Purpose of Transaction Item 4 of the Schedule 13D filed on August 14, 2006, by Southeastern Asset Management (Southeastern) with respect to the securities of Jacuzzi Brands, Inc. (Jacuzzi) purchased on behalf of Southeastern?s clients is hereby updated with the following additional information: On August 14, 2006, Southeastern filed a Schedule 13D supporting the Board's decision to name Alex Marini as CEO, and stating our desire to work with Mr. Marini and the Board to assess the various long-term strategies available to maximize the company's value. Since that time, Southeastern has had discussions with management and the Board regarding a variety of possible long- term alternatives. Our initial reaction to today?s announcement is that we vehemently oppose this transaction, because the $12.50 price is completely insufficient. The Board began a process of exploring options at an inopportune time, when the results of the Bath division were far below what it?s capable of producing. Now that Al Marini is in place as CEO, the company is finally in position to fix Bath and eliminate significant unnecessary corporate expenses. The Zurn division has a tremendous long-term outlook and is worth more than this transaction implies. We would much rather proceed as an independent company under Al Marini, rather than hand over future profits to a very smart group at a bad time. There is a huge opportunity to fix Bath, cut corporate expenses, and to continue to grow Zurn. We fear that the Board, who owns very little stock and has lived through many different mistakes and unpleasant episodes, took a bid despite a low price because they wanted to wash their hands of the whole thing. The asbestos liability is one that we believe to be a non-issue, and the buyers are apparently not too worried about it either. Once we receive the proxy materials we will review the offer and process in fuller detail. While our actions are limited somewhat by the terms of the Standstill Agreement between Southeastern and Jacuzzi (see Exhibit 10.48 to Jacuzzi Brands 10K filed on December 24, 2002 and Jacuzzi Brands 8K filed on August 12, 2005), we currently intend to vote against this transaction with the maximum percentage permitted under that Agreement. This Schedule 13D amendment is a public communication of how Southeastern intends to vote on this transaction as contemplated by Rule 14a-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and is not a solicitation of a proxy from any security holder of Jacuzzi Brands, as such terms are defined in Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act. SIGNATURES After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
