On June 11
the Bosch Group announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire
CST/berger from The Stanley Works portfolio. The parties expect to complete the
transaction, which is subject to regulatory and other approvals, in the next
few months.

industrial technology, consumer goods and building technology with sales of

broader product portfolio.
As soon as the transaction is completed we will begin the
process of combining the strength of the CST/berger and Bosch measuring tool

customers, and we intend to continue delivering on that commitment through this
transition.
