and Compensation Committee Chair: $20,000 ● Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chair: $17,500 ● Audit and Finance Committee members: $12,500 ● Human Resources and Compensation Committee members: $10,000 ● Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee members: $8,750 For the portion of each Director’s total annual fee paid in Common Stock, the number of shares is determined by the closing price of Common Stock on the date of the award and is reported in the “Stock Awards” column of the Director Compensation Table. | The receipt of these shares may be deferred until a Director retires from the Board. Each Director may elect to have the cash portion of the annual fee paid as follows: ● In cash or ● In Common Stock, deferred until the Director      leaves the Board, with a 20% premium. For Directors who elect to receive the cash portion in deferred Common Stock, the number of shares to be received upon departure from the Board is determined by multiplying the cash amount by 1.2, then dividing that amount by the closing price of Common Stock on the date of the award. Share Ownership Requirements As set forth in the Principles, within five years of appointment or initial election, a Director is required to own Common Stock and deferred stock units of the Company equal to five times the amount of the Director’s annual cash retainer. Once having met this threshold, if a Director falls below the threshold as a result of a decline in our stock price, the Director will have a two-year period within which to once again achieve the threshold. We calculate compliance with these requirements annually, using the average Brunswick stock price for the prior calendar year. As of December 31, 2024, all Directors were in compliance with the share ownership requirements.

Brunswick Product Program

Directors are encouraged to use Brunswick products to enhance their understanding and appreciation of Brunswick’s business. Directors receive an annual allowance of up to $35,000, which may be applied to purchase Brunswick products and/or fund expenses incurred relating to the ownership of such products. Brunswick reports the income associated with the allowance | and does not reimburse Directors for the associated tax liability. Directors may purchase additional Brunswick products at their own expense, at discounted rates. Brunswick reports imputed income associated with any discounts and does not reimburse Directors for the associated tax liability.

Business Highlights 1

Brunswick delivered a resilient year despite a challenging environment, with outstanding operating and free cash flow generation, outboard engine market share gains, and several successful new product launches.

Net sales were $5.2B in 2024, below the prior year as the impact of lower wholesale ordering patterns by dealers, OEMs and retailers, coupled with higher discounts in select segments, and unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, were only partially offset by annual price increases and well received new products. |  | In 2024, we recorded GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) of $2.21 and adjusted Diluted EPS1 of $4.57. |  | We successfully executed our capital strategy in 2024, returning $312 million to investors through share repurchases and dividends.
| In addition, we delivered free cash flow1 of $284 million, reflecting our continued focus on driving cash in this challenging market. |  | We deployed $167 million for capital expenditures on exciting new products and growth projects across our businesses.

2024 Say-On-Pay Executive Compensation Vote

At the 2024 Annual Meeting, shareholders overwhelmingly approved our “say-on-pay” proposal (shareholders cast 95% of votes for the proposal). We were pleased with this significant vote of confidence in our pay practices and did not make any direct changes to our compensation programs as a result of the vote. Nevertheless, we evaluated and confirmed our compensation programs in 2024 reinforce our pay-for-performance philosophy and align management compensation with shareholder interests. | 95% of the votes cast on the proposal were voted in support of the compensation of our NEOs

2024 Key Compensation Decisions

Annual Incentive Plan

All NEOs participated in the 2024 annual incentive plan called the Brunswick Performance Plan (BPP). For Corporate NEOs (Messrs. Foulkes and Gwillim), a majority of the award was tied to overall Brunswick Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS) with a link to Brunswick Free Cash Flow (FCF). For the Division NEOs (Mses. Denari and Preisser and Mr. Buelow), a significant portion of the award was tied to overall Brunswick EPS and Brunswick FCF and included a divisional EBIT component to reward division performance. For 2024, no NEO was paid an award under the BPP as Brunswick’s performance on an enterprise and divisional basis was below the established 2024 BPP performance thresholds. For additional information on the annual incentive plan, see “Achievement of Targeted Results” on page 47.

Long-Term Incentives

We grant performance-based equity in the form of Performance Shares to certain key senior executives, including each of the NEOs. Performance underlying the awards is measured based on Cash Flow Return on Investment (CFROI), Operating Margin and Brunswick’s total shareholder return performance relative to the total shareholder return (TSR) of an established peer group, as measured over a threeyear performance period. We believe Performance Shares strengthen our pay-for-performance philosophy and align management’s long-term goals with our key strategic initiatives. Actual performance for the 2022 Performance Shares award was below the three-year targets, and awards paid under the plan were at 9.0% of the target opportunity. For additional information, see page 51. In addition, the Company continues to provide Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) as part of equity compensation delivered to reinforce key retention initiatives and to align shareholder and NEO interests. For the 2024 RSU grant, we modified the vesting schedule from three-year cliff vesting to three-year ratable vesting to better

align with competitive practice and to support recruiting and retention efforts. This vesting change does not impact Performance Shares or RSUs granted in 2023 and earlier.

Management Succession Activities

The following leadership changes occurred in August 2024, all of which were part of the Board’s succession planning process and to further broaden the scope and experience of the senior leadership team.

● | Ms. Denari was appointed Executive Vice President and President, Navico Group, and Brunswick Chief Technology Officer. In consideration of this promotion, we increased Ms. Denari’s base salary, annual incentive target and annual long-term incentive target, all of which were determined based on competitive practice for comparable roles and internal equity. Ms. Denari received an additional equity grant in August 2024 to recognize her new role and responsibilities. The terms and conditions of the August equity grant is identical to those of the grants received in February 2024 (see page 58).

● | Ms. Preisser was appointed Executive Vice President and President, Brunswick Boat Group. In consideration of this promotion, we increased Ms. Preisser’s base salary and annual incentive target, which was determined based on competitive practice for comparable roles and internal equity. Ms. Preisser received an additional equity grant in August 2024 to recognize her new role and responsibilities. The terms and conditions of the August equity grant is identical to those of the grants received in February 2024 (see page 58).

● | Mr. Buelow remained in his role as Executive Vice President and President, Mercury Marine for the entirety of 2024 after his February 2023 promotion into the role. Given the management succession activities that occurred in August 2024, Mr. Buelow’s positioning to market was also reviewed given his tenure, development, and positive contributions in the role. Mr. Buelow was provided a base salary increase, which was determined based on competitive practice for comparable roles and internal equity.

Overall Philosophy of Our Executive Compensation Programs

The overall philosophy of our compensation programs for the NEOs and other senior executives is to encourage and reward the creation of sustainable, long-term shareholder value. Specifically, we identified the following objectives to help realize this goal:

| Align with Shareholders’ Interests
Reward performance in a given year and achievements over a sustained period that are aligned with the interests of our shareholders.
| Remain Competitive Attract, retain, and motivate top talent.
| Motivate Achievement of Financial and Strategic Goals Reinforces the importance of business objective achievement and execution of our overall strategy.
| Reward Superior Performance Reinforce our pay-for-performance culture.

Compensation Design Principles

In support of our objectives, the framework of our executive compensation programs incorporates the following design principles.

Focus On The Creation Of Long-Term Shareholder Value

Our senior executives are responsible for achieving long-term strategic goals. Accordingly, compensation is weighted more heavily toward rewarding long-term value creation for shareholders as an individual rises within the organization.

Our emphasis on long-term shareholder value creation is best illustrated in

the following chart, which shows the portion of total targeted compensation that is attributable to long-term incentive compensation and the portion attributable to other key elements of our compensation programs. As shown in the chart, long-term incentive compensation accounts for the largest percentage of overall compensation when compared to base salary and annual incentives (bonus). In addition, as a result of the compensation structure, a majority of senior executive compensation is deemed “at risk,” with such amounts constituting approximately 90% of Mr. Foulkes’ total compensation and approximately 72% of total compensation for our other NEOs in 2024.

