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.

Who will count the votes?

Brunswick’s tabulator, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., will count the votes. Representatives of Brunswick’s Shareholder ServicesLegal Department will act as independent inspectors of election.

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 as follows: for the election of the fivethree director nominees named in this Proxy Statement; for the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers; and for the ratification of the Audit Committee’s appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.2016. 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.

What are the Board’s recommendations?

The Board of Directors recommends a vote for the election of the fivethree director nominees named in this Proxy Statement. The Board recommends a vote for the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers. The Board and the Audit Committee recommend the ratification of the Audit Committee’s appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.2016.

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 fivethree director nominees shall be elected to the Board of Directors if they each receive a majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting. 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. Because Brunswick has adopted a majority voting standard for the uncontested election of directors, abstentions will have no effect on the election of director nominees. If any one or more of the fivethree director nominees is unable to serve, votes will be cast, pursuant to authority granted by the enclosed proxy, for the alternate individual or individuals designated by the Board.

Advisory Approval of Executive Compensation. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares having voting power, represented in person or by proxy, will be required for the approval of the non-binding resolution relating to the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. 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.

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, represented in person or by proxy, will be required for the ratification of the Audit Committee’s appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as Brunswick’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.2016. Because the vote to ratify 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.

BRUNSWICK CORPORATION-20152016 Proxy Statement9

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 92,886,91190,768,926 shares of Brunswick Common Stock issued and outstanding on the Record Date are represented, 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. In addition, broker non-votes will be counted as present for quorum purposes.

How will broker non-votes be treated?

Broker non-votes occur when a broker lacks discretionary authority to vote on a proposal and the beneficial owner has not provided an indication as to 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 lack discretionary authority with respect to the election of directors and the advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, and accordingly broker non-votes will have no impact on such proposals, but brokers will have discretionary authority with respect to ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm.

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 Brunswick’s tabulator and inspectors of election, who are obligated to keep your vote confidential.

Who pays to prepare, mail and solicit the proxies?

Brunswick pays all of the costs of preparing, mailing and soliciting proxies. Brunswick asks 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. Brunswick will 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 its designated officers and employees (who will not receive additional compensation for their solicitation efforts), Brunswick has retained the services of Georgeson Inc. to solicit proxies for a fee of $9,900 plus expenses.

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. Brunswick is not aware of any business other than the items referred to in the Notice that may be considered at the meeting.

BRUNSWICK CORPORATION-20152016 Proxy Statement10

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, adopted by the SEC, Brunswick is required to provide access to its proxy materials via the Internet and has elected to use the SEC’s Notice and Access Rules for soliciting proxies. Accordingly, Brunswick is sending a Notice to all of its shareholders as of the Record Date. All shareholders may access Brunswick’s proxy materials on the Web sitewebsite referred to in the Notice. Shareholders may also request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. Instructions onregarding how to access Brunswick’s proxy materials via the Internet and how to request a printed copy can be found in the Notice. Additionally, by following the instructions in the Notice, shareholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by e-mail on an ongoing basis. Choosing to receive your future proxy materials by e-mail will save Brunswick the cost of printing and mailing documents to you and will reduce the impact of the Company’s Annual Meetings on the environment. If you choose to receive future proxy materials by e-mail, you will receive an e-mail 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 e-mail will remain in effect until you terminate it.

Multiple individuals residing in my home are beneficial owners of shares of Brunswick 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 Brunswick’s printing and mailing costs. We will promptly deliver a separate Notice to you upon written or verbal request. If you wish to receive duplicate mailings in the future, you may contact Brunswick Shareholder Services by telephone at 847.735.4294, by mail at 1 N. Field Court, Lake Forest, IL 60045, or by e-mail atservices@brunswick.com.services@brunswick.com. If you currently receive multiple Notices, you can request householding by contacting Brunswick 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.

Director Independence

The Principles require that independent directors must 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). In addition, the NYSE standards provide that a director is not independent if:

Applying the NYSE standards described above, and considering all relevant facts and circumstances, the Board has made an affirmative determination that none of the non-management directors has a material relationship with Brunswick and that all non-management directors, comprised of Mr. Archibald, Ms. Cooper, Mr. Everitt, Mr. Fernandez, Mr. Singer, Mr. Stayer, Ms. Warner, Mr. Whisler and Mr. Wood, and Mr. Zimmerman, are independent.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Overview

The Board of Directors has adopted written Principles and Practices (the Principles) to assist it in the performance of its duties and the exercise of its responsibilities. The Principles are available on Brunswick’s Web site,website,www.brunswick.com/company/governance/principlespractices.php, or in print upon request by any Brunswick shareholder. The Principles set the framework for Brunswick’s governance structure. The Board believes that good corporate governance is a source of competitive advantage for Brunswick. Good governance allows the skills, experience and judgment of the Board to support Brunswick’s executive management team, enabling management to improve Brunswick’s performance and maximize shareholder value.

As set forth in the Principles, the Board’s responsibilities include overseeing and directing the Company’s management in building long-term value for shareholders. The Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s senior management team are responsible for managing Brunswick’s day-to-day business operations and for presenting regular updates to the Board about the Company’s business. The Board offers the Chief Executive Officer and management constructive advice and counsel and may, atin its sole discretion and at the Company’s expense, obtain advice and counsel from independent legal, financial, accounting and other advisors.

The Board of Directors met five times during 2014.2015. Our directors collectively attended 9498 percent of the 20142015 Board and Committee Meetings,committee meetings, with each director attending more than 7585 percent of the aggregate of the Board meetings and meetings of Committeescommittees of which he or she was a member during 2014.2015. The Principles provide that all members of the Board are requested to attend Brunswick’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders. All members of the Board then in office except Mr. Everitt, Mr. Whisler and Mr. Wood, attended the 20142015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

The non-management directors regularly meet in executive session without members of management present. The Lead Independent Director, Manuel A. Fernandez, presides and acts as the Board’s leader when it meets in executive session or when the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is unable to lead the Board’s deliberations. Additionally, the Lead Independent Director serves as a liaison between management and the Board and is responsible for consulting with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer regarding Board and Committeecommittee meeting agendas and Board governance matters.

Brunswick Ethics Program

In 2013, Brunswick adopted theBrunswick Code of Conduct (the Code), which updated and replaced the formal Codeprior code of Ethicsethics adopted in 2000 entitledMaking the Right Choice: The Brunswick Guide to Conduct in the Workplace.2000. The Code applies to all employees, officers and directors of the Company, 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, Vice President — Finance and Controller and other Brunswick employees designated by the Board, 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. These policies are overseen and administered by theThe Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Audit Committee and the Company’s Ethics Office.Office oversee and administer these policies. The Code and the Financial Officer Code of Ethics are available atwww.brunswick.com/company/ethics/codeofethics.php, and bothany Brunswick shareholder may be obtainedobtain them in print upon request by any Brunswick shareholder.request. If Brunswick grants a waiver of the policies set forth in the Code or the Financial Officer Code of Ethics, itor 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 its Web siteour website atwww.brunswick.com.

