PART I

Item 1.    Business

General

        Effective June 29, 2007, Tyco International Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "we," the "Company" or "Tyco") completed the spin-offs of Covidien and Tyco Electronics, formerly our Healthcare and Electronics businesses, respectively, into separate, publicly traded companies (the "Separation") in the form of a distribution to Tyco shareholders. The distribution was made on June 29, 2007, to Tyco shareholders of record on June 18, 2007, the record date. Each Tyco shareholder received 0.25 of a common share of each of Covidien and Tyco Electronics for each Tyco common share held on the record date. As a result of the distribution, the operations of Tyco's former Healthcare and Electronics businesses are now classified as discontinued operations in all periods presented.

        In connection with the Separation, we realigned our management and segment reporting structure. The segment data presented reflects the new segment structure. The Company reports financial and operating information in the following five segments, effective March 31, 2007:

    ADT Worldwide designs, sells, installs, services and monitors electronic security systems to residential, commercial, industrial and governmental customers.

    Fire Protection Services designs, sells, installs and services fire detection and fire suppression systems to commercial, industrial and governmental customers.

    Flow Control designs, manufactures, sells and services valves, pipes, fittings, valve automation and heat tracing products for the water and wastewater markets, the oil, gas and other energy markets along with general process industries.

    Safety Products designs, manufactures and sells fire protection, security and life safety products, including fire suppression products, breathing apparatus, intrusion security, access control and video management systems. In addition, Safety Products manufactures products installed and serviced by ADT Worldwide and Fire Protection Services.

    Electrical and Metal Products designs, manufactures and sells steel tubing and pipe products, as well as cable products, including pre-wired armored cable and flexible conduit products for commercial construction.

        We also provide general corporate services to our segments and these costs are reported as Corporate and Other.

        References to the segment data are to the Company's continuing operations. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to exclude the results of discontinued operations.

        Net revenue by segment for 2007 is as follows ($ in billions):

        Unless otherwise indicated, references in this Annual Report to 2007, 2006 and 2005 are to Tyco's fiscal year ended September 28, 2007, September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005, respectively.

Competitive Strengths

        We believe that we have the following competitive strengths:

    Leading market positions and brands. We have leading market positions in each of our segments, and a number of well recognized brands. For example:

    ADT Worldwide is one of the world's largest providers of electronic security systems and services to the commercial and residential markets (ADT and Sensormatic).

    Fire Protection Services is one of the world's largest providers of fire detection and fire suppression systems and services (SimplexGrinnell, Wormald and Mather & Platt).

    Flow Control is one of the world's largest manufacturers of valves and related products (Keystone and Vanessa).

    Safety Products is a major designer and manufacturer of fire suppression products (Ansul and Grinnell), breathing apparatus for emergency workers (Scott), intrusion security products (DSC and Bentel) and video and access control products (American Dynamics and Software House).

    Electrical and Metal Products is a major manufacturer of galvanized steel tubing and cable products (Allied Tube & Conduit and AFC Cable).

    Global reach and significant scale of operations. We are a global company, in terms of sales, manufacturing and services. We conduct business in more than 60 countries, and 53% of our 2007 net revenue was generated outside the United States, with 29% in Europe, 16% in the Asia-Pacific region and 8% in the Other Americas. We believe the global nature of our businesses and our extensive sales networks allow us to offer our services and products worldwide to our multinational customers, differentiating us from our competitors, and to participate in the higher growth potential of emerging markets. In addition, we have an extensive global manufacturing presence and operate over 200 manufacturing facilities around the world. Our global manufacturing footprint and our significant scale of operations provide us with greater flexibility to reduce our costs through manufacturing efficiencies, purchasing power and resources for product design, marketing and customer management relative to our smaller competitors.

    Diverse portfolio of services and products. We offer a broad portfolio of services and products, which allows our customers to fulfill many of their needs by purchasing solely from us. For customers that purchase multiple services or products across many geographic areas, the breadth of our offerings allows us to serve our customers in ways that many of our competitors cannot.

    Diverse customer base. Our customers operate in many different industries and countries, which allows us to leverage our skills and experience across many end markets. For example, we provide our electronic security services and products to many of the world's largest retailers, many of the leading banks in North America and to over five million households and over one and a half million business locations globally.

    Favorable long-term growth opportunities. We operate businesses in a number of different markets that have attractive characteristics and solid growth prospects. ADT Worldwide continues to experience strong growth rates due to continued commercial, residential and governmental demand for our broad range of market leading security systems and services. We expect that growth in Fire Protection Services will be driven by non-residential construction, by refurbishment and upgrades of existing systems and by increasingly demanding fire codes. We

2


      also believe that several of the industrial end markets in which Flow Control operates will achieve growth rates higher than the U.S. Gross Domestic Product. For example, we believe that the water market will continue to grow globally due to both the increasing demand for potable water in emerging markets and the need to upgrade distribution infrastructures in mature markets. We also believe that the oil and gas and petrochemical industries will experience increasing investment levels.

    Stable, recurring revenue base. Many of our ADT Worldwide customers have long-term agreements with us to provide ongoing monitoring, inspection and maintenance services, which generate predictable annual revenue in excess of $3.5 billion. In addition, we have a substantial amount of repeatable revenue from ongoing service and maintenance activities in our Fire Protection Services business.

    Strong cash flow. We historically have generated significant cash flow from our operations. Our cash flow provides us with the financial flexibility to invest in new products and acquisitions to enhance our market leading businesses.

    Experienced management team. Our executive officers have the proven track record and experience necessary to execute our business strategies. Led by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Ed Breen, our management team has successfully rationalized our operations, effected the spin-offs of Covidien and Tyco Electronics, reduced our financial leverage, implemented world-class corporate governance standards and improved our financial performance. Our executive officers and the managers that support them have extensive experience in and knowledge of the markets in which we operate and have established relationships with our customers.

Strategy

        Our goal is to build upon our position as a leading provider of electronic security, fire and safety services and products, valves and controls and other industrial products. We operate in a number of highly fragmented markets where we believe we have a number one or two market position that translates into a relatively small market share. We believe we have opportunities to increase our market share and accelerate revenue growth by expanding our customer base and by generating new business from our existing customers. In addition, we believe we have opportunities to improve our margins. Our business strategy includes the following strategic priorities:

    Expand our customer base. We believe that we have significant opportunities to attract customers and increase our market share by focusing our sales and marketing efforts and our product development efforts on key vertical markets. These vertical markets include: retailer, banking, governmental, educational, oil and gas and transportation for ADT Worldwide; healthcare, governmental, educational, lodging, manufacturing and commercial/industrial for Fire Protection Services; and oil, gas, power, petrochemicals and water for Flow Control. In addition, we believe that we have significant opportunities to acquire new residential customers for ADT Worldwide, primarily by leveraging the strength of our brand and our global presence. We also intend to aggressively pursue sales opportunities in new and emerging markets, where we believe that we have promising opportunities to expand our market share and where we can capitalize on the skills and technologies we developed in our existing markets.

    Generate new business from existing customers. We believe that our customer relationships, enhanced by targeted sales and marketing efforts that emphasize the breadth of our portfolio and that focus on product and service opportunities within each customer's industry, will enable us to increase our market penetration and generate increased sales and service revenue from existing customers. We intend to leverage our existing customer relationships to market a broader range of our services and products to our multinational customers. Similarly, we intend

3


      to identify customers that operate in limited geographic regions and that can benefit from services and products that we do not currently market in those regions. We expect to increase the global penetration of our leading brands among our existing customers.

    Improve productivity and efficiency. We intend to increase the profitability of our global portfolio of services and products by focusing on further improvements to our cost structure. We will continue to reduce our manufacturing costs by leveraging our purchasing power to reduce procurement costs, enhancing our manufacturing productivity through an emphasis on key metrics and processes such as Six Sigma, continuing to standardize our systems and processes across our businesses, consolidating facilities within countries and by moving our production facilities from high-cost to low-cost manufacturing regions. During the first quarter of 2007, we launched a restructuring program across all segments, including the corporate organization, which will streamline some of the businesses and reduce our operational footprint. We believe this restructuring program will strengthen our competitive position over the long term.

      In addition, we will continue to evaluate our existing operations on a regular basis in order to identify and potentially dispose of businesses or product lines that we conclude do not meet either our long-term return criteria or our strategic direction. For example, in July 2007, the Board of Directors approved the divestiture of Infrastructure Services, which was previously reported as part of Corporate and Other. As a result, Infrastructure Services is reflected as discontinued operations in all periods presented.

    Pursue disciplined acquisition process. Our strong cash flows will enable us to fund acquisitions that strengthen our product offerings and market positions, as well as increase our revenues, with a particular focus on our security, flow control and safety products businesses.

History and Development

Tyco International Ltd.

        Tyco International Ltd. is a Bermuda corporation. Its registered and principal office is located at Second Floor, 90 Pitts Bay Road, Pembroke HM 08, Bermuda, and its telephone number at that address is (441) 292-8674. Its management office in the United States is located at 9 Roszel Road, Princeton, New Jersey 08540. Tyco is the public company resulting from the business combination on July 2, 1997 of Tyco International Ltd., a Massachusetts corporation, and ADT Limited, a Bermuda company. Effective June 29, 2007, Tyco completed the spin-offs of Covidien and Tyco Electronics, formerly our Healthcare and Electronics businesses, respectively, into separate, publicly traded companies in the form of a distribution to Tyco shareholders.

Segments

        See Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for certain segment and geographic financial data relating to our business.

ADT Worldwide

        Our ADT Worldwide segment designs, sells, installs, services and monitors electronic security systems to residential, commercial, industrial and governmental customers around the world. We are one of the world's largest providers of electronic security systems and services. We have a significant market presence in North and South America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. With 2007 net revenue of $7.6 billion, our ADT Worldwide segment comprises 41% of our consolidated net revenue. In 2006 and 2005, net revenue totaled $7.2 billion or 42% of our consolidated net revenue and $7.1 billion or 43% of our consolidated net revenue, respectively.

Strategy

        We intend to expand our commercial customer base by focusing our sales and marketing efforts on key vertical markets such as retailer, banking, governmental, educational, oil and gas and transportation. By adopting a vertical market-focused approach, we believe we can effectively target those market segments where ADT Worldwide can differentiate its core capabilities and customize security solutions specific to its customers' needs. We intend to increase the number of commercial and residential customers by more effectively generating leads and by driving productivity in our sales force through improved incentives and performance management systems. We also plan to increase our customer base by acquiring additional accounts from our network of authorized dealers. Further, we expect to continue improving our customer account attrition rates through enhanced retention and re-sale programs, albeit at a more moderate rate than in the past few years.

        ADT Worldwide operates in many regions including North America, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia, Australia and Latin America. Operating performance can vary region to region for a number of reasons, including the mix of revenues between residential and commercial customers as well as the mix of higher-margin contractual revenue vs. lower-margin product installation revenue. We have identified certain strategic actions that we are executing to improve our operating performance in certain regions that are currently underperforming. These actions include consolidating certain administrative functions and executing field productivity initiatives, particularly in Europe.

        We will pursue opportunities in attractive emerging markets where we believe we can leverage the skills and technologies that we have developed in the markets we currently serve. We will complement these initiatives by continuing to work with our Safety Products segment to develop new technologies and explore potential partnerships and acquisition opportunities that will allow ADT Worldwide to strengthen its service offerings, enhance its market positions or expand into higher-growth, adjacent markets.

Services and Products

        ADT Worldwide supplies and installs electronic security systems to the residential, commercial, industrial and governmental markets. A significant portion of the mechanical components used in our electronic security systems are manufactured by our Safety Products segment. We also provide electronic security services, including monitoring of burglar alarms, fire alarms and other life safety conditions as well as maintaining electronic security systems.

        Our electronic security systems business involves the installation and use of security systems designed to detect intrusion, control access and react to movement, fire, smoke, flooding, environmental conditions, industrial processes and other hazards. These electronic security systems comprise detection devices that are connected to a monitoring center that receives and records alarm signals. For most systems, control panels identify the nature of the alarm and the areas where a sensor was triggered. Our electronic security systems include: access control systems for sensitive areas such as offices or banks; video surveillance systems, designed to deter theft and fraud and help protect employees and customers; and asset protection and security management systems, designed to monitor and protect physical assets as well as proprietary electronic data. Our electronic security systems also include anti-theft systems utilizing labels and tags in the retail industry. Many of the world's leading retailers use our Sensormatic anti-theft systems to protect against shoplifting and employee theft.

        Purchasers of our intrusion security systems typically contract for ongoing security system monitoring and maintenance at the time of initial equipment installation. Systems installed at customers' premises may be owned by us or by our customers. Monitoring center personnel may respond to alarms by relaying appropriate information to local fire or police departments, notifying the customer or taking other appropriate action. In some instances, alarm systems may be connected directly to local fire or police departments.

5



        Our customers often are prompted to purchase security systems by their insurance carriers, which may offer lower insurance premium rates if a security system is installed or require that a system be installed as a condition of coverage.

Customers

        ADT Worldwide sells to residential, commercial, industrial and governmental customers. Our residential customers typically include owners of single-family homes or multi-family apartment complexes. Our commercial customers include among others retail businesses, financial institutions, commercial/industrial facilities and health care facilities. Our governmental customers include federal, state and local governments, defense installations, schools and mass transportation providers. In addition to advertising, direct mailings and the internet, we market our electronic security systems and services to these customers through a direct sales force and, with respect to certain residential customers, through an authorized dealer network. A separate sales force services large commercial and governmental customers and focuses on key vertical markets such as retailer and banking.

Competition

        The electronic security services business is highly competitive and fragmented with a number of major firms and thousands of smaller regional and local companies. Competition is based primarily on price in relation to quality of service. Rather than compete purely on price, we emphasize the quality of our electronic security service, the reputation of our brands and our knowledge of our customers' security needs.

Fire Protection Services

        Our Fire Protection Services segment designs, sells, installs and services fire detection and fire suppression systems. We believe we are one of the largest providers of these systems and services, with 2007 net revenue of $3.5 billion. Our Fire Protection Services segment comprises 19% of our consolidated net revenue. In 2006 and 2005, net revenue totaled $3.3 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively, which represents 19% of our consolidated net revenue in both years.

Strategy

        We intend to grow our customer base and deepen our market penetration by focusing our sales and marketing efforts across global accounts and along key vertical markets, such as healthcare, governmental, educational, lodging, manufacturing and commercial/industrial. By combining this vertical market approach with increased focus on the delivery and responsiveness of our service offerings, we believe we can differentiate our offerings to better serve our customers' needs. We also plan to aggressively pursue recurring revenue opportunities with existing customers. We intend to expand our product offerings in high-growth, emerging markets where we believe we can capitalize on the skills and technologies that we have developed in our existing markets. By working closely with our Safety Products segment, we intend to develop offerings that address key technologies driving customer demand, such as mass notification, as well as new business generated from changes and expansions in fire and life-safety codes and standards. We will continue to promote operational excellence by standardizing internal processes across business units and consolidating back office capabilities.

Services and Products

        We design, sell, install and service fire alarm and fire detection systems, automatic fire sprinkler systems and special hazard suppression systems. Fire Protection Services operates under various leading trade names, including SimplexGrinnell, Wormald, Mather & Platt, Total Walther, Dong Bang, Zettler and Tyco. A significant portion of the mechanical components used in our fire detection systems are manufactured by our Safety Products segment.

6


        We offer a wide range of fire alarm and fire detection systems. These alarm and detection systems include fire alarm control panels, advanced fire alarm monitoring systems, smoke, heat and carbon monoxide detectors, voice evacuation systems and emergency lighting systems. We also offer a wide range of fire suppression systems, the majority which are water-based sprinkler systems. In addition, we provide custom designed special hazard suppression systems, which incorporate specialized extinguishing agents such as foams, dry chemicals and gases, in addition to spill control products designed to absorb, neutralize and solidify spills of hazardous materials. These systems are often especially suited to fire suppression in certain manufacturing, power generation, petrochemical, offshore oil exploration, transportation, data processing, telecommunications, commercial food preparation, mining and marine applications.

        We install fire detection and fire suppression systems in both new and existing buildings. These systems typically are purchased by owners, construction engineers and mechanical or general contractors. In recent years, retrofitting of existing buildings has grown as a result of legislation mandating the installation of fire detection and fire suppression systems, especially in hotels, healthcare facilities and educational establishments. We continue to focus on system maintenance and inspection, which have become increasingly significant parts of our business.

Customers

        Fire Protection Services' customers include commercial enterprises, governmental entities, airports, commercial shipping companies, fire departments, transportation systems, owners of petrochemical facilities and homeowners. We market our fire detection and fire suppression systems to the majority of these customers through a direct sales force.

Competition

        Competition in the fire detection and fire suppression business varies by region. In North America, we compete with hundreds of smaller contractors on a regional or local basis for the installation of fire detection and fire suppression systems. In Europe, we compete with many regional or local contractors on a country-by-country basis. In Asia, Australia and New Zealand, we compete with a few large fire detection and fire suppression contractors, as well as with many smaller regional and local companies. We compete for fire detection and fire suppression systems contracts primarily on the basis of price, service and quality.

Flow Control

        Our Flow Control segment designs, manufactures, sells and services valves, pipes, fittings, valve automation and heat tracing products for the water and wastewater markets, the oil, gas and other energy markets along with general process industries. The global flow control market is highly fragmented, consisting of many local and regional companies and a few global competitors. We believe we are the world's leading manufacturer of flow control products. We believe our market share in the global water, process, and energy-related markets is approximately 5%. With 2007 net revenue of $3.8 billion, our Flow Control segment comprises 20% of our consolidated net revenue. In 2006 and 2005, net revenue totaled $3.1 billion or 18% of our consolidated net revenue and $2.8 billion or 17% of our consolidated net revenue, respectively.

Strategy

        We intend to further align with our customers' needs by focusing our sales and marketing resources along key vertical markets, including water and wastewater, oil and gas, food processing and general industrial. We plan to continue expanding our product offerings through increased R&D investments in developing technologies, as well as through selective acquisitions and partnerships. By

7



continuing to invest in our service and repair capabilities, we expect to capitalize on strong industry demand for parts and after-market services in our recurring revenue business. We intend to leverage the breadth of our product portfolio and our geographic capabilities to enhance our ability to meet customer requirements for global projects. We intend to capitalize on growth opportunities in key emerging markets by accelerating our investment in sales and marketing. We also intend to focus on improving profitability through the optimization of our manufacturing footprint and product offerings.

Services and Products

        Flow Control designs and manufactures a wide variety of valves, actuators, controls, pipes, fittings and heat tracing products. Valve products include a broad range of industrial valves, including on-off valves, safety relief valves and other specialty valves. Actuation products include pneumatic, hydraulic and electric actuators. Control products include limit switches, solenoid valves, valve positioners, network systems and accessories. For the water market, Flow Control offers a wide variety of pipes, valves, hydrants, house connections and fittings for water transmission and distribution applications. Flow Control is also a global provider of heat tracing services and products. In addition to these core products, Flow Control makes a variety of specialty products for environmental (emissions monitoring, water flow and quality monitoring, dust filter cleaning systems), instrumentation (manifolds, enclosures, isolation valves) and other applications. We manufacture these products in facilities located throughout the world.

        Flow Control products are used in many applications including power generation, chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas, water distribution, wastewater, pulp and paper, commercial irrigation, mining, food and beverage, plumbing and HVAC. Flow Control also provides engineering, design, inspection, maintenance and repair services for its valves and related products.

        Flow Control products are sold under many trade names, including Anderson Greenwood, Biffi, Crosby, Keystone, KTM, Raychem, Sempell, Tracer and Vanessa. Flow Control sells its services and products in most geographic regions directly through its internal sales force and in some cases through a network of independent distributors and manufacturers' representatives.

Customers

        Flow Control's customers include businesses engaged in a wide range of industries, including power generation, oil production and refining, chemical and petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, gas, water, marine and shipbuilding and related process industries. Customers include end users as well as engineering, procurement and construction companies, contractors, OEMs and distributors. Flow Control operates an extensive network of sales, service and distribution centers to serve our wide range of global customers. Flow Control is a global company with 40% of sales in Europe and the Middle East, 25% from the Americas, 22% from the Pacific region and 13% from Asia.

Competition

        The flow control industry is highly fragmented. We compete against a number of international, national and local manufacturers of industrial valves as well as against specialized manufacturers on the basis of product capability, product quality, breadth of product line, delivery and price. Our major competitors vary by region.

Safety Products

        Safety Products designs, manufactures and sells fire protection, security and life safety products, including fire suppression products, breathing apparatus, intrusion security, access control and video management systems. In addition, Safety Products manufactures products installed and serviced by

ADT Worldwide and Fire Protection Services. We are a major provider of safety products, including fire suppression, breathing apparatus, video and access control and intrusion security products. With 2007 net revenue of $1.8 billion, our Safety Products segment comprises 9% of our consolidated net revenue. In both 2006 and 2005, net revenue totaled $1.7 billion or 10% of our consolidated net revenue.

Strategy

        We intend to accelerate our revenue growth by implementing the following strategies: leveraging our product development pipeline, which features enhancements and newer technologies in Internet Protocol, integrated access control, intrusion solutions and new fire suppression technologies; expanding our presence in emerging markets, such as China, Eastern Europe and India; and pursuing strategic partnerships and acquisitions in key product areas. We intend to improve our recurring revenue stream by further integrating our product portfolio with logical security systems and communications services, as well as by enhancing the inter-operability of our intrusion security, access control, video systems and fire detection products. We plan to improve our profitability by continuing to move our manufacturing footprint to low-cost countries and by driving operational excellence and strategic sourcing initiatives.

Services and Products

        We manufacture fire suppression products, including water sprinkler systems, portable fire extinguishers, commercial suppression systems for special hazards including: gas, powder and foam agents, forestry and hose products used to fight wildfires, and fire-fighting foam and related delivery devices. We manufacture self-contained breathing apparatus designed for firefighter, industrial and military use, supplied air respirators, air-purifying respirators, thermal imaging cameras, gas detection equipment and gas masks. Our breathing apparatus are used by the military forces of several countries and many U.S. firefighters rely on our Scott Air-Pak brand of self-contained breathing apparatus.

        We design and manufacture integrated video surveillance and access control systems to enable businesses to manage their security and enhance business performance. Our global access control solutions include: integrated security management systems for enterprise applications, access control solutions for mid-size applications, alarm management panels, door controllers, readers, keypads and cards. Our global video system solutions include: digital video management systems, matrix switchers and controllers, digital multiplexers, programmable cameras, monitors and liquid crystal displays. Our intrusion security products provide advanced security products for homes and businesses ranging from burglar alarms to a full range of security systems including alarm control panels, keypads, sensors and central station receiving equipment used in security monitoring centers.

        We also manufacture a number of products for Fire Protection Services and ADT Worldwide for incorporation into their electronic security systems and fire detection and fire suppression systems. These products include a wide range of our fire detection and fire suppression products, security video and access control products, electronic article surveillance and intrusion products.

Customers

        Safety Products sells its products primarily through indirect distribution channels around the world. These business partners sell to customers including contractors that install fire suppression, security and theft protection systems. Some of our partners are integrators and install the products themselves; others act as dealers and sell to smaller fire and security contractors. Our end customers for our breathing apparatus include fire departments, municipal and state governments and military forces. Customers for our fire sprinkler products include distributors, commercial builders and contractors. Residential builders, contractors and developers are emerging customers for our sprinkler products given changing regulatory dynamics.

9



        Our Safety Products businesses utilize a worldwide network of sales offices and operate globally under various trade names, including Scott, Ansul, Grinnell, SoftwareHouse, American Dynamics, DSC and Bentel.

Competition

        Competition for the manufacture and sale of our products is based on specialized product capacity, breadth of product line, price, training and support and delivery. The principal competitors are specialty products manufacturing companies based in the United States, with other smaller competitors in Europe and Asia.

Electrical and Metal Products

        Our Electrical and Metal Products segment designs, manufactures and sells galvanized steel tubing and pipe products, as well as cable products, including pre-wired electrical cables, and electrical support and metal framing systems. In North America, our Allied Tube & Conduit business is a leading manufacturer of electrical steel conduit, and our AFC Cable Systems division is a leading manufacturer of steel and aluminum pre-wired electrical cable. Electrical and Metal Products also manufactures and sells steel tubes, tiles, plates and other specialty formed steel products in Brazil. With 2007 net revenue of $2.0 billion, our Electrical and Metal Products segment comprises 11% of our consolidated net revenue. In 2006 and 2005, net revenue totaled $1.9 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, which represents 11% of our consolidated net revenue in both years.

        The market prices of key raw materials such as steel and copper have a significant impact on the segment's operating results. The segment's operating margins are significantly affected by steel and copper spreads which are the difference between what the company paid for these raw materials and the selling price charged to customers for the range of products manufactured from these raw materials.

Strategy

        We intend to maintain our market position in key end markets by continuing to take advantage of our low-cost manufacturing base, technical leadership and brand recognition. We also plan to increase our product offerings to address opportunities in specific industries, such as comprehensive metal framing solutions for the non-residential construction industry. In our tubular products business, we intend to diversify into new OEM markets and offer complementary products in our existing markets.

Services and Products

        Electrical and Metal Products designs and manufactures galvanized steel tubing and pipe products that include electrical conduit, fire sprinkler pipe, light gauge steel tube, fence pipe and automotive tubular components. These steel tube and pipe products are sold under the brand names Allied Tube & Conduit, Century Tube and Tectron Tube.

        We also design and manufacture cable products including pre-wired armored and metal-clad electrical cable as well as flexible and non-metallic conduit. These cable products are sold under the brand names AFC Cable Systems, Eastern Wire and Kaf-Tech. In addition, we manufacture various electrical support system products including strut channel and cable tray systems and associated fittings, sold under the brand names Unistrut and TJ Cope.

Customers

        The majority of the products manufactured by Electrical and Metal Products are used by trade contractors in the construction and modernization of non-residential structures such as commercial office buildings, institutional facilities, manufacturing plants and warehouses, shopping centers and multi-family dwellings. Nearly 90% of these products are sold through wholesale distribution to trade contractors; the remaining 10% of sales are sold to smaller contractors and homeowners through home improvement retailers.

10


        The other major customer segment, representing approximately 25% of revenue, is the OEM market. Steel tubing supplied by Electrical and Metal Products is ultimately used as a component for OEM products in automotive, commercial or industrial end markets. Steel tubular products are sold direct to OEMs or, in the case of automotive components, to suppliers.

Competition

        The market for electrical conduit and wiring and supports, fire protection and security products and steel tubing includes a broad range of competitors. Our principal competitors range from national manufacturers to smaller regional players. Our customers purchase from us because of the quality and breadth of our product line and the availability of our products.

        Foreign suppliers, especially those in China, Turkey and India, also aggressively pursue the sprinkler pipe and fence pipe market through their standard pipe offerings.

Backlog

        See Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for information relating to our backlog.

Intellectual Property

        Patents and other proprietary rights are important to our business. We also rely upon trade secrets, manufacturing know-how, continuing technological innovations and licensing opportunities to maintain and improve our competitive position. We review third-party proprietary rights, including patents and patent applications, in an effort to develop an effective intellectual property strategy, avoid infringement of third-party proprietary rights, identify licensing opportunities and monitor the intellectual property claims of others.

        We own a portfolio of patents that principally relates to: electronic security systems; fire detection systems; suppression systems; fire extinguishers and related products; integrated systems for surveillance and control of public transportation and other public works; fire protection sprinklers and related systems and products; structural and electrical tubing and conduit; building structural members, panels and related fixtures; concrete reinforcing products; fire-rated and armored electrical cabling; heat tracing and floor heating systems; security wire and fencing; and flow control products, including valves, actuators and controllers and airflow control and sensing products. We also own a portfolio of trademarks and are a licensee of various patents and trademarks. Patents for individual products extend for varying periods according to the date of patent filing or grant and the legal term of patents in the various countries where patent protection is obtained. Trademark rights may potentially extend for longer periods of time and are dependent upon national laws and use of the marks.

        While we consider our patents and trademarks to be valuable assets, we do not believe that our overall competitive position is dependent on patent or trademark protection or that our overall operations are dependent upon any single patent or group of related patents.

Research and Development

        We are engaged in research and development in an effort to introduce new products, to enhance the effectiveness, ease of use, safety and reliability of our existing products and to expand the applications for which the uses of our products are appropriate. We continually evaluate developing technologies in areas that we believe will enhance our business for possible investment or acquisition. Our research and development expense was $121 million in 2007, $112 million in 2006, and $113 million in 2005.

Raw and Other Purchased Materials

        We are a large buyer of metals and other commodities, including gas. Certain of the components used in the Fire Protection Services business, principally certain valves and fittings, are purchased for

11



installation in fire protection systems or for distribution. Materials are purchased from a large number of independent sources around the world. There have been no shortages in materials which have had a material adverse effect on our businesses. However, significant increases in certain raw material costs may have an adverse impact on costs and operating margins. We enter into long-term supply contracts, using fixed or variable pricing to manage our exposure to potential supply disruptions.

Governmental Regulation and Supervision

        Our operations are subject to various federal, state and local consumer protection, licensing and other laws and regulations. Most states in which we operate have licensing laws directed specifically toward the alarm and fire suppression industries. Our ADT Worldwide business currently relies primarily upon the use of wireline telephone service to communicate signals. Wireline telephone companies in the United States are regulated by both the federal and state governments.

        We conduct our businesses through subsidiaries worldwide. Changes in legislation or government policies can affect our worldwide operations. For example, governmental regulation of fire safety codes can impact our Fire Protection Services business.

Environmental Matters

        We are subject to numerous foreign, federal, state and local environmental protection and health and safety laws governing, among other things, the generation, storage, use and transportation of hazardous materials; emissions or discharges of substances into the environment; and the health and safety of our employees. The cost of compliance with environmental laws, however, has not had, and based on current information and applicable laws, is not expected to have, a material adverse effect upon our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

        Certain environmental laws assess liability on current or previous owners or operators of real property for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous substances at their properties or at properties at which they have disposed of hazardous substances. In addition to cleanup actions brought by governmental authorities, private parties could bring personal injury or other claims due to the presence of, or exposure to, hazardous substances. We have received notification from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and from state environmental agencies that conditions at a number of sites where we and others disposed of hazardous substances require cleanup and other possible remedial action and may require that we reimburse the government or otherwise pay for the cost of cleanup of those sites and/or for natural resource damages. We have projects underway at a number of current and former manufacturing facilities to investigate and remediate environmental contamination resulting from past operations.

        Given uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and alternative cleanup methods, the ultimate cost of cleanup at disposal sites and manufacturing facilities is difficult to predict. Based upon our experience, current information and applicable laws, we believe that it is probable that we would incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $36 million to $63 million. As of September 28, 2007, we believe that the best estimate within this range is approximately $40 million, of which $11 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $29 million is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In view of our financial position and reserves for environmental matters, we believe that any potential payment of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Employees

        As of September 28, 2007, we employed approximately 118,000 people worldwide, of which approximately 45,000 are employed in the United States and 73,000 are outside the United States. We have collective bargaining agreements with labor unions covering approximately 17,000 employees and believe that our relations with the labor unions are generally good.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

        You should carefully consider the risks described below before investing in our publicly traded securities. The risks described below are not the only ones facing us. Our business is also subject to the risks that affect many other companies, such as competition, technological obsolescence, labor relations, general economic conditions, geopolitical events, climate change and international operations. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may impair our business operations and our liquidity.

Risks Relating to Our Businesses

    Cyclical industry and economic conditions have affected and may continue to adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

        Our operating results can be adversely affected by the general cyclical pattern of certain industries in which we operate. For example, demand for our services and products is significantly affected by the level of commercial construction, the amount of discretionary consumer and business spending and the performance of the housing market, each of which historically has displayed significant cyclicality. A downturn in any of these industries or the deterioration in general global economic conditions could have a negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

    Our operations expose us to the risk of material environmental liabilities, litigation and violations.

        We are subject to numerous foreign, federal, state and local environmental protection and health and safety laws governing, among other things:

    the generation, storage, use and transportation of hazardous materials;

    emissions or discharges of substances into the environment; and

    the health and safety of our employees.

There can be no assurances that we have been or will be at all times in compliance with environmental and health and safety laws. If we violate these laws, we could be fined, criminally charged or otherwise sanctioned by regulators.

        Certain environmental laws assess liability on current or previous owners or operators of real property for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous substances at their properties or at

13



properties at which they have disposed of hazardous substances. In addition to cleanup actions brought by governmental authorities, private parties could bring personal injury or other claims due to the presence of, or exposure to, hazardous substances.

        We have received notification from the United States Environmental Protection Agency and from state environmental agencies, that conditions at a number of sites where we and others disposed of hazardous substances require cleanup and other possible remedial action and may require that we reimburse the government or otherwise pay for the cost of cleanup of those sites and /or for natural resource damages. We have projects underway at a number of current and former manufacturing facilities to investigate and remediate environmental contamination resulting from past operations. These projects relate to a variety of activities, including:

    solvent, metal and other hazardous substance contamination cleanup; and

    oil spill equipment upgrades and replacement.

These projects involve both remediation expenses and capital improvements. In addition, we remain responsible for certain environmental issues at manufacturing locations previously sold by us.

        The ultimate cost of cleanup at disposal sites and manufacturing facilities is difficult to predict given uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and alternative cleanup methods. Based upon our experience, current information and applicable laws, we believe that it is probable that we would incur remedial costs of approximately $40 million, of which $11 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $29 million is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Environmental laws are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time. While we have budgeted for future capital and operating expenditures to maintain compliance with such laws, we cannot provide assurance that our costs of complying with current or future environmental protection and health and safety laws, or our liabilities arising from past or future releases of, or exposures to, hazardous substances will not exceed our estimates or adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows or that we will not be subject to additional environmental claims for personal injury or cleanup in the future based on our past, present or future business activities.

    We may be required to recognize additional impairment charges.

        Pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we are required to periodically assess our goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets to determine if they are impaired. Disruptions to our business, end market conditions and protracted economic weakness, unexpected significant declines in operating results of reporting units, divestitures and market capitalization declines may result in additional charges for goodwill and other asset impairments. We assessed the recoverability of goodwill upon the realignment of our business in connection with the Separation, which resulted in a $46 million charge for goodwill. Future impairment charges could substantially affect our reported earnings in the periods of such charges and could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

    We are named as a defendant in a variety of litigation in the course of our business that could cause a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

        In the ordinary course of business, we are named as a defendant in a significant amount of litigation, including claims for damages arising out of the use or installation of our products, litigation alleging the infringement of intellectual property rights, litigation alleging anti-competitive behavior, product liability litigation, employee matters and commercial disputes. In certain circumstances, patent infringement and anti-trust laws permit successful plaintiffs to recover treble damages. The defense of these lawsuits may divert our management's attention, and we may incur significant expenses in defending these lawsuits. In addition, we may be required to pay damage awards or settlements, or become subject to injunctions or other equitable remedies, that could cause a material adverse effect

14


on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Moreover, any insurance or indemnification rights that we have may be insufficient or unavailable to protect us against potential loss exposures.

        Some of the lawsuits outstanding against us relate to actions taken by our former senior corporate management. On May 14, 2007, we entered into a proposed settlement with respect to most of the class actions and deposited $2.975 billion into an escrow accounts pending final settlement of such class actions. We do not believe that it is feasible to predict or determine the final outcome or resolution of the unresolved proceedings. A failure to consummate the proposed settlement on the agreed terms or an adverse outcome from the unresolved proceedings or liabilities or other proceedings could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

        In addition, we could face liability for failure to respond adequately to alarm activations. The nature of the services we provide potentially exposes us to risks of liability for employee acts or omissions or system failures. In an attempt to reduce this risk, our alarm monitoring agreements contain provisions limiting our liability in such circumstances. We cannot assure you, however, that these limitations will be enforced. Losses from such litigation could be material to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

    Our ADT business may experience higher rates of customer attrition, which may reduce our future revenue and cause us to change the estimated useful lives of assets related to our security monitoring customers, increasing our depreciation and amortization expense.

        Attrition rates for customers in our ADT Worldwide business were 12.3%, 14.2% and 15.0% on a trailing 12-month basis as of September 28, 2007, September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005, respectively. Although rates have decreased, if attrition rates were to trend upward, ADT's recurring revenue and results of operations will be adversely affected. Tyco amortizes the costs of ADT's contracts and related customer relationships purchased through the ADT dealer program based on the estimated life of the customer relationships. Internally generated residential and commercial pools are similarly depreciated. If the attrition rates were to rise Tyco may be required to accelerate the depreciation and amortization of subscriber system assets and intangible assets, which could cause a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

    Our future growth is largely dependent upon our ability to develop new technologies that achieve market acceptance with acceptable margins.

        Our businesses operate in global markets that are characterized by rapidly changing technologies and evolving industry standards. Accordingly, our future growth rate depends upon a number of factors, including our ability to: identify emerging technological trends in our target end-markets; develop and maintain competitive products; enhance our products by adding innovative features that differentiate our products from those of our competitors; and develop, manufacture and bring products to market quickly and cost-effectively. Our ability to develop new products based on technological innovation can affect our competitive position and requires the investment of significant resources. These development efforts divert resources from other potential investments in our businesses, and they may not lead to the development of new technologies or products on a timely basis or that meet the needs of our customers as fully as competitive offerings. In addition, the markets for our products may not develop or grow as we anticipate. For example, on February 18, 2008, the Federal Communications Commission will allow its mandate to wireless cellular carriers requiring them to maintain analog cellular service to expire. As a result, we expect the cellular communicators in certain of our security systems to become obsolete. We have begun the process of upgrading the affected devices to digital technology, which has resulted in additional expenses in our fiscal fourth quarter, and we expect to incur additional expenses in the future. If we fail to complete this upgrade, it could result in the loss of customers. Moreover, the failure of our technology or products to gain market acceptance or their obsolescence could

15


significantly reduce our revenues, increase our operating costs or otherwise adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

    Our failure to satisfy International Trade Compliance regulations may adversely affect us.

        Tyco's global operations require importing and exporting goods and technology across international borders on a regular basis. From time to time, Tyco obtains or receives information alleging improper activity in connection with imports or exports. Tyco's policy mandates strict compliance with U.S. and foreign international trade laws. When Tyco receives information alleging improper activity, its policy is to investigate that information and respond appropriately, including, if warranted, reporting its findings to relevant governmental authorities. Nonetheless, we cannot provide assurance that our policies and procedures will always protect us from acts by our employees that would violate U.S. and/or foreign laws. Such improper actions could subject the Company to civil or criminal penalties, including substantial monetary fines, or other adverse actions including denial of import or export privileges, and could damage our reputation and, therefore, our ability to do business.

    We could be adversely affected by violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws.

        The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to non-U.S. officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Our policies mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws. We operate in many parts of the world that have experienced governmental corruption to some degree and in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with local customs and practices. We cannot assure you that our internal control policies and procedures always will protect us from reckless or criminal acts committed by our employees or agents. Violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

    Covenants in our debt instruments may adversely affect us.

        Our bank credit agreements contain financial covenants, including a limit on the ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and limits on incurrence of liens and subsidiary debt. Our indentures contain customary covenants including limits on negative pledges, subsidiary debt and sale/leaseback transactions.

        Although we believe none of these covenants are considered restrictive to our operations, our ability to meet the financial covenants can be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot provide assurance that we will meet those tests. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under our credit agreements or indentures. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under any of our credit facilities or indentures, the lenders or trustees could elect to declare all amounts outstanding thereunder to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If the lenders or trustees accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we cannot provide assurance that we will have sufficient assets to repay our credit facilities and our other indebtedness. Acceleration of any obligation under any of our material debt instruments will permit the holders of our other material debt to accelerate their obligations. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capitalization".

    Changes in legislation or governmental regulations or policies can have a significant impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

        We operate in regulated industries. Our U.S. operations are subject to regulation by a number of federal, state and local governmental agencies with respect to safety of operations and equipment, labor and employment matters and financial responsibility. Intrastate operations in the United States are subject to regulation by state regulatory authorities, and our international operations are regulated by

16


the countries in which they operate. We and our employees are subject to various U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulations, as well as non-U.S. laws and regulations, including many related to consumer protection. Most states in which we operate have licensing laws covering the monitored security services industry and the construction industry. Our business relies heavily upon wireline telephone service to communicate signals, and wireline telephone companies are regulated by both the federal and state governments. Changes in laws or regulations could require us to change the way we operate, which could increase costs or otherwise disrupt operations. In addition, failure to comply with any applicable laws or regulations could result in substantial fines or revocation of our operating permits and licenses. If laws and regulations changed or we failed to comply, our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

    Legislative and other measures that may be taken by U.S. governmental authorities could materially increase our tax burden or otherwise adversely affect our financial conditions, results of operations or cash flows.

        We continue to assess the impact of various U.S. federal and state legislative proposals, and modifications to existing tax treaties between the United States and foreign countries, that could result in a material increase in our U.S. federal and state taxes. In October 2004, the U.S. Congress enacted legislation affecting the tax treatment of U.S. companies that have undertaken certain types of expatriation transactions. Such legislation did not, however, retroactively apply to the 1997 acquisition of Tyco International Ltd. by ADT Limited. More recently, several proposals have been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives that, if ultimately enacted by the U.S. Congress, would have limited treaty benefits on certain payments made by our U.S. subsidiaries to non-U.S. affiliates. We cannot predict the outcome of any specific legislative proposals. However, if such proposals were to be enacted, or if modifications were to be made to certain existing tax treaties, the consequences could have a materially adverse impact on Tyco, including increasing our tax burden, increasing costs of our tax compliance or otherwise adversely affecting our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

    We could face product liability claims relating to products we manufacture or install. These claims could result in significant costs and liabilities and reduce our profitability.

        We face exposure to product liability claims in the event that any of our products results in personal injury or property damage. In the event that any of our products prove to be defective, we may be required to recall or redesign such products, which could result in significant unexpected costs. Any insurance we maintain may not be available on terms acceptable to us or such coverage may not be adequate for liabilities actually incurred. Any claim or product recall could result in adverse publicity against us, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

    We have significant foreign operations, which are subject to political, economic and other risks inherent in operating in foreign countries.

        We have significant operations outside of the United States. We currently operate in approximately 60 countries. We generated 53% of our net revenue outside of the United States in 2007. We expect net revenue generated outside of the United States to continue to represent a significant portion of total net revenue. Business operations outside of the United States are subject to political, economic and other risks inherent in operating in certain countries, such as:

    the difficulty of enforcing agreements, collecting receivables and protecting assets through foreign legal systems;

    trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements;

    difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations and the application of foreign labor regulations;

17


    compliance with a variety of foreign laws and regulations;

    changes in the general political and economic conditions in the countries where we operate, particularly in emerging markets;

    the threat of nationalization and expropriation;

    increased costs and risks of doing business in a number of foreign jurisdictions;

    changes in enacted tax laws;

    limitations on repatriation of earnings; and

    fluctuations in equity and revenues due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

        Changes in the political or economic environments in the countries in which we operate could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

    Volatility in currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates may adversely affect our financial condition, result of operations or cash flows.

        We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. See Part II Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

        Our net revenue derived from sales in non-U.S. markets for 2007 was 53% of our total net revenue, and we expect revenue from non-U.S. markets to continue to represent a significant portion of our net revenue. Therefore, when the U.S. dollar strengthens in relation to the currencies of the foreign countries where we sell our products, our U.S. dollar reported revenue and income will decrease. Changes in the relative values of currencies occur regularly and in some instances, may have a significant effect on our results of operations. Our financial statements reflect recalculations of items denominated in non-U.S. currencies to U.S. dollars, our functional currency.

        We are a large buyer of metals and other commodities, including gas, the prices of which have fluctuated significantly in recent years. Volatility in the prices of these commodities could increase the costs of manufacturing our products and providing our services. We may not be able to pass on these costs to our customers and this could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

        We monitor these exposures as an integral part of our overall risk management program. In some cases, we purchase hedges or enter into contracts to insulate our results of operations from these fluctuations. Nevertheless, changes in currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

    If we cannot obtain sufficient quantities of materials, components and equipment required for our manufacturing activities at competitive prices and quality and on a timely basis, or if our manufacturing capacity does not meet demand, our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows may suffer.

        We purchase materials, components and equipment from third parties for use in our manufacturing operations. If we cannot obtain sufficient quantities of these items at competitive prices and quality and on a timely basis, we may not be able to produce sufficient quantities of product to satisfy market demand, product shipments may be delayed or our material or manufacturing costs may increase. In addition, because we cannot always immediately adapt our cost structures to changing market conditions, our manufacturing capacity may at times exceed or fall short of our production requirements. Any of these problems could result in the loss of customers, provide an opportunity for competing products to gain market acceptance and otherwise adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

18


    Divestitures of some of our businesses or product lines may materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

        We continue to evaluate the performance of all of our businesses and may sell businesses or product lines. For example, in July 2007, the Board of Directors approved for divestiture Infrastructure Services. Any divestiture could result in significant asset impairment charges, including those related to goodwill and other intangible assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Divestitures could involve additional risks, including difficulties in the separation of operations, services, products and personnel, the diversion of management's attention from other business concerns, the disruption of our business and the potential loss of key employees. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in managing these or any other significant risks that we encounter in divesting a business or product line.

    We have disclosed a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting relating to our accounting for income taxes which could adversely affect our ability to report our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows accurately and on a timely basis.

        In connection with our assessment of internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting relating to our accounting for income taxes as of September 29, 2006. For a discussion of our internal control over financial reporting and a description of the identified material weakness, see "Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting" under Item 9A, "Controls and Procedures."

        A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have determined that further improvements are required in our tax accounting processes before we can consider the material weakness remediated. Management's procedures and testing identified errors that, although not material to the consolidated financial statements, led management to conclude that control deficiencies exist related to tax effecting consolidating entries, analysis and reconciliation of taxes receivable and taxes payable in non-U.S. jurisdictions, certain aspects of deferred taxes, and procedures with respect to classification of tax amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. As a result of these deficiencies, it is reasonably possible that internal controls over financial reporting may not have prevented or detected errors from occurring that could have been material, either individually or in the aggregate.

