Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure

On October 22, 2012, Invensys Systems, Inc. filed a suit for patent infringement against the Company and its wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, Micro Motion, Inc., in the Eastern District of Texas captioned Invensys Systems, Inc. v. Emerson Electric Co. and Micro Motion, Inc., USA. The complaint alleges infringement on Invensys patents by Micro Motion's Coriolis flowmeter "Enhanced Core Processors." The Invensys suit seeks unspecified damages for past infringement and an injunction preventing the Company and Micro Motion from engaging in future infringement. It is too early in the litigation to assess any potential financial impact. The Company and Micro Motion believe that the Invensys claims are without merit and that they have strong defenses to the claims, and intend to aggressively defend the suit.
