To Our Shareholders:

On January 24, 2016, Johnson Controls, Inc. and Tyco International plc entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "merger agreement"), pursuant to which they agreed to combine their respective businesses under a single company. The combined company is expected to be a leader in building products and technology, integrated solutions and energy storage.

The merger is structured as a "reverse merger," in which Johnson Controls will merge with an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Tyco, with Tyco being the parent entity of the combined company. Following the merger, Tyco will change its name to "Johnson Controls plc" (subject to the approval of the Registrar of Companies in Ireland) and is referred to as the "combined company."

In the merger, each share of Johnson Controls common stock (other than certain shares described in the merger agreement) will be converted into, at the election of the holder of such share, either: (i) one ordinary share of the combined company; or (ii) $34.88 in cash, without interest. Elections by Johnson Controls shareholders for the share consideration and cash consideration will be subject to proration procedures set forth in the merger agreement such that Johnson Controls shareholders will receive in the aggregate approximately $3.864 billion in cash. Accordingly, if you are a Johnson Controls shareholder, depending on the elections made by other Johnson Controls shareholders, you may not receive the amount of cash or the number of shares of the combined company that you request on your election form.

Immediately prior to the merger, Tyco shareholders will receive 0.955 ordinary shares of Tyco, which will become ordinary shares of the combined company in the merger, for each Tyco ordinary share they hold. Tyco shareholders will receive these shares by virtue of a 0.955-for-one share consolidation. As of [ ], 2016, and assuming that each ordinary share of the combined company will have a value equal to the closing price of one share of Johnson Controls common stock on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on such date, the implied value of the 0.955 shares of the combined company to Tyco shareholders was approximately $[ ]. Because Johnson Controls' and Tyco's share prices will fluctuate between now and the closing of the merger, the value of the merger consideration to Johnson Controls shareholders and the value of the combined company ordinary shares to Tyco shareholders as of the closing date may differ from the implied value based on the share prices on [ ], 2016 or at the time of the Johnson Controls special meeting or Tyco extraordinary general meeting.

After consummation of the merger, Johnson Controls shareholders and Tyco shareholders are expected to own approximately 56% and 44%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the combined company. Shares of Johnson Controls common stock currently trade on the NYSE under the symbol "JCI," and Tyco ordinary shares currently trade on the NYSE under the symbol "TYC." Following the merger, the ordinary shares of the combined company will be listed on the NYSE under the symbol "JCI." Based on the number of Johnson Controls shares and equity awards outstanding as of [ ], 2016, the total number of combined company shares that are expected to be issued or reserved for issuance pursuant to the merger is approximately [ ] ordinary shares.

Johnson Controls will hold a special meeting of its shareholders and Tyco will hold an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders in connection with the proposed merger.

At the Johnson Controls special meeting, Johnson Controls shareholders will be asked to consider and vote on, among other things, a proposal to approve the merger agreement (referred to as the "Johnson Controls merger proposal"). The Johnson Controls board of directors recommends that Johnson Controls shareholders vote "FOR" the Johnson Controls merger proposal and "FOR" each of the other proposals to be considered at the Johnson Controls special meeting and described in the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus.

At the Tyco extraordinary general meeting, Tyco shareholders will be asked to consider and vote on, among other things, the issuance of Tyco ordinary shares in connection with the merger, the amendment of the Tyco memorandum of association, the amendment of the Tyco articles of association, the consolidation of Tyco shares in connection with the merger, an increase to the authorized share capital of Tyco and the change of name of the combined company to "Johnson Controls plc" (collectively referred to as the "Tyco required proposals"). The Tyco board of directors recommends that Tyco shareholders vote "FOR" the Tyco required proposals and "FOR" each of the other proposals to be considered at the Tyco extraordinary general meeting and described in the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus .

Consummation of the merger is conditioned on the approval of the Johnson Controls merger proposal and the Tyco required proposals. Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Johnson Controls special meeting or the Tyco extraordinary general meeting, as applicable, please promptly complete and return the enclosed proxy card or submit your proxy by telephone or through the Internet. Submitting a proxy now will not prevent you from being able to vote in person at the Johnson Controls special meeting or the Tyco extraordinary general meeting, as applicable.

The obligations of Johnson Controls and Tyco to consummate the merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of several conditions set forth in the merger agreement, a copy of which is included as Annex A to the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus. The accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus provides you with detailed information about the merger. It also contains or references information about Johnson Controls and Tyco and certain related matters. You are encouraged to read this document carefully. In particular, you should read the " Risk Factors " section beginning on page 41 of the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus for a discussion of the risks you should consider in evaluating the proposed transactions and how they will affect you.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT

You may have the option to submit your proxy by using a toll-free telephone number or to vote your shares electronically over the Internet as described on the proxy card or voting instruction form you receive. We encourage you to submit your vote using either of these options if they are available to you. Alternatively, you may sign, date, mark and mail your proxy form in the postage-paid envelope provided. The method by which you vote does not limit your right to vote in person at the Tyco EGM. We strongly encourage you to vote.

Whether or not you expect to attend the Tyco EGM in person, we encourage you to cast your vote promptly so that your shares will be represented and voted at the meeting. A shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint one or more proxies using the form provided (or the form in section 184 of the Irish Companies Act) to attend, speak and vote instead of him or her at the Tyco EGM. The proxy need not be a shareholder. Proxies must be sent to [ ], from where they will be sent to 1 Albert Quay, Cork, Ireland, by no later than [ ].

Under the Tyco articles of association, the Chairman of the Tyco EGM may at any time adjourn the Tyco EGM if, in his opinion, it would facilitate the conduct of the business of the Tyco EGM to do so or if he is so directed by the Tyco board of directors. Pursuant to this authority, the Tyco EGM may be adjourned to, among other things, solicit proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Tyco EGM in favor of the Tyco proposals.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER, THE JOHNSON CONTROLS SPECIAL MEETING AND THE TYCO EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

The following are answers to certain questions you may have regarding the merger, the Johnson Controls special meeting and the Tyco extraordinary general meeting (the "Tyco EGM"). You are urged to read carefully this entire joint proxy statement/prospectus because the information in this section may not provide all of the information that might be important to you in determining how to vote. Additional important information is also contained in the Annexes to, and the documents incorporated by reference into, this joint proxy statement/prospectus. See "Where You Can Find More Information." If you are in any doubt about this transaction, you should consult an independent financial advisor that, if you are obtaining advice in Ireland, is authorized or exempted by the Investment Intermediaries Act 1995, or the European Communities (Markets in Financial Instruments) Regulations (Nos. 1 to 3) 2007 (as amended).

Q: WHAT IS THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION? A: On January 24, 2016, Johnson Controls and Tyco entered into the merger agreement pursuant to which they agreed to combine their respective businesses under a single company.

Q: WHY AM I RECEIVING THIS JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS? A: Each of Johnson Controls and Tyco is sending these materials to its respective shareholders to help them decide how to vote their Johnson Controls common stock or Tyco ordinary shares, as the case may be, with respect to the matters to be considered at the Johnson Controls special meeting and the Tyco EGM, respectively.

ZEQ.=1,SEQ=16,EFW="2227993",CP="TYCO INTERNATIONAL PLC",DN="1",CHK=687846,FOLIO='1',FILE='DISK126:[16ZAU1.16ZAU44401]BI44401A.;29',USER='JTAYLORA',CD=';4-APR-2016;14:17'

Table of Contents

Q: WHAT WILL JOHNSON CONTROLS SHAREHOLDERS RECEIVE IN THE MERGER? A: In the merger, each share of Johnson Controls common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (other than shares held by Johnson Controls, Tyco, Merger Sub and certain subsidiaries of Johnson Controls and Tyco, as described in the merger agreement) will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of its holder (subject to proration as described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus), either: one ordinary share of the combined company; or $34.88 in cash, without interest.

Q: WHAT WILL TYCO SHAREHOLDERS RECEIVE IN THE TRANSACTION? A: Immediately prior to the merger, Tyco shareholders will receive 0.955 ordinary shares of Tyco, which will become ordinary shares of the combined company in the merger, for each Tyco ordinary share they hold. Tyco shareholders will receive these shares by virtue of a 0.955-for-one share consolidation.

ZEQ.=2,SEQ=17,EFW="2227993",CP="TYCO INTERNATIONAL PLC",DN="1",CHK=529391,FOLIO='2',FILE='DISK126:[16ZAU1.16ZAU44401]BI44401A.;29',USER='JTAYLORA',CD=';4-APR-2016;14:17'

Table of Contents

Q: ARE JOHNSON CONTROLS SHAREHOLDERS GUARANTEED TO RECEIVE THE FORM OF MERGER CONSIDERATION THEY ELECT TO RECEIVE? A: No. Elections by Johnson Controls shareholders for the share consideration and cash consideration will be subject to proration procedures set forth in the merger agreement, such that Johnson Controls shareholders will receive in the aggregate approximately $3.864 billion in cash. The merger agreement provides for adjustments to and reallocation of the share elections and cash elections made by Johnson Controls shareholders in the event that the cash consideration is undersubscribed or oversubscribed.

Q: HOW DO I MAKE AN ELECTION IF I AM A JOHNSON CONTROLS SHAREHOLDER? A: Under the merger agreement, Johnson Controls shareholders are required to make an election to receive share consideration or cash consideration in respect of each share held by [ ], on [ ], 2016, (the "election deadline"), unless otherwise agreed in advance by Johnson Controls and Tyco, in which event Johnson Controls will reasonably promptly announce the rescheduled election deadline. At least 20 business days prior to the election deadline, an election form will be mailed to each Johnson Controls shareholder of record for the Johnson Controls special meeting. Johnson Controls will make available one or more election forms as may be reasonably requested from time to time by all persons who become Johnson Controls shareholders of record during the period following the Johnson Controls record date and prior to the election deadline. To elect to receive share consideration, cash consideration or a combination of both, you must indicate on the election form the number of shares of Johnson Controls common stock with respect to which you elect to receive share consideration, the number of shares of Johnson Controls common stock with respect to which you elect to receive cash consideration and the particular shares for which you desire to make either such election, and the order in which either

Table of Contents

Q: CAN I REVOKE OR CHANGE MY ELECTION AFTER I MAIL MY ELECTION FORM? A: Yes. Johnson Controls shareholders may revoke or change their elections by sending written notice thereof to the exchange agent, which notice must be received by the exchange agent prior to the election deadline. In the event an election form is revoked, under the merger agreement the shares of Johnson Controls common stock represented by such election form will be treated as non-electing shares, except to the extent a subsequent election is properly made by the Johnson Controls shareholder prior to the election deadline. See " The Merger Consideration to be Received by Johnson Controls Shareholders ." Q: WHAT HAPPENS IF I DO NOT MAKE AN ELECTION OR MY ELECTION FORM IS NOT RECEIVED BEFORE THE ELECTION DEADLINE? A: For any shares of Johnson Controls common stock with respect to which the exchange agent does not receive a properly completed and timely election form, the holder of those shares will be deemed not to have made an election. Under the merger agreement, non-electing shares will be deemed to have elected to receive share consideration, and will be subject to the proration procedures provided in the merger agreement as if they were share electing shares. See " The Merger Consideration to be Received by Johnson Controls Shareholders ." Q: WHAT HAPPENS IF I TRANSFER MY SHARES OF JOHNSON CONTROLS COMMON STOCK AFTER MAKING AN ELECTION? A: If you transfer your shares of Johnson Controls common stock after making an election, the election will be automatically revoked with respect to such shares, and such shares will be treated as non-electing shares, unless a subsequent election is properly made by the Johnson Controls shareholder of record prior to the election deadline. See " The Merger Consideration to be Received by Johnson Controls Shareholders. " Q: WHEN WILL THE MERGER BE CONSUMMATED? A: The parties currently expect that the merger will be consummated on or around the end of the parties' 2016 fiscal year (September 30, 2016 for both Johnson Controls and Tyco), but neither Johnson Controls nor Tyco can predict the actual date on which the merger will be consummated, or whether it will be consummated, because the merger is subject to factors beyond each company's control, including whether or when the required regulatory approvals will be received. See " The Merger AgreementConditions to the Consummation of the Merger ." Q: WHAT ARE THE CONDITIONS TO THE CONSUMMATION OF THE MERGER? A: In addition to approval of the Johnson Controls merger proposal by Johnson Controls shareholders and approval of the Tyco required proposals by Tyco shareholders, consummation of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement is subject to the

Table of Contents

Q: WHO WILL SERVE AS THE DIRECTORS AND SENIOR OFFICERS OF THE COMBINED COMPANY? A: As of the effective time of the merger, the board of directors of the combined company will consist of eleven directors, six of whom will be directors of the Johnson Controls board of directors prior to the closing and five of whom will be directors of the Tyco board of directors prior to the closing. The eleven directors of the combined company will include Alex A. Molinaroli, the current Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Johnson Controls, George R. Oliver, the current Chief Executive Officer of Tyco, and nine other directors mutually agreed between Johnson Controls and Tyco. One of the six directors from the Johnson Controls board of directors prior to the closing will be elected independent lead director of the board of directors of the combined company. See " The MergerBoard of Directors of the Combined Company after the Merger ."

Q: WHAT EFFECTS WILL THE MERGER HAVE ON JOHNSON CONTROLS' ANNOUNCED SPIN-OFF OF ITS AUTOMOTIVE EXPERIENCE BUSINESS? A: On July 24, 2015, Johnson Controls announced plans to separate its Automotive Experience business from the rest of Johnson Controls by means of a spin-off of a newly formed company, which will be named Adient. Subject to final board approval of the spin-off, the spin-off is expected to be completed following the consummation of the merger and would result in the Automotive Experience business becoming an independent publicly traded company. It is currently expected that the separation will generally proceed in substantially the same manner as originally planned and on the timeline previously announced by Johnson Controls, with such adjustments to reflect that the distributing corporation will be the combined company instead of Johnson Controls. However, there can be no assurance that the separation will occur within this timeframe, or at all, and the separation may be accomplished at a different time or in a different manner. Q: WHO IS ENTITLED TO VOTE?

The terms and conditions of the merger are contained in the merger agreement which is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A. You should read the merger agreement carefully, as it is the legal document that governs the merger.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, the businesses of Johnson Controls and Tyco will be combined under a single company. The merger is structured as a "reverse merger," in which Johnson Controls will merge with an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Tyco, with Tyco being the parent entity of the combined company. Following the merger, Tyco will change its name to "Johnson Controls plc" (subject to the approval of the Registrar of Companies in Ireland) and is referred to as the "combined company."

After consummation of the merger, Johnson Controls shareholders and Tyco shareholders are expected to own approximately 56% and 44%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the combined company. Shares of Johnson Controls common stock currently trade on the NYSE under the symbol "JCI," and Tyco ordinary shares currently trade on the NYSE under the symbol "TYC." Following the merger, Johnson Controls common stock will be delisted from the NYSE, deregistered under the Exchange Act and cease to be publicly traded, and the ordinary shares of the combined company will be traded on the NYSE under the current Johnson Controls symbol "JCI."

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Consideration to Johnson Controls Shareholders (page 94)

In the merger, each share of Johnson Controls common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (other than shares held by Johnson Controls, Tyco, Merger Sub and certain subsidiaries of Johnson Controls and Tyco, as described in the merger agreement) will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of its holder (subject to proration as described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus), either:

Any non-electing share will be deemed to have elected to receive share consideration.

Elections by Johnson Controls shareholders for the share consideration and cash consideration will be subject to proration procedures set forth in the merger agreement, such that Johnson Controls shareholders will receive in the aggregate approximately $3.864 billion in cash. As a result, an aggregate of approximately 110,778,083 shares of Johnson Controls will receive the cash consideration. The merger agreement provides for adjustments to and reallocation of the share elections and cash elections made by Johnson Controls shareholders in the event that the cash consideration is undersubscribed or oversubscribed.

Specifically, if Johnson Controls shareholders elect an aggregate of $3.864 billion, cash electing shares will be converted into the right to receive cash consideration and share electing shares and

non-electing shares will be converted into the right to receive share consideration. If Johnson Controls shareholders elect to receive an aggregate of less than $3.864 billion of cash consideration, cash electing shares will be converted into the right to receive cash consideration, and a portion of the share electing shares and non-electing shares of each Johnson Controls shareholder will be converted into the right to receive cash consideration, with the remaining shares of such Johnson Controls shareholder converted into the right to receive share consideration. If Johnson Controls shareholders elect to receive an aggregate of more than $3.864 billion of cash consideration, share electing shares and non-electing shares will be converted into the right to receive share consideration, and a portion of the cash electing shares of each Johnson Controls shareholder will be converted into the right to receive cash consideration, with the remaining shares of such Johnson Controls shareholder converted into the right to receive share consideration. Accordingly, depending on the elections made by other Johnson Controls shareholders, each Johnson Controls shareholder who elects to receive share consideration for all of their shares of Johnson Controls common stock in the merger may receive a portion of their merger consideration in cash consideration, and each Johnson Controls shareholder who elects to receive cash consideration for all of their shares of Johnson Controls common stock in the merger may receive a portion of their merger consideration in share consideration. A Johnson Controls shareholder who elects to receive a combination of cash consideration and share consideration for their shares of Johnson Controls common stock in the merger may receive cash consideration and share consideration in a proportion different from that which such shareholder elected. For further information, including hypothetical scenarios demonstrating the possible effects of proration on a holder of 1,000 shares of Johnson Controls common stock, see " The Merger Consideration to be Received by Johnson Controls Shareholders. "

No holder of Johnson Controls common stock will be issued fractional shares of the combined company in the merger. Each holder of Johnson Controls common stock converted pursuant to the merger, who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of an ordinary share of the combined company (after aggregating all shares represented by the certificates and book-entry shares delivered by such holder), will instead receive the Johnson Controls fractional share consideration described in " The Merger AgreementNo Fractional Shares. "

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Tyco Share Consolidation (page 95)

Immediately prior to the merger, Tyco shareholders will receive 0.955 ordinary shares of Tyco, which will become ordinary shares of the combined company in the merger, for each ordinary share of Tyco they hold. Tyco shareholders will receive these shares by virtue of a 0.955-for-one share consolidation. It is anticipated that Johnson Controls shareholders and Tyco shareholders will hold approximately 56% and 44%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding combined company ordinary shares as a result of the Tyco share consolidation and the merger.

Stock Options.

Each combined company option as so assumed and converted will continue to have, and will be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Johnson Controls option immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, including accelerated vesting upon specified qualifying terminations of employment.

Johnson Controls and Tyco derive revenues in other jurisdictions where regulatory approvals are or may be required, including the European Union, Brazil, Canada, China, India, Mexico, South Korea and Turkey. The transaction cannot be consummated until after the applicable waiting periods have expired or the relevant approvals have been obtained under the antitrust and competition laws of the countries listed above. In addition, the parties have agreed to submit a joint voluntary notice to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States ("CFIUS") under Section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended, and therefore it is a condition to closing the merger that Johnson Controls and Tyco obtain CFIUS approval, as described in " The MergerRegulatory Approvals Required for the MergerCFIUS and the DSS ." Johnson Controls must also enter into, or receive verbal or written confirmation of an agreement to enter into, a commitment letter with the Defense Security Service of the U.S. Department of Defense (the "DSS"), the agency with authority over facility security clearances held by Johnson Controls entities to mitigate any foreign ownership, control or influence arising out of the merger.

Johnson Controls and Tyco are in the process of filing applications to obtain the necessary regulatory clearances. Although Johnson Controls and Tyco believe that they will be able to obtain the requisite regulatory clearances in a timely manner, they cannot be certain when or if they will do so, or if any clearances will contain terms, conditions, or restrictions that will be detrimental to or adversely affect Johnson Controls, Tyco, or their respective subsidiaries after the completion of the transaction.

On July 24, 2015, Johnson Controls announced plans to separate its Automotive Experience business from the rest of Johnson Controls by means of a spin-off of a newly formed company, named Adient, which will contain Johnson Controls' Automotive Experience business. Subject to final board approval of the spin-off, Johnson Controls currently expects the spin-off of Adient to be completed following the closing of the merger, such that each shareholder of the combined company as of the record date for the distribution will receive a pro rata interest in Adient. The spin-off is a separate, independent transaction from the merger, and is currently expected to generally proceed in substantially the same manner as originally planned and on the timeline previously announced by Johnson Controls, with such adjustments to reflect that the distributing corporation will be the combined company instead of Johnson Controls. The merger agreement imposes certain restrictions on the conduct of Johnson Controls prior to the closing of the merger, which may require Johnson Controls to obtain Tyco's consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) prior to taking specified actions in furtherance of the spin-off.

Johnson Controls' Automotive Experience business is the world's largest automotive seating supplier and has market positions in the Americas, Europe and China. This business designs, manufactures and markets a full range of seating systems and components for passenger cars, commercial vehicles and light trucks, including vans, pick-up trucks and sport/crossover utility vehicles and supplies high performance seating systems to the international motorsports industry through its RECARO brand of products. Once it becomes a separate, independent company, Adient will operate approximately 230 wholly and majority owned manufacturing or assembly facilities, with operations in 33 countries and ownership interests in partially-owned affiliates in Asia, Europe, North America and South America.

In connection with the merger, Tyco International Holding S.à r.l., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Tyco (the "Borrower"), is expected to enter into a new senior unsecured term loan facility (the "Tyco term loan facility") in the amount of $4.0 billion with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, to finance the cash consideration for the merger and fees, expenses and costs incurred in connection with the merger. Neither Tyco, nor any other direct or indirect parent of the Borrower, will be a borrower under, or guarantor of, the Tyco term loan facility. The Tyco term loan facility is being provided to and arranged for the Borrower on the basis of its properties, assets and credit only, and will not be guaranteed, or otherwise supported, directly or indirectly, by the legacy Johnson Controls entities, properties, assets or credit.

