Item 1.01.                      Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Brunswick Corporation (Brunswick) determined that tin, tantalum, tungsten and/or gold (Conflict Minerals) were necessary for the production or functionality of products manufactured or contracted for manufacture by Brunswick during the year ended December 31, 2015, and it is therefore subject to reporting under Section 1502 (b) of the Dodd-Frank Act and SEC Rule 13p-1, Item 1.01(b). Accordingly, Brunswick conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (RCOI) regarding the applicable Conflict Minerals to assess whether they originated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country that shares an internationally recognized border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the Conflict Region). Brunswick has reason to believe that certain of its necessary Conflict Minerals originated, or may have originated, in the Conflict Region and are not from recycled or scrap sources. These Conflict Minerals were the subject of Brunswick's due diligence efforts as described in the attached Conflict Minerals Report.
