OFFERING CIRCULAR (Subject to Completion)
Dated: November 9, 2006
464,033 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
FLOWSERVE CORPORATION
RESCISSION OFFER
Flowserve is among the largest manufacturers and aftermarket service providers of
comprehensive flow control systems in the world. Our common stock is quoted on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol FLS. Our principal executive offices are located at 5215 N. OConnor
Boulevard, Suite 2300, Irving, Texas 75039.
The Flowserve Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (the 401(k) Plan) has a common stock fund which
permits participants to direct the 401(k) Plan to acquire and dispose of interests in our common
stock. Interests in the 401(k) Plan common stock fund are accounted for as units. These units
(hereafter referred to as Units) represent a plan participants interest in our common stock held
in the participants 401(k) Plan account (at approximately 0.5535 shares of common stock per Unit),
plus a small varying amount of short-term liquid investment. Between May 1, 2005 and September 29,
2006 (the Relevant Period), due to the then non-current status of our filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the SEC) in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our registration
statements on Form S-8 were not available to cover offers and sales of securities to our employees
and other persons. As a result, the acquisition of Units by the 401(k) Plan on behalf of
participants in our 401(k) Plan did not comply with the registration requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933.
During the
period in which there was no effective registration statement, Units representing a total
of 464,033 shares of our common stock were purchased on behalf of participants in our 401(k) Plan
through application of (i) salary reduction contributions from employees, (ii) fixed matching
source funds from Flowserve and (iii) intra-plan transfers of funds by participants out of other
investments in the 401(k) Plan into Units.
Our failure to maintain the effectiveness of our registration statements on Form S-8 gives the
participants who directed the 401(k) Plan to purchase Units during the Relevant Period the right to
rescind these purchases (or recover damages if they have sold their Units) for up to one year under
federal law following the purchase of these Units.
We are offering to rescind the sale to participants of 464,033 shares of common stock purchased as
parts of Units pursuant to the 401(k) Plan during the Relevant Period pursuant to the terms of the
Rescission Offer described in this offering circular.
The purchase price for the shares of our common stock subject to the Rescission Offer ranges from
$28.21 to $60.75 per share (or from $15.61 to $33.63 per Unit) and is equal to the price paid by
those persons who purchased these shares included in the Units, excluding interest.
If you accept our Rescission Offer (and you either sold Units acquired during the Relevant Period
at a loss or your 401(k) account contains Units that were purchased at a price, which along with
applicable statutory interest, that is greater than the value of the Units at the expiration date
of the Rescission Offer), your 401(k) account will be credited with the purchase price of the
Units, plus interest at the annual statutory rate determined based upon your state of residence at
the time the Units were purchased for your account by the 401(k) Plan (less any amounts actually
received by your 401(k) Plan account in the case of Units that were sold out of your 401(k)
account). Federal law does not
provide a specific interest rate to be used in the calculation of the consideration to be received
in connection with the purchase of securities by an issuer in a Rescission Offer. We intend to use
the applicable statutory rates of interest for the purchase of Units based on your state of
residence at the time you purchased your Units, except in New York which does not specify a
particular rate of interest. For persons who were New York residents at the time of their
purchase, we will apply the rate applicable in Texas where our principal executive offices are
located. The applicable statutory rates are presented below under Questions and Answers Regarding
Rescission Offer.
As noted above, we will only purchase Units that are held in your 401(k) Plan account that were
purchased at a price that (along with interest at the applicable statutory rate) is greater than
the value of the Units at the expiration date of the Rescission Offer. If you purchased Units and
then sold them at a loss, your account in the 401(k) Plan will be credited with the full amount
you paid for the Units plus interest at the applicable statutory rate, less any amounts previously
received when you sold those Units. All such amounts will be credited
within 15 business days of the
expiration of the Rescission Offer.
This Rescission Offer is merely an offer. No recipient of this offering circular is required to
accept the Rescission Offer.
We are making this offer on the terms and conditions set forth in this offering circular. Our
Rescission Offer will remain open until 5:00 p.m. Dallas time on
_________ ___, 2006 (the
Expiration Date).
On November [ ], 2006, the last price for our common stock as reported by the New York Stock
Exchange was $XX.XX. The value of a Unit on that date was $XX.XX.
You should carefully consider the risk factors beginning on page 9 of this offering circular before
accepting this Rescission Offer.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or
disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this offering circular.
Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS REGARDING RESCISSION OFFER
You should read the following questions and answers, together with the more detailed information
regarding the Rescission Offer and the risk factors set forth elsewhere in this offering circular,
before deciding whether to accept or reject the Rescission Offer.
General
Q1: Why are we making the Rescission Offer?
A1: Plan participants can direct the 401(k) Plan to purchase Units which represent the Flowserve
common stock and cash credited to the common stock account in the 401(k) Plan. Each Unit
represents approximately 0.5535 shares of common stock plus a small varying amount of short-term
liquid investments. Although the shares of Flowserve common stock included in the Units sold to
Plan participants are purchased in the open market by Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (the
Trustee), the Trustee of the 401(k) Plan, we are required to register the sale and issuance of
these securities to 401(k) Plan participants with the SEC. We offered and sold Units, which
included shares of our common stock under our 401(k) Plan, at a time when there was no effective
registration statement covering those shares because our financial statements were not current as
they were required to be in order for the registration statement to be effective. The offer and
sale of these Units at a time when there was not an effective registration statement did not comply
with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. As a result, current and former
participants who acquired these securities have a right to rescind their directed purchases of
Units made under the 401(k) Plan or to recover damages if they no longer own the Units, subject to
applicable statutes of limitations and other available defenses. The Rescission Offer is intended
to address this compliance issue by allowing participants who directed the 401(k) Plan to purchase
Units covered by the Rescission Offer to rescind the underlying securities transactions and sell
those securities to us or to recover damages, as the case may be.
Q2: Which Units are included in the Rescission Offer?
A2: We are offering, upon the terms and conditions described in this offering circular, to rescind
the sale to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of participants of 464,033 shares of common stock included
within Units purchased at participant direction during the seventeen month period from May 1, 2005
through September 29, 2006. According to our records, the shares of common stock included within
these Units were purchased at prices ranging from $28.21 to $60.75 per share (or from $15.61 to
$33.63 per Unit).
Q3: Does it matter whether I directed the 401(k) Plan to purchase the Units through salary
deferrals, rollover contributions, loan repayments, company fixed matching contributions or fund
exchanges?
A3: No. All purchases of Units made pursuant to the 401(k) Plan (other than Units that resulted
from award of Company discretionary contributions to the 401(k) Plan) during the seventeen month
period from May 1, 2005 through September 29, 2006 will be considered when determining whether you
are eligible to accept the Rescission Offer.
Q4: When does the Rescission Offer expire?
A4:
The Rescission Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m. Dallas time on _________ ___, 2006, which is
referred to in this document as the Expiration Date.
Q5: What will I receive if I accept the Rescission Offer?
A5: If you accept the Rescission Offer with respect to the Units you directed the 401(k) Plan to
purchase during the Relevant Period, we will purchase the Units you hold that are subject to the
Rescission offer at the price per Unit the 401(k) Plan paid, plus interest at the applicable
statutory rate per year, from the date of purchase through the Expiration Date if the price the
401(k) Plan paid per Unit (determined on a purchase by purchase basis) plus interest exceeds the
value of a Unit on the Expiration Date. Any Units held in your 401(k) Plan account that were
acquired by the 401(k) Plan during the Relevant Period at a price (plus interest at the applicable
statutory rate) that does not exceed
4
the value of a Unit on the Expiration Date will not be purchased pursuant to this Rescission Offer.
The legal rates of interest for the purchase of Units will be based on your state of residence
when you purchased your Units, except in New York (where no specific rate is specified and where we
will pay the rate applicable in Texas). These interest rates are as follows:

Q6: Can you give me an example of what will be credited to my 401(k) Plan account if I accept the
Rescission Offer?
A6: If the price the 401(k) Plan paid for your Units representing shares of common stock (plus
interest at the applicable statutory rate per annum) (considered on a purchase-by-purchase basis)
during to Relevant Period is more than the value of those Units at the Expiration Date, we will
purchase any such Units from your 401(k) Plan account, subject to the terms of this Rescission
Offer, at the price the 401(k) Plan paid for the Units, plus interest at the applicable statutory
rate per year, from the date of purchase through the Expiration Date. The following example
assumes that: (i) you accept the Rescission Offer, (ii) you were a California resident at the time
of your purchase of Units, (iii) you presently hold in your 401(k) Plan account Units representing
100 shares of our common stock that you purchased in November 2005 (i.e., one year ago) at a per
share price of $33.50 and (iv) the price per share of our common stock on the Expiration Date is
$25.00 (i.e., less than the $33.50 purchase price, plus applicable interest as calculated below).
In these circumstances, you would receive:
|
|
|
The original purchase price = 100 x $33.50 = $3,350.00. |
|
|
|
|
Plus simple interest at 7 percent per year = $3,350.00 x 7 percent x 1 year = $234.50. |
|
|
|
|
For a total of $3,584.50. |
Please note, however, that if in this example, the price of a share of our common stock was greater
than $35.84 per share on the Expiration Date, we would not acquire the Units because the price the
401(k) Plan paid (plus interest) for the Units on your behalf was not greater than the value of the
Units on the Expiration Date. If you accept the Rescission Offer and some of your 401(k) Plan
Units were purchased at a price that (along with applicable interest) was greater than the value of
the Units on the Expiration Date, while others were purchased at a price that (along with
applicable interest) was lower than the value of the Units on the Expiration Date, we will only
purchase those Units the purchase price of which (along with applicable interest) is greater than
the value of the Units on the Expiration Date and not any other Units.
Q7: What if I already sold some or all of the Units subject to the Rescission Offer?