Johnson Controls and Tyco currently estimate that, upon the effective time of the merger, transaction-related costs incurred by the combined company related to the merger, including fees and expenses incurred by Tyco International Holding S.à r.l. relating to the debt financing, will be approximately $180 million. This amount includes estimated transaction costs to be incurred by Johnson Controls or Tyco (or their respective subsidiaries) and settled on or about the closing of the merger under signed agreements that had been executed as of March 24, 2016, which primarily relate to financing, investment banking, advisory, legal, valuation, and other professional fees, and retention related costs for certain Tyco employees. Not included in these cost estimates are employee- or integration-related costs such as severance, restructuring or other costs anticipated to be incurred to achieve ongoing operating synergies following the completion of the merger. The Johnson Controls and Tyco transaction costs related to the merger are preliminary estimates only, are inherently uncertain, and could differ materially from actual results.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Accounting Treatment (page 172)

The combined company will account for the acquisition contemplated by the merger agreement as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). U.S. GAAP requires that one of Johnson Controls or Tyco be designated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. Based on the evidence available, Johnson Controls will be treated as the acquiring entity for accounting purposes. In identifying Johnson Controls as the acquiring entity, the companies took into account the structure of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, relative outstanding share ownership, the composition of the combined company's board of directors and the designation of certain senior management positions of the combined company. Accordingly, the historical financial statements of Johnson Controls will become the historical financial statements of the combined company.

The combined company will measure Tyco's assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values, including net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as of the closing of the merger. Any excess of the purchase price over those fair values will be recorded as goodwill.

Definite lived intangible assets will be amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and goodwill will not be amortized but will be tested for impairment at least annually. All intangible assets and goodwill are also tested for impairment when certain indicators are present.

The allocation of purchase price reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements is based on preliminary estimates using assumptions Johnson Controls management and Tyco management believe are reasonable based on currently available information. The final purchase price and fair value assessment of assets and liabilities will be based in part on a detailed valuation that has not yet been completed.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Certain U.S. Federal Tax Consequences (page 212)

The receipt of ordinary shares of the combined company and/or cash in exchange for Johnson Controls common stock pursuant to the merger will be treated as a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A U.S. holder (as defined under " Certain Tax Consequences of the MergerU.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations ") of Johnson Controls common stock will generally recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the fair market value of the ordinary shares of the combined company and the amount of cash (including any cash received in lieu of fractional ordinary shares of the combined company) received in the merger and (ii) the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the shares of Johnson Controls common stock surrendered in exchange therefor.

In certain circumstances, Section 304 of the Code, could cause a holder of Johnson Controls common stock that also owns, directly or constructively, Tyco ordinary shares immediately prior to the merger to be treated as receiving a dividend in an amount up to the fair market value of the total consideration received by such holder in the merger, regardless of such holder's gain or loss on its Johnson Controls common stock. Non-U.S. holders (as defined under " Certain Tax Consequences of the MergerU.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations ") of Johnson Controls common stock may be subject to U.S. withholding tax with respect to any consideration received in the merger.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the matters addressed under "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Johnson Controls shareholders should carefully consider the following risks in deciding whether to vote for the approval of the Johnson Controls proposals, and Tyco shareholders should carefully consider the following risks in deciding whether to vote for the approval of the Tyco proposals. Descriptions of some of these risks can be found in the Annual Reports of Johnson Controls and Tyco on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 and September 25, 2015, respectively, and any amendments thereto, as such risks may be updated or supplemented in each company's subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, which are incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus. You should read carefully this entire joint proxy statement/prospectus and its Annexes and the other documents incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Risks Related to the Merger

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Because the market price of Tyco ordinary shares and shares of Johnson Controls common stock will fluctuate, Johnson Controls shareholders cannot be sure of the value of the consideration they will receive in the merger and Tyco shareholders cannot be sure of the value of their consolidated shares following the Tyco share consolidation.

As a result of the merger, each share of Johnson Controls common stock (other than certain shares described in the merger agreement) will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder of such share and subject to proration procedures set forth in the merger agreement, either (i) one ordinary share of the combined company or (ii) $34.88 in cash, without interest. Additionally, immediately prior to the merger, Tyco shareholders will receive 0.955 ordinary shares of Tyco, which will become ordinary shares of the combined company in the merger, for each Tyco ordinary share they hold. As of [ ], 2016, and assuming that each ordinary share of the combined company will have a value equal to the closing price of a share of Johnson Controls common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on such date, the implied value of the 0.955 shares of the combined company to Tyco shareholders was approximately $[ ].

The exact value of the per share merger consideration to be received by the Johnson Controls shareholders will depend in part on the price per share of Tyco ordinary shares at the closing of the merger, and the value of the 0.955 of a share of the combined company to be received by the Tyco shareholders will depend in part on the price per share of Johnson Controls common stock at the closing of the merger. These prices will not be known at the time of the Johnson Controls special meeting or the Tyco EGM and may be greater than, the same as or less than the current prices at the time of the Johnson Controls special meeting or the Tyco EGM. The market prices of Johnson Controls common stock and Tyco ordinary shares are subject to general price fluctuations in the market for publicly traded equity securities and have experienced volatility in the past. Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors, including general market and economic conditions, changes in the respective businesses, operations and prospects of Johnson Controls and Tyco, and an evolving regulatory landscape. Market assessments of the benefits of the merger and the likelihood that the merger will be consummated, as well as general and industry specific market and economic conditions, may also impact market prices of Johnson Controls common stock and Tyco ordinary shares. Many of these factors are beyond Johnson Controls' and Tyco's control. You should obtain current market price quotations for Johnson Controls common stock and for Tyco ordinary shares; but as indicated above, the prices at the effective time of the merger may be greater than, the same as or less than such price quotations.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Because the exchange ratio and the share consolidation ratio are fixed, the number of ordinary shares of the combined company to be received by holders of Johnson Controls common stock in the merger, and the number of combined company ordinary shares to be received by holders of Tyco ordinary shares in the Tyco share consolidation, will not change between now and the time the merger is consummated to reflect changes in the trading prices of Johnson Controls common stock or Tyco ordinary shares, share repurchases or other factors.

The exact value of the merger consideration to be received by the Johnson Controls shareholders and the exact value of the combined company shares to be received by the Tyco shareholders will depend in part on the prices per share of Johnson Controls common stock and/or Tyco ordinary shares at the closing of the merger. The merger agreement does not provide for any adjustment to the exchange ratio or the share consolidation ratio as a result of changes in the trading prices of Johnson Controls common stock or Tyco ordinary shares or for any other reason.

In addition, prior to the closing of the merger, Johnson Controls expects to repurchase approximately $500 million in shares of its common stock prior to the effective time of the merger pursuant to its previously announced share repurchase program. However, the exchange ratio and the share consolidation ratio are fixed and will not be adjusted prior to consummation of the merger to account for the share repurchases or other changes in the number of outstanding shares of Johnson Controls common stock or Tyco ordinary shares. As a result, changes in the number of outstanding shares of Johnson Controls common stock will reduce the proportion of the outstanding combined company ordinary shares held by either the former Johnson Controls shareholders (in the event of a decrease in the number of outstanding shares of Johnson Controls common stock) or the former Tyco shareholders (in the event of an increase in the number of outstanding shares of Johnson Controls common stock) immediately after the consummation of the merger and may affect the value of the combined company ordinary shares that Johnson Controls shareholders and Tyco shareholders will receive as a result of the share consolidation and the merger.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Johnson Controls shareholders may receive a form of consideration different from what they elect.

Johnson Controls shareholders will be entitled to elect to receive, for each share of Johnson Controls common stock held at the effective time of the merger, the share consideration or the cash consideration. Elections by Johnson Controls shareholders for the share consideration and cash consideration will be subject to proration procedures set forth in the merger agreement, such that Johnson Controls shareholders will receive in the aggregate approximately $3.864 billion in cash. Depending on the elections made by other Johnson Controls shareholders, each Johnson Controls shareholder who elects to receive share consideration for all of their shares of Johnson Controls common stock in the merger may receive a portion of their merger consideration in cash, and each Johnson Controls shareholder who elects to receive cash consideration for all of their shares of Johnson Controls common stock in the merger may receive a portion of their merger consideration in share consideration. A Johnson Controls shareholder who elects to receive a combination of cash consideration and share consideration for their shares of Johnson Controls common stock in the merger may receive cash consideration and share consideration in a proportion different from that which such shareholder elected. This could result in, among other things, tax consequences that differ from those that would have resulted if such Johnson Controls shareholder had received the form of consideration that the shareholder elected.

Upon consummation of the merger, holders of shares of Johnson Controls common stock (other than Johnson Controls, Tyco or Merger Sub, subsidiaries of Johnson Controls and holders of shares that are converted into the right to receive the cash consideration) and holders of Tyco ordinary shares will both hold combined company ordinary shares. Tyco's businesses differ from those of Johnson Controls, and vice versa, and accordingly the results of operations of the combined company will be affected by some factors that are different from those currently affecting the results of operations of Johnson Controls and those currently affecting the results of operations of Tyco.

In the event of such a change of recommendation, the other party may terminate the merger agreement. In addition, either party may terminate the merger agreement in response to any such effect that is a change in or issuance of, or proposed change in or issuance of, applicable law, subject to certain limitations.

The closing conditions to the merger include, among others, the receipt of required approvals by the Johnson Controls shareholders and the Tyco shareholders, clearance of the merger by certain governmental and regulatory authorities, including filings or approvals as may be required pursuant to the antitrust and competition laws of certain countries, the approval of CFIUS and entry by Johnson Controls, or receipt of verbal or written confirmation of an agreement to enter, into a commitment letter with the DSS to mitigate any foreign ownership, control or influence arising out of the merger. The governmental agencies with which the parties will make these filings and seek certain of these approvals and consents have broad discretion in administering the governing laws and regulations. Johnson Controls and Tyco can provide no assurance that all required approvals and consents will be obtained. Moreover, as a condition to their approval of the transaction, certain governmental agencies may impose requirements, limitations or costs or require divestitures or place restrictions on the conduct of the business of the combined company after the closing of the merger.

The merger agreement contains a number of conditions that must be fulfilled to consummate the merger. Those conditions include: the approval of the Johnson Controls merger proposal by holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Johnson Controls common stock; the approval of the Tyco share issuance proposal, the Tyco share consolidation proposal and the Tyco authorized share capital increase proposal, in each case, by a majority of the votes cast on these matters at the Tyco EGM; the approval of the Tyco governing documents proposals and the Tyco name change proposal by at least 75% of the votes cast on these matters at the Tyco EGM; the completion of the Tyco share consolidation; receipt of the requisite regulatory, antitrust and foreign investment approvals; absence of orders prohibiting the closing of the merger; the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus is a part; the approval of an Irish prospectus; the approval of the combined company ordinary shares to be issued to Johnson Controls shareholders for listing on the NYSE; the availability of the debt financing contemplated by the merger agreement; the continued accuracy of the representations and warranties of both parties subject to specified materiality standards; and the performance by both parties of their covenants and agreements. These conditions to the closing of the merger may not be fulfilled and, accordingly, the merger may not be consummated. In addition, if the merger is not consummated by October 24, 2016 (subject to extension to January 24, 2017 if the only conditions not satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the closing of the merger, which conditions are capable of being satisfied) are conditions relating to required regulatory filings and clearances and the absence of certain legal impediments to the consummation of the merger) either Johnson Controls or Tyco may choose not to proceed with the merger. In addition, Johnson Controls or Tyco may elect to terminate the merger agreement in certain other circumstances, including by Johnson Controls if, prior to receipt of approval of the Tyco required proposals, the Tyco board of directors makes a change of recommendation, by Tyco if, prior to receipt of approval of the Johnson Controls merger proposal, the Johnson Controls board of directors makes a change of recommendation, or by either party in certain circumstances in response to a change in or issuance of, or proposed change in or issuance of, applicable law.

If Tyco receives a competing proposal, Tyco shareholders subsequently vote down the transaction and Tyco consummates a competing proposal or enters into a definitive agreement providing for a competing proposal within 12 months, Tyco, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, may be required to pay Johnson Controls a termination fee of $375 million. These provisions could discourage a third party that may have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of Tyco from considering or proposing an acquisition, even if such third party were prepared to enter into a transaction that would be more favorable to Tyco and its shareholders than the merger. If the Tyco board of directors effects a change of recommendation other than in response to a superior proposal and the Johnson Controls board of directors confirms that it does not intend to change its recommendation, Tyco, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, may be required to pay a termination fee of either $375 million or (if the change is in response to a change in or issuance of, or proposed change in or issuance of, applicable law) $500 million if the merger agreement is terminated by Johnson Controls or Tyco. In addition, if Tyco terminates the agreement in response to a change in or issuance of, or proposed change in or issuance of, applicable law and the Johnson Controls board confirms that the merger continues to be in the best interests of Johnson Controls and the Johnson Controls shareholders, Tyco, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, may be required to pay a termination fee of $500 million. Tyco, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, may also be required to reimburse Johnson Controls for up to $35 million of Johnson Controls' expenses upon termination of the merger agreement by Johnson Controls or Tyco due to the failure of the Tyco shareholders to approve the Tyco required proposals at the Tyco EGM.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" While the merger is pending, Johnson Controls and Tyco will be subject to business uncertainties that could adversely affect their businesses and operations. These uncertainties could also adversely affect the combined company following the consummation of the merger.

Uncertainty about the effect of the merger on employees, customers and suppliers may have an adverse effect on Johnson Controls and Tyco. These uncertainties may impair Johnson Controls' and Tyco's ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the merger is consummated and for a period of time thereafter, and could cause customers, suppliers and others who deal with Johnson Controls and Tyco to seek to change existing business relationships with Johnson Controls and/or Tyco. Employee retention may be challenging during the pendency of the merger, as certain employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles. If key employees depart because of issues related to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with the businesses, the business of the combined company following the merger could be seriously harmed.

In addition, the merger agreement restricts Tyco and Johnson Controls from taking specified actions until the merger occurs without the consent of the other party. These restrictions may prevent Tyco or Johnson Controls from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the consummation of the merger.

Johnson Controls and Tyco directors and executive officers may have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, those of Johnson Controls shareholders and Tyco shareholders, respectively. These interests include, but are not limited to, the continued service of certain directors of Johnson Controls and Tyco as directors of the combined company, the continued employment of certain executive officers of Johnson Controls and Tyco by the combined company, the treatment in the merger of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance stock units, deferred awards, cash denominated awards, the treatment of certain other executive compensation arrangements, and provisions in the merger agreement regarding continued indemnification of and advancement of expenses to Johnson Controls and Tyco directors and officers.

shareholders should be aware of these interests when they consider their respective board of directors' recommendation that they vote in favor of the merger-related proposals.

The members of the Johnson Controls board of directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the merger agreement and the merger, and in recommending that Johnson Controls shareholders approve the merger agreement. The interests of Johnson Controls directors and executive officers are described under " The MergerInterests of Johnson Controls' Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger ."

The members of the Tyco board of directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the merger agreement and the merger, and in recommending that Tyco shareholders approve the Tyco proposals.

Tyco shareholders currently have the right to vote in the election of the Tyco board of directors and on other matters affecting Tyco. Upon the consummation of the merger, each Tyco shareholder will become a shareholder of the combined company with a percentage ownership of the combined company that is smaller than the shareholder's prior percentage ownership of Tyco. It is currently expected that the former shareholders of Tyco as a group immediately after the merger will own approximately 44% of the outstanding combined company ordinary shares. Because of this, Tyco shareholders will have less influence on the management and policies of the combined company than they now have on the management and policies of Tyco.

Upon the consummation of the merger, each Johnson Controls shareholder will become a shareholder of the combined company with a percentage ownership of the combined company that is smaller than the shareholder's prior percentage ownership of Johnson Controls. After consummation of the merger, Johnson Controls shareholders are expected to own approximately 56% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the combined company. Because of this, Johnson Controls shareholders will have less influence on the management and policies of the combined company than they now have on the management and policies of Johnson Controls. In addition, former Johnson Controls shareholders will own only approximately 56% of the shares of Adient following the spin-off of Adient.

Upon consummation of the merger, the composition of the board of directors of the combined company will be different than the current Johnson Controls board of directors and the current Tyco board of directors. The Johnson Controls board of directors and the Tyco board of directors each currently consists of 11 directors. Upon the consummation of the merger, the board of directors of the combined company will consist of 11 members, six of whom will be directors serving on the Johnson Controls board of directors prior to the closing, including Johnson Controls' current Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and five other directors mutually agreed between Johnson Controls and Tyco, and five of whom will be directors serving on the Tyco board of directors prior to the closing, including Tyco's current Chief Executive Officer and four other directors mutually agreed between Johnson Controls and Tyco.

Neither the Johnson Controls board of directors nor the Tyco board of directors has obtained updated opinions from their respective financial advisors as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, nor does either expect to receive updated, revised or reaffirmed opinions prior to the consummation of the merger. Changes in the operations and prospects of Johnson Controls or Tyco, general market and economic conditions and other factors that may be beyond the control of Johnson Controls or Tyco, and on which Johnson Controls' and Tyco's financial advisors' opinions were based, may significantly alter the value of Johnson Controls or Tyco or the prices of shares of Johnson Controls common stock or Tyco ordinary shares by the time the merger is consummated.

If the merger is not consummated for any reason, Johnson Controls and Tyco may be subjected to a number of material risks. The price of Johnson Controls common stock and of Tyco ordinary shares may decline to the extent that their current market prices reflect a market assumption that the merger will be consummated. In addition, some costs related to the merger must be paid by Johnson Controls and Tyco whether or not the merger is consummated. Furthermore, Johnson Controls and Tyco may experience negative reactions from their respective shareholders, customers and employees.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Irish resident or ordinarily resident holders of Johnson Controls common stock may be subject to Irish tax on chargeable gains on the cancellation of their shares of Johnson Controls common stock.

Johnson Controls shareholders that are resident or ordinarily resident in Ireland for Irish tax purposes, or Johnson Controls shareholders that hold their shares of Johnson Controls common stock in connection with a trade carried on by such persons through an Irish branch or agency, will, subject to the availability of any exemptions and reliefs, generally be subject to Irish tax on chargeable gains ("Irish CGT") arising on the cancellation of their shares of Johnson Controls common stock pursuant to the merger. Such shareholders should consult their own tax advisors as to the Irish tax consequences of the merger.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Ordinary shares of the combined company received by means of a gift or inheritance could be subject to Irish capital acquisitions tax.

Irish capital acquisitions tax ("CAT") (currently levied at a rate of 33% above certain tax-free thresholds) could apply to a gift or inheritance of ordinary shares of the combined company irrespective of the place of residence, ordinary residence or domicile of the parties. This is because combined company ordinary shares will be regarded as property situated in Ireland for CAT purposes. The person who receives the gift or inheritance has primary liability for CAT. See " Certain Tax Consequences of the MergerIrish Tax ConsiderationsCapital Acquisitions Tax (CAT) ."

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Johnson Controls and Tyco shareholders will not be entitled to dissenters' or appraisal rights in the merger.

Dissenters' or appraisal rights are statutory rights that, if applicable under law, enable shareholders to dissent from an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, and to demand that the corporation pay the fair value for their shares as determined by a court in a judicial proceeding instead of receiving the consideration offered to shareholders in connection with the extraordinary transaction. Generally, under Irish law, shareholders of an Irish company such as Tyco do not have dissenters' or appraisal rights.

Under the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law ("WBCL"), shareholders do not have dissenters rights if the shares of stock they hold at the record date for determination of shareholders entitled to notice of the shareholders meeting at which shareholders are to vote on the on the proposed corporate action are either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. automated quotations system. Because Johnson Controls common stock is listed on the NYSE, a national securities exchange, and is expected to continue to be so listed on the Johnson Controls record date, holders of Johnson Controls common stock will not be entitled to dissenters' rights in the merger with respect to their shares of Johnson Controls common stock.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Risks Related to the Business of the Combined Company

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Johnson Controls and Tyco may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the merger or those benefits may take longer to realize than expected. The combined company may also encounter significant difficulties in combining Johnson Controls' and Tyco's businesses.

The ability of Johnson Controls and Tyco to realize the anticipated benefits of the merger will depend, to a large extent, on the combined company's ability to combine Johnson Controls' and Tyco's businesses in a manner that facilitates growth opportunities and realizes anticipated synergies, and achieves the projected stand-alone cost savings and revenue growth trends identified by each company. It is expected that the combined company will benefit from operational and general and administrative cost synergies resulting from the consolidation of capabilities and branch optimization, as well as greater tax efficiencies from global management and global cash movement, and may also enjoy revenue synergies, including product and service cross-selling, a more diversified and expanded product offering and balance across geographic regions. In order to achieve these expected benefits, the combined company must successfully combine the businesses of Johnson Controls and Tyco in a manner that permits these cost savings and synergies to be realized and must achieve the anticipated savings and synergies without adversely affecting current revenues and investments in future growth. If the combined company is not able to successfully achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the merger may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected.

In addition, the combination of two independent businesses is a complex, costly and time-consuming process. As a result, Johnson Controls and Tyco will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to combining their business practices and operations. This process may disrupt the businesses. The failure to meet the challenges involved in combining the two businesses and to realize the anticipated benefits of the transactions could cause an interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, the activities of the combined company and could adversely affect the results of operations of the combined company. The overall combination of Johnson Controls' and Tyco's businesses may also result in material unanticipated problems, expenses, liabilities, competitive responses, loss of customer and other business relationships and diversion of management attention. The difficulties of combining the operations of the companies include, among others:

Many of these factors are outside of the control of Johnson Controls and Tyco and/or will be outside the control of the combined company, and any one of them could result in increased costs, decreased expected revenues and diversion of management time and energy, which could materially impact the business, financial condition and results of operations of the combined company. In addition, even if the operations of the businesses of Johnson Controls and Tyco are combined successfully, the full benefits of the merger may not be realized, including the synergies, cost savings or sales or growth opportunities that are expected. These benefits may not be achieved within the anticipated time frame, or at all. Further, additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in combining the businesses of Johnson Controls and Tyco. All of these factors could cause dilution to the earnings per share of the combined company, decrease or delay the expected accretive effect of the merger, and negatively impact the price of the combined company ordinary shares. As a result, it cannot be assured that the combination of Johnson Controls and Tyco will result in the realization of the full benefits anticipated from the transaction within the anticipated time frames or at all.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Johnson Controls and Tyco will incur direct and indirect costs as a result of the merger.