        A material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting could adversely impact our ability to provide timely and accurate financial information. While considerable actions have been taken to improve our internal controls in response to the identified material weakness related to certain aspects of accounting for income taxes, and further action steps to strengthen controls have been taken, additional work continues to address and remediate the identified material weakness. If we are unsuccessful in implementing or following our remediation plan, we may not be able to timely or accurately report our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows or maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting. 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 New York Stock Exchange, including a delisting from the New York Stock Exchange, securities litigation, debt rating agency downgrades or rating withdrawals, any one of which could adversely affect the valuation of our common stock and could adversely affect our business prospects.

Risks Relating to Actions of Tyco's Former Senior Corporate Management

    Pending litigation could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition.

        As a result of actions taken by our former senior corporate management, Tyco, some members of our former senior corporate management, former members of our Board of Directors and our former General Counsel are named defendants in a number of purported class actions alleging violations of certain disclosure provisions of the federal securities laws. Tyco, certain of our current and former employees, some members of our former senior corporate management and some former members of our Board of Directors also are named as defendants in several ERISA class actions. On May 14, 2007, we entered into a proposed settlement with respect to most of the class actions and deposited $2.975 billion into an escrow account pending final settlement of such class actions.

        We generally are obligated to indemnify our directors and officers and our former directors and officers who are also named as defendants in some or all of these matters to the extent required by Bermuda law. In addition, our insurance carriers may decline coverage, or our coverage may be insufficient to cover our expenses and liability, in some or all of these matters. We are unable at this time to estimate what our ultimate liability in these matters may be, and it is possible that we will be required to pay judgments or settlements and incur expenses, in excess of any insurance coverage, in aggregate amounts that would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. At this time, we cannot estimate the amount of loss or probable losses, if any, that might result from an adverse resolution of all of these matters or from a failure to consummate the proposed settlement on the agreed terms.

    Continued scrutiny resulting from ongoing governmental investigations may have an adverse effect on our business.

        We and others have received various subpoenas and requests from the SEC, the U.S. Department of Labor, state departments of labor, the General Service Administration and others seeking the production of voluminous documents in connection with various investigations into our governance, management, operations, accounting and related controls. Certain current and former employees in ADT Worldwide received subpoenas from the SEC's Division of Enforcement seeking testimony related to discontinued accounting practices regarding ADT dealer connect fees. The U.S. Department of Labor is investigating Tyco and the administrators of certain of our benefit plans. Similarly, several of our businesses periodically are the subject of state or local government wage and hour investigations. At this time, we cannot predict when these investigations will be completed, nor can we predict what the results of these investigations may be. It is possible that we will be required to pay material fines, consent to injunctions on future conduct, lose the ability to conduct business with governmental instrumentalities, which in turn could negatively impact our business with non-governmental customers, or suffer other penalties or adverse impacts, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. We cannot predict whether the effects and results of these or other investigations will have a material and adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

    Examinations and audits by tax authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service, could result in additional tax payments for prior periods.

        The Company and its subsidiaries' income tax returns periodically are examined by various tax authorities. In connection with these examinations, tax authorities, including the IRS, have raised issues and proposed tax adjustments. We are reviewing and contesting certain of the proposed tax adjustments. Amounts related to these tax adjustments and other tax contingencies and related interest that management has assessed as probable and estimable have been recorded through the income tax provision, equity or goodwill, as appropriate. The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across our global operations. We recognize potential liabilities and record tax liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the United States and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent

20


to which, additional income taxes will be due. These tax liabilities are reflected net of related tax loss carryforwards. We adjust these liabilities in light of changing facts and circumstances. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, however, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the tax liabilities.

        In 2004, in connection with the IRS audit of the 1997 through 2000 years, the Company submitted to the IRS proposed adjustments to these prior period U.S. federal income tax returns resulting in a reduction in the taxable income previously filed. During 2006, the IRS accepted substantially all of the proposed adjustments. Also during 2006, the Company developed proposed amendments to U.S. federal income tax returns for additional periods through 2002. The Company has yet to complete proposed amendments to its U.S. federal income tax returns for periods subsequent to 2002, which will primarily reflect the roll forward through 2006 of the amendments for the periods 1997 to 2002. When the Company's tax return positions are updated additional adjustments may be identified and recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements. While the final adjustments cannot be determined until the income tax return amendment process is completed, the Company believes that any resulting adjustments will not have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

    Material adverse legal judgments, fines, penalties or settlements could adversely affect our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our outstanding indebtedness.

        We estimate that our available cash, our cash flow from operations and amounts available to us under our revolving lines of credit will be adequate to fund our operations and service our debt for the foreseeable future. In making this estimate, we have not assumed the need to make any material payments in connection with pending litigation or investigations. Any material adverse legal judgments, fines, penalties or settlements arising from our pending investigations and litigation could require additional funding. If such developments require us to obtain additional funding, we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to obtain the additional funding that we need on commercially reasonable terms or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

        Such an outcome could have important consequences to you. For example, it could:

    require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, research and development efforts and other general corporate purposes, including debt reduction or dividend payments;

    increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

    limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our businesses and the industries in which we operate;

    restrict our ability to introduce new technologies or exploit business opportunities;

    make it more difficult for us to satisfy our payment obligations with respect to our outstanding indebtedness; and

    increase the difficulty and/or cost to us of refinancing our indebtedness.

    Additional negative publicity may adversely affect our business.

        As a result of actions taken by our former senior corporate management, Tyco was the subject of negative publicity focusing on these actions. This negative publicity contributed to significant declines in the prices of our publicly traded securities in 2002 and brought increased regulatory scrutiny upon us. Additional negative publicity related to former senior corporate management's actions could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows and the market price of our publicly traded securities.

21


    Our senior corporate management team is required to devote significant attention to matters arising from actions of prior management.

        As a result of the actions of prior management, we replaced our senior corporate executives with a new team during 2002 through 2004, and a new Board of Directors was elected at our annual general meeting of shareholders in March 2003. We cannot provide assurance that the distractions related to matters arising from the actions of prior management will not adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Risks Relating to the Separations

    If the distribution of Covidien and Tyco Electronics common shares to our shareholders or certain internal transactions undertaken in connection with the Separation are determined to be taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities.

        We have received private letter rulings from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the distribution of Covidien and Tyco Electronics common shares to our shareholders substantially to the effect that the distribution of such shares, except for cash received in lieu of fractional shares, will qualify as tax-free under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The private letter rulings also provided that certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the Separation would qualify for favorable treatment under the Code. In addition to obtaining the private letter rulings, we have obtained opinions from the law firm of McDermott Will & Emery LLP confirming the tax-free status of the distribution and certain internal transactions. The private letter rulings and the opinions relied on certain facts and assumptions, and certain representations and undertakings, from Tyco, Covidien and Tyco Electronics regarding the past and future conduct of our respective businesses and other matters. Notwithstanding the private letter rulings and the opinions, the Internal Revenue Service could determine on audit that the distribution or the internal transactions should be treated as taxable transactions if it determines that any of these facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings are not correct or have been violated, or that the distributions should be taxable for other reasons, including as a result of significant changes in stock or asset ownership after the distribution. If the distribution ultimately is determined to be taxable, we would recognize gain in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Covidien and Tyco Electronics common shares distributed to our shareholders on June 29, 2007 over our tax basis in such common shares, but such gain, if recognized, generally would not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. However, we would incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities if it ultimately is determined that certain internal transactions undertaken in connection with the Separation should be treated as taxable transactions.

        In addition, under the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement that we have entered into with Covidien and Tyco Electronics in connection with the Separation, in the event the distribution or the internal transactions are determined to be taxable and such determination was the result of actions taken after the Separation by Tyco, Covidien or Tyco Electronics, the party responsible for such failure would be responsible for all taxes imposed on Tyco, Covidien or Tyco Electronics as a result thereof. If such determination is not the result of actions taken after the Separation by Tyco, Covidien or Tyco Electronics, then we, Covidien and Tyco Electronics would be responsible for 27%, 42% and 31%, respectively, of any taxes imposed on us, Covidien or Tyco Electronics as a result of such determination. Such tax amounts could be significant. In the event that any party to the Tax Sharing Agreement defaults in its obligation to pay distribution taxes to another party that arise as a result of no party's fault, each non-defaulting party would be responsible for an equal amount of the defaulting party's obligation to make a payment to another party in respect of such other party's taxes.

22



    We continue to be responsible for a portion of our contingent and other corporate liabilities following the Separation, primarily those relating to shareholder litigation.

        Under the Separation and Distribution Agreement and other agreements, subject to certain exceptions contained in the Tax Sharing Agreement, we, Covidien and Tyco Electronics have agreed to assume and be responsible for 27%, 42% and 31%, respectively, of certain of our contingent and other corporate liabilities. All costs and expenses associated with the management of these contingent and other corporate liabilities will be shared equally among the parties. These contingent and other corporate liabilities primarily relate to consolidated securities litigation and any actions with respect to the separation plan or the Separation brought by any third party. Contingent and other corporate liabilities do not include liabilities that are specifically related to one of the three separated companies, which are allocated 100% to the relevant company.

        If any party responsible for such liabilities were to default in its payment, when due, of any of these assumed obligations, each non-defaulting party would be required to pay equally with any other non-defaulting party the amounts in default. Accordingly, under certain circumstances, we may be obligated to pay amounts in excess of our agreed-upon share of the assumed obligations related to such contingent and other corporate liabilities including associated costs and expenses.

        Many lawsuits are outstanding against Tyco, some of which relate to actions taken by its former senior corporate management. On May 14, 2007, we entered into a proposed settlement with respect to most of the class actions. We do not believe that it is feasible to predict the final outcome or resolution of the unresolved proceedings. Although we will share any costs and expenses arising out of this litigation with Covidien and Tyco Electronics, a failure to consummate the proposed settlement on the agreed terms or an adverse outcome from the unresolved proceedings or liabilities or other proceedings for which we will assume joint and several liability under the Separation and Distribution Agreement could be material with respect to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any given reporting period.

    We share responsibility for certain of our, Covidien's and Tyco Electronics' income tax liabilities for tax periods prior to and including June 29, 2007.

        Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, we share responsibility for certain of our, Covidien's and Tyco Electronics' income tax liabilities based on a sharing formula for periods prior to and including June 29, 2007. More specifically, we, Covidien and Tyco Electronics share 27%, 42% and 31%, respectively, of U.S. income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to our, Covidien's and Tyco Electronics' U.S. income tax returns, certain income tax liabilities arising from adjustments made by tax authorities to intercompany transactions or similar adjustments, and certain taxes attributable to internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the Separation. All costs and expenses associated with the management of these shared tax liabilities will be shared equally among the parties. We are responsible for all of our own taxes that are not shared pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement's sharing formula. In addition, Covidien and Tyco Electronics are responsible for their tax liabilities that are not subject to the Tax Sharing Agreement's sharing formula.

        If any party to the Tax Sharing Agreement were to default in its obligation to another party to pay its share of the distribution taxes that arise as a result of no party's fault, each non-defaulting party would be required to pay, equally with any other non-defaulting party, the amounts in default. In addition, if another party to the Tax Sharing Agreement that is responsible for all or a portion of an income tax liability were to default in its payment of such liability to a taxing authority, we could be legally liable under applicable tax law for such liabilities and required to make additional tax payments. Accordingly, under certain circumstances, we may be obligated to pay amounts in excess of our agreed-upon share of our, Covidien's and Tyco Electronics' tax liabilities.

23



    We might not be able to engage in desirable strategic transactions and equity issuances following the Separation because of restrictions relating to U.S. federal income tax requirements for tax-free distributions.

        Our ability to engage in significant equity transactions could be limited or restricted after Separation in order to preserve for U.S. federal income tax purposes the tax-free nature of the distribution. In addition, similar limitations and restrictions will apply to Covidien and Tyco Electronics. The distribution of common shares of Covidien and Tyco Electronics to our shareholders may result in corporate level taxable gain to us under Section 355(e) of the Code if 50% or more, by vote or value, of our common shares, Covidien's common shares or Tyco Electronics' common shares are acquired or issued as part of a plan or series of related transactions that includes the distribution. For this purpose, any acquisitions or issuances of our common shares within two years before the distribution, and any acquisitions or issuances of our common shares, Covidien's common shares or Tyco Electronics' common shares within two years after the distribution, generally are presumed to be part of such a plan, although we, Covidien or Tyco Electronics may be able to rebut that presumption. We are not aware of any such acquisitions or issuances of our common shares within the two years before the distribution. If an acquisition or issuance of our common shares, Covidien's common shares or Tyco Electronics' common shares triggers the application of Section 355(e) of the Code, we would recognize taxable gain as described above, but such gain generally would not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. However, certain subsidiaries of Covidien or Tyco Electronics or subsidiaries of ours would incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities as a result of the application of Section 355(e) of the Code.

        Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, there are restrictions on our ability to take actions that could cause the distribution or certain internal transactions undertaken in connection with the Separation to fail to qualify as tax-free or tax-favored transactions, as the case maybe, including entering into, approving or allowing any transaction that results in a change in ownership of more than 35% of our common shares, a redemption of equity securities, a sale or other disposition of a substantial portion of our assets, an acquisition of a business or assets with equity securities to the extent one or more persons would acquire 35% or more of our common shares, or engaging in certain internal transactions. These restrictions apply for the two-year period after the distributions, unless we obtain the consent of the other parties or we obtain a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an unqualified opinion of a nationally recognized law firm that such action will not cause the distribution or the internal transactions undertaken in connection with the Separation to fail to qualify as tax-favored transactions and such letter ruling or opinion, as the case may be, is acceptable to the parties. Covidien and Tyco Electronics are subject to similar restrictions under the Tax Sharing Agreement. Moreover, the Tax Sharing Agreement generally provides that a party thereto is responsible for any taxes imposed on any other party thereto as a result of the failure of the distribution or certain internal transactions to qualify as tax-favored transactions under the Code if such failure is attributable to certain post-distribution actions taken by or in respect of the responsible party or its shareholders, regardless of whether the actions occur more than two years after the distribution, the other parties consent to such actions or the responsible party obtains a favorable letter ruling or opinion of tax counsel as described above. For example, we would be responsible for a third party's acquisition of us at a time and in a manner that would cause such failure. These restrictions may prevent us from entering into transactions which might be advantageous to our shareholders and noteholders.

24


    Continuing demands on our management team as a result of the Separation could distract management's attention from operating the business.

        The complexity of the Separation has required and will continue to require a substantial amount of management and operational resources. Our management team must devote continued time and attention to fulfilling Tyco's obligations under the Separation and Distribution Agreement and the Tax Sharing Agreement, including the defense and settlement of litigation related to shared contingent and other corporate liabilities of Tyco, Covidien and Tyco Electronics and the administration of the U.S. tax audit for periods up to June 29, 2007. At the same time, our management team must successfully implement administrative and operational changes necessary to achieve reductions in corporate expense following the Separation. These and related demands on our administrative resources may distract management from the day-to-day operation of Tyco's business. As a result our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows may be adversely affected.

    We may be unable to achieve some or all of the benefits that we expect will be achieved from the Separation.

        We may not be able to achieve the full strategic and financial benefits we expect will result from the separation of two of Tyco's segments into independent companies or such benefits may be delayed or may not occur at all. For example, there can be no assurance that analysts and investors will regard Tyco's post-Separation corporate structure as more clear and simple than its pre-Separation corporate structure or place a greater value on the businesses remaining with Tyco post-Separation than they placed on those businesses pre-Separation.

Risks Related to Corporate Governance

    We are subject to governmental investigations that might have serious consequences.

        We are now, and believe that in light of the current U.S. governmental contracting environment we will continue to be, the subject of one or more U.S. governmental investigations. If we or one of our business units were charged with wrongdoing as a result of any U.S. governmental investigations, including violation of certain environmental or export laws, we could be suspended from bidding on or receiving awards of new U.S. governmental contracts pending the completion of legal proceedings. If convicted or found liable, we could be subject to fines, penalties, repayments and treble and other damages. Any contracts found to be tainted by fraud could be voided by the U.S. government. The U.S. government also reserves the right to prohibit a contractor from receiving new governmental contracts for fraudulent, criminal or other seriously improper conduct. Independently, failure to comply with U.S. laws and regulations related to the export of goods and technology outside the United States could result in civil or criminal penalties and suspension or termination of our export privileges.

Risks Relating to Our Jurisdiction of Incorporation

    Legislation and negative publicity regarding Bermuda companies could affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Legislation Relating to Government Contracts

        We continue to assess the potential impact of various U.S. federal and state legislative proposals that would deny government contracts to U.S. companies that move their corporate location abroad. The legislative proposals could cover the 1997 acquisition of Tyco International Ltd., a Massachusetts corporation, by ADT Limited (a public company that had been located in Bermuda since the 1980's with origins dating back to the United Kingdom since the early 1900's), as a result of which ADT changed its name to Tyco International Ltd. and became the parent to the Tyco group.

25



        We are unable to predict the likelihood or final form in which any such proposed legislation might become law, the nature of regulations that may be promulgated under any future legislative enactments, or the effect such enactments and increased regulatory scrutiny may have on our business.

Negative Publicity

        There is continuing negative publicity regarding, and criticism of, U.S. companies' use of, or relocation to, offshore jurisdictions, including Bermuda. As a Bermuda company, this negative publicity could harm our reputation and impair our ability to generate new business if companies or governmental agencies decline to do business with us as a result of any perceived negative public image of Bermuda companies or the possibility of our customers receiving negative media attention from doing business with a Bermuda company.

    Bermuda law differs from the laws in effect in the United States and may afford less protection to holders of our securities.

        We are organized under the laws of Bermuda. It may not be possible to enforce court judgments obtained in the United States against us in Bermuda based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal or state securities laws. In addition, there is some doubt as to whether the courts of Bermuda would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors or officers based on the civil liabilities provisions of the U.S. federal or state securities laws or hear actions against us or those persons based on those laws. We have been advised that the United States and Bermuda do not currently have a treaty providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any U.S. federal or state court based on civil liability, whether or not based solely on U.S. federal or state securities laws, would not automatically be enforceable in Bermuda.

        As a Bermuda company, Tyco is governed by the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, which differs in some material respects from laws applicable to U.S. companies and shareholders, including, among others, differences relating to interested director and officer transactions, shareholder lawsuits and indemnification. Likewise, the duties of directors and officers of a Bermuda company are generally owed to the company only. Shareholders of Bermuda companies do not generally have a personal right of action against directors or officers of the company and may only exercise such rights of action on behalf of the company in limited circumstances. Under Bermuda law, a company may also agree to indemnify directors and officers for any personal liability, not involving fraud or dishonesty, incurred in relation to the company.


Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

        None.

The group occupies approximately 7 million square feet, of which 5 million square feet are owned and 2 million square feet are leased.

        In the opinion of management, our properties and equipment are in good operating condition and are adequate for our present needs. We do not anticipate difficulty in renewing existing leases as they expire or in finding alternative facilities. See Note 16 to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our lease obligations.

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings

        In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including product liability matters, environmental matters, employment disputes, disputes on agreements and other commercial disputes. In addition, we operate in an industry susceptible to significant patent legal claims. At any given time in the ordinary course of business, we are involved as either a plaintiff or defendant in a number of patent infringement actions. If infringement of a third party's patent were to be determined against us, we might be required to make significant royalty or other payments or might be subject to an injunction or other limitation on our ability to manufacture or sell one or more products. If a patent owned by or licensed to us were determined to be invalid or unenforceable, we might be required to reduce the value of the patent on our balance sheet and to record a corresponding charge, which could be significant in amount.

        In connection with the Separation, we entered into a liability sharing agreement regarding certain class actions that were pending against Tyco prior to the Separation. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, we will manage and control all the legal matters related to assumed contingent liabilities as described in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, including the defense or settlement thereof, subject to certain limitations. A description of the liability sharing provisions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement regarding these class actions can be found in Tyco's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on July 6, 2007.

Securities Class Actions

        As previously reported in our periodic filings, Tyco and certain of our former directors and officers have been named as defendants in over 40 purported securities class action suits. We stipulated, pursuant to a court order, that each party to the Separation and Distribution Agreement would be primarily liable for a portion of the obligations arising from such litigation. The stipulation also

27



provides that if any party defaults on its obligations, the other parties would be jointly and severally liable for those obligations. Most of the securities class actions have now been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings. On January 28, 2003, a consolidated securities class action complaint was filed in these proceedings. On January 7, 2005, the Company answered the plaintiffs' consolidated complaint. On January 14, 2005, lead plaintiffs made a motion for class certification, which the Company opposed on July 22, 2005. On July 5, 2005, the Company moved for revision of the court's October 14, 2004 order in light of a change in law, insofar as the order denied the Company's motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint for failure to plead loss causation. On December 2, 2005, the court denied the Company's motion. On April 4, 2006 plaintiffs filed a partial motion for summary judgment that was denied without prejudice to its later renewal. On June 12, 2006, the court entered an order certifying a class "consisting of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Tyco securities between December 13, 1999 and June 7, 2002, and who were damaged thereby, excluding defendants, all of the officers, directors and partners thereof, members of their immediate families and their legal representatives, heirs, successors or assigns, and any entity in which any of the foregoing have or had a controlling interest." On June 26, 2006, Tyco filed a petition for leave to appeal the class certification order to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. On September 22, 2006, the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit denied Tyco's petition.

Class Action Settlement

        On May 14, 2007, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with plaintiffs' counsel in connection with the settlement of 32 purported securities class action lawsuits. The actions previously had been consolidated and transferred by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire and include Williams v. Tyco International Ltd., Brazen v. Tyco International Ltd., et al., Philip Cirella v. Tyco International Ltd., et al., Hromyak v. Tyco International Ltd., et al., Myers v. Tyco International Ltd., et al., Goldfarb v. Tyco International Ltd., et al., Rappold v. Tyco International Ltd., et al., Mandel v. Tyco International Ltd., et al., and Schuldt v. Tyco International Ltd., et al. and 23 other consolidated securities cases.

        The Memorandum of Understanding does not resolve the following securities cases, which remain outstanding: Stumpf v. Tyco International Ltd., New Jersey v. Tyco International Ltd., et al., Ballard v. Tyco International Ltd., Jasin v. Tyco International Ltd., et al., and Hall v. Kozlowski, et al. The proposed settlement does not release claims arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, 29 U.S.C. Sec. 1001, et seq. ("ERISA"), which are not common to all Class Members, including any claims asserted in Overby, et al. v. Tyco International Ltd., Civil Action No. 02-MD-1357-PB.

        Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, the plaintiffs agreed to release all claims against Tyco, the other settling defendants and ten other individuals in consideration for the payment of $2.975 billion from Tyco to the certified class and assignment to the class of any net recovery of any claims possessed by Tyco and the other settling defendants against Tyco's former auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers. Defendant PricewaterhouseCoopers was not a settling defendant and is not a party to the memorandum. However, PricewaterhouseCoopers subsequently agreed to participate in the settlement as a settling defendant, and in consideration of a release of all claims against it by the parties to the Memorandum of Understanding, agreed to make a payment of $225 million. We and the other settling defendants have denied and continue to deny any wrongdoing and legal liability arising from any of the facts or conduct alleged in the actions.

        Pursuant to the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, L. Dennis Kozlowski, Mark H. Swartz and Frank E. Walsh, Jr., also are excluded from the settling defendants, and the class will assign

28



to Tyco all of their claims against defendants Kozlowski, Swartz and Walsh. In exchange, we will agree to pay to the certified class 50% of any net recovery against these defendants.

        The parties to the Memorandum of Understanding have applied to the court for approval of the settlement agreement. On July 13, 2007, the U. S. District Court in Concord, New Hampshire granted preliminary approval of the settlement. On November 2, 2007, the final fairness hearing for the class settlement was held. The Court indicated it would approve the settlement and stated a formal ruling would be issued in a few weeks. If the settlement agreement does not receive final court approval, the Memorandum of Understanding will be null and void. By December 28, 2007, class participants must file their proofs of claim demonstrating their right to recovery under the class settlement.

        The deadline for deciding not to participate in the class settlement was September 28, 2007. As of such date, Tyco had received opt-out notices from individuals and entities totaling approximately 4% of the shares owned by class members. These individuals and entities may pursue their claims separately against Tyco and any judgments resulting from such claims would not reduce the settlement amount. One entity, Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC, has filed a complaint against Tyco on September 24, 2007 in an action styled Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC v. Tyco International Ltd. in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging violations of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 77(b), Section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 78(b), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 78(k) in connection with the plaintiffs' purchases and sales of Tyco securities between June 4, 2001 and April 30, 2002. The plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory damages and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. Tyco has requested that this action be transferred to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. Tyco intends to vigorously defend this litigation. It is not possible at this time to predict the final outcome or to estimate the amount of loss or range of possible loss, if any, that might result from an adverse resolution of the Franklin matter or other unasserted claims from individuals that have opted-out.

        Under the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement entered into in connection with the Separation, each of Tyco, Covidien and Tyco Electronics are jointly and severally liable for the full amount of the class action settlement and any judgments resulting from opt-out claims. Additionally, under the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the companies will share in the liability and related escrow accounts, with Tyco assuming 27%, Covidien 42% and Tyco Electronics 31% of the settlement amount.

        Tyco incurred a charge to expense, for which no tax benefit is available, and a current liability of $2.975 billion in 2007. The Company has also recovered or expects to recover certain of these costs from insurers. As such, the Company recorded $113 million of recoveries in connection with the class action settlement in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. Tyco borrowed under its unsecured bridge and credit facilities to fund the liability and placed the proceeds in escrow for the benefit of the class. In connection with the Separation, Covidien and Tyco Electronics assumed their portion of the related borrowing. The escrow accounts will earn interest that is payable to the class. Interest is also accrued on the class action settlement liability. Based on the Separation and Distribution Agreement, at September 28, 2007, Tyco had a receivable from Covidien and Tyco Electronics for their portion of the liability of $1,257 million and $927 million, respectively, and a payable to Covidien and Tyco Electronics for their interest in the escrow accounts. Receivables and payables that pertain to the class action settlement and related escrow accounts with the same counterparty are presented net in the consolidated balance sheet. Tyco's portion of the liability is $808 million. Additionally, Tyco has paid $73 million and recorded payables of $9 million at September 28, 2007, with an offset to shareholders' equity for amounts due to Covidien and Tyco Electronics for their portion of the insurance recovery.

        If the proposed settlement were not consummated on the agreed terms or if the unresolved proceedings were to be determined adversely to Tyco, it is possible that the Company will be required

29



to pay judgments or settlements and incur expenses, in excess of any insurance coverage, in aggregate amounts that would have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. At this time, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or probable losses, if any, that might result from an adverse resolution of these matters.

Securities Class Action Proceedings

        As previously reported in our periodic filings, an action entitled Hess v. Tyco International Ltd., et al., was filed on June 3, 2004 in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles against certain of our former directors and officers, our former auditors and Tyco. The complaint asserts claims of fraud, negligent representation, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference with fiduciary relationship and conspiracy arising out of an underlying settlement of litigation brought by shareholders in Progressive Angioplasty Systems, Inc. where the plaintiffs received our stock as consideration. The claim seeks unspecified monetary damages and other relief. On October 25, 2006, the Court lifted its previous order staying the case during the pendency of a related arbitration to which Tyco was not a party. On December 26, 2006, Tyco filed a demurrer seeking dismissal of the action on the ground that the complaint failed to allege facts sufficient to state causes of action. Before argument could be heard on the demurrer, the plaintiffs notified the Court that they would file an amended complaint. The amended complaint was filed on July 9, 2007. The amended complaint asserts claims of fraud, negligent representation, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of fiduciary duty in connection with, and subsequent to, an underlying settlement of litigation brought by shareholders in Progressive Angioplasty Systems, Inc. where the plaintiffs received our stock as consideration. The amended complaint alleges collective losses of not less than $20 million and seeks compensatory and punitive damages. On September 13, 2007, Tyco filed its answer to the complaint. The parties have also begun to engage in discovery, serving document requests and interrogatories.

        As previously reported in our periodic filings, on October 30, 2003, Stumpf v. Tyco International Ltd. was transferred to the District Court of New Hampshire by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. The complaint asserts claims against Tyco based on Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 77(k), Section 15 of the Securities Act, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 77(o), Section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 78j(b), and Sec. 20(a) of the Exchange Act, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 78t(a). In orders dated September 2, 2005 and January 6, 2005, the Court denied Tyco's motion to dismiss. On June 12, 2007, the Court certified a purported class consisting of "all persons or entities who purchased TyCom stock, either pursuant to a July 26, 2000, Registration Statement and Prospectus for TyCom's initial public offering, or on the open market between July 26, 2000 and December 17, 2001." On June 26, 2007, Tyco and TyCom filed a Rule 23(f) Petition seeking leave to appeal the class certification order. On September 13, 2007, the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit denied Tyco's petition.

        As previously reported in our periodic filings, on November 27, 2002 the State of New Jersey, on behalf of several state pension funds, filed a complaint, New Jersey v. Tyco International Ltd., et al., in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against Tyco, our former auditors and certain of our former officers and directors. The complaint was amended on February 11, 2005. As against all defendants, the amended complaint asserts causes of action under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, for common law fraud, aiding and abetting common law fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud and negligent misrepresentation. Claims are asserted against the individual defendants under Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 24(d) of the New Jersey Uniform Securities Law, Section 421-B:25(III) of the New Hampshire Uniform Securities Law, and for breaches of fiduciary duties. Claims are also asserted against certain of the individual defendants under Section 20A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and for violation of the New Jersey RICO statute;

30



against Tyco under Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 24(c) of the New Jersey Uniform Securities Law, Section 421-B:25(II) of the New Hampshire Uniform Securities Law, and for violation of, aiding and abetting violation of, and vicarious liability under the New Jersey RICO statute; against Tyco and certain of the individual defendants under Section 14(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder, and for conspiracy to violate the New Jersey RICO statute; against Tyco, its former auditors, and certain of the individual defendants under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, and for violation of, and conspiracy to violate the New Jersey RICO statute; and against our former auditors and certain of the individual defendants for aiding and abetting violation of the New Jersey RICO statute. Finally, claims are asserted against the individual defendants and our former auditors for aiding and abetting the individual defendants' breaches of fiduciary duties. Plaintiffs assert that the defendants violated the securities laws and otherwise engaged in fraudulent acts by making materially false and misleading statements and omissions concerning, among other things, the following: unauthorized and improper compensation of certain of our former executives; their improper use of our funds for personal benefit and their improper self-dealing in real estate. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief. On June 10, 2005, Tyco moved to dismiss in part the amended complaint. On June 11, 2007, the court granted in part and denied in part Tyco's motion to dismiss. Many of the above plaintiffs' claims remain pending. On July 24, 2007, the plaintiffs moved for leave to amend their complaint again. Tyco responded in opposition to the motion on August 10, 2007, and the court has not yet ruled on the plaintiffs' motion.

        As previously reported in our periodic filings, the Company appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit the decision of the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire to remand Brazen v. Tyco International Ltd., et al. to the Circuit Court for Cook County, Illinois and Hromyak v. Tyco International Ltd., et al., Goldfarb v. Tyco International Ltd., et al., Mandel v. Tyco International Ltd., et al., Myers v. Tyco International Ltd., et al., Rappold v. Tyco International Ltd., et al., and Schuldt v. Tyco International Ltd., et al. to the Circuit Court for Palm Beach County, Florida. Plaintiffs moved to dismiss the Company's appeal. On December 29, 2004, the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit granted plaintiffs' motion and dismissed the Company's appeal. The Company moved in the Circuit Court for Palm Beach County, Florida to stay and to strike the class allegations in Goldfarb, Mandel, Myers, Rappold, and Schuldt. The Circuit Court granted Tyco's motion to dismiss Hromyak. The Florida District Court of Appeal affirmed the dismissal. These cases were included in the proposed settlement of the Securities Class Action, which is contingent upon these cases being dismissed.

        As previously reported in our periodic filings, after filing an initial complaint on June 26, 2002, plaintiff Lionel I. Brazen filed an amended class action complaint, on March 10, 2005, in the Circuit Court for Cook County, Illinois purporting to represent a class of purchasers who exchanged shares of Mallinckrodt, Inc. common stock for shares of Tyco common stock pursuant to the Joint Proxy Statement and Prospectus, and the Registration Statement in which it was included, in connection with the October 17, 2000 merger of Tyco and Mallinckrodt, Inc. Plaintiff names as defendants Tyco International Ltd., and certain former Tyco executives and asserts causes of action under Section 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. The amended class action complaint alleges that the defendants made statements in the Registration Statement and the Joint Proxy Statement and Prospectus that were materially false and misleading and failed to disclose material adverse facts regarding the business and operations of Tyco. The amended class action complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages and other relief. On April 21, 2005, the Company moved in the Circuit Court for Cook County, Illinois to dismiss or stay or, in the alternative, to strike the class allegations. On July 22, 2005, the Court denied the Company's motion. On August 19, 2005, Tyco filed an interlocutory appeal of the Circuit Court for Cook County Illinois' July 22, 2005 memorandum and order, which was subsequently denied. On January 6, 2006, the plaintiff, joined by an additional named plaintiff Nancy Hammerslough, filed a renewed motion for class certification which was granted. On February 14, 2006, Tyco filed its answer to the complaint. On July 5, 2006, plaintiffs filed a partial motion for summary

31



judgment which was denied on November 8, 2006. On November 22, 2006, plaintiffs filed a motion to reconsider the denial of their motion for summary judgment. On January 25, 2007, the Court denied plaintiffs' motion to reconsider. This case was included in the proposed settlement of the Securities Class Action, which settlement is contingent upon this case being dismissed.

        As previously reported in our periodic filings, on April 29, 2005, an action was filed against Tyco in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Stevenson v. Tyco International Ltd., et al. Plaintiff named as additional defendants our current Chief Executive Officer, Edward Breen, our former Chief Financial Officer, David FitzPatrick, our former Executive Vice President and General Counsel, William Lytton, current members of Tyco's Board of Directors including Dennis Blair, Bruce Gordon, John Krol, Carl McCall, Mackey McDonald, Brendan O'Neill, Sandra Wijnberg, and Jerome York, as well as former members of Tyco's Board of Directors, including Michael Ashcroft, Joshua Berman, Richard Bodman, John Fort, Steven Foss, Wendy Lane, James Pasman, Peter Slusser and Joseph Welch. The complaint asserts causes of action under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint alleged that defendants made material misrepresentations that resulted in artificially deflated stock prices. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred the action to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. On March 31, 2007, Tyco filed a motion to dismiss the complaint and the Court granted the motion to dismiss on June 13, 2007.

        On January 31, 2003 a civil action was filed by three plaintiffs in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, Cirella v. Tyco International et al. Plaintiff named as defendants Tyco International Ltd., Dennis Kozlowski, Mark H. Swartz and Mark A. Belnick. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has transferred the action to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. This case was included in the proposed settlement of the Securities Class Action, which is contingent upon the case being dismissed.

        As previously reported in our periodic filings, on January 20, 2004, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Ballard v. Tyco International Ltd., et al. Plaintiffs are trustees of various trusts that were allegedly major shareholders of AMP, Inc., a company acquired by Tyco in April 1999. Plaintiffs name as defendants Tyco, five of its former officers and directors and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PWC"). As against all defendants, the complaint asserts causes of action under Sections 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933. As against the Tyco defendants, the complaint asserts causes of action under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder; Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act; and for common law fraud and negligent misrepresentation. As against the individual defendants, the complaint asserts causes of action under Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and Section 15 of the Securities Act. The complaint alleges that defendants engaged in a scheme to artificially inflate Tyco's earnings and to mislead investors as to Tyco's positive earnings, growth and acquisition synergies prior to and in connection with its acquisition of AMP, Inc. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred the action to the District of New Hampshire. Tyco moved to dismiss the complaint, and that motion was denied. On August 5, 2005, defendant Michael A. Ashcroft's motion to dismiss with respect to the plaintiffs' claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, Section 15 of the Securities Act, and common law fraud and negligent misrepresentation claims was granted.

        As previously reported in our periodic filings, a complaint, Sciallo v. Tyco International Ltd., et al., was filed on September 30, 2003 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs purport to be former executives of U.S. Surgical who traded their U.S. Surgical stock options for Tyco International, Ltd. stock options when Tyco acquired U.S. Surgical on October 1, 1998. Plaintiffs name as defendants Tyco International Ltd. and certain former Tyco directors and executives. The complaint asserts causes of action under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, for common law fraud and negligence, and violation

32



of New York General Business Law Section 349, which prohibits deceptive acts and practices in the conduct of any business. The complaint alleges that defendants made materially false and misleading statements and omissions concerning, among other things, Tyco's financial condition and accounting practices. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has transferred this action to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire.

        As previously reported in our periodic filings, a complaint was filed on September 2, 2004 in the Court of Common Pleas for Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, Jasin v. Tyco International Ltd., et al. This pro se plaintiff named as additional defendants Tyco International (US) Inc., L. Dennis Kozlowski, our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mark H. Swartz, our former Chief Financial Officer and Director and Juergen W. Gromer, President of Tyco Electronics. Plaintiff's complaint asserts causes of action under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, as well as Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933. Claims against Messrs. Kozlowski, Swartz and Gromer are also asserted under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder and Section 20A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. Plaintiff also asserts common law fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unfair trade practice, breach of contract, breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing and violation of Section 1-402 of the Pennsylvania Securities Act of 1972. Tyco has removed the complaint to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred this action to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire.

        As previously reported in our periodic filings, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation was notified that Hall v. Kozlowski, et al. an action relating to plaintiff's employment, 401(k) and pension plans and ownership of Tyco stock, may be an action that should be transferred to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. Thereafter, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred the action to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. On March 16, 2005, Tyco International (US) Inc. answered plaintiff's amended complaint.

        As previously reported in our periodic filings, plaintiff moved to remand Davis v. Kozlowski et al., an action originally filed on December 9, 2003, from the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire back to the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. On March 17, 2005, the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire granted plaintiff's motion to remand and denied defendants' motion to dismiss. On March 31, 2005, the Company moved for reconsideration of the Court's remand order. On July 17, 2006, the Court entered an order granting Tyco's motion to dismiss on the grounds that all of plaintiff's claims were preempted by federal law. The motion to dismiss was granted without prejudice to plaintiff's right to file another action in state court asserting claims that are not preempted by federal law. On January 8, 2007, plaintiff filed an action in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages and other relief. On January 12, 2007, Tyco removed the re-filed action to federal court in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. On February 1, 2007, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) issued a conditional transfer order transferring the case to the District of New Hampshire. Plaintiffs filed a motion to remand the case to state court on February 12, 2007 and moved the JPML to vacate the conditional transfer order on March 9, 2007. We filed an opposition to the motion to vacate on March 29, 2007. On March 15, 2007, we filed an opposition to plaintiff's remand motion and filed a cross-motion to dismiss the action. Briefing on the cross-motion was completed on April 26, 2007. On May 31, 2007, the JPML denied the motion to vacate the conditional transfer order. On June 15, 2007 the JPML transferred the case back to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. On October 16, 2007, Tyco filed its renewed cross-motion to dismiss the action.

Shareholder Derivative Litigation

        As previously reported in our periodic filings, an action was filed on June 7, 2002 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Levin v. Kozlowski, alleging that the individually named defendants breached their fiduciary duties, committed waste and mismanagement and engaged in self-dealing in connection with Tyco's accounting practices, individual board members' use of funds, and the financial disclosures of certain mergers and acquisitions. It is further alleged that certain of the individual defendants converted corporate assets for their own use. Plaintiffs seek money damages. Plaintiffs agreed to stay that action pending the resolution of the federal derivative action, which was dismissed by the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire on October 14, 2004; and the appeal from that ruling was voluntarily dismissed on May 19, 2005. On June 14, 2005, the plaintiffs resumed the Levin action. On September 22, 2005, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the derivative complaint. On November 14, 2006, the Supreme Court of the State of New York dismissed the complaint with prejudice. On December 11, 2006, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of the Court's November 14, 2006 order dismissing the complaint. On October 25, 2007, the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Appellate Division, First Department, heard oral arguments in this action and on November 15, 2007, the Court denied the plaintiff's appeal.

ERISA Litigation

        As previously reported in our periodic filings, Tyco and certain of our current and former employees, officers and directors, have been named as defendants in eight class actions brought under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"). Two of the actions were filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire and the six remaining actions were transferred to that Court by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. All eight actions have been consolidated in the District Court in New Hampshire. The consolidated complaint purports to bring claims on behalf of our Retirement Savings and Investment Plans and the participants therein and alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties under ERISA by negligently misrepresenting and negligently failing to disclose material information concerning, among other things, the following: related-party transactions and executive compensation; our mergers and acquisitions and the accounting therefor, as well as allegedly undisclosed acquisitions; and misstatements of our financial results. The complaint also asserts that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by allowing the Plans to invest in our shares when it was not a prudent investment. The complaints seek recovery of alleged plan losses arising from alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. On January 12, 2005, the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire denied, without prejudice, the Company's motion to dismiss certain additional individual defendants from the action. On January 20, 2005, Plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification. On January 27, 2005, the Company answered the plaintiffs' consolidated complaint. Also, on January 28, 2005, the Company and certain individual defendants filed a motion for reconsideration of the Court's January 12, 2005 order, insofar as it related to our Retirement Committee. On May 25, 2005, the Court denied the motion for reconsideration. On July 11, 2005, the Company and certain individual defendants opposed plaintiffs' motion for class certification. On August 15, 2006, the Court entered an order certifying a class "consisting of all Participants in the Plans for whose individual accounts the Plans purchased and/or held shares of Tyco Stock Fund at any time from August 12, 1998 to July 25, 2002." On August 29, 2006, Tyco filed a petition for leave to appeal the class certification order to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. On November 13, 2006, the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit denied Tyco's petition. On November 28, 2006, plaintiffs filed a motion seeking an order directing them to serve notice of the ERISA class action on potential class members. Tyco did not object to service of notice on potential class members, and on January 11, 2007, plaintiffs filed a motion, assented to by Tyco that proposed an agreed upon form of notice. On January 18, 2007, the Court granted that motion. On December 5, 2006, plaintiffs filed a motion seeking leave to file an amended complaint. Subsequently, on January 10, 2007, plaintiffs filed a motion to withdraw their motion to amend the complaint without prejudice.

ERISA Partial Withdrawal Liability Assessment and Demand

        On June 8, 2007, SimplexGrinnell received a notice alleging that it had partially withdrawn from the National Automatic Sprinkler Industry Pension Fund (the "Fund"). Under Title IV of ERISA, if the Fund can prove that an employer completely or partially withdraws from a multi-employer pension plan such as the Fund, the employer is liable for withdrawal liability equal to its proportionate share of the plan's unfunded vested benefits. The alleged withdrawal results from a 1994 labor dispute between Grinnell Fire Protection Systems, SimplexGrinnell's predecessor, and Road Sprinkler Fitters Local Union No. 669.

        ERISA requires that payment of withdrawal liability be made in full or in quarterly installments commencing upon receipt of a liability assessment from the plan. A plan's assessment of withdrawal liability generally may be challenged only in arbitration, and ERISA requires that quarterly payments must continue to be made during the pendency of the arbitration. If the employer prevails in arbitration (and any subsequent court appeals), its quarterly withdrawal liability payments are refunded with interest. The Fund's total withdrawal liability assessment against SimplexGrinnell is approximately $25 million, and the quarterly withdrawal liability payments are $1.1 million commencing on August 1, 2007. SimplexGrinnell believes that it has strong arguments that no withdrawal liability is owed to the Fund, and it plans to vigorously defend against the Fund's withdrawal liability assessment by timely filing for arbitration. Accordingly, the Company has made no provision for this contingency in its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Tyco Litigation Against Former Senior Management

        Tyco International Ltd. v. L. Dennis Kozlowski, United States District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 02-CV-7317, filed September 12, 2002, Amended April 1, 2003. As previously reported in our periodic filings, we filed a civil complaint against our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for breach of fiduciary duty and other wrongful conduct. The Company amended that complaint on April 1, 2003. The amended complaint alleges that the defendant misappropriated millions of dollars from our Key Employee Loan Program and relocation program; awarded millions of dollars in unauthorized bonuses to himself and certain other Tyco employees; engaged in improper self-dealing real estate transactions involving our assets; and conspired with certain other former Tyco employees in committing these acts. The amended complaint alleges causes of action for breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, unjust enrichment, breach of contract, conversion, constructive trust, and other wrongful conduct. The amended complaint seeks recovery for all of the losses suffered by us as a result of the former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer's conduct, and of all remuneration, including restricted and unrestricted shares and options, obtained by Mr. Kozlowski during the course of this conduct. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred this action to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. On October 6, 2003, Mr. Kozlowski filed a motion to dismiss or stay the case and compel arbitration, which was denied on March 16, 2004, with one exception relating to the arbitration of a claim asserting the fraudulent inducement of Mr. Kozlowski's retention agreement. On April 9, 2004, Mr. Kozlowski filed an Answer, Affirmative Defenses and Counterclaims, seeking amounts allegedly due pursuant to his purported retention agreement, life insurance policies, and other arrangements. Tyco filed its Reply to the Counterclaims on April 29, 2004. Discovery in this and the other affirmative cases is proceeding.

        Mr. Kozlowski was tried on criminal charges in New York County. The first criminal trial resulted in a mistrial declared on April 2, 2004. The retrial of Mr. Kozlowski began on January 18, 2005 and concluded on June 17, 2005, when the jury returned verdicts. Of the thirty-one counts submitted to it, which were similar to certain of the claims alleged in the Company's affirmative action described above, twenty-two were against Mr. Kozlowski. The jury found Mr. Kozlowski guilty on all charges of grand larceny, conspiracy and securities fraud, and all but one count of falsification of business records. On September 19, 2005, Mr. Kozlowski was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of eight and one-third

35



years to twenty-five years, and ordered to pay an individual fine of $70 million and restitution, jointly and severally with Mr. Swartz, to Tyco of $134 million within one year. On September 19, 2005, Mr. Kozlowski filed a notice of appeal from his conviction and on October 3, 2006 filed a brief in support of his appeal. On January 2, 2007, by order of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, the New York County District Attorney's office released to Tyco, on behalf of Mr. Kozlowski, $98 million in restitution. The payment by Mr. Kozlowski was made pending the outcome of his appeal, which was denied on November 15, 2007.