Director Nomination Process

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things, identifying, screening, personally interviewing and recommending director nominee candidates to the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers nominees on the basisbases of their integrity, experience, achievements, judgment, intelligence, personal character, ability to make independent analytical inquiries, willingness to devote adequate time to Board duties and the likelihood that they will be willing to serve on the Board for a sustained period. The Company does not have a formal policy with respect to diversity as a consideration in the identification of nominees for the Board of Directors. However, the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believe that it is important that the Board reflect different viewpoints and, therefore, as set forth in the Principles, additional consideration is given to achieving an overall diversity of perspectives, backgrounds and experiences in Board membership. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may retain a third-party search firm to assist it with identifying qualified candidates that meet the needs of the Board at that time.

BRUNSWICK CORPORATION - 20152016 Proxy Statement    18

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider qualified director candidates who are suggestedshareholders suggest by shareholders in written submissions to Brunswick’s Secretary at Brunswick Corporation, 1 N. Field Court, Lake Forest, Illinois 60045; Attention: Corporate Secretary’s Office (fax: 847.735.4433; e-mailcorporate.secretary@brunswick.com). Any recommendation submitted by 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 Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will apply the same standards in considering director candidates recommended by shareholders that it applies to other candidates.

In addition to recommending director candidates to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, shareholders may also, pursuant to procedures established in the Company’s By-laws, directly nominate one or more director candidates to stand for election at an annual or special meeting of shareholders. For an annual meeting of shareholders, a shareholder wishing to make such a nomination 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 not 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 either 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 the Company’s By-laws.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board believes that the combined role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, together with the appointment of a Lead Independent Director by the other independent directors, a substantial majority of independent directors, and the use of regular executive sessions of non-management directors, achieves an appropriate balance between the effective development of key strategic and operational objectives and independent oversight of management’s execution of those objectives.

Additionally, the Board believes that because the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is the director most familiar with the Company’s business, industry and day-to-day operations, he is well-positioned to help the Board focus on those issues of greatest importance to the Company and its shareholders and to assist the Board with identifying Brunswick’s strategic priorities, as well as the short-term and long-term risks and challenges facing the Company. While independent directors have invaluable experience and expertise from outside the Company and its businesses, giving them different perspectives regarding the development of the Company’s strategic goals and objectives, the Chief Executive Officer is well-suited to bring Company-specific experience and industry expertise to his discussions with non-management directors.

Shareholder Communications with the Board

The Principles provide that Brunswick shareholders or other interested parties may, at any time, communicate in writing with the Board, the Lead Independent Director or the non-management directors as a group, by writing to such director(s) at:to: Brunswick Corporation, 1 N. Field Court, Lake Forest, IL 60045; Attention: Corporate Secretary’s Office (fax: 847.735.4433; e-mailcorporate.secretary@brunswick.com).

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

Pursuant to its charter, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors is tasked with the recommendation and review of all corporate governance principles, policies and programs designed to ensure the Company’s compliance with high ethical standards and with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including those relating to conflicts of interest and other business practices that reflect upon the Company’s role as a responsible corporate citizen. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees the implementation of theBrunswick Code of Conduct, which contains Brunswick’s Conflictsconflicts of Interest Policy.interest policy. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reports on these compliance matters to the Board of Directors, which is the body ultimately responsible for overseeing the Company’s ethical and legal compliance, including information involving transactions with “related persons.”

The Company’s 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 percent of any class of voting securities of the Company and the immediate family members of any such persons. On a regular basis, the Company requests that its directors and executive officers complete a questionnaire including questions designed to identify related persons and any potential related person transactions. The Corporation’s General Counsel and Controller, or their delegates, review and update a listing of those individuals identified as related persons on at least an annual basis and more often, as warranted. According to the Related Person Transactions Policy, a related person transaction includes any transaction valued at over $120,000certain 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 this 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 be submitted toand advise the Company’sChair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for approval or ratification.

In 2014,Since January 1, 2015, no transaction washas been identified as a related person transaction and, therefore, no transaction was referred to the Board or any Committee of the Board committee for review.review in that time period.

Risk Management

The Board of Directors has an active role in overseeing effective management of the Company’s risks and regularly reviews information regarding the Company’s credit, liquidity, cash flow and business operations, including any associated risks. The Board conducts an annual, in-depth review of the Company’s business, which includes detailed analysis and consideration of strategic, operational, financial, competitive, compliance and compensation risk areas. Although the Board as a whole has responsibility for risk oversight, each Board Committee addresses relevant risk topics as part of its Committee responsibilities. The Committees oversee the Company’s risk profile and exposures relating to matters within the scope of their authority and provide periodic reports to the full Board about their deliberations and recommendations. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to the Company’s executive compensation plans and its overall compensation philosophy.

Historically, in an ongoing effort to manage risk, Brunswick has maintained a level of financial prudence associated with its compensation programs, which it plans to continue. In assessing whether risks arising from Brunswick’s compensation programs or policies were reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company, senior management reviewed the Company’s compensation programs and practices for all employees, the potential risk exposure presented by those programs and practices, and the factors, tools and processes that mitigate those risks. As part of its 20142015 review, management considered the compensation arrangements currently in place for employees and officers and, following this review, management determined, and the Compensation Committee agreed, that none of Brunswick’s compensation programs or policies creates risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

As part of this review, management presented a summary to the Company’s Compensation Committee for discussion. The summary listed each compensation program and policy applicable to the various groups of Brunswick employees and officers, the potential risks presented by that program or policy and the risk mitigation tools or processes employed by the Company to mitigate the related risks.

The compensation programs and policies covered by the summary included payments in the forms of base salaries, annual incentive compensation and equity-based awards. The risk mitigation tools covered by the summary included the following: (1) the plans were capped at maximum payout levels that, while creating incentives for superior business performance, were not so great as to entice undue risk-taking; (2) the performance metrics to achieve above-target payouts under the plans were not unduly leveraged (that is, small increments of above-target performance would not result in disproportionate increases in calculated plan bonus amounts); and (3) the plans contain negative discretion provisions that can be (and have been) exercised to reduce or eliminate calculated payout results. This mechanism places final control of plan payouts with the Company’s Board of Directors.

BRUNSWICK CORPORATION-20152016 Proxy Statement    20

In addition to senior management’s review, members of Brunswick’s Human Resources Department conduct an annual assessment of all executive and non-executive incentive plans to ensure that they are aligned with the Company’s strategic business objectives. In 2014,2015, in addition to its standard review process, Brunswick’s Human Resources representatives conducted a full review of the potential risks associated with the Company’s incentive plans and engaged in the following analysis:

Further, the Compensation Committee considered other compensation risk mitigants such as the Company’s meaningful stock ownership guidelines and requirements, clawback policy and anti-hedging and anti-pledging policy.

The Human Resources representatives considered all of the foregoing information, specifically assessing each of the Company’s incentive plans to identify any provisions that might cause employees to act in a manner that would create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. No such provisions were identified.

In addition, the Compensation Committee engages in a comprehensive annual review of the Brunswick Performance Plan (BPP), the Company’s primary annual incentive plan, and its performance measures. The Compensation Committee assesses the BPP in conjunction with the Company’s overall strategic business objectives, as well as its forecast and budget. In 2014,2015, the Committee also assessed each of the Company’s compensation programs, ensuring that they were consistent with and aligned with Brunswick’s short- and long-term business objectives. The Compensation Committee reviewed the 20142015 BPP and determined that its plan design would effectively encourage employees to engage in appropriate and responsible behavior without unnecessary risk-taking that could have a negative impact on the Company. In addition, the BPP contains a negative discretion clause that expressly empowers the Compensation Committee to limit reduce or eliminatereduce the BPP payout under the BPP’s formula, based on extenuating circumstances and business outlook.

