BUSINESS 1(a) GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS (i) General. The Stanley Works (“Stanley” or the “Company”) was founded in 1843 by Frederick T. Stanley and incorporated in 1852. Stanley is a diversified worldwide supplier of tools and engineered solutions for professional, industrial and construction and do-it-yourself use, as well as engineered security solutions for industrial and commercial applications. Stanley» is a brand recognized around the world for quality and value. Net sales from continuing operations have increased from $2.2 billion in 2002 to a record $4.4 billion in 2008, declining to $3.7 billion in 2009 associated with the economic recession. The increase reflects execution of the Company’s profitable growth and diversification strategy. The growth in net sales from continuing operations predominantly relates to acquisitions, particularly in the Industrial and Security segments. The Company sold the CST/berger business in 2008, and the entry door and home décor businesses in 2004, along with several other small divestitures over the past few years. Results have been recast for these discontinued operations. Refer to Note E, Acquisitions, and Note T, Discontinued Operations, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 for a discussion of acquisitions and divestitures over the past three years. At January 2, 2010, Stanley employed approximately 16,700 people worldwide. The Company’s principal executive office is located at 1000 Stanley Drive, New Britain, Connecticut 06053 and its telephone number is (860) 225-5111. On November 2, 2009, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with The Black & Decker Corporation (“Black & Decker”), a global manufacturer and marketer of quality power tools and accessories, hardware and home improvement products, and technology-based fastening systems. Under the terms of the transaction, which has been approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies, Black & Decker shareholders will receive a fixed ratio of 1.275 shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of Black & Decker common stock they own. Based on the $52.47 closing price of the Company’s common stock on January 27, 2010, the consideration to be received by Black & Decker shareholders represents $66.90 per Black & Decker share, or approximately $4.2 billion in aggregate value. Upon closing, it is expected that the Company’s shareholders will own approximately 50.5% of the equity of the combined company and Black & Decker shareholders will own approximately 49.5%. While the U.S. anti-trust review is complete, the closing of the transaction is subject to other customary closing conditions, including foreign regulatory approvals and the approval of Stanley and Black & Decker shareholders who will vote on the merger proposal in special meetings to be held on March 12, 2010. Closing of the transaction is expected to occur on March 12, 2010. (ii) Restructuring Activities.