        Tyco International Ltd. v. Mark H. Swartz, United States District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 03-CV-2247 (TPG), filed April 1, 2003. As previously reported in our periodic filings, we filed an arbitration claim against Mark H. Swartz, our former Chief Financial Officer and director, on October 7, 2002. As a consequence of Mr. Swartz's refusal to submit to the jurisdiction of the American Arbitration Association, we filed a civil complaint against him on April 1, 2003, for breach of fiduciary duty and other wrongful conduct. The action alleges that the defendant misappropriated millions of dollars from our Key Employees Loan Program and relocation program; approved and implemented awards of millions of dollars of unauthorized bonuses to himself and certain other Tyco employees; awarded millions of dollars in unauthorized payments to himself; engaged in improper self dealing real estate transactions involving our assets; and conspired with certain other former Tyco employees in committing these acts. The complaint alleges causes of action for breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, unjust enrichment, conversion, and constructive trust, and other wrongful conduct. The action seeks recovery for all of the losses suffered by us as a result of the former Chief Financial Officer and director's conduct, and all remuneration, including restricted and unrestricted shares and options, obtained by Mr. Swartz during the course of this conduct. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred this action to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. Mr. Swartz moved to dismiss Tyco's complaint and to compel arbitration of the parties' respective claims. The court denied Swartz's motion and he has appealed the court's decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. His appeal was heard on December 8, 2004. The First Circuit affirmed the District Court's decision on September 7, 2005. Discovery in this and the other affirmative cases is proceeding.

        Mr. Swartz was tried on criminal charges in New York County. The first criminal trial resulted in a mistrial declared on April 2, 2004. The retrial of Mr. Swartz began on January 18, 2005 and concluded on June 17, 2005, when the jury returned verdicts. Of the thirty-one counts submitted to it, which were similar to certain of the claims alleged in the Company's affirmative action described above, twenty-three were against Mr. Swartz. The jury found Mr. Swartz guilty on all charges of grand larceny, conspiracy and securities fraud, and all but one count of falsification of business records. On September 19, 2005, Mr. Swartz was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of eight and one-third years to twenty-five years, and ordered to pay an individual fine of $35 million and restitution, jointly and severally with Mr. Kozlowski, to Tyco of $134 million within one year and Mr. Swartz was ordered individually to pay damages to Tyco in the amount of $1 million. On September 19, 2005, Mr. Swartz filed a notice of appeal from his conviction and on October 3, 2006 filed a brief in support of his appeal. On October 27, 2006, Mr. Swartz paid restitution to the Company in the amount of $38 million. The payment by Mr. Swartz was made pending the outcome of his appeal, which was denied on November 15, 2007.

        Tyco International Ltd. v. L. Dennis Kozlowski and Mark H. Swartz, United States District Court Southern District of New York, No. 02-CV-9705, filed December 6, 2002. As previously reported in our periodic filings, we filed a civil complaint against our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer and Director pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 for disgorgement of short-swing profits from prohibited transactions in our common shares believed to exceed $40 million. The action seeks disgorgement of profits, interest, attorney's fees and costs. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has transferred this action to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. On October 6, 2003, Messrs. Kozlowski and Swartz

36



moved to dismiss the claims against them based upon the statute of limitations. On March 16, 2004, the District Court for the District of New Hampshire granted the defendants' motion to dismiss in part with leave for Tyco to file an amended complaint. Tyco filed an amended complaint on May 14, 2004. The defendants moved to dismiss certain claims in the amended complaint on June 28, 2004. The defendants' motion to dismiss was denied on April 21, 2005. The defendants' motion to extend time to answer the complaint until thirty days after the conclusion of deliberations in the criminal trial was granted on May 17, 2005. Both defendants filed their answers on July 18, 2005. Discovery in this and the other affirmative cases is proceeding.

        Tyco International Ltd. v. Frank E. Walsh, Jr., United States District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 02-CV-4633, filed June 17, 2002. As previously reported in our periodic filings, we filed a civil complaint against Frank E. Walsh, Jr., a former director, for breach of fiduciary duty and related wrongful conduct involving receipt by Mr. Walsh of a $20 million payment in connection with our 2001 acquisition of the CIT Group, Inc. The action alleges causes of action for restitution, breach of fiduciary duty and inducing breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, unjust enrichment, and a constructive trust, and seeks recovery for all of the losses suffered by us as a result of the defendant director's conduct. On December 17, 2002, Mr. Walsh paid $20 million in restitution to Tyco, which was deposited by the Company in January 2003, as a result of a plea bargain agreement with the New York County District Attorney. Our claims against Mr. Walsh are still pending. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred this action to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. Discovery in this and the other affirmative cases is proceeding.

Subpoenas and Document Requests From Governmental Entities

        As previously reported in our periodic filings, we and others have received various subpoenas and requests from the SEC, the U.S. Department of Labor, state departments of labor, the General Service Administration and others seeking the production of voluminous documents in connection with various investigations into our governance, management, operations, accounting and related controls. We are cooperating with these investigations and are complying with these requests.

        Certain of our current and former employees received subpoenas from the SEC's Division of Enforcement seeking testimony related to past accounting practices for the ADT dealer connect fees. The investigation, which began in June 2002, related to accounting practices employed by our former management. As previously reported in our periodic filings, these practices have been discontinued.

        As previously reported in our periodic filings, in November 2004, we received an order from the SEC to report facts and circumstances involving our participation, if any, in the United Nations Oil for Food Program governing sales of Iraqi oil. On January 10, 2005 and November 8, 2005, we responded to the order and provided information concerning transactions under the United Nations Oil for Food Program. On January 31, 2006, we received a subpoena from the SEC to produce additional documents and information related to the participation of three of our businesses in the United Nations Oil for Food Program. The SEC notified us on June 7, 2006 that it was not recommending any enforcement action against Tyco in connection with its investigation of the United Nations Oil for Food Program. Recently, we have discovered additional product sales that may be responsive to the SEC's order and have notified the SEC staff that we intend to investigate these transactions. While it is not possible at this time to predict the final outcome of this matter, we do not believe this discovery will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        The U.S. Department of Labor served document subpoenas on Tyco and Fidelity Management Trust Company for documents concerning the administration of our Retirement Savings and Investment Plans. The current focus of the Department's inquiry concerns the losses allegedly experienced by the plans due to investments in our stock. The Department of Labor has authority to bring suit on behalf of the plans and their participants against those acting as fiduciaries to the plans for recovery of losses and additional penalties, although it has not informed us of any intention to do so. The Company is continuing to cooperate with the Department's investigation.

37


        As previously reported in our periodic filings, on January 27, 2006, we received from the New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice Office of the Attorney General a subpoena to produce documents concerning, among other things, former employees, the use of certain chemicals, and the filing of reports under state and federal environmental reporting laws at the same New Jersey facility sold by Tyco in 2000. The subpoena seeks information for the period from January 1987 to December 2000. We have provided information in response to the subpoena and discussed the matter with the agency. At this time, we cannot predict the outcome of this matter and therefore cannot estimate the range of potential loss or extent of risk, if any, that may result from an adverse resolution. Tyco continues to cooperate fully with the investigators.

Environmental Matters

        Tyco is involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to environmental remediation matters at a number of sites. The ultimate cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and alternative cleanup methods. As of September 28, 2007, Tyco concluded that it was probable that it would incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $36 million to $63 million. As of September 28, 2007, Tyco concluded that the best estimate within this range is approximately $40 million, of which $11 million is included in accrued and other current liabilities and $29 million is included in other liabilities on Tyco's Consolidated Balance Sheets. In view of the Company's financial position and reserves for environmental matters, the Company believes that any potential payment of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Asbestos Matters

        As previously reported in its periodic filings, Tyco and some of its subsidiaries and certain subsidiaries of Covidien are named as defendants in personal injury lawsuits based on alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Covidien has assumed all liabilities for pending cases filed against its subsidiaries. Each case typically names between dozens to hundreds of corporate defendants. The complaints generally seek monetary damages for personal injury or bodily injury resulting from alleged exposure to products containing asbestos. The Company will continue to vigorously defend these lawsuits and the Company has not suffered an adverse verdict in a trial court proceeding related to asbestos claims. When appropriate, the Company settles claims. However, the total amount paid in any year to settle and defend all asbestos claims has been immaterial. As of September 28, 2007 there were approximately 5,600 asbestos liability cases pending against the Company and its subsidiaries.

Income Tax Matters

        During the third quarter of 2007, the IRS concluded its field examination of certain of Tyco's U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 1997 through 2000 and issued anticipated Revenue Agents' Reports ("RARs") which reflect the IRS' determination of proposed tax adjustments for the periods under audit. The RARs propose tax audit adjustments to certain of the Company's previously filed tax return positions, all of which the Company expected and previously assessed at each balance sheet date. Accordingly, the Company has made no additional provision during the year ended September 28, 2007 as a result of the proposed audit adjustments in the RARs.

        The Company has agreed with the IRS on adjustments totaling $498 million, with an estimated cash impact to the Company of $458 million, and during the third quarter of 2007, the Company paid $458 million, of which $163 million relates to the Company's discontinued operations. The Company appealed other proposed tax audit adjustments totaling approximately $1 billion, and, as Audit Managing Party as specified in the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Company intends to vigorously defend

38



its prior filed tax return positions. The Company continues to believe that the amounts recorded in its financial statements relating to these tax adjustments are sufficient. However, the ultimate resolution of these matters is uncertain and could result in a material impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, ultimate resolution of these matters could result in the Company filing amended U.S. federal income tax returns for years subsequent to the current 1997 to 2000 audit period and could have a material impact on the Company's effective tax rate in future reporting periods.

        Additionally, the IRS proposed civil fraud penalties against a prior subsidiary that was distributed to Tyco Electronics arising from alleged actions of former executives in connection with certain intercompany transfers of stock of Simplex Technologies in 1998 and 1999. Based on statutory guidelines, we estimate the proposed penalties could range between $30 million and $50 million. The Company as Audit Managing Party will vigorously oppose the assertion of such penalties against Tyco Electronics, in part, because beginning in 2003 the Company discovered, investigated and reported the conduct at issue to the IRS and fully cooperated in the criminal prosecution of the Company's former Chief Tax Officer on a charge of willful filing of a false tax return.

Compliance Matters

        As previously reported in our periodic filings, we have received and responded to various allegations and other information that certain improper payments were made by our subsidiaries in recent years. As previously reported, we have been informed that two subsidiaries in our Flow Control business in Italy have been named in a request for criminal charges filed by the Milan public prosecutor's office. We have reported to the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") and the SEC the investigative steps and remedial measures that we have taken in response to the allegations. We also informed the DOJ and the SEC that we retained outside counsel to perform a company-wide baseline review of our policies, controls and practices with respect to compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"), that we would continue to make periodic progress reports to these agencies, and that we would present our factual findings upon conclusion of the baseline review. We have and will continue to communicate with the DOJ and SEC to provide updates on the baseline review being conducted by outside counsel, including, as appropriate, briefings concerning additional instances of potential improper payments identified by us in the course of our ongoing compliance activities. Covidien and Tyco Electronics agreed, in connection with the Separation, to cooperate with the Company in its response to these allegations. To date, the baseline review has revealed that some business practices may not comply with Tyco and FCPA requirements. At this time, we cannot predict the outcome of these matters and other allegations reported to regulatory and law enforcement authorities and therefore cannot estimate the range of potential loss or extent of risk, if any, that may result from an adverse resolution of these matters. However, it is possible that we may be required to pay judgments, suffer penalties or incur settlements in amounts that may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        Any judgment required to be paid or settlement or other cost incurred by Tyco in connection with these matters would be subject to the liability sharing provisions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, which assigned liabilities primarily related to the former Healthcare and Electronics businesses of Tyco to Covidien or Tyco Electronics, respectively, and provides that Tyco will retain liabilities primarily related to its continuing operations. Any liabilities not primarily related to a particular segment will be shared equally among Tyco, Covidien and Tyco Electronics.

        The German Federal Cartel Office ("FCO") charged that certain German subsidiaries in Tyco's Flow Control business have engaged in anti-competitive practices, in particular with regard to its hydrant, valve, street box and fittings business. Tyco investigated this matter and determined that the conduct may have violated German anti-trust-law. Tyco is cooperating with the FCO in its investigation of this violation. Tyco cannot estimate the range of potential loss that may result from this violation. It

39



is possible that the Company may be subject to civil or criminal proceedings and may be required to pay judgments, suffer penalties or incur settlements in amounts that may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Indenture Trustee Litigation

        On June 4, 2007, The Bank of New York ("BONY"), as indenture trustee under the indentures dated as of June 9, 1998 and November 12, 2003, of Tyco International Group S.A. ("TIGSA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tyco, commenced an action against TIGSA and Tyco in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. BONY served an amended complaint on October 18, 2007, which added Tyco International Finance S.A. ("TIFSA") as an additional defendant. As amended, the complaint alleges that the Separation breached the indentures and seeks damages on behalf of noteholders in excess of $4.1 billion, consisting of principal plus accrued interest on the notes issued under the indentures, plus a "make-whole" amount payable under the indentures in the event of early redemption of the notes. The amended complaint also seeks a judgment declaring that BONY was not required to sign supplemental indentures proposed by TIGSA, TIFSA and Tyco in connection with the Separation. BONY also seeks a declaratory judgment that TIGSA is obligated to pay BONY reasonable compensation and to reimburse BONY for all reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the Separation and in resolving the proper interpretation of the indentures. On November 15, 2007, Tyco and TIFSA filed counterclaims against BONY, alleging that its refusal to sign the supplemental indentures in connection with the Separation and the filing of the amended complaint constituted a breach of the indentures and a breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing implied in the indentures. They seek unspecified damages on these claims. Tyco and TIFSA also seek a declaratory judgment that no default has occurred and that BONY is required to sign the supplemental indentures.

        On November 8, 2007, BONY delivered to the Company a Notice of Events of Default, claiming that the actions taken by the Company in connection with the Separation constitute events of default under the indentures. The claims made in the Notice of Events of Default are the same as those alleged by BONY in the litigation, and the Company continues to believe that no default or event of default has occurred. The indentures provide for a 90-day cure period following delivery of the notice of default, after which BONY could declare any outstanding amounts under the indentures immediately due and payable. We would contest such an acceleration.

        TIGSA, TIFSA and Tyco continue to believe that the Separation and the proposed supplemental indentures are permitted under the indentures and that no "make-whole" amount is payable. The Company intends to vigorously defend the claims of default and believes it will prevail in legal proceedings.

        If we did not have liquidity available to repay the outstanding debt under the 1998 and 2003 indentures under our 364-day bridge facility, such an acceleration of the outstanding notes would have permitted a majority of the lenders under each of our bank and letter of credit facilities to demand repayment of amounts outstanding under those facilities, and to terminate their commitments to extend additional credit thereunder. As a result, on November 27, 2007, the Company secured additional firm commitments from certain of its lenders under the bridge facility, providing the Company with additional borrowings of up to $4.0 billion to repay such notes. The additional commitments expire on, and any borrowings under the facility would mature on, November 25, 2008. The facility may only be used to repay, settle or otherwise extinguish the amounts required to be paid in connection with the litigation with BONY.

Other Matters

        Earth Tech v. City of Phoenix is a contract dispute arising from Earth Tech's contract with the City of Phoenix, Arizona for expansion of the City's 91st Avenue Waste Water Treatment Plant. On December 21, 2005, Earth Tech filed a lawsuit against the City of Phoenix in the Maricopa County Superior Court alleging $3 million in damages plus interest for the City's failure to pay dewatering and computer systems costs related to the 91st Avenue project. After the City rejected Earth Tech's administrative claim against the City, Earth Tech filed and served a First Amended Complaint upon the City of Phoenix. In its First Amended Complaint, Earth Tech alleged eighteen causes of action and requested the following: (i) a recovery of at least $73 million for the value of the services performed by Earth Tech in connection with the contract; (ii) a rescission of the contract; (iii) an equitable adjustment of the Contract price for additional dewatering services and the Computer Control System; and (iv) costs for demobilization and termination of the contract. The City of Phoenix filed a Motion to Dismiss rather than filing an answer to the First Amended Complaint on May 18, 2006. The Court granted the City's Motion to Dismiss without prejudice on September 19, 2006 allowing Earth Tech 30 days to file a Second Amended Complaint. Earth Tech filed its Second Amended Compliant against the City of Phoenix on September 25, 2006. In connection with this matter, the Company has assets, which it has assessed as recoverable, of $50 million at September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006.

        On December 29, 2005, the City of Phoenix filed a lawsuit against Earth Tech, Inc., its surety, Federal Insurance Company and other unnamed parties in the Maricopa County Superior Court, The City of Phoenix v. Earth Tech, Inc., Federal Insurance Company and John Does 1-50. The lawsuit is in connection with the City of Phoenix's termination on August 12, 2005 of Earth Tech's contract with the City of Phoenix, Arizona for expansion of the City's 91st Avenue Waste Water Treatment Plant. The City alleges the following causes of action: (i) Earth Tech breached its Pre-Construction Services and Construction Management at Risk Contracts; (ii) Earth Tech did not properly, reasonably or timely manage, supervise or inspect the work under the Contracts; (iii) Federal Insurance breached the terms and conditions of the performance bond; and (iv) Federal Insurance failed to investigate the City's Bond Claims. The City requested unspecified general, consequential, incidental, special and liquidated damages plus interest as its relief. On February 8, 2006, Earth Tech filed a Motion to Dismiss the City's Complaint in which Federal Insurance Company joined. The Court denied Earth Tech's Motion to Dismiss on September 25, 2006. The City of Phoenix filed an Amended Complaint against Earth Tech and Federal Insurance on September 25, 2006. In the Amended Complaint, the City of Phoenix alleged damages of $128 million.

        The Presiding Judge of Maricopa County Superior Court on July 11, 2006 consolidated all of the pending lawsuits related to this dispute on the Court's complex litigation docket. On June 6, 2007, the Court granted Earth Tech's motion for partial summary judgment, ordering that application of Arizona's Prompt Payment Act was appropriate and that any material inconsistencies in the contract be resolved in favor of the Act's requirements. On October 19, 2007, Earth Tech filed a second motion related to the Prompt Payment Act, arguing that the City of Phoenix breached its contract with Earth Tech by failing to make payment on a Payment Application that was deemed certified and approved under the Proper Payment Act. The Court is likely to rule on the motion sometime in the spring of 2008. Tyco cannot predict the outcome of this matter and therefore cannot estimate the range of potential loss or extent of risk, if any, that may result from an adverse resolution of this matter.

        Fitzpatrick Contractors Limited v. Tyco Fire and Integrated Solutions (UK) Ltd. On July 18, 2007, Fitzpatrick Contractors Limited ("FCL") commenced an action against Tyco Fire and Integrated Solutions (UK) Ltd. in the High Court of Justice, Queen Bench Division, Technology and Construction Court, United Kingdom, alleging that Tyco entered into a binding contract in 2002 for the design, manufacture and installation of mechanical and electrical works for the refurbishment of a portion of London Transport's Blackwell Tunnel. FCL seeks a declaratory judgment that a contract was formed between the parties and seeks damages for breach of contract in the amount of approximately $38

41



million. Tyco believes it has valid counterclaims for unpaid amounts owed to it by FCL for design work, purchased equipment and subcontracted construction work associated with the project, but denies that it entered a binding contract with FCL for the project and intends to defend this action vigorously. While it is not possible at this time to predict the final outcome of this dispute, Tyco does not believe this action will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        Sensormatic Security Corp. v. Sensormatic Electronics Corp., ADT Security Services, Inc. and Wallace Computer Services, Inc. In April 2002, litigation was commenced in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland by a Sensormatic franchisee, Sensormatic Security Corp. ("SSC"), alleging breach of contract against Sensormatic and tortuous interference with contract against ADT and Wallace Computer Services, Inc., a party unrelated to Tyco. The litigation was based on allegedly unpaid commissions under a franchise agreement. The lawsuit also alleges that Sensormatic improperly authorized third parties (including ADT and Wallace) to sell in SSC's exclusive territory of Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. Sensormatic has agreed to indemnify Wallace. SSC seeks an accounting, monetary damages (including punitive damages against ADT and Wallace), and injunctive relief. Sensormatic and ADT have denied SSC's allegations and asserted affirmative defenses. Sensormatic also filed a counterclaim seeking recovery of overpayments made to SSC. On September 7, 2006, the trial court denied in part and granted in part the parties' cross motions for summary judgment. Among other things, the Court ruled that SSC has the right to commissions on all Sensormatic CCTV products (not just SensorVision systems) if sold for automatic theft detection in the franchise territory and SSC has the right to commissions on CCTV indirect sales if sold for automatic theft detection in the franchise territory. Sensormatic and ADT intend to appeal those rulings. Sensormatic and ADT will continue to vigorously defend the litigation. While it is not possible at this time to predict the final outcome of this dispute, Tyco does not believe this action will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Dividend Policy

        On September 13, 2007 Tyco's Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend on the Company's common shares of $0.15 per share payable on November 1, 2007 to shareholders of record of Tyco International Ltd. post Separation on October 1, 2007. The dividend per common share in the above table represents that of Tyco pre-Separation, which included Covidien and Tyco Electronics. Following the Separation, Covidien and Tyco Electronics declared quarterly dividends as independent public companies. The timing, declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of our common shares, however, falls within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors, including the statutory requirements of Bermuda law, our financial condition and results of operations, the capital requirements of our businesses, industry practice and any other factors the Board of Directors deems relevant. Additionally, we may from time to time enter into financing agreements that contain financial covenants and restrictions, some of which may limit the ability of Tyco to pay dividends.

This table includes 3,088,945 shares available for future issuance under the Tyco Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"), which represents the number of remaining shares registered for issuance under this plan. All of the shares delivered to participants under the ESPP are purchased in the open market. During 2007, the ESPP was suspended in connection with the Separation. We expect to reinstate the ESPP during 2008.

The Tyco International Ltd. Long Term Incentive Plan II (the "LTIP II Plan") provides for the grant of stock options and other equity or equity-based grants to employees who are not officers of Tyco. Under this plan, non-officer employees or former employees of Tyco or a subsidiary could receive: (i) options to purchase Tyco common shares; (ii) stock appreciation rights; (iii) awards payable in cash, common shares, other securities or other property, based on the achievement of performance goals; (iv) dividend equivalents, consisting of a right to receive payments equivalent to dividends declared on Tyco common shares; and (v) other stock-based awards as determined by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee. The exercise price of options and stock appreciation rights would generally be fair market value on the date of grant, but could be lower in certain circumstances. No individual could receive awards for more than 12,000,000 shares (or 3,000,000 shares on a post reverse stock split basis) in any calendar year. Terms and conditions of awards were determined by the Committee. Awards could be deferred, and could be payable in any form the Committee determined, including cash, Tyco common shares, other securities or other property. The Committee may modify awards in recognition of unusual or

45


    nonrecurring events, including a change of control. Under the terms of the 2004 Plan, adopted in March 2004, no additional options, equity or equity-based grants will be made under the LTIP II Plan. The shares granted under the LTIP II Plan will be issued at vesting under the 2004 Plan.

The Tyco International Ltd. UK Savings Related Share Option Plan (the "SAYE Plan") is a UK Inland Revenue approved plan for UK employees pursuant to which employees may be granted options to purchase shares at the end of three years of service at a 15% discount off the market price at time of grant. Employees make monthly contributions that are, at the election of the employee, used for the purchase price or returned to the employee. The total amount of shares that may be purchased at the end of the three years of service is equal to the total of the monthly contributions, plus a tax-free bonus amount equal to a multiple of the aggregate amount of monthly contributions, divided by the option price. An option will generally be exercisable only during the period of six months following the three-year period. The plan is administered by the Company's Senior Vice President of Human Resources, as delegated by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee. The Senior Vice President of Human Resources, among other things, determines when to grant options and sets the option price in accordance with the SAYE Plan's rules.

The average price paid per share is calculated by dividing the total cash paid for the shares by the total number of shares repurchased. Approximately $944 million remained outstanding under this share repurchase program at September 28, 2007. The Company, through an affiliate, also acquires shares from certain employees in order to satisfy employee tax withholding requirements in connection with the vesting of restricted shares. Approximately 51,000 shares were acquired in these vesting-related transactions outside of the share repurchase program during the quarter ended September 28, 2007.

Item 7.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

        The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the Selected Financial Data and our Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including but not limited to those under the headings "Risk Factors" and "Forward-Looking Information."

Introduction

        The Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated results of Tyco International Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Bermuda, and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as "we," the "Company" or "Tyco") and have been prepared in United States dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").

        In connection with the Separation, Tyco Healthcare changed its name to Covidien Ltd. ("Covidien"). As Covidien and Tyco Electronics historically accounted for 55% of our revenues, we have realigned our management and segment reporting structure and report financial and operating information in the following five segments, effective March 31, 2007:

    ADT Worldwide designs, sells, installs, services and monitors electronic security systems to residential, commercial, industrial and governmental customers.

    Fire Protection Services designs, sells, installs and services fire detection and fire suppression systems to commercial, industrial and governmental customers.

    Flow Control designs, manufactures, sells and services valves, pipes, fittings, valve automation and heat tracing products for the water and wastewater markets, the oil, gas and other energy markets along with general process industries.

    Safety Products designs, manufactures and sells fire protection, security and life safety products, including fire suppression products, breathing apparatus, intrusion security, access control and video management systems. In addition, Safety Products manufactures products installed and serviced by ADT Worldwide and Fire Protection Services.

    Electrical and Metal Products designs, manufactures and sells steel tubing and pipe products, as well as cable products, including pre-wired armored cable and flexible conduit products for commercial construction.

        We also provide general corporate services to our segments and these costs are reported as Corporate and Other. During the fourth quarter of 2007, Infrastructure Services, previously reported as part of Corporate and Other, met the held for sale criteria and has been included in discontinued operations in all periods presented.

        References to the segment data are to the Company's continuing operations. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to exclude the results of discontinued operations.

Overview

        Effective June 29, 2007, Tyco completed the spin-offs of Covidien and Tyco Electronics, formerly Healthcare and Electronics businesses, respectively, into separate, publicly traded companies (the "Separation") in the form of a distribution to Tyco shareholders. The distribution was made on June 29, 2007, to Tyco shareholders of record on June 18, 2007, the record date. Each Tyco shareholder received 0.25 of a common share of each of Covidien and Tyco Electronics for each Tyco common

49



share held on the record date. Tyco shareholders received cash in lieu of fractional shares for amounts of less than one Covidien or Tyco Electronics common share. The distribution was structured to be tax-free to Tyco shareholders except to the extent of cash received in lieu of fractional shares. As a result of the distribution, the operations of Tyco's former Healthcare and Electronics businesses are now classified as discontinued operations in all periods presented.

        Additionally, on the distribution date, the Company, as approved by its Board of Directors, effected a reverse stock split of Tyco's common shares, at a split ratio of one for four. Shareholder approval for the reverse stock split was obtained at the March 8, 2007 Special General Meeting of Shareholders. Share and per share data for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

        We have and will continue to incur separation costs related to debt refinancing, tax restructuring, professional services and employee-related costs. We currently estimate that the total income statement charges will be approximately $1.4 billion, after-tax, much of which will be reflected as discontinued operations. During 2007 and 2006, the Company incurred pre-tax costs related to the Separation, including the $647 million loss on early extinguishment of debt in 2007, of $1,083 million and $169 million, respectively. Of this amount, $105 million and $49 million is included in separation costs, $259 million and $0 million related to loss on early extinguishment of debt is included in other expense, net and $719 million and $120 million is included in discontinued operations, respectively. Most of the remaining charges are expected to be incurred during the first six months of fiscal 2008.

        Additionally, 2007 includes tax charges related to the Separation primarily for the write-off of deferred tax assets that will no longer be realizable of $183 million, of which $95 million is included in income taxes and $88 million is included in discontinued operations.

        On April 27, 2007, in connection with the Separation, Tyco and certain of its subsidiaries that are issuers of its corporate debt commenced tender offers to purchase for cash substantially all of its outstanding U.S. dollar denominated public debt. Additionally, on April 30, 2007, Tyco International Group S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("TIGSA"), commenced tender offers to purchase for cash all of its outstanding Euro and Pound Sterling denominated public debt. In connection with the debt tender offers, Tyco incurred a pre-tax charge for the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $647 million, for which no tax benefit is available.

        In connection with the Separation, during the third quarter of 2007 we reorganized to a new management and segment reporting structure. As part of these organizational changes, we assessed new reporting units, assigned goodwill to the new reporting units and tested goodwill for impairment. As a result, we recognized a goodwill impairment of $46 million in 2007 in the ADT Worldwide segment.

        We remain committed to returning excess cash to shareholders. In September 2007, Tyco's Board of Directors approved a new $1.0 billion share repurchase program under which, we repurchased 1.3 million of our common shares for $56 million. During 2007 we also completed the $2.0 billion share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors in May 2006. Additionally, during 2006 we completed the $1.5 billion share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors in July of 2005. During 2007, we paid dividends of $791 million to shareholders. On September 13, 2007 Tyco's Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend on the Company's common shares of $0.15 per share payable on November 1, 2007 to shareholders of record of Tyco International Ltd. post Separation on October 1, 2007.

        During 2007, we sold Aquas Industriales de Jose, C.A. ("AIJ"), a joint venture that was majority owned by Infrastructure Services, for $42 million in net cash proceeds and a pre-tax gain of $19 million was recorded. AIJ met the held for sale and discontinued operations criteria and has been included in discontinued operations in all periods presented.

50



        We are continuing to assess the strategic fit of our various businesses and are considering additional divestitures where businesses do not align with our long term vision. Tyco will explore a number of strategic alternatives for under-performing or non-strategic businesses including possible divestiture. In July 2007, the Board of Directors approved for divestiture Infrastructure Services which was previously reported as part of Corporate and Other. Infrastructure Services had total net revenue of $1.3 billion and operating income of $53 million in 2007. Infrastructure Services met the held for sale criteria in the fourth quarter of 2007 and has been included in discontinued operations in all periods presented.

        To further improve operating efficiency, during the first quarter of 2007, we launched a restructuring program across all segments, including the corporate organization, which will streamline some of the businesses and reduce the operational footprint. We expect to incur charges related to the program of approximately $350 million to $400 million through the end of 2008. During 2007, we incurred charges of $204 million, of which $7 million was recorded in cost of sales, and utilized cash of $70 million related to this program. We believe this restructuring program will strengthen our competitive position over the long term.

Class Action Settlement

        On May 14, 2007, Tyco entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with plaintiffs' counsel in connection with the settlement of 32 purported securities class action lawsuits.

        Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, the plaintiffs agreed to release all claims against Tyco, the other settling defendants and ten other individuals in consideration for the payment of $2.975 billion from Tyco to the certified class. The parties to the Memorandum of Understanding have applied to the court for approval of the settlement agreement. On July 13, 2007, the U. S. District Court in Concord, New Hampshire granted preliminary approval of the settlement. On November 2, 2007, the final fairness hearing for the class settlement was held. The Court indicated it would approve the settlement and stated a formal ruling would be issued in a few weeks. If the settlement agreement does not receive final court approval, the Memorandum of Understanding will be null and void. By December 28, 2007, class participants must file their proofs of claim demonstrating their right to recovery under the class settlement.

        The deadline for deciding not to participate in the class settlement was September 28, 2007. As of such date, Tyco had received opt-out notices from individuals and entities totaling approximately 4% of the shares owned by class members. These individuals and entities may pursue their claims separately against Tyco and any judgments resulting from such claims would not reduce the settlement amount. One entity, Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC, has filed a complaint against Tyco on September 24, 2007 in an action styled Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC v. Tyco International Ltd. in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging violations of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 77(b), Section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 78(b), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 78(k) in connection with the plaintiffs' purchases and sales of Tyco securities between June 4, 2001 and April 30, 2002. The plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory damages and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. Tyco has requested that this action be transferred to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. Tyco intends to vigorously defend the litigation. It is not possible at this time to predict the final outcome or to estimate the amount of loss or range of possible loss, if any, that might result from an adverse resolution of the Franklin matter or other unasserted claims from individuals that have opted-out.

51


        Under the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement entered into in connection with the Separation, each of Tyco, Covidien and Tyco Electronics are jointly and severally liable for the full amount of the class action settlement and any judgments resulting from opt-out claims. Additionally, under the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the companies share in the liability and related escrow accounts, with Tyco assuming 27%, Covidien 42% and Tyco Electronics 31% of the settlement amount.

        Tyco incurred a charge to expense, for which no tax benefit is available, and a current liability of $2.975 billion in 2007. The Company has also recovered or expects to recover certain of these costs from insurers. As such, the Company recorded $113 million of recoveries in connection with the class action settlement in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. Tyco borrowed under its unsecured bridge and credit facilities to fund the liability and placed the proceeds in escrow for the benefit of the class. In connection with the Separation, Covidien and Tyco Electronics assumed their portion of the related borrowing. The escrow accounts will earn interest that is payable to the class. Interest is also accrued on the class action settlement liability. Based on the Separation and Distribution Agreement, at September 28, 2007 Tyco had a receivable from Covidien and Tyco Electronics for their portion of the liability of $1,257 million and $927 million, respectively, and a payable to Covidien and Tyco Electronics for their interest in the escrow accounts. Receivables and payables that pertain to the class action settlement and related escrow accounts with the same counterparty are presented net in the consolidated balance sheet. Tyco's portion of the liability is $808 million. Additionally, Tyco has paid $73 million and recorded payables of $9 million at September 28, 2007, with an offset to shareholders' equity for amounts due to Covidien and Tyco Electronics for their portion of the insurance recovery.

        Net revenue increased $1.4 billion, or 8.3%, for 2007 as compared to 2006 as a result of growth in all of our segments. The increase in net revenue was largely driven by Flow Control as a result of volume growth from continued strength in most industrial end markets. In addition, ADT Worldwide had strong growth in Asia and Latin America, as well as growth in its recurring revenue base and

52



contracting revenue in North America. Fire Protection Services experienced continued growth in electronic and mechanical contracting. Foreign currency exchange rates positively affected 2007 by $586 million while the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures negatively affected 2007 by $48 million.

        Operating income decreased $3.1 billion for 2007. Operating income was primarily impacted by the class action settlement charge, net of $2.862 billion. Revenue growth in all segments was partially offset by lower margins in Electrical and Metal Products primarily due to unfavorable spreads on both steel and copper products. Additionally, operating income was impacted by costs incurred relating to the Separation and the restructuring program announced in November 2006. Separation related costs impacted operating income by $105 million for 2007 and $49 million for 2006. Restructuring and asset impairment charges, net impacted operating income by $217 million for 2007. Also impacting operating income was a goodwill impairment charge of $46 million due to the reorganization into our new management and segment reporting structure. Divestiture charges impacted 2007 by $4 million. Restructuring, asset impairment and divestiture charges, net were $15 million for 2006.

        Net revenue increased $671 million, or 4.0%, for 2006 as compared to 2005 as a result of growth in four of our segments. The increase in net revenue was largely driven by Flow Control as a result of volume growth from strength in most industrial end markets. In addition, revenue growth was favorably impacted by increased selling prices of armored cable products due to higher costs of copper within Electrical and Metal Products during 2006. Foreign currency exchange rates negatively affected 2006 by $85 million while the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures negatively affected the period by $118 million.

        Operating income increased $179 million, or 15.0%, for 2006 while operating margin increased 0.8 percentage points to 7.9%. The increase in operating income was driven by growth in three of our segments as well as reduced operating expenses in corporate, partially offset by lower margins in ADT Worldwide and Safety Products. Operating income for 2006 was unfavorably affected by a $100 million charge relating to a pre-existing voluntary replacement program for certain sprinkler heads, incremental stock option charges of $84 million as required under SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payments," Separation related costs of $49 million and net restructuring, asset impairment and divestiture charges of $15 million. Operating income for 2006 also included $72 million of income related to the extinguishment of certain payment obligations under a split dollar life insurance policy and rabbi trust pursuant to a settlement with Mr. Kozlowski, former Chief Executive Officer, and $48 million of income resulting from a reduction in our estimated workers' compensation liabilities primarily due to favorable claims experience. Operating income during 2005 was negatively affected by net restructuring, asset impairment and divestiture charges of $40 million. In addition, 2005 was unfavorably affected by a charge of $50 million related to an SEC enforcement action and a $70 million charge for estimated contingencies related to contested legal proceedings seeking to enforce retention agreements for five former executives.

        Net revenue for ADT Worldwide increased 6.1% during 2007, with product revenue up 7.4% and service revenue up 5.5%, as compared to 2006. Revenue from product sales includes sales and installation of electronic security and other systems. Service revenue is comprised of electronic security services and maintenance, including the monitoring of burglar alarms, fire alarms and other life safety systems as well as services related to retailer anti-theft systems. The 2.8% revenue growth in North America resulted largely from an increase in commercial installations, primarily in the retailer market, as well as an increase in the recurring revenue base. Revenue in the EMEA region grew 8.7%, primarily driven by favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The 14.5% revenue growth in the Rest of World geographies was primarily driven by strong growth in Asia and Latin America and, to a lesser extent, favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Overall, net revenue was

54



favorably affected by $213 million due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates while the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures unfavorably impacted net revenue by $3 million.

        North America is the most profitable geographic area for ADT Worldwide with 2007 and 2006 operating margin of 17.1% and 16.6%, respectively. ADT EMEA, while profitable with 2007 and 2006 operating margin of 3.1% and 6.3%, respectively, has strong future prospects but is not performing to the level we believe is attainable. As part of our long term program to improve profitability in ADT EMEA, several specific actions have been started, including the appointment of new general management and initiation of an estimated $90 million restructuring program to improve field efficiency, operations and consolidate certain administrative functions. We incurred charges of $69 million related to this restructuring program in 2007 which negatively impacted operating margins.

        Attrition rates for customers in our ADT Worldwide business continued to improve, declining to an average of 12.3% on a trailing 12-month basis for 2007, as compared to 14.2% for 2006 and 15.0% in 2005. As a result of our ongoing review of attrition rates and other pertinent factors affecting the related patterns in which revenues are expected to be earned, management reassessed amortization and depreciation methods and lives for its company-owned security systems and dealer intangible assets and made adjustments in 2007 (see Note 1).

        Operating income of $842 million in 2007 decreased $65 million from $907 million in 2006. Factors that positively impacted operating income included increased volume, operational efficiencies and reductions to depreciation and amortization expense, of $26 million. The decrease to depreciation and amortization expense resulted from changes to the depreciation method and estimated useful lives for pooled subscriber assets and changes to the estimated useful lives of dealer intangible assets. These increases were more than offset by a goodwill impairment charge of $46 million, due to the reorganization of our management and segment reporting structure, as well as increased investment in selling and marketing in Americas and Asia. In addition, results for 2007 included net restructuring and asset impairment charges of $83 million, which were primarily related to actions to improve field efficiencies and consolidating certain administrative functions in Europe, and an impairment of certain indefinite lived intangible assets. Net restructuring, asset impairment and divestiture charges were $5 million in 2006.

        During the fourth quarter of 2007, ADT Worldwide began converting certain North American customers to digital backup services in advance of the February 2008 analog-to-digital signal transition for wireless cellular carriers. Given the Company's experience with this conversion in the fourth quarter, we estimate that the cost of the conversion will negatively impact operating income by approximate $40 million to $50 million in the first half of 2008.

        Net revenue for ADT Worldwide increased 1.4% during 2006, with product revenue up 3.0% compared to 2005. Revenue grew 10.6% in the Rest of World geographies, driven primarily by strong growth in Asia and Latin America. Revenue in North America was up slightly, while revenue in the EMEA region declined due to the continued high attrition of the legacy account base in Continental Europe. Net revenue was unfavorably affected by $35 million due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates while the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures unfavorably impacted net revenue by $19 million.

        Operating income decreased $45 million in 2006 from 2005. Results for 2006 included net restructuring, asset impairment and divestiture charges of $5 million as compared to net restructuring, asset impairment and divestiture charges of $13 million in 2005. Operating income for 2006 was negatively affected by slightly lower gross margin, due largely to margin pressures in commercial contracting coupled with a slightly higher mix of lower-margin contracting revenue. These effects were partially offset by cost savings related to operational excellence initiatives. In addition, 2006 was unfavorably affected by incremental stock option charges of $14 million required under SFAS No. 123R.

Fire Protection Services

        Net revenue, operating income and operating margin for Fire Protection Services for the years ended September 28, 2007, September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005 were as follows ($ in millions):

 
  2007
  2006
  2005
 
Revenue from product sales   $ 1,901   $ 1,729   $ 1,626  
Service revenue     1,605     1,552     1,556  
   
 
 
 
Net revenue   $ 3,506   $ 3,281   $ 3,182  
   
 
 
 
Operating income   $ 253   $ 239   $ 202  
Operating margin     7.2 %   7.3 %   6.3 %

        Net revenue for Fire Protection Services increased $225 million, or 6.9%, during 2007 as compared to 2006, driven largely by a 9.9% increase in revenue from product sales. Revenue from product sales includes sales and installation of fire protection and other systems. Service revenue comprises inspection, maintenance, service and monitoring of fire detection and suppression systems. This increase was largely the result of strong growth in most regions which benefited from continuing strength in commercial construction activity in our focused end-markets. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had a favorable impact of $99 million while divestitures had a negative impact of $30 million.

        Operating income increased $14 million during 2007 as compared to 2006 resulting largely from increased volume, and improved margins, primarily in North America. Results for 2007 included net restructuring charges of $33 million, of which $1 million is included in cost of sales, primarily related to actions to improve field efficiencies and consolidate certain administrative functions in Europe, compared to no charges 2006.

        Net revenue for Fire Protection Services increased $99 million, or 3.1%, during 2006 as compared to 2005, driven largely by a 6.3% increase in revenue from product sales. Most of the revenue increase occurred in North America, which experienced strong bookings and increasing backlog throughout most of the past two years. Revenue was unfavorably affected by $39 million related to divestitures and $22 million due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

        Operating income increased $37 million in 2006 over 2005. Higher revenue, slightly improved gross margin and continued control of general and administrative expenses contributed to the improved operating results. Operating income for 2006 was also favorably affected by cost savings related to operational excellence initiatives and prior year restructuring programs. In addition, 2006 was unfavorably affected by incremental stock option charges of $8 million required under SFAS No. 123R.

Flow Control

        Net revenue, operating income and operating margin for Flow Control for the years ended September 28, 2007, September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005 were as follows ($ in millions):

 
  2007
  2006
  2005
 
Revenue from product sales   $ 3,618   $ 3,002   $ 2,690  
Service revenue     148     133     116  
   
 
 
 
Net revenue   $ 3,766   $ 3,135   $ 2,806  
   
 
 
 
Operating income   $ 457   $ 356   $ 336  
Operating margin     12.1 %   11.4 %   12.0 %

        Net revenue for Flow Control increased $631 million, or 20.1%, in 2007 as compared 2006. The increase in net revenue was largely driven by volume growth from continued strength in most industrial

56



end markets with significant project growth in the energy and water sectors. Growth in these sectors was strong across all geographical regions, and, in particular, Asia-Pacific and Europe. Favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates positively impacted revenue by $197 million while the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures unfavorably impacted net revenue by $16 million.

        The increase in operating income of $101 million, or 28.4%, in 2007 as compared 2006 was primarily due to revenue growth, as well as improved utilization rates. The increase in operating income during 2007 was partially offset by net restructuring and asset impairment charges of $25 million, which includes $6 million in cost of sales, $3 million of divestiture charges, and $1 million of Separation costs.

        Net revenue for Flow Control increased $329 million, or 11.7%, in 2006 as compared to 2005. The increase in net revenue was largely driven by volume growth from strength in most industrial end markets with substantial project growth in the energy, process and water sectors. Growth in these sectors was particularly strong in Asia-Pacific and the Americas. The increases in revenue were partially offset by unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $43 million.

        The increase in operating income in 2006 as compared to 2005 was due primarily to revenue growth mentioned above, along with the impact of operational excellence initiatives. This increase was partially offset by the impact of incremental stock option charges required under SFAS No. 123R of $7 million.

Safety Products

        Net revenue, operating income and operating margin for Safety Products for the years ended September 28, 2007, September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005 were as follows ($ in millions):

 
  2007
  2006
  2005
 
Revenue from product sales   $ 1,752   $ 1,660   $ 1,668  
Service revenue     15     15     14  
   
 
 
 
Net revenue   $ 1,767   $ 1,675   $ 1,682  
   
 
 
 
Operating income   $ 286   $ 202   $ 278  
Operating margin     16.2 %   12.1 %   16.5 %

        Net revenue for Safety Products increased $92 million, or 5.5%, during 2007 as compared to 2006 primarily from strong performance in the fire suppression and electronic security businesses. Favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $48 million also contributed to the increase in revenue. The increase in the fire suppression business was driven by continued growth in the energy and marine sectors in the Americas and the Middle East as well as increased selling prices to help offset the significant cost increase of raw materials. The electronic security business also experienced favorable growth as a result of new product introductions and new market expansions. These increases were partially offset by continued softness in the life safety business in North America due to delays of federal assistance provided to fire departments.

        Operating income increased $84 million to $286 million for the year ended September 28, 2007 compared to the prior year. Prior year results included a $100 million charge related to a pre-existing Voluntary Replacement Program ("VRP") for sprinkler heads in the fire suppression business. The deadline for filing claims to participate in the VRP ended on August 31, 2007. In light of the most current claims data, an additional $10 million charge was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2007.

        Net revenue for Safety Products decreased $7 million during 2006 as compared to 2005 driven by the unfavorable impact of $56 million from divested businesses as well as delays of federal assistance provided to fire departments which unfavorably impacted the life safety business. These decreases were

57



partially offset by stronger performance in the fire suppression business as a result of favorable market conditions in the United States, Middle East and China and new product introductions, including clean agent fire suppression systems. The electronic security business also experienced favorable growth as a result of new product introductions and new market expansions. Foreign currency exchange rates negatively impacted revenues by $7 million.

        Operating income decreased $76 million in 2006 over 2005 primarily as a result of a $100 million charge related to a pre-existing voluntary replacement program for sprinkler heads in the fire suppression business. This charge reflected our updated estimate of the additional costs necessary to bring the program to completion. The decrease in operating income during 2006 was partially offset by volume growth and higher margins from new product introductions and price increases in the fire suppression and electronic security business, as well as cost reduction benefits from the 2004 restructuring programs. Also, 2006 results include the effect of incremental stock option charges required under SFAS No. 123R of $5 million.