The majority of Brunswick’s non-executive incentive plans adopt the BPP’s performance metrics, ensuring that the plans encourage and reward appropriate behavior throughout the organization. For those few incentive plans at the division level that do not mirror the BPP, Brunswick management performs a similar analysis of the plans on an annual basis in order to identify and remediate any potential negative behaviors that might result.

Deliver Strong Return to Shareholders

 

Brunswick’s compensation plans are intended to support its strategic focus and reward Company performance. Brunswick’s compensation philosophy is to encourage and reward the creation of sustainable, long-term shareholder value. From a shareholder perspective, Brunswick performed exceptionally well as illustrated by the one and three year total shareholder returnsreturn (TSR) of 12.477.3 percent and 188.0 percent respectively.for the three years ended December 31, 2015.

Consideration of 20142015 Executive Compensation Vote

 

At its 20142015 shareholder meeting, the Company received overwhelming shareholder approval of its “say on pay” proposal (98.8(97.13 percent of votes cast were cast for the proposal). The Company was pleased with this significant vote of confidence in its pay practices and nodid not make direct changes were made to the Company’sits compensation programs directly as a result thereof.of the vote. Nevertheless, the Company did make some changes to its compensation programs in 20142015 to further reinforce the Company’s pay for performancepay-for-performance philosophy and align management compensation with shareholder interests.

 

Specifically, as a way to deliver more tax efficient compensation to eligible participants, the Company sought and the shareholders approved a stock incentive plan intended to be compliant with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. This change is highlighted in more detail below.

Key Compensation Decisions in 20142015

 

Annual Incentive Plan

 

For 2014,2015, Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) was used as the funding metric under the Brunswick Corporation Senior Management Incentive Plan (SMIP), the Company’s Section 162(m) performance qualified annual incentive plan. Specifically, the SMIP pool was funded based on 2% of EBIT for the CEO and 1% of EBIT for each of the other NEOs. For purposes of distributing the funding earned under the SMIP, the Brunswick Performance Plan (BPP) is used. For 2014,2015, the Company designed the BPP to include divisional EBIT to reward division performance, while still keeping a portion of the award tied to overall Brunswick Earnings Per Share (EPS) and Free Cash Flow (FCF) results.. Specifically, the 20142015 BPP for the NEOs contained performance measures attributable to each of the divisions in addition to corporate EPS. Actual performance in 20142015 exceeded the performance targets set for the 20142015 BPP, and the Company paid aggregate awards under the plan were paid at approximately 112105 percent of target opportunity. For additional Informationinformation on the annual incentive plan, see “Achievement of Targeted Results” on page 29 below.

 

Long-Term Incentives

In 2015, the Company granted performance-based equity in the form of performance shares (Performance Shares) to certain key senior executives, including each of the NEOs. Starting with the awards granted in 2015 performance underlying the awards is measured over a three-year performance period. These were the first awards granted under the Brunswick Corporation 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, which was approved by shareholders at the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting. The Company believes Performance Shares strengthen its pay-for-performance philosophy and align management’s long-term goals with the Company’s key strategic initiatives.

Additionally, the Company has introduced double-trigger Change in Control equity vesting provision for 2016 equity grants. The Company believes that this modification aligns with competitive best practice and shareholder interests.

Long-Term IncentivesPension Plan De-risking

 

At the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting, shareholders approved the Brunswick Corporation 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, which was designed with the goal of qualifying the performance based long-term incentives as “performance based” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. In 2014,2015, the Company granted performance-based equity inexecuted several strategies to de-risk its frozen defined benefit qualified pension plans, notably the formpayment of performance shares (Performance Shares)lump sum amounts to certain key officers of the Company, including each of the NEOs. The Company believes Performance Shares strengthen its pay-for-performance philosophy and align management’s goals with the Company’s key strategic initiatives.

Equity Award for Mr. Schwabero and Mr. Pfeifer

As a part of the Board’s succession planning process, in May 2014, Mr. Schwabero was promoted to President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, and Mr. Pfeifer was promoted to Vice President and President of Mercury Marine. In conjunction with their promotions, Mr. Schwabero and Mr. Pfeifer each received an increase to their annual long-term incentive target. As such, Mr. Schwabero and Mr. Pfeifer received an additional equity grant in May 2014 to recognize their increased targets. These awards were prorated for the balance of 2014. Future awards to Mr. Schwabero and Mr. Pfeifer will be consistent with their new long-term incentive target and will coincide with the regular annual grant, typically made in February of each year.

Termination Arrangements with Mr. Graves

Mr. Graves’s employment with the Company terminated on May 30, 2014, as part of the Company’s long-term succession process. In connection with Mr. Graves’s departure, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (Compensation Committee) determined that it would treat his outstanding equity awards as if the Rule of 70 or Age 62 applied to him at the time of his termination. See page 36 for additional information on the Rule of 70 or Age 62. This permitted Mr. Graves (i) to retain restricted stock unit awards, performance share unit awards and stock appreciation rights (SARs) that otherwise would have been forfeitedactive participants in connection with hisa plan termination, including Mr. Metzger, of their entire accrued benefit under the plan. The Company reduced plan liabilities by approximately $200 million as a result of these lump sum payments and (ii)other actions taken in 2014 to have a period of up to five years following his termination to exercise outstanding SARs. The Committee determined that these actions were appropriate given that the termination of Mr. Graves’s employment occurred in order to facilitate the Company’s long-term succession process, and were it not for this, Mr. Graves’s employment would have been expected to continue. See “Arrangement with Mr. Graves” on page 42 for additional information.pay terminated vested participants their full benefit.

 

Overall Philosophy and Objectives of Our Executive Compensation Programs

 

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

 

•	Alignment with Shareholders’ Interests- Reward performance in a given year and achievements over a sustained period that are aligned with the interests of our shareholders;
•	Motivate Achievement of Financial and Strategic Goals- Ensure that compensation structure reinforces achievement of business objectives and execution of Brunswick’s overall strategy;
•	Remain Competitive- Attract, retain and motivate the talent required to ensure Brunswick’s continued success; and
•	Reward Superior Performance- Reinforce Brunswick’s pay-for-performance culture.

 

Compensation Design Principles

 

In support of the objectives identified above, the framework of Brunswick’s executive compensation programs incorporates the following compensation design principles:

 

Focus on the Creation of Long-Term Shareholder Value

 

Brunswick’s senior executives are responsible for achieving long-term strategic goals. Accordingly, compensation is weighted towards rewarding long-term value creation for shareholders. For Mr. McCoy in 2015, approximately 6765 percent of targeted total compensation iswas based on long-term performance, and for our other NEOs, it iswas approximately 4952 percent. For Mr. McCoy, approximately 2021 percent of targeted total compensation iswas based on annual performance against established performance criteria, and for our other NEOs it iswas approximately 2523 percent. The balance consistsconsisted of base salary (13(14 percent for Mr. McCoy and 2625 percent for the other NEOs)NEOs in 2015).

