CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A (including any exhibits hereto) that are not historical are “forward looking statements”. In this context, forward-looking statements often address the Company’s expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “see,” or “will.” Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain and subject to risk and uncertainty. The Company’s ability to deliver the results contained in such “forward looking statements” is based on current expectations and involves inherent risks and uncertainties and other factors that could delay, divert, or change any of them, and could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from current expectations. In addition to the risks, uncertainties and other factors that may be discussed in this Current Report (including in any exhibits hereto), the risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause or contribute to actual results differing materially from those expressed or implied in the forward looking statements include, without limitation, those set forth under Item 1A Risk Factors of Stanley’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Black & Decker’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Quarter ended April 3, 2010, and any material changes thereto set forth in any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, factors set forth in the sections of Stanley’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q entitled “CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995”, and those contained in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission available at the SEC’s Internet site (http://www.sec.gov).