Below is a chart comparing the targeted compensation mix of the CEO and other NEOs:

| Executive Compensation — 2025 Proxy Statement | 45

Provide Incentives for Achievement of Our Goals

We charge our senior executives with the responsibility to achieve our strategic, financial, and operational goals which we believe are key drivers to long-term shareholder value creation. As a result, we link executive compensation to business performance by establishing business metrics against which we measure performance, and which the Board has determined are important to our key stakeholders.

We establish variable compensation targets (individual BPP targets and long-term incentive targets) for each NEO and other employees with reference to market median for each separate compensation component and evaluate overall competitiveness of Target Direct Compensation (TDC) (base salary plus annual bonus opportunity plus long-term incentives) for each individual as compared to the market TDC.

We base annual incentive metrics on overall enterprise metrics for corporate participants and a combination of division and overall enterprise metrics for division participants. Long-term incentives are based on our consolidated results and relative TSR.

Competitive Compensation

We recognize that, in order to attract and retain the level of talent essential to achieving our established objectives, we must maintain a competitive executive compensation program. Each year, the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, FW Cook, provides a detailed peer compensation analysis that is used to inform the CEO compensation level and other plan design elements. We are the largest domestic publicly traded company in the recreational marine industry, with total revenues significantly higher

than other publicly traded U.S. recreational boat manufacturers, and as a result, there are no direct competitors in the compensation peer group. Criteria used to identify the peer group include:

Size —
Companies with revenues that generally range from one-half to three times our total annual revenue or market capitalization
Business Focus —
Publicly traded companies in similar industries
Consistency —
The peer group should be relatively stable. Companies historically have been eliminated if they were acquired or if their revenue or market cap falls outside the referenced range
FW Cook led an analysis to assess the appropriateness of the peer group during 2023 ahead of 2024 compensation planning decisions. The analysis resulted in the addition of Stanley Black and Decker to the Company’s peer group and the removal of Tenneco, following its transition to a private company during 2022.

46 | 2025 Proxy Statement — Executive Compensation |

For all NEOs other than the CEO, we assess the competitiveness of executive compensation every two years. In 2023, this assessment was conducted using survey data purchased from Willis Towers Watson. Each position is benchmarked based on scope of responsibilities, revenue size of the applicable business unit, and level within the organizational hierarchy. We design our target pay mix and total compensation opportunities to approximate the median of the market, taking into consideration the executive tenure, skill set, and precision of the benchmark, among other factors, when determining target opportunity. In 2023, we completed a competitive benchmark assessment which confirmed that, on average, our target total direct compensation (base salary, annual bonus, and long-term incentives) for senior management positions, including the NEOs, approximates the median of competitive practice. We will expect to conduct an updated benchmarking assessment during 2025.

Internal Equity

We establish compensation ranges for positions with similar characteristics and scope of responsibility, including NEO positions. Balancing competitiveness with internal equity helps support management development and movement of talent throughout our worldwide operations. Differences in actual compensation between employees in similar positions result from individual performance, tenure in role, future potential, and division financial results. This approach also helps promote talented managers to positions with increased responsibilities and provides meaningful developmental opportunities for our employees.

Reward Corporate, Division, and Individual Performance

Recognizing Company and individual performance in compensation helps reinforce the importance of working together and furthers our pay-for-performance philosophy. For the NEOs with division responsibility, a portion of the BPP incentive is tied to division financial performance, but a majority is tied to overall

enterprise results. For 2024, we did not fund incentives for NEOs as we did not achieve Company performance goals set at the beginning of the year.

What Is Rewarded?

We design NEO compensation to reward achievement of budgeted financial results, namely Earnings Per Share (EPS), Free Cash Flow (FCF), Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) – for business unit participants only, Cash Flow Return on Investment (CFROI), Operating Margin, Brunswick total shareholder return (both absolute and on a relative basis), and individual performance.

Achievement of Targeted Results

We established the 2024 BPP annual incentive formula to recognize and reward outstanding performance by both the overall Company and our divisions. Specifically, the BPP for the NEOs provides that funding is based on the achievement of enterprise EPS and FCF, and division-specific EBIT as shown in the following charts, which include the BPP structure for 2024 as well as the plan design application applicable to each NEO based on time spent in their respective roles during the year.

1 | As a result of the August 2024 management succession activities, Ms. Denari moved to the Navico Group incentive formula, and Ms. Preisser moved to the Boat Group incentive formula.

The Compensation Committee believes that EPS, FCF and division EBIT are appropriate measures to use in our annual incentive plan. Earnings figures, specifically EPS, are widely tracked and reported by analysts and used as a measure to evaluate our performance. FCF is a metric that is important to shareholders and key to business operations and capital strategy. Division EBIT is important for the Division NEO as it provides a line of sight and accountability for business unit performance and contributes to overall earnings performance.

Each NEO also participates in the Performance Share plan, which rewards performance based on the achievement of both CFROI and Operating Margin over a three-year period, subject to a potential modifier at the end of the performance period based on Brunswick’s three-year TSR performance against the TSR of the companies within S&P 400 Consumer Discretionary Index. For more details, please see page 51.

The Compensation Committee believes that both CFROI and Operating Margin are appropriate within the long-term Performance

Share plan to measure how effectively we manage our cash and business to create longterm sustainable value for our shareholders. Our grants of Performance Shares and RSUs inherently reward absolute TSR because the ultimate earned value of each share will depend on our TSR during the performance/ vesting period. In addition, the number of Performance Shares actually earned will depend on our relative TSR performance against the TSR Comparator Group. We use absolute and relative TSR metrics because they align the earned compensation amounts with our market performance and our shareholders’ experience.

Individual Performance

Individual performance affects compensation decisions. As part of the compensation planning process, managers have the ability to adjust certain elements of compensation based on the individual’s attainment of annual goals and performance against critical competencies.

The Compensation Committee assesses the CEO’s performance with input from all members of the Board of Directors. The CEO assesses performance of other NEOs, with review by the Compensation Committee.

Compensation Elements

We structure our compensation to reflect our business objectives and compensation philosophy. The particular elements that comprise our compensation programs for senior executives are summarized below along with an explanation of why we selected each compensation element, how the amount and formula are determined, and how decisions regarding that compensation element fit into our overall compensation objectives and programs.

Base Salary

Base salary is fixed compensation for our NEOs. It is designed to provide a minimum level of pay that reflects each executive’s position and scope of responsibility, leadership skills, experience, and individual performance, as demonstrated

48 | 2025 Proxy Statement — Executive Compensation |

over time. When establishing an executive’s base salary, we also target the median pay level within the market for positions with similar responsibilities and business size. A competitive base salary is critical to attracting and retaining the executives needed to lead the business.

We review salaries on an annual basis to review competitiveness with the external market for executive talent, reflect individual performance, and are internally equitable in relation to other Brunswick executives. We make salary adjustments on a periodic basis in response to market practices and to provide merit increases. Additionally, the base salary component serves as the foundation of executives’ total pay, as incentives and benefits are generally computed as a function of base salary, which allows us to link performance and pay. As illustrated by the following chart, the average merit increase, excluding promotional or market adjustments, of NEO salary from 2022 to 2024 was 3.9%.

| 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | Avg.
Foulkes | 4.0% | 4.0% | 4.3% | 4.1%
Gwillim | 4.5% | 4.0% | 3.7% | 4.1%

| 2 | Mr. Buelow was not an NEO in 2022 or 2023. Therefore, this table does not include 2022 or 2023 data for him.

