This year’s mandatory Say-on-Pay (SOP) brought new challenges for issuers. Not only did the pace of failed plans accelerate, but last year’s votes proved to be a poor indicator of how companies’ plans would fare this season. This report, which will be updated at the conclusion of the calendar year, will point out some high-level trends in the voting data for companies with low SOP votes so far this year.
Although receiving at least 50% support on SOP is the primary goal for issuers, in many cases the institutional investor community will apply heightened scrutiny to compensation plans that received “significant” opposition. Thus, the data set we reviewed in this report—shown in Appendix A—covers plans that received less than 70% support. Following our analysis of these data is a brief section on guidance for issuers, both how to recover from a failed SOP vote in 2012 and how to prepare for 2013.

2. PART I
ITEM 1. Business
General
Illinois Tool Works Inc. (the quot;quot;Company'' or quot;quot;ITW'') was founded in 1912 and incorporated in 1915. The
Company is a worldwide manufacturer of highly engineered products and specialty systems.
The Company has approximately 600 operations in 43 countries which are aggregated and organized for
internal reporting purposes into the following Ñve continuing segments:
Engineered Products Ì North America: Businesses that are located in North America and the manufac-
ture short lead-time plastic and metal components and fasteners, and specialty products such as polymers,
Öuid products and resealable packaging.
Engineered Products Ì International: Businesses that are located outside North America and that
manufacture short lead-time plastic and metal components and fasteners, and specialty products such as
polymers, Öuid products and electronic component packaging.
Specialty Systems Ì North America: Businesses that are located in North America and that produce
longer lead-time machinery and related consumables, and specialty equipment for applications such as food
service and industrial Ñnishing.
Specialty Systems Ì International: Businesses that are located outside North America and that manu-
facture longer lead-time machinery and related consumables, and specialty equipment for applications such as
food service and industrial Ñnishing.
Leasing & Investments: Businesses that make opportunistic investments in mortgage-related assets,
leveraged and direct Ñnancing leases of aircraft and other equipment, properties and property developments,
aÅordable housing and a venture capital fund.
In November 1999, a wholly owned subsidiary of ITW merged with Premark International, Inc.
(quot;quot;Premark''), a commercial manufacturer of food equipment and laminate products. Shareholders of Premark
received .8081 shares of ITW common stock in exchange for each share of Premark common stock
outstanding. A total of 49,781,665 of ITW common shares were issued to the former Premark shareholders in
connection with the merger.
The merger was accounted for under the pooling-of-interests accounting method. Accordingly, ITW's
historical Ñnancial statements for periods prior to the merger have been restated to include the results of
operations, Ñnancial position and cash Öows of Premark as though the companies had been combined during
such periods.
In December 2001, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the divestiture of the Consumer
Products segment. These businesses became part of ITW in 1999 with the Premark merger. The segment is
comprised of the following businesses: Precor specialty exercise equipment, West Bend appliances and
premium cookware, and Florida Tile ceramic tile. The Company's consolidated Ñnancial statements have been
restated for all periods to present these businesses as discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 30. The Company intends to divest these businesses through sale transactions in
2002 and does not expect to incur a loss on their disposal.
During the Ñve-year period ending December 31, 2001, the Company acquired and disposed of numerous
other operations which did not materially impact consolidated results.

The Company's growth has resulted from developing new and improved products, broadening the
application of established products, continuing eÅorts to improve and develop new methods, processes and
equipment, and from acquisitions. Many new products are designed to reduce customers' costs by eliminating
steps in their manufacturing processes, reducing the number of parts in an assembly, or by improving the
quality of customers' assembled products. Typically, the development of such products is accomplished by
working closely with customers on speciÑc applications. IdentiÑable research and development costs are set
forth on page 39 of the Company's 2001 Annual Report to Stockholders.
The Company owns approximately 3,000 unexpired United States patents covering articles, methods and
machines. Many counterparts of these patents have also been obtained in various foreign countries. In
addition, the Company has approximately 1,200 applications for patents pending in the United States Patent
OÇce, but there is no assurance that any patent will be issued. The Company maintains an active patent
department for the administration of patents and processing of patent applications.
The Company believes that many of its patents are valuable and important. Nevertheless, the Company
credits its leadership in the markets it serves to engineering capability; manufacturing techniques, skills and
eÇciency; marketing and sales promotion; and service and delivery of quality products to its customers.
Trademarks
Many of the Company's products are sold under various trademarks owned or licensed by the Company.
Among the most signiÑcant are: ITW, Apex, Bernard, Buildex, Chemtronics, Corex, Deltar, Devcon,
DeVilbiss, Dymon, Dynatec, Fastex, Foster, Hi-Cone, Hobart, Keps, LPS, Magna, MagnaÖux, Miller, Mima,

Tempil, Tenax, Texwipe, Traulsen, Tri-Mark, Vulcan, West Bend, Wilsonart, and Zip-Pak.
Environmental
The Company believes that its plants and equipment are in substantial compliance with applicable
environmental regulations. Additional measures to maintain compliance are not expected to materially aÅect
the Company's capital expenditures, competitive position, Ñnancial position or results of operations.
Various legislative and administrative regulations concerning environmental issues have become eÅective
or are under consideration in many parts of the world relating to manufacturing processes, and the sale or use
of certain products. To date, such developments have not had a substantial adverse impact on the Company's
sales or earnings. The Company has made considerable eÅorts to develop and sell environmentally compatible
products resulting in new and expanding marketing opportunities.
Employees
The Company employed approximately 52,000 persons as of December 31, 2001 and considers its
employee relations to be excellent.

5. International

approximately 37% of operating revenues in 2001 and 36% in 2000.
Refer to pages 25 through 33 and 51 through 52 in the Company's 2001 Annual Report to Stockholders

ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings
The United States Environmental Protection Agency has issued a proposed Ñne of $1,259,000 against one
of the Company's businesses for alleged violation of hazardous waste regulations issued under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976. The proposed Ñne principally relates to activities at a facility in
Kansas City that took place prior to ITW's acquisition of the business in July 1998. The Company never
operated at the Kansas City facility. The former owners of the business have indemniÑed ITW with respect to
the matter, insofar as it relates to pre-acquisition activities. ITW and the former owners are in current
negotiations with The United States Environmental Protection Agency regarding the amount of the Ñne.
