Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition. On January 29, 2024, Whirlpool Corporation issued a press release providing information regarding earnings for the fourth quarter and full year of 2023. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

As previously disclosed, Whirlpool Corporation (the "Company") has reorganized its current operating segment structure to better represent the revised structure within our portfolio transformation, including a greater focus on our strong value-creating small domestic appliance business. Effective January 1, 2024, the Company implemented this change to align with the Company's new operating structure, consistent with how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates performance and allocates resources in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Going forward the Company will conduct its business through five operating segments, which consist of Major Domestic Appliances (“MDA”) North America; MDA Europe, MDA Latin America; MDA Asia; and Small Domestic Appliances (“SDA”) Global. The MDA Europe business will be deconsolidated upon the completion of the previously disclosed European contribution agreement transaction with Arcelik, and it does not qualify for reporting as discontinued operations. Under the terms of the agreement, Whirlpool will contribute its European major domestic appliance business, and Arcelik will contribute its European major domestic appliance, consumer electronics, air conditioning, and small domestic appliance businesses into the newly formed entity of which Whirlpool will own 25% and Arcelik 75%, subject to an adjustment mechanism based on certain financial matters. Following the closing of the transaction we account for the remaining interest of 25% under equity method accounting.

The Company updated its investor relations website to present selected historical, unaudited quarterly financial information that reflects the realignment of its external segment reporting. The historical financial information is available at http://investors.whirlpoolcorp.com, and as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Unaudited Historical Operating Segment Data

Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K provides unaudited summary financial information reflecting the realignment of the Company's operating segments on the Company's historical segment results. This information remains subject to additional adjustments which may arise as we finalize the new reporting structure. Investors are cautioned that this information is unaudited, and as such has not been subject to the more rigorous standards of review for our filed financial statements. Additionally, our independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed, compiled or applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to this information and, accordingly,

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 16, 2023, Whirlpool EMEA Holdings LLC (the “Whirlpool Contributor”), a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Whirlpool Corporation (the “Company”), entered into a contribution agreement (the “Agreement”) with Ardutch B.V. (the “Arçelik Contributor” and, together with the Whirlpool Contributor, the “Contributors”), a Dutch private limited company (besloten vennootschap) and wholly owned subsidiary of Arçelik A.Ş. (“Arçelik”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, which has been approved by the Whirlpool Corporation Board of Directors, the Arçelik Contributor will carve out and contribute the European domestic appliances business operations of Arçelik into a wholly owned Dutch subsidiary of the Arçelik Contributor, Beko Europe B.V. (the “NewCo”). As part of the same Agreement, the Whirlpool Contributor will carve out and contribute its major domestic appliance European business operations of the Company into the NewCo in return for shares in the NewCo. The transaction includes Whirlpool’s nine production sites located in Italy, Poland, Slovakia, and the UK, as well as Arçelik’s two production facilities in Romania. Whirlpool’s former production facility in Russia will not be part of the combined company. Pursuant to the Agreement, as of closing of the Agreement, the Whirlpool Contributor will hold 25%, and the Arçelik Contributor will hold 75%, of the shares in NewCo, subject to an adjustment mechanism based on certain financial matters. The number of Board seats and extent of certain minority shareholder rights in NewCo will be based on the Company’s ownership percentage in NewCo, subject to certain thresholds. Separately, the Company agreed in principle to the sale of its Middle East and North Africa business to Arçelik (the sale and purchase agreement for this transaction will be the “MENA SPA”). The Company will retain ownership of its EMEA KitchenAid business, including the small domestic appliance business, and Maytag, InSinkErator, and commercial appliance businesses. The Company and Arçelik both entered into the Agreement as guarantors securing certain obligations of the Whirlpool Contributor and the Arçelik Contributor, respectively. Key terms and conditions of the Agreement include the following:

•

Closing is subject to various conditions, including the following:

•

completion of the carve-outs of the Whirlpool Contributor’s European major domestic appliance business operations and the Arçelik Contributor’s European domestic appliances business operations;

•