Annual Incentive Plan

Our annual incentive plan, the BPP, is the primary compensation element used to reward accomplishments against established business goals within a given year.

We set the BPP funding targets based on budgeted performance for the year, as approved by the Board of Directors. The BPP limits funding to no more than 200% of target funding, with the Compensation Committee approving enterprise and division plan metric amounts within a range from 0% to 200% based on its review of performance against pre-established

targets. For 2024, the plan included a threshold payout level for bonus awards of 25% of enterprise-wide performance achievement. Target funding is equal to salary paid in the year multiplied by the target BPP percentage for each participant. For 2024, the percentage of salary targets under the BPP for NEOs ranged from 77% to 150%, which reflected increases in target cash incentive opportunities for Messrs. Foulkes and Buelow based on a review of market practices, and Mses. Denari and Preisser based on an increased level of responsibility with the August management succession activities.

We determine individual awards using: overall funding as approved by the Compensation Committee, the individual’s pro-rata portion of approved funding, and other factors deemed to be relevant. For 2024, performance did not meet the threshold required to support funding under the plan. As such, the payout for each NEO was 0%. The performance measures required to support funding for each NEO in 2024 were:

Performance Metric* | Threshold | Target | Maximum
Adjusted EPS – Enterprise | $5.95 | $6.75 – $8.00 | $8.75
FCF – Enterprise | $205M | $325M – $475M | $595M
Boat Group Adjusted EBIT | $86M | $110M – $130M | $154M
Navico Group Adjust EBIT | $60M | $84M – $104M | $128M
Mercury Adjusted EBIT | $586M | $634M – $696M | $744M

| * | The performance measures required to support funding for all NEOs in 2024 included the metrics listed in the chart above, which were consistent with our external financial reporting, with additional adjustments for certain items, including acquisitions, restructuring, exit, and impairment charges, and other unusual items.

In 2024, our BPP incentive plan target employed a range of performance to reward target performance, with a “flat-spot” approach for 100% payout and linear curves outside the flat spots. This flat-spot approach allows us to address market uncertainty while rewarding continued exceptional operating performance.

| Executive Compensation — 2025 Proxy Statement | 49

Annual incentive targets are set at the beginning of the performance period based on the forecasted plan for the year. The enterprise 2024 adjusted EPS and Free Cash Flow targets utilized wider “flat-spots” than our 2023 target “flat-spots”. This flat spot approach is consistent with setting prior year BPP targets. In addition, the flat spot approach aligned with our January 2024 earnings guidance which considered the continued impact of uncertainties in the macroeconomic conditions on our consumers and markets in which we participate.

The BPP plays an important role in our overall compensation structure, as it signals “what is important” and “what is expected” for the year from the standpoint of corporate, division, and/ or individual results. Additionally, the BPP serves to focus executives on achieving current objectives, which are deemed necessary to attain long-term goals, and it establishes appropriate performance and annual incentives by rewarding divisions and individuals within those units for actual performance.

The BPP terms and conditions include a provision to provide a pro-rata payment for those who meet the Rule of 70 or Age 62 (rule defined under the “Rule of 70 or Age 62” section on page 58) and retire during the second half of the plan year, subject to Committee approval for NEOs. Providing a pro-rata bonus payment (distributed at the same time as active employee bonus awards) provides flexibility for the timing of retirements and enables the Company to effectively transition key successors.

The design of the 2025 BPP award is generally similar to that of 2024.

Long-Term Incentives

We continually monitor the appropriateness of our long-term incentive plans, taking into consideration both competitive practice and what would drive the most appropriate behavior of the participants. To reinforce the use of performance-based compensation, certain senior executives, including the NEOs, receive their long-term incentive opportunity as:

The use of Performance Shares and RSUs in our long-term incentive mix is designed to align our incentive program with competitive pay practices, reinforce pay for performance, and encourage retention.

We base the size of long-term incentive awards for NEOs on a fixed dollar target that is established every one to two years based on competitive benchmark data. The market median for long-term incentives for each NEO’s position determines a basis for the dollar value of the equity target, while also considering executive experience, capabilities, individual performance, key talent retention, and future organization succession when determining award levels. For Mses. Denari and Preisser, there was a one-time enhancement to their 2024 annual grants to take into account outstanding individual performance and alignment with continued growth and retention within Brunswick. These amounts were generally less than one-third of their target annual value, an appropriate level as determined by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee. We determine the actual share award amounts for each NEO using a Monte Carlo valuation for Performance Shares and the Company’s stock price on the date of the grant for RSUs.

50 | 2025 Proxy Statement — Executive Compensation |

Performance Shares

In 2024, we granted all NEOs Performance Share awards. The 2024 Performance Shares are earned at the end of a three-year performance period based on achievement of two financial metrics, with payout between 0% and 200% of the target opportunity. Seventy-five percent of the award is earned based on three-year annual average CFROI achievement, and 25% is earned based on three-year annual average Operating Margin attainment. The level of performance required for target payout is based on three-year strategic plan targets. The Compensation Committee believes these targets are challenging yet reasonably attainable with strong management performance. The final payout at the end of the three-year period may be increased or decreased by an additional 20% based on Brunswick’s three-year TSR performance against the TSR of the S&P 400 Consumer Discretionary Index. Performance in the bottom quartile against the TSR comparator group reduces the Performance Share award payout by 20%, and performance in the top quartile increases the Performance Share award payout by 20%, with a maximum payout of 200% of target. Performance between the 25th and 75th percentile of the TSR comparator group results in no modification of the award payout.

We believe the S&P 400 Consumer Discretionary Index is an appropriate comparison group for Brunswick as it is a broad, externally set index with companies in similar consumer industries. We determine the comparator group at the beginning of the award period and evaluate final performance at the end of the three-year period.

The design of the Performance Share award provides multiple benefits, including management focus on the success of key strategic initiatives and their impact on CFROI and Operating Margin metrics, as well as strengthening the alignment of management incentives with long-term shareholder interests through use of the relative TSR modifier at the conclusion of the three-year performance period.

For 2024, Brunswick implemented a flat-spot for the 100% payout with linear curves outside of the flat spot for each performance metric. We believe this flat-spot approach is appropriate for Performance Share targets given the dynamic market in which we operate, while rewarding strong business performance.

The design of the 2025 Performance Share award is generally similar to that of 2024.

Completed 2022-2024 Performance Share Award

NEOs earned the 2022 Performance Share award at the completion of a three year performance period which ended on December 31, 2024. The plan design of these awards is similar to that of the 2024 Performance Share award described above, but without the target flat spot. The targets required to support funding for all NEOs for the 2022-2024 performance period were:

Performance Metric | Threshold | Target | Maximum
CFROI (75%) | 14.5% | 20.5% | 26.5%
Operating Margin (25%) | 11.0% | 16.0% | 21.0%

We set targets based on the forecast over a three-year plan period. The CFROI target was set lower than the 2021 target to reflect recently completed acquisitions as well as capital spending increases over the projected period to support capacity and new product investments in our business.

Based on performance against these targets, the Compensation Committee approved an initial share determination of 9.0% of target opportunity. TSR performance against the established peer group for the performance period resulted in Company performance between the 25 th and 75th percentile of the peer group. Therefore, this did not result in the additional modification of +/-20 percent of the award. The final award payout was 9.0%.

Restricted Stock Units

In addition to Performance Shares, we grant RSUs to the NEOs. We believe that RSUs are an important component of our compensation structure because each award increases linkage to shareholder interests by rewarding stock price appreciation and tying wealth accumulation to performance. Additionally, RSUs help reinforce team performance, encourage senior executives to focus on long-term performance, and function as a retention incentive through the vesting period.