 

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 our 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 performance-based or “at risk”,risk,” with such amounts constituting approximately 8786 percent of Mr. McCoy’s total compensation and approximately 7475 percent of total compensation for our other NEOs.NEOs in 2015.

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

Provide Incentives for Achievement of the Company’s Goals

 

In addition to achieving Brunswick’s long-term and strategic goals, the Company’s senior executives are charged with the responsibility for meeting the Company’s financial and operational goals. As a result, the Company has linked executive compensation to business performance by establishing measurable business metrics against which performance is measured, and which have been determined by the Board of Directors to behas determined are important to Brunswick’s key stakeholders.

 

The Company establishes variable compensation targets (including individual BPP targets) for NEOs and other employees, with reference to peer median total direct compensation (base salary plus annual bonus plus long-term incentive) minus base salary. This amount is then split between annual and long-term incentives at a ratio that the Compensation Committee feels is appropriate for a company like Brunswick.

 

Annual incentive metrics are based on a combination of division and overall Brunswick results. Long-term incentives are based on Brunswick’s consolidated results and share price.total shareholder return.

Competitive Compensation

 

Brunswick recognizes that, in order to attract and retain the level of talent that is essential to achieving its established objectives, it must maintain a competitive executive compensation program.

Each year, Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc., the Committee’s independent compensation consultant, provides a detailed analysisBrunswick’s, regarding proposed compensation levels for the CEO using the same peer group. Brunswick’s target pay mix and total compensation opportunities are designed to approximate the median of this peer group. In 2013, the Company completed the competitive benchmark assessment which confirmed that, on average, Brunswick’s target total compensation (base salary, annual bonus and long-term incentives) for the senior management positions, including the NEOs, approximates the median of competitive practice.CEO. Criteria used to identify the peer group include:

 

•	Size: Companies with revenues that generally range from one-half to two times Brunswick’s total annual revenue;
•	Business Focus: Publicly-traded manufacturing companies; and
•	Consistency: The peer group should be relatively stable. Companies historically have been eliminated if they no longer participated in the Aon Hewitt survey, were acquired or if their revenue exceeded two times Brunswick’s revenue.was outside the range referenced above.

 

Brunswick’s current peer group consistsin 2015 consisted of the following companies:

•	BorgWarner	•	Curtiss-Wright	•	Harley-Davidson	•	Mattel	•	SPX Corp
•	Briggs & Stratton	•	Dana Holding	•	Hasbro	•	Polaris Industries	•	Tenneco
•	Crane	•	Flowserve Corp	•	Jarden Corp	•	Snap-On Tools	•	Timken
				•	Leggett & Platt

 

Consistent with past practice, Brunswick assessed the appropriateness of the current peer group during 2013, with2015, which resulted in changes to the peer group composition. The result of these peer company changes will take effect for 2016 compensation benchmarking. The next review of the peer group is scheduled for 2015.2017.

 

Brunswick is the largest domestic, publicly-traded company in the recreational marine industry, with total revenues approximately 20 times those of the next largest publicly-traded U.S. recreational boat manufacturer as of December 31, 2014.2015. As a result, there are no direct competitors in the compensation peer group.

 

For all other NEOs, Brunswick assesses the competitiveness of executive compensation every two years using manufacturing industry survey data purchased from Aon Hewitt. Brunswick’s target pay mix and total compensation opportunities are designed to approximate the median of the market. In 2015, the Company completed the competitive benchmark assessment which confirmed that, on average, Brunswick’s target total direct compensation (base salary, annual bonus and long-term incentives) for the senior management positions, including the NEOs, approximates the median of competitive practice.

Internal Equity

 

Brunswick establishes compensation ranges for positions with similar characteristics and scope of responsibility, including NEO positions, even if such ranges differ somewhat from comparable positions at companies in our peer group. Balancing competitiveness with internal equity helps support management development and movement of talent throughout Brunswick’s worldwide operations. Differences in actual compensation between employees in similar positions result from individual performance, future potential and division financial results. This effort also helps Brunswick promote talented managers to positions with increased responsibilities and provides meaningful developmental opportunities.

 

Reward Corporate, Division and Individual Performance

 

Recognizing corporate, division and individual performance in compensation helps reinforce the importance of working together and furthers Brunswick’s pay-for-performance philosophy. For 2014,2015, Brunswick funded incentives for all participants based on the achievement of corporate and division performance goals and allocated incentives based on individual contributions. For those NEOs with division responsibility, incentives were focused on the financial performance of their divisions, but also included a significant portion tied to overall corporate results.

 

Managing Compensation in Cyclical Industries

Brunswick has a strong pay-for-performance culture and strives to establish consistent incentive performance targets and awards despite the cyclical nature of the industries in which it competes. Historically, the marine industry has tended to be negatively affected early in economic downturns and recovery occurs later than other industries during periods of economic expansion. As a result, Brunswick has experienced significant swings in funding from one performance period to another. Aggregate annual incentive funding, as a percentage of target from 2008 through 2014, ranged from a high of 149 percent of target to a low of 0 percent, with an average of 99 percent of target. For a given year, funding also can vary significantly between divisions and individuals based on performance.

What Is Rewarded?

 

Brunswick designs NEO compensation to reward achievement of budgeted financial results, namely EPS, EBIT, FCF and Cash Flow Return on Investment (CFROI), and Operating Margin, Brunswick stock price performancetotal shareholder return (both absolute and on a relative basis) and individual performance.

 

Achievement of Targeted Results

 

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

 

The Company established the 20142015 BPP annual incentive formula to recognize and reward outstanding performance by both the overall Company and by its divisions. Specifically, the BPP for the NEOs provides that funding is based on the achievement of corporate EPS and corporate FCF objectives, as well as division-specific EBIT. One exception is that for Performance Share participants, including allFor Corporate NEOs the corporate results component under the(Messrs. McCoy, Schwabero, Metzger and Lockridge), 2015 BPP is based solely on EPS performance so as to avoid duplication of performance metrics under the Performance Share award that rewards performance based on the achievement of CFROI, a free cash flow and capital employed metric.

For all other participants, corporate employees’ bonuses in 2014 werewas weighted 50 percent on overall Brunswick performance (25 percent based on the EPS metric and 25 percent based on the FCF metric)performance and 50 percent on the EBIT performance of the divisions. EachIn this calculation, each of the business unitsdivisions was weighted 12.5% of the division EBIT results until the date that the Bowling Retail sale purchase agreementequally weighted. Mr. Pfeifer’s 2015 BPP was executed. After that date, division EBIT results were split between the remaining three business units at 16.67%. Division participants are also weighted 50 percent on overall Brunswick EPS performance (25but the remaining 50 percent was based solely on Mercury Marine EBIT.

The following chart shows the relative weighting of the performance measures used under the BPP for NEOs.

		Corporate Results		Division Results
Corporate Participants		50% EPS		Boat Group		16.67% EBIT
				Mercury Marine		16.67% EBIT
				Life Fitness		16.67% EBIT
Division Participants		50% EPS		50% EBIT of their Division

Each of the NEOs also participate in the three year performance share plan which rewards performance based on the EPS metricachievement of both CFROI and 25 percentOperating Margin over a three-year period in addition to a modifier at the end of the three-year period based on Brunswick’s three year TSR performance against the FCF metric) and 50 percent on their respective division’s EBIT performance. TSR of certain companies in the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) “Leisure Products” sub-industry.

