Regulation FD Disclosure As previously announced, on July 15, 2004, THL Buildco Holdings, Inc. and THL Buildco, Inc., newly formed Delaware corporations affiliated with Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P., entered into a stock purchase agreement with the stockholders of Nortek Holdings, Inc. (referred to herein as the "current Nortek Holdings, Inc."), including affiliates of Kelso & Company, L.P. and certain members of Nortek Inc.'s ("Nortek") management, pursuant to which THL Buildco, Inc. agreed to purchase all the outstanding capital stock of the current Nortek Holdings, Inc. THL Buildco, Inc. is a wholly owned direct subsidiary of THL Buildco Holdings, Inc. Throughout this filing, "the Acquisition" refers to this stock purchase and the related mergers described below, and all references to "we," "us" and "our" refer to Nortek and its consolidated subsidiaries. Following are portions of the summary historical and pro forma financial data, pro forma condensed consolidated financial data and other information included in the offering memorandum dated August 12, 2004, which was distributed on August 18, 2004, in connection with a proposed offering to be made by THL Buildco, Inc. in connection with the Acquisition under Rule 144A and Regulation S of $625 million principal amount of 8 1/2% senior subordinated notes. This report is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. The information in this Form 8-K shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. In addition, this information shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of the current Nortek Holdings, Inc. filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the information in this report shall be incorporated into the offer to purchase circulated in connection with the current Nortek Holdings, Inc.'s previously announced tender offer for its outstanding 10% senior discount notes due 2011 and circulated in connection with Nortek's previously announced tender offers for its outstanding senior floating rate notes due 2010 and its outstanding 9 7/8% senior subordinated notes due 2011. -2- SUMMARY HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA On November 20, 2002, Nortek engaged in a reorganization transaction pursuant to which each outstanding share of capital stock of Nortek was converted into an identical share of capital stock of the current Nortek Holdings, Inc., with Nortek becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the current Nortek Holdings, Inc. On January 9, 2003, the current Nortek Holdings, Inc. completed a reorganization transaction, which resulted in its acquisition by certain affiliates and designees of Kelso & Company, L.P. and certain members of Nortek management (the "recapitalization"). Beginning on January 9, 2003, Nortek and the current Nortek Holdings, Inc. accounted for the recapitalization as a purchase in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations," which resulted in a new valuation for the assets and liabilities of Nortek and the current Nortek Holdings, Inc. based upon their fair values as of the date of the recapitalization (the "purchase accounting"). Accordingly, the summary financial information presented below includes the results of operations for the pre-recapitalization periods prior to January 10, 2003 and the post-recapitalization periods subsequent to January 9, 2003. The purchase accounting was finalized in the fourth quarter of 2003. On February 12, 2004, Nortek sold the capital stock of its wholly owned subsidiary Ply Gem Industries, Inc. ("Ply Gem") for net cash proceeds of approximately $506.7 million after excluding approximately $21.4 million of proceeds provided to fund liabilities of Ply Gem indemnified by Nortek and recorded a net after-tax gain of approximately $72.3 million in the first quarter of 2004. Nortek treated the sale of Ply Gem as a discontinued operation and, accordingly, the current Nortek Holdings, Inc.'s consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference herein exclude the results of Ply Gem from continuing operations in the statements of operations and, where applicable, reflect the assets and liabilities of Ply Gem as assets and liabilities from discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, the selected historical consolidated financial data presented below reflects Ply Gem as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. In connection with the Acquisition, THL Buildco, Inc. will be merged with and into the current Nortek Holdings, Inc., with the current Nortek Holdings, Inc. continuing as the surviving corporation, and the current Nortek Holdings, Inc. will then be merged with and into Nortek, with Nortek continuing as the surviving corporation. Upon consummation of these mergers, Nortek, as the surviving corporation, will have assumed all of the obligations of THL Buildco, Inc., as the original issuer of the notes. Because Nortek will succeed to the rights and obligations of the current Nortek Holdings, Inc. by virtue of these mergers, and because the use of proceeds from the offering of the notes includes the refinancing of the current Nortek Holdings, Inc.'s existing 10% senior discount notes due 2011, the tables in the following sections labeled "Statement of Operations Data" and "Balance Sheet Data" present historical consolidated financial data of the current Nortek Holdings, Inc. and pro forma consolidated financial data for Nortek, as surviving corporation of the mergers, in each case for the periods indicated. The summary consolidated historical financial data of the current Nortek Holdings, Inc. for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2002, the period from January 1, 2003 to January 9, 2003 and the period from January 