A7: If you directed the 401(k) Plan to purchase Units during the Relevant Period and you have since
disposed of them for less than the amount you paid for such Units, if you accept the Rescission
Offer your 401(k) Plan account will
5
be entitled to receive the full amount that the 401(k) Plan paid for those Units plus interest at
the applicable statutory rate per annum, but less any amounts your 401(k) Plan account previously
received when you disposed of those Units. If your 401(k) Plan account has already received more
for those Units than it would otherwise be entitled to under the Rescission Offer, your 401(k) Plan
account will not be credited with any payment under the Rescission Offer.
Q8: Have any Flowserve officers, directors or five percent shareholders advised Flowserve whether
they will participate in the Rescission Offer?
A8:
Two of our officers, who hold a total of 1,060.27 shares of common stock, as part of Units
subject to this Rescission Offer, are eligible to participate in the Rescission Offer. We have
been advised that these officers do not intend to accept the Rescission Offer. None of our
directors are eligible to participate in this offer. If all eligible persons (other than our
officers) accept the Rescission Offer, our officers and directors respective ownership interests
in Flowserve would not materially increase.
Q9: If I do not accept the offer now, can I direct the sale of my Units?
A9: If you do not accept the Rescission Offer, you can direct the sale of the Units representing
shares of common stock in your 401(k) Plan account that were subject to the Rescission Offer in
accordance with the terms of the 401(k) Plan unless you are subject to our Insider Trading Policy
requirements or any other transfer restrictions. Sales are accomplished by re-directing your
401(k) Plan investments into other 401(k) Plan funds.
Q10: What do I need to do now to accept or reject the Rescission Offer?
A10: To accept the Rescission Offer, you must complete and sign the accompanying rescission offer
acceptance form (see Appendix A) and return it to Flowserve Corporation, 5215 N. OConnor Blvd.,
Suite 2300, Irving, Texas 75039 attention: Tara D. Mackey, Esq., as soon as practical but in no
event later than _________ ___, 2006. No action is required to reject the offer.
Q11: Can I accept the Rescission Offer in part?
A11: No. Your acceptance covers all of the Units that might be purchased pursuant to this
Rescission Offer. As discussed above, however, in the example in response to Question 6,
accepting the Rescission Offer, in full, as required does not mean that all of the Units acquired
by the 401(k) Plan on your behalf during the Relevant Period will be purchased by us in the
Rescission Offer. If you accept the Rescission Offer we will purchase all of the Units in your
401(k) account that were purchased during the Relevant Period and later sold at a loss and all of
the Units that remain in your 401(k) account that were purchased by the 401(k) Plan on your behalf
at a price (plus interest at the applicable statutory rate as described above) that is greater than
the value of a Unit at the Expiration Date. The value of a Unit at the Expiration Date will be
determined by reference to the closing price of a share of our common stock on the Expiration Date.
You do not have the right to elect to accept the Rescission Offer only as to some of these loss
Units.
Q12: What happens if I do not return my Rescission Offer acceptance form?
A12: If you do not return a properly completed acceptance form before the Expiration Date, you will
be deemed to have rejected the offer.
Q13: What remedies or rights do I have now that I will not have after the Rescission Offer?
A13: It is unclear whether or not you will have a right of rescission under federal securities laws
after the Rescission Offer. The staff of the SEC is of the opinion that a persons right of
rescission created under the Securities Act of 1933 may survive the Rescission Offer. However,
federal courts in the past have ruled that a person who rejects or fails to accept a Rescission
Offer is precluded from later seeking similar relief. Generally, the federal statute of
limitations for noncompliance with the requirement to register securities under the Securities Act
of 1933 is one year from the date of the violation upon which the action to enforce liability is
based (i.e., the date shares were purchased in a non-compliant offering).
6
The state remedies and statutes of limitations vary from state to state. We believe that the sale
and issuance of shares of our common stock included in the Units were exempt from registration
under state laws. Under most state laws, acceptance or rejection of the Rescission Offer may
preclude you from maintaining an action against us in connection with the Units that were purchased
during the Relevant Period, even if the initial sale and issuance of securities had been required
to be qualified under state law. We have included a summary of the statutes of limitations and the
effect of the Rescission Offer for the states in which the shares covered by this Rescission Offer
were sold, which appears under Rescission Offer Effect of Rescission Offer in this document.
We believe that your acceptance of the Rescission Offer will preclude you from later seeking
similar relief. You may wish to consult an attorney regarding all of your
legal rights and remedies before deciding whether or not to accept the Rescission Offer.
While we are making this Rescission Offer to all current and former participants in the 401(k) Plan
who were residents of the United States and direct the 401(k) Plan to purchase Units during the
Relevant Period, we may assert applicable statute of limitations or the availability of any
exemption or preclusion that may have applied to our offer and sale of the Units as defenses for
any claim made against us in respect of the offer and sale of the Units subject to this Rescission
Offer.
Q14: How will the Rescission Offer be funded?
A14: The Rescission Offer will be funded from our existing cash balances. If all persons eligible
to participate in the Rescission Offer accept our offer to the full extent, our results of
operations, cash balances or financial condition will not be materially adversely affected if the
price for a share of our common stock is at or higher than its current level ($[___] on November
___, 2006).
Q15: Can I change my mind after I have mailed my signed acceptance form?
A15: Yes. You can change your decision about accepting our Rescission Offer at any time before the
Expiration Date. If you change your decision and want to reject the Rescission Offer after having
submitted the Rescission Offer acceptance form then you may reject the Rescission Offer by sending
a notice that includes your name, signature, address, social security number or taxpayer
identification number and a clear indication that you are rejecting the Rescission Offer to the
attention of Tara D. Mackey, Esq., Flowserve Corporation, 5215 N. OConnor Blvd., Suite 2300,
Irving, Texas 75039. We must receive this notice of rejection on or before the Expiration Date.
Otherwise, you will be deemed to have accepted the Rescission Offer pursuant to your original
Rescission Offer acceptance form(s).
Q16: Who can help answer my questions?
A16: You can call Tara D. Mackey, Esq., Senior Compliance Counsel, at Flowserve at (972) 443-6610
with questions about the Rescission Offer.
Q17: Where can I get more information about Flowserve?
A17: In addition to the detailed information about Flowserve that is contained in this offering
circular, you can obtain more information about Flowserve from the filings we make from time to
time with the SEC. These filings are available on the SECs website at www.sec.gov.

manufacture a small portion of our pumps through several foreign joint ventures. We market our
pump products through our worldwide sales force and our regional service and repair centers or
through independent distributors and sales representatives.
Through our Flow Control Division (FCD), we design, manufacture and distribute valves, actuators
and related equipment. FCDs valve products are an integral part of a flow control system and are
used to control the flow of liquids and gases. Typically, our valves are specialized and
engineered to perform specific functions within a flow control system. FCDs products are
primarily used by companies that operate in the chemical, power generation, oil and gas and general
industries, including water, mining and pharmaceutical. We produce the vast majority of our
products at 22 principal manufacturing facilities, with only 5 of the 22 plants located in the
United States. A small portion of our valves are produced through foreign joint ventures.
Through FSD, we engineer, manufacture and sell mechanical seals, auxiliary systems and parts,
and provide related services, principally to process industries and general industrial markets,
with similar products sold internally in support of FPD. FSD has added to its global operations and
has eight manufacturing operations, four of which are located in the U.S. FSD operates 66 Quick
Response Centers (QRCs) worldwide, including 24 sites in North America, 16 in Europe, and the
remainder in South America and Asia. Our ability to rapidly deliver mechanical sealing technology
through global engineering tools, locally sited QRCs and on-site engineers represents a significant
competitive advantage. This business model has enabled FSD to establish a large number of alliances
with multi-national customers. Based on independent industry sources, we believe that we are the
second largest mechanical seal supplier in the world.

Recent Developments
|
|
|
On August 13, 2006, our shareholder rights agreement (Rights Agreement) expired
pursuant to its terms and our board of directors determined that it was in the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders not to renew the Rights Agreement. In
conjunction with this decision, our board of directors authorized certain amendments to
Flowserves Certificate of Incorporation, effective August 15, 2006 which, among other
things, eliminated references to the Companys Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the Series A Preferred Shares). Under the terms of the
Rights Agreement, each outstanding share of our common stock was accompanied by the right
to purchase, under certain circumstances, one one-hundredth of a share of the Series A
Preferred Shares (a Right). As of the expiration of the Rights Agreement, shares of
Flowserves common stock no longer are accompanied by a Right and our board of directors
determined that it was no longer necessary to continue to have the Series A Preferred
Shares as an authorized class of securities. |
|
|
|
|
On September 29, 2006, we issued a press release announcing that we filed our Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31 and June 30, 2006 with the
SEC and, as a result of these filings (and the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, on November 9, 2006), we are now current with all
our financial reporting obligations, year to date. |
|
|
|
|
Also, on September 29, 2006 we issued a press release announcing that our board of
directors authorized a program to repurchase up to 2.0 million shares of our outstanding
common stock. We reserve the right not to commence this program or to terminate this
program at any time. |

RISK FACTORS
Any of the events discussed as risk factors below may occur. If they do, our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected. Additional
risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also
impair our business operations.
Risks Related to the Rescission Offer
We may continue to have potential liability even after this Rescission Offer is made.
The Securities Act of 1933 does not provide that a rescission offer will extinguish a holders
right to rescind the issuance of shares that were not registered or exempt from the registration
requirements under the Securities Act of 1933. Consequently, should any recipient of our
Rescission Offer reject the offer, expressly or impliedly, we may remain liable under the
Securities Act of 1933 for the purchase price of the Units purchased
by the 401(k) Plan at the direction of participants during the
Relevant Period. Additionally, regulatory authorities may require us to pay fines or they may
impose sanctions on us, and we may face other claims by participants other than rescission claims.
9
Your federal and state rights of rescission may not survive if you affirmatively reject or fail to
accept the Rescission Offer.
If you affirmatively reject or fail to accept the Rescission Offer, it is unclear whether or not
you will have a right of rescission under federal securities laws after the expiration of the
Rescission Offer. The staff of the SEC is of the opinion that a
persons right of rescission created under the Securities Act of 1933 may survive the Rescission
Offer. However, federal courts in the past have ruled that a person who rejects or fails to accept
a rescission offer is precluded from later seeking similar relief.