Share Ownership Requirements

In order to ensure continual alignment with our shareholders, we maintain share ownership requirements for our officers. This share ownership policy calculates minimum required ownership levels as a multiple of each officer’s base salary.

The current NEO share ownership requirements for our actively serving NEOs are as follows:

Tier I
Management Level: Chief Executive Officer
NEO: Foulkes
Ownership Requirement: 5.0 Times Base Salary

Tier II
Management Level: Chief Financial Officer and Designated Executive Officers
NEO: Gwillim, Denari, Preisser, Buelow
Ownership Requirement: 3.0 Times Base Salary

Officers who do not meet the ownership requirements must retain shares having a value equal to 50% of the after-tax profit from the Common Stock acquired under our equity plans (Retention Ratio). For purposes of calculating compliance with the requirements, “shares owned” include shares directly owned, shares owned by immediate family members residing in the same household, shares held in trust, share equivalents held in our tax-qualified defined contribution plans and deferred compensation plans, and RSUs. Outstanding Performance Shares and unexercised Stock Options do not count as “shares owned.” For those officers

approaching retirement, ownership requirements are reduced as follows: 80% of target for those age 63; 60% of target for those age 64; and 50% of target for those age 65 and older.

The Compensation Committee reviews compliance with these share ownership requirements on an annual basis effective as of December 31. All NEOs are currently in compliance with the stated requirements. Please see the Narrative to Director Compensation Table on page 36 for information regarding share ownership guidelines for Directors.

Clawbacks

The Compensation Committee can require the repayment of all or a portion of previous BPP awards as it deems appropriate in the event of certain misconduct, including misconduct that causes a restatement of financial results. In addition, for those who have entered into Terms and Conditions of Employment with Brunswick, including each of the NEOs, the Compensation Committee has expanded the types of payments the Company can recover in the event of a violation of the restrictive covenants set forth in the Terms and Conditions of Employment to include any severance payments received by the executive and any gain realized as a result of the exercise or vesting of equity awards beginning 12 months prior to termination. In addition, in July 2023, the Board adopted a new clawback policy that provides for the recovery of certain incentive compensation from our current and former executive officers in the event of certain financial restatements, as required by the Dodd-Frank Act and corresponding New York Stock Exchange Listing Standards.

Anti-Hedging And Anti-Pledging Policy

No Director, NEO, or other employee may engage in hedging or monetization transactions or similar arrangements with respect to Common Stock, including the purchase or sale of puts, calls, or options on Common Stock (other than options granted by Brunswick), or the use of any other derivative instruments to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of the Common Stock. In addition, no Director, NEO, or other employee may pledge Common Stock as collateral.

Post-Employment Compensation

Post-employment compensation elements that are not currently offered to salaried employees in general are summarized below.

Plan/Participant(s) | Description
Brunswick Restoration Plan All NEOs | The Restoration Plan is a non-qualified plan that provides a retirement benefit consistent with that of employees who are not affected by the IRS compensation and benefit limits. The Restoration Plan provides employees with covered compensation or retirement plan contributions above IRS qualified defined contribution plan limits with the opportunity to receive the full amount of their intended retirement benefits. If an employee elects to participate in the Restoration Plan, 401(k) contributions and Brunswick’s match on these contributions above the IRS limit are credited to this plan. In addition, Brunswick’s retirement profit sharing contributions for eligible employees are automatically credited to their Restoration Plan accounts.

Perquisites And Other Benefits

We extend certain benefits to NEOs that we do not offer to salaried employees in general. These programs help NEOs enhance their |  | understanding of our products, protect their physical health, and maximize their productivity.

Perquisites/Benefits | Description
Executive Product Program All NEOs | The product program is designed to encourage the use of Brunswick products to enhance understanding and appreciation of our businesses and identify product and business development opportunities. The program provides a product allowance equal to $35,000 for each participant. We do not reimburse the participant for the tax liability associated with the program. The allowance may be applied toward the purchase of Brunswick products at the discounted rates established pursuant to the Brunswick Employee Purchase Program, which is available to all Brunswick employees, as well as any freight costs, parts and accessories, service fees, and other expenses related to the ownership of the Brunswick products purchased.
Executive Physical Program All NEOs | We provide a physical examination program to senior executives that is intended to protect the health of such executives and our investment in our leadership team. The Compensation Committee requires senior executives to have an annual physical examination and, as part of this program, they have immediate access to healthcare providers.
Personal Aircraft Use Foulkes | The CEO may use the Company aircraft for personal use on a limited basis. This benefit allows for the effective use of the CEO’s limited personal time. There is a maximum allowance for this benefit of $50,000 per year. Other NEOs may occasionally use the Company aircraft for personal use with prior approval from the CEO.

| Executive Compensation — 2025 Proxy Statement | 53

Terms and Conditions of Employment

All NEOs are parties to agreements setting forth their terms and conditions of employment (Agreements). The Agreements memorialize the “at will” nature of the employment relationship, and describe each executive’s duties, compensation, benefits, and perquisites. Additionally, the Agreements consolidate the restrictive covenants that exist during and after employment (e.g., non-competition, confidentiality, non-solicitation). Finally, the Agreements establish and limit the compensation and benefits to which an executive is entitled in the event of termination.

We believe that offering Agreements to our executives helps to encourage the retention of executive experience, skills, knowledge, and background for the benefit of the Company, and the efficient achievement of our longterm goals and strategy. Additionally, the Agreements reinforce and encourage the executives’ continued attention and dedication

to duties without the distraction arising from the possibility of a Change in Control. The Agreements do not provide excise tax gross-ups.

Determining Executive Compensation

Decisions with respect to specific BPP awards, equity awards, and base salary increases for the current year are normally made at the first Compensation Committee and Board meeting of each year. At this meeting, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors also make decisions with respect to the prior year’s performance and BPP funding. Base salary increases are generally effective as of the first full pay period in April.

The Compensation Committee reviews and approves equity grant terms and conditions and grant size for NEOs and other senior executives at its first meeting of the year, which is generally held following our public disclosure of our financial results for the prior year.

Human Resources and Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation Committee reviewed and discussed this Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management.

Based on that review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors of Brunswick Corporation

that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and the Company’s Proxy Statement to be filed in conjunction with the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting.

| c | Personal Use of Company Aircraft: Mr. Foulkes utilized the Company aircraft for personal use on a limited basis in 2024. This incremental cost to the Company for use of the corporate aircraft is based on the variable operational costs of personal flights, including fuel, maintenance, flight crew travel expense, catering, communications, and fees, including flight planning, ground handling, and landing permits. Occasionally, a spouse or other guests may accompany officers on the Company aircraft when the aircraft is already scheduled for use and can accommodate additional passengers. In those cases, there is no aggregate incremental cost to the Company and, as a result, no additional amount is reflected in the 2024 Summary Compensation Table for such use.

| d | Our NEOs are eligible to receive an executive physical at the Company’s expense under the physical examination program for senior executives. Due to healthcare privacy reasons, we have assigned the same value to each of the NEOs regardless of whether the NEO used the benefit. For further details, please see page 53.

Equity Compensation Plan Information and Awards

Brunswick granted Performance Shares and RSUs to all NEOs in 2024 pursuant to the Brunswick Corporation 2023 Stock Incentive Plan. Performance Shares are generally granted annually and, if earned, typically vest 100% at the end of a three-year performance period. Brunswick generally grants RSUs annually which, starting in 2024, vest ratably in three equal annual installments over the three-year period. RSU awards granted prior to 2024 vest 100% on the third anniversary of the date of grant. The terms of the awards reflect the use of the “Rule of 70 or Age 62” (as described below), along with the inclusion of an additional provision that would pro-rate the grant in the event of termination before December 31 in the year the grant is awarded, provided the participant had met the appropriate retirement definition in the terms and conditions of the award. Providing for a “prorated” grant serves to keep the decision about retirement timing independent of the vesting schedule of equity-based compensation. Of the NEOs, as of December 31, 2024, Messrs. Foulkes and Buelow meet the Rule of 70 or Age 62 provision.

