Brunswick Corporation : Brunswick Technical Career Path Welcomes More Employees

LAKE FOREST, Ill. Sept. 29, 2016 - Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC) today
announced that five additional employees have been accepted into - or promoted
within -- the Company's Technical Career Path curriculum.  The prestigious
appointments bring the total to 26 Brunswick product development and engineering
(PD&E) employees who are participating in the program.  Joining or advancing
within the Technical Career Path since the beginning of 2016, have been the
following individuals:
  * Fred Herrington, technical specialist, Naval Architecture (Recreational Boat
    Group),
  * Jonathan Flesher, technical specialist, Naval Architecture (European Boat
    Group),
  * Ryan Solberg, technical associate, Electronics Technology and Software
    (Recreational Boat Group),
  * Chris Misorski, technical advisor, Materials Science (Mercury Marine), and
  * Mike Torgerud, technical specialist, Fuel Systems (Mercury Marine).

Launched in September 2015, Brunswick's Technical Career Path is designed to
identify, develop and advance employees with critical technical skills.  The
Path operates within the PD&E organizations of Brunswick marine and fitness
businesses, in parallel with -- and as an alternative to -- the Company's
existing more traditional managerial career path, offering similar progression
opportunities through multiple salary grade levels.  It is based on the
Technical Specialist Program, which has been operated by Mercury Marine for some
time.

However, the Career Path is significantly enhanced and expanded to better meet
the needs of all Brunswick companies as well as provide additional opportunities
both to embark upon, and to progress within, a career in technical leadership
and specialization.  Significant benchmarking of the Technical Career Path
programs in industry-leading product companies, such as Ford Motor and John
Deere, was completed and the findings integrated to ensure that best-practices
were understood and embodied in the Brunswick program.

Throughout Brunswick, in many technical disciplines the Company has talented
leaders who are relied upon by colleagues within their respective businesses
and, in many cases, within the Corporation as a whole, to advance the
application of their technical discipline, drive product innovation and provide
technical advice, guidance and problem-solving ability.

"The Technical Career Path Program, believed to be the most comprehensive in the
global marine and fitness industries, is designed to first help drive technology
and innovation consistent with our strategy to achieve product leadership; but,
just as importantly, will help attract, develop, motivate and retain the talent
that is so important to supporting our aggressive growth strategy moving
forward," explained David Foulkes, Brunswick's chief technical officer.  "We see
it as an important element to our maintaining our competitive advantage."