The Compensation Committee believes that EPS and division EBIT and FCF are appropriate measures to be used in our annual incentive plan. Earnings figures, specifically EPS, are widely tracked and reported by analysts and used as a measure to evaluate Brunswick’s performance. Division EBIT is important as it shows each division’s contribution to the Company’s overall earnings performance. Finally, FCF isBoth CFROI and Operating Margin are important because it measureswithin the Company’s cash-generating results and enableslong-term performance share plan to measure how effective the Company manages its cash and business to fund investments in future profitable growth initiatives and increase returns tocreate long-term sustainable performance for its shareholders.

 

The following chart showsOur 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 weighting ofTSR performance against other leisure products companies. Both absolute and relative TSR metrics are used because they align the earned compensation amounts with our market performance measures used under the BPP.and our shareholders’ experience.

Stock Price Appreciation

 

Stock price appreciation is a significant component of total shareholder return and thus shareholder value creation. Stock price appreciation affects the value of Brunswick’s equity grants, including Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs), Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), and Performance Shares.

 

Individual Performance

 

IndividualThe Company assesses individual performance is assessed via the Performance Management Process (PMP). The PMP was created to help employees better understand Brunswick and division-specific goals, and to define their role in and contribution towards achieving these goals. The Company believes that the PMP is an effective tool in assessing performance against individual goals.

 

Once Brunswick and division goals are established, salaried employees (including NEOs) work with their supervisors to set individual goals aligned with the Company’s strategic direction. Employees establish goals for specific initiatives, major responsibilities key to their positions and individual developmental requirements, and their managers identify specific core competencies that employees are expected to achieve. The Chief Executive Officer’s performance is jointly assessed by the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors with input from all members of the Board of Directors. PerformanceThe Chief Executive Officer assesses performance of other NEOs is assessed by the Chief Executive Officer with review by the Compensation Committee.

 

Individual performance affects base salary increases, annual incentives and equity grant decision-making. As part of the PMP process, managers have the ability to adjust all elements of compensation based on the individual’s attainment of annual goals and performance against critical competencies, which determines the content of the individual’s annual performance review and the overall PMP rating.

Compensation Elements

 

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

 

Base Salary

 

Base salary is fixed compensation for Brunswick’s NEOs. It is designed to provide a minimum level of pay that reflects each executive’s position and scope of responsibility, leadership skills and individual performance, as demonstrated over time. When establishing an executive’s base salary, the Company also targets the median pay level offered by the companies in its peer group for positions with similar responsibilities and business size. For a company in a cyclical business, such as Brunswick’s marine business, aA competitive base salary is important for attracting and retaining the executives needed to lead the business.

 

Brunswick reviews salaries on an annual basis to ensure they are externally competitive, reflect individual performance and are internally equitable in relation to other Brunswick executives. The Company makes 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 the Company to link performance and pay. As illustrated by the following chart, the average merit increase, excluding promotional or market adjustments, of NEO salary from 20122013 to 20142015 was 3.24.5 percent.

Annual Incentive Plan

 

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

 

Brunswick sets the BPP target funding based on planned performance for the year, as approved by the Board of Directors. The BPP limits funding to no more than 200 percent of target funding, with the Compensation Committee approving amounts within a range from 0 percent to 200 percent based on its review of the Company’s performance against pre-established targets. Target funding is equal to salary paid in the year multiplied by the target percentage for each participant. For 2014,2015, the percentage of salary targets under the BPP for NEOs ranged from 80 percent to 150 percent.

 

The Company determines individual awards using: overall funding as approved by the Compensation Committee; the individual’s pro-rata portion of approved funding as adjusted for individual performance; and other factors deemed to be relevant. For 2014,2015, the Compensation Committee approved payouts ranging from 5685 percent to 146139 percent of target opportunity. The performance measures required to support funding at 100 percent of target opportunity for all NEOs in 20142015 were earnings per shareEarnings Per Share of $2.27$2.77 and the following internal EBIT target levels for the business units: Mercury Marine: $298.0$327.1 million; Boat Group: $34.1$65.8 million; and Life Fitness: $112.4 million; and Bowling & Billiards: $33.2$125.3 million. The BPP plays an important role in the Company’s 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.

 

Long-Term Incentives

 

Brunswick continually monitors what might be the most appropriate design of its long-term incentive plans taking into consideration both competitive practice and what would drive the most appropriate behavior of the participants. Prior to 2010, SARs were identified as the sole award used to provide annual long-term incentive opportunities to better align the interests of management with those of shareholders. StartingSince then, there has been a shift in 2010, Brunswick adjusted its long-term incentive mix to 80 percent SARs and 20 percent RSUs, with further adjustments in 2011 to 70 percent SARs and 30 percent RSUs and in 2012 with the introduction of Performance Shares to one-third SARs, one-third RSUs and one-third Performance Shares.mix. To reinforce the use of performance-based compensation, since the 2013 annual grant, certain senior executives, including the NEOs, have had 50 percent of their target long-term incentive opportunity deliveredgranted in Performance Shares and the balance in RSUs. Mr. Pfeifer’s long-term incentive award for the February annual grant was delivered in one-third Performance Shares with the balance in RSUs as he was not an executive officer at the time of grant. For the May equity grant, which he received in conjunction with his promotion, the long-term incentive mix was the same as the rest of the NEOs at 50 percent Performance Shares and 50 percent RSUs. This progressive transition to incorporate RSUs and Performance Shares into the Company’s long-term incentive programmix was designed to better align the Company’s incentive program with competitive pay practices and to reinforce pay for performance and an element of retention due to the three-year cliff vesting schedule for RSUs and the cyclicality of Brunswick’s business.RSUs. The progression from 20102011 through 2015 of the Company’s mix of long-term incentives for the NEOs is shown on the graph below.following graph.

Performance Shares

In 2015, all NEOs were granted Performance Share awards. The 2015 Performance Shares are earned over a three-year performance period based on achievement of two financial metrics, with payout between 0 percent and 200 percent of the target opportunity. At the end of the three years, 75 percent of the award will be based on three-year average CFROI achievement and 25 percent will be earned based on

In 2014, all NEOs were granted Performance Share awards.three-year average Operating Margin attainment. The 2014 Performance Shares are earnedlevel of performance required for target payout is based on achievement of CFROI targets over a 12-month period with an additional two year vesting period. Payout of 50 percent to 150 percent of the target Performance Share award opportunity is based solely on performance against the CFROI criteria, with no payout if performance is below the threshold.three-year strategic plan targets. The CFROI target required to support funding at 100 percent of target opportunity for all NEOs in 2014 was 20.9 percent. Based on 2014 performance against CFROI targets, the Compensation Committee approved an initial share determination of 99 percent of target opportunity.believes these targets are challenging yet reasonably attainable. The final payout at the end of the three-year period may be increased or decreased by an additional 20 percent based on Brunswick’s three-year TSR performance against the TSR of certain companies in the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) “Leisure Products” sub-industry. Performance in the bottom quartile against the GICS comparator group reduces the Performance Share award payout by 20 percent and performance in the top quartile increases the Performance Share award payout by 20 percent.percent, with a payout cap of 200 percent of target. Performance between the 25^thand 75^thpercentile of the GICS comparator group results in no modification of the award payout. The TSR modifier does not apply todesign of the Performance Share awards for Mr. Pfeifer as he was not part of the population subject to this plan feature at the time of his grant.