Please see the “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” section on page 61 for a description of the treatment of equity awards following a qualifying termination of employment or a Change in Control.

Award Treatment Upon Termination

The terms and conditions of RSUs and Performance Shares generally provide for forfeiture of the award if an executive terminates employment before the end of the vesting period, except if: the executive meets the Rule of 70 or Age 62, which is defined as either: (i) the sum of the individual’s age plus years of service is equal to or greater than 70 or (ii) the individual is age 62 or above with at least three years of consecutive service from latest hire date; or if the executive is involuntarily terminated (not due to Cause) and does not meet the Rule of 70 or Age 62. Details on award treatment are described in the following section.

Rule Of 70 or Age 62

Once an executive meets the Rule of 70 or Age 62, if employment is terminated (other than for cause or due to death or permanent disability), the applicable awards are treated as follows:

| • | Performance Shares: If termination occurs on or after December 31 of the year the grant is awarded, the grantee will receive the entire award at the end of the performance period, calculated as if the grantee had remained employed throughout the entire performance period and based on actual performance. If termination occurs before December 31 in the year the grant is awarded, the grantee will receive a pro-rata portion of the earned award at the end of the performance period based on actual performance.
| • | RSUs: If termination occurs on or after December 31 of the year the grant is awarded, the award will be distributed ratably in equal annual installments over the three-year period from grant date. If termination occurs before December 31 in the year the grant is awarded, a pro-rata portion of the award will be distributed ratably in equal annual installments over the three-year period from grant date.

Involuntary Separation

(not due to Cause)

The equity award terms and conditions provide for pro-rata vesting of outstanding equity awards earned by individuals who were involuntarily terminated (not due to Cause) by the organization and do not meet the retirement provision of Rule of 70 or Age 62. The pro-rata vesting calculation is based on the earned amount of the award determined by the length of service from the date of grant or prior vesting date for ratable RSUs to separation date over the length of the applicable performance/vesting period and would be released at the normal release date (at the same time as active employees). This applies to both RSUs and Performance Share awards, with the earned Performance Share award released based on actual plan performance. We believe this is a fair and consistent way to treat individuals who may be separated as a result of an organization restructuring and is aligned with broader competitive practice.

Please see the “2024 Grants of Plan-Based Awards” section of this Proxy Statement for a detailed description of awards granted to the NEOs during 2024.

Narrative To Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Tables

The Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation tables show amounts deferred in 2024 under the Restoration Plan (non-qualified plan to provide for contributions in excess of IRS limits), and the 2005 Automatic Deferred Compensation Plan and includes previous deferrals.

Under the Restoration Plan, participants may defer up to 40% of their base salary and BPP awards. These deferrals are credited with earnings and losses based on the rate of return of mutual funds selected by the participant. The investment options and Company matching formula mirror those of the qualified 401(k) plan, which the participant manages in the same manner. Brunswick contributes to this plan according to the following formula:

| • | One dollar for every dollar contributed by the employee, up to 3% of annual pay, and 50 cents for every dollar on the next 2%, plus an annual retirement profit sharing contribution of up to 9% based on Company performance. Distributions under the Restoration Plan will be made on the last business day of the month after the six-month anniversary from the participant’s date of termination.

Under the 2005 Automatic Deferred Compensation Plan, participants were required to defer certain compensation in excess of $1.5 million to protect the tax deductibility to the Company of such compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. For cash balances, deferred cash equivalent balances are credited with: (i) an interest rate equal to the greater of the prime rate at JP Morgan Chase plus two percent, or Brunswick’s short-term borrowing rate; or (ii) returns on securities selected by the executive. For amounts deferred in stock, the account is credited with the number of share units equal to the number of shares of Company stock as of the date on which the shares would otherwise have been paid. Distributions of deferrals are made as soon as administratively practicable after the six-month anniversary of the participant’s date of termination.

This plan has been amended to cease deferrals of compensation earned on or after January 1,

2018, except for incentive awards that were outstanding prior to November 2, 2017. All grandfathered incentive awards are no longer outstanding and therefore, there will be no future deferrals into the Plan.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Brunswick has entered into severance and Change in Control agreements which are incorporated in the Terms and Conditions of Employment (Agreements) with each currently serving NEO.

Below is a discussion of the benefits that our NEOs who were actively employed with the Company on December 31, 2024 would have received upon a Change in Control or termination of employment under various circumstances on such date.

Terms and Conditions of Employment

Each Agreement confirms that employment is at-will and outlines each NEO’s roles and responsibilities and compensation, benefits, and eligibility for certain perquisites provided in exchange for their services. The Agreements also contain provisions regarding termination of employment and reflect a “double-trigger” Change in Control severance and equity provision (effective upon termination of employment by the Company following a Change in Control of the Company) for all NEOs, including the CEO.

Change in Control and Severance

Each NEO is entitled to certain severance benefits in the event of a Change in Control (as defined below), if Brunswick terminates his or her employment for reasons other than for Cause (as defined below) or disability or if the executive terminates for Good Reason (as defined below):

| • | Qualifying termination within 24 months following a Change in Control:

| - | Severance payment of three times for Mr. Foulkes, and two times for the other NEOs the sum of: (i) annual salary; (ii) the larger of targeted annual award under BPP for the year of termination or the year in which the Change in Control occurs;

| Executive Compensation — 2025 Proxy Statement | 61

and (iii) the Company’s 401(k) match, retirement profit sharing contribution, and other Company contributions made on his or her behalf to the Company’s tax-qualified and non-qualified defined contribution plans during the 12-month period prior to the date of termination

| - | All equity awards held by the executive will become fully vested and, if applicable, immediately exercisable and will remain outstanding pursuant to their terms

| - | Other benefits (including the continuation of medical, dental, vision, and prescription coverage) for up to the length of the severance period

• | Qualifying termination other than following a Change in Control:

| - | Severance payment equal to two times for Mr. Foulkes and one-and-one-half times for the other NEOs the sum of: (i) annual salary; and (ii) the Company’s 401(k) match, retirement profit sharing contribution, and other Company contributions made on his or her behalf to the Company’s tax-qualified and non-qualified defined contribution plans during the 12-month period prior to the date of termination. The CEO is guaranteed an annual BPP award equal to two times target for the year of termination, and any other NEO’s award under the BPP can be made at the CEO’s discretion

| - | Other benefits (including the continuation of medical, dental, vision, and prescription coverage) for up to 24 months for the CEO and up to 18 months for other NEOs

| - | All equity awards held by the executive vest according to the terms and conditions of the underlying plans

In addition to the payments described above, in each scenario, the NEO would be entitled to receive any annual BPP award earned for the preceding year that had not yet been paid at the time of termination as well as outplacement services.

All executives at Brunswick who have an Agreement, including each NEO, are not entitled to indemnification or any “gross-up” of taxes imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code on “excess parachute payments” (as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code). Instead, such executives will

either be required to pay the excise tax or have their payments reduced if it would be more favorable to them on an after-tax basis.

Brunswick may terminate the Agreements upon six months’ notice, except that after a Change in Control, Brunswick may not terminate the Agreements until the second anniversary of the Change in Control.