Johnson Controls and Tyco will incur substantial expenses in connection with and as a result of consummating the merger, and over a period of time following the consummation of the merger, the combined company also expects to incur substantial expenses in connection with combining and coordinating the businesses, operations, policies and procedures of Johnson Controls and Tyco. A portion of the transaction costs related to the merger will be incurred regardless of whether the merger is consummated. While Johnson Controls and Tyco have assumed that a certain level of transaction expenses will be incurred, factors beyond Johnson Controls' and Tyco's control could affect the total amount or the timing of these expenses. Many of the expenses that will be incurred, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately. These expenses may exceed the costs historically borne by Johnson Controls and Tyco. These costs could adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations of Johnson Controls and Tyco prior to the merger and of the combined company following the merger.

The pro forma financial information has been derived from the audited and unaudited historical financial statements of Johnson Controls and Tyco and certain adjustments and assumptions regarding the combined company after giving effect to the merger. The assets and liabilities of Tyco have been measured at fair value based on various preliminary estimates using assumptions that Johnson Controls management and Tyco management believe are reasonable utilizing information currently available. The process for estimating the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities requires the use of judgment in determining the appropriate assumptions and estimates. These estimates may be revised as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed.

Johnson Controls and Tyco intend to complete the separation of Johnson Controls' Automotive Experience business following the closing of the merger through a spin-off of such business as a separate, publicly traded company, which will be named Adient. It is the intention of the parties for, and the merger agreement contains representations (including representations relating to the completeness at the closing of the merger of the Form 10 registration statement to be filed by Adient) and covenants relating to the steps to be taken by the parties to enable, the spin-off to be completed substantially in the same manner and on substantially the same timeline as previously announced by Johnson Controls. However, there can be no assurance that the separation will occur within that timeframe, or at all, and the separation may be effected at a different time or in a different manner. In addition, the spin-off of Adient may require additional financing. There can be no assurance that the Automotive Experience business will be able to obtain any such financing on the expected timeline of the spin-off or at all. The separation is expected to be approved by the combined company's board following the consummation of the merger, and until the separation occurs, the combined company will have the discretion to determine and change the terms of the separation or determine not to proceed with the separation.

The combined company and its shareholders may not realize the potential benefits expected from the spin-off of Johnson Controls' Automotive Experience business following the consummation of the merger. Johnson Controls and the combined company will also incur significant costs and some negative effects from the separation of the Automotive Experience business, including loss of access to some of the financial, managerial and professional resources from which Johnson Controls has benefited in the past and diminished diversification of revenue sources, which may increase volatility of results of operations, cash flows, working capital and financing requirements.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" The Internal Revenue Service may not agree that the combined company should be treated as a non-U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes and may not agree that the combined company's U.S. affiliates should not be subject to certain adverse U.S. federal income tax rules.

Under current U.S. federal tax law, a corporation is generally considered for U.S. federal tax purposes to be a tax resident in the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation. Because the combined company is an Irish incorporated entity, it would generally be classified as a non-U.S. corporation (and, therefore, a non-U.S. tax resident) under these rules. However, Section 7874 of the Code ("Section 7874") provides an exception to this general rule under which a non-U.S. incorporated entity may, in certain circumstances, be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes.

Under Section 7874, if (1) the Johnson Controls shareholders own (within the meaning of Section 7874) 80% or more (by vote or value) of the ordinary shares of the combined company after the merger by reason of holding Johnson Controls common stock (the "80% ownership test," and such ownership percentage the "Section 7874 ownership percentage"), and (2) the combined company's "expanded affiliated group" does not have "substantial business activities" in Ireland (the "substantial business activities test"), the combined company will be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes. If the Section 7874 ownership percentage of the Johnson Controls shareholders in the combined company after the merger is less than 80% but at least 60% (the "60% ownership test"), and the substantial business activities test is not met, Johnson Controls and its U.S. affiliates (including the U.S. affiliates historically owned by Tyco) may, in some circumstances, be subject to certain adverse U.S. federal income tax rules (which, among other things, could limit their ability to utilize certain U.S. tax attributes to offset U.S. taxable income or gain resulting from certain transactions).

Based on the terms of the merger, the rules for determining share ownership under Section 7874 and certain factual assumptions, Johnson Controls shareholders are expected to own (within the meaning of Section 7874) less than 60% (by both vote and value) of the ordinary shares of the combined company after the merger by reason of holding shares of Johnson Controls common stock. Therefore, under current law, it is expected that the combined company should not be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes and that Section 7874 should otherwise not apply to the combined company or its affiliates as a result of the merger.

However, the rules under Section 7874 are relatively new and complex and there is limited guidance regarding their application. In particular, ownership for purposes of Section 7874 is subject to various adjustments under the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and there is limited guidance regarding Section 7874, including with respect to the application of the ownership tests described above. As a result, the determination of the Section 7874 ownership percentage is complex and is subject to factual and legal uncertainties. Thus, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") will agree with the position that the combined company should not be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes or that Section 7874 does not otherwise apply as a result of the merger.

In addition, the U.S. Treasury Department (the "U.S. Treasury") and the IRS have recently issued two notices (the "notices") announcing their intention to issue additional regulations under Section 7874, which regulations would generally apply retroactively to the date of the relevant notice. The regulations described in these notices would, among other things, require certain adjustments that generally increase, for purposes of the Section 7874 ownership tests, the percentage of the stock of a foreign acquiring corporation deemed owned (within the meaning of Section 7874) by the former

Table of Contents

shareholders of an acquired U.S. corporation by reason of holding stock in such U.S. corporation. For example, these regulations would disregard, for purposes of determining this ownership percentage, any "non-ordinary course distributions" (within the meaning of the notices) made by the acquired U.S. corporation (such as Johnson Controls) during the 36 months preceding the acquisition, including certain dividends and share repurchases, as well as potentially any cash consideration received by the shareholders of such U.S. corporation in the acquisition to the extent such cash is, directly or indirectly, provided by the U.S. corporation. Taking into account the anticipated effect of these future regulations, it is currently expected that the Section 7874 ownership percentage of the Johnson Controls shareholders in the combined company will be less than 60%. However, these regulations have not yet been issued and, until they are enacted, their precise scope, application and effect will remain unclear. Such regulations may nevertheless apply to the merger even if enacted after the merger is consummated and may have the effect of increasing the Section 7874 ownership percentage of the Johnson Controls shareholders. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Section 7874 ownership percentage of the Johnson Controls shareholders will be less than 60% as determined under such future regulations, or that the IRS will not otherwise successfully assert that either the 80% ownership test or the 60% ownership test were met after the merger.

If the 80% ownership test were met after the merger and the combined company were accordingly treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes under Section 7874, the combined company would be subject to substantial additional U.S. tax liability. Additionally, in such case, non-U.S. shareholders of the combined company would be subject to U.S. withholding tax on the gross amount of any dividends paid by the combined company to such shareholders (subject to an exemption or reduced rate available under an applicable tax treaty). Regardless of any application of Section 7874, the combined company is expected to be treated as an Irish tax resident for Irish tax purposes. Consequently, if the combined company were to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes under Section 7874, it could be liable for both U.S. and Irish taxes, which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.

If the 60% ownership test were met, several adverse U.S. federal income tax rules could apply to the U.S. affiliates of the combined company. In particular, in such case, Section 7874 could limit the ability of such U.S. affiliates to utilize certain U.S. tax attributes (including net operating losses and certain tax credits) to offset any taxable income or gain resulting from certain transactions, including any transfers or licenses of property to a foreign related person during the 10-year period following the merger. Moreover, in the notices, the U.S. Treasury and the IRS have announced their intention to expand the scope of these rules. If the 60% ownership test were met after the merger, such current and future limitations would apply to Johnson Controls and its U.S. affiliates (including the U.S. affiliates historically owned by Tyco), and their application could limit their ability to utilize such U.S. tax attributes against any income or gain recognized in connection with certain currently contemplated transactions (including certain transactions contemplated to be undertaken in connection with the contemplated spin-off). In such case, the application of such rules could result in significant additional U.S. tax liability. The U.S. Treasury and the IRS also announced in the notices their intention to promulgate certain other new rules that would apply if the 60% ownership test were met, which, in such situation, may limit the combined company's ability to restructure or access cash earned by its non-U.S. subsidiaries, in each case without incurring substantial U.S. tax liabilities. Moreover, in such case, Section 4985 of the Code and rules related thereto would impose an excise tax on the value of certain stock compensation held directly or indirectly by certain "disqualified individuals" at a rate equal to 15%. The merger agreement permits Johnson Controls and Tyco to enter into agreements with their directors and executive officers providing for the reimbursement of any taxes imposed under Section 4985 of the Code in connection with the merger.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Future potential changes to the tax laws could result in the combined company being treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes or in Johnson Controls and its U.S. affiliates (including the U.S. affiliates historically owned by Tyco) being subject to certain adverse U.S. federal income tax rules, which, if adopted prior to closing, could jeopardize the consummation of the merger.

As discussed above, under current law, the combined company is expected to be treated as a non-U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes and Section 7874 is not otherwise expected to apply as a result of the merger. However, changes to Section 7874, or the U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, could affect the combined company's status as a non-U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes or could result in the application of certain adverse U.S. federal income tax rules to Johnson Controls and its U.S. affiliates (including the U.S. affiliates historically owned by Tyco). Any such changes could have prospective or retroactive application, and may apply even if enacted after the merger is consummated. If the combined company were to be treated as a U.S. corporation for federal tax purposes or if Johnson Controls and its U.S. affiliates (including the U.S. affiliates historically owned by Tyco) were to become subject to such adverse U.S. federal income tax rules, the combined company and its U.S. affiliates could be subject to substantially greater U.S. tax liability than currently contemplated.

Each of the Johnson Controls board of directors and the Tyco board of directors may, subject to certain limitations, change its recommendation as a result of any effect that occurs after the date of the merger agreement, including any change in or issuance of, or proposed change in or issuance of, applicable law (whether or not yet approved or effective), if such board of directors has concluded in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel) that the effect would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the expected benefits of the merger to the company's shareholders from a financial point of view and that failure to change such recommendation would be inconsistent with the directors' fiduciary duties. Any such change in or issuance of, or proposed change in or issuance of, applicable law, could include changes relating to Section 7874, whether by statute, regulation or notice. In the event of such a change of recommendation, the other party may terminate the merger agreement. In addition, either party may terminate the merger agreement in response to any such effect that is a change in or issuance of, or proposed change in or issuance of, applicable law, subject to certain limitations. In the event of any such change of recommendation and termination, either Johnson Controls or Tyco may be required to pay a fee to the other party (in the case of Tyco, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Tyco).

Recent legislative and other proposals have aimed to expand the scope of U.S. corporate tax residence, including in such a way as would cause the combined company to be treated as a U.S. corporation if the management and control of the combined company and its affiliates were determined to be located primarily in the United States. In addition, recent legislative and other proposals have aimed to expand the scope of Section 7874, or otherwise address certain perceived issues arising in connection with so-called inversion transactions. For example, a provision in the Obama Administration's 2017 budget proposals, which, if enacted in its present form, would be effective for transactions completed after December 31, 2016, as well as proposals introduced by certain Democratic members of both houses of Congress, which, if enacted in their present form, would be effective retroactively to any transactions completed after May 8, 2014, would, among other things, treat a foreign acquiring corporation as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes under Section 7874 if the former shareholders of a U.S. corporation acquired by such foreign acquiring corporation own

more than 50% of the shares of the foreign acquiring corporation after the acquisition. These proposals, if enacted in their present form and made effective to the date of the closing of the merger, would cause the combined company to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes. In such case, the combined company would be subject to substantially greater U.S. tax liability than currently contemplated. Other recent legislative and other proposals (including most recently proposed legislation introduced by Democratic members of the House of Representatives on February 23, 2016, which, if enacted in its present form, would be effective with respect to any transactions completed after May 8, 2014 and would apply to the combined company following the merger; proposed legislation introduced by Democratic members of the Senate on March 10, 2016, which, if enacted in its present form, would be effective with respect to taxable years ending after March 9, 2016; and proposed legislation introduced by Democratic members of the Senate on March 10, 2016, which, if enacted in its present form, would, be effective with respect to taxable years beginning after the date of enactment), if enacted, could cause the combined company and its affiliates to be subject to certain intercompany financing limitations, including with respect to their ability to use certain interest expense deductions, and could cause the combined company and its affiliates to recognize additional taxable income). Any such proposals, and any other relevant provisions that could change on a prospective or retroactive basis, could have a significant adverse effect on the combined company and its affiliates. It is presently uncertain whether any such proposals or other legislative action relating to the scope of U.S. tax residence, Section 7874 or so-called inversion transactions or inverted groups will be enacted into law.

In addition, the U.S. Treasury and the IRS have recently announced their intention to issue new regulations under Section 7874 or otherwise with respect to inversion transactions or inverted groups. The regulations described in the notices would generally have the effect of increasing the likelihood that the relevant ownership percentages under Section 7874 will be exceeded. In addition, such regulations would cause certain adverse U.S. tax rules to apply to so-called inverted groups that would generally limit or eliminate certain tax benefits of inversion transactions, including by limiting access to certain foreign earnings and the ability to engage in certain restructuring transactions, in each case, without significant U.S. tax costs. While it is presently not expected that such rules and limitations would apply to the combined company and its affiliates after the merger, as discussed above, there can be no assurance that the IRS would not challenge such position or that such challenge would not be sustained by a court. In addition, the precise scope and application of such regulations will not be clear until such regulations are actually issued. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that such regulations would not have an adverse impact on the combined company and its affiliates. Moreover, the notices also indicate that the U.S. Treasury and the IRS are considering additional guidance, which in the case of inverted groups, would be retroactive to September 22, 2014, to address certain transactions that have the effect of "shifting" U.S.-source earnings to lower-tax jurisdictions, including by limiting U.S. tax deductions for interest on certain intercompany debt obligations. Any such future guidance could adversely affect the combined company and its affiliates and their financial position and results.

The U.S. Congress, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and other government agencies in jurisdictions where the combined company and its affiliates will conduct business have had an extended focus on issues related to the taxation of multinational corporations. One example is in the area of "base erosion and profit shifting," including situations where payments are made between affiliates from a jurisdiction with high tax rates to a jurisdiction with lower tax rates. As a result, the tax laws in the United States, Ireland and other countries in which the combined company and its affiliates will do business could change on a prospective or retroactive basis, and any such changes could adversely affect the combined company.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Changes to the U.S. Model Income Tax Treaty could adversely affect the combined company.

On February 17, 2016, the U.S. Treasury released a newly revised U.S. model income tax convention (the "model"), which is the baseline text used by the U.S. Treasury to negotiate tax treaties. The new model treaty provisions were preceded by draft versions released by the U.S. Treasury on May 20, 2015 (the "May 2015 draft") for public comment. The revisions made to the model address certain aspects of the model by modifying existing provisions and introducing entirely new provisions. Specifically, the new provisions target (i) permanent establishments subject to little or no foreign tax, (ii) special tax regimes, (iii) expatriated entities subject to Section 7874, (iv) the anti-treaty shopping measures of the limitation on benefits article and (v) subsequent changes in treaty partners' tax laws.

With respect to new model provisions pertaining to expatriated entities, because it is expected that the merger will not result in the creation of an expatriated entity as defined in Section 7874, payments of interest, dividends, royalties and certain other items of income by or to Johnson Controls and/or its U.S. affiliates to or from non-U.S. persons would not be expected to become subject to full withholding tax, even if applicable treaties were subsequently amended to adopt the new model provisions. In response to comments the U.S. Treasury received regarding the May 2015 draft, the new model treaty provisions pertaining to expatriated entities fix the definition of "expatriated entity" to the meaning ascribed to such term under Section 7874(a)(2)(A) as of the date the relevant bilateral treaty is signed. However, as discussed above, the rules under Section 7874 are relatively new, complex and are the subject of current and future legislative and regulatory changes. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with the position that the merger does not result in the creation of an expatriated entity (within the meaning of Section 7874) under the law as in effect at the time the applicable treaty were amended or that such a challenge would not be sustained by a court, or that such position would not be affected by future or regulatory action which may apply retroactively to the merger.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" The tax rate that will apply to the combined company is uncertain and may vary from expectations.

There can be no assurance that the merger will improve the combined company's ability to maintain any particular worldwide effective corporate tax rate. Johnson Controls and Tyco cannot give any assurance as to what the combined company's effective tax rate will be after the merger because of, among other things, uncertainty regarding the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which the combined company and its affiliates will operate. The combined company's actual effective tax rate may vary from Johnson Controls' and Tyco's expectations, and such variance may be material. Additionally, tax laws or their implementation and applicable tax authority practices in any particular jurisdiction could change in the future, possibly on a retroactive basis, and any such change could have an adverse impact on the combined company and its affiliates.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Legislative or other governmental action in the U.S. could adversely affect the combined company's business.

Legislative action may be taken by the U.S. Congress that, if ultimately enacted, could limit the availability of tax benefits or deductions that Tyco currently claims, override tax treaties upon which Tyco relies, or otherwise affect the taxes that the United States imposes on the combined company's worldwide operations. Such changes could materially adversely affect the combined company's effective tax rate and/or require the combined company to take further action, at potentially significant expense, to seek to preserve its effective tax rate. In addition, if proposals were enacted that had the effect of limiting the combined company's ability as an Irish company to take advantage of tax treaties with the United States, the combined company could incur additional tax expense and/or otherwise incur business detriment.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" The laws of Ireland differ from the laws in effect in the United States and may afford less protection to holders of securities in the combined company.

It may not be possible to enforce court judgments obtained in the United States against the combined company in Ireland, based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal or state securities laws. In addition, there is some uncertainty as to whether the courts of Ireland would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against the combined company or its directors or officers based on the civil liabilities provisions of the U.S. federal or state securities laws, or hear actions against the combined company or those persons based on those laws. Tyco and Johnson Controls have been advised that the United States currently does not have a treaty with Ireland 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 Ireland.

A judgment obtained against the combined company will be enforced by the courts of Ireland if the following general requirements are met:

A judgment can be final and conclusive even if it is subject to appeal or even if an appeal is pending. But where the effect of lodging an appeal under the applicable law is to stay execution of the judgment, it is possible that in the meantime the judgment may not be actionable in Ireland. It remains to be determined whether final judgment given in default of appearance is final and conclusive. Irish courts may also refuse to enforce a judgment of the U.S. courts which meets the above requirements for one of the following reasons:

As an Irish company, the combined company will be governed by the Irish Companies Act, which differs in some material respects from laws generally applicable to U.S. corporations and shareholders, including, among others, differences relating to interested director and officer transactions and shareholder lawsuits. Likewise, the duties of directors and officers of an Irish company generally are owed to the company only. Shareholders of Irish companies generally do not have a personal right of action against directors or officers of the company and may exercise such rights of action on behalf of the company only in limited circumstances. Accordingly, holders of securities of the combined company may have more difficulty protecting their interests than would holders of securities of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction of the United States.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" As a result of different shareholder voting requirements in Ireland relative to Wisconsin, the combined company will have less flexibility with respect to certain aspects of capital management than Johnson Controls currently has.

Under Wisconsin law and Johnson Controls' charter and bylaws, Johnson Controls' directors may issue, without shareholder approval or any preemptive rights, any shares authorized by its articles of incorporation that are not already issued. Under Irish law, the combined company's directors may issue new ordinary or preferred shares once authorized to do so by the memorandum and articles of association of the combined company or by an ordinary resolution of the combined company's shareholders, such authorization being subject to a five-year time limit. Additionally, subject to specified exceptions, Irish law grants statutory preemption rights to existing shareholders to subscribe for new issuances of shares for cash, but allows shareholders to waive their statutory preemption rights by way of special resolution or under the articles of association of the company, subject to a five-year limit on such waiver. Tyco is currently authorized (pursuant to its articles of association adopted on September 8, 2014) to issue up to the entire of the authorized but unissued share capital of Tyco as at the date of the authorization without applying pre-emption rights. For the purposes of issuing shares pursuant to the merger agreement, Tyco is asking its shareholders to increase the authorized but unissued share capital of Tyco by means of the Tyco pre-merger authorized share capital increase proposal and to permit the directors of Tyco to issue and allot those shares pursuant to the Tyco share issuance proposal. Following the consummation of the merger, the combined company will have used almost all of its authorized but unissued ordinary share capital and, therefore, the authority of its directors to issue shares (both on a pre-emptive basis and a non-preemptive basis). As a result, the combined company will be very limited in its ability to issue new ordinary shares, subject to the passing of the Tyco allotment authority proposal and the Tyco pre-emption waiver proposal at the Tyco EGM. If the Tyco allotment authority proposal and the Tyco pre-emption waiver proposal are approved at the Tyco EGM, the authorities will expire on the earlier of the date of the combined company annual general meeting in 2017 or [ ] 2017 unless renewed. Johnson Controls and Tyco cannot provide any assurance that the proposals will be passed at the Tyco EGM or that the authorizations will always be renewed going forward, which could limit the combined company's ability to issue equity and thereby adversely affect the holders of the combined company's securities. While Johnson Controls and Tyco do not believe that the differences between Wisconsin law and Irish law relating to the combined company's capital management will have an adverse effect on the combined company, situations may arise where the flexibility Johnson Controls now has under Wisconsin law would have provided benefits to the combined company's shareholders that will not be available under Irish law.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Transfers of combined company ordinary shares, other than by means of the transfer of book-entry interests in the Depository Trust Company, may be subject to Irish stamp duty.

