MILWAUKEE, Aug. 17, 2011 -- A. O. Smith Corporation (NYSE: AOS) and Regal Beloit Corporation (NYSE: RBC) have reached a final agreement with the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice in connection with the government's approval of A. O. Smith's sale of its electric motor business to Regal Beloit. Subject to receipt of final court approval, the Company anticipates closing the transaction on or about Aug. 22.

"This is a critical step in completing the motor sale and redeploying the proceeds to build upon our global water heating and water treatment operations," Paul Jones, chairman and chief executive officer of A. O. Smith Corporation, said. "In addition to the Lochinvar transaction announced last month, our acquisition pipeline is active, and we are encouraged by the opportunities we see."

A. O. Smith entered into the definitive agreement with Regal Beloit Corporation to sell Electrical Products on Dec. 12, 2010, and as previously communicated, will receive $700 million in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment, and 2.83 million shares of Regal Beloit stock at closing.
