 the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or

 a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably
 available to the indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the
 indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. Upon written request by an indemnitee for indemnification
 pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2(A), a determination, if required by applicable law,
 with respect to the indemnitee&#146;s entitlement thereto shall be made as follows: (1) if requested by the
 indemnitee, by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined), or (2) if no request is made by the indemnitee
 for a determination by Independent Counsel, (a) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum
 consisting of Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined), or (b) if a quorum of the Board of Directors
 consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, such quorum of Disinterested
 Directors so directs, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy

 the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the indemnitee unless the indemnitee shall request that
 such selection be made by the Board of Directors, in which event the Independent Counsel shall be selected

 3. (A) If a claim under Section 1 of this Article XIII is not paid in full by the Company within 30
 days after a written claim pursuant to Section 2(A) of this Article XIII has been received by the Company,
 or if an advance is not made within 20 days after a request therefor pursuant to Section 1(B) of this
 Article XIII has been received by the Company, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit
 (or, at the indemnitee&#146;s option, an arbitration proceeding before a single arbitrator pursuant to the
 rules of the American Arbitration Association) against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the
 claim or the advance and, if successful in whole or in part, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be
 paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such suit or proceeding
 (other than a suit or proceeding brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in connection with
 any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required,
 has been tendered to the Company) that the indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct which make
 it permissible under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for the Company to indemnify
 the indemnitee for the amount claimed or that such indemnification otherwise is not permitted under
 the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, but the burden of proving such defense shall be
 on the Company. </FONT></P>