It is expected that, for the majority of transfers of ordinary shares of the combined company, there will not be any Irish stamp duty. Transfers of combined company ordinary shares effected by means of the transfer of book-entry interests in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") are not subject to Irish stamp duty. But if you hold your combined company ordinary shares directly rather than beneficially through DTC, any transfer of your combined company ordinary shares could be subject to Irish stamp duty (currently at the rate of 1% of the higher of the price paid or the market value of the shares acquired). A shareholder who directly holds combined company ordinary shares may transfer those shares into his or her own broker account to be held through DTC (or vice versa) without giving rise to Irish stamp duty provided that there is no change in the beneficial ownership of the shares as a result of the transfer and the transfer is not in contemplation of a sale of the shares by a beneficial owner to a third party.

Payment of Irish stamp duty is generally a legal obligation of the transferee. The potential for stamp duty could adversely affect the price of your combined company ordinary shares. See " Certain Tax Consequences of the MergerIrish Tax ConsiderationsStamp Duty ."

In certain limited circumstances, Irish dividend withholding tax ("DWT") (currently at a rate of 20%) may arise in respect of dividends paid on ordinary shares of the combined company. A number of exemptions from DWT exist pursuant to which shareholders resident in the United States and shareholders resident in the countries listed in Annex F attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus (the "Relevant Territories") may be entitled to exemptions from DWT.

See " Certain Tax Consequences of the MergerIrish Tax ConsiderationsWithholding Tax on Dividends (DWT) " and, in particular, please note the requirement to complete certain relevant Irish Revenue Commissioners DWT forms ("DWT Forms") in order to qualify for many of the exemptions.

Dividends paid in respect of combined company ordinary shares that are owned by a U.S. resident and held through DTC will not be subject to DWT provided the address of the beneficial owner of such shares in the records of the broker holding such shares is recorded as being in the United States (and such broker has further transmitted the relevant information to a qualifying intermediary appointed by the combined company). Similarly, dividends paid in respect of combined company ordinary shares that are held outside of DTC and are owned by a former Johnson Controls shareholder who is a resident of the United States will not be subject to DWT if such shareholder satisfies the conditions of one of the exemptions including the requirement to furnish a completed IRS Form 6166 or a valid DWT Form to the combined company's transfer agent to confirm U.S. residence and claim an exemption. Combined company shareholders resident in other Relevant Territories may also be eligible for exemption from DWT on dividends paid in respect of their combined company ordinary shares provided they satisfy the conditions of one of the exemptions including the requirement to furnish valid DWT Forms to their brokers (in respect of such shares held through DTC) (and such broker has further transmitted the relevant information to a qualifying intermediary appointed by the combined company) or to the combined company's transfer agent (in respect of such shares held outside of DTC). Other combined company shareholders may be subject to DWT, which could adversely affect the price of your combined company ordinary shares.

SELECTED UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA

The following selected unaudited pro forma combined financial data (the "selected pro forma data") gives effect to the merger of Johnson Controls and Tyco. The merger has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition with Johnson Controls considered to be acquiring Tyco in the merger for accounting purposes. The selected pro forma data has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under U.S. GAAP, under which the assets and liabilities of Tyco will be recorded by Johnson Controls at their respective fair values as of the date the merger is consummated. The selected unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet data as of December 31, 2015 gives a preliminary effect to the merger as if it had occurred on December 31, 2015. The selected unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations data for the year ended September 30, 2015 and the three months ended December 31, 2015, gives effect to the merger as if it had occurred on October 1, 2014. The selected pro forma data is shown both before and after giving effect to the separation of Johnson Controls' Automotive Experience business.

The selected pro forma data, which is preliminary in nature, has been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed unaudited pro forma combined financial information of the combined company appearing elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial information.

JOHNSON CONTROLS PROPOSALS

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Johnson Controls Merger Proposal

As discussed throughout this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Johnson Controls is asking its shareholders to approve the Johnson Controls merger proposal. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the businesses of Johnson Controls and Tyco will be combined under a single company. The merger is structured as a "reverse merger," in which Johnson Controls will merge with an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Tyco, with Tyco being the parent entity of the combined company. Following the merger, Tyco will change its name to "Johnson Controls plc" (subject to the approval of the Registrar of Companies in Ireland) and is referred to as the "combined company." Shares of Johnson Controls common stock currently trade on the NYSE under the symbol "JCI," and Tyco ordinary shares currently trade on the NYSE under the symbol "TYC." Following the merger, Johnson Controls common stock will be delisted from the NYSE, deregistered under the Exchange Act and cease to be publicly traded, and the ordinary shares of the combined company will trade on the NYSE using the current Johnson Controls symbol "JCI."

Holders of shares of Johnson Controls common stock should carefully read this joint proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety, including the annexes, for more detailed information concerning the merger agreement and the merger. In particular, holders of shares of Johnson Controls common stock are directed to the merger agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Johnson Controls Advisory Compensation Proposal

Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and Rule 14a-21(c) of the Exchange Act, Johnson Controls is seeking non-binding, advisory shareholder approval of the compensation of Johnson Controls' named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the merger as disclosed in " The MergerInterests of Johnson Controls' Directors and Executive Officers in the MergerQuantification of Payments and Benefits to Johnson Controls' Named Executive Officers ." The proposal gives Johnson Controls' shareholders the opportunity to express their views on the merger-related compensation of Johnson Controls' named executive officers. Accordingly, Johnson Controls is requesting shareholders to adopt the following resolution, on a non-binding, advisory basis:

"RESOLVED, that the compensation that may be paid or become payable to Johnson Controls' named executive officers in connection with the merger, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K in " The MergerInterests of Johnson Controls' Directors and Executive Officers in the MergerQuantification of Payments and Benefits to Johnson Controls' Named Executive Officers ," is hereby APPROVED."

Consummation of the merger is not conditioned on approval of the Johnson Controls advisory compensation proposal. Because the vote is advisory in nature only, it will not be binding on either Johnson Controls or the combined company. Accordingly, to the extent Johnson Controls or the combined company is contractually obligated to pay the compensation, the compensation will be payable to the Johnson Controls named executive officers, subject only to the conditions applicable thereto, if the merger agreement is approved and adopted and the merger consummated, regardless of the outcome of the advisory vote.

Your bank, broker or other nominee, as applicable, may have an earlier deadline by which you must provide instructions to it as to how to vote your Tyco ordinary shares, so you should read carefully the materials provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee.

You may not vote shares held in "street name" by returning a proxy card directly to Tyco or by voting in person at the Tyco EGM unless you provide a "legal proxy," which you must obtain from your broker, bank or other nominee. Further, banks, brokers or other nominees who hold Tyco ordinary shares on behalf of their customers may not give a proxy to Tyco to vote those shares with respect to any of the Tyco proposals without specific instructions from their customers, as banks, brokers and other nominees do not have discretionary voting power on any of the Tyco proposals. Therefore, if your Tyco ordinary shares are held in "street name" and you do not instruct your bank, broker or other nominee on how to vote your shares, your shares will have no effect on the vote count for any of the Tyco proposals.

Tyco is asking its shareholders to approve amendments to its memorandum and articles of association. Under Irish law separate resolutions are required to approve amendments to the memorandum of association of Tyco, which sets out amongst other things the corporate objects of Tyco, and the articles of association of Tyco, which regulate amongst other matters the governance of Tyco. Accordingly, resolution 1 of the Tyco EGM proposes amendments to the corporate objects set out in the memorandum of association and resolution 2 proposes amendments to the articles of association of Tyco.

Holders of Tyco ordinary shares should read this joint proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety, including in particular the amendments to the Tyco memorandum and articles of association set forth in Annex B-1 and Annex B-2.

Save for the amendments to articles 1, 30 and 74(a) and the definitions of "Act" and "Acts," the amendments to the memorandum and articles of association will take effect from and are conditional upon the consummation of the merger and Tyco will not effect these changes if the merger is not consummated, notwithstanding that Tyco shareholders may have previously approved the Tyco governing documents proposals. The amendments to articles 1 and 30 and the definitions of "Act" and "Acts," will take immediate effect on the passing of resolution 2 and are not conditional on the merger being consummated as they are required to be in force before the merger is consummated in order to facilitate the Tyco share consolidation proposal and the Tyco share renominalization proposal and since they constitute changes which do not involve a material change from the current governance of Tyco.

Tyco is asking its shareholders to approve the Tyco share consolidation proposal. By approving the Tyco share consolidation proposal, the Tyco shareholders approve, subject to the consummation of the merger, the Tyco share consolidation which will occur immediately prior to the consummation of the merger and immediately prior to the pre-merger authorized share capital increase (resolution 4) becoming effective. If the Tyco shareholders approve the Tyco share consolidation proposal and Tyco effects the Tyco share consolidation, then each issued and outstanding Tyco ordinary share of nominal value $0.01 will be consolidated into 0.955 Tyco ordinary shares of nominal value of approximately $0.01047, which will become ordinary shares of the combined company in the merger. The Tyco share consolidation proposal is being proposed as an ordinary resolution, as resolution 3 at the Tyco EGM.

If Tyco effects the Tyco share consolidation, then, except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional entitlements as described below, prior to giving effect to the merger each Tyco shareholder will hold the same percentage of then-outstanding Tyco ordinary shares immediately following the Tyco share consolidation as such Tyco shareholder held immediately prior to the Tyco share consolidation.

If Tyco shareholders approve the Tyco share consolidation proposal and Tyco effects the Tyco share consolidation, each Tyco shareholder will own a reduced number of Tyco ordinary shares upon the effectiveness of the Tyco share consolidation. Tyco would effect the Tyco share consolidation simultaneously for all outstanding Tyco ordinary shares. The Tyco share consolidation will change the nominal value of Tyco ordinary shares from $0.01 to approximately $0.01047 per share.

percentage ownership interest in Tyco, except to the extent that the Tyco share consolidation would result in any Tyco shareholder otherwise owning a fractional entitlement to a share, which will be dealt with in the manner described under " Fractional Entitlements " below. Therefore, voting rights and other rights and preferences of the holders of Tyco ordinary shares will not be affected by the Tyco share consolidation (save in respect of fractional entitlements). Tyco ordinary shares issued pursuant to the Tyco share consolidation will remain fully paid.

As of the effective time of the Tyco share consolidation, pursuant to and in accordance with the anti-dilution provisions of Tyco's equity incentive plans, Tyco will appropriately and proportionately adjust the number of Tyco ordinary shares issuable in respect of outstanding equity incentive awards, the exercise price of all outstanding options, the total number of Tyco ordinary shares that may be the subject of future grants as well as the individual ordinary share limits under Tyco's equity incentive plans.

Registered Tyco shareholders hold their Tyco ordinary shares in book-entry form and do not have share certificates evidencing their ownership of Tyco ordinary shares. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts. You do not need to take any action to receive your post-Tyco share consolidation shares. If you are entitled to post-Tyco share consolidation shares, a transaction statement will automatically be sent to your address of record indicating the number of shares you hold.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Fractional Entitlements

Tyco will not issue any fractional Tyco ordinary shares in connection with the Tyco share consolidation. Under the Tyco share consolidation, each shareholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional Tyco ordinary share as a result of the Tyco share consolidation will, with respect to such fractional entitlement, be entitled to receive cash in lieu of such fractional entitlement in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds attributable to the sale of such fractional entitlement following the aggregation and sale by Tyco's transfer agent of all Tyco ordinary shares otherwise issuable, on the basis of prevailing market prices at such time.

The Tyco share consolidation will not affect the total ordinary shareholders' equity on Tyco's balance sheet. The per share earnings or losses and net book value of Tyco will be increased after effecting the Tyco share consolidation immediately prior to consummating the merger because there will be fewer Tyco ordinary shares outstanding.

In the merger, each share of Johnson Controls common stock (other than certain shares described in the merger agreement) will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder of such share and subject to the proration procedures set forth in the merger agreement, either (i) one ordinary share of the combined company or (ii) $34.88 in cash, without interest. As a result, Tyco must have the ability to issue new ordinary shares as share consideration in the merger. Therefore it is necessary to ensure that Tyco has sufficient authorized but unissued shares immediately prior to the merger to satisfy the requirements of the merger.

Tyco is asking its shareholders to approve the Tyco pre-merger authorized share capital increase proposal. Under the Tyco memorandum and articles of association, Tyco has a maximum authorized share capital of 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares of $0.01 each (together with 100,000,000 preferred shares of $0.01 each and 40,000 ordinary A shares of €1.00 each), of which [ ] were unissued as of [ ]. The authorized ordinary share capital would be reduced to 955,000,000 ordinary shares as a result of the Tyco share consolidation. The number of shares to be issued to Johnson Controls shareholders under the merger agreement may exceed the available authorized but unissued number of ordinary shares. Under Irish law, separate ordinary resolutions of shareholders are required to (i) increase the current authorized share capital of Tyco and (ii) authorize the directors of Tyco to issue and allot those shares in accordance with section 1021 of the Irish Companies Act. Accordingly resolution 4 of the Tyco EGM proposes to increase the authorized share capital of Tyco to a total of 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares of $0.01047 each (the number of authorized ordinary shares of Tyco immediately prior to the Tyco share consolidation), and resolution 5 of the Tyco EGM proposes to authorize the directors of Tyco under section 1021 of the Irish Companies Act to issue shares up to the increased maximum authorized but unissued share capital for the purposes of issuing shares pursuant to the merger agreement. The issuance by the directors of authorized but unissued share capital following the approval of the Tyco pre-merger authorized share capital increase proposal will still be subject to shareholder approval pursuant to the Tyco share issuance proposal (resolution 5).

Under section 1021 of the Irish Companies Act, an ordinary resolution of Tyco shareholders is required to authorize the directors to issue and allot ordinary shares. Tyco currently has an authority in place for its directors to issue up to its current authorized share capital. Since the maximum authorized share capital is being increased under resolution 4 to facilitate the issuance of shares under the merger agreement, a resolution is also required to authorize the directors of Tyco to issue shares up this new maximum level. The Tyco share issuance proposal therefore proposes to authorize the directors of Tyco to issue and allot shares in accordance with section 1021 of the Irish Companies Act up to the increased maximum authorized share capital provided for in resolution 4 for the purposes of issuing shares pursuant to the merger agreement. The authorities under the Tyco share issuance proposal will expire on the earlier of the Tyco annual general meeting in 2017 and [ ], 2017.

Tyco is asking its shareholders to approve the Tyco name change proposal. Under the merger agreement, upon the consummation of the merger, the name of the combined company shall be "Johnson Controls plc." Since Tyco will be the parent company in the group of the combined company following the consummation of the merger, Tyco's current corporate name of Tyco International plc will be required to be changed. Under Irish law a change of name requires the approval of a special resolution, with the change of name subsequently being filed with the Registrar of Companies in Ireland, which will have final approval over the new name. Accordingly, Tyco is asking its shareholders to adopt resolution 6 as a special resolution to effect the Tyco name change.

Pursuant to the merger agreement, Tyco will seek to change the trading symbol of its ordinary shares listed on the NYSE to "JCI" after the effective time of the merger.

As of March 24, 2016, Johnson Controls had approximately 1,151,664,228 shares of common stock remaining available for issue, representing 64% of Johnson Controls' total authorized shares, with approximately 21,073,991 of such shares reserved to meet obligations with respect to outstanding employee equity awards for issuance under Johnson Controls' employee equity plans. As a result of the merger, the combined company will have used almost all of its authorized but unissued ordinary share capital immediately following the consummation of the merger, with approximately 56,677,143 ordinary shares remaining available for issue, representing approximately 6% of the combined company's total authorized ordinary shares, and approximately 38,099,230 of such ordinary shares reserved for issuance under the combined company's employee equity plans. As a result, the combined company will be very limited in its ability to issue new ordinary shares, including shares to be issued under employee equity plans or as part of a stock for stock acquisition. Tyco is asking its shareholders to approve the Tyco authorized share capital increase proposal in order to preserve a level of headroom in the authorized share capital of the combined company approximately proportionate to the aggregate headroom in the authorized share capital of Johnson Controls and Tyco prior to the merger, and to maintain the proportion of Tyco preferred shares to ordinary shares. If the Tyco authorized share capital increase proposal is approved, immediately following the consummation of the merger, approximately 1,056,677,143 ordinary shares of the combined company will remain available for issue, representing approximately 53% of the combined company's total authorized ordinary shares, with approximately 38,099,230 of such ordinary shares reserved for issuance under the combined company's employee equity plans.

Under Irish law, an ordinary resolution of shareholders is required to increase the authorized share capital of Tyco. Accordingly, resolution 7 of the Tyco EGM, which is being put forward as an ordinary resolution, proposes to increase the authorized share capital of Tyco immediately following the consummation of the merger by an increase of 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares (representing approximately 106% of the expected issued ordinary shares immediately following the consummation of the merger) and 100,000,000 preferred shares. The issuance by the directors of authorized but unissued share capital following the approval of the Tyco authorized share capital increase proposal will still be subject to shareholder approval pursuant to the Tyco allotment authority proposal (resolution 8) and, in the case of issuances that opt-out of statutory pre-emption rights, the Tyco pre-emption waiver proposal (resolution 9).

Under Irish law (section 1021 of the Irish Companies Act), directors of an Irish public limited company must have authority from its shareholders to issue any shares, including shares which are part of the company's authorized but unissued share capital. Tyco's authorization (subject to the passing of resolutions 4 and 5) is to issue up to the entire of the authorized but unissued share capital of the company as increased by resolution 4. Following the consummation of the merger, the combined company will have used almost all of its authorized but unissued ordinary share capital and therefore the authority of its directors to issue further shares. As a result, the combined company will have a limited ability to issue new ordinary shares.

It is customary practice in Ireland to seek shareholder authority to issue shares up to an aggregate nominal value of up to 33% of the aggregate nominal value of the company's issued share capital and for such authority to be renewed each year. Therefore, in accordance with customary practice in Ireland, Tyco is seeking approval pursuant to an ordinary resolution at the Tyco EGM to authorize the board of directors of the combined company to issue shares up to a maximum nominal value of approximately 33% of the aggregate nominal value of its expected issued share capital immediately following the consummation of the merger for a period expiring on the earlier of the date of the combined company's annual general meeting in 2017 or [ ], 2017, unless otherwise varied, revoked or renewed.

Tyco's current authorization (granted on September 8, 2014) is to issue up to the entire of the authorized but unissued share capital of the company as of the date of the authorization without applying pre-emption rights. Following the consummation of the merger, the combined company will have used almost all of its authorized but unissued ordinary share capital and therefore the authority of its directors to issue further shares without applying pre-emption rights. As a result, the combined company will have a limited ability to issue new ordinary shares.

It is customary practice in Ireland to seek shareholder authority to opt-out of the statutory pre-emption rights provision in the case of issuances of shares for cash if the issuance is limited to up to 5% of a company's issued share capital. It is also customary practice for such authority to be subject to renewal each year.

Therefore, in accordance with customary practice in Ireland, Tyco is seeking approval, pursuant to a special resolution, at the Tyco EGM to authorize the board of directors of the combined company to issue shares for cash up to a maximum of approximately 5% of its expected issued share capital following the consummation of the merger, without applying statutory pre-emption rights for a period expiring on the earlier of the annual general meeting in 2017 or [ ], 2017, unless otherwise varied, renewed or revoked.

Under section 83 of the Irish Companies Act as applied by the articles of association of Tyco (as amended pursuant to the Tyco governing documents proposals), the par value of a Tyco share may be decreased with the amount of the deduction being credited to the undenominated share capital of Tyco with the approval of an ordinary resolution. The Tyco share renominalization proposal, if approved, will decrease the par value of each Tyco ordinary share resulting in a par value per ordinary share of $0.01, thereby resulting in ordinary shares in the combined company having a par value of $0.01. Other than resetting the par value to the same figure that applied immediately before the Tyco share consolidation, the share renominalization shall not have any impact on the Tyco

ordinary shares. In particular, the share renominalization shall not affect or reduce in any way the entitlements of the ordinary share on a dividend or distribution by Tyco or upon a liquidation of Tyco. The Tyco share consolidation proposal is being proposed as an ordinary resolution, as resolution 3 at the Tyco EGM.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Vote Required and Tyco Board Recommendation

The affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the votes cast, either in person or by proxy, at the Tyco EGM is required to approve the Tyco share renominalization proposal.

Tyco will only effect the renominalization contemplated by the Tyco share renominalization proposal in connection with the consummation of the merger, with the Tyco share renominalization taking place after the Tyco share consolidation becomes effective and immediately after the pre-merger authorized share capital increase becomes effective (resolution 4).

Consummation of the merger is not conditioned on approval of the Tyco share renominalization proposal. Accordingly, you may vote not to approve the Tyco share renominalization proposal and to approve the other proposals which are conditions to the consummation of the merger.

The Tyco share renominalization proposal is, however, conditional on the Tyco share consolidation occurring, as the Tyco share renominalization would not be required in the absence of the Tyco share consolidation. If the merger is not consummated and the Tyco share consolidation does not occur, the Tyco share renominalization proposal shall have no effect, notwithstanding that Tyco shareholders may have previously approved the Tyco share renominalization proposal.

The Tyco board of directors unanimously recommends a vote " FOR " the Tyco share renominalization proposal.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Tyco Distributable Reserves Creation Proposal (Resolution 11)

In the merger, each share of Johnson Controls common stock (other than certain shares described in the merger agreement) will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder of such share and subject to the proration procedures set forth in the merger agreement, either (i) one ordinary share of the combined company or (ii) $34.88 in cash, without interest. This is expected to significantly increase the amount standing to the credit of the Tyco's share premium account by an amount approximately equal to the market capitalization of Johnson Controls prior to the merger less the cash consideration paid to Johnson Controls shareholders under the merger.

Under Irish law, Tyco may only make distributions (including the payment of cash dividends) to its shareholders or fund share buy-backs from "distributable reserves" in its unconsolidated balance sheet (prepared in accordance with Irish law). Distributable reserves generally means the accumulated realized profits of Tyco less accumulated realized losses of Tyco and can include reserves created by way of capital reductions. (Dividends and distributions by Tyco would also be subject to additional limitations under Irish law.) Significantly, distributable reserves do not include share premium, such as the significant share premium that will be created as a result of the issuance of shares of the combined company to Johnson Controls shareholders under the merger agreement.