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003 has been derived from the current Nortek Holdings, Inc.'s consolidated financial statements, which were audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm. The summary consolidated historical financial data for the period from January 10, 2003 to July 5, 2003 and the six months ended July 3, 2004 has been derived from the current Nortek Holdings, Inc.'s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which reflect, in the opinion of the current Nortek Holdings, Inc. management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the interim periods presented. The amounts in the twelve months ended July 3, 2004 column have been derived from the historical amounts presented. The amounts in the columns for the pro forma statement of operations data for the twelve months ended July 3, 2004 and the pro forma balance sheet data as of July 3, 2004 columns were derived from the "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Data" -3- included elsewhere herein. These amounts reflect the pro forma impact of the 2003 recapitalization and the Acquisition and the other related transactions, including the offering of the notes and the repurchase of the existing notes. The pro forma statement of operations data gives pro forma effect to these transactions as if they had occurred as of January 1, 2003. The pro forma balance sheet data gives effect to the transactions above as if they had occurred on July 3, 2004. This summary historical and pro forma financial data should be read in conjunction with the audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes and the information contained in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in each case included in the current Nortek Holdings, Inc.'s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 and Forms 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended April 3, 2004 and July 3, 2004, incorporated by reference herein, and the information contained in "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Data" included elsewhere herein.

--------------- (1) Acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Dispositions have been accounted for as discontinued operations and have been excluded from earnings from continuing operations for all applicable periods presented. See notes 1, 2, 3, 10 and 11 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the current Nortek -4- Holdings, Inc.'s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 and notes A, B, E, H and I of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the current Nortek Holdings, Inc.'s Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2004, each incorporated by reference herein. (2) For additional information related to certain debt offerings and redemptions completed in late 2003 and early 2004 by Nortek, see notes 6 and 16 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the current Nortek Holdings, Inc.'s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 and note D of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the current Nortek Holdings, Inc.'s Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2004, each incorporated by reference herein. (3) In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," Nortek ceased amortizing goodwill as of January 1, 2002. Goodwill amortization expense related to continuing operations of approximately $8.7 million is included in amortization of goodwill and intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2001. See note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the current Nortek Holdings, Inc.'s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, incorporated by reference herein. (4) Amounts represent expenses and charges arising from the recapitalization as described in Notes 2 and 14 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the current Nortek Holdings, Inc.'s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 and notes B and F of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the current Nortek Holdings, Inc.'s Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2004, each incorporated by reference herein. (5) Represents the pre-tax loss associated with the redemption of certain notes in fiscal 2001 and the six months ended July 3, 2004. See notes 6 and 16 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the current Nortek Holdings, Inc.'s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 and Note D of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the current Nortek Holdings, Inc.'s Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2004, each incorporated by reference herein. (6) Operating earnings (loss) includes the following items: -5- --------------- (a) Strategic sourcing expenses which primarily represent direct costs and third party fees related to the development and implementation of software and systems to execute our strategic sourcing initiative. Strategic sourcing expenses were approximately $5.5 million, $3.7 million, $0.1 million, $1.7 million, $3.4 million, $1.7 million and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, the period from January 1, 2003 to January 9, 2003, the period from January 10, 2003 to July 5, 2003, the period from January 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003, the twelve months ended July 3, 2004 and the pro forma twelve months ended July 3, 2004, respectively. (b) Re-audit fees and expenses which relate to the re-audit of Nortek's consolidated financial statements for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. Under applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, the proxy statement that was delivered to the current Nortek Holdings, Inc.'s stockholders in connection with their approval of the recapitalization