In order to align with both competitive practice and the business’s strategic plan, the design of the 2015 Performance Share award is being revised whereby the award will be earned over a three-year performance period based on achievement of two financial metrics with a payout between 0 percent to 200 percent of the target opportunity. At the end of the three years, 75 percent of the award will be based on three-year average CFROI achievement and 25 percent will be earned based on three-year average Operating Margin attainment. The final payout at the end of the performance cycle may be increased or decreased by 20 percent based on Brunswick’s three-year TSR performance against the TSR of certain companies within the GICS comparator group, with a payout cap of 200 percent of target. The design of the 2015 Performance Share award will provideprovides multiple benefits, including focusing management on the success of key strategic initiatives via the CFROI and Operating Margin metrics, as well as strengthening the alignment with long-term shareholder interests with the increasedTSR modifier at the conclusion of the three-year performance period.

The Company revised the design of the 2015 Performance Share award from the 2014 award. The 2014 Performance Share award was based on achievement of CFROI targets over a 12-month period with an additional two-year vesting period. The final payout is then adjusted at the end of the three-year performance period lengthby relative TSR to three years, in addition to maintaininga comparator group. While the TSR modifier.modifier metric and design was maintained with the 2015 Performance Share award, the performance period for CFROI was lengthened to align executive focus with our long-term business strategy and shareholder interests. In addition, a three-year Operating Margin metric was incorporated into the 2015 Performance Share award.

 

Other Long-Term Incentives

 

In addition to Performance Shares, Brunswick currently utilizes RSUs. Brunswick believes that RSUs are an important component of its compensation structure because each award increases linkage to shareholders’ interests by rewarding stock price appreciation and tying wealth accumulation to performance. Additionally, RSUs help to reinforce team performance, encourage senior executives to focus on long-term performance and function as a retention incentive through the vesting period. Past long-term incentive awards have included SARs. The recently approved 2014 Stock Incentive Plan does not permit the “re-pricing” of stock options or SARs, including the cancellation of underwater stock options or SARs for cash or another award, without the approval of our shareholders. Although Brunswick believes SARs are an effective way to align executives with the shareholders, Brunswick has not granted SARs since 2013 and has, rather, granted a higher proportion of Performance Shares to better reinforce the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy.

 

The size of long-term incentive awards for NEOs areis based on the following factors:

 

•	Peer median total direct target compensation minus target cash compensation (base salary plus individual BPP target cash incentive targets). This determines a reference point for the dollar value of the total equity grant target and is consistent with targeting median pay for consistently solid Company and individual performance.
•	Grant size is based on a fixed dollar target that is established every two years when competitive peerbenchmark compensation information is updated. The actual share award amounts for each NEO are determined using a Black-Scholes-Merton valuation for SARs (when applicable), a Monte Carlo valuation for Performance Shares and the Company’s stock price on the date of the grant for RSUs.

 

Share Ownership Requirements

 

In order to ensure continual alignment with its shareholders, Brunswick maintains share ownership requirements for its officers. This share ownership policy calculates minimum required ownership levels as a multiple of the officer’s base salary.

 

The current share ownership requirements are as follows:

 

Tier		Management Level		NEO		Ownership Requirement
I		Chief Executive Officer		McCoy, Schwabero		5.0 times salary
II		Large Group Presidents, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officerand DesignatedExecutive Officers		Metzger, Pfeifer		3.0 times salary
III		Other Executive Officers		Lockridge		2.0 times salary
IV		Other Officers				1.0 times salary

 

Officers not meeting the ownership requirements will be required to retain shares having a value equal to 50 percent of the after-tax profit from the Common Stock acquired under our equity plans. 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 the Company’s tax-qualified defined contribution plans and deferred compensation plans and RSUs. Unexercised stock options and SARs and outstanding Performance Shares do not count as “shares owned.” For those officers approaching retirement, ownership requirements will be reduced as follows: 80 percent of target for those age 63; 60 percent of target for those age 64; and 50 percent of target for those age 65 and above.

 

The Compensation Committee reviews compliance with these share ownership requirements on an annual basis, with all NEOs currently in compliance with the stated requirements. Please see the Narrative to Director Compensation Table 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 deemedit deems appropriate by the Compensation Committee in the event of 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 recoverable by 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.

 

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.

 

Supplemental Pension Plan

 

Of the NEOs, only Mr. Metzger participates in, or has a balance in, the non-qualified defined benefit retirement plan (the Supplemental Pension Plan). Effective December 31, 2009, the Company froze the Supplemental Pension Plan and ceased all benefit accruals. Participation thereafter in any supplemental pension benefit has been through the Brunswick Restoration Plan.

 

The Supplemental Pension Plan ensures that employees with covered compensation or pension benefits above Internal Revenue Service (IRS) qualified defined benefit plan limits receive the full amount of their intended pension benefits. Pursuant to the Supplemental Pension Plan, the Company pays, on a non-qualified basis, the difference between an employee’s earned defined benefit pension and the level of benefits that is permissible by IRS qualified limits. The Supplemental Pension Plan provides a retirement benefit that is consistent with those who are not affected by the IRS compensation and benefit limits and reflects an individual’s full career and covered pay earned.

 

Brunswick Restoration Plan

 

All NEOs participate in the Brunswick Restoration Plan. The Restoration Plan ensures that employees with covered compensation or retirement plan contributions above IRS qualified defined contribution plan limits 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 variable retirement contributions for eligible employees are automatically credited to their Restoration Plan accounts. This is a non-qualified plan.

 

The Restoration Plan provides a retirement benefit consistent with that of employees who are not affected by the IRS compensation and benefit limits.

 

The 2005 Elective Deferred Incentive Compensation Plan

 

Mr. McCoy, Mr. Lockridge, Mr. Schwabero and Mr. Pfeifer currently maintain a balance withinbalances in the 2005 Elective Deferred Incentive Compensation Plan. The 2005 Elective Deferred Incentive Compensation Plan provided eligible employees the opportunity to save in a tax-deferred manner. In 2008, the Company suspended participation in the plan. The Compensation Committee will continue to assess the competitive and regulatory landscape to determine if future enrollment in this plan is warranted.

 

The 2005 Automatic Deferred Compensation Plan

 

The 2005 Automatic Deferred Compensation Plan defers payment of certain compensation that would otherwise be non-tax-deductible to Brunswick by reason of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code until six months after employment ends. The 2005 Automatic Deferred Compensation Plan preserves Brunswick’s ability to take a tax deduction for senior executives’ compensation. Senior executives are required to defer receipt of non-deductible compensation in excess of $1.5 million in order to limit non-deductible compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. FinancialFor amounts deferred in cash, financial returns on required automatic deferrals are based on either: (i) an interest rate equal to the greater of the prime rate at J.P. Morgan Chase plus two percentage points, or Brunswick’s short-term borrowing rate; or (ii) securities selected by the participant. The two percentage point increment is used to recognize that the NEO defers the receipt of earned compensation until sometime in the future, typically upon retirement or other termination of employment. 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. As of December 31, 2014,2015, Mr. McCoy, wasMr. Schwabero and Mr. Pfeifer were the only participant who hasparticipants with automatic deferrals under this plan.

