October 1, 2005

Maytag Additional Information:
This document includes statements that do not directly or exclusively relate to historical facts. Such statements
are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements speak only as of this date and
include statements regarding anticipated future financial operating performance and results and expectations as
to the closing of the transaction with Whirlpool. These statements are based on the current expectations of
management of Maytag. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from the forward-looking statements included in this document. For example, with respect to the
transaction with Whirlpool (1) Maytag may be unable to obtain shareholder approval required for the transaction;
(2) conditions to the closing of the transaction may not be satisfied or the merger agreement may be terminated
prior to closing; (3) Maytag may be unable to obtain the regulatory approvals required to close the transaction, or
required regulatory approvals may delay the transaction or result in the imposition of conditions that could have a
material adverse effect on Maytag or cause the parties to abandon the transaction; (4) Maytag may be unable to
achieve cost-cutting goals or it may take longer than expected to achieve those goals; (5) the transaction may
involve unexpected costs or unexpected liabilities; (6) the credit ratings of Maytag or its subsidiaries may be
different from what the parties expect; (7) the businesses of Maytag may suffer as a result of uncertainty
surrounding the transaction; (8) the industry may be subject to future regulatory or legislative actions that could
adversely affect Maytag; and (9) Maytag may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or
competitive factors. Additional factors that may affect the future results of Maytag are set forth in its filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), which are available at http://www.maytagcorp.com. Maytag
undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.

Additional Information Relating to the Proposed Merger and Where to Find It
Whirlpool and Maytag have filed a preliminary prospectus/proxy statement with the SEC in connection with the
proposed transaction. Investors are urged to read the preliminary prospectus/proxy statement, and any other
relevant documents filed or to be filed by Whirlpool or Maytag, including the definitive prospectus/proxy
statement when available, because they contain or will contain important information. The preliminary
prospectus/proxy statement is, and other documents filed by Whirlpool and Maytag with the SEC are, available
free of charge at the SEC’s website (http://www.sec.gov) or from Whirlpool by directing a request to Whirlpool
Corporation, 2000 North M-63, Mail Drop 2800, Benton Harbor, MI 49022-2692, Attention: Larry Venturelli, Vice
President, Investor Relations. Neither this communication nor the preliminary prospectus/proxy statement
constitutes an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy Whirlpool common stock in any jurisdiction outside
the United States where such offer or issuance would be prohibited -- such an offer or issuance will only be
made in accordance with the applicable laws of such jurisdiction.
Whirlpool, Maytag and their respective directors, executive officers, and other employees may be deemed to be
participating in the solicitation of proxies from Maytag stockholders in connection with the approval of the
proposed transaction. Information about Whirlpool’s directors and executive officers is available in Whirlpool’s
proxy statement, dated March 18, 2005, for its 2005 annual meeting of stockholders. Information about
Maytag’s directors and executive officers is available in Maytag’s proxy statement, dated April 4, 2005, for its
2005 annual meeting of stockholders. Additional information about the interests of potential participants is
included in the preliminary prospectus/proxy statement Whirlpool and Maytag filed with the SEC.

Non-GAAP Measurements: In addition to the reported GAAP results provided throughout this document, the
company has provided certain non-GAAP measurements (“Net Free Cash Flow” and “Net Debt”). Reconciliations
from GAAP reported results to non-GAAP reported measurements can be found in this document .
The company has provided these non-GAAP measurements as a way to help investors better understand its cash
flow and debt position from period to period. Among other things, the company’s management uses these non-
GAAP measurements to evaluate its cash flow and debt position. The non-GAAP measures are intended only as a
supplement to the comparable GAAP measures and the company compensates for the limitations inherent in the
use of non-GAAP measures by using GAAP measures in conjunction with the non-GAAP measures. As a result,
investors should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not in substitution for, or as superior to,
measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