It is expected that, as soon as practicable following the consummation of the merger, Tyco, as the combined company, will seek to obtain the approval of the High Court of Ireland to convert all (or such other lesser amount as the board of directors of Tyco or the High Court of Ireland may determine) of its share premium to distributable reserves. The approval of the High Court of Ireland is required for the Tyco distributable reserves creation to be effective. Before such approval can be obtained, the shareholders of Tyco must first have passed a special resolution authorizing the Tyco distributable reserves creation. Accordingly, Tyco is proposing as resolution 11 that Tyco shareholders approve the Tyco distributable reserves creation proposal at the Tyco EGM as a special resolution so

that the combined company will have additional flexibility to fund dividends, distributions and buy-backs following the merger.

Shareholder approval of the Tyco distributable reserves creation is not a guarantee that the merger will occur or that, if it occurs, Tyco will pay dividends or distributions or implement share buy-backs at any time. Even if each of the merger and the Tyco distributable reserves creation is consummated, the board of directors of the combined company may decide not to pay dividends or distributions or implement share buy-backs. In addition, although Tyco is not aware of any reason why the High Court of Ireland would not approve the Tyco distributable reserves creation, there is no guarantee that such approval will be forthcoming.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Vote Required and Tyco Board Recommendation

The affirmative vote of at least 75% of the votes cast, either in person or by proxy, at the Tyco EGM, is required to approve the Tyco distributable reserves creation proposal.

Consummation of the merger is not conditioned on approval of the Tyco distributable reserves creation proposal. Accordingly, you may vote not to approve the Tyco distributable reserves creation proposal and to approve the other proposals which are conditions to the consummation of the merger.

If Tyco and Johnson Controls do not consummate the merger, Tyco will not effect the distributable reserves creation by way of capital reduction contemplated by the Tyco distributable reserves creation proposal, notwithstanding that Tyco shareholders may have previously approved the Tyco distributable reserves creation proposal.

The Tyco board of directors unanimously recommends a vote " FOR " the Tyco distributable reserves creation proposal.

shares will be converted into the right to receive cash consideration and a portion of the share electing shares and non-electing shares of each Johnson Controls shareholder will be converted into the right to receive cash consideration, with the remaining shares of such Johnson Controls shareholder converted into the right to receive share consideration. If Johnson Controls shareholders elect to receive an aggregate of more than $3.864 billion of cash consideration, share electing shares and non-electing shares will be converted into the right to receive share consideration and a portion of the cash electing shares of each Johnson Controls shareholder will be converted into the right to receive cash consideration, with the remaining shares of such Johnson Controls shareholder converted into the right to receive share consideration. Accordingly, depending on the elections made by other Johnson Controls shareholders, each Johnson Controls shareholder who elects to receive share consideration for all of their shares of Johnson Controls common stock in the merger may receive a portion of their merger consideration in cash consideration and each Johnson Controls shareholder who elects to receive cash consideration for all of their shares of Johnson Controls common stock in the merger may receive a portion of their merger consideration in share consideration. A Johnson Controls shareholder who elects to receive a combination of cash consideration and share consideration for their shares of Johnson Controls common stock in the merger may receive cash consideration and share consideration in a proportion different from that which such shareholder elected. For further information, including hypothetical scenarios demonstrating the possible effects of proration on a holder of 1,000 shares of Johnson Controls common stock, see " The Merger Consideration to be Received by Johnson Controls Shareholders. "

No holder of Johnson Controls common stock will be issued fractional shares of the combined company in the merger. Each holder of Johnson Controls common stock converted pursuant to the merger, who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of an ordinary share of the combined company (after aggregating all shares represented by the certificates and book-entry shares delivered by such holder), will instead receive the Johnson Controls fractional share consideration as described in " The Merger AgreementNo Fractional Shares ."

The merger consideration will be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Johnson Controls common stock or Tyco ordinary shares, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the shares of Johnson Controls common stock or Tyco ordinary shares outstanding after the date of the merger agreement and prior to the effective time of the merger (in each case, other than the Tyco share consolidation).

Tyco shareholders will receive these shares by virtue the Tyco share consolidation.

No holder of Tyco ordinary shares will be issued fractional shares in the Tyco share consolidation.

During 2013, 2014 and 2015, Johnson Controls completed several significant initiatives to optimize its portfolio of businesses and execute on its strategy of becoming a leading multi-industrial company. Among other initiatives, Johnson Controls sold its automotive electronics business to Gentex Corporation and Visteon Corporation, acquired Air Distribution Technologies (a provider of air distribution and ventilation solutions), created an automotive interiors joint venture with Yanfeng Automotive Trim Systems, sold its Global Workplace Solutions business to Brookfield Asset Management and CBRE Group, Inc., and entered into an agreement to create a joint venture with certain Hitachi entities to expand its Building Efficiency business.

In the wake of these transactions, during the summer of 2015, Johnson Controls management and the Johnson Controls board of directors considered a number of possible strategic transactions involving Johnson Controls' Automotive Experience business, its Building Efficiency business and its Power Solutions business.

With respect to the Automotive Experience business, Johnson Controls explored a possible sale of the business, a joint venture transaction involving the business and a spin-off of the business. Following such process, the Johnson Controls board of directors determined to pursue a spin-off of the Automotive Experience business. On July 21 and 22, 2015, the Johnson Controls board of directors held an in-person meeting. Members of Johnson Controls management and representatives of Centerview Partners LLC (referred to as "Centerview"), financial advisor to Johnson Controls, and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz (referred to as "Wachtell Lipton"), outside counsel to Johnson Controls, among other advisors, also attended the meeting. At the meeting, Alex A. Molinaroli, the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Johnson Controls, discussed with the board the results of their exploration of different alternatives for Johnson Controls' Automotive Experience business, including a potential spin-off of the Automotive Experience business. Following discussion, the Johnson Controls board of directors authorized management to commence preparations for a potential spin-off of the Automotive Experience business and to issue a public announcement to that effect. On July 24, 2015, Johnson Controls issued a press release announcing this determination. If finally approved by the board, the spin-off would create an independent, publicly traded company that would operate the Automotive Experience business.

During the summer of 2015, Johnson Controls also explored strategic acquisitions for the remainder of its businesses, including its Building Efficiency business and its Power Solutions business. As part of this process, members of Johnson Controls management, with the assistance of its advisors including Centerview, Barclays Capital Inc. ("Barclays") and Wachtell Lipton, considered a potential business combination between Johnson Controls and a number of other companies or one or more of their business divisions, including Tyco. During this period, members of Johnson Controls management and its advisors also engaged in discussions with members of management of many of these companies and their advisors. However, none of these discussions resulted in any agreement, and discussions ceased by the end of September 2015.

Since completing the spin-off of Tyco Flow Control International Ltd., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of which immediately merged with Pentair, Inc., and The ADT Corporation in 2012, Tyco has pursued a strategy of streamlining its portfolio by selling non-strategic businesses and developing its core fire and security business. At the same time, Tyco has invested in technologies and regularly reviewed strategic opportunities to expand beyond traditional fire and security into more integrated building efficiency solutions.

As part of its ongoing review of strategic opportunities, the existing Special M&A Committee of the Tyco board of directors (referred to as the "Tyco M&A Committee") held meetings during the summer of 2015 with members of Tyco management. During these meetings, members of Tyco management noted developments in the competitive landscape, including recent portfolio moves announced by multi-industrial peers, and discussed the implications for Tyco of the potential

consolidation among companies in Tyco's industry. At these meetings, members of Tyco management also reviewed potential strategic transactions for Tyco, including a business combination or other transaction with Johnson Controls, and analyzed them on the basis of strategic fit, synergy potential and the probability of execution. After discussion of such matters at a telephonic meeting held on July 21, 2015, the Tyco M&A Committee instructed Tyco management to initiate exploratory discussions with certain parties, including Johnson Controls, regarding possible strategic transactions relating to the building efficiency business. Other than with respect to Johnson Controls, these discussions did not progress beyond initial exploratory discussions.

On October 7, 2015, George R. Oliver, Chief Executive Officer of Tyco, contacted Mr. Molinaroli by telephone to discuss the possibility of a potential strategic transaction involving Johnson Controls' Building Efficiency business and Tyco. Messrs. Molinaroli and Oliver discussed the potential overall strategic rationale of the transaction and the potential synergies that could be achieved. The two executives agreed to have their respective senior management teams and advisors engage in further discussion regarding a potential transaction.

On October 14, 2015, Greg Guyett, Johnson Controls' Executive Vice President, Corporate Development, met with Mark Armstrong, Tyco's Senior Vice President, Mergers & Acquisitions and Treasurer, to discuss the strategic rationale for a potential transaction, as well as the financial profile of a combined company in a potential business combination, including assumptions regarding potential synergies that could be achieved. Mr. Guyett and Mr. Armstrong also discussed the possible structure of any such transaction.

Mr. Guyett subsequently contacted Mr. Armstrong on October 19, 2015 and informed him that Johnson Controls was willing to proceed with discussions with Tyco only on the basis of a potential business combination in which Tyco shareholders would receive all or substantially all stock of the combined company in exchange for their Tyco ordinary shares. Given that the benefit of the combination of Johnson Controls and Tyco would in large part be the result of the synergies that could be achieved from the combination, and that the Tyco shareholders would share in these synergies through their significant ownership in the combined company, Johnson Controls was willing to continue discussions only on the basis of a modest market premium to the Tyco shareholders. Mr. Guyett further noted that Johnson Controls had already announced the planned spin-off of its Automotive Experience business, which was a separate and independent transaction from any potential combination with Tyco, and that Johnson Controls was willing to proceed with discussions only if the two transactions would not be conditioned on each other. To this end, Johnson Controls noted that, if it were to proceed with a transaction with Tyco, the spin-off of the Automotive Experience business would not be a condition to the completion of the merger between Johnson Controls and Tyco and, therefore, if the spin-off was finally approved, then the shareholders of both companies would receive shares in the Automotive Experience spin-off company. Mr. Armstrong responded that he understood Johnson Controls' position on these issues and that Tyco would respond at a later date whether it was willing to proceed on the basis outlined by Mr. Guyett.

On October 23, 2015, the Johnson Controls board of directors held a telephonic meeting. Members of Johnson Controls management also attended the meeting. At the meeting, members of Johnson Controls management discussed Johnson Controls' preparation for the potential spin-off of the Automotive Experience business. They also informed the board of their discussions with members of Tyco management and explained that Johnson Controls was waiting for Tyco's response to Johnson Controls' proposal outlined by Mr. Guyett on October 19, 2015. Members of Johnson Controls management and the Johnson Controls board then discussed the strategic rationale of a combination with Tyco, and the potential effects of a combination with Tyco on the spin-off of the Automotive Experience business. The Johnson Controls board instructed management to continue exploring a combination with Tyco.

On October 26, 2015, the Tyco M&A Committee held a telephonic meeting. Members of Tyco management also attended the meeting. At the meeting, Mr. Oliver reviewed Johnson Controls' business, including the announced spin-off of its Automotive Experience business, and updated the Tyco M&A Committee on his and Mr. Armstrong's recent discussions with Mr. Molinaroli and Mr. Guyett. After discussion, the Tyco M&A Committee authorized Tyco management to execute a confidentiality agreement with Johnson Controls and to continue their exploration of a possible business combination.

Following the Tyco M&A Committee meeting, Mr. Armstrong contacted Mr. Guyett to inform him that, subject to due diligence, Tyco was willing to proceed on the basis outlined by Mr. Guyett during their previous telephone conversation, but noted that the premium to the Tyco shareholders was subject to negotiation.

On October 28, 2015, Johnson Controls and Tyco entered into a mutual confidentiality agreement, which did not contain a standstill provision.

On October 29, 2015, Messrs. Molinaroli and Guyett met with Messrs. Oliver and Armstrong to discuss the strategic rationale for the potential business combination. During the discussions, Mr. Molinaroli indicated that Johnson Controls contemplated a transaction that would provide only a modest market premium to the Tyco shareholders, given the substantial synergies that both shareholders would realize through their ownership in the combined company. Mr. Oliver indicated that Tyco did not want to negotiate the premium at that time, and no exchange ratio was proposed or agreed. Over the next few days, members of Johnson Controls management and members of Tyco management held several follow-up telephonic meetings to discuss the transaction.

On November 3, 2015, members of Johnson Controls management, including Mr. Guyett, Brian J. Stief, Johnson Controls' Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, and representatives of Wachtell Lipton met with members of Tyco management, including Mr. Armstrong and Arun Nayar, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Tyco, and representatives of McDermott Will & Emery (referred to as "McDermott"), tax counsel to Tyco, among other advisors, to discuss, among other items, value creation opportunities of a potential business combination of Johnson Controls and Tyco, tax considerations related to the proposed transaction and potential synergies that could be achieved.

On November 6, 2015, the Johnson Controls board of directors held a telephonic meeting. Members of Johnson Controls management and representatives of Centerview and Wachtell Lipton also attended the meeting. At the meeting, members of Johnson Controls management updated the board on its discussion with Tyco. They also discussed the strategic rationale for the proposed transaction and potential synergies that could be achieved from the combination. After discussion, the Johnson Controls board authorized management to continue discussions with Tyco regarding the proposed business combination.

On November 9, 2015, the Tyco board of directors held a telephonic meeting. Members of Tyco management also attended the meeting. During the meeting, Mr. Oliver updated the board on the recent discussions between members of Tyco management and members of Johnson Controls management. Mr. Oliver discussed the strategic rationale for the proposed combination, described the effect of the proposed spin-off of Johnson Controls' Automotive Experience business on a potential business combination and reviewed potential synergies. After discussion, the Tyco board of directors authorized management to continue discussions with Johnson Controls regarding the proposed business combination.

On November 15, 2015, members of Johnson Controls management and members of Tyco management met to continue exploring a potential transaction and to engage in preliminary due diligence. They also provided presentations to each other on the businesses of Johnson Controls and

Tyco and discussed the potential synergies and value creation opportunities that could result from the combination.

Following the meeting, on November 16, 2015, Mr. Molinaroli and Mr. Oliver spoke and agreed that their respective executive teams should continue discussions on potential synergies, as well as to continue their due diligence. During those discussions, Mr. Oliver requested that Johnson Controls deliver a proposal to Tyco on key terms for the combination and indicated that Tyco's next regularly scheduled board meeting would occur on December 2, 2015.

On November 17 and 18, 2015, the Johnson Controls board of directors held an in-person meeting. Members of Johnson Controls management and representatives of Centerview and Wachtell Lipton also attended the meeting. At the meeting, members of Johnson Controls management updated the board on its discussions with Tyco. They also discussed the strategic rationale of the proposed transaction and updated the board on the progress of the spin-off of the Automotive Experience business.

Over the next week, members of Johnson Controls management and members of Tyco management held several telephonic meetings to discuss their respective businesses and organizational structures and to gain familiarity with each other's organizations. During that time, Mr. Molinaroli and Mr. Oliver spoke by telephone. Mr. Molinaroli updated Mr. Oliver on the meeting of the Johnson Controls board of directors, and the two of them discussed, among other things, the leadership and management of the combined company and the size and composition of the combined company's board.

On November 23 and 24, 2015, Mr. Guyett and representatives of Centerview met with Mr. Armstrong and representatives of Lazard, financial advisor to Tyco, to discuss certain aspects of the potential business combination transaction between Johnson Controls and Tyco and the status of the Automotive Experience spin-off. The parties discussed alternatives for the potential transaction structure and the resulting implications for value creation as well as the assumptions underlying potential synergies. During those discussions, they reviewed different methodologies for determining the exchange ratio. Johnson Controls presented written materials that included a range of premiums to the Tyco shareholders of between 10% and 15% based on the "spot" closing prices of Johnson Controls common stock and Tyco ordinary shares. Based on the trading prices of the shares as of November 23, 2015, the range of premiums would have resulted in an exchange ratio of between 0.85 to 0.88 of a Johnson Controls share for each Tyco share. No exchange ratio was proposed or agreed at that time.

Throughout the negotiations between Johnson Controls and Tyco described in this section of the joint proxy statement/prospectus, the parties discussed the transaction in terms of an exchange ratio of the number of shares of Johnson Controls common stock for each Tyco ordinary share. The parties ultimately agreed to a transaction structure, where each share of Johnson Controls common stock could elect to receive one ordinary share of the combined company and where the Tyco ordinary shares would be converted into a different number of shares of the combined company through a share consolidation. The exchange ratio being discussed between the parties is therefore equivalent to the Tyco share consolidation ratio.

On November 25, 2015, the Johnson Controls board of directors held a telephonic board meeting. Members of Johnson Controls management and representatives of Centerview and Wachtell Lipton also attended the meeting. At the meeting, members of Johnson Controls management updated the board on the status of discussions with Tyco and, along with representatives of Centerview, reviewed the potential strategic rationale for the combination of Johnson Controls and Tyco, as well as potential synergies from the combination. The Johnson Controls board then discussed management's proposed next steps, including negotiating the financial and governance aspects of the potential business combination. Following these discussions, the Johnson Controls board of directors authorized Johnson Controls management to continue to explore a potential business combination with Tyco.

On December 3, 2015, the Tyco board of directors held an in-person meeting in Ireland. Members of Tyco management and representatives of Lazard also attended the meeting, and representatives of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, outside counsel to Tyco ("Simpson Thacher"), joined telephonically. At the meeting, members of Tyco management reviewed, among other things, current trends and the competitive landscape of the building systems business and related industries. Members of Tyco management and representatives of Lazard then reviewed the current status of their discussions with Johnson Controls regarding a potential business combination. Representatives of Lazard reviewed with the Tyco board of directors the proposed transaction structures, including options for all stock and a mix of cash and stock transactions, and the implied premiums and governance for possible transaction structures. Representatives of Lazard also discussed valuation and financial analyses of the two companies and the potential synergies. Tyco management then discussed the initial results of their due diligence review of Johnson Controls and potential next steps. After discussion, the Tyco board of directors authorized Tyco management, together with Edward D. Breen, Chairman of Tyco, to continue to explore a potential business combination with Johnson Controls.

On December 4, 2015, Mr. Molinaroli and Mr. Oliver spoke by telephone, and Mr. Oliver informed Mr. Molinaroli that the Tyco board authorized him to continue discussions with Johnson Controls on the potential business combination and that the Tyco board preferred a combination that would have shared governance between Tyco and Johnson Controls.

On December 8, 2015, Mr. Guyett and representatives of Centerview met with Mr. Armstrong and representatives of Lazard to discuss key terms of the proposed combination. Among other items, Lazard presented Tyco's view of potential synergies and the value creation opportunities from the combination for both companies if the exchange ratio were set to provide the Tyco shareholders with a premium of 20% based on the volume weighted average price of a share of Johnson Controls common stock and a Tyco ordinary share for the 30 trading days ending prior to the date of the merger agreement. Based on the trading prices of the shares as of December 7, 2015, such a premium would result in an exchange ratio of 0.96 of a Johnson Controls share for each Tyco share. Following discussions between Mr. Guyett and representatives of Centerview and Mr. Armstrong and representatives of Lazard, Mr. Armstrong indicated that Tyco would be willing to continue discussion with Johnson Controls based on the understanding that there would be shared leadership and management of the combined company. Additionally, the parties agreed to recommend to their respective boards of directors and Chief Executive Officers a narrowed range of expected premiums to the Tyco shareholders of 15% to 17.5% using the volume weighted average price of a share of Johnson Controls common stock and a Tyco ordinary share for the 30 trading days ending prior to the date of the merger agreement. Based on the volume weighted average price of a share of Johnson Controls common stock and a Tyco ordinary share for the 30 trading days ending December 7, 2015, such a premium would result in an exchange ratio of 0.92 to 0.94 of a Johnson Controls share for each Tyco share. The parties further discussed that this exchange ratio assumed that each share of Johnson Controls common stock would be equal to one share of the combined company, but that the parties desired for Johnson Controls shareholders to receive cash in lieu of a portion of its share of the combined company and, therefore, the parties would need to agree on the amount of cash that each Johnson Controls share could receive and the total cap on the cash that would be paid by Tyco to the Johnson Controls shareholders.

On December 9, 2015, Jeffrey A. Joerres, Lead Director of Johnson Controls, and Mr. Breen discussed certain key terms of a potential transaction, including the leadership and management of the combined company and the size and composition of the combined company's board.

On December 10, 2015, the Johnson Controls board of directors held a telephonic board meeting. Members of Johnson Controls management and representatives of Centerview and Wachtell Lipton also attended the meeting. At the meeting, members of Johnson Controls management and its advisors updated the board on the status of discussions with Tyco and its advisors, including Tyco's proposed

methodology for calculating the exchange ratio. They also discussed the parties' respective calculation of potential synergies and other value creation opportunities from the combination. Johnson Controls management then discussed with the board other terms of the proposed transaction, including transaction structure, leadership of the combined company, the size and composition of the board of directors and the name and headquarters of the combined company. After this discussion, the Johnson Controls board authorized Johnson Controls management to continue discussions and negotiations with Tyco.

On December 11, 2015 Mr. Guyett contacted Mr. Armstrong to update him on the feedback received from the Johnson Controls board of directors. Later that day, Messrs. Molinaroli and Guyett held a telephone call with Messrs. Oliver and Armstrong to discuss certain key terms of the potential business combination. Among other items, Messrs. Molinaroli and Guyett proposed that the parties proceed on the basis of an exchange ratio of between 0.92 and 0.93 of a Johnson Controls share for each Tyco share, which was at the lower end of the range of exchange ratios previously discussed on December 8, 2015. Based on the volume weighted average price of a share of Johnson Controls common stock and a Tyco ordinary share for the 30 trading days ended December 9, 2015, this range of exchange ratios represented a premium to the Tyco shareholders of approximately 15% to 16%. Johnson Controls' proposal on the exchange ratio was also based on the assumption that each share of Johnson Controls common stock would be equal to one share of the combined company. However, the exchange ratio would be adjusted to reflect that Johnson Controls shareholders would have a right to elect to receive cash in lieu of shares of the combined company, and that the cash and stock elections would be prorated to ensure that a fixed amount of cash would be paid by Tyco to the Johnson Controls shareholders. Johnson Controls further proposed that the combined company would be named "Johnson Controls" and would retain Tyco's global headquarters in Ireland but maintain its U.S. operational headquarters in Milwaukee.

