Briggs & Stratton Corporation (the "Company") today
announced that Todd J. Teske,
Chairman, President & CEO, has adopted an individual stock
trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.
Mr. Teske informed the Company that he intends to sell a total
of 100,000 shares of Company common stock that would be issued as a
result of the exercise of stock options that will expire in

the date(s) the stock options are exercised exceeds the exercise
price of the stock options.
Other Company executives may from time to time adopt Rule 10b5-1
plans.