The Agreements contain non-competition and non-solicitation restrictive covenants effective during the two-year period following termination of employment for the CEO, and for 18 months following termination for all other NEOs, and non-disclosure and non-disparagement restrictive covenants effective at all times. Upon termination following a Change in Control, the non-competition and non-solicitation restrictive covenants are not applicable. In the event of a violation of the restrictive covenants, we may recover any severance payments received by the executive and any gain realized as a result of the exercise or vesting of equity awards beginning 12 months prior to termination and ending on the date that the Company makes full recovery of such payments.

The terms of the Agreements require the NEOs to execute a general release. Severance benefits are not available for those individuals terminating due to retirement, death, long-term disability, or for Cause.

Termination for “Cause” means the NEO’s:

| • | Conviction of a crime, including by a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, involving theft, fraud, perjury, or moral turpitude

| • | Intentional or grossly negligent disclosure of confidential or trade secret information of the Company or a related company to anyone not entitled to such information

| • | Willful omission or dereliction of any statutory or common law duty of loyalty to the Company or a related company

| • | Willful and material violation of the Company’s Code of Conduct or any other written Company policy

| • | Repeated failure to carry out the material components of the executive’s duties despite specific written notice to do so by the CEO (or in the case of the CEO, the Board) other than any such failure as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness

62 | 2025 Proxy Statement — Executive Compensation |

“Good Reason” means the Company taking any of the following actions or omissions without the NEO’s express written consent:

• | Material breach of provisions of the Agreement

• | Failure to provide benefits generally provided to similarly situated senior executives

• | Reduction in authority or responsibility

• | Reduction in compensation not applicable to similarly situated senior executives

• | Relocation beyond a reasonable commuting distance

• | Following a Change in Control, failure to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to assume and agree to abide by employment agreement terms

The Good Reason provision protects executives from being effectively demoted or having their pay reduced in an effort to force them to quit.

“Change in Control” means: (i) the acquisition of 25% or more of the outstanding voting stock of Brunswick by any person other than an employee benefit plan of Brunswick; (ii) the failure of the incumbent Board of Directors to constitute a majority of Brunswick’s Board, excluding new directors who (a) are approved by a vote of at least 50% of the members of the incumbent Board and (b) did not join the Board following a contested election of directors; (iii) a merger of Brunswick with another corporation, other than a merger in which Brunswick’s shareholders receive at least 60% of the voting stock outstanding after the merger or a merger effected to implement a recapitalization of Brunswick in which no person acquires more than 25% of Brunswick’s voting stock and the Board is comprised of a majority incumbent directors; or (iv) a complete liquidation or dissolution of Brunswick.

Payment Obligations Under Termination Scenarios

The following tables show our estimated payment obligations resulting from involuntary termination, other than for death, disability, or

cause, before and after a Change in Control, using December 31, 2024 as the hypothetical termination date.

1 | Amounts in this column represent severance payments equal to two times the sum of salary, BPP, and defined contribution plan contributions for Mr. Foulkes and one and one-half times the salary and defined contribution plan contributions for the other NEOs.
2 | Amounts in this column represent the estimated present value of Company-provided outplacement services and continuation of benefits provided during the severance period, based on current COBRA rates.
3 | Amounts in this column represent target payment of BPP. Per footnote 1, the severance column includes the BPP for Mr. Foulkes as it is guaranteed per his agreement. For NEOs other than Mr. Foulkes, payment of the BPP upon a termination preceding a Change in Control is at the discretion of the CEO.
4 | Amounts in this column represent severance payments equal to three times for Mr. Foulkes and two times for the other NEOs, the sum of the NEO’s salary, target BPP, and defined contribution plan contributions. Payments are reduced, where appropriate, in order to avoid excise taxes under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code so as to place the NEO in a “best after tax” situation, however, the amounts reported in the table above do not reflect the application of any reduction in benefits to avoid the imposition of excise taxes under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.
5 | Amounts in this column reflect the long-term incentive awards for which vesting would be accelerated following termination upon a Change in Control in accordance with the terms and conditions of the awards.

CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure

For 2024, the ratio of the CEO’s total compensation, as reported in the “Total” column of the 2024 Summary Compensation Table ($10,991,417), to the median worker’s total compensation ($52,866) is 208:1. The ratio is a reasonable estimate, calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules.

2024 Median Employee Review

We evaluated our workforce as of October 1, 2024 and determined that there were no changes to our employee composition or compensation arrangements that would warrant a re-calculation of the median employee or would significantly affect our pay ratio calculation. Accordingly, under applicable SEC rules, we are permitted to use the same median employee that we used for purposes of preparing our 2022 and 2023 pay ratio disclosures. However, the median employee that was identified for the 2022 and 2023 pay ratio disclosures terminated during 2024. Because of this, we selected an employee from the 2022 analysis using the methodology described below as the median employee for this year’s Proxy Statement. We calculated the 2024 compensation details for the median employee utilizing the methodology used for NEOs for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table to determine the pay ratio.

Median Employee Determination

As indicated above, the median employee that was used for the 2022 and 2023 pay ratio disclosures terminated during 2024, so we selected a similarly compensated individual from the 2022 analysis to be the median employee for this year’s Proxy Statement. To determine the median employee in 2022, we completed the data

gathering and analysis for our global employee population. We used a measurement date of October 1, 2022, and a total compensation definition consisting of actual base pay earnings, overtime earnings, and annual incentives paid to all employees from the beginning of 2022 through the measurement date. We annualized pay for those who started work or were on an unpaid leave of absence during 2022. We gathered data for our entire global workforce to identify the median employee, except for the 287 employees who were previously employed by Freedom Boat Club of Tampa Bay, which we acquired in May 2022, and the 113 employees who were previously employed by J&R Marine Holdings, which we acquired in April 2022.

Brunswick Total Rewards Philosophy Overview

As part of Brunswick’s total rewards philosophy, we strive to attract and retain our workforce with market competitive compensation and benefits which will motivate performance and provide alignment with the Brunswick strategic goals for the organization. We work to be an employer of choice and provide a differentiated and fulfilling employment experience to each of our approximately 15,000 talented employees located in more than 25 countries, of which approximately 60% are hourly, manufacturing, or distribution employees. Part of that strategy is to provide a compensation package that is determined based on the individual’s role within the organization. We set pay levels based on the respective labor markets where our various employee segments operate in order to attract and retain the best talent for each role within the organization. We believe that our current talent and workforce compensation strategy meets the needs of the business, shareholders, and employees.

Relationship Between Pay and Performance

We believe the “Compensation Actually Paid” in each of the years reported above and over the three-year cumulative period are reflective of the Compensation Committee’s

emphasis on pay-for-performance as the “Compensation Actually Paid” fluctuated year-over-year, primarily due to the result of our stock performance and our varying levels of achievement against pre-established performance goals under our annual and long-term incentive programs.

| Executive Compensation — 2025 Proxy Statement | 67

The following is a list of financial performance measures, which in the Company’s assessment represent the most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the Named Executive Officers for 2024:

•   Adjusted Earnings Per Share
•Free Cash Flow
•Earnings Before Interest and Taxes
•Cash Flow Return on Investment
•Operating Margin
•Total Shareholder Return

Proposal 2

Advisory Vote to Approve the Compensation

of Our Named Executive Officers

| Voting Recommendation:
Your Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the approval of compensation of our Named Executive Officers.

What am I voting on? Shareholders are being asked to approve the compensation of our NEOs on an advisory basis.