On December 11, 2015, representatives of Johnson Controls, Tyco, Centerview, Lazard, Wachtell Lipton and Simpson Thacher also held a telephone call to discuss the overall timeline for the proposed transaction, including due diligence, negotiation of definitive documentation, engaging with Tyco's financing sources and communications planning, as well as the proposed time to announce any transaction.

On December 12, 2015, Mr. Joerres and Mr. Breen spoke by telephone and discussed the terms of the potential transaction, the leadership and management of the combined company, including the scope of the roles of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, and the size and composition of the combined company's board.

On December 14, 2015, members of Johnson Controls management, members of Tyco management, and representatives of Centerview and Lazard discussed the framework and timing for due diligence review and agreed to schedule due diligence meetings to evaluate various aspects of each other's businesses. Over the next week, they held several telephonic meetings to discuss due diligence matters with respect to each party's business and operations, as well as to discuss potential synergies that could be achieved from the combination.

On December 16, 2015, Wachtell Lipton, on behalf of Johnson Controls, sent to Simpson Thacher, on behalf of Tyco, a draft merger agreement and an accompanying term sheet summarizing its key terms. The draft agreement provided that the combination of Johnson Controls and Tyco would be structured as a "reverse merger," in which Tyco would be the parent entity of the combined company and Johnson Controls would be merged with a wholly owned subsidiary of Tyco. In the merger, each outstanding share of Johnson Controls common stock would be converted into the right to receive, at the election of such holder, either one share of the combined company or a fixed amount of cash, subject to proration so that the aggregate amount of cash paid by Tyco to the Johnson Controls shareholders would be fixed. The draft merger agreement also contemplated that, immediately prior to

the merger, Tyco would effect a share consolidation that would reflect the exchange ratio to be agreed between the parties. The draft agreement further provided for reciprocal termination fees of $250 million in the event that one party's board of directors changed its recommendation and for Tyco to pay a higher termination fee in certain circumstances if it was unable to secure debt financing for the cash portion to be paid to the Johnson Controls shareholders in the merger.

On December 18, 2015, the Tyco M&A Committee held an in-person meeting. Members of Tyco management and representatives of Lazard and Simpson Thacher also attended. At the meeting, members of Tyco management and representatives of Simpson Thacher discussed the results to date of their legal due diligence review. Mr. Armstrong and representatives of Lazard then reported on recent discussions with Johnson Controls management and reviewed the current proposals from Tyco and Johnson Controls relating to, among other matters, the exchange ratio, the leadership of the combined company, the size and composition of the board of directors and the name and headquarters of the combined company, noting that the midpoint of the range of exchange ratios had increased since the time of Tyco's December board meeting. Representatives of Lazard then discussed the financing that would be required to pay the cash consideration in the proposed transaction structure, and Mr. Armstrong reported management's conclusion that Tyco could obtain financing and maintain its investment grade status. Mr. Breen updated the Tyco M&A Committee on the status of discussions with respect to the leadership and management of the combined company, including his December 12, 2015 telephone discussion with Mr. Joerres. After discussion both with the members of Tyco management and in executive session, the Tyco M&A Committee determined that discussions and diligence with respect to the proposed transaction should continue.

On December 19, 2015, Mr. Oliver contacted Mr. Molinaroli to discuss the feedback provided by the Tyco M&A Committee on the terms of the potential business combination. That same day, representatives of Lazard delivered Tyco's revised proposal on the exchange ratio to Mr. Guyett. Tyco proposed an exchange ratio of 0.94 of a Johnson Controls share for each Tyco share. Based on the volume weighted average price of a share of Johnson Controls common stock and a Tyco ordinary share for the 30 trading days ending on December 18, 2015, this exchange ratio reflected a premium of approximately 17% to the Tyco shareholders. Mr. Breen also contacted Mr. Joerres and informed him that Tyco proposed that Mr. Molinaroli would be the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the combined company for 12 months after closing, during which time Mr. Oliver would be President and Chief Operating Officer, and Mr. Oliver would then succeed Mr. Molinaroli as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Tyco's proposal also noted that the combined company would be named "Johnson Controls," would retain Tyco's global headquarters in Ireland but maintain its U.S. operational headquarters in Milwaukee and that the combined company's board of directors would be comprised of six directors from Johnson Controls and five directors from Tyco.

On December 19, 2015, the Johnson Controls board of directors held a telephonic meeting. Members of Johnson Controls management and representatives of Centerview and Wachtell Lipton also attended the meeting. At the meeting, members of Johnson Controls management informed the board of Tyco's revised proposal. After discussion, the Johnson Controls board discussed with management and its advisors different exchange ratios. They also discussed the leadership positions of the combined company and requested that Johnson Controls propose that, following the 24 months after closing during which Mr. Molinaroli would be the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the combined company, Mr. Molinaroli serve as Executive Chairman of the combined company for an additional 12 months.

Following the Johnson Controls board meeting, on December 20, 2015, Mr. Joerres contacted Mr. Breen to communicate Johnson Controls' revised proposal on the leadership of the combined company. Mr. Joerres and Mr. Breen also arranged to meet in person.

On December 22, 2015, Mr. Joerres and Mr. Breen met to discuss management and leadership succession matters for the combined company and to arrange introductory meetings between Mr. Molinaroli and members of the Tyco board of directors and between Mr. Oliver and members of the Johnson Controls board of directors. That same day, Mr. Molinaroli and Mr. Oliver spoke by telephone to discuss, among other matters, management and leadership succession matters for the combined company.

On December 23, 2015, Johnson Controls and Tyco each opened up an electronic data room and provided access to the other party and its advisors to continue due diligence.

On December 28, 2015, Simpson Thacher, on behalf of Tyco, sent to Wachtell Lipton, on behalf of Johnson Controls, a summary of Tyco's response to the draft merger agreement. The summary included a proposal on termination rights and termination fees, and that the parties' boards of directors would be prohibited from changing their recommendation in response to certain types of "intervening events." The summary noted that Tyco also rejected any requirement to make a payment for any financing failure.

During the week of December 28, 2015, representatives of Johnson Controls, Tyco and their financial and legal advisors continued to have telephonic due diligence calls and to upload additional materials to the parties' respective electronic data rooms. In addition, on December 30, 2015, members of Johnson Controls management and representatives of Centerview met with members of Tyco management and representatives of Lazard to discuss, among other items, synergy assumptions, the parties' projected results of operations, the financial profile of the combined company, the amount and terms of the debt financing proposed to be raised by Tyco and tax matters. The parties also discussed the liquidity requirements of each company on a standalone and combined basis.

On December 30, 2015, Mr. Molinaroli met with certain members of the Tyco board of directors as part of the Tyco board of directors' due diligence investigation of him.

On December 31, 2015, Mr. Oliver met with certain members of the Johnson Controls board of directors as part of the Johnson Controls board of directors' due diligence investigation of him.

On January 3 and 4, 2016, Mr. Joerres and Mr. Breen spoke by telephone. During their conversations, Mr. Joerres proposed, on behalf of Johnson Controls, an exchange ratio of 0.935 of a Johnson Controls share for each Tyco share. Based on the volume weighted average price of a share of Johnson Controls common stock and a Tyco ordinary share for the 30 trading days ending on December 31, 2015, this exchange ratio reflected a premium of approximately 18% to the Tyco shareholders. They also discussed management and leadership succession matters for the combined company, including Johnson Controls' view that Mr. Molinaroli should serve as Chief Executive Officer for two years after the closing and Tyco's view that Mr. Oliver should succeed Mr. Molinaroli as Chief Executive Officer earlier than two years after the closing.

On January 4, 2016, the Johnson Controls board of directors held a telephonic meeting. Members of Johnson Controls management and representatives of Centerview and Wachtell Lipton also attended the meeting. At the meeting, members of Johnson Controls management updated the board on the status of discussions with Tyco, including areas of agreement and disagreement between the parties and a proposed timeline for the transaction. Mr. Molinaroli summarized for the Johnson Controls board his meeting with Mr. Breen and members of the Tyco board of directors and Mr. Oliver's meeting with members of the Johnson Controls board of directors. Mr. Joerres then updated the Johnson Controls board on his conversations with Mr. Breen, including the proposal that he delivered regarding the exchange ratio and management and leadership succession of the combined company. Following this update, the Johnson Controls board discussed in detail the potential options to move forward with the transaction.

On January 6, 2016, the Tyco M&A Committee held a telephonic meeting. Certain other members of the Tyco board of directors, members of Tyco management and representatives of Simpson Thacher and Lazard also attended the meeting. Mr. Oliver provided an update on recent discussions with Johnson Controls management. The Tyco M&A Committee, with the support of the other directors participating in the meeting, agreed that Mr. Breen should continue to engage with Mr. Joerres with respect to the exchange ratio and leadership succession of the combined company. Following the January 6, 2016 meeting of the Tyco M&A Committee, Mr. Breen telephoned Mr. Joerres to convey Tyco's position with respect to leadership of the combined company, including that Mr. Molinaroli would be the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the combined company for 15 months after closing, during which time Mr. Oliver would be President and Chief Operating Officer, that Mr. Oliver would then succeed Mr. Molinaroli as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and that the combined company's board of directors would be comprised of six directors from Johnson Controls and five directors from Tyco.

On January 7, 2016, members of Johnson Controls management, members of Tyco management and their respective legal and financial advisors met to discuss the proposed transaction structure and financing for the transaction. During that meeting, members of Tyco management reviewed Tyco's revised proposal on certain transaction terms, including that it was proposing an exchange ratio of 0.945 of a Johnson Controls share for each Tyco share. Tyco noted that it was proposing an increase in the exchange ratio to reflect that the price of Johnson Controls common stock had declined relative to the price of Tyco ordinary shares since their last discussion of the exchange ratio. Based on the volume weighted average price of a share of Johnson Controls common stock and a Tyco ordinary share for the 30 trading days ended January 6, 2016, the exchange ratio represented an approximately 19% premium to the Tyco shareholders. As previously discussed between the parties, this exchange ratio assumed that each share of Johnson Controls common stock would be equal to one share of the combined company, but the parties desired for Johnson Controls shareholders to receive cash in lieu of a portion of its share of the combined company and, therefore, the parties would need to agree on the amount of cash that each Johnson Controls share could receive and the total cap on the cash that would be paid by Tyco to the Johnson Controls shareholders. Tyco proposed that approximately $3.9 billion in cash would be paid to the Johnson Controls shareholders in the aggregate in the merger and that the exchange ratio would therefore be adjusted to reflect this cash. The Tyco proposal also set forth its proposal on a leadership succession plan for the combined company and a proposal on termination rights, the right of the board to change its recommendation for certain "intervening events" and termination fees.

Following this meeting, on January 7, 2016, Mr. Joerres and Mr. Breen discussed the leadership succession plan for the combined company and agreed to continue discussions on the basis that Mr. Molinaroli would be Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the combined company for 18 months following the closing, during which time Mr. Oliver would be President and Chief Operating Officer, with Mr. Oliver then succeeding Mr. Molinaroli as Chief Executive Officer after that time and Mr. Molinaroli serving as Chairman for an additional 12 months.

On January 8, 2016, a financial advisor to one of the companies with which Johnson Controls had explored a possible strategic transaction in the summer of 2015 contacted a representative of Centerview as a follow-up to a meeting held by such advisors regarding reasons for the termination of the earlier discussions. The financial advisor shared certain terms that would likely be important if the companies were to resume discussions. Johnson Controls subsequently determined that a transaction on these terms was less likely to be completed than the proposed business combination with Tyco and would likely adversely affect the ongoing work on the spin-off of the Automotive Experience business. As a result, the parties did not recommence discussions regarding the potential business combination.

Also on January 8, 2016, members of Johnson Controls management, including Mr. Guyett and Mr. Stief, members of Tyco management, including Mr. Robert Olson, Tyco's Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and Mr. Armstrong, and representatives of Centerview and Lazard met to

discuss the assumptions underlying potential operating synergies from the combination, including headquarters consolidation, possible branch optimization, purchasing savings, shared services and other general and administrative cost savings.

That same day, representatives of Wachtell Lipton and Simpson Thacher discussed certain open items in the draft merger agreement, including termination rights and rights for the board to change their recommendation, termination fees, provisions for the leadership succession plan for the combined company, and matters related to the separation of Johnson Controls' Automotive Experience business.

On January 12, 2016, representatives of Centerview, Lazard, Wachtell Lipton and Simpson Thacher had a telephonic meeting to discuss certain open items in the draft merger agreement, including termination rights and rights for the board to change their recommendation, termination fees, provisions for the leadership succession plan for the combined company, and matters related to the separation of Johnson Controls' Automotive Experience business. They also discussed whether Johnson Controls shareholders would be able to make an election or instead receive a fixed amount of cash and shares and, if such an election was to be permitted, the price of Johnson Controls common stock that would be used to calculate the cash consideration that a Johnson Controls shareholder would receive if such shareholder made a cash election, and the aggregate cap on such cash and shares elections.

On January 13, 2016, members of Johnson Controls management, members of Tyco management and their respective financial and legal advisors met to discuss certain open items in the draft merger agreement, including the details of the leadership and succession plan, termination fees, termination rights for each party and the right of the board to change its recommendation for the merger and matters related to Johnson Controls' planned separation of the Automotive Experience business. The parties also agreed to continue discussions on the basis that Mr. Molinaroli would serve as Executive Chairman during the 12-month period after Mr. Oliver became Chief Executive Officer of the combined company. Following the meeting, Simpson Thacher, on behalf of Tyco, sent Wachtell Lipton, on behalf of Johnson Controls, written proposals on termination fees, termination rights for each party and the right of the board to change its recommendation for the merger and matters related to Johnson Controls' planned separation of the Automotive Experience business.

On January 14, 2016, the Tyco M&A Committee held a telephonic meeting. Certain other members of the Tyco board of directors, members of Tyco management and representatives of Simpson Thacher and Lazard also attended the meeting. At the meeting, members of Tyco management and the Tyco directors discussed Johnson Controls' proposal with respect to leadership succession of the combined company. Tyco management then reviewed the relative stock price performance of Johnson Controls and Tyco, noting that Johnson Controls' stock price had declined relative to the price of Tyco's ordinary shares, and the Tyco M&A Committee supported the position that the exchange ratio should be increased in response to the change in the stock prices. The Tyco M&A Committee, Tyco management and representatives of Simpson Thacher then discussed the current status of negotiations over certain terms in the draft merger agreement, including provisions relating to termination fees, termination rights for each party and the right of the board of each company to change its recommendation for the merger.

Also on January 14, 2016, the Johnson Controls board of directors held a telephonic meeting. Members of Johnson Controls management and representatives of Centerview and Wachtell Lipton also attended the meeting. At the meeting, Johnson Controls management and its advisors provided an update on the status of discussions with Tyco, including the open issues on exchange ratio, the leadership succession plan for the combined company, termination fees, termination rights for each party and the right of the board to change its recommendation for the merger and matters related to the separation of Johnson Controls' Automotive Experience business. The Johnson Controls board also

reviewed the changes in Johnson Controls' and Tyco's share prices since the December 10, 2015 board meeting and the impact of such changes on the premium to the Tyco shareholders using different exchange ratios. In particular, members of Johnson Controls management and representatives of Centerview noted that, given the change in the stock prices of Johnson Controls common stock and Tyco ordinary shares, the exchange ratios that had been previously discussed between the parties would result in a much smaller premium to the Tyco shareholders. They informed the Johnson Controls board that, as a result, Tyco and its financial advisors had noted that Tyco would require an increase in the exchange ratio.

Following the Johnson Controls board meeting, Wachtell Lipton, on behalf of Johnson Controls, sent to Simpson Thacher, on behalf of Tyco, a revised proposal on the termination rights and fees.

On January 15, 2016, Mr. Molinaroli and Mr. Oliver spoke by telephone to update each other on the feedback that each executive had received from the board of directors of their respective companies, the recent change in the stock prices of Johnson Controls common stock and Tyco ordinary shares and certain outstanding items in the draft merger agreement. That same day, Simpson Thacher, on behalf of Tyco, sent a revised draft of the merger agreement to Wachtell Lipton, on behalf of Johnson Controls.

On January 17, 2016, Mr. Guyett, Mr. Armstrong and representatives of Centerview and Lazard held a telephone meeting to discuss certain outstanding items in the draft merger agreement. During those discussions, Mr. Armstrong and Lazard noted that, given that the price of Johnson Controls common stock had declined relative to the price of Tyco ordinary shares, the exchange ratio that had been previously discussed between the parties would result in a smaller premium to the Tyco shareholders. They therefore requested an increase in the exchange ratio to 0.98 to 0.99 of a Johnson Controls share for each Tyco share. Based on the volume weighted average price of a share of Johnson Controls common stock and a Tyco ordinary share for the 30 trading days ending on January 15, 2016, this exchange ratio reflected a premium of approximately 20% to 22% to the Tyco shareholders. Tyco also proposed that the cash consideration that a Johnson Controls shareholder would receive from Tyco if such shareholder made a cash election would be calculated using the volume weighted average price of a share of Johnson Controls common stock for the 5 trading days prior to the signing of the merger agreement.

On January 18, 2016, following discussions with members of Johnson Controls management, representatives of Centerview contacted representatives of Lazard to discuss the potential synergies that could be achieved from the proposed business combination. The next day, on January 19, 2016, members of Johnson Controls management, members of Tyco management and their respective advisors held meetings and continued to discuss the potential synergies that could be achieved.

On January 19, 2016, the Tyco M&A Committee held a telephonic meeting. Members of Tyco management and representatives of Lazard and Simpson Thacher also attended the meeting. At the meeting, Mr. Oliver advised that representatives of Lazard had communicated Tyco's proposal to increase the exchange ratio to representatives of Centerview. Tyco management then reviewed the current status of negotiations with respect to certain open issues in the draft merger agreement, including with respect to leadership succession and provisions relating to termination fees, termination rights for each party and the right of the board of each company to change its recommendation for the merger. After discussion of the proposed transaction premium, exchange ratio and the synergies analysis, among other matters, the Tyco M&A Committee determined that Tyco management and Mr. Breen should continue discussions with Johnson Controls.

On January 19, 2016, Mr. Joerres and Mr. Breen spoke by telephone to discuss the status of the negotiations between the parties. That same day, Wachtell Lipton, on behalf of Johnson Controls, sent to Simpson Thacher, on behalf of Tyco, a revised draft of the merger agreement.

On January 20, 2016, members of Johnson Controls management, including Mr. Guyett, members of Tyco management, including Mr. Armstrong, and representatives of Centerview and Lazard had a discussion to resolve certain outstanding items in the draft merger agreement. After discussion and negotiation, members of Johnson Controls management and members of Tyco management agreed to continue discussion on the basis of an exchange ratio of 0.955 of a share of the combined company for each Tyco share. Assuming Tyco effected a share consolidation so that each share of the combined company had a value equal to one share of Johnson Controls common stock and based on the volume weighted average price of a share of Johnson Controls common stock and a Tyco ordinary share for the 30 trading days ending on January 19, 2016, this exchange ratio represented a premium of approximately 14% to the Tyco shareholders. The parties also discussed the cash/share election and proration mechanics that would exist for the Johnson Controls shareholders, which would permit Johnson Controls shareholders to receive, at their option and in lieu of one share of the combined company for each of their shares of Johnson Controls common stock, a fixed amount of cash. The parties agreed to proceed on the basis that this fixed amount of cash would be equal to the five-day volume weighted average price of a Johnson Controls common share prior to the signing of the merger agreement. The parties also agreed that the cash and share elections would be subject to proration to ensure that approximately $3.864 billion would be paid to the Johnson Controls shareholders in the aggregate. The parties further discussed the termination fees that could be payable by each party and agreed to proceed on the basis that each party would be obligated to pay a termination fee of $375 million if such party's board of directors changed its recommendation in response to a competing acquisition proposal or for certain types of intervening events and the merger agreement were terminated, and would be obligated to pay a termination fee of $500 million if such party terminated the merger agreement or its board of directors changed its recommendation in response to certain types of intervening events related to a change or proposed change in law.

On January 20, 21 and 22, 2016, Wachtell Lipton, on behalf of Johnson Controls, and Simpson Thacher, on behalf of Tyco, exchanged drafts of the merger agreement and other related documents.

Representatives of Centerview and Barclays then reviewed their preliminary financial analyses of the proposed merger, and representatives of Wachtell Lipton reviewed the terms of the draft merger agreement and the primary open issues in the agreement. Following discussion, the Johnson Controls board authorized Johnson Controls management to continue working toward finalizing the draft merger agreement. At the meeting, Johnson Controls management also provided an update on the progress of the preparation for the spin-off of the Automotive Experience business.

Centerview also participated in discussions with members of the senior management and representatives of Johnson Controls and Tyco regarding their assessment of the Johnson Controls internal data, the Tyco internal data and the synergies, as appropriate, and the strategic rationale for the proposed transaction. In addition, Centerview reviewed publicly available financial and share market data, including valuation multiples, for Johnson Controls and Tyco and compared that data with similar data for certain other companies, the securities of which are publicly traded, in lines of business that Centerview deemed relevant. Centerview also compared certain of the proposed financial terms of the proposed transaction with the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of certain other transactions that Centerview deemed relevant, and conducted such other financial studies and analyses and took into account such other information as Centerview deemed appropriate.

Centerview assumed, without independent verification or any responsibility therefor, the accuracy and completeness of the financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other information supplied to, discussed with, or reviewed by Centerview for purposes of its opinion and, with Johnson Controls' consent, Centerview relied upon such information as being complete and accurate.

