Reid 616/923-3417 WHIRLPOOL BOARD RAISES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND BY 11.5 PERCENT BENTON HARBOR, Mich. -- Feb. 21, 1995 -- Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE:WHR) directors, meeting today in Chicago, voted to increase the company's quarterly per-share dividend by 11.5 percent, to 34 cents. The action marked the second time in 20 months that Whirlpool has raised its dividend payment. Chairman and CEO David R. Whitwam said confidence in the company's future was behind the increase. "Our businesses in North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia made major moves in 1994 to strengthen their competitive positions going forward," said Whitwam. "And they did so while turning in their best operating results ever. "Our global position is unmatched in the home-appliance industry today, and it's that base from which we've pledged to create superior long-term value for our shareholders. The dividend increase is another payment on that pledge." Whirlpool last boosted its dividend effective June 1993, from 27.5 to 30.5 cents per share. The increase announced today will be reflected in the quarterly dividend payment scheduled for March 15 to shareholders of record on March 3. The board also fixed March 3 as the record date for the annual meeting of Whirlpool stockholders, to be held in Chicago on April 18. Whirlpool Corporation is the world's leading manufacturer and marketer of major home appliances. Headquartered in Benton Harbor, the company manufactures in 11 countries and markets products under 10 major brand names in more than 120 countries. # # # # Administrative Center Benton Harbor, Michigan 49022 EX-99.2 3 PRESS RELEASE [LOGO OF WHIRLPOOL CORPORATION] NEWS RELEASE Contact: T.R. Reid 616/923-3417 PINEAU-VALENCIENNE RESIGNS FROM WHIRLPOOL CORPORATION BOARD BENTON HARBOR, Mich. -- Feb. 22, 1995 -- Didier Pineau-Valencienne yesterday resigned from the Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE:WHR) board of directors. Pineau- Valencienne, a director since August 1992, is chairman and chief executive officer of France's Schneider SA. Pineau-Valencienne said that responsibilities to Schneider had prevented him recently from fully carrying out his role as a Whirlpool director, hence his decision to resign the seat. "We brought Didier to our board to add a new and important perspective to our increasingly global organization," said Whirlpool Chairman and CEO David R. Whitwam. "He contributed that and more and we're sorry to see him leave, though we understand and respect his action." Pineau-Valencienne's resignation reduces the board's size to 12 members.
