Disclosure.
During an
investor conference call on September 9, 2010, David N. Farr, Chairman, Chief
Executive Officer and President of Emerson Electric Co., provided information
regarding the expected impacts in FY2010 and FY2011 of the previously announced
Chloride acquisition and the pending dispositions of the LANDesk and the Motors
and Appliance Controls businesses. He indicated that there were no
significant changes to Emerson’s underlying business expectations from those
disclosed in its earnings release dated August 3, 2010. Based on the
completed Chloride acquisition and the expected completion of these dispositions
by September 30, 2010, reported FY2010 earnings per share is now expected to be
in the range of $2.70 to $2.85, a $0.10 to $0.15 positive net impact from the
transactions over the previous guidance of $2.60 to $2.70.
Attached
as Exhibit 99.1 is a slide containing information on the projected effects of
these transactions on FY2010 and FY2011 earnings per share, which was presented