This
 prospectus relates to offers and sales by certain of our officers and directors (also called Selling
 Stockholders) who may be deemed to be "affiliates" of Fortune Brands, Inc., as defined in Rule 405
 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of shares of our common stock that have been
 or may be acquired by such persons upon exercise of nonqualified stock options granted pursuant to our
 2002 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the "2002 Director Plan") or our prior Non-Employee Director
 Stock Option Plan (the "1997 Director Plan" and, together with the 2002 Director Plan, the "Director
 Plans"), or upon the exercise of incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options granted pursuant
 to our 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2003 Plan"), our 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "1999
 Plan"), our 1990 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the "1990 Plan"), our 1986 Stock Option Plan,
 as amended, or our 1981 Stock Option Plan, as amended (collectively called the Employee Plans), or upon
 the exercise of stock appreciation rights granted under the Employee Plans in respect of options, or
 pursuant to performance awards or restricted stock or other stock-based awards, or dividend equivalents
 earned thereon, under the 2003 Plan, the 1999 Plan or the 1990 Plan, or that have been or may be
 acquired by or for the account of such persons pursuant to our Retirement Savings Plan (formerly called
 the Defined Contribution Plan of Fortune Brands, Inc. and Participating Operating Companies) as a result
 of employee or employer contributions under such plan. The shares that may be so acquired by such persons
 pursuant to the Director Plans and the Employee Plans are called the award shares for purposes of this
 prospectus and the shares that have been or may be so acquired by such persons pursuant to the Retirement
 Savings Plan are herein referred to as the retirement savings plan shares.
The
 accompanying annual supplement to this prospectus sets forth who the Selling Stockholders are and the
 number of award shares and retirement plan shares covered by this prospectus.
Shares
 covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by or on behalf of the Selling
 Stockholders through brokers on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise at the prices prevailing at
 the time of such sales. No specified brokers or dealers have been designated by the Selling Stockholders
 and no agreement has been entered into in respect of brokerage commissions or for the exclusive or coordinated
 sale of any securities which may be offered pursuant to this prospectus. The net proceeds to the Selling
 Stockholders will be the proceeds received by them upon such sales, less brokerage commissions, if any.
 We will pay all expenses of preparing and reproducing this prospectus, but will not receive any of the
 proceeds from sales by any of the Selling Stockholders.
_________________
Neither
 the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved
 of these securities, or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to
 the contrary is a criminal offense.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section
 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware provides in part as follows:
"(a)       
 A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
 made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
 administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason
 of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or
 is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
 corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
 fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person
 in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner
 the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and,
 with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct
 was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction,
 or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that
 the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or
 not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
 had reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct was unlawful.
"(b)       
 A corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
 be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation
 to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer,
 employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
 officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
 against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection
 with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner
 the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and
 except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such
 person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the
 Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application
 that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such
II-2
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity
 for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
"(c)       
 To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the
 merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and
 (b) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified
 against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
 therewith.
"(d)       
 Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this section (unless ordered by a court) shall
 be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification
 of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because
 the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this section.
 Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time
 of such determination, (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit
 or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by
 majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors,
 or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders.
"(e)       
 Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal,
 administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance
 of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
 behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such
 person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses
 (including attorneys' fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents
 may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.
"(f)       
 The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections
 of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification
 or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
 directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another
 capacity while holding such office.
"(g)       
 A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or
 was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
 the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
 venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by
 such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the
 corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this section.
II-3
"(h)       
 For purposes of this section, references to 'the corporation' shall include, in addition to the resulting
 corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a
 consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority
 to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director,
 officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such
 constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
 joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this section with respect
 to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent
 corporation if its separate existence had continued.
"(i)       
 For purposes of this section, references to 'other enterprises' shall include employee benefit plans;
 references to 'fines' shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee
 benefit plan; and references to 'serving at the request of the corporation' shall include any service
 as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services
 by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants
 or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed
 to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed
 to have acted in a manner 'not opposed to the best interests of the corporation' as referred to in this
 section.
"(j)       
 The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this section shall,
 unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be
 a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators
 of such a person.
"(k)       
 The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine all actions
 for advancement of expenses or indemnification brought under this section or under any bylaw, agreement,
 vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Court of Chancery may summarily determine
 a corporation's obligation to advance expenses (including attorney's fees)."
Article XIII of Registrant's by-laws provides as
 follows:
"Section
 1. (A) Each person (an 'indemnitee') who was or is made or threatened to be made a party to or was or
 is involved (as a witness or otherwise) in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
 administrative or investigative (hereinafter a 'proceeding'), by reason of the fact that he or she or
 a person of whom he or she is the legal representative was or is a director, officer or employee of
 the Company or was or is serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent
 of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service
 with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding was or is alleged action
 in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving
 as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be
II-4
indemnified and held harmless by the Company
 to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as the same
 exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that
 such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted
 the Company to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including
 attorneys' fees and retainers therefor, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties under the Employee
 Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred
 or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person
 who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or
 her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except as provided in Section 3 of
 this Article XIII with respect to proceedings seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company
 shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof)
 initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors
