`History
`
`History
`
`Our roots, established more than half a century ago, originated in the
`domestic manufacture of metal cutting tools and gear boxes. In 1955 we
`were known as Beloit Tool and set up shop in a roller rink in Beloit,
`Wisconsin. We have moved our corporate headquarters and re-branded our
`company several times since 1955. We currently reside in downtown Beloit,
`Wisconsin and are now known as simply “Regal.”
`
`Strategic Growth
`
`In 1980 sales were about $40 million—impressive at the time—however, we had bigger
`aspirations. James L. Packard and Henry W. Knueppel joined the company and initiated
`an aggressive acquisition strategy to expand our business. A key part of our growth can
`be attributed to the 69 acquisitions we successfully completed since 1955, including
`multiple acquisitions that catapulted the company into the power transmission, electric
`motor, electric generator and the customer electronic controls businesses. By the end of
`2004, approaching our 50th year of operation, our annual sales reached $756 million.
`
`Today and Tomorrow
`
`Regal ‘s transformation into a more global manufacturer of motors began with the 2004
`and 2005 acquisitions of GE’s Commercial AC and HVAC motor businesses which had
`combined annual revenues over $600 million. By year end of 2005, the company had
`record sales exceeding $1.4 billion.
`
`In 2011, under the leadership of CEO Mark J. Gliebe, the largest acquisition in our history
`occurred with the purchase of A0. Smith's Electrical Products Company. This acquisition,
`which added about $700 million in sales revenues, further expanded our global
`manufacturing footprint in Mexico and China, added new energy saving pump motor
`technology used in commercial and residential pools and spas, and broadened our
`product offering with a complete line of commercial and residential hermetic motors.
`
`Despite volatile and challenging global economic conditions, we have continued our
`strong financial performance. In 2012, we achieved annual sales of $3.1 billion, more than
`a 77-fold increase from 1980 sales. We paid our first cash dividend in January, 1961 and
`since then, we have paid 210 consecutive quarterly dividends through December 30,
`2012. Our dividend has been increased in seven of the last eight years.
`
`We are gratified by our strong record of profitability and growth over the past five decades.
`We know that this only works when our customers, our employees and our investors are
`all winning. As we look to the future, we plan to continue our growth trajectory and
`financial stability through strategic acquisitions, simplification and process improvements,