The Rescission Offer may also affect your right of rescission and your right to damages under state
law. We believe that the sale and issuance of shares of our common stock included in the Units that
are the subject of the Rescission Offer were exempt from registration under state laws. Under most
state law, acceptance or rejection of the Rescission Offer may preclude you from maintaining an
action against us in connection with the shares of our common stock included in the Units purchased
during the Relevant Period. We may assert, among other defenses, in any litigation initiated by a
person eligible to participate in the Rescission Offer who accepts or rejects the Rescission Offer,
that such person is estopped from asserting such claims as a result of the Rescission Offer.
Statutes of limitations under state laws vary by state, with the limitation time period under many
state statutes not typically beginning until the facts giving rise to a violation are known. Our
Rescission Offer does not constitute a waiver by us of any applicable statute of limitations or any
potential defenses that we may have.
Risks related to Flowserve
We have material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which could
adversely affect our ability to report our financial condition and results of operations accurately
and on a timely basis.
In connection with our 2005 assessment of internal control over financial reporting under
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Sarbanes Oxley), we identified material weaknesses
in our internal control. We have taken measures to strengthen our internal control in response to
the previously identified material weaknesses, including by implementing strengthened control
procedures for information technology infrastructure, enhancing company-level monitoring controls
processes and expanding our internal audit and corporate compliance functions, and engaged outside
consultants to assist us in our efforts.
Material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting could adversely impact
our ability to provide timely and accurate financial information. While we have taken measures to
strengthen our internal control in response to the previously identified material weaknesses,
including by implementing strengthened control procedures for information technology
infrastructure, enhancing company-level monitoring controls processes and expanding our internal
audit and corporate compliance functions, and engaged outside consultants to assist us in our
efforts, additional work remains to be done to address the identified material weaknesses. If we
are unsuccessful in implementing or following our current remediation action plans, or fail to
update our internal control as our business evolves or to integrate acquired businesses into our
controls system, we may not be able to timely or accurately report our financial condition, results
of operations or cash flows or maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures. If we are
unable to report financial information timely and accurately or to maintain effective disclosure
controls and procedures, we could be subject to, among other things, regulatory or enforcement
actions by the SEC and the NYSE, including a delisting from the NYSE, securities litigation, events
of default under our new credit facilities, debt rating agency downgrades or rating withdrawals,
and a general loss of investor confidence, any one of which could adversely affect our business
prospects and the valuation of our common stock.
Furthermore, there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of controls and
procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the
controls and procedures. We could face additional litigation exposure and a greater likelihood of
an SEC enforcement or NYSE regulatory action if further financial restatements were to occur or
other accounting-related problems emerge. In addition, any future restatements or other
accounting-related problems may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows.
10
If we fail to comply with the requirements of Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley, our business
prospects and stock valuation could be adversely affected.
Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley requires our management to report on, and our independent
registered public accounting firm to attest to, the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting. This legislation is relatively new, and neither companies nor accounting firms
have significant experience in complying with its requirements. We expended significant resources
to comply with our obligations under Section 404 with respect to 2004 and 2005. If we are unable to
comply with our obligations under Section 404 in the future or experience delays in future reports
of our management and outside auditors on our internal control over financial reporting, or if we
fail to respond timely to any changes in the Section 404 requirements, we may be unable to timely
file with the SEC our annual or periodic reports and may be subject to, among other things,
regulatory or enforcement actions by the SEC and the NYSE, including delisting from the NYSE,
securities litigation, events of default under our new credit facilities, debt rating agency
downgrades or rating withdrawals and a general loss of investor confidence, any one of which could
adversely affect our business prospects and the valuation of our common stock.
We are currently subject to securities class action litigation, the unfavorable outcome of which
might have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows.
A number of putative class action lawsuits have been filed against us, certain of our former
officers, our independent auditors and the lead underwriters of our most recent public stock
offerings, alleging securities laws violations. We believe that these lawsuits, which have been
consolidated, are without merit and are vigorously defending them and have notified our applicable
insurers. We cannot, however, determine with certainty the outcome or resolution of these claims or
the timing for their resolution. The consolidated securities case is currently set for trial on
October 1, 2007. In addition to the expense and burden incurred in defending this litigation and
any damages that we may suffer, our managements efforts and attention may be diverted from the
ordinary business operations in order to address these claims. If the final resolution of this
litigation is unfavorable to us, our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows might be materially adversely affected if our existing insurance coverage is unavailable
or inadequate to resolve the matter.
The ongoing SEC and foreign government investigation regarding our participation in the United
Nations Oil-for-Food Program could materially adversely affect our Company.
On February 7, 2006, we received a subpoena from the SEC regarding goods and services that certain
foreign subsidiaries delivered to Iraq from 1996 through 2003 during the United Nations
Oil-for-Food Program. This investigation includes a review of whether any inappropriate payments
were made to Iraqi officials in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The investigation
includes periods prior to, as well as subsequent to our acquisition of the foreign operations
involved in the investigation. We may be subject to liabilities if violations are found regardless
of whether they relate to periods before or subsequent to our acquisition.
In addition, one of our foreign subsidiarys operations is cooperating with a foreign governmental
investigation of that sites involvement in the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program. This
cooperation has included responding to an investigative trip by foreign authorities to the foreign
subsidiarys site, providing relevant documentation to these authorities and answering their
questions. We are unable to predict how or if the foreign authorities will pursue this matter in
the future.
We believe that both the SEC and this foreign authority are investigating other companies from
their actions arising from the Oil-for-Food program.
We are in the process of reviewing and responding to the SEC subpoena and assessing the
implications of the foreign investigation, including the continuation of a thorough internal
investigation. Our investigation is in the early stages and has included and will include a
detailed review of contracts with the Iraqi government during the period in question and certain
payments associated therewith. Additionally, we have and will continue to conduct interviews with
employees with knowledge of the contracts and payments in question. We are in the early phases of
our internal investigation and as a result are unable to make any definitive determination whether
any inappropriate payments were made and accordingly are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of
this matter.
11
We will continue to fully cooperate in both the SEC and the foreign investigations. Both
investigations are in progress but, at this point, are incomplete. Accordingly, if the SEC and/or
the foreign authorities take enforcement action with regard to these investigations, we may be
required to pay fines, consent to injunctions against future conduct or suffer other penalties
which could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition, results or
operations and cash flows.
Potential noncompliance with U.S. export control laws could materially adversely affect our
business.
We have notified applicable U.S. governmental authorities of our plans to investigate, analyze and,
if applicable, disclose past potential violations of the U.S. export control laws through, in
general, the export of products, services and technologies without the licenses possibly required
by such authorities. If and to the extent violations are identified, confirmed and so disclosed, we
could be subject to substantial fines and other penalties affecting our ability to do business
outside the United States.
Our risks involved in conducting our international business operations include, without limitation,
the risks associated with certain of our foreign subsidiaries autonomously conducting, under their
own local authority and consistent with U.S. export laws, business operations and sales, which
constitute approximately 1-2% of our consolidated global revenue, in Iran, Syria and Sudan, which
have each been designated by the U.S. State Department as state sponsors of terrorism. Due to the
growing political uncertainties associated with these countries, we have been planning to
voluntarily withdraw, on a phased basis, from conducting new business in these countries since
early in 2006. However, these subsidiaries will continue to honor existing contracts, commitments
and warranty obligations that are in compliance with U.S. laws and regulations.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is auditing our tax returns, and a negative outcome of the
audit would require us to make additional tax payments that may be material.
The IRS substantially concluded its audit of our U.S. federal income tax returns for the years
1999 through 2001 during December 2005. Based on its audit work, the IRS issued proposed
adjustments to increase taxable income during 1999 through 2001 by $12.8 million, and to deny
foreign tax credits of $2.4 million in the aggregate. The tax liability resulting from these
proposed adjustments will be offset with foreign tax credit carryovers and other refund claims,
which were approved by the Joint Committee on Taxation on July 24, 2006, and therefore should not
result in a material future cash payment. We anticipate the final cash settlement of this
examination will be completed by December 31, 2006. The effect of the adjustments to current and
deferred taxes has been reflected in previously filed consolidated financial statements for the
applicable periods.
During the third quarter of 2006, the IRS commenced an audit of our U.S. federal income tax returns
for the years 2002 through 2004. While we expect that the upcoming IRS audit will be similar in
scope to the recently completed examination, the upcoming audit may be broader. Furthermore, the
preliminary results from the audit of 1999 through 2001 are not indicative of the future result of
the audit of 2002 through 2004. The audit of 2002 through 2004 may result in additional tax
payments by us, the amount of which may be material, but will not be known until that IRS audit is
finalized.
In the course of the tax audit for the years 1999 through 2001, we identified record keeping issues
that existed during the periods, which caused us to incur significant expense to substantiate our
tax return items and address information and document requests made by the IRS. We expect to incur
similar expenses in future periods with respect to the upcoming IRS audit of the years 2002 through
2004.
Due to the record keeping issues referred to above, the IRS has issued a Notice of Inadequate
Records for the years 1999 through 2001 and may issue a similar notice for the years 2002 through
2004. While the IRS has agreed not to assess penalties for inadequacy of records with respect to
the years 1999 through 2001, we have no assurance that the IRS will not seek to assess such
penalties or other types of penalties with respect to the years 2002 through 2004. Such penalties
could result in a material impact to the consolidated results of operations. Additionally, the
record keeping issues noted above may result in future U.S. state and local, as well as non-U.S.,
tax assessments of tax, penalties and interest which could have a material impact to the
consolidated results of operations.
12
The recording of increased deferred tax asset valuation allowances in the future could affect
our operating results.
