ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES	ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES European Major Domestic Appliance Business Held for Sale On January 16, 2023, Whirlpool entered into a contribution agreement with Arcelik to carve out and contribute our major domestic appliance European business operations into a newly formed European appliance company which constitutes a combination of Arcelik's and Whirlpool's European businesses. The sale included the Company's major domestic appliance business in EMEA, including nine production sites. On June 22, 2023, Whirlpool entered into a share purchase agreement with Arcelik for the sale of our MENA business. The sale was previously agreed upon in principle and announced on January 17, 2023, as part of the outcome of Whirlpool’s strategic review of the EMEA business. The financial impact of the MENA transaction was included in the loss on sale and disposal of businesses related to the European major domestic appliance business transaction as discussed further below. The disposal group met the criteria for held for sale accounting during the fourth quarter of 2022. The operations of the European disposal group did not meet the criteria to be presented as discontinued operations. On April 1, 2024, the parties closed the aforementioned contribution transaction and MENA sale. Upon closing in the second quarter of 2024, the transaction resulted in the deconsolidation of the European major appliances and MENA businesses. Whirlpool owns approximately 25% and Arcelik owns approximately 75% of the European appliance company Beko Europe. In connection with the transactions, we recorded a loss on disposal of $1.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022. The loss included a write-down of the net assets of $1.2 billion of the disposal group to a fair value of $139 million and also includes $393 million of cumulative currency translation adjustments, $98 million of other comprehensive loss on pension and $18 million of other transaction related costs. No goodwill was included in the disposal group. We recorded adjustments of $404 million, including $45 million and $292 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, resulting in a total loss of $1.9 billion for the transaction. These adjustments are recorded in the loss on sale of disposal of businesses and reflect ongoing reassessment of the fair value less costs to sell of the disposal group, transaction costs and provision for tax related indemnities recorded at closing of the transaction. Both Whirlpool and Arcelik retain an option for Arcelik to purchase the remaining equity interest in Beko for fair value, which could be material to the financial statements of the Company, depending on the performance of the business. Whirlpool India share sale On February 20, 2024, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Whirlpool Mauritius Limited (“Seller”), executed the sale of 30.4 million equity shares of Whirlpool India via an on-market trade. The sale, which was accounted for as an equity transaction, reduced Seller’s ownership in Whirlpool India from 75% to 51%, and generated proceeds of $462 million on settlement. We have announced our intent to reduce our ownership stake in Whirlpool India and continue to evaluate various transaction structures, including via market sale and negotiated transaction. We are targeting transaction completion around the end of 2025. Transaction proceeds are expected to further reduce debt. Sale of Whirlpool India is subject to Company board approval, and we have not recorded any impact relating to this announcement as of June 30, 2025.