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Board of Directors seeks your advisory vote to approve our compensation programs for our Named Executive Officers (commonly referred to as a “say-on-pay vote”). We encourage shareholders to review the Compensation Discussion and Analysis on pages 42-68 of this Proxy Statement. We ask that you approve the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the accompanying tables contained in this Proxy Statement. Because this vote is advisory in nature, it will not be binding on the Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee, or the Company; however, the Board and the Compensation Committee will closely review the voting results and carefully consider the outcome of the vote when making future decisions regarding executive compensation. Consistent with the direction of our shareholders at our 2023 Annual Meeting, the say-on-pay vote will continue to be held on an annual basis. At our 2024 Annual Meeting, we received overwhelming shareholder approval on the “say-on-pay” proposal (95% of votes were cast for the proposal). We were pleased with this significant vote of confidence in our pay practices and made no direct changes to our compensation programs as a result of this vote. |  | We have a long-standing tradition of delivering financial results for our shareholders and our customers and aligning pay with those results. We believe we are a market leader in the marine industry, with business locations in many countries. Our executive team continues to successfully execute its growth plan, generating strong free cash flow and demonstrating outstanding operating leverage. We have designed our executive compensation programs to drive strong financial results and to attract, reward, and retain a highly experienced, successful senior management team to achieve our corporate objectives and increase shareholder value. We believe our programs are structured in the best manner possible to support our Company and our business objectives and we believe that they strike an appropriate balance between implementing responsible, measured pay practices and providing effective incentives designed to encourage our executives to perform at their best. This balance is illustrated by the following factors, which we urge you to consider: • A majority of our executive compensation is structured as performance-based incentives. Our compensation programs are substantially linked to our key business objectives, so that if the value we deliver to our shareholders declines, so does the compensation we deliver to our executives.

70 | 2025 Proxy Statement — Proposal 2 |

• We have multiple-year award and payout cycles which serve as a retention tool and mitigate risk associated with short-term focus. • We respond to economic conditions appropriately, such as reducing or eliminating bonuses of the NEOs in years when performance is not strong. • We monitor the executive compensation programs and pay levels of companies of similar size and industry so that our compensation programs are comparable to, |  | and competitive with, our peer group and general market practices. • The Board, the Compensation Committee, the Lead Independent Director, our Chief Executive Officer and Board Chair, and our Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer engage in a rigorous talent review process annually to address succession planning and executive development for our Chief Executive Officer and other key executives.

Accordingly, we ask our shareholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Summary Compensation Table, and the other related tables and disclosure in this Proxy Statement.”

Report of the Audit and Finance Committee

The following is the Audit and Finance Committee report with respect to Brunswick’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Overview of Audit and Finance Committee Function The Audit and Finance Committee oversees Brunswick’s financial reporting process. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal controls. Audit and Finance Committee Charter The Committee operates pursuant to a written charter, a copy of which is available on Brunswick’s website, www.brunswick.com. Independence of Audit and Finance Committee Members The Board of Directors has determined that all members of the Audit and Finance Committee are independent within the meaning of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual. |  | Review with Management The Audit and Finance Committee has reviewed and discussed Brunswick’s audited financial statements with management. Review and Discussions with Independent Auditors The Audit and Finance Committee is responsible for the appointment, termination, compensation, and oversight of Brunswick’s independent auditors. Deloitte & Touche, LLP (Deloitte) was Brunswick’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and has served in that capacity since 2014. The Audit and Finance Committee has discussed with Deloitte, which is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of Brunswick’s audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles and on the effectiveness of Brunswick’s internal control over financial

reporting, the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC, and other professional standards and regulatory requirements currently in effect.

The Audit and Finance Committee has also received the written disclosures from Deloitte required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding Deloitte’s communications with the Committee concerning independence and has discussed with Deloitte its independence from Brunswick. The Audit and Finance Committee has also reviewed the non-audit services Deloitte provided and has considered whether the provision of those services was compatible with maintaining Deloitte’s independence.

Conclusion

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit and Finance Committee recommended to Brunswick’s Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in Brunswick’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 for filing with the SEC.

Finance Committee:

David Singer (Former Chair)*

Reginald Fils-Aime

Lauren Flaherty

Joseph W. McClanathan

* | Mr. Singer was a member of the Audit and Finance Committee throughout 2024. He rotated off the committee in March 2025, and Ms. Cooper and Mr. Whisler were appointed to the Audit and Finance Committee at that time. As Ms. Cooper and Mr. Whisler did not serve on the committee at the time the Audit and Finance Committee recommended that the audited financial statements be included in the 2024 Form 10-K, they are not signatories to this report.

Fees Incurred For Deloitte Services Brunswick incurred the following fees for services rendered by Deloitte, our current independent registered public accounting firm, during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024:

| 2024 | 2023 |  |  |
Audit Fees1 | $5,692,000 | $5,465,000 |  |  |
Audit-Related Fees2 | $52,000 | $8,000 |  |
Tax Fees3 | $569,000 | $420,000 |  |  |
All Other Fees | — | — |  |  |

1 | Audit Fees: Professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements included in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, reviews of the financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, accounting and financial reporting consultations, comfort letters, and statutory audits.
2 | Audit-Related Fees: Includes other attestation services.
3 | Tax Fees: Includes tax compliance and consulting services.

Approval of Services Provided by Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm The Audit and Finance Committee is responsible for pre-approving all audit and non-audit services that our independent registered public accounting firm performs; accordingly, the Committee pre-approved Deloitte’s services in 2023 and 2024. The Audit and Finance Committee has adopted a two-tiered approach for pre-approving fees. Each year it approves an overall budget for specified audit and non-audit services, after which the Audit and Finance Committee must pre-approve either: (i) any proposed specified service that would result in total fees exceeding the budget; or (ii) any proposed service not specified in the budget.

| Voting Recommendation:
Your Board of Directors and the Audit and Finance Committee recommend a vote FOR the approval and ratification of the appointment of Deloitte as the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

What am I voting on? Shareholders are being asked to approve the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP (Deloitte) as the independent registered accounting firm for Brunswick.

The Audit and Finance Committee has appointed Deloitte as the independent registered public accounting firm for Brunswick and its subsidiaries for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Although it is not required to seek shareholder approval of this appointment, the Board of Directors has determined that, in keeping with the principles of sound corporate governance, the appointment will be submitted for ratification by the shareholders. The Board of Directors and the Audit and Finance Committee recommend that shareholders ratify the appointment of Deloitte as the independent registered accounting firm for Brunswick and its subsidiaries for the fiscal year ending |  | December 31, 2025. If our shareholders do not ratify the appointment, the Audit and Finance Committee will investigate the basis for the negative vote and will reconsider its appointment in light of the results of such investigation. Representatives of Deloitte will attend the Annual Meeting and will be afforded an opportunity to make a statement, if they desire to do so, and to respond to questions from shareholders. 2025 will be the twelfth year that Deloitte is anticipated to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for Brunswick and its subsidiaries.

Each holder as of the Record Date is entitled to one vote for each share of Brunswick Common Stock held. Who can participate in the Annual Meeting? Only shareholders who owned Common Stock as of the Record Date, or their duly appointed proxies, are entitled to participate in the Annual Meeting.