We currently have significant net deferred tax assets resulting from tax credit carry
forwards, net operating losses, and other deductible temporary differences which are available to
reduce taxable income in future periods. Based on our assessment of our deferred tax assets, we
determined, based on projected future income and certain available tax planning strategies, that
$239 million of our deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized in the future and no
valuation allowance is currently required for this portion of our deferred tax assets. Should we
determine in the future that these assets will not be realized, we will be required to record an
additional valuation allowance in connection with these deferred tax assets and our operating
results would be adversely affected in the period such determination is made.
We operate and manage our business on a number of different computer systems, including
several aging Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems that rely on manual processes, which
could adversely affect our ability to accurately report our financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
We operate and manage our business on a number of different computer systems, including disparate
legacy systems inherited from our predecessors. Some of our computer systems, as well as some of
our computer hardware, are aging and contain inefficient processes. For example, several of our
older ERP systems rely on manual processes, which are generally labor intensive and increase the
risk of error. Furthermore, we did not maintain adequate information technology, general controls,
as our information technology general controls supporting restricted access to financial
applications, programs and data. Unless we are able to enhance our computer systems generally and
information technology general controls specifically, our ability to identify, capture and
communicate pertinent information may be compromised, which in turn may compromise our ability to
timely and accurately report our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Economic, political and other risks associated with international operations could adversely
affect our business.
A substantial portion of our operations is conducted and located outside the U.S. We have
manufacturing or service facilities in 31 countries and sell to customers in over 70 countries, in
addition to the United States. Moreover, we outsource certain of our manufacturing and engineering
functions to, and source our raw materials and components from China, Eastern Europe, India, Latin
America and Mexico. Accordingly, our business is subject to risks associated with doing business
internationally, including:
|
|
|
changes in foreign currency exchange rates; |
|
|
|
|
instability in a specific countrys or regions political or economic conditions,
particularly in emerging markets and the Middle East; |
|
|
|
|
trade protection measures, such as tariff increases, and import and export licensing
and control requirements; |
|
|
|
|
potentially negative consequences from changes in tax laws; |
|
|
|
|
difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations; |
|
|
|
|
difficulty of enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through some foreign
legal systems; |
|
|
|
|
differing and, in some cases, more stringent labor regulations; |
|
|
|
|
partial or total expropriation; |
|
|
|
|
differing protection of intellectual property; |
13
|
|
|
unexpected changes in regulatory requirements; |
|
|
|
|
inability to repatriate income or capital; and |
|
|
|
|
difficulty in administering and enforcing corporate policies, which may be different
than the normal business practices of local cultures. |
For example, political unrest and a two-month nation-wide work stoppage in Venezuela in 2002
negatively impacted demand for our products from customers in that country and other customers,
such as U.S. oil refineries, that were affected by the resulting disruption in the supply of crude
oil. Similarly, the military conflict in the Middle East softened the level of capital investment
and demand for our products and services in that region, notwithstanding the historically high
prices for oil. Additionally we are investigating or have investigated certain allegations
regarding foreign management engaging in unethical practices prohibited by our Code of Business
Conduct which could have inappropriately benefited them at Company expense.
We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies, as a significant portion of
our revenue, and certain of our costs, assets and liabilities, are denominated in currencies other
than U.S. dollar. The primary foreign currencies to which we have exposure are the Euro, British
pound, Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, Japanese yen, Singapore dollar, Brazilian real, Australian
dollar, Argentinean peso and Venezuelan bolivar. Certain of the foreign currencies to which we have
exposure, such as the Argentinean peso, have undergone significant devaluation in the past.
Although we enter into forward contracts to economically hedge our risks associated with
transactions denominated in foreign currencies, no assurances can be made that exchange rate
fluctuations will not adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
Our international operations are subject to a variety of laws and regulations, including the
U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and regulations issued by the U.S. Customs Service, the Bureau
of Industry and Security, various foreign governmental agencies, including applicable customs,
currency exchange control and transfer pricing regulations and various programs administered by the
United Nations. No assurances can be made that we will continue to be found to be operating in
compliance with, or be able to detect violations of, any such laws or regulations. In addition, we
cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of future regulatory requirements to which our
international operations might be subject or the manner in which existing laws might be
administered or interpreted.
We have notified applicable U.S. governmental authorities of our plans to conduct a voluntary
thorough audit of our compliance with the U.S. export control laws and, if applicable, make a
voluntary self-disclosure of any potential violations identified, as applicable. If violations are
identified, then such disclosure could result in substantial fines and other penalties.
In order to manage our day-to-day operations, we must overcome cultural and language barriers
and assimilate different business practices. In addition, we are required to create compensation
programs, employment policies and other administrative programs that comply with laws of multiple
countries. We also must communicate and monitor standards and directives across our global network.
Our failure to successfully manage our geographically diverse operations could impair our ability
to react quickly to changing business and market conditions and to enforce compliance with
standards and procedures.
Our future success will depend, in large part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively
manage these and other risks associated with our international operations. Any of these factors
could, however, adversely affect our international operations and, consequently, our results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We may be unable to deliver our backlog on time which could affect our future sales and
profitability and our relationships with customers.
At September 30, 2006, backlog reached $1.5 billion, a record level for the Company. Our
ability to meet customer delivery schedules for backlog is dependent on a number of factors
including, but not limited to, sufficient manufacturing plant capacity, access to the raw materials
and other inventory required for production, an adequately trained and capable workforce, project
engineering expertise for certain large projects, and appropriate planning and
14
scheduling of manufacturing resources. Many of the contracts we enter into with our customers
require long manufacturing lead times and contain penalty clauses related to on-time delivery.
Failure to deliver in accordance with customer expectations could subject us to financial
penalties, may result in damage to existing customer relationships, could negatively impact our
financial performance, and potentially cause adverse changes in the market price of our outstanding
common stock.
Our business depends on the levels of capital investment and maintenance expenditures by our
customers, which in turn are affected by the cyclical nature of their markets and their liquidity.
Demand for most of our products depends on the level of new capital investment and maintenance
expenditures by our customers. The levels of capital expenditures by our customers depend, in turn,
on the general economic conditions and conditions in their industry, as well as on their liquidity.
The businesses of many of our customers, particularly general industrial companies, chemical
companies and oil refineries, are, to varying degrees, cyclical and have experienced periodic
downturns. Our customers in these industries historically have tended to delay large capital
projects, including expensive maintenance and upgrades, during economic downturns. For example,
demand for our products and services from our general industrial customers, such as steel and pulp
and paper manufacturers, was negatively impacted by the U.S. recession in the early part of this
decade. Similarly, in response to high oil and natural gas prices and a weak demand for their
products due to the soft economy, during the past several years our chemical customers reduced
their spending on capital investments and operated their facilities at lower levels, reducing
demand for our products and services. Some of our customers may delay capital maintenance even
during favorable conditions in their markets. For example, while high oil prices generally spur
demand for our products and services in upstream petroleum markets, they often reduce demand for
our products and services from oil refineries, as refiners seek to take advantage of favorable
margins by operating at high levels of capacity utilization and deferring maintenance.
The ability of our customers to finance capital investment and maintenance may be affected by
factors independent of the conditions in their industry. For example, despite high natural gas
prices in 2003, there was little additional investment or maintenance activity by our gas
customers, many of which have experienced liquidity constraints as a result of financial
difficulties related to their former energy trading activities.
Recently, amid increasing demand for crude and its derivatives and the tight market
conditions, oil refineries have been scheduling maintenance activities and upgrading equipment to
meet environmental regulations. In addition, chemical companies had been able to invest and
maintain their equipment as they pass through the price increases to the end user. This recent
evidence suggests a potential change in how the customer response to market conditions may impact
our business activities.
The diminished demand for our products and services could lead to excess manufacturing
capacity and subsequent accelerated erosion of average selling prices in our industry, which could
adversely affect our business, results of operations, including profit margins, financial condition
and cash flows.
As we expand our customer alliance programs, an increasing portion of our revenues will be on
a fixed-fee basis, subjecting us to the risks associated with cost overruns.
As part of our customer alliance programs, we enter into maintenance agreements that are fixed-fee
arrangements. Under these agreements, we provide maintenance services, including replacement parts
and repair services, at a specified fixed fee and, accordingly, bear the risk of cost overruns.
While we conduct a detailed analysis of the customers equipment prior to entering into fixed-fee
maintenance agreements and benefit from our extensive experience in the flow control industry, our
failure to estimate accurately the anticipated equipment failures and maintenance costs could have
a material adverse effect on our results of operations, including profit margins, financial
condition and cash flows.
15
We sell our products in highly competitive markets, which results in pressure on our profit
margins and limits our ability to maintain or increase the market share of our products.
The markets for our products are fragmented and highly competitive. We compete against large
and well-established national and global companies, as well as regional and local companies, low
cost replicators of spare parts and in-house maintenance departments of our end user customers. We
compete based on price, technical expertise, timeliness of delivery, previous installation history
and reputation for quality and reliability, with price competition tending to be more significant
for sales to original equipment manufacturers. Some of our customers are attempting to reduce the
number of vendors from which they purchase in order to reduce the size and diversity of their
inventory. To remain competitive, we will need to invest continuously in manufacturing, marketing,
customer service and support and our distribution networks. No assurances can be made that we will
have sufficient resources to continue to make the investment required to maintain or increase our
market share or that our investments will be successful. If we do not compete successfully, our
business, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely
affected.
Environmental compliance costs and liabilities could adversely affect our financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows.
Our operations and properties are subject to extensive regulation under environmental laws.
These laws can impose substantial sanctions for violations or operational changes that may limit
production. We must conform our operations to applicable regulatory requirements and adapt to
changes in such requirements in all countries in which we operate.
We use hazardous substances and generate hazardous wastes in most of our manufacturing and
foundry operations. Many of our current and former properties are or have been used for industrial
purposes, and some may require clean-up of historical contamination. We are currently conducting
investigation and/or remediation activities at a number of locations where we have known
environmental concerns. In addition, we have been identified as one of many potentially responsible
parties at four Superfund sites.
