HUBBELL COMPLETES PURCHASE OF BURNDY®

ORANGE, CT. (October 5, 2009) — Hubbell Incorporated (NYSE:  HUBA, HUBB) today announced that it completed the purchase of FCI Americas, Inc. (the business known as “Burndy®”) for consideration of approximately $360 million in cash (net of cash acquired) subject to certain standard adjustments.

Burndy serves commercial and industrial markets and utility customers primarily in the United States (with roughly 25% of sales in Canada, Mexico and Brazil). 2008 sales were approximately $225 million and operating profit margins were in the high teens.

Burndy will continue to operate as a stand alone business unit as part of Hubbell’s electrical systems products for the foreseeable future. The acquisition was funded with cash as well as some short term borrowings. Hubbell will continue to actively evaluate available alternatives for permanent financing to best meet its capital structure objectives going forward. The acquisition is expected to be accretive to earnings in 2010.

Timothy H. Powers, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Hubbell Incorporated said “I am excited that we have been able to complete the purchase of Burndy. Since we signed the definitive agreement in July, our management team has been coordinating with Burndy and FCI to ensure a smooth integration. Our extensive interactions over that period of time have

served to reinforce the outstanding fit we see between Hubbell and Burndy and the business opportunities that can be realized over time. Burndy’s product quality, relationships with distributors, and emphasis on people are a natural complement to Hubbell. Hubbell welcomes the Burndy employees to our family and we look forward to serving our customers with a broader and deeper product line.”
