R. Scott Trumbull, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and John J. Haines, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of Franklin Electric Co., Inc. (the “Company”) will present at the KeyBanc Investor Conference in Boston, Massachusetts on June 2, 2009. A copy of the presentation slides are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and will be available on the Company’s web site, www.fele.com, under the “Investor Relations” page, for 30 days after the presentation.

Management expects during the course of the presentation to make the following additional comments with respect to the outlook for the balance of the year:

1) Year over year sales comparisons for the Fueling Segment will be particularly difficult in the second and third quarters of 2009 due to the high volume of prior year shipments in California.

2) Management expects that overall margins should improve sequentially in the second and third quarters of 2009 and be above prior year in the fourth quarter.

3) Estimates of cost savings for fixed manufacturing and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses are impacted by foreign currency exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar. Key current assumptions used in these estimates are Euro to U.S. dollar of .7569 and Brazilian real to U.S. dollar of 2.18.

4) The Company discussed that in the second half of 2009, due to the expansion of the facility in Linares, Mexico, along with the curtailment of production in higher costs facilities, the Company’s manufacturing converting costs will be approximately $11 million lower during the second half of 2009 than they were in the second half of 2008. These costs savings are included in the 2009 Full Year Cost Reduction vs. 2008 estimates provided on page 12 of the presentation