We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, operating and capital costs to comply with
environmental requirements. In addition, new laws and regulations, stricter enforcement of existing
requirements, the discovery of previously unknown contamination or the imposition of new clean-up
requirements could require us to incur costs or become the basis for new or increased liabilities
that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We are party to asbestos-containing product litigation that could adversely affect our
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We are a defendant in a large number of lawsuits that seek to recover damages for personal
injury allegedly resulting from exposure to asbestos-containing products formerly manufactured
and/or distributed by us. All such products were used as self-contained components of process
equipment, and we do not believe that there was any emission of ambient asbestos-containing fiber
during the use of this equipment. Although we are defending these allegations vigorously and
believe that a high percentage of these lawsuits are covered by insurance or indemnities from other
companies, there can be no assurance that we will prevail or that payments made by insurance or
such other companies would be adequate, and unfavorable rulings, judgments and/or settlement terms
could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our business may be adversely impacted by work stoppages and other labor matters.
As of December 31, 2005, we had approximately 13,000 employees, approximately half of whom
were located in the United States. Of our U.S. employees, approximately 7% are represented by
unions. We also have unionized employees in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada,
Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the
United Kingdom. Although we believe that our relations with our employees are good and we have not
experienced any recent strikes or work stoppages, no assurances can be made that we will not in the
future experience these and other types of conflicts with labor unions, works councils, other
groups
16
representing employees, or our employees generally, or that any future negotiations with our labor
unions will not result in significant increases in the cost of labor.
Inability to protect our intellectual property could negatively affect our competitive
position.
We rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, confidentiality
provisions and licensing arrangements to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We cannot
guarantee, however, that the steps we have taken to protect our intellectual property will be
adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology. For example, effective patent, trademark,
copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in some of the foreign
countries in which we operate. In addition, while we generally enter into confidentiality
agreements with our employees and third parties to protect our intellectual property, such
confidentiality agreements could be breached, and may not provide meaningful protection for our
trade secrets and know-how related to the design, manufacture or operation of our products. If it
became necessary for us to resort to litigation to protect our intellectual property rights, any
proceedings could be burdensome and costly, and we may not prevail. Furthermore, adequate remedies
may not be available in the event of an unauthorized use or disclosure of our trade secrets and
manufacturing expertise. If we fail to successfully enforce our intellectual property rights, our
competitive position could suffer, which could harm our sales, results of operations and cash
flows.
If we are unable to obtain raw materials at favorable prices, our operating margins and
results of operations may be adversely affected.
We purchase substantially all electric power and other raw materials we use in the
manufacturing of our products from outside sources. The costs of these raw materials have been
volatile historically and are influenced by factors that are outside our control. In recent years,
the prices for energy, metal alloys, nickel and certain other of our raw materials have increased,
with the prices for energy currently exceeding historical averages. We also strive to offset our
increased costs through our Continuous Improvement Program (CIP), where gains are achieved in
operational efficiencies. If we are unable to pass increases in the costs of our raw materials to
our customers, our operating margins and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Significant changes in pension fund investment performance or assumptions relating to pension
costs may have a material effect on the valuation of our obligations under our defined benefit
pension plans, the funded status of these plans and our pension expense.
We maintain defined benefit pension plans that are required to be funded in the United States, the
United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Mexico and The Netherlands, and defined benefit plans that are not
required to be funded in Germany, France, Austria and Sweden. Our pension liability is materially
affected by the discount rate used to measure our pension obligations and, in the case of the plans
that are required to be funded, the level of plan assets available to fund those obligations and
the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. A change in the discount rate can result in a
significant increase or decrease in the valuation of pension obligations, affecting the reported
status of our pension plans and our pension expense. Significant changes in investment performance
or a change in the portfolio mix of invested assets can result in increases and decreases in the
valuation of plan assets or in a change of the expected rate of return on plan assets. Changes in
the expected return on plan assets assumption can result in significant changes in our pension
expense. We currently expect to make substantial contributions to our U.S. and foreign defined
benefit pension plans during the next three years, and may make additional substantial
contributions thereafter.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension and Other Postretirement Plansan amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and
132(R). SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a
defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in
its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in
which the changes occur through comprehensive income. SFAS No. 158 also requires an employer to
measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position.
SFAS No. 158 amends SFAS No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions, SFAS No. 88, Employers
Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination
Benefits, SFAS No. 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits other than Pensions,
SFAS No. 132(R), Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, and
other related accounting literature. SFAS No. 158 requires expanded
17
disclosures about certain effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year that arise
from delayed recognition of the gains or losses, prior service costs or credits and transition
asset or obligation. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially
recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required
disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. We are still
evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 158 on our consolidated financial condition and results of
operations.
A significant number of stock option exercises following the removal of the current suspension on
stock option exercises would have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share.
We had a substantial number of outstanding stock options granted in past years to employees
and directors under our stock option plans which have been unexercisable for an extended period due
to the non-current status of our filings with the SEC. We reopened our stock option exercise
program on September 29, 2006. As of October 31, 2006, optionees have exercised 1.6 million of
these outstanding options. Approximately 1 million outstanding options remain to be exercised as
of October 31, 2006, a small portion of which must be exercised by December 31, 2006. If the
holders of a large number of these options exercise, there may be some dilutive impact on our
earnings per share and a positive impact to our cash flow; however, the impacts on our cash flow
and earnings per share are dependent upon share price, the number of shares exercised and strike
price of shares exercised.
Furthermore, now that we are current with our SEC financial reporting, officers, directors and
holders of restricted shares may sell shares of our common stock into the public market pursuant to
Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. An increase in the number of shares of our common stock in
the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices. We expect that a number of our
officers and directors may sell a portion of their shares of our common stock for various reasons,
a key reason being to cover certain tax liabilities arising from various traunches of restricted
stock that vested during periods when officers and directors were not able to sell their common
stock to cover their applicable tax liability due to either our insider trading policy or our
previous non-current filer status with the SEC. A few officers and directors with long service
tenure are also selling stock following asset diversification advice as part of their
pre-retirement planning. Based upon their current holdings and expressed intentions to us, if
these sales occur, then such officers and directors would still hold a substantial portion of their
pre-sale aggregate holdings of our common stock. Provided, however, sales of a substantial number
of shares of our common stock in the public market by our officers and directors, or the perception
that such sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
We may incur material costs as a result of product liability and warranty claims, which could
adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We may be exposed to product liability and warranty claims in the event that the use of one of
our products results in, or is alleged to result in, bodily injury and/or property damage or our
products actually or allegedly fail to perform as expected. While we maintain insurance coverage
with respect to certain product liability claims, we may not be able to obtain such insurance on
acceptable terms in the future, if at all, and any such insurance may not provide adequate coverage
against product liability claims. In addition, product liability claims can be expensive to defend
and can divert the attention of management and other personnel for significant periods of time,
regardless of the ultimate outcome. An unsuccessful defense of a product liability claim could have
an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and cash flows.
Even if we are successful in defending against a claim relating to our products, claims of this
nature could cause our customers to lose confidence in our products and our Company. Warranty
claims are not covered by insurance, and we may incur significant warranty costs in the future for
which we would not be reimbursed.
Our outstanding indebtedness and the restrictive covenants in the agreements governing our
indebtedness limit our operating and financial flexibility.
We are required to make mandatory payments and, under certain circumstances, mandatory
prepayments on our outstanding indebtedness which may require us to dedicate a substantial portion
of our cash flows from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the
availability of our cash flows to fund working capital, capital expenditures, research and
development efforts and other general corporate purposes and could limit our flexibility in
planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and in the industry.
18
In addition, the agreements governing our bank credit facilities and our other outstanding
indebtedness impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and somewhat limit
managements discretion in operating our businesses. These agreements limit our ability, among
other things, to:
|
|
|
incur additional debt; |
|
|
|
|
make capital expenditures; |
|
|
|
|
change fiscal year; |
|
|
|
|
pay dividends and make other distributions; |
|
|
|
|
prepay subordinated debt, make investments and other restricted payments; |
|
|
|
|
enter into sale and leaseback transactions; |
|
|
|
|
create liens; |
|
|
|
|
sell assets; and |
|
|
|
|
enter into transactions with affiliates. |
In addition, the credit facilities contain covenants requiring us to deliver to lenders leverage
and interest coverage financial covenants and our audited annual and unaudited quarterly financial
statements. Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our
control. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default which, if not
cured or waived, may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
We may not be able to continue to expand our market presence through acquisitions, and any
future acquisitions may present unforeseen integration difficulties or costs.
From 1997 through 2002, we expanded through a number of acquisitions, and we may pursue
acquisitions of businesses that are complementary to ours in the future. Our ability to implement
this growth strategy will be limited by our ability to identify appropriate acquisition candidates,
covenants in our credit agreement and other debt agreements and our financial resources, including
available cash and borrowing capacity. In addition, acquisition of businesses may require
additional debt financing, resulting in higher leverage and an increase in interest expense, and
could result in the incurrence of contingent liabilities.
Should we acquire another business, the process of integrating acquired operations into our
existing operations may encounter operating difficulties and may require significant financial
resources that would otherwise be available for the ongoing development or expansion of existing
operations. Some of the challenges associated with acquisitions include:
|
|
|
loss of key employees or customers of the acquired company; |
|
|
|
|
conforming the acquired companys standards, processes, procedures and controls,
including accounting systems and controls, with our operations; |
|
|
|
|
coordinating operations that are increased in scope, geographic diversity and complexity; |
|
|
|
|
retooling and reprogramming of equipment; |
|
|
|
|
hiring additional management and other critical personnel; and |
19
|
|
|
the diversion of managements attention from our day-to-day operations. |
Furthermore, no guarantees can be made that we will realize the cost savings, synergies or revenue
enhancements that we may anticipate from any acquisition, or that we will realize such benefits
within the time frame that we expect. If we are not able to address the challenges associated with
acquisitions and successfully integrate acquired businesses, or if our integrated product and
service offerings fail to achieve market acceptance, our business could be adversely affected.