Centerview's opinion expressed no view as to, and did not address, Johnson Controls' underlying business decision to proceed with or effect the proposed transaction, or the relative merits of the proposed transaction as compared to any alternative business strategies or transactions that might be available to Johnson Controls or in which Johnson Controls might engage. Centerview's opinion was limited to and addressed only the fairness, from a financial point of view, as of the date of Centerview's written opinion, to the holders of Johnson Controls common stock (other than excluded shares) of the aggregate merger consideration to be paid to such holders pursuant to the merger agreement. For purposes of its opinion, Centerview was not asked to, and Centerview did not, express any view on, and its opinion did not address, any other term or aspect of the merger agreement or the proposed transaction, including, without limitation, the structure or form of the proposed transaction, or any other agreements or arrangements contemplated by the merger agreement or entered into in connection with or otherwise contemplated by the proposed transaction, including, without limitation, (i) the fairness of the proposed transaction or any other term or aspect of the proposed transaction to, or any consideration to be received in connection therewith by, or the impact of the proposed transaction on, the holders of any other class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of Johnson Controls or any other party, (ii) the allocation of the aggregate merger consideration as among holders of Johnson Controls common stock who receive the cash consideration or the share consideration or (iii) the relative fairness of the cash consideration and the share consideration. In addition, Centerview expressed no view or opinion as to the fairness (financial or otherwise) of the amount, nature or any other aspect of any compensation to be paid or payable to any of the officers, directors or employees of Johnson Controls, Tyco or any party, or class of such persons in connection with the proposed transaction, whether relative to the aggregate merger consideration to be paid to the holders of Johnson Controls common stock (other than excluded shares) pursuant to the merger agreement or otherwise.

Centerview's opinion was necessarily based on financial, economic, monetary, currency, market, regulatory and other conditions and circumstances as in effect on, and the information made available to Centerview as of, the date of Centerview's written opinion, and Centerview does not have any obligation or responsibility to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion based on circumstances, developments or events occurring after the date of Centerview's written opinion.

Centerview's opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder of Johnson Controls or any other person as to how such shareholder or other person should vote with respect to the merger or otherwise act with respect to the proposed transaction or any other matter, including, without limitation, whether such shareholder should elect to receive the cash consideration or the share consideration, or make no election, in the proposed transaction. Centerview's financial advisory services and its written opinion were provided for the information and assistance of the board of directors of Johnson Controls (in their capacity as directors and not in any other capacity) in connection with and for purposes of its consideration of the proposed transaction. The issuance of Centerview's opinion was approved by the Centerview Partners LLC Fairness Opinion Committee.

The preparation of a financial opinion is a complex analytical process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, a financial opinion is not readily susceptible to summary description. In arriving at its opinion, Centerview did not draw, in isolation, conclusions from or with regard to any factor or analysis that it considered. Rather, Centerview made its determination as to fairness on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all of the analyses.

Centerview's financial analyses and opinion were only one of many factors taken into consideration by the board of directors of Johnson Controls in its evaluation of the proposed transaction. Consequently, the analyses described below should not be viewed as determinative of the views of the board of directors or management of Johnson Controls with respect to the aggregate merger consideration or as to whether the board of directors of Johnson Controls would have been willing to determine that a different consideration was fair. The aggregate merger consideration for the proposed transaction was determined through arm's-length negotiations between Johnson Controls and Tyco and was approved by the board of directors of Johnson Controls. Centerview provided advice to Johnson Controls during these negotiations. Centerview did not, however, recommend any specific amount of consideration to Johnson Controls or the board of directors of Johnson Controls nor did Centerview advise Johnson Controls or the board of directors of Johnson Controls that any specific amount of consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the proposed transaction.

Centerview has received approximately $5 million in compensation for such services.

In addition, Johnson Controls has agreed to reimburse certain of Centerview's expenses arising, and to indemnify Centerview against certain liabilities that may arise, as a result of Centerview's engagement.

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion.

Barclays' opinion, the issuance of which was approved by Barclays' Valuation and Fairness Opinion Committee, is addressed to the board of directors of Johnson Controls, addresses only the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the aggregate merger consideration to be offered to the holders of Johnson Controls common stock (other than excluded shares) and did not address any other term or aspect of the merger agreement or the proposed transaction.

Barclays' opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder of Johnson Controls as to how such shareholder should vote with respect to the proposed transaction or any other matter, including, without limitation, whether such shareholder should elect to receive the cash consideration or the share consideration, or make no election, in the proposed transaction. The terms of the proposed transaction were determined through arm's-length negotiations between Johnson Controls and Tyco and were unanimously approved by the board of directors of Johnson Controls. Barclays did not recommend any specific form of consideration to Johnson Controls or that any specific form of consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the proposed transaction. Barclays was not requested to address, and its opinion does not in any manner address, Johnson Controls' underlying business decision to proceed with or effect the proposed transaction. In addition, Barclays expressed no opinion on, and its opinion does not in any manner address, (i) the fairness of the amount or the nature of any compensation to any officers, directors or employees of any parties to the proposed transaction, or any class of such persons, relative to the aggregate merger consideration to be offered to the holders of Johnson Controls common stock in the proposed transaction or otherwise; (ii) the allocation of the aggregate merger consideration as among holders of Johnson Controls common stock who receive the cash consideration or the share consideration; or (iii) the relative fairness of the cash consideration and the share consideration.

In arriving at its opinion, Barclays assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information used by Barclays without any independent verification of such information (and Barclays has not assumed responsibility or liability for any independent verification of such information). Barclays also relied upon the assurances of management of Johnson Controls that they were not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make such information inaccurate or misleading. Upon the advice and at the direction of Johnson Controls, Barclays assumed that the Johnson Controls internal forecasts were reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Johnson Controls as to the financial performance of Johnson Controls and that Johnson Controls will perform substantially in accordance with such projections. With respect to the Tyco internal forecasts, upon the advice and at the direction of Johnson Controls, Barclays assumed that such projections were reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Tyco as to the financial performance of Tyco and that Tyco will perform substantially in accordance with such projections. With respect to the synergies, upon the advice and at the direction of Johnson Controls, Barclays assumed that the synergies were reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the managements of Johnson Controls and Tyco, including as to the amount and timing of realization. Barclays relied, at the direction of Johnson Controls, on the Johnson Controls internal forecasts, the Tyco internal forecasts and the synergies and Barclays assumed no responsibility for and expressed no view as to the estimates or the assumptions on which they were based. In arriving at its opinion, Barclays did not conduct a physical inspection of the properties and facilities of Johnson Controls or those of Tyco and did not make or obtain any evaluations or appraisals of the assets or liabilities of Johnson Controls or those of Tyco. Barclays' opinion was necessarily based upon market, economic, regulatory and other conditions as they existed on, and could be evaluated as of, January 24, 2016. Barclays assumed no responsibility for updating or revising its opinion based on events or circumstances that may have occurred after January 24, 2016. In addition, Barclays expressed no opinion as to the prices at which (i) Johnson Controls common stock or Tyco ordinary shares would trade at any time following the announcement of the proposed transaction or (ii) ordinary shares of the combined company will trade at any time following the consummation of the proposed transaction. Barclays' opinion should not be viewed as providing any assurance that the market value of Tyco

Table of Contents

ordinary shares to be held by the shareholders of Johnson Controls after the consummation of the proposed transaction will be in excess of the market value of the shares of Johnson Controls common stock owned by such shareholders at any time prior to the announcement or consummation of the proposed transaction.

Barclays assumed that the executed merger agreement will conform in all material respects to the last draft reviewed by Barclays. In addition, Barclays assumed the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement. Barclays also assumed, upon the advice of Johnson Controls, that all governmental, regulatory and third party approvals, consents and releases for the proposed transaction, that in each case were material to Barclays analyses and its opinion, will be obtained within the constraints contemplated by the merger agreement and that the proposed transaction will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement without waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement thereof or change in any applicable law. Barclays did not express any opinion as to any tax or other consequences that might result from the proposed transaction, nor did its opinion address any legal, tax, regulatory or accounting matters, as to which Barclays understood that Johnson Controls had obtained such advice as it deemed necessary from qualified professionals.

In connection with rendering its opinion, Barclays performed certain financial, comparative and other analyses as summarized below. In arriving at its opinion, Barclays did not ascribe a specific range of values to the shares of Johnson Controls common stock or Tyco ordinary shares but rather made its determination as to fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Johnson Controls common stock (other than excluded shares) of the aggregate merger consideration to be offered to such holders in the proposed transaction on the basis of various financial and comparative analyses. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and involves various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial and comparative analyses and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. Therefore, a fairness opinion is not readily susceptible to summary description.

In arriving at its opinion, Barclays did not attribute any particular weight to any single analysis or factor considered by it but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor relative to all other analyses and factors performed and considered by it and in the context of the circumstances of the particular transaction. Accordingly, Barclays believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole, as considering any portion of such analyses and factors, without considering all analyses and factors as a whole, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying its opinion.

Barclays is an internationally recognized investment banking firm and, as part of its investment banking activities, is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, investments for passive and control purposes, negotiated underwritings, competitive bids, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes. The board of directors of Johnson Controls selected Barclays because of its familiarity with Johnson Controls and its qualifications, reputation and experience in the valuation of businesses and securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions generally, as well as substantial experience in transactions comparable to the proposed transaction.

Barclays is acting as financial advisor to Johnson Controls in connection with the proposed transaction. As compensation for its services in connection with the proposed transaction, Johnson Controls paid Barclays $4.0 million upon the delivery of Barclays' opinion. Additional compensation of $4.0 million will be payable on completion of the proposed transaction. In addition, Johnson Controls has agreed to reimburse Barclays for a portion of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the proposed transaction and to indemnify Barclays for certain liabilities that may arise out of its engagement by Johnson Controls and the rendering of Barclays' opinion. Barclays has

As a result of the refinancing of the existing revolving credit facility, Barclays' commitment to Tyco's revolving credit facility increased to an aggregate amount of $62.5 million, representing 6.25% of the total commitment amount.

Barclays and its affiliates engage in a wide range of businesses from investment and commercial banking, lending, asset management and other financial and non-financial services. In the ordinary course of its business, Barclays and its affiliates may actively trade and effect transactions in the equity, debt and/or other securities (and any derivatives thereof) and financial instruments (including loans and other obligations) of Johnson Controls and Tyco for its own account and for the accounts of its customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold long or short positions and investments in such securities and financial instruments.

actual values of Johnson Controls or Tyco. Some of the summaries of the financial analyses set forth below include information presented in tabular format. The tables must be read together with the text of each summary, as the tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses performed by Johnson Controls' financial advisors. Considering the data in the tables below without considering all financial analyses or factors or the full narrative description of such analyses or factors, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying such analyses or factors, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes underlying the financial analyses of Johnson Controls' financial advisors and their respective opinions. In performing their analyses, Johnson Controls' financial advisors made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Johnson Controls or any other parties to the proposed transaction. None of Johnson Controls, Tyco, Merger Sub, Centerview, Barclays or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those discussed. Any estimates contained in these analyses are not necessarily indicative of actual values or predictive of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than as set forth below. In addition, analyses relating to the value of the businesses do not purport to be appraisals or reflect the prices at which the businesses may actually be sold. Except as otherwise noted, the following quantitative information, to the extent that it is based on market data, is based on market data as it existed on or before January 22, 2016 (the last trading day before the public announcement of the proposed transaction) and is not necessarily indicative of current market conditions.

Pursuant to the merger agreement, each share of Johnson Controls common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the proposed transaction (other than excluded shares) will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of its holder, either (i) one ordinary share of the combined company or (ii) $34.88 in cash, without interest. For the purposes of rendering their opinions, Centerview and Barclays assumed that the Tyco share consolidation, pursuant to which each issued and unissued Tyco ordinary share will be converted into 0.955 Tyco shares, which will become ordinary shares of the combined company, will have been effectuated prior to the effective time of the proposed transaction in accordance with the merger agreement. In performing their analyses and in the summaries of their financial analyses set forth below, Johnson Controls' financial advisors refer to the exchange ratio of 0.955, the exchange ratio in effect prior to the Tyco share consolidation, as the reference exchange ratio for the proposed transaction.

Johnson Controls' financial advisors reviewed and compared certain financial information, ratios and multiples for Johnson Controls, Tyco and certain other publicly traded companies. Johnson Controls' financial advisors calculated and compared the financial information, ratios and multiples (i) for Johnson Controls, based on the Johnson Controls internal forecasts, (ii) for Tyco, based on the Tyco internal forecasts, (iii) for the selected comparable companies, based on information that Johnson Controls' financial advisors obtained from public filings, Wall Street research, FactSet and CapitalIQ as of January 22, 2016 and (iv) the closing share prices for common stock of Johnson Controls, Tyco and the selected comparable companies available from market data on January 22, 2016.

Johnson Controls' financial advisors reviewed historical and projected financial data for 13 selected publicly traded multi-industrials companies and 6 selected publicly traded companies in the auto suppliers industry that Johnson Controls' financial advisors, based on their experience in the industry and judgment as financial advisors, deemed comparable to Johnson Controls and Tyco. None of the selected companies used in this analysis is identical or directly comparable to Johnson Controls or Tyco. Accordingly, an evaluation of the results of this analysis is not entirely mathematical. Rather, this analysis involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics and other factors that could affect the public trading or other values of the companies to which Johnson Controls and Tyco were compared.

Johnson Controls' financial advisors calculated and analyzed for Johnson Controls, Tyco and each of the selected companies the ratio of their share prices as of January 22, 2016 to their estimated next 12 month ("NTM") earnings per share, or EPS (a ratio commonly referred to as a price to earnings ratio, or P/E). Also with respect to Johnson Controls, Tyco and each of the selected companies, Johnson Controls' financial advisors calculated the enterprise value ("EV") (which is generally the market value of common equity plus the book value of debt less cash, adjusted for minority interest positions, equity interest positions and certain announced transactions, as appropriate), as a multiple of the company's estimated NTM earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA").

With respect to Johnson Controls, Johnson Controls' financial advisors performed a sum-of-the-parts selected comparable company analysis by analyzing separately (i) Johnson Controls without the Automotive Experience business (referred to as "RemainCo" throughout this section) and (ii) the Automotive Experience business (referred to as "AE" throughout this section). Johnson Controls' financial advisors compared their analysis of the multi-industrials selected companies with RemainCo and their analysis of the auto suppliers selected companies with AE.

Johnson Controls' financial advisors drew from their analyses, as well as other considerations that they deemed relevant in their experience and judgment as financial advisors, illustrative ranges of trading multiples of 8.0x to 9.0x for RemainCo's NTM EV/EBITDA and 4.0x to 5.0x for AE's NTM EV/EBITDA. Johnson Controls' financial advisors then applied these ranges to the Johnson Controls internal forecasts' estimated NTM EBITDA for RemainCo and AE (excluding equity income) and added estimated NTM after-tax equity income capitalized at a P/E multiple of 13.0x for RemainCo and 8.0x for AE. Johnson Controls' financial advisors then applied a run-rate tax rate of 20.7% and 10% to RemainCo equity income and AE equity income, respectively. The results of this analysis implied a value per share range for shares of Johnson Controls common stock of approximately $35 to $41.

As part of its analysis for Johnson Controls, Barclays also calculated an illustrative range of multiples of 10.5x to 12.0x for Johnson Controls' NTM P/E ratio. Barclays then applied this range to

the estimated NTM EPS, which was calculated by Barclays based on the Johnson Controls internal forecasts, using assumptions that Barclays was directed to use by Johnson Controls. The results of this analysis implied a value per share range for shares of Johnson Controls common stock of approximately $40 to $46.

Johnson Controls' financial advisors compared these per share ranges to the $34.88 implied value, as of January 22, 2016, of the cash consideration per share of Johnson Controls common stock proposed to be paid pursuant to the merger agreement based on Johnson Controls' 5-day volume weighted average price ("VWAP") and to Johnson Controls' closing price of $35.60 on January 22, 2016.

With respect to Tyco, Johnson Controls' financial advisors analyzed the NTM EV/EBITDA and NTM P/E ratios of Tyco and the RemainCo selected companies. Johnson Controls' financial advisors drew from these analyses, as well as other considerations that they deemed relevant in their experience and judgment as financial advisors, illustrative ranges of trading multiples of 9.0x to 10.0x for Tyco's NTM EV/EBITDA ratio and 13.5x to 15.0x for Tyco's NTM P/E ratio. Johnson Controls' financial advisors then applied these ranges to the estimated NTM EBITDA projected in the Tyco internal forecasts and to estimated NTM EPS, which was calculated by Johnson Controls' financial advisors based on the Tyco internal forecasts, using assumptions that Johnson Controls' financial advisors' were directed to use by Johnson Controls.

The results of Centerview's analysis implied a value per share range for Tyco ordinary shares of approximately $29.50 to $33.50 based on EV/EBITDA and approximately $31.00 to $34.50 based on NTM P/E. The results of Barclays' analysis implied a value per share range for Tyco ordinary shares of approximately $30 to $33 based on NTM EV/EBITDA and approximately $31 to $34 based on NTM P/E.

Johnson Controls' financial advisors compared these per share ranges for Tyco ordinary shares to Tyco's closing price of $30.59 on January 22, 2016 and to the $33.31 implied value, as of January 22, 2016, of the share consideration per share of Johnson Controls common stock proposed to be paid pursuant to the merger agreement at the implied transaction exchange ratio of 0.955 Tyco ordinary shares per share of Johnson Controls common stock (before giving effect to the Tyco share consolidation).

Centerview conducted a selected precedent transactions analysis for both Johnson Controls and Tyco, while Barclays performed a selected precedent transaction analysis for Tyco only. In conducting their respective analyses, both Centerview and Barclays reviewed and compared transactions that they, based on their experience with merger and acquisition transactions, deemed relevant, including, among other things, the similarity of the companies in the transactions to Johnson Controls and Tyco with respect to the size, mix, margins and other characteristics of their businesses.

The reasons for and the circumstances surrounding each of the selected precedent transactions analyzed were diverse and there are inherent differences in the business, operations, financial conditions and prospects of Johnson Controls, Tyco and the companies included in the selected precedent transaction analysis. Accordingly, Johnson Controls' financial advisors believed that a purely quantitative selected precedent transaction analysis would not be particularly meaningful in the context of considering the proposed transaction. Johnson Controls' financial advisors therefore made qualitative judgments concerning differences between the characteristics of the selected precedent transactions and the proposed transaction which would affect the values of the selected companies and Johnson Controls and Tyco.

With respect to Johnson Controls, Centerview performed a sum-of-the-parts selected precedent transactions analysis, and drew from the above analysis and other considerations that it deemed relevant in its experience and judgment as a financial advisor illustrative ranges of transaction multiples of 11.0x to 13.0x for RemainCo's LTM/EBITDA and 7.0x to 8.0x for AE's LTM/EBITDA. Centerview then applied these ranges to LTM EBITDA for RemainCo and AE (excluding equity income), respectively. The results of this analysis implied a value per share range for shares of Johnson Controls common stock of approximately $48.00 to $58.00.

Centerview compared these per share ranges to the $34.88 implied value, as of January 22, 2016, of the cash consideration per share of Johnson Controls common stock proposed to be paid pursuant to the merger agreement based on Johnson Controls' 5-day VWAP and to Johnson Controls' closing price of $35.60 on January 22, 2016.

With respect to Tyco, Johnson Controls' financial advisors drew from the above analysis and other considerations that they deemed relevant in their experience and judgment as financial advisors an illustrative range of transaction multiples for Tyco of implied EV/EBITDA of 11.0x to 14.0x and applied this range to Tyco's LTM EBITDA. The results of Centerview's analysis implied a value per share range for Tyco ordinary shares of approximately $35.00 to $45.50. The results of Barclays' analysis implied a value per share range for Tyco ordinary shares of approximately $35 to $46.

In order to estimate the present value of Johnson Controls common stock and Tyco ordinary shares, Johnson Controls' financial advisors performed a discounted cash flow ("DCF") analysis of Johnson Controls and Tyco. A DCF analysis is a traditional valuation methodology used to derive a valuation of an asset by calculating the "present value" of estimated future cash flows of the asset. "Present value" refers to the current value of future cash flows or amounts and is obtained by discounting those future cash flows or amounts by a discount rate that takes into account macroeconomic assumptions and estimates of risk, the opportunity cost of capital, expected returns and other appropriate factors.

To calculate the estimated enterprise value of Johnson Controls using the DCF method, Johnson Controls' financial advisors calculated the after-tax unlevered free cash flows for 9 months of fiscal year 2016 from January 1, 2016 to September 30, 2016 and full year of fiscal year 2017 through 2020. Johnson Controls' financial advisors then estimated a range of terminal values for Johnson Controls at the end of the forecast period by applying perpetuity growth rates ranging from 1.5% to 2.5% to estimated after-tax unlevered free cash flows for the terminal year, which was calculated by Johnson Controls' financial advisors based on the Johnson Controls internal forecasts, using assumptions that Johnson Controls' financial advisors' were directed to use by Johnson Controls.

The unlevered free cash flows and range of terminal values for Johnson Controls were then discounted to present values using the following discount rate ranges, which were chosen by Centerview and Barclays based upon their respective analysis of the weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") of Johnson Controls:

Centerview and Barclays derived their respective WACC using the Capital Asset Pricing Model, taking into account certain metrics including target capital structure, the cost of long-term U.S. Treasury debt, tax rates, unlevered and levered betas for certain selected comparable companies, as well as certain financial metrics for the U.S. financial markets generally.

The present value of Johnson Controls was adjusted for net debt as of the end of September 30, 2015 to derive a range of implied fully diluted per share equity value for Johnson Controls. Centerview's analysis implied a value per share range for Johnson Controls common stock of approximately $42.50 to $58.50. Barclays' analysis implied a value per share range for shares of Johnson Controls common stock of approximately $39 to $53.

