Home My WebLink AboutCORRESPONDENCE - BID - 7196 WATER METERS (9)June 19, 2014 City of Fort Collins 700 Wood Street Fort Collins, CO 80521 Subject: Price Increase Dear Sir or Madame: Badger Meter continues to review our pricing and costs on an on-going basis and issue price increases as necessary. As a result of increases in raw materials used in the manufacture of our products, as well as cost increases associated with operational aspects of our business (e.g., transportation costs), as evidenced by the economic state of world trade, Badger Meter has been forced to increase prices in order to remain competitive in the market place. We are unable to provide the City of Fort Collins more detail. For legal and competitive reasons, Badger Meter does not disclose detailed information about our costs to any person or entity outside our company. We are a publicly held corporation, traded on the New York Stock Exchange, which subjects us to certain rules of disclosure. Specifically, public companies are prohibited by federal securities laws from selective disclosure of information that may impact the price of their stock via decisions to buy and sell (this includes selective disclosure to municipalities/utilities like Fort Collins). If public companies disclose such information, generally we must do so in a way that provides the information to the general public (for example, via a press release) and nothing less. Because the only way for us to disclose cost information to the City and comply with federal securities laws would be for us to disclose that information to the general public, and because disclosing our detailed costs to the general public would put us at a competitive disadvantage, a situation that could result in regulatory actions and shareholder lawsuits, we cannot disclose such information to the City of Fort Collins. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your continued business. BADGER METER, INC. Theresa M.