RESCISSION OFFER
Background
As of May 1, 2005, due to the non-current status of our filings with the SEC in accordance with the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our registration statements on Form S-8 were no longer available
to cover offers and sales of securities to our employees and other persons.
During the Relevant Period (the period between May 1, 2005 and September 29, 2006), the acquisition
of Units by participants in our common stock fund under our 401(k) Plan did not comply with the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. During the period in which there was no
effective registration statement, Units representing a total of 464,033 shares of our common stock
were purchased on behalf of participants in our 401(k) Plan through application of (i) salary
reduction contributions from employees, (ii) fixed matching source funds from Flowserve and (iii)
intra-plan transfers of funds by participants out of other investments in the 401(k) Plan into
Units.
Our failure to maintain the effectiveness of our registration statements on Form S-8 gives the
participants who directed the 401(k) Plan to purchase Units representing shares of our common stock
under our 401(k) Plan during the Relevant Period the right to rescind these purchases (or recover
damages for their 401(k) account if they have disposed of their Units) for up to one year under
federal law following the purchase of these Units.
An investor successfully asserting a rescission right during the applicable time period has the
right to require an issuer to purchase the securities acquired by the investor at the price paid by
the investor for the securities (or if such security has been disposed of, to receive damages with
respect to any loss on such disposition), plus interest from the date of acquisition.
Our failure to maintain our Form S-8 registration statement in respect of the shares included in
Units sold under the 401(k) Plan was unintentional. Now that we are current in all of our financial
reporting obligations our Form S-8 is once again available for sales of securities to participants
under the terms of the 401(k) Plan. Because we recognize that certain sales of Units to
participants in the Plan did not comply with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1933 during the period when we did not have current financial information, we are voluntarily
making this Rescission Offer to affected current and former participants in the 401(k) Plan who
directed the 401(k) Plan to purchase Units during the Relevant Period.
Rescission Offer and Price
We are offering to rescind Units representing a total of 464,033 shares issued to the 401(k) Plan
accounts of current and former participants in our 401(k) Plan. These Units represent all of the
shares of our common stock purchased by current and former employees
during the Relevant Period. Each Unit represents approximately 0.5535 shares of common stock plus a small varying
amount of short-term liquid investments. During the Relevant Period the price per share at which
Units representing were sold to participants in the 401(k) Plan ranged from $28.21 to $60.75 (or
$15.61 to $33.63 per Unit).
By making this Rescission Offer, we are not waiving any applicable statute of limitation or other
defenses that may be available against any claim by any person who does not accept the Rescission
Offer.
20
If you accept our Rescission Offer and your 401(k) Plan account contains Units representing shares,
we will purchase the Units in your 401(k) Plan account that are subject to the Rescission Offer at
the price per Unit paid, plus interest, from the date of purchase through the date that the
Rescission Offer expires, provided that the amount you paid for the Units (plus interest),
determined on a purchase by purchase basis, is greater than the value of the Units as of the
Expiration Date. The value of a Unit at the Expiration Date will be
determined by reference to the closing price of a share of our common
stock on the Expiration Date. If you accept our Rescission Offer and you have already sold your Units at a
loss, you will receive the full amount that the 401(k) Plan paid for those Units plus interest on
such amount at the applicable statutory rate, but less any amounts previously received by your
401(k) Plan account when you sold those Units. We intend to use the legal rates of interest for
the purchase of the Units based upon your state of residence at the time you purchased your Units.

Accepting the Offer
You may accept the Rescission Offer by completing, signing and delivering to us the Rescission
Offer acceptance form (attached as Appendix A) on or before 5:00 p.m., Dallas time on the
Expiration Date (______ ___, 2006).
All acceptances of the Rescission Offer will be deemed to be effective on the Expiration Date and
the right to accept the Rescission Offer will terminate on the Expiration Date. Acceptances may be
revoked in a written notice to us, to the attention of Tara D. Mackey, Esq., Senior Compliance
Counsel, Flowserve Corporation, 5215 N. OConnor Blvd., Suite 2300, Irving, Texas 75039, which is
received prior to the Expiration Date. Within 15 business days after the Expiration Date, we will
credit the payment amount for any Units representing shares as to which the Rescission Offer has
been validly accepted.
The Rescission Offer will terminate at 5:00 p.m., Dallas time, on the Expiration Date. If you
submit an acceptance form after that time on the Expiration Date, regardless of whether your form
is otherwise complete, your form will not be accepted, and you will be deemed to have rejected our
Rescission Offer.
If you are currently employed by Flowserve and you have an account in the 401(K) Plan any funds to
which you would be entitled as a result of the Rescission Offer will be credited to your 401(k)
Plan account and will be invested in accordance with your current investment elections in the
401(k) Plan.
If you are not currently employed by Flowserve and/or you no longer have an account with the 401(k)
Plan any funds to which you would be entitled as a result of the Rescission Offer will be invested
in the age-appropriate Vanguard mutual fund for you under the 401(k) Plan until you instruct
Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company, the Trustee, to distribute the proceeds to you, or into an
individual retirement account or other qualified retirement plan in a direct rollover. If the
amount held by the Trustee on your behalf as a result of the Rescission Offer is less than $1,000,
the
21
Trustee will distribute the proceeds directly to you unless you instruct the Trustee to the
direct the funds to an individual retirement account or other qualified retirement plan in a direct
roll-over.
Neither we nor our officers and directors make any recommendations to you with respect to the
Rescission Offer contained herein. You are urged to read the Rescission Offer carefully and to make
an independent evaluation with respect to its terms.
Rejection or Failure to Affirmatively Accept
If you fail to accept the Rescission Offer, your 401(k) account will retain ownership of the Units
in accordance with the terms of the 401(k) Plan, and it will not be credited with any payment amount
for those securities in connection with the Rescission Offer.
The shares underlying the Units will be registered and fully tradeable under the Securities Act of
1933, unless you are an affiliate of Flowserve within the meaning of Rule 144 or Rule 145, as the
case may be. Your Units and any transactions you may wish to make with respect to your Units will
remain subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the 401(k) Plan. Officers, directors and
other employees are reminded that trading in securities of Flowserve is subject to the terms of our
Insider Trading Policy.
Solicitation
We have not retained, nor do we intend to retain, any person to make solicitations or
recommendations to you in connection with this Rescission Offer.
Effect of Rescission Offer
It is unclear whether the Rescission Offer will terminate our liability, if any, for failure to
register the issuance of securities under federal securities laws during the Relevant Period. It
is the position of the staff of the SEC that a purchasers right to request a rescission remedy
continues for the entire one year statutory period, notwithstanding the expiration of this
Rescission Offer. A number of courts that have considered this issue have reached a contrary
conclusion.
The Rescission Offer may also affect your right of rescission and your right to damages under state
law. We believe that the sale and issuance of shares of our common stock included in the Units that
are the subject of the Rescission Offer were exempt from registration under state laws. However,
even if the sale and issuance of shares of our common stock included in the Units were subject to
state law requirements, under the law of most states, acceptance or rejection of the Rescission
Offer may preclude you from maintaining an action against us in connection with the shares of our
common stock included in the Units purchased during the Relevant Period. Below is a state-by-state
summary discussion of the rescission rights (and the effect of the rescission offers on those
rights) under the laws of the various states where our participants were resident at the time they
acquired their Units. The following discussion is not to be construed as legal advice and
participants in our 401(k) Plan who have questions regarding their rights with respect to this
offering and the rescission remedies available to them are urged to consult with their own counsel.
Each state has different laws with respect to rights under common law and fraud relating to offers
and sales of securities and the following discussion of state law does not relate to the antifraud
provisions of applicable securities laws or rights under common law or equity.

Please be advised that we may assert, among other defenses, in any litigation initiated by a person
eligible to participate in the Rescission Offer who accepts or rejects the Rescission Offer, that
such person is estopped from asserting such claims as a result of the Rescission Offer. Our
Rescission Offer does not constitute a waiver by us of any applicable statute of limitations or any
potential defenses that we may have.
Funding the Rescission Offer
The Rescission Offer will be funded from our existing cash balances. If the price for a share of
our common stock is at or higher than its current level
($___ as of November ___, 2006) on the
Expiration Date and all persons eligible to participate accept our offer to purchase Units to the
full extent permitted, our results of operations, cash balances or financial condition will not be
materially adversely affected because of the small number of Units we would be required to purchase
under the terms of this Rescission Offer.
Directors and Officers
Two of our
officers, who hold 1,060.27 shares of common stock as part of Units subject to this
Rescission Offer are eligible to participate in the Rescission Offer. We have been advised that
these officers do not intend to accept the Rescission Offer. None of our directors are eligible to
participate in this Rescission Offer.
If our eligible officers do not participate in the Rescission Offer but all other eligible persons
accept the Rescission Offer in full, our officers and directors respective ownership interests in
Flowserve would not materially increase.

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following discussion summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to
the Rescission Offer. This discussion is based on current law. The following discussion is not
exhaustive of all possible tax consequences. It does not give a detailed discussion of any state,
local or foreign tax consequences, nor does it discuss all of the aspects of U.S. federal income
taxation that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances and only applies if
you are an individual citizen or resident of the United States.
You are urged to consult with your own tax advisor regarding the specific consequences to you of
the Rescission Offer, including the U.S. federal, state, local, foreign and other tax consequences
and the potential changes in applicable tax laws.
Your acceptance or rejection of the Rescission Offer, or the sale of the Units comprised of our
common stock and short-term liquid investments made by us pursuant to the Rescission Offer or the
receipt by the 401(k) Plan of the specified payment if your 401(k) Plan Units were transferred at a
loss, is not considered to be a taxable event before withdrawal or distribution of funds from your
401(k) Plan account. If you are currently employed by Flowserve and you have an account in the
401(K) Plan any funds to which you would be entitled as a result of the Rescission Offer will be
credited to your 401(k) Plan account and will be invested in accordance with your current
investment elections in the 401(k) Plan. Upon any later withdrawal or distribution, any gain
resulting from the Rescission Offer will generally be taxable as ordinary income. An additional
ten percent income tax may be imposed in cases of early withdrawal or distribution before age 591/2
not rolled over to an individual retirement account of another employers qualified plan.