 of the Company.
(B)       
 The right to indemnification conferred in this Article XIII is and shall be a contract right. The right
 to indemnification conferred in this Article XIII shall include the right to be paid by the Company
 the expenses (including attorneys' fees and retainers therefor) reasonably incurred in connection with
 any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition, such advances to be paid by the Company within
 20 days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from the indemnitee requesting
 such advance or advances from time to time; provided, however, that if the General Corporation Law of
 the State of Delaware requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his
 or her capacity as a director of officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered
 by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit
 plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Company
 of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it
 shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under
 this Article XIII or otherwise.
"Section
 2. (A) To obtain indemnification under this Article XIII, an indemnitee shall submit to the Company
 a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably
 available to the indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the
 indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. Upon written request by an indemnitee for indemnification
 pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2(A), a determination, if required by applicable law,
 with respect to the indemnitee's entitlement thereto shall be made as follows: (1) if requested by the
 indemnitee, by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined), or (2) if no request is made by the indemnitee
 for a determination by Independent Counsel, (a) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum
 consisting of Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined), or (b) if a quorum of the Board of Directors
 consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, such quorum of Disinterested
 Directors so directs, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy
 of which shall be delivered to the indemnitee, or (c) by the
II-5
stockholders of the Company. In the event the determination
 of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel at the request of the indemnitee,
 the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the indemnitee unless the indemnitee shall request that
 such selection be made by the Board of Directors, in which event the Independent Counsel shall be selected
 by the Board of Directors. If it is so determined that the indemnitee is entitled to indemnification,
 payment to the indemnitee shall be made within 10 days after such determination.
(B)       
 In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person, persons
 or entity making such determination shall presume that the indemnitee is entitled to indemnification
 under this Article XIII, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption
 in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that
 presumption.
"Section
 3. (A) If a claim under Section 1 of this Article XIII is not paid in full by the Company within 30
 days after a written claim pursuant to Section 2(A) of this Article XIII has been received by the Company,
 or if an advance is not made within 20 days after a request therefor pursuant to Section 1(B) of this
 Article XIII has been received by the Company, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit
 (or, at the indemnitee's option, an arbitration proceeding before a single arbitrator pursuant to the
 rules of the American Arbitration Association) against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the
 claim or the advance and, if successful in whole or in part, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be
 paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such suit or proceeding
 (other than a suit or proceeding brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in connection with
 any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required,
 has been tendered to the Company) that the indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct which make
 it permissible under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for the Company to indemnify
 the indemnitee for the amount claimed or that such indemnification otherwise is not permitted under
 the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, but the burden of proving such defense shall be
 on the Company.
(B)       
 Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders)
 to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the indemnitee
 is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth
 in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, nor an actual determination by the Company
 (including its board of directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders) that the indemnitee has not
 met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that
 the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
(C)       
 If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 2(A) of this Article XIII that the indemnitee
 is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding
 or arbitration commenced pursuant to paragraph (A) of this Section 3.
II-6
(D)       
 The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant
 to paragraph (A) of this Section 3 that the procedures and presumptions of this Article XIII are not
 valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that
 the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Article XIII.
"Section
 4. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in connection with a proceeding
 in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article XIII shall not be exclusive of any other
 right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate
 of Incorporation, By-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or Disinterested Directors or otherwise.
"Section
 5. The Company may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer,
 employee or agent of the Company or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
 enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company would have the power to
 indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the General Corporation Law of the
 State of Delaware. To the extent that the Company maintains any policy or policies providing such insurance,
 each such director, officer or employee, and each such agent to which rights to indemnification have
 been granted as provided in Section 6 of this Article XIII, shall be covered by such policy or policies
 in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage thereunder for any such
 director, officer, employee or agent.
"Section
 6. The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights
 to indemnification, and rights to be paid by the Company the expenses incurred in connection with any
 proceeding in advance of its final disposition, to any agent of the Company to the fullest extent of
 the provisions of this Article XIII with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses
 of directors, officers and employees of the Company.
"Section
 7. If any provision or provisions of this Article XIII shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
 for any reason whatsoever: (A) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
 of this Article XIII (including without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Article XIII
 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid,
 illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (B) to the fullest
 extent possible, the provisions of this Article XIII (including, without limitation, each portion of
 any Section of this Article XIII containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable)
 shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal
 or unenforceable.
"Section 8. For purposes of this Article XIII:
(A)        'Disinterested Director' means a director of the Company who is not and was not a party to the matter in respect of which indemnification is sought by the indemnitee.
II-7
(B)        'Independent Counsel' means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (1) the Company or the indemnitee in any matter material to either such party, or (2) any other party to the matter giving rise to a claim for indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term 'Independent Counsel' shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or the indemnitee in an action to determine the indemnitee's rights under this Article XIII.
"Section 9. Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted to be given to the Company under this Article XIII shall be in writing and either delivered in person or sent by telecopy, telex, telegram or certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Secretary of the Company and shall be effective only upon receipt by the Secretary."
Registrant has procured insurance protecting it under its obligation to indemnify officers and directors against certain types of liabilities (including certain liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933) that may be incurred by them in the performance of their duties and affording protection to such officers and directors in certain areas to which the corporate indemnity does not extend, all within specified limits and subject to specified deductions.
In addition, Registrant and certain other persons may be entitled under agreements entered into with agents or underwriters to indemnification by such agents or underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or to contribution with respect to payments which Registrant or such persons may be required to make in respect thereof.

Item 9. Undertakings.
Registrant
 hereby undertakes:
(a)        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;
(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;
(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;
provided,
however,
that clauses (i) and (ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those clauses is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(b)        That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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.
(c)        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.
Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement 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.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any
II-10
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, 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 whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
