Item 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
------------------------
On January 23, 2001 at 8.15 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, the Company
will host a live audio webcast of its Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2000 Earnings
Release Conference Call. In preparation for this webcast, the Company recommends
that interested persons should go to the Company's internet website.
HTTP://WWW.DOVERCORPORATION.COM to complete the Pre-event System Test. The
Earnings Press Release and related presentation materials will be available on
the Company's website in the "What's New" section, late on Monday, January 22,
2001. See Exhibit 99.1 attached. After the live webcast, the audio webcast will
continue to be available to the public on the Company's website for
approximately two weeks.
Certain statements made in this webcast may be "forward looking"
statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws. These statements
may relate to matters such as anticipated financial performance, business
prospects, technological developments, new products, expectations for market
segments and growth. "Forward looking" statements are subject to inherent
uncertainties and risks including, among other things: increasing competition;
technological developments; and the ability to continue to introduce competitive
new products and services on a timely, cost-effective basis. Please refer to the
paragraph in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading "Special
Notes Regarding Forward Looking Statements" for other such factors and further
information about forward looking statements. In light of these risks and
uncertainties, actual events and results may vary significantly from those
included in, or contemplated or implied by, such forward looking statements. You
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. The Company
undertakes no obligation to update these statements. In addition, this webcast
may contain information from third parties which the Company believes is
reliable, but as to which the Company expressly denies any responsibility as to
its accuracy or reliability.
The Company anticipates that it will continue this practice of hosting
live audio webcasts of its regular earnings release conference calls during the
balance of 2001. After each such live webcast, the audio webcast will continue
to be accessible for approximately two weeks on the Company's internet website.
These public events will take place generally during the third week after the
close of each of the Company's fiscal quarters, which means that they will
likely occur during the third weeks of April, July, and October, 2001. Full year
2001 earnings are likely to be released during the third week of January 2002. A
schedule of these events can be found on the Company's internet website under
"Calendar".