If you are not currently employed by Flowserve and/or you no longer have an account with the 401(k)
Plan any funds to which you would be entitled as a result of the Rescission Offer will be
automatically invested in the age-appropriate Vanguard mutual fund for you under the 401(k) Plan
until you instruct Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company, the Trustee, to distribute the proceeds to
you, or into an individual retirement account or other qualified retirement plan in a direct
rollover. If the amount held by the Trustee on your behalf as a result of the Rescission Offer is
less than $1,000, the Trustee will distribute the proceeds directly to you unless you instruct the
Trustee to direct the funds to an individual retirement account or other qualified retirement
plan in a direct roll-over.
A direct rollover into an individual retirement account or other qualified retirement plan is not
considered to be a taxable event. If the proceeds from the Rescission Offer are not rolled over,
however, and you receive a distribution from the 401(k) Plan, such distribution will generally be
taxable as ordinary income to you as described above and subject to applicable tax withholding. An
additional ten percent income tax may be imposed on any taxable
amount distributed if you are under age 591/2.
DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This offering circular and other written reports and oral statements we make from time-to-time
include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this
offering circular regarding our financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of
management for future operations, industry conditions, market conditions and indebtedness covenant
compliance are forward-looking statements. In some cases forward looking statements can be
identified by terms such as may, will, should, expect, plans, seeks, anticipate,
believe, estimate, predicts, potential, continue, intends, or other comparable
terminology. These statements are not historical facts or guarantees of future performance but
instead are based on current expectations and are subject to significant risks, uncertainties and
other factors, many of which are outside of our control.
We have identified factors that could cause actual plans or results to differ materially from
those included in any forward-looking statements. These factors include those described under the
heading Risk Factors above, or as may be identified in our other SEC filings from time to time.
These uncertainties are beyond our ability to control, and in many cases, it is not possible to
foresee or identify all the factors that may affect our future performance or any
27
forward-looking information, and new risk factors can emerge from time to time. Given these risks
and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a
prediction of actual results.
All forward-looking statements included in this offering circular are based on information
available to us on the date of this offering circular and the risk that actual results will differ
materially from expectations expressed in this report will increase with the passage of time. We
undertake no obligation, and disclaim any duty, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statement or disclose any facts, events or circumstances that occur after the date hereof that may
affect the accuracy of any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information,
future events, changes in our expectations or otherwise. This discussion is provided as permitted
by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and all of our forward-looking statements
are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referenced in
this section.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
As noted
in other parts of this offering circular, during the Relevant Period (the period from May 1, 2005 through
September 29, 2006) our registration statements on Form S-8 were not
available to cover offers and sales of our securities to employees and other persons because our
financial statements were not current. During the Relevant Period, the acquisition of Units in the
Flowserve common stock fund under our 401(k) Plan by plan participants did not comply with the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. Federal securities laws generally provide
for a one-year rescission right for an investor who acquires unregistered securities in a
transaction that is subject to registration and for which no exemption was available. As such, an
investor successfully asserting a rescission right during the one-year time period has the right to
require an issuer to repurchase the securities acquired by the investor at the price paid by the
investor for the securities (or if such security has been disposed of, to receive damages with
respect to any loss on such disposition), plus interest from the date of acquisition. During the
Relevant Period we offered and sold Units representing 464,033 shares of our common stock to
participants in our 401(k) Plan. In order to address this situation we are making the Rescission
Offer that is the subject of this offering circular to participants who directed the 401(k) Plan to
acquire shares during the Relevant Period with salary reduction funds, employer fixed matching
funds and funds generated from employee transactions in the 401(k) Plan.
Based on the current price of our common stock, we believe that our current potential liability for
rescission claims is not material to our financial condition or results of operations; however, our
potential liability could become material in the future if the price for our common stock were to
fall below participants acquisition prices for their interest in our stock fund during the
applicable statute of limitations following the unregistered offer and sale of shares.
During the third quarter of 2006, we issued an aggregate of 38,380 shares of restricted stock
pursuant to our 2004 Stock Compensation Plan. We believe these securities are not subject to
registration under the no sale principle or were otherwise issued pursuant to exemptions from
registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as transactions by an issuer not involving a
public offering.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL
Description Of Capital Stock
Our authorized capital stock consists of 120,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $1.25 per
share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share.
Common Stock
Subject to any special voting rights of any preferred stock that we may issue in the future, each
share of common stock has one vote on all matters voted on by our shareholders, including election
of our board of directors. No share of common stock affords any cumulative voting or preemptive
rights. Holders of common stock will be entitled to dividends in the amounts and at the times
declared by our board of directors, after payment of any dividends on any outstanding preferred
stock and subject to limitations for dividends contained in certain of Flowserves outstanding debt
instruments. No dividends are currently paid to holders of the common stock.
Holders of common stock will share equally in our assets on liquidation after payment or provision
for all liabilities and any preferential liquidation rights of any preferred stock then
outstanding. All issued and outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable
and are not subject to redemption or conversion and have no conversion rights.
The transfer agent for our common stock is National City Bank, in Cleveland, Ohio.
Preferred Stock
At the direction of our board of directors, we may issue shares of preferred stock from time to
time. Our board of directors may, without any action by holders of our common stock, adopt
resolutions to issue preferred stock in one or more series and establish or change the rights of
the holders of any series of preferred stock.
The rights of any series of preferred stock may include:
|
|
|
voting rights; |
|
|
|
|
liquidation preferences; |
|
|
|
|
dividend rights; |
|
|
|
|
redemption rights; |
|
|
|
|
conversion or exchange rights; and |
|
|
|
|
sinking funds. |
The issuance of such preferred stock could, among other things:
|
|
|
adversely affect the voting, dividend, and liquidation rights with respect to the common stock; |
|
|
|
|
discourage an unsolicited proposal to acquire us; or |
|
|
|
|
facilitate a particular business combination involving us. |
Any of these actions, plus those which follow in the remainder of this Description of Capital
Stock section, could discourage a transaction that some or a majority of our shareholders might
believe to be in their best interests or in which our shareholders might receive a premium for
their stock over its then market price.
As discussed under OFFERING CIRCULAR SUMMARY Recent Developments, our shareholder rights
agreement recently expired pursuant to its terms and was not renewed. In connection with the
expiration of the shareholder rights agreement, our board of directors eliminated the Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value per share as an authorized class of
securities.
29
Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions
Under the Amended and Restated By-Laws of Flowserve (the By-Laws) our board of directors is
divided into three classes of directors serving staggered terms of three years each. Each class is
to be as nearly equal in number as possible, with one class being elected each year. Our Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws also provide that:
|
|
|
directors may be removed from office only for cause and only with the affirmative
vote of the shareholders or the board; and |
|
|
|
|
advance notice of not less than fifty days of shareholder nominations for the
elections of directors must be given in the manner provided by the By-Laws. |
We are a New York corporation and our internal corporate arrangements are governed by the New York
Business Corporation Law (NYBCL). Under the NYBCL, a merger moratorium statute would prohibit
any business combination with an interested shareholder (as defined in the statute) for a five
year period, unless the combination is approved by Flowserves board of directors. In addition,
amendments which make changes relating to the capital stock by increasing or decreasing the par
value or the aggregate number of authorized shares of a class, or otherwise adversely affecting the
rights of such class, must be approved by the majority vote of each class or series of stock
affected, even if such stock would not otherwise have such voting rights.
In addition, our Restated Certificate of Incorporation also requires (i) a four-fifths vote of the
outstanding stock of Flowserve entitled to vote thereon to amend certain provisions in our Restated
Certificate of Incorporation restricting transactions with a Related Corporation (as defined
therein) and (ii) a two-thirds vote to amend certain provisions in our Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and By-Laws relating to our board of directors.
The noted merger moratorium statute and the noted required supermajority shareholder vote necessary
to alter, amend or repeal certain provisions of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and
By-Laws relating to our board, our classified board of directors and the other matters described
above may make it more difficult to change the composition of our board of directors and may
discourage or make difficult any attempt by a person or group to obtain control of Flowserve.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity under the NYBCL of the securities that we are offering to purchase hereby has been
passed on for us by Ronald F. Shuff, Esq., Vice President, Secretary
and General Counsel of Flowserve.
EXPERTS
The financial statements and managements assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting (which is included in Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting and which contains an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting) incorporated in this Prospectus by reference to the Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2005 have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the
authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the above described
provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC their indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable.

APPENDIX A
ACCEPTANCE FORM
YOU MAY ELECT TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE RESCISSION OFFER. IF YOU WISH TO REJECT THE RESCISSION
OFFER, DO NOT RETURN THIS FORM. YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO ANYTHING TO REJECT THE RESCISSION OFFER.
IF YOU WISH TO ACCEPT THE RESCISSION OFFER, PLEASE COMPLETE, SIGN AND RETURN THIS FORM AND
ENSURE ITS RECEIPT BY 5:00 P.M., DALLAS TIME, ON ___, 2006 (THE EXPIRATION DATE),
PURSUANT TO THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned acknowledges receipt of an offering circular dated November [ ], 2006 (the
offering circular) of Flowserve Corporation (the Company), pursuant to which the Company offers
to rescind (the Rescission Offer) the purchase of shares of common stock of the Company included
in units (the Units) in the Flowserve Corporation Stock Fund (the Flowserve Stock Fund)
purchased by the Flowserve Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (the
401(k) Plan) at the direction of the undersigned between May 1, 2005 and September 29,
2006 (the Relevant Period). The Flowserve Stock Fund is an investment alternative under the
401(k) Plan and Vanguard Fiduciary Trust
Company (the Trustee) is the Trustee of the 401(k) Plan. A participants investment in the
Companys common stock through the 401(k) Plan is measured in Units. Each Unit represents
approximately 0.5535 shares of common stock of the Company plus a small varying amount of
short-term liquid investments.