had to include or incorporate by reference audited annual financial statements reclassifying any business sold, since the financial statements were originally published, as a discontinued operation for all periods presented in such statements. Although this subsidiary was not a significant subsidiary within the meaning of the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, the rule requiring that the subsidiary be reclassified as a discontinued operation in the audited annual financial statements still applied. If Nortek had not sold this subsidiary no re-audit of its historical audited annual financial statements would have been required in connection with the preparation of the proxy statement. The re-audit did not result from any inquiry made by the SEC or any other party and would have been required of any similarly situated public company. Except for the reclassification of the subsidiary as a discontinued operation, the re-audit confirmed, without change, the operating earnings, net earnings, balance sheet and cash flow amounts previously reported. Re-audit fees and expenses of approximately $2.1 million were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2003. (c) Facilities rationalization and expansion costs in 2001 which relate to the start-up of a new 450,000 sq. ft. residential HVAC facility in Poplar Bluff, MO. In 2002, these costs represent the expenses associated with merging certain operations within the residential building products segment. In 2003 and beyond, these costs relate to the closure of a 200,000 sq. ft. residential HVAC facility in St. Louis, MO and the opening of a new 370,000 sq. ft. facility in Dyersburg, TN and primarily represent direct costs such as severance and relocation of equipment and identified costs related to a portion of manufacturing inefficiencies incurred in the first half of 2004 during the ramp-up of production in the new facility. Facilities rationalization and expansion costs were approximately $2.7 million, $1.0 million, $2.0 million, $6.9 million, $7.8 million, $12.7 million and $12.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, the period from January 10, 2003 to July 5, 2003, the period from January 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003, the six months ended July 3, 2004, the twelve months ended July 3, 2004 and the pro forma twelve months ended July 3, 2004, respectively. (d) Stock option and other stock compensation expense which represent non-cash compensation expense related to stock options and common stock in accordance with SFAS No. 123. Stock option and other stock compensation expense was approximately $0.7 million, $0.9 million, $2.1 million, $3.3 million, $4.5 million and $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, the period from January 10, 2003 to July 5, 2003, the period from January 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003, the six months ended July 3, 2004, the twelve months ended July 3, 2004 and the pro forma twelve months ended July 3, 2004, respectively. (e) A long-term incentive earned in 2002 by certain members of management under Nortek's 1999 equity performance plan was terminated in 2002 and no new benefit plan was provided to these members of management. Long-term incentive compensation costs of approximately $4.4 million were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2002. (f) Non-cash (income) expense related to changes in foreign exchange rates on intercompany debt arises, primarily from intercompany debt between Nortek and certain of its foreign subsidiaries. Income of approximately $0.7 million, $1.5 million, $0.3 million and $0.3 million was recorded during the period from January 10, 2003 to July 5, 2003, the period from January 10, 2003 through December 31, 2003, the twelve months ended July 3, 2004 and the pro forma twelve months ended July 3, 2004, respectively. Expense of approximately $0.5 million was recorded during the six months ended July 3, 2004. (g) Non-recurring gains of approximately $0.5 million which were recorded during the six months ended July 3, 2004 related to the sale of certain assets. (h) In connection with the Acquisition, we expect to implement a corporate restructuring that will result in changes in certain members of management's compensation and modifications of employee benefits. In addition, corporate overhead expense was reduced subsequent to February 11, 2004 following the sale of our former subsidiary, Ply Gem Industries, Inc. ("Ply Gem"). Included in corporate overhead charges in operating earnings (loss) are management compensation and employee benefit costs of approximately $2.5 million, $9.4 million, $5.4 million, $12.3 million and $6.3 million for the period from January 1, 2003 to January 9, 2003, the period from January 10, 2003 to July 5, 2003, the period from January 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003, the six months ended July 3, 2004, the twelve months ended July 3, 2004 and the pro forma twelve months ended July 3, 2004, respectively, that we believe would not have been incurred had we instituted the proposed corporate restructuring as of January 1, 2003 and sold Ply Gem on January 1, 2003. (7) Operating earnings (loss) excludes the following items: (a) During 2003 and 2004, we acquired, at various times, Elan, SpeakerCraft and OmniMount. See Note E of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the current Nortek Holdings Inc. Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2004, incorporated by reference herein. On a pro forma basis, operating earnings would have increased by approximately of $0.1 million, $6.0 million, $8.3 million, $0.3 million, $2.6 million and $2.6 million for the period from January 1, 2003 to January 9, 2003, the period from January 10, 2003 to July 5, 2003, the period from January 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003, the six months ended July 3, 2004, the twelve months ended July 3, 2004 and the pro forma twelve months ended July 3, 2004, respectively, had such acquisitions occurred as of January 1, 2003. On a pro forma basis, depreciation and amortization expense would have increased by approximately $0.3 million, $0.4 million, $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the period from January 10, 2003 to July 5, 2003, the period from January 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003, the six months ended July 3, 2004, the twelve months ended July 3, 2004 and the pro forma twelve months ended July 3, 2004, respectively, had such acquisitions occurred as of January 1, 2003. Separate pro forma information was not required for these acquisitions as they were not material to our consolidated results of operations for any of the 2003 and 2004 periods presented. (b) In connection with the Acquisition, our equity sponsor fee is expected to increase to $2.0 million annually from the $1.5 million annual fee that has been paid to affiliates of Kelso & Company, L.P. since the recapitalization on January 9, 2003. On a pro forma basis, the equity sponsor fee included in operating earnings (loss) would have been approximately $0.3 million, $0.5 million, $0.3 million and $0.5 million higher for the period from January 10, 2003 to July 5, 2003, the period from January 10, 2003 to December 31, 2003, the six months ended July 3, 2004 and the twelve months ended July 3, 2004, respectively, had the Acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2003. (8) Includes $8.5 million of restricted cash. -7- (9) The pro forma twelve months ended July 3, 2004 statement of operations data amounts were derived from the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the twelve months ended July 3, 2004 and the pro forma July 3, 2004 balance sheet data amounts were derived from the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 3, 2004 included in "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Data" contained elsewhere herein. -8- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Data In connection with the Acquisition, THL Buildco, Inc. will be merged with and into the current Nortek Holdings, Inc., with the current Nortek Holdings, Inc. continuing as the surviving corporation, and the current Nortek Holdings, Inc. will then be merged with and into Nortek, with Nortek continuing as the surviving corporation. Upon consummation of these mergers, Nortek, as the surviving corporation, will succeed to all of the obligations of the issuer of the notes. Presented below is unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data for Nortek, Inc., as the surviving corporation of the mergers described above. Because Nortek will succeed to the rights and obligations of the current Nortek Holdings, Inc. as a result of these mergers, and because the use of proceeds from the offering of the notes and the other financing transactions includes the refinancing of the current Nortek Holdings, Inc.'s existing 10% senior discount notes due 2011, the following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data has been derived by the application of pro forma adjustments to the current Nortek Holdings, Inc. historical consolidated financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet data presented below gives effect to the Acquisition and the other related transactions, including the offering of the notes and the other financing transactions, as if they had all occurred on July 3, 2004. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations data for the periods presented gives effect to these transactions and the 2003 recapitalization, as if they had all occurred on January 1, 2003. Assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes which should be read in conjunction with the following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. The pro forma adjustments related to the purchase price allocation and financing of the Acquisition are preliminary and based on information obtained to date, and are subject to revision as additional information becomes available. The actual purchase accounting adjustments described in the accompanying notes will be made as of the closing date of the Acquisition and may differ from those reflected in the following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. Revisions to the preliminary purchase price allocation and financing of the Acquisition may have a significant impact on the pro forma amounts of total assets, total liabilities, stockholder's investment, cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization and interest expense. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the current Nortek Holdings management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data should not be considered indicative of actual results that would have been achieved had the 2003 recapitalization and the Acquisition and other related transactions been consummated on the dates indicated and does not purport to indicate consolidated balance sheet data or results of operations as of any future date or future period. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes and the information contained in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," included in the current Nortek Holdings, Inc. Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 and Forms 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended April 3, 2004 and July 3, 2004, each incorporated by reference herein. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -9- UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET AS OF JULY 3, 2004
