TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 8.01 Other Events.
Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (the Company) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K (Form 8-K)
to update certain financial information in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
January 1, 2011 filed on February 18, 2011(Form 10-K). The update pertains to the realignment
of certain segment net sales and segment profit from the Construction and Do-it Yourself (CDIY)
segment to the Industrial segment to align the reporting with the current management of certain
industrial end customers to be comparable with the current year presentation. Accordingly, segment
net sales and segment profit have been adjusted between the CDIY and Industrial segments.
Additionally the associated goodwill of each segment was reclassified between segments to reflect
the change. There is no impact to the consolidated financial statements of the Company as a result
of this segment realignment.
This Form 8-K presents disclosures updated from the Companys originally filed Form 10-K to reflect
the realignment of these segments for all periods presented. The updates to the Form 10-K, as set
forth in this Form 8-K, for this realignment are consistent with the presentation in the Companys
quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for each quarterly period in the current fiscal year. The sections of
the Form 10-K affected by these changes are Items 7 and 8.
Further, certain disclosures contained in Items 7 and 8 of the Form 10-K have been enhanced
pursuant to certain comments contained in a Securities and Exchange Commission comment letter the
Company received on April 4, 2011. Additionally, the Company has reclassified certain amounts as
discussed in Note U to the consolidated financial statements, which had no impact on the net assets
of the entities.
All such updated and enhanced items of the Form 10-K are set forth in their entirety in Exhibits
99.1 through 99.3 hereto, and are incorporated by reference herein.
We have not updated or enhanced any other disclosures presented in our Form 10-K. All other
information is presented as of the original filing date and has not been updated in this Form 8-K.
Without limitation of the foregoing, this Form 8-K does not purport to update the Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Form 10-K
with respect to any uncertainties, transactions, risks, events or trends occurring, or known to
management. More current information is included in the Companys other filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. This Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K and the
Companys other filings. Other filings may contain important information regarding uncertainties,
trends, risks, events, transactions, developments and updates to certain expectations of the
Company that may have been reported since the filing of the Form 10-K.