Electrical and Metal Products

        Net revenue, operating income and operating margin for Electrical and Metal Products for the years ended September 28, 2007, September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005 were as follows ($ in millions):

 
  2007
  2006
  2005
 
Revenue from product sales   $ 1,970   $ 1,946   $ 1,795  
Service revenue     4     3     3  
   
 
 
 
Net revenue   $ 1,974   $ 1,949   $ 1,798  
   
 
 
 
Operating income   $ 159   $ 319   $ 295  
Operating margin     8.1 %   16.4 %   16.4 %

        Net revenue for Electrical and Metal Products increased $25 million, or 1.3%, in 2007 as compared to 2006. Favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $20 million contributed to the increase in revenue. The increase in net revenue was largely driven by increased sales volume of armored cable products, steel tubular products, and higher selling prices and sales volumes in Brazil. These increases were largely offset by the impact of lower selling prices on steel tubular products in North America.

        The decrease in operating income of $160 million, or 50.2%, in 2007 as compared to 2006 was primarily due to unfavorable spreads on both steel tubular and armored cable products. Income generated by higher sales volume for both armored cable and steel tubular products were more than offset by lower selling prices and higher raw material prices.

        Net revenue for Electrical and Metal Products increased $151 million, or 8.4%, in 2006 as compared to 2005. The increase in net revenue in 2006 was largely driven by increased selling prices of armored cable products as a result of higher costs of copper and higher volumes of core steel products due to growth in the non-residential construction markets in North America. Favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $15 million also contributed to the increase in revenue. The above increases in revenue were partially offset by the impact of lower selling prices on core steel products in North America mainly due to lower costs of steel and a slower market for products in Brazil.

        The increase in operating income of $24 million in 2006 as compared to 2005 was due primarily to favorable copper spreads and higher volumes of core steel products. These increases were partially offset by the impact of reduced spreads for core steel products and incremental stock option charges required under SFAS No. 123R of $3 million.

Corporate and Other

        Net revenue, operating income and operating margin for Corporate and Other Metal Products for the years ended September 28, 2007, September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005 were as follows ($ in millions):

 
  2007
  2006
  2005
 
Revenue from product sales   $ 120   $ 91   $ 93  
Service revenue              
   
 
 
 
Net revenue   $ 120   $ 91   $ 93  
   
 
 
 
Operations   $ 24   $ 18   $ 18  
Corporate expense     (3,736 )   (671 )   (890 )
   
 
 
 
Operating loss   $ (3,712 ) $ (653 ) $ (872 )
   
 
 
 

        Corporate and Other includes the operating results of certain international buildings products businesses.

        Corporate expense for 2007 included class action settlement charge, net of $2.862 billion, Separation related costs of $104 million, and net restructuring charges of $40 million primarily related to the consolidation of certain headquarter functions. Additionally, corporate expense for 2007 includes $13 million of charges related to the accelerated amortization of restricted shares in connection with the Separation.

        In connection with the Separation, we have initiated actions to reduce our corporate expense and are targeting a full year corporate expense run rate of $500 million by mid-2008.

        Corporate expense in 2006 was $219 million lower than 2005. Corporate expense for 2006 included $72 million of income related to the extinguishment of certain payment obligations under a split dollar life insurance policy and rabbi trust pursuant to a settlement with Mr. Kozlowski, former Chief Executive Officer, and $48 million of income resulting from a reduction in our estimated workers' compensation liabilities primarily due to favorable claims experience. These income items were partially offset by incremental stock option charges of $47 million required under SFAS 123R, Separation related costs of $49 million and restructuring and divestiture charges of $2 million. On a comparative basis to 2005, corporate expense in 2006 also benefited from lower Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs.

        Corporate expense for 2005 included a $50 million charge for fines and penalties paid to resolve the matters raised in the SEC investigation that commenced in June 2002, as well as a $70 million charge for estimated contingencies related to contested legal proceedings seeking to enforce retention agreements for five former executives.

Interest Income and Expense

        Interest income was $102 million in 2007, as compared to $43 million and $39 million in 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in interest income in 2007 is primarily related to interest earned on the class action settlement escrow of $41 million.

        Interest expense was $313 million in 2007, as compared to $279 million in 2006 and $322 million in 2005. The increase in interest expense in 2007 is a result of interest on the class action settlement liability of $41 million, partially offset by lower debt outstanding. The decrease in interest expense in 2006 is primarily driven by lower debt balances, partially offset by the impact of higher interest rates on our interest rate swap program as compared to 2005.

        The weighted-average interest rate on total debt outstanding at September 28, 2007, September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005 were 6.3%, 6.0% and 5.7%, respectively.

59



        In each period, net interest amounts were proportionally allocated to Covidien and Tyco Electronics based on the debt amounts that we believe were utilized by Covidien and Tyco Electronics historically inclusive of amounts directly incurred and is reflected as discontinued operations. Allocated net interest was calculated using our historical weighted average interest rate on debt, including the impact of interest rate swap agreements. The portion of Tyco's interest income allocated to Covidien and Tyco Electronics was $35 million, $53 million and $43 million during 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The portion of Tyco's interest expense allocated to Covidien and Tyco Electronics was $242 million, $378 million and $433 million during 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Other Expense, Net

        Other expense, net was $255 million in 2007 and $296 million in 2005. During 2007, other expense, net consisted primarily of a $259 million loss on early extinguishment of debt incurred in connection with the debt tender offers (see Note 13), for which no tax benefit is available. This charge consists primarily of premiums paid and the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts. The total loss on early extinguishment of debt was $647 million, with $259 million included in continuing operations and $388 million allocated to Covidien and Tyco Electronics and included in discontinued operations.

        During 2005, other expense, net consisted primarily of losses related to the repurchase of outstanding convertible debt prior to its scheduled maturity partially offset by a $109 million court-ordered restitution award.

        During 2005, the Company repurchased $1,241 million principal amount of its outstanding 2.75% convertible senior debentures for $1,823 million and $750 million principal amount of its outstanding 3.125% convertible senior debentures for $1,147 million. These repurchases resulted in a $1,013 million loss on the retirement of debt, including the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, with $405 included in continuing operations and $608 million allocated to Covidien and Tyco Electronics and included in discontinued operations.

        Additionally, in September 2005, we were awarded a total of $134 million as restitution in connection with our litigation against Mr. L. Dennis Kozlowski, our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Mark H. Swartz, our former Chief Financial Officer and Director (together, the "Defendants"), as described in Item 3. Legal Proceedings. The restitution award is comprised of $109 million of previously expensed compensation made to the Defendants and reported as other expense, net in prior years and $25 million related to a loan receivable from Mr. L. Dennis Kozlowski which had been reflected in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements as a receivable. During 2007, the Company received payment for these amounts.

Income Taxes

Effective Income Tax Rate

        The effective tax rate for 2007 is not meaningful primarily as a result of the class action settlement charge, net of $2.862 billion and the loss on early extinguishment of debt of $259 million for which no tax benefit is available. Additionally, taxes for 2007 were negatively impacted by tax costs related to the Separation. Our effective income tax rate was 27.3% and 4.7% for 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate from 2005 to 2006 was primarily the result of a lower release of deferred tax asset valuation allowances, increased profits in higher tax rate jurisdictions and adjustments to the tax accrual for legacy tax matters in 2005, partially offset by the loss on retirement of debt for which no benefit was available in 2005.

        The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $666 million and $800 million at September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006, respectively, relates principally to the uncertainty of the utilization of

60



certain deferred tax assets, primarily tax loss and credit carryforwards in various jurisdictions. We believe that we will generate sufficient future taxable income to realize the tax benefits related to the remaining net deferred tax assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The valuation allowance was calculated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires a valuation allowance be established or maintained when it is "more likely than not" that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

        The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across our global operations. We recognize potential liabilities and record tax liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These tax liabilities are reflected net of related tax loss carryforwards. We adjust these liabilities in light of changing facts and circumstances; however, due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the tax liabilities. Further, management has reviewed with tax counsel the issues raised by these taxing authorities and the adequacy of these recorded amounts. Substantially all of these potential tax liabilities are recorded in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as payment is not expected within one year.

Other Income Tax Matters

        In connection with the spin-offs of Covidien and Tyco Electronics from Tyco, Tyco entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement that generally governs Covidien's, Tyco Electronics' and Tyco's respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations after the distribution with respect to taxes, including ordinary course of business taxes and taxes, if any, incurred as a result of any failure of the distribution of all of the shares of Covidien or Tyco Electronics to qualify as a tax-free distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Section 355 of the Code or certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the spin-offs to qualify for tax-favored treatment under the Code.

        Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, with certain exceptions, Tyco generally is responsible for the payment of 27% of any additional U.S. income taxes that are required to be paid to a U.S. tax authority as a result of a U.S. tax audit of Covidien's, Tyco Electronics' or Tyco's subsidiaries' income tax returns for all periods prior to the spin-offs.

        Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Company shares responsibility for certain of Tyco's, Covidien's and Tyco Electronics' income tax liabilities based on a sharing formula for periods prior to and including June 29, 2007. More specifically, Tyco, Covidien and Tyco Electronics share 27%, 42% and 31%, respectively, of U.S. income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to Tyco's, Covidien's and Tyco Electronics' U.S. income tax returns. All costs and expenses associated with the management of these shared tax liabilities are shared equally among the parties. At September 28, 2007, Tyco has recorded a receivable from Covidien and Tyco Electronics of $103 million reflected in other assets as our estimate of their portion of the Tax Sharing obligations with an offset to shareholders' equity. Other liabilities include $543 million for the fair value of Tyco's obligations under the Tax Sharing Agreement, determined in accordance with FIN 45 recognized with an offset to shareholders' equity.

        Tyco will provide payment under the Tax Sharing Agreement as the shared income tax liabilities are settled. Settlement is expected to occur as the IRS audit process is completed for the impacted years. Given the nature of the shared liabilities, the maximum amount of potential future payments is not determinable.

        In the event the Separation is determined to be taxable and such determination was the result of actions taken after the Separation by Tyco, Covidien or Tyco Electronics, the party responsible for such failure would be responsible for all taxes imposed on Tyco, Covidien or Tyco Electronics as a result

61


thereof. If such determination is not the result of actions taken after the Separation by Tyco, Covidien or Tyco Electronics, then Tyco, Covidien and Tyco Electronics would be responsible for 27%, 42% and 31%, respectively, of any taxes imposed on Tyco, Covidien or Tyco Electronics as a result of such determination. Such tax amounts could be significant. The Company is responsible for all of its own taxes that are not shared pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement's sharing formula. In addition, Covidien and Tyco Electronics are responsible for their tax liabilities that are not subject to the Tax Sharing Agreement's sharing formula.

        If any party to the Tax Sharing Agreement were to default in its obligation to another party to pay its share of the distribution taxes that arise as a result of no party's fault, each non-defaulting party would be required to pay, equally with any other non-defaulting party, the amounts in default. In addition, if another party to the Tax Sharing Agreement that is responsible for all or a portion of an income tax liability were to default in its payment of such liability to a taxing authority, the Company could be legally liable under applicable tax law for such liabilities and required to make additional tax payments. Accordingly, under certain circumstances, the Company may be obligated to pay amounts in excess of its agreed-upon share of Tyco's, Covidien's and Tyco Electronics' tax liabilities. See Note 16 for further discussion of guarantees and indemnifications extended among Tyco, Covidien and Tyco Electronics.

        The Company and its subsidiaries' income tax returns periodically are examined by various tax authorities. In connection with these examinations, tax authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), have raised issues and proposed tax adjustments. The Company is reviewing and contesting certain of the proposed tax adjustments. Amounts related to these tax adjustments and other tax contingencies and related interest that management has assessed as probable and estimable have been recorded.

        In 2004, in connection with the IRS audit of the 1997 through 2000 years, the Company submitted to the IRS proposed adjustments to these prior period U.S. federal income tax returns resulting in a reduction in the taxable income previously filed. During 2006, the IRS accepted substantially all of the proposed adjustments. Also during 2006, the Company developed proposed amendments to U.S. federal income tax returns for additional periods through 2002. On the basis of previously accepted amendments, the Company has determined that acceptance of these adjustments is probable and, accordingly, has recorded them in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Such adjustments did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

        The Company has yet to complete proposed amendments to its U.S. federal income tax returns for periods subsequent to 2002, which will primarily reflect the roll forward through 2006 of the amendments for the periods 1997 to 2002. When the Company's tax return positions are updated additional adjustments may be identified and recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements. While the final adjustments cannot be determined until the income tax return amendment process is completed, the Company believes that any resulting adjustments will not have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

        During the third quarter of 2007, the IRS concluded its field examination of certain of Tyco's U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 1997 though 2000 and issued anticipated Revenue Agents' Reports ("RARs") which reflect the IRS' determination of proposed tax adjustments for the periods under audit. The RARs propose tax audit adjustments to certain of the Company's previously filed tax return positions, all of which the Company expected and previously assessed at each balance sheet date. Accordingly, the Company has made no additional provision during the year ended September 28, 2007 as a result of the proposed audit adjustments in the RARs.

        The Company has agreed with the IRS on adjustments totaling $498 million, with an estimated cash impact to the Company of $458 million, and during the third quarter of 2007, the Company paid $458 million, of which $163 million relates to the Company's discontinued operations. The Company

62



appealed other proposed tax audit adjustments totaling approximately $1 billion, and, as Audit Managing Party as specified in the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Company intends to vigorously defend its prior filed tax return positions. The Company continues to believe that the amounts recorded in its financial statements relating to these tax adjustments are sufficient. However, the ultimate resolution of these matters is uncertain and could result in a material impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, ultimate resolution of these matters could result in the Company filing amended U.S. federal income tax returns for years subsequent to the current 1997 to 2000 audit period and could have a material impact on the Company's effective tax rate in future reporting periods.

        Additionally, the IRS proposed civil fraud penalties against a prior subsidiary that was distributed to Tyco Electronics arising from alleged actions of former executives in connection with certain intercompany transfers of stock of Simplex Technologies in 1998 and 1999. Based on statutory guidelines, we estimate the proposed penalties could range between $30 million and $50 million. The Company as Audit Managing Party will vigorously oppose the assertion of such penalties against Tyco Electronics, in part, because beginning in 2003 the Company discovered, investigated and reported the conduct at issue to the IRS and fully cooperated in the criminal prosecution of the Company's former Chief Tax Officer on a charge of willful filing of a false tax return.

        Except for earnings that are currently distributed, no additional material provision has been made for U.S. or non-U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries or for unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, as such earnings are expected to be permanently reinvested, the investments are essentially permanent in duration, or the Company has concluded that no additional tax liability will arise as a result of distribution of such earnings. A liability could arise if amounts are distributed by such subsidiaries or if such subsidiaries are ultimately disposed. It is not practicable to estimate the additional income taxes related to permanently reinvested earnings or the basis differences related to investments in subsidiaries.

Discontinued Operations and Divestitures

Discontinued Operations

        During the third quarter of 2007, Tyco completed the Separation and has presented its Healthcare and Electronics businesses as discontinued operations in all periods presented.

        The Company has used available information to develop its best estimates for certain assets and liabilities related to the Separation. In limited instances, final determination of the balances will be made in subsequent periods. During the fourth quarter of 2007, $72 million was recorded through shareholders' equity, primarily related to the cash true-up adjustment and other items, as specified in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, adjustments to certain pre-Separation tax liabilities, and the impact of filing final income tax returns in certain jurisdictions where those returns include a combination of Tyco, Covidien and/or Tyco Electronics legal entities. Additional adjustments are not expected to be material and will be recorded through shareholder's equity in subsequent periods as tax returns are finalized.

        During 2007, AIJ, a joint venture that was majority owned by Infrastructure Services, was sold for $42 million in net cash proceeds and a pre-tax gain on sale of $19 million was recorded. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2007, the remaining portion of Infrastructure Services met the held for sale criteria and its results of operations have been included in discontinued operations for all periods presented. Infrastructure Services provides consulting, engineering, construction management and operating services for the water, wastewater, environmental, transportation and facilities market. The Company has assessed the recoverability of these businesses carrying values and will continue to assess recoverability based on current fair value, less cost to sell, until the businesses are sold. On September 17, 2007, the Company executed a definitive agreement to sell for approximately

63



$295 million in cash 100% of the stock of ETEO—Empresa de Transmissao de Energia do Oeste Ltda., a Brazilian subsidiary of Infrastructure Services. The transaction is subject to Brazilian regulatory approval and normal closing conditions and is expected to close by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company expects to sell the remaining portion of Infrastructure Services by the end of fiscal 2008.

        The AIJ, Infrastructure Services, Plastics, Adhesives and Ludlow Coated Products and A&E Products businesses met the held for sale and discontinued operations criteria and have been included in discontinued operations in all periods presented.

Losses on divestitures

        During 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded $4 million, $2 million and $23 million, respectively, of divestiture charges in continuing operations in connection with the write-down to fair value, less cost to sell, of certain businesses. The fair value used for the impairment assessments was primarily based on the terms and conditions included or expected to be included in the sales agreements.

Acquisitions

        During 2007, cash paid for acquisitions included in continuing operations, primarily within ADT Worldwide, Safety Products and Flow Control, totaled $31 million. Cash paid for acquisitions by businesses included in continuing operations during 2006 and 2005 totaled $5 million and $6 million, respectively.

        These acquisitions were funded utilizing cash from operations. The results of operations of the acquired companies have been included in Tyco's consolidated results from the respective acquisition dates. These acquisitions did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Goodwill Impairment

        In connection with the Separation, during the third quarter of 2007 Tyco reorganized into a new management and segment reporting structure. As part of these organizational changes, the Company assessed new reporting units and conducted valuations to determine the assignment of goodwill to the new reporting units based on their estimated relative fair values. Following the relative fair value goodwill allocation, the Company then tested goodwill for impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeded its fair value, goodwill was considered potentially impaired. Where goodwill was potentially impaired, the Company compared the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill to the carrying amount of that goodwill. The carrying amount of goodwill exceeded the implied fair value of goodwill in the Australia and New Zealand Security Services business, part of the ADT Worldwide segment. As a result, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment of $46 million in the third quarter of 2007.

        In determining fair value, management relies on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, and market place data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and judgments in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. Changes to these factors and judgments could result in impairment to one or more of our reporting units in a future period. See Note 1.

64


Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change

        During 2006, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation ("FIN") No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143." FIN No. 47 clarifies the timing of liability recognition for legal obligations associated with an asset retirement when the timing and (or) method of settling the obligation are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity and clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. FIN No. 47 requires that conditional asset retirement obligations, along with the associated capitalized asset retirement costs, be initially reported at their fair values. Upon adoption, the Company recognized a liability of $32 million for asset retirement obligations and an increase of $10 million in the carrying amount of the related assets, of which $19 million and $5 million are reflected in liabilities and assets of discontinued operations, respectively. The initial recognition resulted in a cumulative effect of accounting change of $14 million after-tax loss ($22 million pre-tax), reflecting the accumulated depreciation and accretion that would have been recognized in prior periods had the provisions of FIN No. 47 been in effect at the time.

        During 2005, the Company changed the measurement date for its pension and postretirement benefit plans, from September 30th to August 31st, effective October 1, 2004. The Company believes that the one-month change of measurement date is a preferable change as it allows management adequate time to evaluate and report the actuarial information in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements under the accelerated reporting deadlines. As a result of this change, the Company recorded a $21 million after-tax gain ($28 million pre-tax) cumulative effect of accounting change.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. The following accounting policies are based on, among other things, judgments and assumptions made by management that include inherent risks and uncertainties. Management's estimates are based on the relevant information available at the end of each period.

        Depreciation and Amortization Methods for Security Monitoring-Related Assets —Tyco generally considers assets related to the acquisition of new customers in its electronic security business in three asset categories: internally generated residential subscriber systems, internally generated commercial subscriber systems (collectively referred to as subscriber system assets) and customer accounts acquired through the ADT dealer program (referred to as dealer intangibles). Subscriber system assets include installed property, plant and equipment for which Tyco retains ownership and deferred costs directly related to the customer acquisition and system installation. Subscriber system assets and any deferred revenue resulting from the customer acquisition are accounted for over the expected life of the subscriber. In certain geographical areas where the Company has a large number of customers that behave in a similar manner over time, the Company accounts for subscriber system assets and related deferred revenue using pools, with separate pools for the components of subscriber system assets and any related deferred revenue based on the month and year of acquisition.

        Effective as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2007, Tyco changed the depreciation method and estimated useful life used to account for pooled subscriber system assets (primarily in North America) and related deferred revenue from the straight-line method with lives ranging from 10 to 14 years to an accelerated method with lives up to 15 years. The accelerated method utilizes declining balance rates based on geographical area ranging from 160% to 195% for residential subscriber pools and 145% to 265% for commercial subscriber pools and converts to a straight-line methodology when the resulting depreciation charge is greater than that from the accelerated method. The Company will continue to use a straight-line method with a 14-year life for non-pooled subscriber system assets (primarily in Europe and Asia) and related deferred revenue, with remaining balances written off upon customer termination.

        The change in the method and estimated useful life used to account for pooled subscriber system assets and related deferred revenue resulted from our ongoing analysis of all pertinent factors, including actual customer attrition data specific to customer categories and geographical areas, demand, competition, and the estimated technological life of the installed systems. The pertinent factors have been influenced by management's ongoing customer retention programs, as well as tactical and strategic initiatives to improve service delivery, customer satisfaction, and the credit worthiness of the subscriber customer base. All pertinent factors, including actual customer attrition data specific to customer categories and geographical areas, demand, competition, and the estimated technological life of the installed systems, will continue to be reviewed by the Company at each balance sheet date to assess the continued appropriateness of methods and estimated useful lives.

        Effective as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2007, Tyco also changed the estimated useful life of dealer intangibles in geographical areas comprising approximately 90% of the net carrying value of dealer intangibles from 12 to 15 years. The Company continues to amortize dealer intangible assets on an accelerated basis. The change in the estimated useful life used to account for dealer intangibles resulted from our ongoing analysis of all pertinent factors, including actual customer attrition data, demand, competition, and the estimated technological life of the installed systems. The pertinent factors have been influenced by management's ongoing customer retention programs, as well as tactical and strategic initiatives to improve service delivery, customer satisfaction, and the credit worthiness of the subscriber customer base.

        Attrition rates for customers in our ADT Worldwide business were 12.3%, 14.2% and 15.0% on a trailing 12-month basis for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

        Revenue Recognition—Contract sales for the installation of fire protection systems, large security intruder systems and other construction-related projects are recorded primarily under the percentage-of-completion method. Profits recognized on contracts in process are based upon estimated contract revenue and related total cost of the project at completion. The risk of this methodology is its dependence upon estimates of costs at completion, which are subject to the uncertainties inherent in long-term contracts. Revisions to cost estimates as contracts progress have the effect of increasing or decreasing profits each period. Provisions for anticipated losses are made in the period in which they become determinable. If estimates are inaccurate, there is risk that our revenue and profits for the period may be overstated or understated.

        Product discounts granted are based on the terms of arrangements with direct, indirect and other markets participants. Rebates are estimated based on sales terms, historical experience and trend analysis.

        Loss Contingencies—Accruals are recorded for various contingencies including legal proceedings, self-insurance and other claims that arise in the normal course of business. The accruals are based on judgment, the probability of losses and, where applicable, the consideration of opinions of internal and/or external legal counsel and actuarially determined estimates. Additionally, the Company records receivables from third party insurers when recovery has been determined to be probable.

        Income Taxes—In determining income for financial statement purposes, we must make certain estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments affect the calculation of certain tax liabilities and the determination of the recoverability of certain of the deferred tax assets, which arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense.

        In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets we consider all available positive and negative evidence including our past operating results, the existence of cumulative losses in the most recent years and our forecast of future taxable income. In estimating future taxable income, we develop assumptions including the amount of future state, federal and international pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses.

        We currently have recorded significant valuation allowances that we intend to maintain until it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will be realized. Our income tax expense recorded in the future will be reduced to the extent of decreases in our valuation allowances. The realization of our remaining deferred tax assets is primarily dependent on future taxable income in the appropriate jurisdiction. Any reduction in future taxable income including but not limited to any future restructuring activities may require that we record an additional valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. An increase in the valuation allowance would result in additional income tax expense in such period and could have a significant impact on our future earnings. If a change in a valuation allowance occurs, which was established in connection with an acquisition, such adjustment may impact goodwill rather than the income tax provision.

        Changes in tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. Management is not aware of any such changes that would have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

        In addition, the calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across our global operations. We recognize potential liabilities and record tax liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These tax liabilities are reflected net of related tax loss carryforwards. We adjust these reserves

67



in light of changing facts and circumstances; however, due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the tax liabilities. If our estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, an additional charge to expense would result. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be less than the recorded amounts, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary. If the tax liabilities relate to tax uncertainties existing at the date of the acquisition of a business, the adjustment of such tax liabilities will result in an adjustment to the goodwill recorded at the date of acquisition.

        Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets—Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment annually and more frequently if triggering events occur. In performing these assessments, management relies on various factors, including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, comparable transactions and other market data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. Since judgment is involved in performing fair value measurements used in goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment analyses, there is risk that the carrying values of our goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets may be overstated.

        We elected to make the first day of the fourth quarter the annual impairment assessment date for all goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. When testing for goodwill impairment, the Company follows the guidance prescribed in SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." First, the Company compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered potentially impaired and further tests are performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. In the second step of the goodwill impairment test, the Company compares the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill. If the carrying amount of reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the carrying amount of goodwill over its implied fair value. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner that the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination is determined. The Company allocates the fair value of a reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit, including intangible assets, as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Any excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities represents the implied fair value of goodwill.

        Disruptions to our business such as end market conditions and protracted economic weakness, unexpected significant declines in operating results of reporting units, the divestiture of a significant component of a reporting unit and market capitalization declines may result in our having to perform a goodwill impairment first step valuation analysis for some or all of our reporting units prior to the required annual assessment. These types of events and the resulting analysis could result in goodwill impairment charges in the future.

        Goodwill impairments related to continuing operations were $46 million during 2007. There were no goodwill impairments related to continuing operations during 2006 and 2005.

        Long-Lived Assets—Assets held and used by the Company, including property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be fully recoverable. Tyco performs undiscounted operating cash flow analyses to determine if impairment exists. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment for assets held for use, Tyco groups assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identified. If an impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on fair value. Impairments to long-lived assets to be disposed of are recorded based upon the fair value of the applicable assets. The calculation of the fair value of long-lived assets is based on assumptions concerning the amount and

68



timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates, reflecting varying degrees of perceived risk. Since judgment is involved in determining the fair value and useful lives of long-lived assets, there is a risk that the carrying value of our long-lived assets may be overstated or understated.

        Pension and Postretirement Benefits—Our pension expense and obligations are developed from actuarial valuations. Two critical assumptions in determining pension expense and obligations are the discount rate and expected long-term return on plan assets. We evaluate these assumptions at least annually. Other assumptions reflect demographic factors such as retirement, mortality and turnover and are evaluated periodically and updated to reflect our actual experience. Actual results may differ from actuarial assumptions. The discount rate represents the market rate for high-quality fixed income investments and is used to calculate the present value of the expected future cash flows for benefit obligations under our pension plans. A decrease in the discount rate increases the present value of pension benefit obligations. A 25 basis point decrease in the discount rate would increase our present value of pension obligations by approximately $90 million. We consider the current and expected asset allocations of our pension plans, as well as historical and expected long-term rates of return on those types of plan assets, in determining the expected long-term return on plan assets. A 50 basis point decrease in the expected long-term return on plan assets would increase our pension expense by approximately $10 million.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

        The sources of our cash flow from operating activities and the use of a portion of that cash in our operations for the years ended September 28, 2007, September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005 were as follows ($ in millions):

        The net change in total working capital was a cash decrease of $405 million in 2007. The components of this change are set forth in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The significant changes in working capital included a $166 million increase in inventories, a $128 million increase in accounts receivable, and $244 million of changes in income taxes, net, which includes a payment of legacy tax liabilities. Additionally, working capital includes the collection of $38 million related to restitution owed by Mark H. Swartz, former Chief Financial Officer and Director, and $98 million related to the restitution owed by L. Dennis Kozlowski, former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

        During the third quarter of 2007, Tyco entered into the class action settlement and borrowed under its unsecured bridge loan and revolving credit facilities to fund the $2.992 billion liability, placing the proceeds in escrow for the benefit of the class.

        During 2007, we completed the sale of the AIJ business for $42 million in net cash proceeds. Additionally, during 2007, we received $271 million due to the liquidation of investments in a rabbi trust, as well as $136 million in restitution payments owed by former executives as described above.

        We continue to fund capital expenditures to improve the cost structure of our businesses, to invest in new processes and technology, and to maintain high quality production standards. Capital spending increased to $669 million in 2007 from $558 million in 2006. The level of capital expenditures in 2008 is expected to exceed spending levels in 2007 and is also expected to exceed depreciation.

        In September 2007, Tyco's Board of Directors approved a new $1.0 billion share repurchase program under which, we repurchased 1.3 million common shares for $56 million. During the first quarter of 2007 we repurchased 5 million common shares for $659 million completing the $2.0 billion share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors in May 2006. This followed the repurchase of 13 million common shares for $1.3 billion in 2006. Additionally during 2006, we completed the $1.5 billion share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors in July of 2005 with the repurchase of 11 million common shares for $1.2 billion.

        In 2006, we commenced the termination of our interest rate and cross currency swaps, which were designated as fair value hedges. During 2007, we terminated the remaining swaps. Such terminations resulted in a net cash inflow of $63 million.

        During the first quarter of 2007, we launched a $350 million to $400 million company-wide restructuring program. During 2007, 2006 and 2005 we paid out $70 million, $32 million and $103 million, respectively, in cash related to restructuring activities. See Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our restructuring activities.

        Income taxes paid, net of refunds, related to continuing operations was $650 million in 2007, which included $295 million of legacy tax liability payments of amounts not yet due to the IRS in respect of their examination of our 1997 through 2000 U.S. federal income tax returns (the ultimate resolution of which is uncertain).

        During 2007, 2006 and 2005, Tyco paid $409 million, $373 million and $328 million of cash, respectively, to acquire approximately 415,000, 401,000 and 364,000 customer contracts for electronic security services through the ADT dealer program.

        During 2007, 2006 and 2005, we paid $10 million, $7 million and $14 million, respectively, in cash for purchase accounting and holdback liabilities. Holdback liabilities represent a portion of the purchase price withheld from the seller pending finalization of the acquisition balance sheet and other contingencies. At September 28, 2007 holdback liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets were $16 million, which are included in other liabilities. At September 28, 2007, $14 million of acquisition liabilities remained on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, of which $4 million are included in accrued and other current liabilities and $10 million are included in other liabilities.

        As previously discussed, effective June 29, 2007, the Company completed the Separation. In connection with the Separation, we paid $349 million in Separation costs during 2007 and $96 million in 2006, including $256 million and $77 million, respectively, recorded in cash provided by discontinued operating activities. We expect that we will incur the remaining cash outflows related to the Separation during the first six months of fiscal 2008. These amounts will primarily consist of tax restructuring, professional services and employee-related costs.

Capitalization

        Shareholders' equity was $15.6 billion or $31.50 per share, at September 28, 2007, compared to $35.4 billion or $71.06 per share, at September 29, 2006. Shareholders' equity decreased $19.8 billion primarily due to the distribution of Covidien and Tyco Electronics to shareholders. This decrease was also due to net loss of $1.7 billion, the repurchase of common shares by a subsidiary of $727 million, and dividends declared of $668 million, offset by favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $883 million.

        In connection with the Separation, as approved by our Board of Directors, we executed a reverse stock split, and as a result, four Tyco shares were converted into one share. Shareholder approval was obtained at the March 8, 2007 Special General Meeting of Shareholders.

        Our debt levels decreased significantly as compared to September 29, 2006 primarily due to the debt tenders and Covidien and Tyco Electronics assuming their portion of related borrowings. At September 28, 2007, total debt decreased $5.1 billion to $4.5 billion, as compared to $9.6 billion at September 29, 2006. Total debt as a percentage of total capitalization (total debt and shareholders' equity) was 22% at September 28, 2007, which increased slightly as compared to 21% at September 29, 2006 due to the decrease in shareholders' equity mentioned above. See Debt Tenders and Bank and Revolving Credit Facilities below for further discussion.

        Our cash balance decreased to $1.9 billion at September 28, 2007, as compared to $2.2 billion at September 29, 2006. The decrease in cash was primarily due to the debt repayments referred to above and the class action settlement escrow. These decreases were partially offset by cash flows provided by operations and transfers from discontinued operations.

        As previously discussed, in September 2007, the Board of Directors approved a new $1.0 billion share repurchase program. Pursuant to the program, we may repurchase Tyco shares from time to time in open market purchases at prevailing market prices, in negotiated transactions off the market, or pursuant to an approved 10b5-1 trading plan in accordance with applicable regulations. A Rule 10b5-1 trading plan permits the Company to repurchase its shares during periods when the Company would not normally be active in the trading market due to insider trading laws, provided the plan is adopted when the Company is not aware of material non-public information. Under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, we would be unable to repurchase shares above a pre-determined price per share. Additionally, the maximum number of shares that we may purchase each day would be governed by Rule 10b-18.

        Dividend payments were $791 million in 2007. On September 13, 2007 Tyco's Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend on the Company's common shares of $0.15 per share payable on November 1, 2007 to shareholders of record of Tyco International Ltd. post Separation on October 1, 2007. The timing, declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of our common shares, however, falls within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors, including the statutory requirements of Bermuda law, our financial condition and results of operations, the capital requirements of our businesses, industry practice and any other factors the Board of Directors deems relevant.

71



Debt Tenders

        On April 27, 2007, we announced that, in connection with the Separation, we and certain of our subsidiaries that are issuers of our corporate debt had commenced tender offers to purchase for cash substantially all of our outstanding U.S. dollar denominated public debt, aggregating approximately $6.6 billion. Of this amount, approximately $5.9 billion was non-convertible U.S. debt and $750 million was convertible U.S. debt, with maturities from 2007 to 2029. In conjunction with the tender offers, the relevant issuer solicited consents for certain clarifying amendments to the indentures pursuant to which the debt was issued. We received acceptance notices for approximately $2.1 billion, or 36% of our outstanding non-convertible U.S. debt and approximately $726 million or 97% of our outstanding convertible U.S. debt. Debt which was not tendered in an amount of approximately $3.8 billion remains with us.

        Additionally, Tyco International Group S.A., our wholly-owned subsidiary organized under the laws of Luxembourg ("TIGSA"), commenced on April 30, 2007 tender offers to purchase for cash all of its outstanding Euro and Pound Sterling denominated public debt, aggregating the equivalent of approximately $1.9 billion, with maturities from 2008 to 2031, issued under its Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the "EMTN Notes") and a consent solicitation for certain clarifying amendments to the fiscal agency agreement pursuant to which the EMTN Notes were issued. We received acceptance notices for approximately $1.5 billion, or 80% of our EMTN Notes. The remaining EMTN Notes were repurchased pursuant to an optional redemption.

        In connection with the debt tender offers, we incurred a pre-tax charge for the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $647 million, for which no tax benefit is available (see Note 5).

        TIGSA's remaining debt was contributed to Tyco International Finance S.A. ("TIFSA"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and successor company to TIGSA.

Bank and Revolving Credit Facilities

        On April 25, 2007, we, certain of our subsidiaries and a syndicate of banks entered into three 364-day unsecured bridge loan facilities with an aggregate commitment amount of $10 billion. At the end of May 2007, the aggregate commitment amount under these facilities was increased to $12.5 billion. We borrowed approximately $8.9 billion under the unsecured bridge loan facilities to fund our debt tender offers, repay our existing bank credit facilities and to finance the class action settlement. Of this amount, approximately $4.3 billion and $3.6 billion was assigned to Covidien and Tyco Electronics, respectively. We initially guaranteed the new unsecured bridge loan facilities and Covidien and Tyco Electronics each assumed Tyco's obligations with respect to their unsecured bridge loan facilities upon the Separation. We no longer guarantee those assumed amounts. This facility has a variable interest rate based on LIBOR. The margin over LIBOR payable by TIFSA can vary based on changes in our credit rating. As of September 28, 2007, our aggregate commitment under our unsecured bridge loan facility was $4.0 billion and $367 million remained outstanding with a weighted-average interest rate of 5.5%.

        On October 1, 2007, the commitments with respect to the unused portion of our unsecured bridge loan facility expired. Our unsecured revolving credit facility described below and our letter of credit facility described in Commitments and Contingencies—Contractual Obligations, provide the lenders under those facilities with the right to demand repayment of outstanding amounts, and to terminate commitments to extend additional credit, if (i) certain of our outstanding public debt is declared due and payable and (ii) we do not have sufficient liquidity available under our unsecured bridge loan facility to refinance such debt. As a result, on November 27, 2007, we secured additional firm commitments from certain of our lenders under the bridge loan facility. These additional commitments provide us with sufficient liquidity to repay the outstanding public debt with borrowings of up to

72



$4.0 billion. The additional commitments expire on, and any borrowings under the facility would mature on, November 25, 2008. The facility may only be used to repay, settle or otherwise extinguish the public debt described above, which is the subject of ongoing litigation between us and The Bank of New York. For more information regarding such litigation, see Item 3. Legal Proceedings—Indenture Trustee Litigation.

        Additionally, on April 25, 2007, we, certain of our subsidiaries and a syndicate of banks entered into three unsecured revolving credit facilities with an initial aggregate commitment amount of $2.5 billion that increased to $4.25 billion at the time of the Separation. Of the aggregate commitment amount of $4.25 billion, a $1.25 billion commitment is available to us, and a $1.5 billion commitment was available to each of Covidien and Tyco Electronics. We will use the revolving credit facilities for working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate purposes. We initially guaranteed the new revolving credit facilities and Covidien and Tyco Electronics each assumed our obligations with respect to their revolving credit facilities upon the Separation. We no longer guarantee those assumed amounts. At September 28, 2007, we have borrowed $308 million under our unsecured revolving credit facility. This facility has a variable interest rate based on LIBOR. The margin over LIBOR payable by TIFSA can vary based on changes in our credit rating.

        The unsecured revolving credit facilities replaced TIGSA's existing $1.0 billion 5-year revolving credit facility and $1.5 billion 3-year revolving bank credit facility, which were terminated by June 1, 2007 prior to their scheduled expiration dates of December 16, 2009 and December 21, 2007, respectively. On the date of termination, no amounts were borrowed under these facilities.

        TIFSA's bank credit agreements contain customary terms and conditions, and financial covenants that limit the ratio of our debt to our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and that limit our ability to incur subsidiary debt or grant liens on our property. Our indentures contain customary covenants including limits on negative pledges, subsidiary debt and sale/leaseback transactions. None of these covenants are considered restrictive to our business. We believe we are in compliance with all of our debt covenants. The Bank of New York, as indenture trustee under indentures dated as of June 9, 1998 and November 12, 2003, is contesting whether the Separation transactions were permitted under such indentures. See Item 3. Legal Proceedings—Indenture Trustee Litigation.

        The following table details our long-term debt ratings at September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006:

Commitments and Contingencies

Contractual Obligations

        Contractual obligations and commitments for principal debt, minimum lease payment obligations under non-cancelable operating leases and other obligations at September 28, 2007 is as follows ($ in millions):

(1)
Excludes interest.

(2)
Excludes debt discount and swap activity.

(3)
Purchase obligations consist of commitments for purchases of good and services.

(4)
Other long-term liabilities primarily consist of the following: pension and postretirement costs, income taxes, warranty and environmental liabilities and are excluded from this table. We are unable to estimate the timing of payment for these items due to the inherent uncertainties of obligations of this type. The minimum required contributions to our pension plans are expected to be approximately $69 million in 2008 and we expect to pay $7 million in 2008 related to postretirement benefit plans.

        At September 28, 2007, TIFSA had unsecured credit facilities of $1.25 billion due April 25, 2012, of which approximately $0.9 billion was undrawn and available (see Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). In addition, certain of the Company's operating subsidiaries have uncommitted overdraft and similar types of facilities, which total $55 million, of which $51 million was undrawn and available. These facilities expire at various dates through the year 2009, most of which are renewable and are established primarily within our international operations.

        On June 21, 2007, Tyco and TIFSA entered into a new $500 million letter of credit facility, with Citibank N.A. as administrative agent, expiring on December 15, 2007. The facility provides for the issuance of letters of credit, supported by a related line of credit facility. TIFSA may only borrow under the line of credit agreement to reimburse the bank for obligations with respect to letters of credit issued under this facility. The covenants under this facility are substantially similar to the covenants under the bridge loan and revolving credit facilities. TIFSA would pay interest on any outstanding borrowings at a variable interest rate, based on the bank's base rate or the Eurodollar rate, as defined. As of September 28, 2007, letters of credit of $494 million have been issued under the $500 million credit facility and $6 million remains available for issuance. There were no amounts borrowed under this credit facility at September 28, 2007. On October 19, 2007, the facility was amended. The amendment extended the maturity date to June 15, 2008 and adjusted the interest rate spreads and fees applicable to extensions of credit thereunder. Loans under the amended letter of credit agreement will continue to bear interest based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin.

        At September 28, 2007, the Company had total outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees of $1.1 billion.

        In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into a liability sharing agreement regarding certain class actions that were pending against Tyco prior to the Separation. Subject to the

74



terms and conditions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Company will manage and control all the legal matters related to assumed contingent liabilities as described in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, including the defense or settlement thereof, subject to certain limitations.

        Tyco has assumed 27%, Covidien has assumed 42% and Tyco Electronics has assumed 31% of certain Tyco pre-Separation contingent and other corporate liabilities, which include securities class action litigation, ERISA class action litigation, certain legacy tax contingencies and any actions with respect to the spin-offs or the distributions made or brought by any third party except for litigation related to our public debt. Any amounts relating to these contingent and other corporate liabilities paid by Tyco after the spin-offs that are subject to the allocation provisions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement will be shared among Tyco, Covidien and Tyco Electronics pursuant to the same allocation ratio. As described in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Tyco, Tyco Electronics and Covidien are jointly and severally liable for all amounts relating to the previously disclosed securities class action settlement. All costs and expenses that Tyco incurs in connection with the defense of such litigation, other than the amount of any judgment or settlement, which will be allocated in the manner described above, will be borne equally by Covidien, Tyco Electronics and Tyco.

Legal Matters

Class Actions

        For a detailed discussion of contingencies related to Tyco's securities class actions, class action settlement, securities class action proceedings, shareholder derivative litigation, ERISA related litigation, Tyco litigation against former senior management, litigation related to our public debt and various other legal matters, see Item 3. Legal Proceedings. We are generally obligated to indemnify our directors and officers and our former directors and officers who are named as defendants in some or all of these matters to the extent required by Bermuda law. In addition, our insurance carriers may decline coverage, or our coverage may be insufficient to cover our expenses and liability, in some or all of these matters. While we may from time to time seek to engage plaintiff's counsel in settlement discussions, we are unable at this time to estimate what our ultimate liability in these matters may be, and it is possible that we will be required to pay judgments or settlements and incur expenses, in excess of any insurance coverage, in aggregate amounts that could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Investigations

        For a detailed discussion of contingencies related to governmental investigations related to Tyco, see Item 3. Legal Proceedings—Subpoenas and Document Requests From Governmental Entities. We cannot predict when these investigations will be completed, nor can we predict what the results of these investigations may be. It is possible that we will be required to pay material fines, consent to injunctions on future conduct, lose the ability to conduct business with government entities or instrumentalities (which in turn could negatively impact our business with non-governmental customers) or suffer other penalties or adverse impacts, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. It is not possible to estimate the amount of loss, or range of possible loss, if any, that might result from an adverse resolution of these matters.

Environmental Matters

        For a detailed discussion of contingencies related to Tyco's environmental matters, see Item 1. Business—Environmental Matters.

75


Asbestos Matters

        Tyco and some of its subsidiaries and certain subsidiaries of Covidien are named as defendants in personal injury lawsuits based on alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Covidien has assumed all liabilities for pending cases filed against Covidien's subsidiaries. Consistent with the national trend of increased asbestos-related litigation, the Company has observed an increase in the number of these lawsuits in the past several years. A limited number of the cases allege premises liability, based on claims that individuals were exposed to asbestos while on a subsidiary's property. A majority of the cases involve product liability claims, based principally on allegations of past distribution of heat-resistant industrial products incorporating asbestos or the past distribution of industrial valves that incorporated asbestos-containing gaskets or packing. Each case typically names between dozens to hundreds of corporate defendants.

        Tyco's involvement in asbestos cases has been limited because its subsidiaries did not mine or produce asbestos. Furthermore, in the Company's experience, a large percentage of these claims were never substantiated and have been dismissed by the courts. The Company will continue to vigorously defend the lawsuits that have been filed against it and its subsidiaries. To date, the Company has not suffered an adverse verdict in a trial court proceeding related to asbestos claims. When appropriate, the Company settles claims; however, the total amount paid in any year to settle and defend all asbestos claims has been immaterial. As of September 28, 2007, there were approximately 5,600 asbestos liability cases pending against the Company and its subsidiaries.

        The Company estimates its pending asbestos claims that were incurred but not reported, as well as related insurance and indemnification recoveries. The Company's estimate of the liability for pending and future claims is based on claim experience over the past five years and covers claims expected to be filed over the next seven years. The Company believes that it has adequate amounts recorded related to these matters. While it is not possible at this time to determine with certainty the ultimate outcome of these asbestos-related proceedings, the Company believes that the final outcome of all known and anticipated future claims, after taking into account its substantial indemnification rights and insurance coverage, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Income Taxes

        Tyco and its subsidiaries' income tax returns periodically are examined by various tax authorities. In connection with these examinations, tax authorities, including the IRS, have raised issues and proposed tax adjustments. The Company is reviewing and contesting certain of the proposed tax adjustments. Amounts related to these tax adjustments and other tax contingencies and related interest that management has assessed as probable and estimable have been recorded. For a detailed discussion of contingencies related to Tyco's income taxes, see Item 3. Legal Proceedings—Income Tax Matters.