 

Split-Dollar Life Insurance ReplacementPolicies

 

Of the NEOs, only Mr. McCoy, Mr. Metzger and Mr. Lockridge hadhas a Split-Dollar Life Insurance replacement policiespolicy (Replacement Policies) active in 2014.Policy). The Replacement Policies providePolicy provides an insured death benefit and allowallows for capital accumulation. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 prohibits loans to executive officers and, as a result of this loan prohibition, combined with changes in taxation of split-dollar life insurance, Brunswick restructured the Replacement PoliciesPolicy in 2004 such that the net present value cost to Brunswick did not increase. Although the Company continues to cover the costs of the Replacement Policies, the executives arePolicy, Mr. Metzger is now responsible for the actual payment of the annual premiumspremium and keeping their policieshis policy current.

 

Pre-2003 loans on these policies were grandfathered under Sarbanes-Oxley and remain outstanding. The loans must be repaid to Brunswick at the scheduled rollout date or upon death (whichever occurs first) per the terms of the Split Dollar agreement. Executives with split-dollar life insurance replacements do not receive Company-provided basic life insurance coverage. The policy for Mr. Lockridge has since matured and been terminated. The Company recovered its interest in the policy and no longer has any further interest, claims or obligations under the policy. Mr. McCoy’s policy will mature and be terminated in early 2015. Executives hired since 2003 receive basic life insurance coverage under the same terms as other salaried employees, except that the Company continues to pay for a life insurance policy for Mr. Schwabero that was provided by his former employer.

Terms and Conditions of Employment

 

All NEOs maintain 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.

 

Brunswick believes that offering Agreements to its executives helps to ensure the retention of executive experience, skills, knowledge and background for the benefit of the Company, and the efficient achievement of the Company’s long-term 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.

 

Perquisites

Other NEOs may use the companyCompany aircraft for personal use with prior approval from the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

 

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, decisions are also made by 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.

 

EquityThe Compensation Committee reviews and approves equity grant terms and conditions and grant size for NEOs and other senior executives are reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee at thisits first meeting of the year, which is generally held following Brunswick’s public disclosure of its financial results for the prior year.

The Brunswick Pension Plan for Selected Current and Former Employees was subsequently terminated on February 28, 2015 and, as a formula based upon age, years of participationresult, Mr. Metzger received a lump sum distribution on December 2, 2015 in the plan upamount of $681,393. The distribution to 30 yearsMr. Metzger satisfies the plan’s liability in full and the average of the three highest consecutive years’ earnings (salaries, annual BPP and commissions, but excluding payouts under the Strategic Incentive Plan, which has been eliminated). Participation in the salaried pension planno further benefit is frozen, with no new participants being added after April 1, 1999. Effective December 31, 2009, all benefit accruals were frozen and all remaining salaried pension plan participants became eligible for the Company’s primary defined contribution plan, the Rewards Plan,payable to Mr. Metzger as of January 1, 2010.

Supplemental Pension Plan

 

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company froze the Supplemental Pension Plan and ceased all benefit accruals. Participation thereafter in any supplemental pension plan has been through the Brunswick Restoration Plan.

 

The Supplemental Pension Plan ensures that employees with covered compensation or pension benefits above IRS qualified defined benefit plan limits receive the full amount of their intended pension benefits. Under the Supplemental Pension Plan, the Company pays, on a non-qualified basis, the difference between an employee’s earned defined benefit pension and that permissible by IRS qualified limits, and this amount is subject to the claims of creditors. The Supplemental Pension Plan provides a retirement benefit that is consistent with those who are not affected by the IRS compensation and benefit limits and reflects an individual’s full career and covered pay earned.

 

The formula for determining benefits under the Supplemental Pension Plan is the same formula as used for the Salaried Pensionqualified pension plans, specifically a formula based upon age, years of participation in the plan up to 30 years and the average of the three highest consecutive years’ earnings (salaries, annual BPP and commissions, but excluding payouts under the Strategic Incentive Plan, as described above.which has been eliminated).

Narrative to Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Tables

 

The Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation tables show amounts deferred in 20142015 under the Elective Deferred Incentive Compensation, Restoration (non-qualified plan to provide for contributions in excess of IRS limits) and Automatic Deferred Compensation plans and includes previous deferrals.

 

Under the 2005 Elective Deferred Incentive Compensation Plan, participants were allowed to defer up to 100 percent of BPP awards in either cash or stock. The Company calculated the value of cash deferrals based on the rate of return of mutual funds selected by the participant. The investment options mirror those of the qualified 401(k) plan and participants manage fund elections in the same manner. The Company calculated the value of stock deferrals on the same basis as Brunswick Common Stock. In 2008, the Company suspended participation in the plan. Distributions under the 2005 Elective Deferred Incentive Compensation Plan will be made as soon as administratively practicable after the participant’s termination from the Company or in accordance with the participant’s stated elections.

 

BRUNSWICK CORPORATION - 2015 Proxy Statement39

Back to Contents

Under the Restoration Plan, participants may defer up to 40 percent 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 percent of annual pay, and 50 cents for every dollar on the next 2 percent, plus an annual variable retirement contribution of up to 9 percent based on Company performance. Distributions under the Restoration Plan will be made as soon as administratively practicable after the six-month anniversary from the participant’s date of termination.

 

The raterates of return in 20142015 for each fund in the 2005 Elective Deferred Incentive Compensation Plan and the Restoration Plan are indicated in the following table:

Under the 2005 Automatic Deferred Compensation Plan, participants are 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. DeferredFor 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. IfFor amounts deferred in stock, the executive has an election in placeaccount is credited with the number of share units equal to defer awards intothe number of shares of Company stock automatic deferrals are deferred as stock.of the date on which the shares would otherwise have been paid.

 

Distributions of deferrals are made as soon as reasonably practicable after the six-month anniversary of the participant’s date of termination.

 

Other Potential Post-Employment Payments

 

Brunswick has entered into severance and Change in Control agreements with each of the NEOs which are incorporated in the Terms and Conditions of Employment (Agreements). In 2012, the NEOs executed amended and restated Agreements whereby certain of the provisions of the Agreements were modified, most notably: (i) the removal within the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s Agreement of the “modified single-trigger” provision that would have permitted Mr. McCoy to resign for any reason during the 30 day period commencing on the first anniversary of a Change in Control and collect severance; and (ii) the removal of the excise tax gross-up from all Agreements.

 

Terms and Conditions of Employment

 

The Agreements confirm that employment is at will and outline the 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 provision (effective upon termination of employment by the Company following a Change in Control of the Company) for all NEOs, including the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Agreements do not contain provisions for voluntary resignation, thus, Mr. McCoy received no additional payments or benefits as a result of his retirement in February 2016.

