Liberty Corner, NJ - February 26, 2002 - Fedders Corporation (NYSE: FJC) a
leading global manufacturer of air treatment products, including air
conditioners, air cleaners, dehumidifiers and humidifiers, and thermal
technology products, today announced that its Annual Meeting of

proposal number eight. If approved, the common stockholders will receive
1.1 additional shares of new common stock, class A stockholders will
receive 1 share of new common stock and class B stockholders will receive
1.1 shares of new class B stock.
