Who bears the risk of market fluctuations in Eaton common shares and participation in the Plan?
Your direct investment in shares credited to your Plan account is no different than your investment in certificated shares. You alone bear the risk of fluctuations in the market value of Eaton common shares. You bear the risk of loss in value and you enjoy the benefits of gains from market price changes with respect to all of your shares. In addition, as a Plan participant, you may lose an advantage otherwise available in being able to select more specifically the timing of your investment or the sale of your shares.
