On October 20, 2009, Flowserve Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing
that it has established, effective immediately, the “Office of the CFO” and divided the
responsibilities of the office between Richard J. Guiltinan, Jr., the Company’s Vice President
Finance and Chief Accounting Officer, and Dean P. Freeman, the Company’s Vice President Finance and
Treasurer. Mark A. Blinn, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, had served as the
Company’s chief financial officer through his promotion.
The establishment of the Office of the CFO results in Mr. Guiltinan maintaining his leadership
role as principal accounting officer and assuming managerial responsibility for the Company’s
corporate tax function. Mr. Guiltinan is also designated as the Company’s principal financial
officer for external reporting purposes. Additionally, Mr. Freeman maintains his treasury
leadership role and assumes managerial responsibility for the Company’s financial planning and
analysis and investor relations function.
Mr. Guiltinan, age 55, has served as the Company’s principal accounting officer since 2004.
Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Guiltinan served as CFO of Caltex Corporation, a joint venture
between Chevron and Texaco. Mr. Freeman, age 45, joined the Company as vice president of finance
for the Flowserve Pump Division in 2006 and was promoted to treasurer in May 2009. Prior to joining
the Company, Mr. Freeman served as CFO of European Operations for Stanley Works Corporation.
Neither Mr. Guiltinan nor Mr. Freeman has an employment agreement with the Company.
The press release issued by the Company on October 20, 2009 announcing the foregoing events is
