Tecumseh Products Company to Delay Reporting Second Quarter 2006 Results

Tecumseh Products Company (Nasdaq: TECUA; TECUB) announced today that it will delay reporting its 2006 second quarter results because it needs additional time to close its books as a result of migration of several of its major operations to its new global enterprise resource planning computer system. The conference call previously planned for Tuesday, August 8, 2006 will be rescheduled to a date and time to be announced later. The Company also reported that it will delay filing its second quarter SEC Form 10-Q until Monday, August 14, 2006.
