LAKE FOREST, Ill., March 18, 2013 -- Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC) and GE
Capital, Commercial Distribution Finance (CDF), a division of GE (NYSE: GE),
announced today an extension of their joint venture, Brunswick Acceptance
Company (BAC), through 2016. The joint venture was formed in 2002, and began
operations in 2003 with the goal of providing a stable, long-term source of
wholesale floor plan financing for Brunswick boat dealers.

BAC is the largest floor plan finance provider for Brunswick boat brands and
Mercury Marine engines in the U.S., as well as one of the largest providers of
wholesale financing programs and service to the marine industry.

"This extension is a reflection of the commitment that the partners have to the
U.S. marine industry, as well as our confidence in BAC's demonstrated   ability to
provide market-leading products and services to the dealer body," said Brunswick
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dustan E. McCoy. "We are committed to
offering our dealers all the tools they need, including a stable and affordable
source of financing along with our high quality boats and engines to ensure they
can provide America's boaters with a fully satisfying ownership experience."

"We are excited about our extension with Brunswick, and we will continue to
provide their dealers with flexible financing and top-notch customer service,"
said Bruce Van Wagoner, president of CDF's marine group. "BAC dealers will also
continue to have access to CDF's industry-leading online tools and the resources
of GE to help them manage and grow their business."

In a related development in Canada, CDF renewed its agreement to be the
strategic inventory finance provider for Brunswick boat dealers through 2016.