Compliance Matters

        Tyco has received and responded to various allegations and other information that certain improper payments were made by Tyco subsidiaries in recent years. As previously reported, we have been informed that two subsidiaries in our Flow Control business in Italy have been named in a request for criminal charges filed by the Milan public prosecutor's office. Tyco has reported to the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") and the SEC the investigative steps and remedial measures that it has taken in response to the allegations. Tyco also informed the DOJ and the SEC that it has retained outside counsel to perform a company-wide baseline review of its policies, controls and practices with respect to compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"), that it would continue to make periodic progress reports to these agencies, and that it would present its factual findings upon conclusion of the baseline review. The Company has and will continue to communicate with the DOJ

76



and SEC to provide updates on the baseline review being conducted by outside counsel, including, as appropriate, briefings concerning additional instances of potential improper payments identified by the Company in the course of its ongoing compliance activities. Covidien and Tyco Electronics agreed, in connection with the Separation, to cooperate with the Company in its response to these allegations. To date, the baseline review has revealed that some business practices may not comply with Tyco and FCPA requirements. At this time, Tyco cannot predict the outcome of these matters and other allegations reported to regulatory and law enforcement authorities and therefore cannot estimate the range of potential loss or extent of risk, if any, that may result from an adverse resolution of these matters. However, it is possible that the Company may be required to pay judgments, suffer penalties or incur settlements in amounts that may have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. For a detailed discussion of contingencies related to Tyco's compliance matters, see Item 3. Legal Proceedings—Compliance Matters.

Other Matters

        The Company is a party to a contract dispute arising from Earth Tech's contract with the City of Phoenix, Arizona for the expansion of the City's 91st Avenue Waste Water Treatment Plant. Both Earth Tech and the City of Phoenix have filed lawsuits in the local county superior court alleging the other party has breached the contract. At this time, Tyco cannot predict the outcome of this matter and therefore cannot estimate the range of potential loss or extent of risk, if any, that may result from an adverse resolution of this matter. For a detailed discussion of contingencies related to Tyco's other matters, see Item 3. Legal Proceedings—Other Matters.

        The Company is a defendant in a number of other pending legal proceedings incidental to present and former operations, acquisitions and dispositions. The Company does not expect the outcome of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Backlog

        At September 28, 2007, we had a backlog of unfilled orders of $9.1 billion, compared to a backlog of $8.2 billion at September 29, 2006. We expect that approximately 86% of our backlog at September 28, 2007 will be filled during 2008. Backlog by segment at September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006 is as follows ($ in millions):

 
  2007
  2006
ADT Worldwide   $ 6,137   $ 5,776
Fire Protection Services     1,108     1,050
Flow Control     1,579     1,115
Safety Products     144     133
Electrical and Metal Products     113     101
Corporate and Other     4     3
   
 
    $ 9,085   $ 8,178
   
 

        Within ADT Worldwide, backlog increased primarily as a result of strong bookings across all regions. Backlog for ADT Worldwide also includes recurring revenue-in-force, which represents 12 months' fees for monitoring and maintenance services under contract in the security business. The amount of recurring revenue-in-force at September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006 was $3.93 billion and $3.65 billion, respectively. Backlog within Fire Protection Services increased primarily as a result of increased orders in North America. Flow Control had increased bookings mostly in the Asia-Pacific and Europe regions.

77




Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Sale of Accounts Receivable

        Certain of Tyco's international businesses utilize the sale of accounts receivable as short-term financing mechanisms. The aggregate amount outstanding under the Company's remaining international accounts receivable programs was $76 million, $75 million and $79 million at September 28, 2007, September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005, respectively.

Guarantees

        Certain of the Company's business segments have guaranteed the performance of third-parties and provided financial guarantees for uncompleted work and financial commitments. The terms of these guarantees vary with end dates ranging from 2008 through the completion of such transactions. The guarantees would be triggered in the event of nonperformance and the potential exposure for nonperformance under the guarantees would not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        There are certain guarantees or indemnifications extended among Tyco, Covidien and Tyco Electronics in accordance with the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement and the Tax Sharing Agreement. At the time of the Separation, Tyco recorded a liability necessary to recognize the fair value of such guarantees and indemnifications in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation ("FIN") No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." Fair values were determined with the assistance of a third party valuation firm. The liability necessary to reflect the fair value of these guarantees and indemnifications is $543 million, which is included in other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The guarantees primarily relate to certain contingent tax liabilities included in the Tax Sharing Agreement. See Note 16 for further discussion of the Tax Sharing Agreement.

        In addition, Tyco historically provided support in the form of financial and/or performance guarantees to various Covidien and Tyco Electronics operating entities. In connection with the Separation, the Company worked with the guarantee counterparties to cancel or assign these guarantees to Covidien or Tyco Electronics. To the extent these guarantees were not assigned prior to the Separation date, Tyco assumed primary liability on any remaining support. The estimated fair values of those obligations are $7 million, which are included in other liabilities with an offset to shareholders' equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and were recorded in accordance with FIN No. 45.

        In disposing of assets or businesses, the Company often provides representations, warranties and/or indemnities to cover various risks including, for example, unknown damage to the assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability to investigate and remediate environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. The Company does not have the ability to estimate the potential liability from such indemnities because they relate to unknown conditions. However, the Company has no reason to believe that these uncertainties would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        The Company has recorded liabilities for known indemnifications included as part of environmental liabilities. See Item 1. Business—Environmental Matters for a discussion of these liabilities.

        In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

78


        The Company records estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale. For further information on estimated product warranty, see Notes 1 and 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

        In 2001, a division of Safety Products initiated a Voluntary Replacement Program ("VRP") associated with the acquisition of Central Sprinkler. The VRP relates to the replacement of certain O-ring seal sprinkler heads which were originally manufactured by Central Sprinkler prior to Tyco's acquisition. Under this program, the sprinkler heads are being replaced free of charge to property owners. In the third quarter of 2006, the Company completed a comprehensive review of reported claims, recent claim rates and cost trends and further assessed the future of the program. The Company determined that an additional liability was necessary in order to satisfy the Company's obligation under the VRP. As a result, the Company recorded a $100 million charge which was reflected in cost of sales. On May 1, 2007, the Consumer Products Safety Commission and the Company announced an August 31, 2007 deadline for filing claims to participate in the VRP. The Company will fulfill all valid claims for replacement of qualifying sprinklers received up to August 31, 2007. During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company further assessed the expected cost to complete the program in light of the most current claims data and determined that an additional accrual of $10 million was necessary to satisfy the estimated remaining obligation. The ultimate cost to complete the program will be impacted by a number of factors such as changes in material and labor costs, and the actual number of sprinkler heads replaced. Actual results could differ from this estimate. Settlements during 2007 include cash expenditures of $38 million related to the VRP.


Accounting Pronouncements

        Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements—In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)." SFAS No. 158 requires that employers recognize the funded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans as a net asset or liability on the balance sheet and recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period but are not recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost. Under SFAS No. 158, companies are required to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of their fiscal year end. The Company presently uses a measurement date of August 31st. SFAS No. 158 also requires additional disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. The recognition provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for fiscal 2007, while the measurement date provisions become effective in fiscal 2009. The Company adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 158 as of September 28, 2007. The Company recognized a net $111 million liability through a reduction in shareholders' equity.

        In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements." SAB No. 108 requires that companies utilize a "dual approach" in assessing the quantitative effects of financial statement misstatements. The dual approach includes both an income statement focused and balance sheet focused assessment. SAB No. 108 is effective for Tyco in fiscal 2007. The implementation of SAB No. 108 did not have a material impact on Tyco's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

        Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." SFAS No. 159 permits an entity, on a contract-by-contract basis, to make an irrevocable election to account for certain types of financial instruments and warranty and insurance contracts at fair value, rather than historical cost, with changes in the fair value, whether realized or unrealized, recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for Tyco in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

79



The Company is currently assessing the impact that SFAS No. 159 will have on the results of its operations, financial position or cash flows.

        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," which enhances existing guidance for measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for Tyco beginning in fiscal 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 157 will have on the results of its operations, financial position or cash flows.

        In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109." This Interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. FIN No. 48 is effective for Tyco in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company is currently implementing and assessing the expected impact of adopting FIN No. 48. Based on the assessment to date, management does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on the results of its operations, financial position or cash flows.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        In the ordinary course of conducting business, we are exposed to certain risks associated with potential changes in market conditions. These risks include fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. Accordingly, we have established a comprehensive risk management process to monitor, evaluate and manage the principal exposures we assume. We seek to manage these risks through the use of financial derivative instruments. Our portfolio of derivative financial instruments may, from time to time, include forward foreign currency exchange contracts, cross currency swaps, foreign currency options, and interest rate swaps. Derivative financial instruments related to interest rate sensitivity of debt obligations, intercompany cross border transactions and anticipated non-functional currency cash flows are used with the goal of mitigating a significant portion of these exposures when it is cost effective to do so.

        We do not execute transactions or utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Further, to reduce the risk that a counterparty will be unable to honor its contractual obligations to us, we only enter into contracts with counterparties having at least an A/A2 long-term debt rating. These counterparties are generally financial institutions and there is no significant concentration of exposure with any one party.

        During fiscal year 2007, the Company elected to change its presentation of market risk information from a tabular format to a disclosure based on the results of sensitivity analysis. Management believes this method of presentation provides more useful information for assessing the Company's overall exposure to market risks. The results of our sensitivity analysis represent an estimate of reasonably possible outcomes based on hypothetical market conditions and are not necessarily indicative of actual results. Although, there were no material changes in our primary risk exposures and risk management activities, our level of exposure decreased across all risk categories as a result of the spin-off of our Healthcare and Electronics businesses.

81


Foreign Currency Exposures

        We economically hedge our exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates through the use of forward foreign exchange contracts and options. During 2007, our largest exposures to foreign exchange rates existed primarily with the British Pound, Euro, Brazilian Real, Australian Dollar and Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar. The market risk related to the forward foreign exchange contracts is measured by estimating the potential impact of a 10% change in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to the local currency exchange rates. The rates used to perform this analysis were based on the market rates in effect on September 28, 2007. A 10% appreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency exchange rates would result in a $248 million net increase in the fair value of the contracts. Conversely, a 10% depreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency exchange rates would result in a $303 million net decrease in the fair value of the contracts. However, gains or losses on these derivative instruments are economically offset by the gains or losses on the underlying transactions.

        Previously, we hedged our investment in certain foreign operations. In December 2006, due to required changes to the legal entity structure to facilitate the Separation, the Company determined that it will no longer consider certain intercompany foreign currency transactions to be long-term investments. As a result, the related foreign currency transaction gains and losses on such investments were recorded in the income statement subsequent to this determination rather than to the currency translation component of shareholders' equity. Forward contracts that were previously designated as hedges of these net investments continued to be used to manage this exposure but were no longer designated as net investment hedges.

        Also in connection with the Separation and the debt tender, the Company de-designated its 6.125% Euro denominated public notes due 2007 on March 29, 2007, its 5.5% Euro denominated public notes due 2008 and its 6.5% British Pound denominated public notes due 2031 on May 21, 2007, that had previously been considered as hedges of net investments in certain foreign operations. At September 28, 2007, the Company did not hedge its net investment in foreign operations, and all of its outstanding borrowings were denominated in U.S. dollars.

Interest Rate Exposures

        Our long-term debt portfolio primarily consists of fixed-rate instruments. Historically, the Company managed its exposure to interest rates by entering into interest rate and cross-currency swaps designated as fair value hedges. In assessing the potential risks related to movements in interest rates, we terminated the interest rate and cross-currency swaps in several tranches beginning in the fourth quarter of 2006. During the first quarter of 2007, we terminated the remaining contracts with a total notional amount of $0.6 billion, resulting in an aggregate terminated notional amount of $3.1 billion. The settlement of these swaps resulted in a net cash inflow of $63 million for the first quarter of 2007. Since the interest rate swaps were designated as hedging instruments of outstanding debt, the related $32 million loss adjustment to the carrying value of the related debt will be amortized over the remaining life of the related debt instruments. In connection with the debt tender offer, $9 million of unamortized loss on interest rate swaps was accelerated and recorded as a loss on retirement of debt and included in other expense, net (see Note 13). At September 28, 2007 there were no interest rate swaps outstanding.

Commodity Exposures

        We are exposed to volatility in the prices of raw materials used in some of our products and may, in limited circumstances, enter into hedging contracts to manage those exposures. These exposures are monitored as an integral part of our risk management program. At September 28, 2007, the Company did not hedge its exposure attributable to changes in commodity prices but may consider such strategies in the future.

Item 9.    Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

        We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

        Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 28, 2007, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting, relating to accounting for income taxes, which we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures.

83


        Over the past five years, significant internal control, informational systems and process improvements have been implemented in our tax accounting processes, including certain recently implemented controls in response to the identified material weakness. During the third and fourth quarters of 2007, the following significant changes were made to our internal controls over financial reporting:

    Hired additional experienced personnel to augment tax accounting resources;

    Implemented enhanced review and analytical procedures to evaluate accuracy of various tax accounts;

    Improved process for gathering and reviewing tax jurisdictional information; and

    Strengthened the organizational linkage between the Tax department and the Controller's group, and substantially improved communication and information flows between the two teams.

        While progress has been made, several new tax accounting and control procedures have only recently been implemented and our current environment is still characterized by a highly complex structure of approximately 1,200 legal entities. In light of this, the Company believes the material weakness relating to accounting for income taxes has not been remediated and the Company plans to implement further improvements to achieve appropriate levels of controls, reliability and sustainability in this area.

        In addition to the above, we continue to proactively identify opportunities for control improvements. We have ongoing initiatives to standardize, consolidate and upgrade various financial operating systems and eliminate many of the manual and redundant tasks previously performed under older systems or processes. These changes will be implemented in stages over the next several years.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

        Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company's assets, (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Company's receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company's management and directors and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

        Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

        Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 28, 2007. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Management's assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Company's internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. Management reviewed the results of its assessment with the Audit

84



Committee of our Board of Directors. Based on our assessment, we believe that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as a result of a material weakness related to certain aspects of accounting for income taxes as of September 28, 2007.

        A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have determined that further improvements are required in our tax accounting processes before we can consider the material weakness remediated. Management's procedures and testing identified errors that, although not material to the consolidated financial statements, led management to conclude that control deficiencies exist related to tax effecting consolidating entries, analysis and reconciliation of taxes receivable and taxes payable in non-U.S. jurisdictions, certain aspects of deferred taxes, and procedures with respect to classification of tax amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. As a result of these deficiencies, it is reasonably possible that internal controls over financial reporting may not have prevented or detected errors from occurring that could have been material, either individually or in the aggregate.

        Our internal control over financial reporting as of September 28, 2007, has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited and reported on the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K, and their report is also included in this Form 10-K.

November 27, 2007

Remediation Plan

        Over the next year, we will continue to focus on our internal controls over accounting for income taxes, and will take further steps to those mentioned earlier to strengthen controls, including the following planned actions:

    Further enhancements to policies and procedures relating to tax account reconciliation and analysis;

    Additional hiring of tax accounting resources;

    Training, guidance and communications to information providers regarding tax accounting requirements;

    Comprehensive review of our tax accounting process and close procedures to identify areas that require further improvements; and

    Enhanced monitoring of tax accounting submissions and tax account balances of our legal entities globally.

MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Discussion of Management's Responsibility

        We are responsible for the preparation, integrity and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements and related information appearing in this report. We take these responsibilities very seriously and are committed to being recognized as a leader in governance, controls, clarity and transparency of financial statements. We are committed to making honesty, integrity and transparency the hallmarks of how we run Tyco. We believe that to succeed in today's environment requires more than just compliance with laws and regulations—it requires a culture based upon the highest levels of integrity and ethical values. Expected behavior starts with our Board of Directors and our senior team leading by example and includes every one of Tyco's 118,000 global employees, as well as our customers, suppliers and business partners. One of our most crucial objectives is continuing to maintain and build on the public, employee and shareholder confidence that has been restored in Tyco. We believe this is being accomplished; first, by issuing financial information and related disclosures that are accurate, complete and transparent so investors are well informed; second, by supporting a leadership culture based on an ethic of uncompromising integrity and accountability; and third, by recruiting, training and retaining high-performance individuals who have the highest ethical standards. We take full responsibility for meeting this objective. We maintain appropriate accounting standards, and disclosure controls and devote our full commitment and the necessary resources to these items.

Dedication to Governance, Controls and Financial Reporting

        Throughout 2007, we continued to maintain and enhance internal controls over financial reporting, disclosures and corporate governance practices. We believe that a strong control environment is a dynamic process. Therefore, we intend to continue to devote the necessary resources to maintain and improve our internal controls and corporate governance.

        Our Audit Committee meets regularly and separately with management, Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent auditors, and our internal auditors to discuss financial reports, controls and auditing.

        We, our Board and our Audit Committee are all committed to excellence in governance, financial reporting and controls.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Tyco International Ltd.

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tyco International Ltd. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 28, 2007. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tyco International Ltd. and subsidiaries as of September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 28, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

        As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements: i) the Company changed the depreciation method and estimated useful life used to account for pooled subscriber system assets and related deferred revenue from the straight-line method with lives ranging from 10 to 14 years to an accelerated method with lives up to 15 years effective as of the beginning of the fiscal third quarter of 2007, and ii) the Company adopted the recognition and related disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) effective September 28, 2007.

        As discussed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements: i) the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 effective September 29, 2006, and ii) the Company changed the measurement date of its pension and post retirement plans from September 30 to August 31 in fiscal year 2005.

        As discussed in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, effective October 1, 2005.

        We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 28, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated November 27, 2007 expressed an adverse opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting because of a material weakness.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Tyco International Ltd.

        We have audited Tyco International Ltd. and subsidiaries' (the "Company's") internal control over financial reporting as of September 28, 2007 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

        We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on that risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

        Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

        A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management's assessment:

      The Company did not maintain effective internal controls over accounting for income taxes. Control deficiencies existed related to tax effecting consolidating entries, analysis and reconciliation of taxes receivable and taxes payable in non-U.S. jurisdictions, certain aspects of deferred taxes, and procedures with respect to classification of tax amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. The design and operation of procedural and monitoring controls may not have

97


      prevented or detected, errors from occurring that could have been material, either individually or in the aggregate.

        This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule as of and for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2007, of the Company and this report does not affect our report on such financial statements and financial statement schedule.

        In our opinion because of the effect of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 28, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

        We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended September 28, 2007 of the Company and our report dated November 27, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule and included an explanatory paragraph noting that i) the Company changed the depreciation method and estimated useful life used to account for pooled subscriber system assets and related deferred revenue from the straight-line method with lives ranging from 10 to 14 years to an accelerated method with lives up to 15 years effective as of the beginning of the fiscal third quarter of 2007 and ii) the Company adopted the recognition and related disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) effective September 28, 2007.

TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

        Basis of Presentation—The Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated accounts of Tyco International Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Bermuda, and its subsidiaries (Tyco and all its subsidiaries, hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Company" or "Tyco") and have been prepared in United States dollars and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Unless otherwise indicated, references in the Consolidated Financial Statements to 2007, 2006 and 2005 are to Tyco's fiscal year ended September 28, 2007, September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005, respectively.

        Effective June 29, 2007, Tyco completed the spin-offs of Covidien and Tyco Electronics, formerly Healthcare and Electronics businesses, respectively, into separate, publicly traded companies (the "Separation") in the form of a distribution to Tyco shareholders. The distribution was made on June 29, 2007, to Tyco shareholders of record on June 18, 2007, the record date. Each Tyco shareholder received 0.25 of a common share of each of Covidien and Tyco Electronics for each Tyco common share held on the record date. Tyco shareholders received cash in lieu of fractional shares for amounts of less than one Covidien or Tyco Electronics common share. The distribution was structured to be tax-free to Tyco shareholders except to the extent of cash received in lieu of fractional shares. While we are a party to Separation and Distribution, Tax Sharing and certain other agreements, we have determined that there is no significant continuing involvement between us and Covidien or Tyco Electronics as discussed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," and Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 03-13, "Applying the Conditions of Paragraph 42 of SFAS No. 144 in Determining Whether to Report Discontinued Operations." Therefore, we have classified Covidien and Tyco Electronics as discontinued operations in all periods presented.

        Additionally, on the distribution date, the Company, as approved by its Board of Directors, effected a reverse stock split of Tyco's common shares, at a split ratio of one for four. Shareholder approval for the reverse stock split was obtained at the March 8, 2007 Special General Meeting of Shareholders. Share and per share data for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

        During 2007 and 2006, the Company incurred pre-tax costs related to the Separation of $1,083 million and $169 million, respectively. The costs include loss on early extinguishment of debt, debt refinancing, tax restructuring, professional services and employee-related costs. Of this amount, $105 million and $49 million is included in separation costs, $259 million in 2007 related to loss on early extinguishment of debt is included in other expense, net and $719 million and $120 million is included in discontinued operations, respectively. Additionally, 2007 includes tax charges related to the Separation primarily for the write-off of deferred tax assets that will no longer be realizable of $183 million, of which $95 million is included in income taxes and $88 million is included in discontinued operations.

        In connection with the Separation, the Company has realigned its management and segment reporting structure. See Note 21.

        During the first quarter of 2007, we sold Aguas Industriales de Jose, C.A. ("AIJ"), a joint venture that was majority owned by Infrastructure Services. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2007, the remaining portion of Infrastructure Services met the held for sale criteria and its results of operations have been included in discontinued operations for all periods presented.

103



        References to the segment data are to the Company's continuing operations. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to exclude the results of discontinued operations.

        Principles of Consolidation—Tyco is a holding company which conducts its business through its operating subsidiaries. The Company consolidates companies in which it owns or controls more than fifty percent of the voting shares or has the ability to control through similar rights. Also, the Company consolidates variable interest entities in which the Company bears a majority of the risk to the entities' expected losses or stands to gain from a majority of the entities' expected returns. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The results of companies acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the effective date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal.

        Use of Estimates—The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates in these Consolidated Financial Statements include restructuring charges, allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, estimates of future cash flows associated with asset impairments, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, loss contingencies, net realizable value of inventories, fair values of financial instruments, estimated contract revenue and related costs, legal liabilities, income taxes and tax valuation allowances, and pension and postretirement employee benefit expenses. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

        Revenue Recognition—The Company recognizes revenue principally on four types of transactions—sales of products, sales of security systems, billings for monitoring and maintenance services and contract sales.

        Revenue from the sales of products is recognized at the time title and risks and rewards of ownership pass. This is generally when the products reach the free-on-board shipping point, the sales price is fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

        Provisions for certain rebates, sales incentives, trade promotions, product returns and discounts to customers are accounted for as reductions in determining sales in the same period the related sales are recorded. These provisions are based on terms of arrangements with direct, indirect and other market participants. Rebates are estimated based on sales terms, historical experience and trend analysis.

        Sales of security monitoring systems may have multiple elements, including equipment, installation, monitoring services and maintenance agreements. Amounts assigned to each component of the arrangement are based on that component's objectively determined fair value. If fair value cannot be objectively determined for a sale involving multiple elements, the Company recognizes the revenue from installation of services, along with the associated direct incremental costs, over the contract life.

        Revenue from the sale of services is recognized as services are rendered. Customer billings for services not yet rendered are deferred and recognized as revenue as the services are rendered and the associated deferred revenue is included in current liabilities or long-term liabilities, as appropriate.

        Contract sales for the installation of fire protection systems, large security intruder systems and other construction-related projects are recorded primarily under the percentage-of-completion method. Profits recognized on contracts in process are based upon estimated contract revenue and related total cost of the project at completion. The extent of progress toward completion is generally measured

104



based on the ratio of actual cost incurred to total estimated cost at completion. Revisions to cost estimates as contracts progress have the effect of increasing or decreasing profits each period. Provisions for anticipated losses are made in the period in which they become determinable. Estimated warranty costs are included in total estimated contract costs and are accrued over the construction period of the respective contracts under percentage-of-completion accounting.

        At September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006, accounts receivable and other long-term receivables included retainage provisions of $63 million in both years of which $41 million and $36 million are unbilled, respectively. These retainage provisions consist primarily of fire protection contracts and become due upon contract completion and acceptance. At September 28, 2007 the retainage provision included $62 million, that is expected to be collected during 2008.

        Research and Development—Research and development expenditures are expensed when incurred and are included in cost of product sales. Research and development expenses include salaries, direct costs incurred and building and overhead expenses. See Note 22.

        Advertising—Advertising costs are expensed when incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. See Note 22.

        Translation of Foreign Currency—For the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries that account in a functional currency other than U.S. dollars, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using year-end exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the year. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders' equity.

        Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions, including the impact of our foreign currency derivatives, reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses were $60 million, $77 million and $21 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

        Cash and Cash Equivalents—All highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less from the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.

        Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable reflects the best estimate of probable losses inherent in Tyco's receivable portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other currently available evidence.

        Inventories—Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost (primarily first-in, first-out) or market value.

        Property, Plant and Equipment, Net—Property, plant and equipment, net is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense for 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $638 million, $665 million and $676 million, respectively. Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to expense when incurred. Except for pooled subscriber systems, depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:

Buildings and related improvements   5 to 50 years
Leasehold improvements   Lesser of remaining term of the lease or economic useful life
Subscriber systems   Accelerated method up to 15 years
Other machinery, equipment and furniture and fixtures   2 to 20 years

105


        See below for discussion of depreciation method and estimated useful lives related to subscriber systems.

        Subscriber System Assets and Related Deferred Revenue Accounts—The Company generally considers assets related to the acquisition of new customers in its electronic security business in three asset categories: internally generated residential subscriber systems, internally generated commercial subscriber systems (collectively referred to as subscriber system assets) and customer accounts acquired through the ADT dealer program (referred to as dealer intangibles). Subscriber system assets include installed property, plant and equipment for which Tyco retains ownership and deferred costs directly related to the customer acquisition and system installation. Subscriber system assets and any deferred revenue resulting from the customer acquisition are accounted for over the expected life of the subscriber. In certain geographical areas where the Company has a large number of customers that behave in a similar manner over time, the Company accounts for subscriber system assets and related deferred revenue using pools, with separate pools for the components of subscriber system assets and any related deferred revenue based on the month and year of acquisition.

        Effective as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2007, Tyco changed the depreciation method and estimated useful life used to account for pooled subscriber system assets (primarily in North America) and related deferred revenue from the straight-line method with lives ranging from 10 to 14 years to an accelerated method with lives up to 15 years. The accelerated method utilizes declining balance rates based on geographical area ranging from 160% to 195% for residential subscriber pools and 145% to 265% for commercial subscriber pools and converts to a straight line methodology when the resulting depreciation charge is greater than that from the accelerated method. The Company will continue to use a straight-line method with a 14-year life for non-pooled subscriber system assets (primarily in Europe and Asia) and related deferred revenue, with remaining balances written off upon customer termination.

        The change in the method and estimated useful life used to account for pooled subscriber system assets and related deferred revenue resulted from our ongoing analysis of all pertinent factors, including actual customer attrition data specific to customer categories and geographical areas, demand, competition, and the estimated technological life of the installed systems. The pertinent factors have been influenced by management's ongoing customer retention programs, as well as tactical and strategic initiatives to improve service delivery, customer satisfaction, and the credit worthiness of the subscriber customer base. In accordance with SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Correction," the change in method used to account for pooled subscriber system assets and related deferred revenue accounts represents a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle and is accounted for prospectively. The change in method is based on information obtained by continued observation of the expected benefits inherent in the pooled subscriber system assets by customer category and is preferable, as it results in depreciation and amortization that are more reflective of the pattern of expected benefits derived from these assets. All pertinent factors, including actual customer attrition data specific to customer categories and geographical areas, demand, competition, and the estimated technological life of the installed systems, will continue to be reviewed by the Company at each balance sheet date to assess the continued appropriateness of methods and estimated useful lives.

106


        The effects of the change described above decreased net revenue by $21 million, decreased depreciation expense by $37 million, and decreased loss from continuing operations and net loss by $10 million each and increased basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.02 for 2007.

        Long-Lived Assets—Tyco reviews long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be fully recoverable. Tyco performs undiscounted operating cash flow analyses to determine if impairment exists. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment for assets held for use, Tyco groups assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identified. If an impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed of, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less costs of disposal.

        Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets—Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment annually and more frequently if triggering events occur (see Note 11). In performing these assessments, management relies on various factors, including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, comparable transactions and other market data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The Company performed its annual impairment tests for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets on the first day of the fourth quarter of 2007.

        When testing for goodwill impairment, the Company first compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered potentially impaired and further tests are performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. In the second step of the goodwill impairment test, the Company compares the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill. If the carrying amount of reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the carrying amount of goodwill over its implied fair value. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner that the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination is determined. The Company allocates the fair value of a reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit, including intangible assets, as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Any excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities represents the implied fair value of goodwill.

        Dealer and Other Amortizable Intangible Assets, Net—Intangible assets primarily include contracts and related customer relationships and intellectual property. Certain contracts and related customer relationships result from purchasing residential security monitoring contracts from an external network of independent dealers who operate under the ADT dealer program. Acquired contracts and related customer relationships are recorded at their contractually determined purchase price.

        During the first six months (twelve months in certain circumstances) after the purchase of the customer contract, any cancellation of monitoring service, including those that result from customer payment delinquencies, results in a chargeback by the Company to the dealer for the full amount of the contract purchase price. The Company records the amount charged back to the dealer as a reduction of the previously recorded intangible asset.

        Intangible assets arising from the ADT dealer program described above are amortized in pools determined by the month of contract acquisition on an accelerated basis over the period and pattern of

107



economic benefit that is expected to be obtained from the customer relationship. Effective as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2007, Tyco changed the estimated useful life of dealer intangibles in geographical areas comprising approximately 90% of the net carrying value of dealer intangibles from 12 to 15 years. The Company continues to amortize dealer intangible assets on an accelerated basis. The change in the estimated useful life used to account for dealer intangibles resulted from our ongoing analysis of all pertinent factors, including actual customer attrition data, demand, competition, and the estimated technological life of the installed systems. The pertinent factors have been influenced by management's ongoing customer retention programs, as well as tactical and strategic initiatives to improve service delivery, customer satisfaction, and the credit worthiness of the subscriber customer base. In accordance with SFAS No. 154, the change in estimated useful life of dealer intangibles is accounted for prospectively. The effect of the change in estimated useful life for dealer intangibles decreased loss from continuing operations and net loss by $6 million each and increased basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.01 for 2007.

        Other contracts and related customer relationships, as well as intellectual property consisting primarily of patents, trademarks and unpatented technology, are amortized on a straight-line basis over four to forty years. The Company evaluates the amortization methods and remaining useful lives of intangible assets on a periodic basis to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the amortization method or remaining useful lives.

        Investments—The Company invests in debt and equity securities. Long-term investments in marketable equity securities that represent less than twenty percent ownership are marked to market at the end of each accounting period. Unrealized gains and losses are credited or charged to other comprehensive income within shareholders' equity for available for sale securities unless an unrealized loss is deemed to be other than temporary, in which case such loss is charged to earnings. Management determines the proper classification of investments in debt obligations with fixed maturities and equity securities for which there is a readily determinable market value at the time of purchase and reevaluates such classifications as of each balance sheet date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

        Other equity investments for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence and for which there is not a readily determinable market value are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Each reporting period, the Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of its investments accounted for under the cost method of accounting, such that they are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. For equity investments in which the Company exerts significant influence over operating and financial policies but do not control, the equity method of accounting is used. The Company's share of net income or losses of equity investments is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and was not material in any period presented.

        Product Warranty—The Company records estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale. Manufactured products are warranted against defects in material and workmanship when properly used for their intended purpose, installed correctly, and appropriately maintained. Generally, product warranties are implicit in the sale; however, the customer may purchase an extended warranty. Manufactured equipment is also warranted in the same manner as product warranties. However, in most instances the warranty is either negotiated in the contract or sold as a separate component. Warranty period terms range from 90 days (e.g., various products) up to 15 years (e.g., pressure reducers and floor heating products). The warranty liability is determined based on historical information such as past experience, product failure rates or number of units repaired, estimated cost of material and labor, and in certain instances estimated property damage.

108



        Environmental Costs—Tyco is subject to laws and regulations relating to protecting the environment. Tyco provides for expenses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such amounts are probable and can be reasonably estimated.

        Income Taxes—Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the book and tax bases of particular assets and liabilities and operating loss carryforwards, using tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided to offset deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

        Insurable Liabilities—The Company records liabilities for its workers' compensation, product, general and auto liabilities. The determination of these liabilities and related expenses is dependent on claims experience. For most of these liabilities, claims incurred but not yet reported are estimated by utilizing actuarial valuations based upon historical claims experience. Certain insurable liabilities are discounted using a risk-free rate of return when the pattern and timing of the future obligation is reliably determinable. The impact of the discount on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006 was to reduce the obligation by $38 million and $47 million, respectively. The Company maintains captive insurance companies to manage certain of its insurable liabilities. Additionally, the Company records receivables from third party insurers when recovery has been determined to be probable.

        Financial Instruments—The Company may use interest rate swaps, currency swaps and forward and option contracts to manage risks generally associated with foreign exchange rate and interest rate risk. Derivatives used for hedging purposes are designated and effective as a hedge of the identified risk exposure at the inception of the contract. Accordingly, changes in fair value of the derivative contract are highly correlated with changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged item at inception of the hedge over the life of the hedge contract.

        All derivative financial instruments are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Derivatives used to economically hedge foreign currency denominated balance sheet items are reported in selling, general and administrative expenses along with offsetting transaction gains and losses on the items being hedged. Gains and losses on net investment hedges are included in the cumulative translation adjustment component of other comprehensive income to the extent they are effective. Gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified to earnings in a manner that matches the timing of the earnings impact of the hedged transactions. The ineffective portion of all hedges, if any, is recognized currently in earnings. Instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are marked to market with changes recognized in current earnings.

        Share Premium and Contributed Surplus—In accordance with the Bermuda Companies Act 1981, when Tyco issues shares for cash at a premium to their par value, the resulting premium is credited to a share premium account, a non-distributable reserve. Contributed surplus, subject to certain conditions, is a distributable reserve.

        Reclassifications—Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. In 2007, the Company presented proceeds from the divestiture of businesses classified as discontinued operations within net cash used in discontinued investing activities. Such proceeds were

109



$71 million, $866 million and $158 million for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. All prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

        Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements—In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)." SFAS No. 158 requires that employers recognize the funded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans as a net asset or liability on the balance sheet and recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period but are not recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost. Under SFAS No. 158, companies are required to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of their fiscal year end. The Company presently uses a measurement date of August 31st. SFAS No. 158 also requires additional disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. The recognition provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for fiscal 2007, while the measurement date provisions become effective in fiscal 2009. The Company adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 158 as of September 28, 2007. The Company recognized a net $111 million liability through a reduction in shareholders' equity.

        In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements." SAB No. 108 requires that companies utilize a "dual approach" in assessing the quantitative effects of financial statement misstatements. The dual approach includes both an income statement focused and balance sheet focused assessment. SAB No. 108 is effective for Tyco in fiscal 2007. The implementation of SAB No. 108 did not have a material impact on Tyco's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

        Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." SFAS No. 159 permits an entity, on a contract-by-contract basis, to make an irrevocable election to account for certain types of financial instruments and warranty and insurance contracts at fair value, rather than historical cost, with changes in the fair value, whether realized or unrealized, recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for Tyco in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact that SFAS No. 159 will have on the results of its operations, financial position or cash flows.

        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," which enhances existing guidance for measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for Tyco beginning in fiscal 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 157 will have on the results of its operations, financial position or cash flows.

        In June 2006, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation ("FIN") No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109." This Interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. FIN No. 48 is effective for Tyco in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company is currently implementing and assessing the expected impact of adopting FIN No. 48. Based on the assessment to

110



date, management does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on the results of its operations, financial position or cash flows.

2.    Discontinued Operations and Divestitures

Discontinued Operations

        During the third quarter of 2007, Tyco completed the Separation and has presented its Healthcare and Electronics businesses as discontinued operations in all periods presented.

        In each period prior to the Separation, net interest and loss on early extinguishment of debt, which is included in other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, amounts were proportionally allocated to Covidien and Tyco Electronics based on the debt amounts that Tyco believes were utilized by Covidien and Tyco Electronics historically inclusive of amounts directly incurred. Allocated net interest was calculated using our historical weighted-average interest rate on debt including the impact of interest rate swap agreements. These allocated amounts were included in discontinued operations. During 2007, allocated interest income, interest expense and other expense, net was $35 million, $242 million and $388 million, respectively. During 2006, allocated interest income, interest expense and other expense, net was $53 million, $378 million and $0 million, respectively. During 2005, allocated interest income, interest expense and other expense, net was $43 million, $433 million and $608 million, respectively.

        The Company has used available information to develop its best estimates for certain assets and liabilities related to the Separation. In limited instances, final determination of the balances will be made in subsequent periods. During the fourth quarter of 2007, $72 million was recorded through shareholders' equity, primarily related to the cash true-up adjustment and other items, as specified in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, adjustments to certain pre-Separation tax liabilities, and the impact of filing final income tax returns in certain jurisdictions where those returns include a combination of Tyco, Covidien and/or Tyco Electronics legal entities. Additional adjustments are not expected to be material and will be recorded through shareholder's equity in subsequent periods as tax returns are finalized.

        During 2007, AIJ, a joint venture that was majority owned by Infrastructure Services, was sold for $42 million in net cash proceeds and a pre-tax gain on sale of $19 million was recorded. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2007, the remaining portion of Infrastructure Services met the held for sale criteria and its results of operations have been included in discontinued operations for all periods presented. Infrastructure Services provides consulting, engineering, construction management and operating services for the water, wastewater, environmental, transportation and facilities market. The Company has assessed the recoverability of these businesses carrying values and will continue to assess recoverability based on current fair value, less cost to sell, until the businesses are sold. On September 17, 2007, the Company executed a definitive agreement to sell for approximately $295 million in cash 100% of the stock of ETEO—Empresa de Transmissao de Energia do Oeste Ltda., a Brazilian subsidiary of Infrastructure Services. The transaction is subject to Brazilian regulatory approval and normal closing conditions and is expected to close by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company expects to sell the remaining portion of Infrastructure Services by the end of fiscal 2008.

        The AIJ, Infrastructure Services, Plastics, Adhesives and Ludlow Coated Products and A&E Products businesses met the held for sale and discontinued operations criteria and have been included in discontinued operations in all periods presented.

2007 Charges and Credits

        During the first quarter of 2007, the Company launched a restructuring program across the segments including the corporate organization which will streamline some of the businesses and reduce the operational footprint. The Company expects to incur charges related to the program of approximately $350 million to $400 million through the end of 2008.

        The restructuring program includes numerous actions which are designed to improve operating efficiency and strengthen the Company's competitive position in the future. To date, many of the actions initiated relate to improving field efficiencies and consolidating certain administrative functions in the European operations of ADT Worldwide and Fire Protection Services. In addition, Corporate consolidated certain headquarter functions. The restructuring actions were largely reductions in workforce and are expected to be completed by the end of 2008.

        Net restructuring and asset impairment charges during 2007 were $217 million, which include $7 million reflected in cost of sales for the non-cash write down in carrying value of inventory. The remaining charge is comprised of restructuring charges of $199 million, which include $183 million of employee severance and benefits and $16 million of facility exit charges and other cash charges, and $15 million of asset impairments. During 2007, the Company completed restructuring activities announced in prior years for amounts less than originally estimated, and accordingly reversed $4 million of restructuring reserves as a restructuring credit.

        During 2007, the Company paid $59 million related to actions initiated in 2007 and has $127 million accrued related to these actions as of September 28, 2007.

2006 Charges and Credits

        During 2006, the Company recorded net restructuring and asset impairment charges of $13 million, which includes $11 million of employee severance and benefits and $2 million of asset impairments. The restructuring charges related to several restructuring actions and facility exit plans which were initiated in 2006 for $16 million as well as costs incurred in 2006 related to actions initiated prior to 2006 for $2 million. During 2006, the Company completed restructuring activities announced in prior years for amounts less than originally estimated, and accordingly reversed $7 million of restructuring reserves. Most of the restructuring initiatives undertaken during 2006 as well as actions taken in prior periods, which impact restructuring charges incurred during 2006, relate to the ADT Worldwide and Safety Products segments.

        Through 2007, the Company paid $14 million related to these actions and has $1 million accrued as of September 28, 2007.

2005 Charges and Credits

        During 2005, the Company recorded restructuring and asset impairment charges of $18 million, including $1 million reflected in cost of sales for the non-cash write down in carrying value of inventory. The remaining charge is comprised of restructuring charges of $28 million, which includes $13 million of employee severance and benefits, $11 million of facility exit charges and $4 million of other charges. These charges related to several restructuring actions and facility exit plans which were initiated in 2005 as well as incremental costs incurred in 2005 related to actions initiated during 2004. Of these charges, $13 million related to actions initiated and completed in 2005 while the remaining $15 million related to actions which commenced prior to 2005. During 2005, the Company completed restructuring activities announced in prior years for amounts less than originally estimated, and accordingly reversed $11 million of restructuring reserves as a restructuring credit.

        The 2005 restructuring initiatives were largely a result of actions taken by Flow Control, Safety Products and ADT Worldwide segments which incurred employee severance and benefits of $4 million, $3 million and $3 million, respectively. Through 2007, the Company has substantially paid these obligations and has less than $1 million accrued as of September 28, 2007.

114



2004 and Prior Charges and Credits

        The Company continues to maintain restructuring reserves related to certain actions initiated prior to 2005. The total amount of these reserves are $21 million and $30 million at September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006, respectively. These balances primarily include facility exit costs for long-term non-cancelable lease obligations within the ADT Worldwide and Fire Protection Services segments, with expiration dates which range from 2008 to 2022.

5.    Other Expense, Net

        Other expense, net was $255 million in 2007 and $296 million in 2005. During 2007, other expense, net consisted primarily of a $259 million loss on early extinguishment of debt incurred in connection with the debt tender offers (see Note 13), for which no tax benefit is available. This charge consists primarily of premiums paid and the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts. The total loss on early extinguishment of debt was $647 million, with $259 million included in continuing operations and $388 million allocated to Covidien and Tyco Electronics and included in discontinued operations.

        During 2005, other expense, net consisted primarily of losses related to the repurchase of outstanding convertible debt prior to its scheduled maturity, partially offset by a $109 million court-ordered restitution award.

        During 2005, the Company repurchased $1,241 million principal amount of its outstanding 2.75% convertible senior debentures for $1,823 million and $750 million principal amount of its outstanding 3.125% convertible senior debentures for $1,147 million. These repurchases resulted in a $1,013 million loss on the retirement of debt, including the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, with $405 included in continuing operations and $608 million allocated to Covidien and Tyco Electronics and included in discontinued operations.

        Additionally, in September 2005, we were awarded a total of $134 million as restitution in connection with our litigation against Mr. L. Dennis Kozlowski, our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Mark H. Swartz, our former Chief Financial Officer and Director. The restitution award is comprised of $109 million of previously expensed compensation made to the Defendants and reported as other expense, net in prior years and $25 million related to a loan receivable from Mr. L. Dennis Kozlowski which had been reflected in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements as a receivable. During 2007, the Company received payment for these amounts.

Excludes asset impairments, nondeductible charges, and other items which are broken out separately in the table.

        Included in the nondeductible charges for 2007 is the class action settlement, net of $2.862 billion. Additionally, the nondeductible charges include $105 million associated with Separation costs which were not fully deductible as well as a write-off of deferred tax assets in entities that were liquidated as part of the Separation. The loss on retirement of debt includes charges related to the early extinguishment of debt of $259 million for which no tax benefit is available. The valuation allowance benefit includes a tax impact of $72 million associated with identification of tax planning to ensure realization of certain deferred tax assets as well as a net benefit of $51 million associated with changes in valuation allowances driven primarily by increased profitability in certain jurisdictions.

        Included in the loss on retirement of debt in 2006 is a cumulative one-time benefit associated with the receipt of a favorable tax ruling in the fourth quarter of 2006 permitting the deduction of prior year debt retirement costs not previously benefited. This benefit is partially offset by a valuation allowance on the net operating losses created by the debt retirement deductions.

        Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting and tax purposes. The components of the net deferred income tax asset at September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006 are as follows ($ in millions):

        At September 28, 2007, the Company had $3,584 million of net operating loss carryforwards in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions. Of these, $2,581 million have no expiration, and the remaining $1,003 million will expire in future years through 2027. Due to a favorable tax ruling in the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company was able to recognize $98 million of net operating loss carryforwards associated with deduction of debt retirement costs. In the U.S., there were approximately $1,292 million of federal and $1,715 million of state net operating loss carryforwards at September 28, 2007, which will expire in future years through 2027.

        The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $666 million and $800 million at September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006, respectively, relates principally to the uncertainty of the utilization of certain deferred tax assets, primarily tax loss and credit carryforwards in various jurisdictions. The Company believes that it will generate sufficient future taxable income to realize the tax benefits related to the remaining net deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was calculated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires that a valuation allowance be established or maintained when it is "more likely than not" that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. At September 28, 2007, approximately $123 million of the valuation allowance will ultimately reduce goodwill if the net operating losses are utilized.

        The Company and its subsidiaries' income tax returns periodically are examined by various tax authorities. See "Income Taxes" in Note 16.

119


        The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across our global operations. We recognize potential liabilities and record tax liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These tax liabilities are reflected net of related tax loss carryforwards. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances; however, due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the tax liabilities. Further, management has reviewed with tax counsel certain of the issues raised by these taxing authorities and the adequacy of these recorded amounts. If the Company's estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, an additional charge to expense would result. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be less than the recorded amounts, the reversal of the liabilities may result in income tax benefits being recognized in the period when we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary. Substantially all of these potential tax liabilities are recorded in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as payment is not expected within one year.

        Except for earnings that are currently distributed, no additional material provision has been made for U.S. or non-U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries or for unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, as such earnings are expected to be permanently reinvested, the investments are essentially permanent in duration, or the Company has concluded that no additional tax liability will arise as a result of the distribution of such earnings. A liability could arise if amounts are distributed by such subsidiaries or if such subsidiaries are ultimately disposed. It is not practicable to estimate the additional income taxes related to permanently reinvested earnings or the basis differences related to investments in subsidiaries.

