been named vice president - corporate and investor relations,
reporting to Peter B. Hamilton, senior vice president and chief
financial officer. Byots will succeed Kathryn J. Chieger, who has
retired from Brunswick after 12 years of service. "We are very
pleased to have Bruce join our team at Brunswick. He brings a
record of achievement as well as substantial experience in many
facets of financial disciplines. He takes the reins from Kathryn
Chieger, upon whom we have relied for her wise counsel and IR
leadership for more than a decade," Hamilton said. Prior to joining
Brunswick, Byots managed the investor relations function at The
ServiceMaster Company for seven years. He was instrumental in
developing and executing overall investor strategy, while

he spent 15 years in a series of finance roles with increasing
responsibilities, including directing Stone's first department

Science degree in finance from Chicago's DePaul University. Byots
takes over from Ms. Chieger, who has led Brunswick's investor
relations and corporate communications functions since 1996.

this role until we could find the right person for the job and
manage a smooth transition," commented Dustan E. McCoy, Brunswick's
chairman and chief executive officer. "Kathryn will be missed by
Brunswick for so many reasons -- her valuable insights, her
professionalism, and her friendship. We wish her the best in a well
deserved retirement." About Brunswick Headquartered in Lake Forest,
