NUMBER OF SHAREHOLDERS OF RECORD |
As of July 1, 2008, Fleetwood had approximately 900 shareholders of record. CERTIFICATION DISCLOSURE Because our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), our chief executive officer is required to make, and has made, an annual certification to the NYSE stating that he was not aware of any violation by Fleetwood of the corporate governance listing standards of the NYSE. The last certification to that effect was made last year following our shareholder meeting. The Company also filed the CEO and CFO certifications required under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 with the Securities and Exchange Commission as exhibits to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 27, 2008. SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Statements used in this report that relate to future plans, events, financial results or performance are forward-looking statements as defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on the beliefs of Fleetwood's management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company's management. The forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including risk factors identified in Fleetwood's 10-K, including the sections entitled "Business Outlook" and "Risk Factors." These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the lack of assurance that we will regain sustainable profitability in the foreseeable future; the effect of ongoing weakness in both the manufactured housing and the recreational vehicle markets; the effect of a decline in home equity values, volatile fuel prices and interest rates, global tensions, employment trends, stock market performance, availability of financing generally, and other factors that can and have had a negative impact on consumer confidence, which may reduce demand for our products, particularly recreational vehicles; the availability and cost of wholesale and retail financing for both manufactured housing and recreational vehicles; our ability to comply with financial tests and covenants on existing debt obligations; our ability to obtain, on reasonable terms if at all, the financing we will need in the future to execute our business strategies and to meet the repayment terms of our outstanding convertible debt instruments, including the 5% convertible senior subordinated debentures; potential dilution associated with equity financings we may undertake to raise additional capital and the risk that the equity pricing may not be favorable; the cyclical and seasonal nature of both the manufactured housing and recreational vehicle industries; the increasing costs of component parts and commodities that we may be unable to recoup in our product prices; the potential for excessive retail inventory levels in the manufactured housing and recreational vehicle industries; the volatility of our stock price; repurchase agreements with floorplan lenders, which could result in increased costs; potential increases in the frequency of product liability, wrongful death, class action, and other legal actions, including actions resulting from products we receive from our suppliers; and the highly competitive nature of our industries. Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. is an equal opportunity employer. Editor: Kathy A. Munson Design: Ervin | Bell Marketing Communications Lithographer: Southern California Graphics |