        See "Income Taxes" in Note 16 for information related to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Covidien and Tyco Electronics.

7.    Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change

        During 2006, the Company adopted FIN No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143." FIN No. 47 clarifies the timing of liability recognition for legal obligations associated with an asset retirement when the timing and (or) method of settling the obligation are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity and clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. FIN No. 47 requires that conditional asset retirement obligations, along with the associated capitalized asset retirement costs, be initially reported at their fair values. Upon adoption, the Company recognized a liability of $32 million for asset retirement obligations and an increase of $10 million in the carrying amount of the related assets, of which $19 million and $5 million are reflected in liabilities and assets of discontinued operations, respectively. The initial recognition resulted in a cumulative effect of accounting change of $14 million after-tax loss ($22 million pre-tax), reflecting the accumulated depreciation and accretion that would have been recognized in prior periods had the provisions of FIN No. 47 been in effect at the time.

        During 2005, the Company changed the measurement date for its pension and postretirement benefit plans, from September 30th to August 31st, effective October 1, 2004. The Company believes that the one-month change of measurement date is a preferable change as it allows management adequate time to evaluate and report the actuarial information in the Company's Consolidated

120



Financial Statements under the accelerated reporting deadlines. As a result of this change, the Company recorded a $21 million after-tax gain ($28 million pre-tax) cumulative effect of accounting change.

8.    Earnings Per Share

        As discussed in Note 1, the Company effected a reverse stock split of Tyco's common shares, at a split ratio of one for four. Share and per share data for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

        The reconciliations between basic and diluted earnings per share for 2007, and 2006 and 2005 are as follows ($ in millions, except per share data):

        The computation of diluted earnings per share prior to the Separation, includes the impact of equity instruments which were converted to give effect to the distribution, in 2007, 2006 and 2005 excludes the effect of the potential exercise of options to purchase approximately 29 million, 21 million and 18 million shares, respectively, because the effect would be anti-dilutive. Additionally, the computation of diluted earnings per common share for 2007 excludes the impact of convertible debt of approximately 6 million shares because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

        The computation of diluted earnings per share in 2007 excludes restricted share awards and deferred stock units of approximately 5 million because the effect would be anti-dilutive. The computation of diluted earnings per share in 2006 and 2005 excludes restricted share awards of approximately 2 million and 1 million, respectively, because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

9.    Sale of Accounts Receivable

        Certain of Tyco's international businesses utilize the sale of accounts receivable as short-term financing mechanisms. The aggregate amount outstanding under the Company's remaining international accounts receivable programs was $76 million, $75 million and $79 million at September 28, 2007, September 29, 2006 and September 30, 2005, respectively.

10.    Investments

        At September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006, Tyco had available-for-sale investments with a fair market value of $352 million and $334 million and a cost basis of $352 million and $337 million,

121



respectively. These investments consist primarily of debt securities and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 28, 2007, $117 million of these debt securities were due to mature within one year, with the remainder substantially due in one to five years. The unrealized gains and losses related to these investments are immaterial and have been included as a separate component of shareholders' equity.

11.    Goodwill and Intangible Assets

        In connection with the Separation, during the third quarter of 2007 Tyco reorganized into a new management and segment reporting structure. As part of these organizational changes, the Company assessed new reporting units and conducted valuations to determine the assignment of goodwill to the new reporting units based on their estimated relative fair values. Following the relative fair value goodwill allocation, the Company then tested goodwill for impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeded its fair value, goodwill was considered potentially impaired. Where goodwill was potentially impaired, the Company compared the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill to the carrying amount of that goodwill. The carrying amount of goodwill exceeded the implied fair value of goodwill in the Australia and New Zealand Security Services business, part of the ADT Worldwide segment. As a result, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment of $46 million in the third quarter of 2007.

        In determining fair value, management relies on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, and market place data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and judgments in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. Changes to these factors and judgments could result in impairment to one or more of our reporting units in a future period. See Note 1.

        There were no goodwill impairments related to continuing operations during 2006 and 2005.

12.    Related Party Transactions

        The Company has amounts due related to loans and advances issued to employees in prior years under the Company's Key Employee Loan Program, relocation programs and other advances made to executives. Loans were provided to employees under the Company's Key Employee Loan Program, which is now discontinued, except for outstanding loans for the payment of taxes upon the vesting of shares granted under our Restricted Share Ownership Plans. No loans are outstanding to any of our current executives. The loans are not collateralized and bear interest, payable annually, at a rate based on the six-month LIBOR, calculated annually as the average of the rates in effect on the first day of each of the preceding 12 months. Loans are generally repayable in ten years; however, earlier payments are required under certain circumstances, such as when an employee is terminated. In addition, the Company made mortgage loans to certain employees under employee relocation programs. These loans are generally payable in 15 years and are collateralized by the underlying property. During 2007 and 2006, the maximum amount outstanding under these programs was $52 million and $69 million, respectively. Loans receivable under these programs, as well as other unsecured advances outstanding, were $24 million and $52 million at September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006. The total outstanding loans receivable includes loans to L. Dennis Kozlowski, the Company's former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (until June 2002). The amount outstanding under these loans, plus accrued interest, was $26 million and $52 million at both September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006, respectively, and the rate of interest charged on such loans was 5.4% and 5.0% for 2007 and 2006, respectively. Interest income on these interest bearing loans totaled $1 million, $2 million, and $2 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Certain of the above loans totaling $4 million and $30 million at September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006, respectively, are non-interest bearing.

        During the fourth quarter of 2002, the Board of Directors and new senior management adopted a policy under which no new loans are allowed to be granted to any officers of the Company and existing loans are not allowed to be extended or modified.

        During 2007, the Company engaged in commercial transactions in the normal course of business with companies where the Company's Directors were employed and served as officers, including VF Corporation and Rohm and Haas Company. Mackey J. McDonald, a Director who retired effective March 7, 2007, is an executive officer of VF Corporation. Rajiv L. Gupta, a Director, is an executive officer of Rohm and Haas Company. Purchases from other companies noted above during 2007 aggregated less than 1 percent of consolidated net revenue.

        During 2006, the Company engaged in commercial transactions in the normal course of business with companies where the Company's Directors were employed and served as officers, including Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc., VF Corporation and Rohm and Haas Company. Sandra S. Wijnberg, a Director, was an executive officer of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. prior to her resignation from that company on March 31, 2006. Mackey J. McDonald, a Director during such period, is an executive officer of VF Corporation. Rajiv L. Gupta, a Director, is an executive officer of Rohm and Haas Company. Purchases from Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. during 2006 were approximately $16 million. Purchases from other companies noted above during 2006 aggregated less than 1 percent of consolidated net revenue.

        During 2005, the Company engaged in commercial transactions in the normal course of business with companies where the Company's Directors were employed and served as officers, including Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc., Brunswick Corporation, VF Corporation and Rohm and Haas Company. Sandra S. Wijnberg, a Director during such period, was an executive officer of Marsh &

124



McLennan Companies, Inc. George W. Buckley, a Director during such period, was an executive officer of Brunswick Corporation. Mackey J. McDonald, a Director during such period, is an executive officer of VF Corporation. Rajiv L. Gupta, a Director, is an executive officer of Rohm and Haas Company. Purchases from Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. during 2005 were approximately $23 million. Purchases from other companies noted above during 2005 aggregated less than 1 percent of consolidated net revenue.

        In 2001, Tyco authorized compensation arrangements to L. Dennis Kozlowski and Mark H. Swartz, the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Director until August 2002. In connection with such arrangements, Tyco purchased executive split dollar life insurance policies for Messrs. Kozlowski and Swartz and entered into a shared ownership agreement with each of them whereby the Company agreed to pay premiums for these insurance policies for an 11-year period beginning in 2001. In 2001, amended policies were executed providing for additional Company-paid premiums. The Company is a co-beneficiary of the policies, less amounts owed to Messrs. Kozlowski and Swartz. Messrs. Kozlowski and Swartz are the beneficiaries of the cash surrender values of the policies plus the amount of any unpaid premiums. The Company's obligations under these arrangements were entered into in recognition of services rendered by these officers and were not contingent upon continuing employment. At that time, the Company deposited $31 million into a rabbi trust to fund premiums on the policies. In the event the investment options within the policies do not earn specified interest amounts, Tyco had guaranteed a supplemental premium payment amount to ensure a 10% annual return on the cash surrender value, and any unpaid premiums. This liability was accreted by a charge to earnings throughout the period of the arrangements to make the specified supplemental premium payments, if any. In conjunction with Mr. Swartz's termination of employment, a lump sum payment of $25 million, which represented the present value of the annual premium amounts at his termination date for the remainder of the contractual period, was made to Mr. Swartz and in return Mr. Swartz waived Tyco's obligation to continue making premium payments. Tyco discontinued making premium payments for Mr. Kozlowski's insurance policy as of October 1, 2002. The Company filed affirmative actions against Mr. Kozlowski, seeking disgorgement of all benefits under this executive life insurance policy. Pending resolution of such action against Mr. Kozlowski, premium obligations since October 2002 have been drawn down from the cash surrender value of such policy to avoid termination of such policy's death benefit. On September 27, 2006, the Company and Mr. Kozlowski entered into a general release agreement that terminated Mr. Kozlowski's shared ownership agreement of the split dollar life insurance policy and the rabbi trust. As such, the Company has no continuing obligation to make any payment or contributions with respect to the split dollar insurance policy or the rabbi trust. The Company recorded a credit of $72 million related to this liability in 2006 within selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Consolidated Financial Statements include charges of $7 million related to Mr. Kozlowski's life insurance policy in each of 2006 and 2005. The $25 million that remained in the rabbi trust as of September 29, 2006 was received by Tyco during the first quarter of 2007.

        The Company filed civil complaints against Messrs. Kozlowski and Swartz for breach of fiduciary duty and other wrongful conduct relating to alleged abuses of our Key Employee Loan Program and relocation program, unauthorized bonuses, unauthorized payments, self-dealing transactions and other improper conduct.

        In June 2002, the Company filed a civil complaint against Frank E. Walsh, Jr., a former director, for breach of fiduciary duty, inducing breaches of fiduciary duty and related wrongful conduct involving

125



a $20 million payment by Tyco, $10 million of which was paid to Mr. Walsh with the balance paid to a charity of which Mr. Walsh is trustee. The payment was purportedly made for Mr. Walsh's assistance in arranging our acquisition of The CIT Group, Inc. On December 17, 2002, Mr. Walsh pleaded guilty to a felony violation of New York law in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, (New York County) and settled a civil action for violation of federal securities laws brought by the SEC in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Both the felony charge and the civil action were brought against Mr. Walsh based on such payment. The felony charge accused Mr. Walsh of intentionally concealing information concerning the payment from Tyco's directors and shareholders while engaged in the sale of Tyco securities in the State of New York. The SEC action alleged that Mr. Walsh knew that the registration statement covering the sale of Tyco securities as part of the CIT Group acquisition contained a material misrepresentation concerning fees payable in connection with the acquisition. Pursuant to the plea and settlement, Mr. Walsh paid $20 million in restitution to Tyco on December 17, 2002. Our claims against Mr. Walsh are still pending.

Debt Tenders

        On April 27, 2007, Tyco announced that, in connection with the Separation, Tyco and certain of its subsidiaries that are issuers of its corporate debt had commenced tender offers to purchase for cash substantially all of its outstanding U.S. dollar denominated public debt, aggregating approximately $6.6 billion. Of this amount, approximately $5.9 billion was non-convertible U.S. debt and $750 million was convertible U.S. debt, with maturities from 2007 to 2029. In conjunction with the tender offers, the relevant issuer solicited consents for certain clarifying amendments to the indentures pursuant to which the debt was issued. Tyco received acceptance notices for approximately $2.1 billion, or 36% of its outstanding non-convertible U.S. debt and approximately $726 million or 97% of its outstanding convertible U.S. debt. Debt which was not tendered in an amount of approximately $3.8 billion remains with Tyco.

        Additionally, Tyco International Group S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company organized under the laws of Luxembourg ("TIGSA"), commenced on April 30, 2007 tender offers to purchase for cash all of its outstanding Euro and Pound Sterling denominated public debt, aggregating the equivalent of approximately $1.9 billion, with maturities from 2008 to 2031, issued under its Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the "EMTN Notes") and a consent solicitation for certain clarifying amendments to the fiscal agency agreement pursuant to which the EMTN Notes were issued. Tyco received acceptance notices for approximately $1.5 billion, or 80% of its EMTN Notes. The remaining EMTN Notes were repurchased pursuant to an optional redemption.

        In connection with the debt tender offers, Tyco incurred a pre-tax charge for the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $647 million, for which no tax benefit is available (see Note 5).

        TIGSA's remaining debt was contributed to Tyco International Finance S.A. ("TIFSA"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and successor company to TIGSA.

Bank and Revolving Credit Facilities

        On April 25, 2007, Tyco, certain of its subsidiaries and a syndicate of banks entered into three 364-day unsecured bridge loan facilities with an aggregate commitment amount of $10 billion. At the end of May 2007, the aggregate commitment amount under these facilities was increased to $12.5 billion. Tyco borrowed approximately $8.9 billion under the unsecured bridge loan facilities to fund its debt tender offers, repay its existing bank credit facilities and to finance the class action settlement. Of this amount, approximately $4.3 billion and $3.6 billion was assigned to Covidien and Tyco Electronics, respectively. Tyco initially guaranteed the new unsecured bridge loan facilities and Covidien and Tyco Electronics each assumed Tyco's obligations with respect to their unsecured bridge loan facilities upon the Separation. We no longer guarantee those assumed amounts. This facility has a variable interest rate based on LIBOR. The margin over LIBOR payable by TIFSA can vary based on changes in its credit rating. As of September 28, 2007, Tyco's aggregate commitment under its unsecured bridge loan facility was $4.0 billion and $367 million remained outstanding with a weighted-average interest rate of 5.5%.

        On October 1, 2007, the commitments with respect to the unused portion of the Company's unsecured bridge loan facility expired. The Company's unsecured revolving credit facility and its letter of credit facility described below provide the lenders under those facilities with the right to demand repayment of outstanding amounts, and to terminate commitments to extend additional credit, if

127



(i) certain of the Company's outstanding public debt is declared due and payable and (ii) the Company does not have sufficient liquidity available under its unsecured bridge loan facility to refinance such debt. As a result, on November 27, 2007, the Company secured additional firm commitments from certain of its lenders under the bridge loan facility. These additional commitments provide the Company with sufficient liquidity to repay the outstanding public debt with borrowings of up to $4.0 billion. The additional commitments expire on, and any borrowings under the facility would mature on, November 25, 2008. The facility may only be used to repay, settle or otherwise extinguish the public debt described above, which is the subject of ongoing litigation between the Company and The Bank of New York. For more information regarding such litigation, see "Indenture Trustee Litigation" in Note 16.

        Additionally, on April 25, 2007, Tyco, certain of its subsidiaries and a syndicate of banks entered into three unsecured revolving credit facilities with an initial aggregate commitment amount of $2.5 billion that increased to $4.25 billion at the time of the Separation. Of the aggregate commitment amount of $4.25 billion, a $1.25 billion commitment is available to Tyco, and a $1.5 billion commitment was available to each of Covidien and Tyco Electronics. Tyco will use its revolving credit facilities for working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate purposes. Tyco initially guaranteed the new revolving credit facilities and Covidien and Tyco Electronics each assumed Tyco's obligations with respect to their revolving credit facilities upon the Separation. We no longer guarantee those assumed amounts. At September 28, 2007, Tyco has borrowed $308 million under its unsecured revolving credit facility. This facility has a variable interest rate based on LIBOR. The margin over LIBOR payable by TIFSA can vary based on changes in its credit rating.

        The unsecured revolving credit facilities replaced TIGSA's existing $1.0 billion 5-year revolving credit facility, $1.5 billion 3-year revolving bank credit facility and $500 million 3-year unsecured letter of credit facility, which were all terminated by June 1, 2007 prior to their scheduled expiration dates of December 16, 2009, December 21, 2007 and June 15, 2007, respectively. On the date of termination, no amounts were borrowed under the $1.0 billion facility and the $1.5 billion facility, and letters of credit of $494 million were issued under the $500 million facility.

        On June 21, 2007, Tyco and TIFSA entered into a new $500 million letter of credit facility, with Citibank N.A. as administrative agent, expiring on December 15, 2007. The facility provides for the issuance of letters of credit, supported by a related line of credit facility. TIFSA may only borrow under the line of credit agreement to reimburse the bank for obligations with respect to letters of credit issued under this facility. The covenants under this facility are substantially similar to the covenants under the bridge loan and revolving credit facilities. TIFSA would pay interest on any outstanding borrowings at a variable interest rate, based on the bank's base rate or the Eurodollar rate, as defined. As of September 28, 2007, letters of credit of $494 million have been issued under the $500 million credit facility and $6 million remains available for issuance. There were no amounts borrowed under this credit facility at September 28, 2007. On October 19, 2007, the facility was amended. The amendment extended the maturity date to June 15, 2008 and adjusted the interest rate spreads and fees applicable to extensions of credit thereunder. Loans under the amended letter of credit agreement will continue to bear interest based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin.

        TIFSA's bank credit agreements contain customary terms and conditions, and financial covenants that limit the ratio of the Company's debt to its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and that limit its ability to incur subsidiary debt or grant liens on its property. The Company's indentures contain customary covenants including limits on negative pledges, subsidiary debt

128



and sale/leaseback transactions. None of these covenants are considered restrictive to the Company's business. The Company believes it is in compliance with all of its debt covenants. The Bank of New York, as indenture trustee under indentures dated as of June 9, 1998 and November 12, 2003, is contesting whether the Separation transactions were permitted under such indentures. See Note 16.

Convertible Debentures

        As of September 28, 2007, TIFSA had $21 million outstanding of its 3.125% convertible senior debentures due 2023 with a 2015 put option ("the 3.125% convertible senior debentures"). These debentures are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Tyco. These debentures were originally convertible into Tyco shares. As a result of the Separation and the distribution of Covidien and Tyco Electronics shares to Tyco's shareholders, these debentures are now convertible into Tyco, Covidien and Tyco Electronics shares. At any time subsequent to the Separation, holders may convert each $1,000 principal amount of the debentures into 11.496 Tyco common shares, 11.496 Covidien common shares and 11.496 Tyco Electronics common shares prior to the stated maturity. Additionally, holders of the 3.125% convertible senior debentures may require TIFSA to purchase all or a portion of their debentures on January 15, 2015. If the option is exercised, TIFSA must repurchase the debentures at par plus accrued interest, and may elect to repurchase the securities for cash, common shares, or some combination thereof. TIFSA may redeem for cash some or all of the 3.125% convertible senior debentures at any time on or after January 20, 2008, for an amount equal to the redemption price.

Other Debt Information

        The fair value of debt was approximately $4.5 billion (book value of $4.5 billion) and $10.4 billion (book value of $9.6 billion) at September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006, respectively, based on discounted cash flow analyses using current market interest rates.

        The aggregate amounts of principal debt, including capital leases, maturing during the next five years and thereafter are as follows (in millions): $380 in 2008, $524 in 2009, $7 in 2010, $521 in 2011, $1,160 in 2012 and $1,885 thereafter.

        The weighted-average interest rate on total debt was 6.3% and 6.0% at September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006, respectively, excluding the impact of interest rate swaps. The weighted-average interest rate on short-term debt was 5.5% at September 28, 2007. The impact of the Company's interest rate swap agreements on reported interest expense was a net increase of $10 million for 2006 and a net decrease of $40 million for 2005, respectively. Of these amounts, $6 million of the increase in 2006 and $24 million of the decrease in 2005 for interest expense was allocated and included in discontinued operations.

14.    Guarantees

        Certain of the Company's business segments have guaranteed the performance of third-parties and provided financial guarantees for uncompleted work and financial commitments. The terms of these guarantees vary with end dates ranging from 2008 through the completion of such transactions. The guarantees would be triggered in the event of nonperformance and the potential exposure for nonperformance under the guarantees would not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

129



        There are certain guarantees or indemnifications extended among Tyco, Covidien and Tyco Electronics in accordance with the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement and the Tax Sharing Agreement. At the time of the Separation, Tyco recorded a liability necessary to recognize the fair value of such guarantees and indemnifications in accordance with FIN No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." Fair values were determined with the assistance of a third party valuation firm. The liability necessary to reflect the fair value of these guarantees and indemnifications is $543 million, which is included in other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The guarantees primarily relate to certain contingent tax liabilities included in the Tax Sharing Agreement. See Note 16 for further discussion of the Tax Sharing Agreement.

        In addition, Tyco historically provided support in the form of financial and/or performance guarantees to various Covidien and Tyco Electronics operating entities. In connection with the Separation, the Company worked with the guarantee counterparties to cancel or assign these guarantees to Covidien or Tyco Electronics. To the extent these guarantees were not assigned prior to the Separation date, Tyco assumed primary liability on any remaining support. The estimated fair values of those obligations are $7 million, which are included in other liabilities with an offset to shareholders' equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and were recorded in accordance with FIN No. 45.

        In disposing of assets or businesses, the Company often provides representations, warranties and/or indemnities to cover various risks including, for example, unknown damage to the assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability to investigate and remediate environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. The Company does not have the ability to estimate the potential liability from such indemnities because they relate to unknown conditions. However, the Company has no reason to believe that these uncertainties would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        The Company has recorded liabilities for known indemnifications included as part of environmental liabilities. See Note 16 for a discussion of these liabilities.

        In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        The Company records estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale. For further information on estimated product warranty, see Note 1.

        Following is a roll forward of the Company's warranty accrual for 2007 ($ in millions):

        In 2001, a division of Safety Products initiated a Voluntary Replacement Program ("VRP") associated with the acquisition of Central Sprinkler. The VRP relates to the replacement of certain

130



O-ring seal sprinkler heads which were originally manufactured by Central Sprinkler prior to Tyco's acquisition. Under this program, the sprinkler heads are being replaced free of charge to property owners. In the third quarter of 2006, the Company completed a comprehensive review of reported claims, recent claim rates and cost trends and further assessed the future of the program. The Company determined that an additional liability was necessary in order to satisfy the Company's obligation under the VRP. As a result, the Company recorded a $100 million charge which was reflected in cost of sales. On May 1, 2007, the Consumer Products Safety Commission and the Company announced an August 31, 2007 deadline for filing claims to participate in the VRP. The Company will fulfill all valid claims for replacement of qualifying sprinklers received up to August 31, 2007. During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company further assessed the expected cost to complete the program in light of the most current claims data and determined that an additional accrual of $10 million was necessary to satisfy the estimated remaining obligation. The ultimate cost to complete the program will be impacted by a number of factors such as changes in material and labor costs, and the actual number of sprinkler heads replaced. Actual results could differ from this estimate. Settlements during 2007 include cash expenditures of $38 million related to the VRP.

15.    Financial Instruments

        The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable, debt and derivative financial instruments. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investments and accounts payable approximated book value at September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006. See Note 13 for the fair value estimates of debt.

        All derivative financial instruments are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, and changes in a derivative's fair value are recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge criteria are met. Fair value estimates are based on relevant market information, including current market rates and prices, assuming adequate market liquidity. Fair value estimates for interest rate and cross-currency swaps were calculated by the Company or with the assistance of high-quality, third-party financial institutions known to be high volume participants in this market.

        The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to foreign currency and interest rate risks. The Company's objective for utilizing derivatives is to manage these risks using the most effective methods to eliminate or reduce the impacts of these exposures. For those transactions that are designated as hedges, the Company documents relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, and links derivatives designated as fair value, cash flow or foreign currency hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. For transactions designated as hedges, the Company also assesses and documents, both at the hedge's inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows associated with the hedged items.

        As part of managing the exposure to changes in market interest rates, the Company has historically entered into various interest rate swap transactions with financial institutions acting as principal counterparties. To ensure both appropriate use as a hedge and hedge accounting treatment, all derivatives entered into were designated according to a hedge objective against specified forecasted interest payments on specifically underwritten debt issuances. The Company's primary hedge objectives include the conversion of fixed-rate liabilities to variable rates. The derivative financial instruments associated with these objectives are designated and accounted for as fair value hedges.

131



        As part of managing the exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company utilizes forward and option contracts with financial institutions acting as principal counterparties. The objective of these derivative contracts is to minimize impacts to cash flows associated with intercompany loans, notes receivable and accounts payable, and forecasted transactions due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

        The Company's derivative financial instruments present certain market and counterparty risks; however, concentration of counterparty risk is mitigated as Tyco deals with a variety of major banks worldwide with long-term Standard & Poor's and Moody's credit ratings of A/A2 or higher. In addition, only conventional derivative financial instruments are utilized, thereby affording optimum clarity as to the market risk. None of the Company's derivative financial instruments outstanding at year end would result in a significant loss to the Company if a counterparty failed to perform according to the terms of its agreement. At this time, the Company does not require collateral or other security to be furnished by the counterparties to its derivative financial instruments.

        In assessing the current and potential future risk attributable to interest rate movements, during the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company terminated interest rate swaps and cross currency agreements with an aggregate notional value of $2.5 billion. The fair value of the swaps at the time of termination was a net gain of $10 million. As the interest rate swaps were designated as hedging instruments of outstanding debt, the net deferred loss of $26 million will be recognized in earnings over the remaining term of the related debt instrument. The remaining agreements were terminated during the first quarter of 2007.

Interest Rate Exposures

        The Company historically utilized interest rate swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rate risk. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company terminated the interest rate swaps. Since the interest rate swaps were designated as hedging instruments of outstanding debt, the related loss will be amortized over the remaining life of the related debt instruments. Prior to termination, the mark-to-market effects of both the interest rate swap agreements and the underlying debt obligations were recorded in interest expense and are directly offsetting to the extent the hedges are effective.

        In addition, the Company historically utilized interest rate and foreign currency swap agreements ("cross currency swaps") to manage its exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency exposure on loans denominated in foreign currency. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company terminated these agreements. The settlement of the swaps terminated during the first quarter of 2007 along with $17 million of swaps in a gain position that were terminated in the fourth quarter of 2006 resulted in a net cash inflow of $63 million in the first quarter of 2007. In connection with the debt tender offer, $9 million of unamortized loss on interest rate swaps was accelerated and recorded as a loss on retirement of debt and included in other expense, net (see Note 13). At September 28, 2007 there were no cross-currency or interest rate swaps outstanding. Prior to termination, the mark-to-market effects on the interest rate and foreign currency swaps were recorded in interest expense and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, and directly offset the corresponding changes in the fair value of the hedged items to the extent the hedges were effective. The ineffective portion of the hedge was not material.

132



Foreign Currency Exposures

        The Company uses forward agreements to hedge its exposure to foreign currency exchange rates on raw material purchases. These forward agreements are designated as cash flow hedges. Gains and losses resulting from these hedges, the amounts of which are not material in any period presented, are recorded in other comprehensive income. Amounts are reclassified from other comprehensive income to earnings and recorded as an adjustment to cost of sales when the underlying transaction impacts earnings.

        Tyco uses various options, swaps, and forwards not designated as hedging instruments, to manage foreign currency exposures on accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, intercompany loans and forecasted transactions denominated in certain foreign currencies. For derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, the Company records changes in fair value in selling, general and administrative expenses in the income statement in the period of change. The fair value of these instruments totaled $95 million at September 28, 2007.

        In December 2006, due to required changes to the legal entity structure to facilitate the Separation, the Company determined that it would no longer consider certain intercompany foreign currency transactions to be long-term investments. As a result, the related foreign currency transaction gains and losses on such investments were recorded in the income statement subsequent to this determination rather than to the currency translation component of shareholders' equity. Forward contracts that were previously designated as hedges of these net investments, continued to be used to manage this exposure but were no longer designated as net investment hedges. The remaining forward and option contracts are marked to market with changes in the derivatives' fair value recognized in the income statement.

        Previously, the Company hedged its net investment in certain foreign operations. Changes in the fair value of forward contracts qualifying as net investment hedges are reported in the cumulative translation adjustment component of accumulated other comprehensive income to the extent the hedges are effective. The cumulative translation adjustment component of other comprehensive income includes a net loss of $299 million and $91 million during 2007 and 2006, respectively, for hedges of the foreign currency exposure of the Company's net investment in certain foreign operations. In connection with the Separation and the debt tender, the Company de-designated its 6.125% Euro denominated public notes due 2007 on March 29, 2007, its 5.5% Euro denominated public notes due 2008 and its 6.5% British Pound denominated public notes due 2031 on May 21, 2007, that had previously been considered as hedges of net investments in certain foreign operations. At September 28, 2007, the Company did not hedge its net investments in foreign operations, and all of its outstanding borrowings were denominated in U.S. dollars.

Convertible Debentures

        Given the potential requirement to convert the Company's 3.125% convertible senior debentures into shares of Covidien and Tyco Electronics, the Separation and Distribution Agreement provides for Covidien and Tyco Electronics to deliver such shares as needed. Tyco recorded an asset for the fair value of the Covidien and Tyco Electronics shares required to satisfy the obligation to the debenture holders. Tyco also recorded the related conversion option as a liability at fair value. These amounts were established with an offset to shareholders' equity in connection with the Separation. During the fourth quarter of 2007, Tyco recorded a $3 million credit to other expense, net for the changes in fair

133



value of the asset and the conversion option. At September 28, 2007, the fair value of the asset and the conversion option liability were $19 million and $15 million, respectively.

16.    Commitments and Contingencies

        The Company has facility, vehicle and equipment leases that expire at various dates through the year 2027. Rental expense under these leases was $410 million, $390 million, and $405 million for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company also has facility and equipment commitments under capital leases.

        Following is a schedule of minimum lease payments for non-cancelable leases as of September 28, 2007 ($ in millions):

 
  Operating

  Total minimum lease payments         $ 64
         

        The Company also has purchase obligations related to commitments to purchase certain goods and services. At September 28, 2007, such obligations were as follows: $114 million in 2008, $7 million in 2009, $3 million in 2010 and $0 million thereafter.

        In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into a liability sharing agreement regarding certain class actions that were pending against Tyco prior to the Separation. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Company will manage and control all the legal matters related to assumed contingent liabilities as described in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, including the defense or settlement thereof, subject to certain limitations.

        Tyco has assumed 27%, Covidien has assumed 42% and Tyco Electronics has assumed 31% of certain Tyco pre-Separation contingent and other corporate liabilities, which include securities class action litigation, ERISA class action litigation, certain legacy tax contingencies and any actions with respect to the spin-offs or the distributions made or brought by any third party except for litigation related to our public debt. Any amounts relating to these contingent and other corporate liabilities paid by Tyco after the spin-offs that are subject to the allocation provisions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement will be shared among Tyco, Covidien and Tyco Electronics pursuant to the same allocation ratio. As described in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Tyco, Tyco Electronics and Covidien are jointly and severally liable for all amounts relating to the previously

134



disclosed securities class action settlement. All costs and expenses that Tyco incurs in connection with the defense of such litigation, other than the amount of any judgment or settlement, which will be allocated in the manner described above, will be borne equally by Covidien, Tyco Electronics and Tyco.

Class Actions and Class Action Settlement

        As a result of actions taken by certain of the Company's former senior corporate management, Tyco, some members of the Company's former senior corporate management, including former members of its Board of Directors and former General Counsel are named defendants in a number of purported class actions alleging violations of the disclosure provisions of the federal securities laws. In addition, Tyco, certain of its current and former employees, some members of the Company's former senior corporate management and some former members of the Company's Board of Directors also are named as defendants in several Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") class actions. The Company is generally obligated to indemnify its directors and officers and its former directors and officers who are named as defendants in some or all of these matters to the extent required by Bermuda law. In addition, the Company's insurance carriers may decline coverage, or the Company's coverage may be insufficient to cover its expenses and liability, in some or all of these matters.

        On May 14, 2007, Tyco entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with plaintiffs' counsel in connection with the settlement of 32 purported securities class action lawsuits. The Memorandum of Understanding does not resolve all securities cases, and several remain outstanding. In addition, the proposed settlement does not release claims arising under ERISA and the lawsuits arising thereunder.

        Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, the plaintiffs agreed to release all claims against Tyco, the other settling defendants and ten other individuals in consideration for the payment of $2.975 billion from Tyco to the certified class. The parties to the Memorandum of Understanding have applied to the court for approval of the settlement agreement. On July 13, 2007, the U. S. District Court in Concord, New Hampshire granted preliminary approval of the settlement. On November 2, 2007, the final fairness hearing for the class settlement was held. The Court indicated it would approve the settlement and stated a formal ruling would be issued in a few weeks. If the settlement agreement does not receive final court approval, the Memorandum of Understanding will be null and void. By December 28, 2007, class participants must file their proofs of claim demonstrating their right to recovery under the class settlement.

        The deadline for deciding not to participate in the class settlement was September 28, 2007. As of such date, Tyco had received opt-out notices from individuals and entities totaling approximately 4% of the shares owned by class members. These individuals and entities may pursue their claims separately against Tyco and any judgments resulting from such claims would not reduce the settlement amount. One entity, Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC, has filed a complaint against Tyco on September 24, 2007 in an action styled Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC v. Tyco International Ltd. in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging violations of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 77(b), Section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 78(b), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 78(k) in connection with the plaintiffs' purchases and sales of Tyco securities between June 4, 2001 and April 30, 2002. The plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory damages and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. Tyco has requested that this action be transferred to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. Tyco intends to vigorously defend the litigation. It is not possible at this time to predict the

135



final outcome or to estimate the amount of loss or range of possible loss, if any, that might result from an adverse resolution of the Franklin matter or other unasserted claims from individuals that have opted-out.

        Under the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement entered into in connection with the Separation, each of Tyco, Covidien and Tyco Electronics are jointly and severally liable for the full amount of the class action settlement and any judgments resulting from opt-out claims. Additionally, under the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the companies share in the liability and related escrow accounts, with Tyco assuming 27%, Covidien 42% and Tyco Electronics 31% of the settlement amount.

        Tyco incurred a charge to expense, for which no tax benefit is available, and a current liability of $2.975 billion in 2007. The Company has also recovered or expects to recover certain of these costs from insurers. As such, the Company recorded $113 million of recoveries in connection with the class action settlement in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. Tyco borrowed under its unsecured bridge and credit facilities to fund the liability and placed the proceeds in escrow for the benefit of the class. In connection with the Separation, Covidien and Tyco Electronics assumed their portion of the related borrowing. The escrow accounts will earn interest that is payable to the class. Interest is also accrued on the class action settlement liability. Based on the Separation and Distribution Agreement, at September 28, 2007 Tyco had a receivable from Covidien and Tyco Electronics for their portion of the liability of $1,257 million and $927 million, respectively, and a payable to Covidien and Tyco Electronics for their interest in the escrow accounts. Receivables and payables that pertain to the class action settlement and related escrow accounts with the same counterparty are presented net in the consolidated balance sheet. Tyco's portion of the liability is $808 million. Additionally, Tyco has paid $73 million and recorded payables of $9 million at September 28, 2007, with an offset to shareholders' equity for amounts due to Covidien and Tyco Electronics for their portion of the insurance recovery.

        If the proposed settlement were not consummated on the agreed terms or if the unresolved proceedings were to be determined adversely to Tyco, it is possible that the Company will be required to pay judgments or settlements and incur expenses, in excess of any insurance coverage, in aggregate amounts that would have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. At this time, it is not possible to estimate the amount of loss or probable losses, if any, that might result from an adverse resolution of these matters.

Investigations

        The Company and others have received various subpoenas and requests from the SEC's Division of Enforcement, the United States Department of Labor, state departments of labor, the General Service Administration and others seeking the production of voluminous documents in connection with various investigations into the Company's governance, management, operations, accounting and related controls. The Department of Labor is investigating Tyco and the administrators of certain of its benefit plans. The Company cannot predict when these investigations will be completed, nor can the Company predict what the results of these investigations may be. It is possible that the Company will be required to pay material fines, consent to injunctions on future conduct, lose the ability to conduct business with government entities or instrumentalities (which in turn could negatively impact the Company's business with non-governmental customers) or suffer other penalties or adverse impacts, each of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. It is not possible to estimate the amount of loss, or range of possible loss, if any, that might result from an adverse resolution of these matters.

Environmental Matters

        Tyco is involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to environmental remediation matters at a number of sites. The ultimate cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and alternative cleanup methods. As of September 28, 2007, Tyco concluded that it was probable that it would incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $36 million to $63 million. As of September 28, 2007, Tyco concluded that the best estimate within this range is approximately $40 million, of which $11 million is included in accrued and other current liabilities and $29 million is included in other liabilities on Tyco's Consolidated Balance Sheets. In view of the Company's financial position and reserves for environmental matters, the Company believes that any potential payment of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        Tyco has recorded asset retirement obligations ("AROs") according to the provisions of SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," and FIN No. 147 for the estimated future costs associated with legal obligations to retire certain assets. As of September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006, the Company's AROs were $13 million in both periods. The Company believes that any potential payment of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See further discussions on the implementation of FIN No. 47 in Note 7.

Asbestos Matters

        Tyco and some of its subsidiaries and certain subsidiaries of Covidien are named as defendants in personal injury lawsuits based on alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Covidien has assumed all liabilities for pending cases filed against Covidien's subsidiaries. Consistent with the national trend of increased asbestos-related litigation, the Company has observed an increase in the number of these lawsuits in the past several years. A limited number of the cases allege premises liability, based on claims that individuals were exposed to asbestos while on a subsidiary's property. A majority of the cases involve product liability claims, based principally on allegations of past distribution of heat-resistant industrial products incorporating asbestos or the past distribution of industrial valves that incorporated asbestos- containing gaskets or packing. Each case typically names between dozens to hundreds of corporate defendants.

        Tyco's involvement in asbestos cases has been limited because its subsidiaries did not mine or produce asbestos. Furthermore, in the Company's experience, a large percentage of these claims were never substantiated and have been dismissed by the courts. The Company will continue to vigorously defend the lawsuits that have been filed against it and its subsidiaries. To date, the Company has not suffered an adverse verdict in a trial court proceeding related to asbestos claims. When appropriate, the Company settles claims; however, the total amount paid in any year to settle and defend all asbestos claims has been immaterial. As of September 28, 2007, there were approximately 5,600 asbestos liability cases pending against the Company and its subsidiaries.

        The Company estimates its pending asbestos claims and claims that were incurred but not reported, as well as related insurance and indemnification recoveries. The Company's estimate of the liability for pending and future claims is based on claim experience over the past five years and covers

137



claims expected to be filed over the next seven years. The Company believes that it has adequate amounts recorded related to these matters. While it is not possible at this time to determine with certainty the ultimate outcome of these asbestos-related proceedings, the Company believes that the final outcome of all known and anticipated future claims, after taking into account its substantial indemnification rights and insurance coverage, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Income Taxes

        In connection with the spin-offs of Covidien and Tyco Electronics from Tyco, Tyco entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement that generally governs Covidien's, Tyco Electronics' and Tyco's respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations after the distribution with respect to taxes, including ordinary course of business taxes and taxes, if any, incurred as a result of any failure of the distribution of all of the shares of Covidien or Tyco Electronics to qualify as a tax-free distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Section 355 of the Code or certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the spin-offs to qualify for tax-favored treatment under the Code.

        Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, with certain exceptions, Tyco generally is responsible for the payment of 27% of any additional U.S. income taxes that are required to be paid to a U.S. tax authority as a result of a U.S. tax audit of Covidien's, Tyco Electronics' or Tyco's subsidiaries' income tax returns for all periods prior to the spin-offs.

        Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Company shares responsibility for certain of Tyco's, Covidien's and Tyco Electronics' income tax liabilities based on a sharing formula for periods prior to and including June 29, 2007. More specifically, Tyco, Covidien and Tyco Electronics share 27%, 42% and 31%, respectively, of U.S. income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to Tyco's, Covidien's and Tyco Electronics' U.S. income tax returns. All costs and expenses associated with the management of these shared tax liabilities are shared equally among the parties. At September 28, 2007, Tyco has recorded a receivable from Covidien and Tyco Electronics of $103 million reflected in other assets as our estimate of their portion of the Tax Sharing obligations with an offset to shareholders' equity. Other liabilities include $543 million for the fair value of Tyco's obligations under the Tax Sharing Agreement, determined in accordance with FIN 45 recognized with an offset to shareholders' equity.

        Tyco will provide payment under the Tax Sharing Agreement as the shared income tax liabilities are settled. Settlement is expected to occur as the IRS audit process is completed for the impacted years. Given the nature of the shared liabilities, the maximum amount of potential future payments is not determinable.

        In the event the Separation is determined to be taxable and such determination was the result of actions taken after the Separation by Tyco, Covidien or Tyco Electronics, the party responsible for such failure would be responsible for all taxes imposed on Tyco, Covidien or Tyco Electronics as a result thereof. If such determination is not the result of actions taken after the Separation by Tyco, Covidien or Tyco Electronics, then Tyco, Covidien and Tyco Electronics would be responsible for 27%, 42% and 31%, respectively, of any taxes imposed on Tyco, Covidien or Tyco Electronics as a result of such determination. Such tax amounts could be significant. The Company is responsible for all of its own taxes that are not shared pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement's sharing formula. In addition,

138



Covidien and Tyco Electronics are responsible for their tax liabilities that are not subject to the Tax Sharing Agreement's sharing formula.

        If any party to the Tax Sharing Agreement were to default in its obligation to another party to pay its share of the distribution taxes that arise as a result of no party's fault, each non-defaulting party would be required to pay, equally with any other non-defaulting party, the amounts in default. In addition, if another party to the Tax Sharing Agreement that is responsible for all or a portion of an income tax liability were to default in its payment of such liability to a taxing authority, the Company could be legally liable under applicable tax law for such liabilities and required to make additional tax payments. Accordingly, under certain circumstances, the Company may be obligated to pay amounts in excess of its agreed-upon share of Tyco's, Covidien's and Tyco Electronics' tax liabilities.

        The Company and its subsidiaries' income tax returns periodically are examined by various tax authorities. In connection with these examinations, tax authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), have raised issues and proposed tax adjustments. The Company is reviewing and contesting certain of the proposed tax adjustments. Amounts related to these tax adjustments and other tax contingencies and related interest that management has assessed as probable and estimable have been recorded.

        In 2004, in connection with the IRS audit of the 1997 through 2000 years, the Company submitted to the IRS proposed adjustments to these prior period U.S. federal income tax returns resulting in a reduction in the taxable income previously filed. During 2006, the IRS accepted substantially all of the proposed adjustments. Also during 2006, the Company developed proposed amendments to U.S. federal income tax returns for additional periods through 2002. On the basis of previously accepted amendments, the Company has determined that acceptance of these adjustments is probable and accordingly has recorded them in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Such adjustments did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

        The Company has yet to complete proposed amendments to its U.S. federal income tax returns for periods subsequent to 2002, which will primarily reflect the roll forward through 2006 of the amendments for the periods 1997 to 2002. When the Company's tax return positions are updated additional adjustments may be identified and recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements. While the final adjustments cannot be determined until the income tax return amendment process is completed, the Company believes that any resulting adjustments will not have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

        During the third quarter of 2007, the IRS concluded its field examination of certain of Tyco's U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 1997 through 2000 and issued anticipated Revenue Agents' Reports ("RARs") which reflect the IRS' determination of proposed tax adjustments for the periods under audit. The RARs propose tax audit adjustments to certain of the Company's previously filed tax return positions, all of which the Company expected and previously assessed at each balance sheet date. Accordingly, the Company has made no additional provision during the year ended September 28, 2007 as a result of the proposed audit adjustments in the RARs.

        The Company has agreed with the IRS on adjustments totaling $498 million, with an estimated cash impact to the Company of $458 million, and during the third quarter of 2007, the Company paid $458 million, of which $163 million relates to the Company's discontinued operations. The Company

139



appealed other proposed tax audit adjustments totaling approximately $1 billion, and, as Audit Managing Party as specified in the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Company intends to vigorously defend its prior filed tax return positions. The Company continues to believe that the amounts recorded in its financial statements relating to these tax adjustments are sufficient. However, the ultimate resolution of these matters is uncertain and could result in a material impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, ultimate resolution of these matters could result in the Company filing amended U.S. federal income tax returns for years subsequent to the current 1997 to 2000 audit period and could have a material impact on the Company's effective tax rate in future reporting periods.

        Additionally, the IRS proposed civil fraud penalties against a prior subsidiary that was distributed to Tyco Electronics arising from alleged actions of former executives in connection with certain intercompany transfers of stock of Simplex Technologies in 1998 and 1999. Based on statutory guidelines, we estimate the proposed penalties could range between $30 million and $50 million. The Company as Audit Managing Party will vigorously oppose the assertion of such penalties against Tyco Electronics, in part, because beginning in 2003 the Company discovered, investigated and reported the conduct at issue to the IRS and fully cooperated in the criminal prosecution of the Company's former Chief Tax Officer on a charge of willful filing of a false tax return.

Compliance Matters

        Tyco has received and responded to various allegations and other information that certain improper payments were made by Tyco subsidiaries in recent years. As previously reported, we have been informed that two subsidiaries in our Flow Control business in Italy have been named in a request for criminal charges filed by the Milan public prosecutor's office. Tyco has reported to the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") and the SEC the investigative steps and remedial measures that it has taken in response to the allegations. Tyco also informed the DOJ and the SEC that it has retained outside counsel to perform a company-wide baseline review of its policies, controls and practices with respect to compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"), that it would continue to make periodic progress reports to these agencies, and that it would present its factual findings upon conclusion of the baseline review. The Company has and will continue to communicate with the DOJ and SEC to provide updates on the baseline review being conducted by outside counsel, including, as appropriate, briefings concerning additional instances of potential improper payments identified by the Company in the course of its ongoing compliance activities. Covidien and Tyco Electronics agreed, in connection with the Separation, to cooperate with the Company in its response to these allegations. To date, the baseline review has revealed that some business practices may not comply with Tyco and FCPA requirements. At this time, Tyco cannot predict the outcome of these matters and other allegations reported to regulatory and law enforcement authorities and therefore cannot estimate the range of potential loss or extent of risk, if any, that may result from an adverse resolution of these matters. However, it is possible that the Company may be required to pay judgments, suffer penalties or incur settlements in amounts that may have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        Any judgment required to be paid or settlement or other cost incurred by Tyco in connection with these matters would be subject to the liability sharing provisions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, which assigned liabilities primarily related to the former Healthcare and Electronics

140



businesses of Tyco to Covidien or Tyco Electronics, respectively, and provides that Tyco will retain liabilities primarily related to its continuing operations. Any liabilities not primarily related to a particular segment will be shared equally among Tyco, Covidien and Tyco Electronics.

