Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure
On November 13, 2000, the Company is making a presentation in New York City
to a large group of institutional holders and analysts. During this
presentation, a number of the Company's executive officers, independent
subsidiary officers and certain operating company Presidents are making
individual presentations regarding the Company and certain of its segments and
individual operating businesses. The presentation materials are being furnished
as an Exhibit with this Report. The materials are also available on the
Company's website, http://www.dovercorporation.com, in the section marked
"Presentations", where they will remain available for approximately 30 days.
While the Company does not believe that the presentation includes any
previously non-public material information, the Company has elected to furnish
this information in this Report and make the information available on its
website to the general investing public.
To facilitate the Company's electronic submission of this Report,
forty-four (44) slides from the presentation materials containing incidental
presentation headings and subheadings, operating company logos, product
pictures and plant photographs have been omitted. The full set of slides is
available on the Company's website noted above.
Certain statements made in this Report (including the Exhibit) may be
"forward looking" statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws.
These statements may relate to matters such as anticipated financial
performance, business prospects, technological developments, new products,
expectations for market segments and growth. "Forwarding looking" statements are
subject to inherent uncertainties and risks including, among other things:
increasing competition; technological developments; and the ability to continue
to introduce competitive new products and services on a timely, cost-effective
basis. Please refer to the paragraph in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
under the heading "Special Notes Regarding Forward Looking Statements" for other
such factors and further information about forward looking statements. In light
of these risks and uncertainties, actual events and results may vary
significantly from those included in, or contemplated or implied by, such
forward looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
such statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these
statements. In addition, this Report (including the Exhibit) may contain
information from third parties which the Company believes is reliable, but as to
which the Company expressly denies any responsibility as to its accuracy or
reliability.
