Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
During an RPM International Inc. (Company) investor conference call presentation on June 1,
2010, Frank C. Sullivan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, referred to a slide describing
anticipated fiscal year 2010 results. A copy of the slide is furnished with this report as Exhibit
99.1. All information in the slide and this report is furnished and shall not be deemed filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or
otherwise subject to the liability of that Section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by
reference into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except to the extent the
Company specifically incorporated it by reference.
Mr. Sullivans remarks concerning anticipated fiscal year 2010 results are forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements are made based on expectations and beliefs
concerning future events impacting the Company, and are subject to uncertainties and factors
(including those specified below) which are difficult to predict and, in many instances, are beyond
our control. As a result, actual results could differ materially from those expressed in or
implied by any such forward-looking statements. These uncertainties and factors include (a) global
markets and general economic conditions, including uncertainties surrounding the volatility in
financial markets, the availability of capital and the effect of changes in interest rates, and the
viability of banks and other financial institutions; (b) the prices, supply and capacity of raw
materials, including assorted pigments, resins, solvents and other natural gas- and oil-based
materials; packaging, including plastic containers; and transportation services, including fuel
surcharges; (c) continued growth in demand for our products; (d) legal, environmental and
litigation risks inherent in our construction and chemicals businesses and risks related to the
adequacy of our insurance coverage for such matters; (e) the effect of changes in interest rates;
(f) the effect of fluctuations in currency exchange rates upon our foreign operations; (g) the
effect of non-currency risks of investing in and conducting operations in foreign countries,
including those relating to domestic and international political, social, economic and regulatory
factors; (h) risks and uncertainties associated with our ongoing acquisition and divestiture
activities; (i) risks related to the adequacy of our contingent liability reserves, including for
asbestos-related claims and warranty obligations; and (j) other risks detailed in our filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2009, as the same may be updated from time to time. The
Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements to reflect future events, information or circumstances that arise after the date of this
report.