        The German Federal Cartel Office ("FCO") charged that certain German subsidiaries in Tyco's Flow Control business have engaged in anti-competitive practices, in particular with regard to its hydrant, valve, street box and fittings business. Tyco investigated this matter and determined that the conduct may have violated German anti-trust-law. Tyco is cooperating with the FCO in its investigation of this violation. Tyco cannot estimate the range of potential loss that may result from this violation. It is possible that the Company may be subject to civil or criminal proceedings and may be required to pay judgments, suffer penalties or incur settlements in amounts that may have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Indenture Trustee Litigation

        On June 4, 2007, The Bank of New York ("BONY"), as indenture trustee under the indentures dated as of June 9, 1998 and November 12, 2003, of Tyco International Group S.A. ("TIGSA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tyco, commenced an action against TIGSA and Tyco in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. BONY served an amended complaint on October 18, 2007, which added Tyco International Finance S.A. ("TIFSA") as an additional defendant. As amended, the complaint alleges that the Separation breached the indentures and seeks damages on behalf of noteholders in excess of $4.1 billion, consisting of principal plus accrued interest on the notes issued under the indentures, plus a "make-whole" amount payable under the indentures in the event of early redemption of the notes. The amended complaint also seeks a judgment declaring that BONY was not required to sign supplemental indentures proposed by TIGSA, TIFSA and Tyco in connection with the Separation. BONY also seeks a declaratory judgment that TIGSA is obligated to pay BONY reasonable compensation and to reimburse BONY for all reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the Separation and in resolving the proper interpretation of the indentures. On November 15, 2007, Tyco and TIFSA filed counterclaims against BONY, alleging that its refusal to sign the supplemental indentures in connection with the Separation and the filing of the amended complaint constituted a breach of the indentures and a breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing implied in the indentures. They seek unspecified damages on these claims. Tyco and TIFSA also seek a declaratory judgment that no default has occurred and that BONY is required to sign the supplemental indentures.

        On November 8, 2007, BONY delivered to the Company a Notice of Events of Default, claiming that the actions taken by the Company in connection with the Separation constitute events of default under the indentures. The claims made in the Notice of Events of Default are the same as those alleged by BONY in the litigation, and the Company continues to believe that no default or event of default has occurred. The indentures provide for a 90-day cure period following delivery of the notice of default, after which BONY could declare any outstanding amounts under the indentures immediately due and payable. We would contest such an acceleration.

        TIGSA, TIFSA and Tyco continue to believe that the Separation and the proposed supplemental indentures are permitted under the indentures and that no "make-whole" amount is payable. The Company intends to vigorously defend the claims of default and believes it will prevail in legal proceedings.

141



        If we did not have liquidity available to repay the outstanding debt under the 1998 and 2003 indentures under our 364-day bridge facility, such an acceleration of the outstanding notes would have permitted a majority of the lenders under each of our bank and letter of credit facilities to demand repayment of amounts outstanding under those facilities, and to terminate their commitments to extend additional credit thereunder. As a result, on November 27, 2007, the Company secured additional firm commitments from certain of its lenders under the bridge facility, providing the Company with additional borrowings of up to $4.0 billion to repay such notes. The additional commitments expire on, and any borrowings under the facility would mature on, November 25, 2008. The facility may only be used to repay, settle or otherwise extinguish the amounts required to be paid in connection with the litigation with BONY.

ERISA Partial Withdrawal Liability Assessment and Demand

        On June 8, 2007, SimplexGrinnell received a notice alleging that it had partially withdrawn from the National Automatic Sprinkler Industry Pension Fund (the "Fund"). Under Title IV of ERISA, if the fund can prove that an employer completely or partially withdraws from a multi-employer pension plan such as the Fund, the employer is liable for withdrawal liability equal to its proportionate share of the plan's unfunded vested benefits. The alleged withdrawal results from a 1994 labor dispute between Grinnell Fire Protection Systems, SimplexGrinnell's predecessor, and Road Sprinkler Fitters Local Union No. 669.

        ERISA requires that payment of withdrawal liability be made in full or in quarterly installments commencing upon receipt of a liability assessment from the plan. A plan's assessment of withdrawal liability generally may be challenged only in arbitration, and ERISA requires that quarterly payments must continue to be made during the pendency of the arbitration. If the employer prevails in arbitration (and any subsequent court appeals), its quarterly withdrawal liability payments are refunded with interest. The Fund's total withdrawal liability assessment against SimplexGrinnell is approximately $25 million, and the quarterly withdrawal liability payments are $1.1 million commencing on August 1, 2007. SimplexGrinnell believes that it has strong arguments that no withdrawal liability is owed to the Fund, and it plans to vigorously defend against the Fund's withdrawal liability assessment by timely filing for arbitration. Accordingly, the Company has made no provision for this contingency in its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Matters

        Earth Tech v. City of Phoenix is a contract dispute arising from Earth Tech's contract with the City of Phoenix, Arizona for expansion of the City's 91st Avenue Waste Water Treatment Plant. On December 21, 2005, Earth Tech filed a lawsuit against the City of Phoenix in the Maricopa County Superior Court alleging $3 million in damages plus interest for the City's failure to pay dewatering and computer systems costs related to the 91st Avenue project. After the City rejected Earth Tech's administrative claim against the City, Earth Tech filed and served a First Amended Complaint upon the City of Phoenix. In its First Amended Complaint, Earth Tech alleged eighteen causes of action and requested the following: (i) a recovery of at least $73 million for the value of the services performed by Earth Tech in connection with the contract; (ii) a rescission of the contract; (iii) an equitable adjustment of the Contract price for additional dewatering services and the Computer Control System; and (iv) costs for demobilization and termination of the contract. The City of Phoenix filed a Motion to

142



Dismiss rather than filing an answer to the First Amended Complaint on May 18, 2006. The Court granted the City's Motion to Dismiss without prejudice on September 19, 2006 allowing Earth Tech 30 days to file a Second Amended Complaint. Earth Tech filed its Second Amended Compliant against the City of Phoenix on September 25, 2006. In connection with this matter, the Company has assets, which it has assessed as recoverable, of $50 million at September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006.

        On December 29, 2005, the City of Phoenix filed a lawsuit against Earth Tech, Inc., its surety, Federal Insurance Company and other unnamed parties in the Maricopa County Superior Court, The City of Phoenix v. Earth Tech, Inc., Federal Insurance Company and John Does 1-50. The lawsuit is in connection with the City of Phoenix's termination on August 12, 2005 of Earth Tech's contract with the City of Phoenix, Arizona for expansion of the City's 91st Avenue Waste Water Treatment Plant. The City alleges the following causes of action: (i) Earth Tech breached its Pre-Construction Services and Construction Management at Risk Contracts; (ii) Earth Tech did not properly, reasonably or timely manage, supervise or inspect the work under the Contracts; (iii) Federal Insurance breached the terms and conditions of the performance bond; and (iv) Federal Insurance failed to investigate the City's Bond Claims. The City requested unspecified general, consequential, incidental, special and liquidated damages plus interest as its relief. On February 8, 2006, Earth Tech filed a Motion to Dismiss the City's Complaint in which Federal Insurance Company joined. The Court denied Earth Tech's Motion to Dismiss on September 25, 2006. The City of Phoenix filed an Amended Complaint against Earth Tech and Federal Insurance on September 25, 2006. In the Amended Complaint, the City of Phoenix alleged damages of $128 million.

        The Presiding Judge of Maricopa County Superior Court on July 11, 2006 consolidated all of the pending lawsuits related to this dispute on the Court's complex litigation docket. On June 6, 2007, the Court granted Earth Tech's motion for partial summary judgment, ordering that application of Arizona's Prompt Payment Act was appropriate and that any material inconsistencies in the contract be resolved in favor of the Act's requirements. On October 19, 2007, Earth Tech filed a second motion related to the Prompt Payment Act, arguing that the City of Phoenix breached its contract with Earth Tech by failing to make payment on a Payment Application that was deemed certified and approved under the Prompt Payment Act. The Court is likely to rule on the motion sometime in the spring of 2008. Tyco cannot predict the outcome of this matter and therefore cannot estimate the range of potential loss or extent of risk, if any, that may result from an adverse resolution of this matter.

        Fitzpatrick Contractors Limited v. Tyco Fire and Integrated Solutions (UK) Ltd. On July 18, 2007, Fitzpatrick Contractors Limited ("FCL") commenced an action against Tyco Fire and Integrated Solutions (UK) Ltd. in the High Court of Justice, Queen Bench Division, Technology and Construction Court, United Kingdom, alleging that Tyco entered into a binding contract in 2002 for the design, manufacture and installation of mechanical and electrical works for the refurbishment of a portion of London Transport's Blackwell Tunnel. FCL seeks a declaratory judgment that a contract was formed between the parties and seeks damages for breach of contract in the amount of approximately $38 million. Tyco believes it has valid counterclaims for unpaid amounts owed to it by FCL for design work, purchased equipment and subcontracted construction work associated with the project, but denies that it entered a binding contract with FCL for the project and intends to defend this action vigorously. While it is not possible at this time to predict the final outcome of this dispute, Tyco does not believe this action will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        Sensormatic Security Corp. v. Sensormatic Electronics Corp., ADT Security Services, Inc. and Wallace Computer Services, Inc. In April 2002, litigation was commenced in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland by a Sensormatic franchisee, Sensormatic Security Corp. ("SSC"), alleging breach of contract against Sensormatic and tortuous interference with contract against ADT and Wallace Computer Services, Inc., a party unrelated to Tyco. The litigation was based on allegedly unpaid commissions under a franchise agreement. The lawsuit also alleges that Sensormatic improperly authorized third parties (including ADT and Wallace) to sell in SSC's exclusive territory of Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. Sensormatic has agreed to indemnify Wallace. SSC seeks an accounting, monetary damages (including punitive damages against ADT and Wallace), and injunctive relief. Sensormatic and ADT have denied SSC's allegations and asserted affirmative defenses. Sensormatic also filed a counterclaim seeking recovery of overpayments made to SSC. On September 7, 2006, the trial court denied in part and granted in part the parties' cross motions for summary judgment. Among other things, the Court ruled that SSC has the right to commissions on all Sensormatic CCTV products (not just SensorVision systems) if sold for automatic theft detection in the franchise territory and SSC has the right to commissions on CCTV indirect sales if sold for automatic theft detection in the franchise territory. Sensormatic and ADT intend to appeal those rulings. Sensormatic and ADT will continue to vigorously defend the litigation. While it is not possible at this time to predict the final outcome of this dispute, Tyco does not believe this action will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        The Company is a defendant in a number of other pending legal proceedings incidental to present and former operations, acquisitions and dispositions. The Company does not expect the outcome of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

17.    Retirement Plans

        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158. SFAS No. 158 requires the recognition of the funded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. SFAS No. 158 requires recognition of the actuarial gains or losses and prior service costs that have not yet been included in net periodic benefit cost as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. The Company adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 158 on September 28, 2007. The Company uses a measurement date of August 31st.

        The table below presents the incremental effect of applying SFAS No. 158 on individual line items in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 28, 2007 ($ in millions):

        Defined Benefit Pension Plans—The Company has a number of noncontributory and contributory defined benefit retirement plans covering certain of its U.S. and non-U.S. employees, designed in accordance with conditions and practices in the countries concerned. Net periodic pension benefit cost is based on periodic actuarial valuations which use the projected unit credit method of calculation and is charged to the Consolidated Statements of Operations on a systematic basis over the expected average remaining service lives of current participants. Contribution amounts are determined based on the advice of professionally qualified actuaries in the countries concerned. The benefits under the defined benefit plans are based on various factors, such as years of service and compensation. The following tables exclude amounts related to discontinued operations for all periods presented.

        In connection with the Separation, the Company legally separated certain pension plans that included participants of Tyco Healthcare, Tyco Electronics and other subsidiaries. As a result, the Company remeasured the assets and projected benefit obligation of the separated pension plans. The impact of the remeasurement on continuing operations was immaterial. Also, during 2007, the Company completed the merger of certain pension plans in the United Kingdom, which resulted in an increase to the minimum pension liability with a corresponding decrease to accumulated other comprehensive income of $10 million, net of income taxes.

        The net periodic benefit cost for all U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans for 2007, 2006 and 2005 is as follows ($ in millions):

Rate of compensation increase     4.0 %   4.0 %   4.3 %   4.1 %   3.9 %   3.9 %

        The estimated net loss and prior service cost for U.S. pension benefit plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year are expected to be $6 million and $1 million, respectively.

        The estimated net loss and prior service credit for non-U.S. pension benefit plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year are expected to be $20 million and $3 million, respectively.

        The accumulated benefit obligation for all U.S. plans as of September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006 was $776 million and $795 million, respectively. The accumulated benefit obligation for all non-U.S. plans as of September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006 was $1,468 million and $1,413 million, respectively.

        The accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for U.S. pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $111 million and $67 million, respectively, at September 28, 2007 and $794 million and $719 million, respectively, at September 29, 2006.

        The accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for non-U.S. pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $1,278 million and $988 million, respectively, at September 28, 2007 and $1,402 million and $980 million, respectively, at September 29, 2006.

        The aggregate benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for U.S. pension plans with benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $111 million and $67 million, respectively, at September 28, 2007, and $802 million and $719 million, respectively, at September 29, 2006.

147



        The aggregate benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for non-U.S. pension plans with benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $1,519 million and $1,175 million, respectively, at September 28, 2007, and $1,492 million and $989 million, respectively, at September 29, 2006.

        In determining the expected return on plan assets, the Company considers the relative weighting of plan assets by class and individual asset class performance expectations as provided by its external advisors.

        The Company's investment strategy for its pension plans is to manage the plans on a going-concern basis. Current investment policy is to achieve a superior return on assets, subject to a prudent level of portfolio risk, for the purpose of enhancing the security of benefits for participants. For U.S. pension plans, this policy targets a 60% allocation to equity securities and a 40% allocation to debt securities. Various asset allocation strategies are in place for non-U.S. pension plans, with a weighted-average target allocation of 52% to equity securities, 43% to debt securities and 5% to other asset classes, including real estate and cash equivalents.

        Pension plans have the following weighted-average asset allocations:

 
  U.S. Plans
  Non-U.S. Plans
 
 
  2007
  2006
  2007
  2006
 
Asset Category:                  
Equity securities   60 % 60 % 50 % 57 %
Debt securities   40 % 40 % 44 % 36 %
Real estate       3 % 3 %
Cash and cash equivalents       3 % 4 %
   
 
 
 
 
  Total   100 % 100 % 100 % 100 %
   
 
 
 
 

        Although the Company does not buy or sell any of its own stock as a direct investment for its pension funds, due to external investment management of the funds, the plans may indirectly hold Tyco stock. The aggregate amount of the shares would not be considered material relative to the total fund assets.

        The Company's funding policy is to make contributions in accordance with the laws and customs of the various countries in which it operates as well as to make discretionary voluntary contributions from time-to-time. The Company anticipates that it will contribute at least the minimum required to its pension plans in 2008 of $5 million for the U.S. plans and $64 million for non-U.S. plans.

        Benefit payments, including those amounts to be paid out of corporate assets and reflecting future expected service as appropriate, are expected to be paid as follows ($ in millions):

 
  U.S. Plans
  Non-U.S. Plans
2008   $ 41   $ 52
2009     42     54
2010     44     59

        The Company also participates in a number of multi-employer defined benefit plans on behalf of certain employees. Pension expense related to multi-employer plans was $3 million, $3 million and $12 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

        Executive Retirement Arrangements—Messrs. Kozlowski and Swartz participated in individual Executive Retirement Arrangements maintained by Tyco (the "ERA"). Under the ERA, Messrs. Kozlowski and Swartz would have fixed lifetime benefits commencing at their normal retirement age of 65. The Company's accrued benefit obligations for Messrs. Kozlowski and Swartz as of September 28, 2007 were $71 million and $36 million, respectively. The Company's accrued benefit obligations for Messrs. Kozlowski and Swartz as of September 29, 2006 were $66 million and $34 million, respectively. Retirement benefits are available at earlier ages and alternative forms of benefits can be elected. Any such variations would be actuarially equivalent to the fixed lifetime benefit starting at age 65. Amounts owed to Messrs. Kozlowski and Swartz under the ERA are in dispute by the Company.

        Defined Contribution Retirement Plans—The Company maintains several defined contribution retirement plans, which include 401(k) matching programs, as well as qualified and nonqualified profit sharing and share bonus retirement plans. Expense for the defined contribution plans is computed as a percentage of participants' compensation and was $78 million, $73 million and $67 million for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company also maintains an unfunded Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP"). This plan is nonqualified and restores the employer match that certain employees lose due to IRS limits on eligible compensation under the defined contribution plans. Expense related to the SERP was $3 million in 2007, $2 million in 2006 and $3 million in 2005.

        Deferred Compensation Plans—The Company has nonqualified deferred compensation plans, which permit eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation. A record keeping account is set up for each participant and the participant chooses from a variety of measurement funds for the deemed investment of their accounts. The measurement funds correspond to a number of funds in the Company's 401(k) plans and the account balance fluctuates with the investment returns on those funds. Deferred compensation expense was $13 million, $6 million and $7 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Total deferred compensation liabilities were $100 million and $91 million at September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006, respectively.

        Rabbi Trusts—The Company has rabbi trusts, the assets of which may be used to pay non-qualified plan benefits. The trusts primarily hold corporate-owned life insurance policies, cash and cash equivalents, and debt and equity securities. During 2007, the Company, as permitted under the trust agreement, sold substantially all of the assets from one of the trusts and received $271 million of proceeds. At September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006, trust assets totaled $2 million and $265 million, respectively. The cash surrender value of the life insurance policies, net of outstanding loans, included in the rabbi trust was $224 million at September 29, 2006. The rabbi trust assets, which are consolidated, are subject to the claims of the Company's creditors in the event of the Company's insolvency. Plan participants are general creditors of the Company with respect to these benefits.

        Postretirement Benefit Plans—The Company generally does not provide postretirement benefits other than pensions for its employees. However, certain acquired operations provide these benefits to employees who were eligible at the date of acquisition, and a small number of U.S. and Canadian operations provide on going eligibility for such benefits.

        For measurement purposes, a 10.0% and 11.4% composite annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed at September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006, respectively. At September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006, the composite annual rate of increase in health care benefit costs was assumed to decrease gradually to 5.0% by the year 2013 and remain at that level thereafter.

        In December 2003, the US enacted into law the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the "Act"). The Act introduces a prescription drug benefit under Medicare (Medicare Part D), as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. Certain of the Company's retiree medical programs already provided prescription drug coverage for retirees over age 65 that were at least as generous as the benefits provided under Medicare. This Act reduces the Company's obligation in these instances. The Company included the effects of the Act in the Consolidated Financial Statements by reducing net periodic benefit cost by $5 million for 2005, and reflecting an actuarial gain which reduced its accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by approximately $30 million at September 30, 2005.

18.    Shareholders' Equity

        Preference Shares—Tyco has authorized 31,250,000 preference shares, par value of $4 per share, none of which were issued and outstanding at September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006. Rights as to dividends, return of capital, redemption, conversion, voting and otherwise with respect to the preference shares may be determined by Tyco's Board of Directors on or before the time of issuance. In the event of the liquidation of the Company, the holders of any preference shares then outstanding would be entitled to payment to them of the amount for which the preference shares were subscribed and any unpaid dividends prior to any payment to the common shareholders.

        Dividends—On September 13, 2007 Tyco's Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend on the Company's common shares of $0.15 per share payable on November 1, 2007 to shareholders of record of Tyco International Ltd. post Separation on October 1, 2007. Tyco paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 in the first quarter of 2005 and $0.40 thereafter.

        Shares Owned by Subsidiaries—Shares owned by subsidiaries are treated as treasury shares and are recorded at cost. In connection with the Separation, all such shares were effectively retired during the third quarter of 2007 and repurchases commenced in the fourth quarter of 2007.

        Share Repurchase Program—In September 2007, Tyco's Board of Directors approved a $1.0 billion share repurchase program. In July 2005 and May 2006, Tyco's Board of Directors approved share repurchase programs of $1.5 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively. During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company repurchased 1.3 million common shares for $56 million under the $1.0 billion share repurchase program. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company repurchased 5 million common shares for $659 million completing the $2.0 billion share repurchase program. During 2006, the Company repurchased 11 million common shares for $1.2 billion completing the $1.5 billion share repurchase program and 13 million common shares for $1.3 billion under the $2.0 billion share repurchase program. During 2005, the Company repurchased 3 million common shares for $300 million.

19.    Share Plans

        In connection with the Separation, share options were modified through the issuance of Covidien and Tyco Electronics share options. As a result of the one for four share split, share option exercise

152



prices for the Tyco awards were adjusted. Generally, employee share options converted into share options of the employer with the exception of corporate employees whose awards converted into share options of all three companies. The revisions made to the share options as a result of the Separation constituted a modification under the provisions of SFAS No. 123R which requires a comparison of fair values of the share options immediately before the Separation and the fair values immediately after the Separation. In certain instances, the fair value immediately after the separation was higher. As a result, the modification will result in incremental compensation cost of $18 million. Of this amount, $13 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2007 for vested share options ($11 million in discontinued operations) and $2 million will be recorded in continuing operations over the remaining vesting period of the share options. The continuing operations impact was included in separation costs. Except for the changes described, the principal terms of the share options remain unchanged from the original grant.

        Also in connection with the Separation, Tyco employee restricted share awards and restricted stock units (collectively, "restricted share awards") were modified through the issuance of Covidien and Tyco Electronics restricted shares or the conversion to shares of the employer. Restricted shares and restricted share units held by employees in the company in which they are not employed are subject to accelerated vesting provisions and vest 50% on the first day of trading after the Separation and 50% six months thereafter. This accelerated vesting will result in $14 million of accelerated compensation expense for Tyco's continuing operations. Tyco recorded $12 million as selling, general and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2007 and will record the remaining expense in the first quarter of 2008. Equity awards under the Save-As-You-Earn Plan (the "SAYE Plan") were not modified in connection with the Separation thereby resulting in additional compensation expense of $14 million, $5 million of which was recorded in 2007 ($2 million in discontinued operations), with the balance to be recorded over the remaining vesting period. Except for the changes described, the principal terms and conditions of restricted shares, restricted units and deferred stock units of the employees remain unchanged from the original grant.

        The Company amended the terms of performance based awards granted on November 22, 2005 to provide for vesting of the remaining awards without regard to the original performance measures. The original performance awards, which were previously adjusted to reflect the attainment of performance metrics through fiscal year 2006, were converted to time based restricted stock units of the employer, with the exception of corporate employees whose outstanding awards were converted to time based restricted stock units of the three separate companies.

        Effective October 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, the compensation cost recognized beginning October 1, 2005 includes compensation cost for (i) all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of October 1, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (ii) all share-based payments granted subsequent to September 30, 2005 based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. Compensation cost is generally recognized ratably over the requisite service period or period to retirement eligibility, if shorter. Prior period amounts have not been restated for the adoption of SFAS No. 123R.

153



        As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company's selling, general and administrative expenses for the years ended September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006 include incremental share-based compensation expense of $66 million and $82 million, respectively. Total share-based compensation cost recognized during 2007 was $297 million, which includes $155 million in selling, general and administrative expenses, $13 million in restructuring and asset impairment charges, net, $6 million in separation costs and $123 million in discontinued operations. Total share-based compensation cost recognized during 2006 was $288 million, which includes $155 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and $133 million in discontinued operations. Total share-based compensation cost recognized during 2005 was $108 million, which includes $59 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and $49 million in discontinued operations. The Company has recognized a related tax benefit associated with its share-based compensation arrangements during 2007, 2006 and 2005 of $78 million, $85 million and $36 million, respectively, of which $31 million, $41 million and $14 million is included in discontinued operations, respectively.

        Prior to October 1, 2005, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation plans in accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, and accordingly did not recognize compensation expense for the issuance of options with an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the stock at the date of grant. Had the fair value based method as prescribed by SFAS No. 123 been applied by Tyco, the effect on net income and earnings per share for 2005, adjusted for the impact of the Separation and the one for four reverse stock split, would have been as follows ($ in millions, except per share data):

 
  2005
 
Net income, as reported   $ 3,094  
Add: Employee compensation expense for share options included in reported net income, net of income taxes     23  
Less: Total employee compensation expense for share options determined under fair value method, net of income taxes     (169 )
   
 
Net income, pro forma   $ 2,948  
   
 
Earnings per share:        
  Basic—as reported   $ 6.15  
  Basic—pro forma     5.86  
  Diluted—as reported     5.85  
  Diluted—pro forma     5.60  

        During 2004, the Tyco International Ltd. 2004 Stock and Incentive Plan (the "2004 Plan") effectively replaced the Tyco International Ltd. Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended as of May 12, 1999 (the "LTIP I Plan"), the Tyco International Ltd. Long Term Incentive Plan II (the "LTIP II Plan"), as well as the Tyco International Ltd. 1994 Restricted Stock Ownership Plan for Key Employees (the "1994 Plan") for all awards effective on and after March 25, 2004. The 2004 Plan provides for the award of stock options, stock appreciation rights, annual performance bonuses, long term performance awards, restricted units, restricted stock, deferred stock units, promissory stock and other stock-based awards (collectively, "Awards").

154



        The 2004 Plan provides for a maximum of 36 million common shares to be issued as Awards, subject to adjustment as provided under the terms of the 2004 Plan. In addition, any common shares that have been approved by the Company's shareholders for issuance under the LTIP Plans but which have not been awarded thereunder as of January 1, 2004, reduced by the number of common shares related to Awards made under the LTIP Plans between January 1, 2004 and March 25, 2004, the date the 2004 Plan was approved by shareholders, (or which have been awarded but will not be issued, owing to expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, return to the Company or settlement in cash in lieu of common shares on or after January 1, 2004) and which are no longer available for any reason (including the termination of the LTIP Plans) will also be available for issuance under the 2004 Plan. When common shares are issued pursuant to a grant of restricted share awards, deferred stock units, promissory stock, and performance units or as payment of an annual performance bonus or other stock-based award, the total number of common shares remaining available for grant will be decreased by a margin of at least 1.8 per common share issued. At September 28, 2007, there were approximately 31 million shares available for future grant under the 2004 Plan (including shares available under both the LTIP I and LTIP II Plans that are now assumable under the 2004 Plan).

        The 1994 Plan provided for the issuance of restricted stock grants to officers and non-officer employees. The 1994 Plan expired in November 2004; thus no additional grants of restricted stock have been made under this plan since November 2004 and no shares are available for future grant. At September 28, 2007, 14 million shares had been granted, of which 10 million were granted under the 2004 Plan and 4 million were granted under the 1994 Plan.

        The LTIP I Plan reserved common shares for issuance to Tyco's directors, executives and managers as share options. This plan is administered by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, which consists exclusively of independent directors of the Company. At September 28, 2007, there were approximately 0.5 million shares originally reserved for issuance under this plan but now available for future grant under the 2004 Plan.

        The LTIP II Plan was a broad-based option plan for non-officer employees. The terms and conditions of this plan are similar to the LTIP I Plan. At September 28, 2007, there were approximately 0.1 million shares originally reserved for issuance under this plan that are now available for future grant under the 2004 Plan.

        Share Options—Options are granted to purchase common shares at prices which are equal to or greater than the market price of the common shares on the date the option is granted. Conditions of vesting are determined at the time of grant under the 2004 Plan. Options are generally exercisable in equal annual installments over a period of three or four years and will generally expire 10 years after the date of grant.

        At September 28, 2007, approximately 250 million share options had been granted of which 138 million, 76 million and 36 million were granted under the LTIP I, LTIP II and 2004 Plans, respectively.

        The grant-date fair value of each option grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. Use of a valuation model requires management to make

certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs. Expected volatility was calculated based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock and implied volatility derived from exchange traded options. Post Separation, expected volatility was calculated based on an analysis of historic and implied volatility measures for a set of peer companies. The average expected life was based on the contractual term of the option and expected employee exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life assumed at the date of grant. The compensation expense recognized is net of estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated based on voluntary termination behavior, as well as an analysis of actual option forfeitures. The weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for 2007, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:

 
  2007
  2006
  2005
 
Expected stock price volatility     30 %   34 %   35 %
Risk free interest rate     4.52 %   4.28 %   3.88 %
Expected annual dividend per share   $ 0.58   $ 0.64   $ 0.64  
Expected life of options (years)     4.7     4.2     4.1  

        The weighted-average grant-date fair values of options granted during 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $15.35, $14.33, and $17.44, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $163 million, $108 million and $142 million, respectively. The related excess cash tax benefit classified as a financing cash inflow for 2007 and 2006 was not significant.

        A summary of option activity as of September 28, 2007 and changes during the year then ended is presented below and has been adjusted for the conversion of Tyco share options to share options of Covidien and Tyco Electronics as well as the Separation:

        Employee Stock Purchase Plans—Substantially all full-time employees of the Company's U.S. subsidiaries and employees of certain qualified non-U.S. subsidiaries are eligible to participate in an employee share purchase plan. Eligible employees authorize payroll deductions to be made for the purchase of shares. The Company matches a portion of the employee contribution by contributing an additional 15% of the employee's payroll deduction. All shares purchased under the plan are purchased on the open market by a designated broker.

        Under the SAYE Plan, eligible employees in the United Kingdom are granted options to purchase shares at the end of three years of service at 85% of the market price at the time of grant. Options under the SAYE Plan are generally exercisable after a period of three years and expire six months after the date of vesting. The SAYE Plan provides for a maximum of 10 million common shares to be issued; as of September 28, 2007, there were 7 million shares available for future issuance. All of the shares purchased under the SAYE Plan are purchased on the open market.

        The grant-date-fair value of each option grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions for expected volatility, the average expected life, and the risk-free rate were made using the same methodology as previously described under Share Options.

        The weighted-average grant-date fair values of options granted under the SAYE Plan during 2006 and 2005 was $8.80, and $12.65, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $5 million, $24 million and $3 million, respectively. The related excess cash tax benefit classified as a financing cash inflow for 2007 and 2006 was not significant.

        As of September 28, 2007, there was $2 million in total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options granted under the SAYE Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a period of 1.3 fiscal years.

        Restricted Share Awards—Restricted share awards are granted subject to certain restrictions. Conditions of vesting are determined at the time of grant under the 2004 Plan. All restrictions on the award will lapse upon normal retirement, death or disability of the employee.

        For grants which vest based on certain specified performance criteria, the fair market value of the shares or units is expensed over the period of performance, once achievement of criteria is deemed probable. For grants that vest through passage of time, the fair market value of the award at the time of the grant is amortized to expense over the period of vesting. The fair value of restricted share awards is determined based on the market value of the Company's shares on the grant date. Restricted share awards generally vest after a period of three or four years, as determined by the Compensation Committee, upon attainment of various levels of performance that equal or exceed targeted levels, if applicable. The compensation expense recognized for restricted share awards is net of estimated forfeitures.

        Recipients of restricted shares have the right to vote such shares and receive dividends, whereas recipients of restricted units have no voting rights and receive dividend equivalents.

        A summary of the status of the Company's restricted share awards and performance shares as of September 28, 2007 and changes during the year then ended is presented in the tables below and has been adjusted for the conversion of Tyco restricted share awards and performance shares to restricted share awards and performance shares of Covidien and Tyco Electronics, the Separation and the one for four reverse stock split:

        The total fair value of performance shares vested during 2007 was $1 million while 2006 and 2005 was insignificant.

        As of September 28, 2007, there was $144 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to both non-vested restricted share awards and performance shares. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.1 fiscal years.

        Deferred Stock Units—Deferred Stock Units ("DSUs") are notional units that are tied to the value of Tyco common shares with distribution deferred until termination of employment. Distribution, when made, will be in the form of actual shares. Similar to restricted share grants that vest through the passage of time, the fair value of DSUs is determined based on the market value of the Company's shares on the grant date and is amortized to expense over the vesting period. Recipients of DSUs do not have the right to vote such shares and do not have the right to receive cash dividends. However, they have the right to receive dividend equivalents. Conditions of vesting are determined at the time of grant. Under the 2004 Plan, the majority of Tyco's DSU grants vest in equal annual installments over three years. The Company has granted 1 million DSUs, all of which were outstanding at September 28, 2007.

        A summary of the status of the Company's DSUs as of September 28, 2007 and changes during the year then ended is presented below and has been adjusted for the Separation and the one for four reverse stock split:

ARTICLE IV

AWARDS

 

4.1    Eligibility. All Participants and Employees are eligible to be designated to receive Awards granted under the Plan, except as otherwise provided in this Article IV.

 

4.2    Form of Awards. Awards will be in the form determined by the Committee, in its discretion, and will be evidenced by an Award Certificate. Awards may be granted singly or in combination or in tandem with other Awards.

 

4.3    Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee may grant Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan to those Employees whom the Committee may from time to time select, in the amounts and pursuant to the other terms and conditions that the Committee, in its discretion, may determine and set forth in the Award Certificate, subject to the provisions below:

 

(a)    Form. Stock Options granted under the Plan will, at the discretion of the Committee and as set forth in the Award Certificate, be in the form of Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options or a combination of the two. If an Incentive Stock Option and a Nonqualified Stock Option are granted to the same Participant under the Plan at the same time, the form of each will be clearly identified, and they will be deemed to have been granted in separate grants. In no event will the exercise of one Award affect the right to exercise the other Award. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted either alone or in connection with concurrently or previously granted Nonqualified Stock Options.

 

(b)    Exercise Price. The Committee will set the Exercise Price of Fair Market Value Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan at a price that is equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.3. The Committee will set the Exercise Price of Premium-Priced Stock Options at a price that is higher than the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the date of grant, provided that such price is no higher than 150 percent of such Fair Market Value. The Exercise Price of Incentive Stock Options will be equal to or greater than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the date of grant if the Participant receiving the Stock Options owns stock possessing more than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any subsidiary or parent corporation of the Company, as defined in Section 424 of the Code. The Exercise Price of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with a Stock Option will equal the Exercise Price of the related Stock Option. The Committee will set forth the Exercise Price of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right in the Award Certificate. Stock Options granted under the Plan will, at the discretion of the Committee and as set forth in the Award Certificate, be Fair Market Value Stock Options, Premium-Priced Stock Options or a combination of Fair Market Value Stock Options and Premium-Priced Stock Options.

 

(c)    Term and Timing of Exercise. Each Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan will be exercisable in whole or in part, subject to the following conditions, unless determined otherwise by the Committee:

 

(i)    The Committee will determine and set forth in the Award Certificate the date on which any Award of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights to a Participant may first be exercised. Unless the applicable Award Certificate provides otherwise, a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right will become exercisable in equal annual installments over a period of four years beginning immediately after the date on which the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right was granted, and will lapse 10 years after the date of grant, except as otherwise provided herein.

 

7



 

(ii)    Unless the applicable Award Certificate provides otherwise, upon the death, Disability or Normal Retirement of a Participant who has outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, the unvested Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights will vest. Unless the applicable Award Certificate provides otherwise, the Participant’s Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights will lapse, and will not thereafter be exercisable, upon the earlier of (A) their original expiration date or (B) the date that is three years after the date on which the Participant dies, incurs a Disability or retires.

 

(iii)    Unless the applicable Award Certificate provides otherwise, upon the Termination of Employment of a Participant for any reason other than the Participant’s death, Disability or Normal Retirement or a Change in Control, if the Participant has attained age 55, and the sum of the Participant’s age and years of service with the Company is 60 or higher, a pro rata portion of the Participant’s Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights will vest so that the total number of vested Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights held by the Participant at Termination of Employment (including those that have already vested as of such date) will be equal to (A) the total number of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights originally granted to the Participant under each Award multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the period of time (in whole months) that have elapsed since the date of grant, and the denominator of which is four years (or such other applicable vesting term as is set forth in the Award Certificate). Unless the Award Certificate provides otherwise, such Participant’s Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights will lapse, and will not thereafter be exercisable, upon the earlier of (A) their original expiration date or (B) the date that is three years after the date of Termination of Employment.

 

(iv)  Upon the Termination of Employment of a Participant that does not meet the requirements of paragraphs (ii) or (iii) above, any unvested Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights will be forfeited unless the Award Certificate provides otherwise. Any Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights that are vested as of such Termination of Employment will lapse, and will not thereafter be exercisable, upon the earlier of (A) their original expiration date or (B) the date that is six months after the date of such Termination of Employment unless the Award Certificate provides otherwise.

 

(v)  Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights of a deceased Participant may be exercised only by the estate of the Participant or by the person given authority to exercise the Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights by the Participant’s will or by operation of law. If a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right is exercised by the executor or administrator of a deceased Participant, or by the person or persons to whom the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right has been transferred by the Participant’s will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, the Company will be under no obligation to deliver Shares or cash until the Company is satisfied that the person exercising the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right is the duly appointed executor or administrator of the deceased Participant or the person to whom the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right has been transferred by the Participant’s will or by applicable laws of descent and distribution.

 

(vi)  A Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with a Stock Option is subject to the same terms and conditions as the related Stock Option and will be exercisable only to the extent that the related Stock Option is exercisable.

 

(vii)  Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights will become immediately exercisable upon a Change in Control.

 

(d)    Payment of Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of a Stock Option must be paid in full when the Stock Option is exercised. Stock certificates will be registered and delivered only upon receipt of payment. Payment of the Exercise Price may be made in cash or by certified check, bank draft, wire transfer, or postal or express money order, provided that the format is approved by the Company or a designated third-party administrator. The Committee, in its discretion may also allow payment to be made by any of the following methods, as set forth in the Award Certificate:

 

(i)    Delivering a properly executed exercise notice to the Company or its agent, together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver to the Company, within the typical settlement cycle for the sale of equity securities on the relevant trading market (or otherwise in accordance with the provisions of

 

8



 

Regulation T issued by the Federal Reserve Board), the amount of sale proceeds with respect to the portion of the Shares to be acquired having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the sum of the applicable portion of the Exercise Price being so paid;

 

(ii)    Tendering (actually or by attestation) to the Company previously acquired Shares that have been held by the Participant for at least six months, subject to paragraph (iv), and that have a Fair Market Value on the day prior to the date of exercise equal to the applicable portion of the Exercise Price being so paid, provided that the Board has specifically approved the repurchase of such Shares (unless such approval is not required by the terms of the bye-laws of the Company) and the Committee has determined that, as of the date of repurchase, the Company is, and after the repurchase will continue to be, able to pay its liabilities as they become due; or

 

(iii)    Provided such payment method has been expressly authorized by the Board or the Committee in advance and subject to any requirements of applicable law and regulations, instructing the Company to reduce the number of Shares that would otherwise be issued by such number of Shares as have in the aggregate a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the applicable portion of the Exercise Price being so paid.

 

(iv)    The Committee, in consideration of applicable accounting standards, may waive any holding period on Shares required to tender pursuant to clause (ii).

 

(e)    Incentive Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan will be subject to the following additional conditions, limitations and restrictions:

 

(i)    Eligibility. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees of the Company or a Subsidiary that is a subsidiary or parent corporation of the Company, within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code.

 

(ii)    Timing of Grant. No Incentive Stock Option will be granted under the Plan after the 10-year anniversary of the date on which the Plan is adopted by the Board or, if earlier, the date on which the Plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders.

 

(iii)    Amount of Award. Subject to Section 5.3 of the Plan, no more than 10 million Shares may be available for grant in the form of Incentive Stock Options. The aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date of grant) of the Shares with respect to which the Incentive Stock Options awarded to any Employee first become exercisable during any calendar year may not exceed $100,000 (U.S.). For purposes of this $100,000 (U.S.) limit, the Employee’s Incentive Stock Options under this Plan and all other plans maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries will be aggregated. To the extent any Incentive Stock Option would exceed the $100,000 (U.S.) limit, the Incentive Stock Option will afterwards be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option for all purposes.

 

(iv)    Timing of Exercise. If the Committee exercises its discretion in the Award Certificate to permit an Incentive Stock Option to be exercised by a Participant more than three months after the Participant has ceased being an Employee (or more than 12 months if the Participant is permanently and totally disabled, within the meaning of Section 22(e) of the Code), the Incentive Stock Option will afterwards be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option for all purposes. For purposes of this paragraph (iv), an Employee’s employment relationship will be treated as continuing intact while the Employee is on military leave, sick leave or another approved leave of absence if the period of leave does not exceed 90 days, or a longer period to the extent that the Employee’s right to reemployment with the Company or a Subsidiary is guaranteed by statute or by contract. If the period of leave exceeds 90 days and the Employee’s right to reemployment is not guaranteed by statute or contract, the employment relationship will be deemed to have ceased on the 91st day of the leave.

 

(v)    Transfer Restrictions. In no event will the Committee permit an Incentive Stock Option to be transferred by an Employee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and any Incentive Stock Option awarded under this Plan will be exercisable only by the Employee during the Employee’s lifetime.

(f)    Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights. Upon exercise of a Participant’s Stock Appreciation Rights, the Company will pay cash or Shares or a combination of cash and Shares, in the discretion of the Committee and as described in the Award Certificate. Cash payments will be equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise (or, if the Committee shall so determine, any date during a specified period before or after the date of exercise) over the Exercise Price, for each Share for which a Stock Appreciation Right was exercised. If Shares are paid for the Stock Appreciation Right, the Participant will receive a number of whole Shares equal to the quotient of the cash payment amount divided by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise. The Committee may make payments after exercise in a lump sum or defer full payment by annual installments or otherwise.

 

(g)    No Repricing. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.3, in no event will the Committee decrease the Exercise Price of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right after the date of grant or cancel outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights and grant replacement Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with a lower Exercise Price than that of the replaced Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or other Awards without first obtaining the approval of the holders of a majority of the Shares who are present in person or by proxy at a meeting of the Company’s stockholders and entitled to vote.

 

4.4    Annual Performance Bonuses. The Committee may grant Annual Performance Bonuses under the Plan in the form of cash or Shares to the Reporting Persons that the Committee may from time to time select, in the amounts and pursuant to the terms and conditions that the Committee may determine and set forth in the Award Certificate, subject to the provisions below:

 

(a)    Performance Cycles. Annual Performance Bonuses will be awarded in connection with a 12-month Performance Cycle, which will be the fiscal year of the Company.

 

(b)    Eligible Participants. Within 90 days after the commencement of a Performance Cycle, the Committee will determine the Reporting Persons who will be eligible to receive an Annual Performance Bonus under the Plan.

 

(c)    Performance Measures; Targets; Award Criteria.

 

(i)    Within 90 days after the commencement of a Performance Cycle, the Committee will fix and establish in writing (A) the Performance Measures that will apply to that Performance Cycle; (B) the Target Amount payable to each Participant; and (C) subject to subsection (d) below, the criteria for computing the amount that will be paid with respect to each level of attained performance. The Committee will also set forth the minimum level of performance, based on objective factors, that must be attained during the Performance Cycle before any Annual Performance Bonus will be paid and the percentage of the Target Amount that will become payable upon attainment of various levels of performance that equal or exceed the minimum required level.

 

(ii)   The Committee may, in its discretion, select Performance Measures that measure the performance of the Company or one or more business units, divisions or Subsidiaries of the Company. The Committee may select Performance Measures that are absolute or relative to the performance of one or more comparable companies or an index of comparable companies.

 

(iii)  The Committee, in its discretion, may, on a case-by-case basis, reduce, but not increase, the amount payable to any Key Employee with respect to any given Performance Cycle, provided, however, that no reduction will result in an increase in the amount payable under any Annual Performance Bonus of another Key Employee.

 

(d)    Payment, Certification. No Annual Performance Bonus will vest with respect to any Reporting Person until the Committee certifies in writing the level of performance attained for the Performance Cycle in relation to the applicable Performance Measures. In applying Performance Measures, the Committee may, in its discretion, exclude unusual or infrequently occurring items (including any event listed in Section 5.3 and the cumulative effect of changes in the law, regulations or accounting rules), and may determine no later than ninety (90) days after the commencement of any applicable Performance Cycle to exclude other items, each determined in accordance with GAAP (to the extent applicable) and as identified in the financial

statements, notes to the financial statements or discussion and analysis of management.

 

(e)    Form of Payment. Annual Performance Bonuses will be paid in cash or Shares. All such Performance Bonuses shall be paid no later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the calendar year (or, if later, following the end of the Company’s fiscal year) in which such Performance Bonuses are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (as determined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code), except to the extent that a Participant has elected to defer payment under the terms of a duly authorized deferred compensation arrangement.

 

(f)    Section 162(m) of the Code. It is the intent of the Company that Annual Performance Bonuses be “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, that this Section 4.4 be interpreted in a manner that satisfies the applicable requirements of Section 162(m)(C) of the Code and related regulations, and that the Plan be operated so that the Company may take a full tax deduction for Annual Performance Bonuses. If any provision of this Plan or any Annual Performance Bonus would otherwise frustrate or conflict with this intent, the provision will be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid this conflict.

 

(g)    Acceleration. Each Participant who has been granted an Annual Performance Bonus that is outstanding as of the date of a Change of Control will be deemed to have achieved a level of performance, as of the date of Change in Control, that would cause all (100%) of the Participant’s Target Amount to become payable.

 

4.5    Long Term Performance Awards. The Committee may grant Long Term Performance Awards under the Plan in the form of Performance Units, Restricted Units or Restricted Stock to any Reporting Person who the Committee may from time to time select, in the amounts and pursuant to the terms and conditions that the Committee may determine and set forth in the Award Certificate, subject to the provisions below:

 

(a)    Performance Cycles. Long Term Performance Awards will be awarded in connection with a Performance Cycle, as determined by the Committee in its discretion, provided, however, that a Performance Cycle may be no shorter than 12 months and no longer than 5 years.

 

(b)    Eligible Participants. Within 90 days after the commencement of a Performance Cycle, the Committee will determine the Reporting Persons who will be eligible to receive a Long Term Performance Award for the Performance Cycle, provided that the Committee may determine the eligibility of any Employee other than a Key Employee after the expiration of this 90-day period.

