Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On March 20, 2020, Brunswick Corporation (the "Company") issued a press release to provide an update on the global operational and business impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company announced that it will temporarily suspend production, beginning March 23, at certain of its propulsion and boat facilities over the next few weeks in response to the impact of COVID-19. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1.

In addition, this situation is constantly changing, and the Company continues to work with its local teams on mitigating the operational and business impacts. At this time, neither the duration nor scope of the disruption caused by COVID-19 can be predicted. Consequently, the financial impact to the Company's results and future financial or operational performance, including its fiscal 2020 guidance, cannot be reasonably estimated. The Company will provide an update during its first quarter earnings call.

The information in this report and the exhibits attached hereto 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, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