 

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 employment is terminated by Brunswick

BRUNSWICK CORPORATION -2016 Proxy Statement40

Back to Contents

for reasons other than for Cause (as defined below) or disability or if the executive terminates for Good Reason (as defined below):

 

•	Upon any Change in Control:

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

•	TerminationQualifying termination within 24 months following a Change in Control:

	–	Severance payment of three times 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; and (iii) the Company’s 401(k) match, variable retirement contribution and other Company contributions made on his behalf to the Company’s tax-qualified and non-qualified defined contribution plans during the 12-month period prior to the date of termination; and
	–	Other benefits (including the continuation of medical, dental, vision and prescription coverage) for up to 36 months.

 

BRUNSWICK CORPORATION - 2015 Proxy Statement40The Company modified its equity vesting provision for 2016 equity grants such that they will be subject to double-trigger vesting. Therefore a termination must occur following a Change in Control in order for the equity awards to vest. This modification is to align with competitive best practice.

Back to Contents

•	TerminationQualifying termination other than following a Change in Control:

	–	For the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, severance payment equal to two times the sum of: (i) annual salary; (ii) the targeted annual award under BPP for the year of termination; and (iii) the Company’s 401(k) match, variable retirement contribution and other Company contributions made on his behalf to the Company’s tax-qualified and non-qualified defined contribution plans during the 12-month period prior to the date of termination;
	–	For the other NEOs, severance payment equal to one and one half times the sum of: (i) annual salary; and (ii) the Company’s 401(k) match, variable retirement contribution and other Company contributions made on his behalf to the Company’s tax-qualified and non-qualified defined contribution plans during the 12-month period prior to the date of termination. Any 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 Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and up to 18 months for other NEOs; and
	–	All equity awards held by the executive would 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.

 

In 2012, the Company eliminated the practice of providing 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). As a result, all executives at Brunswick who have an Agreement, including each NEO, are no longer entitled to a gross-up for any excise tax imposed on “excess parachute payments.” Instead, such executiveexecutives will either be required to pay the excise tax or have histheir payments reduced if it would be more favorable to himthem 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 Chief Executive Officer, 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, the Company 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 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; or
•	Repeated failure to carry out the material components of the executive’s duties despite specific written notice to do so by the Chief Executive Officer, other than any such failure as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness.

 

“Good Reason” means any of the following 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; or
•	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.

 

The definition of Change in Control includes: (i) the acquisition of 25 percent 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 percent 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 percent 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 percent of Brunswick’s voting stock and the Board is comprised of a majority incumbent directors; or (iv) a complete liquidation or dissolution of Brunswick.

Arrangement with Mr. Graves

As noted on page 26 above, Mr. Graves’ employment with the Company terminated on May 30, 2014, as part of the Company’s long-term succession process. Per Mr. Graves’ Terms & Conditions of Employment, and as previously disclosed, upon his termination, Mr. Graves became entitled to receive cash severance of $853,997. Mr. McCoy also determined, at the time of the termination, that Mr. Graves would be entitled to the amount earned under the BPP ($561,260). Mr. Graves also remains entitled to continuation of benefits for eighteen (18) months and outplacement services, with a total value of $35,058. Finally, as described on page 26 above, the Committee determined (i) to accelerate the vesting of certain restricted stock unit and performance unit awards held by Mr. Graves, with an aggregate value at the time of termination of $2,155,517 that otherwise would have been forfeited by him in connection with the termination of his employment and (ii) extended to five years the period Mr. Graves was entitled to exercise outstanding SARs.

PROPOSAL NO. 2:

ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company seeks your advisory vote to approve its compensation programs for its named executive officers (commonly referred to as a “say-on-pay vote”). We encourage shareholders to review the Compensation Discussion and Analysis on pages 24 to 42 of this Proxy Statement. The Company asks that you approve the compensation of our named executive officers 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 Human Resources and Compensation Committee (Compensation Committee) or the Company; however, the Board and the Compensation Committee will 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, the say-on-pay vote is held on an annual basis until the next non-binding shareholder vote on the frequency with which the say-on-pay vote should be held.held, which will occur at our 2017 annual meeting. At its 2014 shareholder2015 annual meeting, the Company received overwhelming shareholder approval on itsthe “say on pay” proposal (98.8(97.13 percent of votes were cast for the proposal). The Company was pleased with this significant vote of confidence of its pay practices and made no direct changes were made to the Company’sits compensation programs directly as a result thereof.of this vote.

 

The Company has a long-standing tradition of delivering financial results for our shareholders and our customers and aligning pay with those results. We are a market leader in the marine and fitness industries, with business locations in more than 25 countries. Our executive team continues to successfully execute its growth plan, ending the 20142015 fiscal year with $635.9$668.8 million of cash and marketable securities, generating strong free cash flow and demonstrating outstanding operating leverage.

 

The Company has designed its executive compensation programs to drive these 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 these 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 significant part 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.
•	We have multiple-year award and payout cycles which serve as a retention tool.
•	We respond to economic conditions appropriately, such as reducing and/or limiting annual BPP incentivesbonuses of the named executive officers in years when performance is not strong.
•	We monitor the executive compensation programs and pay levels of companies of similar size and industry to ensure that our compensation programs are comparable to, and competitive with, our peer group and general market practices.
•	The Board, the Compensation Committee, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our 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.”

 

Your Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers.

The Lead Independent Director is entitled to an additional annual fee of $50,000, the director who chairs the Audit Committee is entitled to an additional annual fee of $20,000, and the other members of the Audit Committee are each entitled to an additional annual fee of $10,000, each due to the increased time commitment required of those directors. The director who chairs the Compensation Committee is also entitled to an additional annual fee of $15,000. The directors who chair the Finance and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees are entitled to an additional annual fee of $10,000 each. Each director who serves on more than one Committee is entitled to an additional annual fee of $7,500, except in the event that a director is already receiving an additional fee for both committees on which they serve. All additional annual fees are payable in Brunswick Common Stock. For the portion of each director’s total annual fee paid in Brunswick Common Stock, the number of shares is determined by the closing price of Brunswick 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;
•	In Brunswick Common Stock distributed currently; or
•	In deferred Brunswick Common Stock with a 20 percent premium.

 

For directors who elect to receive deferred Brunswick Common Stock, the number of shares to be received upon retirement is determined by multiplying the cash amount by 1.2, then dividing that amount by the closing price of Brunswick Common Stock on the date of the award.

As set forth in the Company’s Principles and Practices, within five years after the date on which a director first became a director, and thereafter for so long as each director is a director of the Company, each 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 the Company’s stock price, the director shall have a two-year period within which to once again achieve the threshold. The Company calculateswill calculate compliance with these guidelines annually, using the average Brunswick stock price for the prior calendar year. As of December 31, 2014,2015, 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 $30,000 which may be applied to: (i) purchase Brunswick products at the discounted rates established pursuant to the Employee Purchase Program;rates; and/or (ii) fund expenses incurred with regard to the ownership of such products. The value of the products is included in the directors’ taxable income. Directors may also purchase additional Brunswick products at their own expense, at discounted rates, above and beyond the Employee Purchase Program’s discounted rates.

Brunswick Gift Matching Program. The Board of Directors Gift Matching Program provided support to charitable organizations deemed important to Brunswick’s Board of Directors. Under the program, the Brunswick Foundation would match up to a maximum of $5,000 contributed per director per program year (December 1 - November 30). Eligible organizations had to be non-profit and granted exemption under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and ruled to be publicly supported under 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