 

(c)    Performance Measures; Targets; Award Criteria.

 

(i)    Within 90 days after the commencement of a Performance Cycle, the Committee will fix and establish in writing (A) the Performance Measures that will apply to that Performance Cycle; (B) with respect to Performance Units, the Target Amount payable to each Participant; (C) with respect to Restricted Units and Restricted Stock, the Target Vesting Percentage for each Participant; and (D) subject to subsection (d) below, the criteria for computing the amount that will be paid or will vest with respect to each level of attained performance. The Committee will also set forth the minimum level of performance, based on objective factors, that must be attained during the Performance Cycle before any Long Term Performance Award will be paid or vest, and the percentage of Performance Units that will become payable and the percentage of performance-based Restricted Units or Shares of Restricted Stock that will vest upon attainment of various levels of performance that equal or exceed the minimum required level.

 

(ii)   The Committee may, in its discretion, select Performance Measures that measure the performance of the Company or one or more business units, divisions or Subsidiaries of the Company. The Committee may select Performance Measures that are absolute or relative to the performance of one or more comparable companies or an index of comparable companies.

 

(iii)  The Committee, in its discretion, may, on a case-by-case basis, reduce, but not increase, the amount of Long Term Performance Awards payable to any Key Employee with respect to any given Performance Cycle, provided, however, that no reduction will result in an increase in the dollar amount or number of Shares payable under any Long Term Performance Award of another Key Employee.

 

11



 

(d)    Payment, Certification. No Long Term Performance Award will vest with respect to any Reporting Person until the Committee certifies in writing the level of performance attained for the Performance Cycle in relation to the applicable Performance Measures. Long Term Performance Awards awarded to Participants who are not Key Employees will be based on the Performance Measures  and payment formulas that the Committee, in its discretion, may establish for these purposes. These Performance Measures and formulas may be the same as or different than the Performance Measures and formulas that apply to Key Employees.

 

In applying Performance Measures, the Committee may, in its discretion, exclude unusual or infrequently occurring items (including any event listed in Section 5.3 and the cumulative effect of changes in the law, regulations or accounting rules, and may determine no later than ninety (90) days after the commencement of any applicable Performance Cycle to exclude other items, each determined in accordance with GAAP (to the extent applicable) and as identified in the financial statements, notes to the financial statements or discussion and analysis of management.

 

(e)    Form of Payment. Long Term Performance Awards in the form of Performance Units may be paid in cash or full Shares, in the discretion of the Committee, and as set forth in the Award Certificate. Performance-based Restricted Units and Restricted Stock will be paid in full Shares. Payment with respect to any fractional Share will be in cash in an amount based on the Fair Market Value of the Share as of the date the Performance Unit becomes payable.

 

(f)    Section 162(m) of the Code. It is the intent of the Company that Long Term Performance Awards be “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, that this Section 4.5 be interpreted in a manner that satisfies the applicable requirements of Section 162(m)(C) of the Code and related regulations, and that the Plan be operated so that the Company may take a full tax deduction for Long Term Performance Awards. If any provision of this Plan or any Long Term Performance Award would otherwise frustrate or conflict with this intent, the provision will be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid this conflict.

 

(g)    Retirement. If a Participant would be entitled to a Long Term Performance Award but for the fact that the Participant’s employment with the Company terminated prior to the end of the Performance Cycle, the Participant may, in the Committee’s discretion, receive a Long Term Performance Award, pro rated for the portion of the Performance Cycle that the Participant completed and payable at the same time after the end of the Performance Cycle that payments to other Long Term Performance Award recipients are made, if the sum of the Participant’s age and years of service with the Company was 60 or higher at the time of Termination of Employment or if the Participant retired under a Normal Retirement.

 

(h)    Acceleration. Each Participant who has been granted a Long Term Performance Award that is outstanding as of the date of a Change of Control will be deemed to have achieved a level of performance, as of the date of Change in Control, that would cause all (100%) of the Participant’s Target Amount to become payable and all restrictions on the Participant’s performance-based Restricted Units and Shares of Restricted Stock to lapse.

 

4.6    Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee may, from time to time, grant Awards (other than Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Annual Performance Bonuses or Long Term Performance Awards) to any Employee who the Committee may from time to time select, which Awards consist of, or are denominated in, payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise related to, Shares. These Awards may include, among other forms, Restricted Stock, Restricted Units, or Deferred Stock Units. The Committee will determine, in its discretion, the terms and conditions that will apply to Awards granted pursuant to this Section 4.6, which terms and conditions will be set forth in the applicable Award Certificate.

 

(a)    Vesting. Unless the Award Certificate provides otherwise, restrictions on Stock-Based Awards granted under this Section 4.6 will lapse in equal annual installments over a period of four years beginning immediately after the date of grant. If the restrictions on Stock-Based Awards have not lapsed or been satisfied as of the Participant’s Termination of Employment, the Shares will be forfeited by the Participant if the termination is for any reason other than the Normal Retirement, death or Disability of the Participant or a Change in Control, except that the Award will vest pro rata with respect to the portion of the four-year vesting term (or such other vesting term as is set forth in the Award Certificate) that the Participant has completed if the Participant has attained age 55, the sum of the Participant’s age and years of service with the Company is 60 or higher and the Participant has

 

12



 

satisfied all other applicable conditions established by the Committee with respect to such pro rata vesting. Unless the Award Certificate provides otherwise, all restrictions on Stock-Based Awards granted pursuant to this Section 4.6 will lapse upon the Normal Retirement, death or Disability of the Participant or a Change in Control.

 

(b)    Grant of Restricted Stock. The Committee may grant Restricted Stock to any Employee, which Shares will be registered in the name of the Participant and held for the Participant by the Company. The Participant will have all rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares, including the right to vote and to receive dividends or other distributions, except that the Shares may be subject to a vesting schedule and will be forfeited if the Participant attempts to sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber or dispose of the Shares before the restrictions are satisfied or lapse.

 

(c)    Grant of Restricted Units. The Committee may grant Restricted Units to any Employee, which Units will be paid in cash or whole Shares or a combination of cash and Shares, in the discretion of the Committee, when the restrictions on the Units lapse and any other conditions set forth in the Award Certificate have been satisfied. For each Restricted Unit that vests, one Share will be paid or an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the date on which the Restricted Unit vests.

 

(d)    Grant of Deferred Stock Units. The Committee may grant Deferred Stock Units to any Employee, which Units will be paid in whole Shares upon the Employee’s Termination of Employment if the restrictions on the Units have lapsed. One Share will be paid for each Deferred Stock Unit that becomes payable.

 

(e)    Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. At the discretion of the Committee, dividends issued on Shares may be paid immediately or withheld and deferred in the Participant’s account. In the event of a payment of dividends on Common Stock, the Committee may credit Restricted Units with Dividend Equivalents in accordance with terms and conditions established in the discretion of the Committee. Dividend Equivalents will be subject to such vesting terms as is determined by the Committee and may be distributed immediately or withheld and deferred in the Participant’s account as determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. Deferred Stock Units may, in the discretion of the Committee and as set forth in the Award Certificate, be credited with Dividend Equivalents or additional Deferred Stock Units. The number of any Deferred Stock Units credited to a Participant’s account upon the payment of a dividend will be equal to the quotient produced by dividing the cash value of the dividend by the Fair Market Value of one Share as of the date the dividend is paid. The Committee will determine any terms and conditions on deferral of a dividend or Dividend Equivalent, including the rate of interest to be credited on deferral and whether interest will be compounded.

 

4.7    Director Awards.

 

(a)   As of the first day of each fiscal year of the Company, the Committee will grant Deferred Stock Units to each Director in such an amount as the Board, in its discretion, may approve in advance, provided that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying the Deferred Stock Units granted to any Director in a year may not exceed $200,000 (U.S.) determined as of the date of grant. Each such Deferred Stock Unit will vest as determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Certificate and will be paid in Shares within 30 days following the recipient’s Termination of Directorship. Dividend Equivalents or additional Deferred Stock Units will be credited to each Director’s account when dividends are paid on Common Stock to the shareholders, and will be paid to the Director at the same time that the Deferred Stock Units are paid to the Director.

 

(b)   The Committee may, in its discretion, grant Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and other Stock-Based Awards to Directors, provided that in no event may a Director in any fiscal year be granted more than 10,000 Shares pursuant to such Awards, excluding Deferred Stock Units.

 

4.8    Substitute Awards. The Committee may make Awards under the Plan to Acquired Grantees through the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding stock-based awards previously granted to such Acquired Grantees. Such assumed or substituted Awards will be subject to the terms and conditions of the original awards made by the Acquired Company, with such adjustments therein as the Committee considers appropriate to give effect to the relevant provisions of any agreement for the acquisition of the Acquired Company. Any grant of Incentive Stock Options pursuant to this Section 4.8 will be made in accordance with Section 424 of the Code and any final regulations published thereunder.

 

4.9    Limit on Individual Grants. Subject to Sections 5.1 and 5.3, no Employee may be granted more than 6 million

 

13



 

Shares over any calendar year pursuant to Awards of Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and performance-based Restricted Stock and Restricted Units, except that an incentive Award of no more than 10 million Shares may be made pursuant to Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and performance-based Restricted Stock and Restricted Units to any person who has been hired within the calendar year as a Key Employee. The maximum amount that may be paid in cash or Shares pursuant to Annual Performance Bonuses or Long Term Performance Awards paid in Performance Units to any one Employee is $5 million (U.S.) for any Performance Cycle of 12 months. For any longer Performance Cycle, this maximum will be adjusted proportionally.

 

4.10    Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a Participant incurs a Termination of Directorship or Termination of Employment for Cause, then all Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Annual Performance Bonuses, Long Term Performance Awards, Restricted Units, Restricted Stock and other Stock-Based Awards will immediately be cancelled. The exercise of any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right or the payment of any Award may be delayed, in the Committee’s discretion, in the event that a potential termination for Cause is pending.

 

ARTICLE V

SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN; ADJUSTMENTS

 

5.1    Shares Available. The Shares issuable under the Plan will be authorized but unissued Shares, and, to the extent permissible under applicable law, Shares acquired by the Company, any Subsidiary or any other person or entity designated by the Company. The total number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be issued under the Plan may equal, but may not exceed, 160 million Shares, and subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 5.3; provided that when Shares are issued pursuant to a grant of Restricted Stock, Restricted Units, Deferred Stock Units,  Performance Units or as payment of an Annual Performance Bonus or other Stock-Based Award, the total number of Shares remaining available for grant will be decreased by a margin of at least 1.8 per Share issued. No more than 10 million Shares of the total Shares issuable under the Plan may be available for grant in the form of Incentive Stock Options.

 

5.2    Counting Rules. The following Shares related to Awards under this Plan may again be available for issuance under the Plan, in addition to the Shares described in Section 5.1:

 

(a)   Shares related to Awards paid in cash;

 

(b)   Shares related to Awards that expire, are forfeited or cancelled or terminate for any other reason without issuance of Shares;

 

(c)   Shares that are tendered or withheld in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price of a Stock Option awarded under this Plan, or in satisfaction of withholding tax obligations arising under this Plan;

 

(d)   Any Shares issued in connection with Awards that are assumed, converted or substituted as a result of the acquisition of an Acquired Company by the Company or a combination of the Company with another company; and

 

(e)   Any Shares of Restricted Stock that are returned to the Company upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment.

 

5.3    Adjustments. In the event of a change in the outstanding Shares by reason of a stock split, reverse stock split, dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other property), extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, reorganization, combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities or similar corporate transaction or event, the Committee shall make an appropriate adjustment to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan . Any adjustment made by the Committee under this Section 5.3 will be conclusive and binding for all purposes under the Plan.

 

5.4    Change in Control.

 

(a)    Acceleration. All outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights will become exercisable as of the effective date of a Change in Control if the Awards are not otherwise vested, and all conditions will be waived with respect to outstanding Restricted Stock and Restricted Units (other than Long Term Performance Awards) and Deferred Stock Units. Each Participant who has been granted an Annual Performance Bonus or Long

 

14



 

Term Performance Award that is outstanding as of the date of Change in Control will be deemed to have achieved a level of performance, as of the Change in Control, that would cause all (100%) of the Participant’s Target Amounts to become payable and all restrictions on the Participant’s Restricted Units and Shares of Restricted Stock to lapse.

 

(b)    Adjustment, Conversion and Payment. In addition to the foregoing, no later than 90 days after the date of Change in Control, the Committee (as constituted prior to the date of Change in Control) shall provide, in its discretion, for any of the following actions to apply to each Award that is outstanding as of the date of Change in Control: (i) an adjustment to such Award as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect such Change in Control; (ii) the acquisition of such Award, or substitution of a new right therefor, by the acquiring or surviving corporation after such Change in Control, or (iii) the purchase of such Award, at the Participant’s request, for an amount of cash equal to the amount that could have been attained upon the exercise or redemption of such Award immediately prior to the Change in Control had such Award been exercisable or payable at such time. Any payment made pursuant to this Section 5.4(b) shall include the value of any Dividend Equivalents credited with respect to such Award and accrued interest on such Dividend Equivalents. The Committee may specify how an Award will be treated in the event of a Change in Control either when the Award is granted or at any time thereafter.

 

5.5    Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares will be issued under the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.5(e), if a Participant acquires the right to receive a fractional Share under the Plan, the Participant will receive, in lieu of the fractional Share, a full Share as of the date of settlement.

 

ARTICLE VI

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

 

6.1    Amendment. The Plan may be amended at any time and from time to time by the Board without the approval of stockholders of the Company, except that no material revision to the terms of the Plan will be effective until the amendment is approved by the stockholders of the Company. A revision is “material” for this purpose if, among other changes, it materially increases the number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan (other than an increase pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Plan), expands the types of Awards available under the Plan, materially expands the class of persons eligible to receive Awards under the Plan, materially extends the term of the Plan, materially decreases the Exercise Price at which Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted, reduces the Exercise Price of outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, or results in the replacement of outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights with new Awards that have an Exercise Price that is lower than the Exercise Price of the replaced Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. The Board may, in its discretion, increase the maximum dollar amount of Deferred Stock Units that may be granted to a Director in any fiscal year and the maximum number of Shares that may be granted to a Director in any fiscal year pursuant to Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and other Stock-Based Awards. No amendment of the Plan made without the Participant’s written consent may adversely affect any right of a Participant with respect to an outstanding Award.

 

6.2    Termination. The Plan will terminate upon the earlier of the following dates or events to occur:

 

(a)    the adoption of a resolution of the Board terminating the Plan; or

 

(b)    the day before the 10th anniversary of the adoption of the Plan by the Company’s shareholder as described in Section 1.2.

 

No Awards will be granted under this Plan after it has terminated. The termination of the Plan, however, will not alter or impair any of the rights or obligations of any person under any Award previously granted under the Plan without such person’s consent. After the termination of the Plan, any previously granted Awards will remain in effect and will continue to be governed by the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Certificate.

 

ARTICLE VII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

7.1    Nontransferability of Awards. No Award under the Plan will be subject in any manner to alienation, anticipation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or transfer, and no other persons will otherwise acquire any rights

 

15



 

therein, except as provided below.

 

(a)    Any Award may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent or distribution.

 

(b)    The Committee may provide in the applicable Award Certificate that all or any part of a Nonqualified Option or Shares of Restricted Stock may, subject to the prior written consent of the Committee, be transferred to a family member. For purposes of this subsection (b), “family member” includes any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law of the Participant, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the Participant’s household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which these persons have more than fifty percent of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or the Participant) control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the Participant) own more than fifty percent of the voting interests.

 

Any transferred Award will be subject to all of the same terms and conditions as provided in the Plan and the applicable Award Certificate. The Participant or the Participant’s estate will remain liable for any withholding tax that may be imposed by any federal, state or local tax authority. The Committee may, in its discretion, disallow all or a part of any transfer of an Award pursuant to this subsection (b) unless and until the Participant makes arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for the payment of any withholding tax. The Participant must immediately notify the Committee, in the form and manner required by the Committee, of any proposed transfer of an Award pursuant to this subsection (b). No transfer will be effective until the Committee consents to the transfer in writing.

 

(c)    Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Certificate, any Nonqualified Stock Option transferred by a Participant pursuant to this subsection (c) may be exercised by the transferee only to the extent that the Award would have been exercisable by the Participant had no transfer occurred. The transfer of Shares upon exercise of the Award will be conditioned on the payment of any withholding tax.

 

(d)    Restricted Stock may be freely transferred after the restrictions lapse or are satisfied and the Shares are delivered, provided, however, that Restricted Stock awarded to an affiliate of the Company may be transferred only pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or pursuant to an effective registration for resale under the Securities Act. For purposes of this subsection (d), “affiliate” will have the meaning assigned to that term under Rule 144.

 

(e)    In no event may a Participant transfer an Incentive Stock Option other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

 

7.2    Withholding of Taxes. The Committee, in its discretion, may satisfy a Participant’s tax withholding obligations by any of the following methods or any method as it determines to be in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Participant resides, has domicile or performs services.

 

(a)    Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. As a condition to the delivery of Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, the Committee may require that the Participant, at the time of exercise, pay to the Company by cash, certified check, bank draft, wire transfer or postal or express money order an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligations. The Committee may also, in its discretion, accept payment of tax withholding obligations through any of the Exercise Price payment methods described in Section 4.3(d).

 

(b)    Other Awards Payable in Shares. The Participant shall satisfy the Participant’s tax withholding obligations arising in connection with the release of restrictions on Restricted Units, Restricted Stock and other Stock-Based Awards by payment to the Company in cash or by certified check, bank draft, wire transfer or postal or express money order, provided that the format is approved by the Company or a designated third-party administrator. However, subject to any requirements of applicable law, the Company may also satisfy the Participant’s tax withholding obligations by other methods, including selling or withholding Shares that would otherwise be available for delivery, provided that the Board or the Committee has specifically approved such payment method in advance.

 

16



 

(c)    Cash Awards. The Company may satisfy a Participant’s tax withholding obligation arising in connection with the payment of any Award in cash by withholding cash from such payment.

 

7.3    Special Forfeiture Provision. The Committee may, in its discretion, provide in an Award Certificate that the Participant may not, within two years of the Participant’s Termination of Employment with the Company, enter into any employment or consultation arrangement (including service as an agent, partner, stockholder, consultant, officer or director) with any entity or person engaged in any business in which the Company or any Subsidiary is engaged without prior written approval of the Committee if, in the sole judgment of the Committee, the business is competitive with the Company or any Subsidiary or business unit or such employment or consultation arrangement would present a risk that the Participant would likely disclose Company proprietary information (as determined by the Committee). If the Committee makes a determination that this prohibition has been violated, the Participant (i) will forfeit all rights under any outstanding Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right that was granted subject to the Award Certificate and will return to the Company the amount of any profit realized upon an exercise of all Awards during the period, as the Committee determines and sets forth in the Award Certificate, beginning no earlier than six months prior to the Participant’s Termination of Employment, and (ii) will forfeit and return to the Company any Annual Performance Bonuses, Performance Units, Shares of Restricted Stock, Restricted Units (including any credited Dividend Equivalents), Deferred Stock Units, and other Stock-Based Awards that are outstanding on the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment, subject to the Award Certificate, and have not vested or that became vested and remain subject to this Section 7.3 during a period, as the Committee determines and sets forth in the Award Certificate, beginning no earlier than six months prior to the Participant’s Termination of Employment.

 

7.4    No Implied Rights. The establishment and operation of the Plan, including the eligibility of a Participant to participate in the Plan, will not be construed as conferring any legal or other right upon any Director for any continuation of directorship or any Employee for the continuation of employment through the end of any Performance Cycle or other period. The Company expressly reserves the right, which may be exercised at any time and in the Company’s sole discretion, to discharge any individual or treat him or her without regard to the effect that discharge might have upon him or her as a Participant in the Plan.

 

7.5    No Obligation to Exercise Awards. The grant of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right will impose no obligation upon the Participant to exercise the Award.

 

7.6    No Rights as Stockholders. A Participant who is granted an Award under the Plan will have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Award unless and until certificates for the Shares underlying the Award are registered in the Participant’s name and (other than in the case of Restricted Stock) delivered to the Participant. The right of any Participant to receive an Award by virtue of participation in the Plan will be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

 

7.7    Indemnification of Committee. The Company will indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each person made or threatened to be made a party to any civil or criminal action or proceeding by reason of the fact that the person, or the executor or administrator of the person’s estate, is or was a member of the Committee or a delegate of the Committee.

 

7.8    No Required Segregation of Assets. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary will be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by Awards granted pursuant to the Plan.

 

7.9    Nature of Payments. All Awards made pursuant to the Plan are in consideration of services for the Company or a Subsidiary. Any gain realized pursuant to Awards under the Plan constitutes a special incentive payment to the Participant and will not be taken into account as compensation for purposes of any other employee benefit plan of the Company or a Subsidiary, except as the Committee otherwise provides. The adoption of the Plan will have no effect on Awards made or to be made under any other benefit plan covering an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary or any predecessor or successor of the Company or a Subsidiary.

 

7.10    Securities Law Compliance. Awards under the Plan are intended to satisfy the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. If any provision of this Plan or any grant of an Award would otherwise frustrate or conflict with this intent, that provision will be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid conflict. No Participant will be entitled to a grant, exercise, transfer or payment of any Award if the grant, exercise, transfer or payment would violate the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or any other applicable law.

 

17



 

7.11    Section 409A Compliance. To the extent the Committee determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Certificate evidencing such Award will incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and the Award Certificate will be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan, in the event that following the Effective Date the Committee determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and/or the applicable Award Certificate or adopt policies and procedures or take any other action or actions, including an action or amendment with retroactive effect, that the Committee determines is necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the Award from the application of Section 409A of the Code or (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

 

7.12    Governing Law, Severability. The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken under the Plan will be governed by the law of Bermuda and construed accordingly. If any provision of the Plan is held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, the unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any other parts of the Plan, which parts will remain in full force and effect.

BACKGROUND, PURPOSE AND TERM OF PLAN

 

Section 1.01                            Purpose of the Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to provide Eligible Employees with certain compensation and benefits as set forth in the Plan in the event the Eligible Employee’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated due to an Involuntary Termination. The Plan is not intended to be an “employee pension benefit plan” or “pension plan” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA. Rather, this Plan is intended to be a “welfare benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA and to meet the descriptive requirements of a plan constituting a “severance pay plan” within the meaning of regulations published by the Secretary of Labor at Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations, section 2510.3-2(b). Accordingly, the benefits paid by the Plan are not deferred compensation and no employee shall have a vested right to such benefits.

 

Section 1.02                            Term of the Plan. The Plan shall generally be effective as of the Effective Date and shall supersede any prior plan, program or policy under which the Company or any Subsidiary provided severance benefits prior to the Effective Date of the Plan.

Section 3.01                            Participation. Each Eligible Employee in the Plan who incurs an Involuntary Termination and who satisfies the conditions of Section 3.02 shall be eligible to receive the Severance Benefits described in the Plan. An Eligible Employee shall not be eligible to receive any other severance benefits from the Company or Subsidiary on account of an Involuntary Termination, unless otherwise provided in the Plan. In addition, any Eligible Employee who is a party to an employment agreement with the Company pursuant to which such Eligible Employee is entitled to severance benefits shall be ineligible to participate in the Plan.

 

Section 3.02                            Conditions.

 

(a)                                  Eligibility for any Severance Benefits is expressly conditioned on (i) execution by the Participant of a Release in the form provided by the Company; (ii) compliance by the Participant with all the terms and conditions of such Release; (iii) the Participant’s written agreement to the confidentiality, non-solicitation, and non-disparagement provisions in Article VI during and after the Participant’s employment with the Company; and (iv) execution of a written agreement that authorizes the deduction of amounts owed to the Company prior to the payment of any Severance Benefit (or in accordance with any other schedule as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine to be appropriate). If the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the Participant has not fully complied with any of the terms of the Agreement and/or Release, the Committee may deny Severance Benefits not yet in pay status or discontinue the payment of the Participant’s Severance Benefit and may require the Participant, by providing written notice of such repayment obligation to the Participant, to repay any portion of the Severance Benefit already received under the Plan. If the Committee notifies a Participant that repayment of all or any portion of the Severance Benefit received under the Plan is required, such amounts shall be repaid within thirty (30) calendar days of the date the written notice is sent. Any remedy under this subsection (a) shall be in addition to, and not in place of, any other remedy, including injunctive relief, that the Company may have.

 

(b)                                 An Eligible Employee will not be eligible to receive severance benefits under any of the following circumstances:

 

(i)                                     The Eligible Employee voluntarily terminates employment:

 

(ii)                                  The Eligible Employee resigns employment before the job-end date specified by the Employer or while the Employer still desires the Eligible Employee’s services;

 

(iii)                               The Eligible Employee’s employment is terminated for Cause;

 

(iv)                              The Eligible Employee voluntarily retires;

 

5



 

(v)                                 The Eligible Employee’s employment is terminated due to the Eligible Employee’s death or Permanent Disability;

 

(vi)                              The Eligible Employee does not return to work within six (6) months of the onset of an approved leave of absence, other than a personal, educational or military leave and/or as otherwise required by applicable statute;

 

(vii)                           The Eligible Employee does not return to work within three (3) months of the onset of a personal or educational leave of absence;

 

(viii)                        The Eligible Employee continues in employment with the Company or a Subsidiary or has the opportunity to continue in employment in the same or in an Alternative Position with the Company or a Subsidiary; or

 

(ix)                                The Eligible Employee’s employment with the Employer terminates as a result of a sale of stock or assets of the Employer, merger, consolidation, joint venture or a sale or outsourcing of a business unit or function, or other transaction, and the Eligible Employee accepts employment, or has the opportunity to continue employment in an Alternative Position, with the purchaser, joint venture, or other acquiring or outsourcing entity, or a related entity of either the Company or the acquiring entity. The payment of Severance Benefits in the circumstances described in this subsection (ix) would result in a windfall to the Eligible Employee, which is not the intention of the Plan.

 

(c)                                  The Plan Administrator has the sole discretion to determine an Eligible Employee’s eligibility to receive Severance Benefits.

 

(d)                                 An Eligible Employee returning from approved military leave will be eligible for Severance Benefits if: (i) he/she is eligible for reemployment under the provisions of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA); (ii) his/her pre-military leave job is eliminated; and (iii) the Employer’s circumstances are changed so as to make reemployment in another position impossible or unreasonable, or re-employment would create an undue hardship for the Employer. If the Eligible Employee returning from military leave qualifies for Severance Benefits, his/her severance benefits will be calculated as if he/she had remained continuously employed from the date he/she began his/her military leave. The Eligible Employee must also satisfy any other relevant conditions for payment, including execution of a Release.

ARTICLE IV

 

DETERMINATION OF SEVERANCE BENEFITS

 

Section 4.01                            Amount of Severance Benefits Upon Involuntary Termination. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.05, the Severance Benefits to be provided to an Eligible Employee who incurs an Involuntary Termination and is determined to be eligible for Severance Benefits shall be as follows:

 

(a)                                  Notice Pay. Except for Officers, each Eligible Employee who meets the eligibility requirements for a Severance Benefit under Section 3.01 shall receive 30 calendar days notice as a Notice Period. In the event that the Company determines that a Participant’s last day of work shall be prior to the end of his or her Notice Period, such Employee shall be entitled to pay in lieu of notice for the balance of such Notice Period. Notice Pay paid to an Eligible Employee shall be in addition to, and not offset against, the Severance Benefits the Participant may be entitled to receive under this Article IV. An Eligible Employee who does not sign, or who revokes his or her signature on, a Release shall only be eligible for Notice Pay. Unless otherwise permitted by the applicable plan documents or laws, an Eligible Employee will not be eligible to apply for short-term disability, long-term disability and/or workers’ compensation during the Notice Period, or anytime thereafter.

 

(b)                                 Salary Continuation Benefits. Salary Continuation shall be provided during the Severance Period applicable to the Participant as set forth under the benefits schedule appended to the Plan. During the Severance Period, the Participant shall receive his or her Base Salary (net of deductions and tax withholdings, as applicable) in equal installments over the Severance Period, per normal payroll cycles. The salary continuation payment shall commence no earlier than the end of the revocation period applicable to the Release.

 

(c)                                  Bonus.

 

(i)                                     Participant may be eligible for a cash payment equal to his or her pro rated annual bonus for the year in which Participant’s Termination Date occurs, subject to the discretion of the Company and pursuant to the terms set forth in the applicable incentive plans.

 

(ii)                                  The Participant shall also receive a cash payment equal to his or her Annual Bonus during the Severance Period applicable to the Participant as set forth under the benefits schedule appended to the Plan. Such bonus payment shall be paid to the Participant in equal installments over the Severance Period (e.g., 12 month, 18 months or 24 months) or, in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator, may be paid to the Participant in a single lump sum in lieu of payment over the Severance Period. The bonus payment shall be paid at the same time as the Salary Continuation Benefits.

 

(d)                                 Medical, Dental and Health Care Reimbursement Account Benefits. The Participant shall continue to be eligible to participate in the medical, dental and Health Care Reimbursement Account coverage in effect at the date of his or her termination (or generally comparable coverage) for himself or herself and, where applicable, his or her spouse and

 

7



 

dependents, as the same may be changed from time to time for employees of the Company generally, as if Participant had continued in employment during the Severance Period (the “COBRA Continuation Coverage Period”). The Participant shall be responsible for the payment of the employee portion of the medical, dental and Health Care Reimbursement Account contributions that are required during the Severance Period and such contributions shall be made within the time period and in the amounts that other employees are required to pay to the Company for similar coverage. The Participant’s failure to pay the applicable contributions shall result in the cessation of the applicable medical and dental coverage for the Participant and his or her spouse or domestic partner and dependents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, in the event that a Participant commences employment with another company at any time during the Severance Period, the Participant may cease receiving coverage under the Company’s medical and dental plans. Within thirty (30) days of Participant’s commencement of employment with another company, Participant shall provide the Company written notice of such employment and provide information to the Company regarding the medical and dental benefits provided to Participant by his or her new employer. The COBRA Continuation Coverage Period under section 4980B of the Code shall run concurrently with the Severance Period.

 

(e)                                  Stock Options. All stock options held by the Participant as of his or her Termination Date shall continue to vest as scheduled during the twelve (12) month period after the Participant’s Termination Date (unless the Participant’s option agreement covering such options provides for more favorable vesting treatment), and provided that the Participant has met any other condition contained in an applicable stock option award agreement with respect to such continued vesting. All vested outstanding stock options held by Participant shall be exercisable for the greater of (i) the period set forth in Participant’s option agreement covering such options, or (ii) twelve (12) months from the Termination Date, provided that the Participant has met any other condition contained in an applicable stock option award agreement with respect to such extended exercise period. In no event, however, shall an option be exercisable beyond its original term.

 

(f)                                    Restricted  Stock.

 

(i)                                     Restricted Stock. All unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units held by the Participant as of his or her Termination Date shall be forfeited as of the Termination Date.

 

(g)                                 Outplacement Services. The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, pay the cost of outplacement services for the Participant at the outplacement agency that the Company regularly uses for such purpose; provided, however, that the period of outplacement shall not exceed twelve (12) months from Participant’s Termination Date. The Company shall pay the cost of outplacement services for the Participant for a period of up to twelve (12) months from Participant’s Termination Date at either (i) the outplacement agency that the Company regularly uses for such purpose, or (ii) provided the Senior Vice President – Human Resources provides prior approval, at an outplacement agency selected by the Participant.

 

(h)                                 In the event that provision of any of the benefits in (d) above, would adversely affect the tax status of the applicable plan or benefits, the Company, in its sole

 

8



 

discretion, may elect to pay to the Participant cash in lieu of such coverage in an amount equal to the Company’s premium or average cost of providing such coverage.

Section 4.02                            Voluntary Termination; Termination for Death or Permanent Disability. If the Eligible Employee’s employment terminates on account of (i) the Eligible Employee’s Voluntary Resignation, (ii) death, or (iii) Permanent Disability, then the Eligible Employee shall not be entitled to receive Severance Benefits under this Plan and shall be entitled only to those benefits (if any) as may be available under the Company’s then-existing benefit plans and policies at the time of such termination.

 

Section 4.03                            Termination for Cause. If any Eligible Employee’s employment terminates on account of termination by the Company for Cause, the Eligible Employee shall not be entitled to receive Severance Benefits under this Plan and shall be entitled only to those benefits that are legally required to be provided to the Eligible Employee. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the Committee or the Plan Administrator determines that an Eligible Employee has engaged in conduct that constitutes Cause at any time prior to the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date, any Severance Benefit payable to the Eligible Employee under Section 4.01 of the Plan shall immediately cease, and the Eligible Employee shall be required to return any Severance Benefits paid to the Eligible Employee prior to such determination. The Company may withhold paying Severance Benefits under the Plan pending resolution of an inquiry that could lead to a finding resulting in Cause. If the Company has offset other payments owed to the Eligible Employee under any other plan or program, it may, in its sole discretion, waive its repayment right solely with respect to the amount of the offset so credited.

 

Section 4.04                            Reduction of Severance Benefits. The Plan Administrator reserves the right to make deductions in accordance with applicable law for any monies owed to the Company by the Participant or the value of Company property that the Participant has retained in his/her possession.

 

Section 4.05                            Modification of Severance Benefits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Senior Vice President, Human Resources (or her/his successor) shall have the discretion to modify the benefits otherwise available to a Plan Participant under Section 4.01 or the timing of such benefits as she/he deems appropriate, provided that in no event may the exercise of such discretion result in an increase in the benefits that would otherwise have been payable to the Participant under Section 4.01.

ARTICLE V

 

METHOD AND DURATION OF SEVERANCE BENEFIT PAYMENTS

 

Section 5.01                            Method of Payment. The Severance Benefit to which a Participant is entitled, as determined pursuant to Section 4.01, shall be paid in accordance with normal payroll practices over the Severance Period or from a supplemental unemployment benefits trust. In no event will interest be credited on the unpaid balance for which a Participant may become eligible. Payment shall be made by mailing to the last address provided by the Participant to the Company or such other reasonable method as determined by the Plan Administrator. In general, the initial payments shall be made as promptly as practicable after the Participant’s Termination Date, the execution of the Release required under Section 3.02, and the expiration of the required revocation period specified in the Release. All payments of Severance Benefits are subject to applicable federal, state and local taxes and withholdings. In the event of the Participant’s death prior to the completion of all payments being made, the remaining payments shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.

 

Section 5.02                            Other Arrangements. The Severance Benefits under this Plan are not additive or cumulative to severance or termination benefits that a Participant might also be entitled to receive under the terms of a written employment agreement, a severance agreement or any other arrangement with the Employer. As a condition of participating in the Plan, the Eligible Employee must expressly agree that this Plan supersedes all prior agreements, and sets forth the entire Severance Benefit the Eligible Employee is entitled to while an Eligible Employee in the Plan. The provisions of this Plan may provide for payments to the Eligible Employee under certain compensation or bonus plans under circumstances where such plans would not provide for payment thereof. It is the specific intention of the Company that the provisions of this Plan shall supersede any provisions to the contrary in such plans, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and such plans shall be deemed to be have been amended to correspond with this Plan without further action by the Company or the Board.

 

Section 5.03                            Termination of Eligibility for Benefits.

 

(a)                                  All Eligible Employees shall cease to be eligible to participate in the Plan, and all Severance Benefit payments shall cease upon the occurrence of the earlier of:

 

(i)                                     Subject to Article VIII, termination or modification of the Plan; or

 

(ii)                                  Completion of payment to the Participant of the Severance Benefit for which the Participant is eligible under Article IV.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall have the right to cease all Severance Benefit payments and to recover payments previously made to the Participant should the Participant at any time breach the Participant’s undertakings under the terms of the Plan, the Release the Participant executed to obtain the Severance Benefits under the Plan or the confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation and non-disparagement provisions of Article VI.

ARTICLE VI

 

CONFIDENTIALITY, COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE AND NOT TO SOLICIT

 

Section 6.01                            Confidential Information. The Eligible Employee agrees that he or she shall not, directly or indirectly, use, make available, sell, disclose or otherwise communicate to any person, other than in the course of the Eligible Employee’s assigned duties and for the benefit of the Company, either during the period of the Eligible Employee’s employment or at any time thereafter, any nonpublic, proprietary or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, affiliated companies or businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Eligible Employee during the Eligible Employee’s employment by the Company or a Subsidiary. The foregoing shall not apply to information that (i) was known to the public prior to its disclosure to the Eligible Employee; (ii) becomes known to the public subsequent to disclosure to the Eligible Employee through no wrongful act of the Eligible Employee or any representative of the Eligible Employee; or (iii) the Eligible Employee is required to disclose by applicable law, regulation or legal process (provided that the Eligible Employee provides the Company with prior notice of the contemplated disclosure and reasonably cooperates with the Company at its expense in seeking a protective order or other appropriate protection of such information). Notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence, the Eligible Employee’s obligation to maintain such disclosed information in confidence shall not terminate where only portions of the information are in the public domain.

 

Section 6.02                            Non-Competition. The Participant acknowledges that he or she performs services of a unique nature for the Company that are irreplaceable, and that his or her performance of such services for a competing business will result in irreparable harm to the Company. Accordingly, during the Participant’s employment with the Company or Subsidiary and for the one (1) year period thereafter, the Participant agrees that the Participant will not, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, be employed by (whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor or otherwise, and whether or not for compensation) or render services to any person, firm, corporation or other entity, in whatever form, engaged in any business of the same type as any business in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates is engaged on the date of termination or in which they have proposed, on or prior to such date, to be engaged in on or after such date and in which the Participant has been involved to any extent (other than de minimis) at any time during the one (1) year period ending with the date of termination, in any locale of any country in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries conducts business. This Section 6.02 shall not prevent the Participant from owning not more than one percent of the total shares of all classes of stock outstanding of any publicly held entity engaged in such business, nor will it restrict the Participant from rendering services to charitable organizations, as such term is defined in section 501(c) of the Code.

 

Section 6.03                            Non-Solicitation. During the Eligible Employee’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary and for the two (2) year period thereafter, the Eligible Employee agrees that he or she will not, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any other person, firm, corporation or other entity, knowingly solicit, aid or induce (i) any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, as defined by the Company, to leave such employment in order to accept employment with or render services to or with any other person, firm, corporation or other entity unaffiliated with the Company or knowingly take any action to materially assist or aid any other person, firm, corporation or other entity in identifying or hiring any such employee, or (ii)

 

12



 

any customer of the Company or any Subsidiary to purchase goods or services then sold by the Company or any Subsidiary from another person, firm, corporation or other entity or assist or aid any other persons or entity in identifying or soliciting any such customer.

 

Section 6.04                            Non-Disparagement. Each of the Eligible Employee and the Company (for purposes hereof, the Company shall mean only the executive officers and directors thereof and not any other employees) agrees not to make any statements that disparage the other party, or in the case of the Company or its Subsidiaries, their respective affiliates, employees, officers, directors, products or services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, statements made in the course of sworn testimony in administrative, judicial or arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings) shall not be subject to this Section 6.04.

 

Section 6.05                            Reasonableness. In the event the provisions of this Article VI shall ever be deemed to exceed the time, scope or geographic limitations permitted by applicable laws, then such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time, scope or geographic limitations, as the case may be, permitted by applicable laws.

 

Section 6.06                            Equitable Relief.

 

(a)                                  By participating in the Plan, the Eligible Employee acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Article VI are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company, its Subsidiaries and its affiliates, that the Company would not have established this Plan in the absence of such restrictions, and that any violation of any provision of this Article will result in irreparable injury to the Company. By agreeing to participate in the Plan, the Eligible Employee represents that his or her experience and capabilities are such that the restrictions contained in this Article VI will not prevent the Eligible Employee from obtaining employment or otherwise earning a living at the same general level of economic benefit as is currently the case. The Eligible Employee further represents and acknowledges that (i) he or she has been advised by the Company to consult his or her own legal counsel in respect of this Plan, and (ii) that he or she has had full opportunity, prior to agreeing to participate in this Plan, to review thoroughly this Plan with his or her counsel.

 

(b)                                 The Eligible Employee agrees that the Company shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving actual damages, as well as an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from any violation of this Article VI, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which the Company may be entitled. In the event that any of the provisions of this Article VI should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, service, or other limitations permitted by applicable law in any jurisdiction, then such provisions shall be deemed reformed in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, service, or other limitations permitted by applicable law.

 

(c)                                  The Eligible Employee irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees that any suit, action or other legal proceeding arising out of this Article VI, including without limitation, any action commenced by the Company for preliminary and permanent injunctive relief or other equitable relief, may be brought in the United States District Court for the District of New York, or if such court does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in New York, (ii) consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in any

 

13



 

such suit, action or proceeding, and (iii) waives any objection which Participant may have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court. Participant also irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the service of any process, pleadings, notices or other papers in a manner permitted by the notice provisions of Section 11.02.

 

Section 6.07                            Survival of Provisions. The obligations contained in this Article VI shall survive the termination of Eligible Employee’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary and shall be fully enforceable thereafter.

AMENDMENT, TERMINATION AND DURATION

 

Section 8.01                            Amendment, Suspension and Termination. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.01, the Board or its delegee shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part, for any reason or without reason, and without either the consent of or the prior notification to any Participant, by a formal written action.

CLAIMS PROCEDURES

 

Section 10.01                     Claim. Each Participant under this Plan may contest only the administration of the Severance Benefits awarded by completing and filing with the Plan Administrator a written request for review in the manner specified by the Plan Administrator. No appeal is permissible as to a Participant’s eligibility for or amount of the Severance Benefit, which are decisions made solely within the discretion of the Company, and the Committee acting on behalf of the Company. No person may bring an action for any alleged wrongful denial of Plan benefits in a court of law unless the claims procedures described in this Article X are exhausted and a final determination is made by the Plan Administrator and/or the Named Appeals Fiduciary. If the terminated Participant or interested person challenges a decision by the Plan Administrator and/or Named Appeals Fiduciary, a review by the court of law will be limited to the facts, evidence and issues presented to the Plan Administrator during the claims procedure set forth in this Article X. Facts and evidence that become known to the terminated Participant or other interested person after having exhausted the claims procedure must be brought to the attention of the Plan Administrator for reconsideration of the claims administrator. Issues not raised with the Plan Administrator and/or Named Appeals Fiduciary will be deemed waived.

 

Section 10.02                     Initial Claim. Before the date on which payment of a Severance Benefit commences, each such application must be supported by such information as the Plan Administrator deems relevant and appropriate. In the event that any claim relating to the administration of Severance Benefits is denied in whole or in part, the terminated Participant or his or her beneficiary (“claimant”) whose claim has been so denied shall be notified of such denial in writing by the Plan Administrator within ninety (90) days after the receipt of the claim for benefits. This period may be extended an additional ninety (90) days if the Plan Administrator determines such extension is necessary and the Plan Administrator provides notice of extension to the claimant prior to the end of the initial ninety (90) day period. The notice advising of the denial shall specify the following: (i) the reason or reasons for denial, (ii) make specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the determination was based, (iii) describe any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim (explaining why such material or information is needed), and (iv) describe the Plan’s review procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review.

 

Section 10.03                     Appeals of Denied Administrative Claims. All appeals shall be made by the following procedure:

 

(a)                                  A claimant whose claim has been denied shall file with the Plan Administrator a notice of appeal of the denial. Such notice shall be filed within sixty (60) calendar days of notification by the Plan Administrator of the denial of a claim, shall be made in writing, and shall set forth all of the facts upon which the appeal is based. Appeals not timely filed shall be barred.

 

(b)                                 The Named Appeals Fiduciary shall consider the merits of the claimant’s written presentations, the merits of any facts or evidence in support of the denial of benefits, and such other facts and circumstances as the Named Appeals Fiduciary shall deem relevant.

 

18



 

(c)                                  The Named Appeals Fiduciary shall render a determination upon the appealed claim which determination shall be accompanied by a written statement as to the reasons therefor. The determination shall be made to the claimant within sixty (60) days of the claimant’s request for review, unless the Names Appeals Fiduciary determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. In such case, the Named Appeals Fiduciary shall notify the claimant of the need for an extension of time to render its decision prior to the end of the initial sixty (60) day period, and the Named Appeals Fiduciary shall have an additional sixty (60) day period to make its determination. The determination so rendered shall be binding upon all parties. If the determination is adverse to the claimant, the notice shall provide (i) the reason or reasons for denial, (ii) make specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the determination was based, (iii) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to a the claimant’s claim for benefits, and (iv) state that the claimant has the right to bring an action under section 502(a) of ERISA.

 

Section 10.04                     Appointment of the Named Appeals Fiduciary. The Named Appeals Fiduciary shall be the person or persons named as such by the Board or Committee, or, if no such person or persons be named, then the person or persons named by the Plan Administrator as the Named Appeals Fiduciary. Named Appeals Fiduciaries may at any time be removed by the Board or Committee, and any Named Appeals Fiduciary named by the Plan Administrator may be removed by the Plan Administrator. All such removals may be with or without cause and shall be effective on the date stated in the notice of removal.

Existing Indenture Covered Default” means any default or event of default or alleged default or event of default  under any of the indentures or notes evidencing the Indenture Debt (as defined in the Bridge Loan Agreement) (i) that results solely from the Separation Transactions (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the alleged defaults asserted in the BONY Litigation (as defined in the  Bridge Loan Agreement) result solely from the Separation Transactions) and (ii) for which borrowings would (after the effective date of Amendment No. 2 to the Bridge Loan Agreement) be available (and at the time are available) under the Bridge Loan Agreement or any credit facility that replaces or refinances the Bridge Loan Agreement to pay in full (a) such Indenture Debt (as defined in the Bridge Loan Agreement) if such Indenture Debt (as defined in the Bridge Loan Agreement) were accelerated as a result of such default or alleged default and (b) any other Indenture Debt (as defined in the Bridge Loan Agreement) which could be accelerated as a result of such default or alleged default.

By executing this Amendment, each of the Revolver Required Lenders agrees that it will not assign or otherwise transfer any interest in its commitments, loans or other obligations under the Existing Tyco Revolver to any Person unless such assignee or other transferee agrees to consent to the foregoing amendments and to cause such amendments to become effective on or before the Applicable Date, and any such assignment or other transfer that does not contain such an agreement from the assignee or other transferee shall be null and void..
