On August 21, 2009, Brunswick Corporation (the "Company") executed and delivered the First Supplemental Indenture (the "First Supplemental Indenture") by and between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, amending the terms of the Indenture dated as of March 15, 1987 (the "1987 Indenture"), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor trustee, governing the Company's 5% Notes due 2011 (the "2011 Notes"), solely with respect to the 2011 Notes.

The Company had received tenders and consents from holders of $149,380,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2011 Notes, representing 99.59% of the outstanding 2011 Notes, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 21, 2009 in connection with the Company's previously announced cash tender offer and related consent solicitation launched on August 10, 2009 (the "Offer"). The First Supplemental Indenture was entered into following receipt of the requisite consents from holders of over 66 2/3% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 2011 Notes.

The First Supplemental Indenture effects certain proposed amendments to the 1987 Indenture by eliminating substantially all of the restrictive covenants, including covenants relating to the Company's ability to incur secured indebtedness and enter into sale and leaseback transactions. The First Supplemental Indenture became effective after acceptance for payment on August 24, 2009, the first acceptance date following the receipt on August 21, 2009 of the requisite consents pursuant to the Offer. In accordance with the terms of the Offer, the tendered 2011 Notes were purchased by the Company on August 24, 2009 using a portion of the proceeds of the Company's recently completed offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of its 11.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2016.

The Supplemental Indenture is attached as Exhibit 4.1. The foregoing description of the Supplemental Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Supplemental Indenture, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The news release issued by the Company announcing the receipt of the requisite consents to the proposed amendments to the 1987 Indenture and the execution of the First Supplemental Indenture is incorporated herein by reference and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