Effective as of the Expiration Date, the undersigned hereby accepts the Rescission Offer for
shares of common stock of the Company included in the Units purchased by the undersigned during the
Relevant Period upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offering circular. To
the extent that the 401(k) Plan account of the undersigned still holds such Units, the undersigned
directs the Trustee to sell the shares included in the Units held in the undersigneds 401(k) Plan
account that are being purchased effective as of the Expiration Date. The undersigned directs the
Trustee to credit all proceeds pursuant to the Rescission Offer as provided below and in the
offering circular. The undersigned acknowledges that he or she understands that the Company will
only purchase those Units that were purchased on behalf of the undersigned during the Relevant
Period and later sold at a loss together with all of the Units that remain in the undersigneds
401(k) Plan account that were purchased by the 401(k) Plan on behalf of the undersigned at a price (plus
interest at the applicable statutory rate as described in the offering circular) that is greater
than the value of a Unit at the Expiration Date. The value of a Unit at the Expiration Date will
be determined by reference to the closing price of a share of Company common stock on the
Expiration Date.
Current Employees of Flowserve
If the undersigned is currently employed by the Company and has a 401(k) Plan account, the
undersigned acknowledges that funds to which the undersigneds 401(k) Plan account would be
entitled as a result of the Rescission Offer will be credited to the undersigneds 401(k) Plan
account and will be invested in accordance with the undersigneds current investment elections in
the 401(k) Plan. The undersigned further acknowledges that upon any later withdrawal or
distribution, any gain resulting from the Rescission Offer will generally be taxable as ordinary
income. An additional ten percent income tax may be imposed in cases of early withdrawal.
All Other Persons with an Interest in the Rescission Offer
If the undersigned is not currently employed by the Company and/or no longer has an account
with the 401(k) Plan the undersigned acknowledges that any funds to which the undersigned would be
entitled as a result of the Rescission Offer will be automatically invested in the age-appropriate
Vanguard mutual fund on behalf of the undersigned in the 401(k) Plan until the undersigned
instructs the Trustee to distribute the proceeds to the undersigned, or into an individual
retirement account or other qualified retirement plan in a direct rollover. The undersigned
acknowledges that if the amount held by the Trustee on the undersigneds behalf as a result of the
Rescission Offer is less than $1,000, the Trustee will distribute the proceeds directly to the
undersigned unless the undersigned instructs the
A-i
Trustee to direct the funds to an individual retirement account or other qualified
retirement plan in a direct roll-over. The undersigned further acknowledges that if payments
pursuant to the Rescission Offer are distributed to the undersigned but are not rolled over into an
individual retirement account or a qualified retirement plan, such distribution will generally be
taxable as ordinary income to the undersigned. The undersigned further acknowledges that an
additional ten percent income tax on any taxable amount may be imposed on such distribution if the
undersigned is under age 591/2.

APPENDIX B
LETTER TO PARTICIPANTS
[Letterhead of Flowserve Corporation]
November , 2006
Re: Flowserve Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (the 401(k) Plan)
Dear Fellow Plan Participant:
Due to our earlier non-current status with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a
result of our delayed financial report filings between May 1, 2005 and September 29, 2006, our SEC
Registration Statements became ineffective to cover sales of our common stock to our employees. As
a result, certain shares of the Flowserve Common Stock Fund (the Stock Fund) purchased within
the Flowserve Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (the 401(k) Plan) for its participants between
May 1, 2005 and September 29, 2006 (the Relevant Period), were not covered by our Registration
Statements. These 401(k) Plan purchases into the Stock Fund involve employee contributions through
payroll deductions, Flowserves employer fixed matching contributions and voluntary employee
transfers into the Stock Fund.
Due to the unavailability of the Registration Statements, these 401(k) Plan purchases were not
processed in compliance with the SECs registration requirements. In order to address this
situation, Flowserve has decided to make an offer to affected 401(k) Plan participants to purchase
the affected Stock Fund shares that were purchased during the Relevant Period (the Rescission
Offer).
If you elect to accept the Rescission Offer before 5:00 p.m., Dallas time on , 2006,
Flowserve will purchase Stock Fund shares that were so acquired by the 401(k) Plan for your account
during the Relevant Period only if the applicable price per share at dates on which shares were
purchased by the 401(k) Plan during the Relevant Period, plus interest, exceeds the price per share
of Flowserve common stock on the date the Rescission Offer expires.
Shares were purchased by the 401(k) Plan for the Stock Fund at prices that ranged from $28.21 to
$60.75 during the Relevant Period. The most recent closing price per share of Flowserve common
stock as of November , 2006 was $ .
If you wish to retain all of your Stock Fund shares that were purchased during the Relevant Period,
you are not required to take any action or respond to the Rescission Offer. You also remain
free to engage in 401(k) Plan transfers both into and out of the Stock Fund, if desired, in
accordance with the 401(k) Plan rules.
Please note that the Rescission Offer does not apply to Stock Fund purchases after September 29,
2006, when we became current in our financial report filings and our SEC Registration Statements
became effective again. It also does not apply to any Stock Fund purchases prior to May 1, 2005.
Accompanying this letter is an offering circular explaining the terms and conditions of the
Rescission Offer. Please read this offering circular carefully. Details concerning the crediting
of accounts for participants who accept the Rescission Offer and the treatment of shares that were
purchased during the Relevant Period and later sold are discussed in the attached offering
circular.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Sections 722 through 726 of the New York Business Corporation Law (the NYBCL) grant New York
corporations broad powers to indemnify their present and former directors and officers and those of
affiliated corporations against expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with threatened, pending or
completed actions, suits or proceedings to which they are parties or are threatened to be made
parties by reason of being or having been such directors or officers, subject to specified
conditions and exclusions; give a director or officer who successfully defends an action the right
to be so indemnified; and permit a corporation to buy directors and officers liability insurance.
Such indemnification is not exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be
entitled under any by-laws, agreement, vote of shareholders or otherwise.
Section 402(b) of the NYBCL permits a New York corporation to include in its certificate of
incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors to the
corporation or its shareholders for damages for any breach of duty in such capacity, provided that
such provision shall not eliminate the liability of a director (i) for acts or omissions in bad
faith or involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or (ii) by which he
personally gained a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled or
(iii) for acts that violate Section 719 of the NYBCL or (iv) for any act or omission that occurred
prior to the adoption of a provision in the certificate of incorporation providing the protections
described in Section 402(b) of the NYBCL.
Flowserves Restated Certificate of Incorporation includes the provision permitted by Section
402(b) of the NYBCL.
Flowserves Restated By-laws provide that Flowserve shall indemnify its present or future directors
and officers from and against any and all liabilities and expenses to the maximum extent permitted
by the NYBCL.
Flowserve has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that provide
indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by the NYBCL as well as certain additional
procedural protections. The indemnification agreements provide that directors and officers will be
indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by law against all expenses (including attorneys fees)
and settlement amounts paid or incurred by them in any proceeding as directors or officers of
Flowserve, including any action on account of their services as officers or directors of any other
company or enterprise when they are serving in such capacities at Flowserves request. Flowserve
must pay in advance of a final disposition of a proceeding or claim, the expenses incurred by the
indemnitee no later than 10 days after receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnitee,
to repay the amount of the expenses to the extent that it is ultimately determined that the
indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by Flowserve. The indemnification agreements also
II-1
provide the indemnitee with remedies in the event that Flowserve does not fulfill its obligations
under the indemnification agreements.
Flowserve maintains policies of insurance under which its directors and officers are insured,
within the limits and subject to the limitations of the policies, against specific expenses in
connection with the defense of, and specific liabilities which might be imposed as a result of,
actions, suits or proceedings to which they are parties by reason of being or having been directors
or officers.
Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
During the period from May 1, 2005 through September 29, 2006 (the Relevant Period) our
registration statements on Form S-8 were not available to cover offers and sales of our securities
to employees and other persons because our financial statements were not current. During the
Relevant Period, the acquisition of Units in our common stock fund under our 401(k) Plan by plan
participants did not comply with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.
Federal securities laws generally provide for a one-year rescission right for an investor who
acquires unregistered securities in a transaction that is subject to registration and for which no
exemption was available. As such, an investor successfully asserting a rescission right during the
one-year time period has the right to require an issuer to repurchase the securities acquired by
the investor at the price paid by the investor for the securities (or if such security has been
disposed of, to receive damages with respect to any loss on such disposition), plus interest from
the date of acquisition. During the Relevant Period we offered and sold 464,033 shares of our
common stock as part of Units to participants in our 401(k) Plan. In order to address this
situation we are making the Rescission Offer that is the subject of the offering circular that
forms Part I of this registration statement on Form S-1 to persons who acquired shares under the
401(k) Plan during the Relevant Period with salary reduction funds, employer fixed matching funds
and funds generated from employee transactions in the 401(k) Plan.
Based on the current price of our common stock, we believe that our current potential liability for
rescission claims is not material to our financial condition or results of operations; however, our
potential liability could become material in the future if the price of our common stock were to
fall below participants acquisition prices for their Units in our stock fund during the applicable
statute of limitations following the unregistered offer and sale of shares.
During the third quarter of 2006, we issued an aggregate of 38,380 shares of restricted stock
pursuant to the 2004 Stock Compensation Plan. We believe these securities are not subject to
registration under the no sale principle or were otherwise issued pursuant to exemptions from
registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as transactions by an issuer not
involving a public offering.

Financial Statement Schedules. |
All financial statement schedules are omitted because they are inapplicable, not required or the

Item 17. Undertakings.
a) |
|
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: |
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment
to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the
registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in aggregate, the changes in
volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price
set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement;
and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in
the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
II-8
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any
purchaser:
(ii) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as
part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements
relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to
be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after
effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus
that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed
incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first
use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus
that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such
date of first use.
b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
II-9
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant has duly
caused this Registration Statement on Form S-1 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized in the City of Irving, State of Texas, on November 9, 2006.