To participate in the Annual Meeting, including to vote your shares electronically and submit questions, you will need the 16-digit control number included on your proxy card or on your Notice. If you do not have your control number at the time of the meeting, you will still be able to attend virtually, but you will not be able to vote or ask questions. During the 30 minutes prior to the meeting start time and throughout the meeting, you will be able to vote and submit questions to management through

82 | 2025 Proxy Statement — Frequently Asked Questions |

the virtual meeting website. Management will try to respond to questions from shareholders in the same way as it would if we held an in-person meeting. We do not place restrictions on the type or form of questions that may be asked; however, we reserve the right to edit or reject redundant questions or questions that we deem inappropriate. We will generally answer questions as they come in and address those asked in advance as time permits. Shareholders will be limited to one question each, unless time otherwise permits.
Who will count the votes?
Brunswick’s tabulator, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., will count the votes. Representatives of Brunswick’s Law Department will act as inspectors of election.
How do I vote?
If you hold your shares through a broker, bank, or other nominee, that institution will instruct you as to how your shares may be voted by proxy, including whether telephone or Internet voting options are available.
If you hold any shares in the Brunswick Retirement Savings Plan or the Brunswick Rewards Plan, you must direct the trustee of these plans how to vote these shares by following the instructions on your Notice for voting by telephone at 1-800-690-6903 or via the Internet at www.proxyvote.com, or by signing, dating, and mailing in a proxy card. The deadline for

voting shares held in the Brunswick Retirement Savings Plan or the Brunswick Rewards Plan is 11:59 p.m. EDT on May 2, 2025. The trustee will vote these shares as you direct. The trustee will vote allocated shares of Common Stock for which proxies are not received in direct proportion to voting by allocated shares for which proxies are received. |
Can I change my vote after I have voted? |
You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting, including voting via the Internet or by telephone (only your latest Internet or telephone proxy that is timely submitted prior to the meeting will be counted), by signing and returning a new proxy card with a later date, or by participating in and voting at the Annual Meeting. However, your attendance at the Annual Meeting will not automatically revoke your proxy unless you vote again at the meeting or specifically request in writing that your prior proxy be revoked. |
How will my shares be voted if I sign, date, and return a proxy card? |
If you sign, date, and return a proxy card and indicate how you would like your shares to be voted, your shares will be voted as you have instructed. If you sign, date, and return a proxy card but do not indicate how you would like your shares to be voted, your proxy will be voted in accordance with the Board’s recommendations. With respect to any other matter that is properly brought before the meeting, the proxy holders will vote the proxies held by them in accordance with their best judgment. |

| Frequently Asked Questions — 2025 Proxy Statement | 83

| What vote is required to approve each matter to be considered at the Annual Meeting?
| Election of Directors
| Brunswick has adopted a majority voting standard for the uncontested election of Directors and, therefore, the Director nominees shall be elected to the Board of Directors if they each receive a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the voting results. Under Brunswick’s majority voting standard for uncontested elections, if the number of votes cast “For” a Director nominee’s election does not exceed the number of votes cast “Against” election, then the Director nominee must tender his or her resignation from the Board promptly after certification of the shareholders’ vote. The Board will decide within 120 days of that certification, through a process managed by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and excluding the Director nominee in question, whether to accept the resignation. If any one or more of the Director nominees is unable to serve, votes will be cast, pursuant to authority granted by the enclosed proxy, for the alternate individual or individuals the Board designates.
| Advisory Vote to Approve the Compensation of our Named Executive Officers
| The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares having voting power and represented virtually in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be required for the approval of the non-binding resolution relating to the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (NEOs). Because approval of this resolution requires a majority of the shares having voting power and represented at the Annual Meeting, abstentions will have the same effect as votes against approval. Broker non-votes will have no impact on the voting results.
| Ratification of the Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
| The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares having voting power

and represented virtually in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be required for the ratification of the Audit and Finance Committee’s appointment of Deloitte as Brunswick’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Because the ratification of the independent registered public accounting firm requires a majority of the shares having voting power and represented at the Annual Meeting, abstentions will have the same effect as votes against ratification. Because we expect that brokers will have discretionary authority to vote on this proposal, we do not expect any broker non-votes.
What constitutes a quorum?
The Annual Meeting will be held only if a quorum is present. A quorum will be present if a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the Record Date are represented, virtually in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting. Shares represented by properly completed proxy cards or ballots marked “Abstain” or returned without voting instructions are counted as present for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present.
What is a broker non-vote?
Broker non-votes occur when a broker lacks discretionary authority to vote on a proposal and the beneficial owner has not provided instructions about how to vote. Brunswick will treat broker non-votes as present to determine whether or not there is a quorum at the Annual Meeting, but they will not be treated as having voting power on the proposals, if any, for which the broker indicates it does not have discretionary authority. This means that broker non-votes will not have any effect on whether a proposal passes.
We expect that brokers will have discretionary authority with respect to the proposal to ratify the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm but will lack discretionary authority with respect to the other proposals. Accordingly, broker non-votes may occur as to the other proposals.

84 | 2025 Proxy Statement — Frequently Asked Questions |

Will my vote be kept confidential?

Yes. As a matter of policy, shareholder proxies, ballots, and tabulations that identify individual shareholders are kept confidential and are available only to our tabulator and inspectors of election, who are obligated to keep your vote confidential.

What if other matters come up during the Annual Meeting?

If any matters other than those referred to in the Notice properly come before the meeting, the individuals named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote the proxies held by them in accordance with their best judgment. We are not aware of any business other than the items referred to in the Notice that may be considered at the meeting.

Who pays to prepare, mail, and solicit the proxies?

Brunswick pays all of the costs of preparing, mailing, and soliciting proxies. We ask brokers, banks, voting trustees, and other nominees and fiduciaries to forward notices and, when requested, proxy materials to the beneficial owners and to obtain authority to execute proxies. We reimburse the brokers, banks, voting trustees, and other nominees and fiduciaries upon request. In addition to solicitation by mail, telephone, facsimile, Internet, or personal contact by our designated officers and employees (who will not receive additional compensation for their solicitation efforts), we have retained the services of Georgeson Inc. to solicit proxies for a fee of $12,000 plus expenses.

Why did I receive a one-page notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of printed proxy materials?

Pursuant to SEC rules, we are providing access to our proxy materials via the Internet and have elected to use the SEC’s notice and access rules for soliciting proxies. Accordingly, we are sending a Notice to all of our shareholders as of

the Record Date. All shareholders may access our proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice. You may also request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. You can find instructions regarding how to access our proxy materials via the Internet and how to request a printed copy in the Notice. Additionally, by following the instructions in the Notice, you may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis. Choosing to receive your future proxy materials by email will save us the cost of printing and mailing documents to you and will reduce the impact of our Annual Meetings on the environment. If you choose to receive future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email next year with instructions containing a link to those materials and a link to the proxy voting site. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in effect until you terminate it.

Multiple individuals residing in my home are beneficial owners of shares of Common Stock. Why did we receive only one mailing?

Brunswick is sending only one envelope with multiple Notices to you if you share a single address with another shareholder, unless we have received instructions to the contrary from you. This practice, known as “householding,” is designed to eliminate duplicate mailings, conserve natural resources, and reduce our printing and mailing costs. We will promptly deliver a separate Notice to you upon written or verbal request. If you wish to receive separate mailings in the future, you may contact Brunswick Shareholder Services by telephone at 847-735-4374, by mail at 26125 N. Riverwoods Blvd., Ste 500, Mettawa, Illinois 60045, or by email at shareholders.services@brunswick.com. If you currently receive multiple Notices, you can request householding by contacting Shareholder Services as described above. If you own your shares through a broker, bank, or other nominee, you can request householding by contacting the holder of record.

In order to better align Brunswick’s reported results with the internal metrics used by Brunswick’s management to evaluate business performance as well as to provide better comparisons to prior periods and peer data, non-GAAP measures exclude the impact of purchase accounting amortization related to acquisitions, among other adjustments.

Brunswick does not provide forward-looking guidance for certain financial measures on a GAAP basis because it is unable to predict certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. These items may include restructuring, exit, and impairment costs, special tax items, acquisition-related costs, and certain other unusual adjustments.
