CHANGE OF ADDRESS; DIVIDENDS
If your Black & Decker stock is registered in your name(s), notify EquiServe of a change of address. If your stock is registered in your name(s), you may have dividends sent electronically to a checking or savings account, and you are eligible to participate in the Black & Decker Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP). For additional information, contact EquiServe. If your stock is registered in a brokerage firm name or other "street" name, you are not eligible for direct deposit of dividends or the DRP, although your broker may provide reinvestment services.
DUPLICATE MAILINGS
If your stock is registered in similar but different names, e.g., John A. Smith and J.A. Smith, we are required to maintain separate accounts even if the mailing addresses are the same. To consolidate accounts, contact EquiServe. If your stock is registered in your name(s), duplicate Annual Reports can be eliminated if you send labels from a Black & Decker mailing to EquiServe. Labels should be marked to differentiate names to be kept on the mailing list from names to be deleted.