Johnson Controls' financial advisors compared these per share ranges to the $34.88 implied value, as of January 22, 2016, of the cash consideration per share of Johnson Controls common stock proposed to be paid pursuant to the merger agreement based on Johnson Controls' 5-day VWAP of $34.88 and to Johnson Controls' closing price of $35.60 on January 22, 2016.

To calculate the estimated enterprise value of Tyco using the DCF method, Johnson Controls' financial advisors calculated the after-tax unlevered free cash flows for 9 months of fiscal year 2016 from January 1, 2016 to September 30, 2016 and full year of fiscal year 2017 through 2020. Johnson Controls' financial advisors then estimated a range of terminal values for Tyco at the end of the forecast period by applying perpetuity growth rates ranging from 2.5% to 3.5% to estimated after-tax unlevered free cash flows for the terminal year, which was calculated by Johnson Controls' financial advisors based on the Tyco internal forecasts, using assumptions that Johnson Controls' financial advisors' were directed to use by Johnson Controls.

The present value of Tyco was adjusted for net debt to derive a range of implied fully diluted per share equity value for Tyco. Johnson Controls' financial advisors' analysis implied a value per share range for Tyco ordinary shares of approximately $31 to $43.

Johnson Controls' financial advisors compared the per share ranges for Tyco ordinary shares to Tyco's closing price of $30.59 on January 22, 2016 and to the $33.31 implied value, as of January 22, 2016, of the share consideration per share of Johnson Controls common stock proposed to be paid pursuant to the merger agreement at the implied transaction exchange ratio of 0.955 Tyco ordinary shares per share of Johnson Controls common stock (before giving effect to the Tyco share consolidation).

The financial advisors also performed a synergy DCF analysis to calculate the present value of the operational synergies and tax synergies anticipated to be achieved as a result of the proposed transaction. Johnson Controls' financial advisors, at the direction of the management of Johnson Controls, assumed run-rate operational synergies of $500 million and run-rate tax synergies of $150 million in connection with their analysis.

In conducting its synergy DCF analysis, Centerview applied the terminal multiple method.

Centerview calculated the projected operating synergy free cash flows for fiscal years 2016 through 2019. Centerview then estimated the operational synergy terminal value at the end of the forecast

period by selecting a range of EBITDA exit multiples of 8.5x to 9.5x and applying that range to the estimated terminal year after-tax operating synergies. Centerview then discounted the operating synergy free cash flows and the operational synergy terminal value to December 31, 2015 using discount rates ranging from 9.0% to 10.0%, which Centerview selected based on its analysis of Tyco's estimated WACC.

Centerview then capitalized the estimated annual tax synergies at a P/E multiple of 13.6x, which Centerview calculated as the blended average of the P/E multiple of Tyco and the P/E multiple implied by the mid-point of the range of EV/EBITDA multiples of 8.0x to 9.0x from the comparable company analysis for RemainCo. Centerview deducted $65 million from the total value of tax synergies, which Johnson Controls management estimated to be the impact of three undiscounted years of foregone interest deductibility associated with the new debt that Tyco proposes to raise to fund the cash consideration to Johnson Controls shareholders, and then added the result to each end of the range of total value of operating synergies, to derive a range of total synergies.

Centerview then added the low end of the range of total synergies to the low end of the enterprise value range of Tyco calculated above under "Discounted Cash Flow without Synergies" and added the high end of the range of total synergies to the high end of the enterprise value range of Tyco calculated above under "Discounted Cash Flow without Synergies" to derive an enterprise value range taking into account the synergies. Centerview calculated a range of implied prices per Tyco ordinary share using the same method described above under "Discounted Cash Flow without Synergies." Centerview's analysis implied a value per share range for Tyco ordinary shares of approximately $42.50 to $55.50.

In conducting its synergy DCF analysis, Barclays applied the perpetuity growth method. To calculate the total value of operational synergies, Barclays calculated the projected operating synergy free cash flows for 9 months of fiscal year 2016 from January 1, 2016 to September 30, 2016 and full year of fiscal year 2017 through 2020. Barclays then estimated the operational synergy terminal value at the end of the forecast period by applying a range of perpetuity growth rates of 1.5% to 2.5% and applying that range to the estimated terminal year after-tax operating synergies. Barclays discounted the operational synergy free cash flows and the operational synergy terminal value to December 31, 2015 using discount rates ranging from 9.0% to 10.0%, which Barclays selected based on Tyco's estimated WACC.

To calculate the total value of tax synergies, Barclays calculated the projected tax synergy free cash flows for 9 months of fiscal year 2016 from January 1, 2016 to September 30, 2016 and full year of fiscal year 2017 through 2020. Barclays then estimated the tax synergy terminal value at the end of the forecast period by applying a range of perpetuity growth rates of 0.0% to 1.0% to the estimated terminal year tax synergies. Barclays discounted the free cash flows from tax synergies and the tax synergy terminal value to December 31, 2015 using discount rates ranging from 9.0% to 10.0%, which Barclays selected based on Tyco's estimated WACC.

Barclays then added the low end of the range of total synergies to the low end of the enterprise value range of Tyco calculated above under "Discounted Cash Flow without Synergies" and added the high end of the range of total synergies to the high end of the enterprise value range of Tyco calculated above under "Discounted Cash Flow without Synergies" to derive an enterprise value range taking into account the synergies. Barclays calculated a range of implied prices per Tyco ordinary share using the same method described above under "Discounted Cash Flow without Synergies." Barclays' analysis implied a value per share range for Tyco ordinary shares of approximately $42 to $58.

Both Centerview and Barclays compared their respective per share ranges for Tyco ordinary shares to Tyco's closing price of $30.59 on January 22, 2016 and to the $33.31 implied value, as of January 22, 2016, of the share consideration per share of Johnson Controls common stock to be paid pursuant to the merger agreement at the implied transaction exchange ratio of 0.955 Tyco ordinary shares per share of Johnson Controls common stock (before giving effect to the Tyco share consolidation).

Based upon a comparison of the range of implied equity values for each of Johnson Controls and Tyco calculated pursuant to the selected comparable companies analysis, selected precedent transactions analysis and discounted cash flow analysis described above, Johnson Controls' financial advisors calculated ranges of implied exchange ratios for the proposed transaction. With respect to any given range of exchange ratios, the higher ratio assumes the highest implied value per share of Tyco ordinary shares divided by the lowest implied value per share of Johnson Controls common stock, and the lower ratio assumes the lowest implied value per share of Tyco ordinary shares divided by the highest implied value per share of Johnson Controls common stock.

Centerview's analysis indicated the following implied ranges of exchange ratios:

For purposes of calculating the implied exchange ratio based on discounted cash flows (including synergies), Centerview assumed that 56% of the discounted cash flow value of the synergies are attributable to Tyco (which represents the implied percentage ownership of Johnson Controls shareholders of the combined company).

Centerview compared the implied ranges of exchange ratios to the implied exchange ratio of 0.8593 based on Johnson Controls' and Tyco's closing prices on January 22, 2016, to the implied exchange ratio of 0.8629 based on Johnson Controls' and Tyco's 5-day VWAPs as of January 22, 2016, and to the implied transaction exchange ratio of 0.955 Tyco ordinary shares per share of Johnson Controls common stock (before giving effect to the Tyco share consolidation).

The Tyco board of directors considered many factors in making its determination that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, the Tyco share issuance and the amendments to Tyco's memorandum and articles of association, are advisable and in the best interests of Tyco and its shareholders. In arriving at its decision at the Tyco board meeting, the Tyco board of directors consulted with Tyco's management, legal advisors, financial advisors and other representatives, reviewed a significant amount of information, considered a number of factors in its deliberations and concluded that the merger is likely to result in significant strategic and financial benefits to Tyco and its shareholders, including (not in any relative order of importance):

The Tyco board of directors concluded that the potential benefits that it expected Tyco and its shareholders to achieve as a result of the merger outweighed the potentially negative factors associated with the merger. Accordingly, the Tyco board of directors unanimously approved the merger agreement, the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, the Tyco share issuance and the amendment and restatement of Tyco's memorandum and articles of association.

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Tyco board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive but includes the material factors considered by the Tyco board of directors. In view of the variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the combination, the Tyco board of directors did not find it practicable to, and did not, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors considered in reaching its determination and recommendation. In addition, individual directors may have given different weights to different factors. The Tyco board of directors did not undertake to make any specific determination as to whether any factor, or any particular aspect of any factor, supported or did not support its ultimate determination. The Tyco board of directors based its recommendation on the totality of the information presented and the factors it considered. The explanation of the Tyco board of directors' reasons for the proposed transactions and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and therefore should be read in light of the factors discussed under " Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements " beginning on page 62 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

For the reasons set forth above and such other factors considered by the Tyco board of directors, the Tyco board of directors determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, the Tyco share issuance and the amendment and restatement of Tyco's memorandum and articles of association, are advisable and in the best interests of Tyco and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that Tyco shareholders vote " FOR " each of the Tyco proposals.

On January 23, 2016, at a meeting of the Tyco board of directors held to evaluate the transactions, Lazard rendered to the Tyco board of directors an oral opinion, which was confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated January 23, 2016, to the effect that, as of that date and based upon and subject to assumptions, procedures, factors, qualifications and limitations set forth therein, the share consolidation ratio (after giving effect to the merger and taking into account the merger consideration) was fair, from a financial point of view, to holders of Tyco ordinary shares (other than Johnson Controls and its affiliates).

The full text of Lazard's written opinion, dated January 23, 2016, to the Tyco board of directors which sets forth, among other things, the procedures followed, assumptions made, factors considered, and qualifications and limitations on the scope of review undertaken, is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex E and is incorporated into this joint proxy statement/prospectus by reference. Lazard's opinion was for the benefit of the Tyco board of directors (in its capacity as such) and Lazard's opinion was rendered to the Tyco board of directors in connection with its evaluation of the transactions.

Lazard assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the foregoing information, without independent verification of such information. Lazard did not conduct any independent valuation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Johnson Controls or Tyco or concerning the solvency or fair value of Johnson Controls, Tyco or the combined company after giving effect to the transactions, and Lazard was not furnished with any such valuation or appraisal. With respect to the financial forecasts utilized in Lazard's analyses, including those related to projected synergies and other benefits anticipated by the managements of Tyco and Johnson Controls to be realized from the transactions, Lazard assumed, with the consent of Tyco, that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments as to the future financial performance of Johnson Controls and Tyco, respectively and such synergies and other benefits. In addition, Lazard assumed, with the consent of Tyco, that such financial forecasts, including projected synergies and other benefits, would be realized in the amounts and at the times contemplated thereby. Lazard assumed no responsibility for and expressed no view as to any such forecasts or the assumptions on which they are based.

Further, Lazard's opinion was necessarily based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to Lazard as of, the date of the opinion. Lazard assumed no responsibility for updating or revising its opinion based on circumstances or events occurring after the date thereof. Lazard did not express any opinion as to the prices at which Tyco ordinary shares or Johnson Controls common stock may trade at any time subsequent to the announcement of the transactions. In connection with Lazard's engagement, Lazard was not authorized to, and it did not, solicit indications of interest from third parties regarding a potential transaction with Tyco. Lazard's opinion did not address the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any other transaction or business strategy in which Tyco might engage or the merits of the underlying decision by Tyco to engage in the transactions.

In rendering Lazard's opinion, Lazard assumed, with the consent of Tyco, that the transactions would be consummated on the terms described in the merger agreement, without any waiver or modification of any material terms or conditions. Representatives of Tyco advised Lazard, and Lazard assumed, that the merger agreement, when executed, would conform to the draft reviewed by Lazard in all material respects. Lazard assumed, with the consent of Tyco, that adjustments (if any) to the merger consideration or share consolidation ratio would not be material in any respect to Lazard's analyses or opinion. Lazard also assumed, with the consent of Tyco, that obtaining the necessary governmental, regulatory or third party approvals and consents for the transactions would not have an adverse effect on Tyco, Johnson Controls or the transactions. The tax elements of Lazard's financial analyses, and the tax attributes expected to apply to the combined company following the consummation of the transactions, were provided to Lazard by Tyco. Lazard assumed, with Tyco's consent, that such tax elements and tax attributes were reasonable and Lazard did not express any view or opinion with respect thereto. Lazard did not express any opinion as to any tax or other consequences that might result from the transactions, nor did Lazard's opinion address any legal, tax, regulatory or accounting matters, as to which Lazard understood that Tyco obtained such advice as it deemed necessary from qualified professionals. Lazard expressed no view or opinion as to any terms or other aspects (other than the share consolidation ratio to the extent expressly specified in the opinion) of the transactions, including, without limitation, the form or structure of the transactions or any agreements or arrangements entered into in connection with, or contemplated by, the transactions. Although the subsequent spin-off of Johnson Controls' Automotive Experience business was contemplated at the time of rendering the Lazard opinion, as reflected in Lazard's materials, Lazard did not express any opinion as to such spin-off or any other potential spin-off, split-off, sale or divestiture that Johnson Controls or Tyco may have evaluated as a related or subsequent transaction. In addition, Lazard expressed no view or opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of, or any other aspects relating to, the compensation to any officers, directors or employees of any parties to the transactions, or class of such

persons, relative to the share consolidation ratio or otherwise. The issuance of Lazard's opinion was approved by the Opinion Committee of Lazard.

In preparing its opinion to the Tyco board of directors, Lazard performed a variety of financial and comparative analyses. The following is a brief summary of the material financial and comparative analyses that Lazard deemed to be appropriate for this type of transaction and that were reviewed with the Tyco board of directors by Lazard in connection with rendering its opinion. The summary of Lazard's analyses described below is not a complete description of the analyses underlying Lazard's opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex analytical process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, is not readily susceptible to partial or summary description. In arriving at its opinion, Lazard considered the results of all of the analyses undertaken by it and assessed as a whole and did not draw, in isolation, conclusions from or with regard to any one factor or method of analysis considered by it. Rather, Lazard made its determination as to fairness on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all of the analyses. Accordingly, Lazard believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and factors or focusing on information presented in tabular format, without considering all analyses and factors or the narrative description of the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes underlying its analyses and opinion.

In its analyses, Lazard considered industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Tyco. No company or business used in Lazard's analyses is identical to Tyco or Johnson Controls, and such analyses may not necessarily utilize all companies or businesses that could be deemed comparable to Tyco or Johnson Controls. Accordingly, an evaluation of the results of those analyses is not entirely mathematical. Rather, the analyses involve complex considerations and judgments concerning financial and operating characteristics and other factors that could affect the public trading or other values of the companies analyzed. The estimates contained in Lazard's analyses and the ranges of valuations resulting from any particular analysis are not necessarily indicative of actual values or predictive of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by the analyses. In addition, analyses relating to the value of businesses or securities do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold. Accordingly, the estimates used in, and the results derived from, Lazard's analyses are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty.

The merger consideration was determined through negotiations between Tyco and Johnson Controls and was approved by the Tyco board of directors. Lazard was not requested to, and it did not, recommend the specific merger consideration payable in the transactions or that any given merger consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the transactions. The decision to enter into the merger agreement was solely that of the Tyco board of directors and the opinion of Lazard was only one of many factors taken into consideration by the Tyco board of directors in its evaluation of the transactions. Consequently, the analyses described below should not be viewed as determinative of the views of the Tyco board of directors or Tyco's management with respect to the transactions or the merger consideration.

The financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand Lazard's financial analyses, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. Considering the data in the tables below without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of Lazard's financial analyses and reviews.

Lazard reviewed and analyzed certain financial information, valuation multiples and market trading data related to selected publicly-traded peers (listed below) whose operations Lazard believed, based on its judgment and experience, to be similar to Tyco's operations for purposes of these analyses.

Although none of the peers included in the selected comparable company analyses is identical or directly comparable to Tyco, the peers included were chosen because they are publicly traded companies with certain operations, results, business mixes or product profiles that, for the purposes of analysis, may be considered similar to certain operations, results, business mixes or product profiles of Tyco.

The following table represents the results of Lazard's analysis of selected publicly traded companies as of January 20, 2016:

Based on an analysis of the peers and Lazard's professional judgment, Lazard selected ranges of multiples to estimated 2016 data for Tyco included in the Tyco internal forecasts (which are described under " Tyco Unaudited Prospective Financial Information "), which Lazard was directed by Tyco management to use. For the EV/EBITDA multiple, Lazard applied a selected range of multiples of 9.0x to 10.0x to the estimated 2016 EBITDA of Tyco. The results of the foregoing analysis implied an equity value per share range, rounded to the nearest $0.10, for Tyco on a stand-alone basis of $29.80 to $33.70. For the P/E multiple, Lazard applied a selected range of multiples of 12.5x to 14.5x to the estimated 2016 EPS of Tyco included in the Tyco internal forecasts.

Lazard performed a discounted cash flow analysis of Tyco to calculate the estimated present value of the unlevered free cash flows that Tyco was forecasted to generate on a stand-alone basis during the fiscal years 2016 through 2020, which Lazard was directed by the management of Tyco to use. Lazard also calculated estimated terminal values for Tyco by applying a perpetual growth rate range of 2.0% to 3.0% for Tyco to the estimated after-tax unlevered free cash flows for the terminal year included in the Tyco internal forecasts. The unlevered free cash flows and terminal values were discounted to present value using a discount rate of 8.5%, which was based on Lazard's judgment and analysis of an estimated weighted average cost of capital for Tyco. Lazard derived its WACC using the Capital Asset Pricing Model, taking into account certain metrics including capital structure, the cost of long-term U.S. Treasury debt, tax rates, unlevered and levered betas for certain selected comparable companies, as well as certain financial metrics for the U.S. financial markets generally. This analysis resulted in an implied per share equity reference range, rounded to the nearest $0.10, for Tyco on a stand-alone basis of $38.80 to $45.20, as compared to the $29.82 price per Tyco ordinary share as of January 20, 2016.

Lazard performed selected precedent transactions analyses with respect to Tyco on a stand-alone basis by reviewing selected transactions involving security and fire entities announced since June 2003 and for which financial information was publicly available.

For each of the selected precedent transactions, Lazard reviewed, based on publicly available information to the extent available, the ratios of transaction value to LTM EBITDA. The ranges for the results of these analyses are summarized in the following table:

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Other Analyses With Respect to Tyco

The analyses and data described below were presented to the Tyco board for information purposes only and did not provide the basis for the rendering of Lazard's opinion.

Lazard performed an illustrative analysis of the implied present value of Tyco's future value per Tyco ordinary share, which is designed to provide an indication of the present value of a theoretical future value of a company's equity as a function of such company's estimated EBITDA and its assumed EV/EBITDA multiple. For the base case analysis, Lazard assumed debt would remain constant over the forecasted period and all excess cash would be used to repurchase stock. Lazard used the Tyco internal forecasts to calculate the implied value per Tyco ordinary share by applying illustrative NTM EV/EBITDA multiples of 9.0x to 10.0x to fiscal year 2018 EBITDA estimates for Tyco on a stand-alone basis, and then discounting to present value using a discount rate of 9.5% reflecting an estimate of Tyco's cost of equity, the sum of (1) the theoretical future value of Tyco ordinary shares plus (2) per share dividends forecasted by Tyco's management. This analysis resulted in a range of implied present values, rounded to the nearest $0.10, of $36.50 to $40.60 per Tyco ordinary share.

Lazard assumed debt would increase to maintain 2.5x leverage over the forecasted period with proceeds used to repurchase stock, a 5.5% interest rate would apply to additional debt and all excess cash flow would be used to repurchase stock. Lazard used the Tyco internal forecasts to calculate the implied value per Tyco ordinary share by applying illustrative NTM EV/EBITDA multiples of 9.0x to 10.0x to fiscal year 2018 EBITDA estimates for Tyco on a stand-alone basis, and then discounting to present value using an discount rate of 9.5% reflecting an estimate of Tyco's cost of equity, the sum of (1) the theoretical future value of Tyco ordinary shares plus (2) per share dividends forecasted by Tyco's management. This analysis resulted in a range of implied present values, rounded to the nearest $0.10, of $38.00 to $42.40 per Tyco ordinary share.

Lazard reviewed selected equity analyst stock price targets for Tyco ordinary shares based on publicly available Wall Street research analyst reports, which indicated target prices that ranged from $31.00 to $50.00 per share on a stand-alone basis.

Lazard reviewed historical data with regard to the closing prices of Tyco ordinary shares for the 52-week period to and including January 20, 2016. During this period, the closing price of Tyco ordinary shares ranged, rounded to the nearest $0.10, from a low of $29.80 to a high of $43.50 per share.

Although none of the peers included in the selected comparable company analyses is identical or directly comparable to Johnson Controls, the peers included were chosen because they are publicly traded companies with certain operations, results, business mixes or product profiles that, for the purposes of analysis, may be considered similar to certain operations, results, business mixes or product profiles of Johnson Controls.

Based on the results of the foregoing analysis and Lazard's professional judgment, Lazard applied selected ranges of multiples to estimated 2016 data for Johnson Controls based on the Johnson Controls internal forecasts (which are described under " Johnson Controls Unaudited Prospective Financial Information "). For the EV/EBITDA multiple, Lazard applied a selected range of multiples of 8.0x to 9.5x (Building Efficiency), 8.0x to 9.5x (Power Solutions) and 4.0x to 5.0x (Auto) to the estimated 2016 EBITDA of Johnson Controls. The results of the foregoing analysis implied an equity value per share range, rounded to the nearest $0.10, for Johnson Controls on a stand-alone (sum-of-the-parts) basis of $36.90 to $45.40. For the P/E multiple, Lazard applied a selected range of multiples of 11.0x to 13.0x (Johnson Controls ex. Auto) and 7.0x to 9.0x (Auto) to the estimated 2016 EPS of Johnson Controls included in the Johnson Controls internal forecasts, which Lazard was directed by the management of Tyco to use. The results of the foregoing analysis implied an equity value per share range, rounded to the nearest $0.10, for Johnson Controls on a stand-alone (sum-of-the-parts) basis of $37.10 to $45.00, as compared to the implied value of the merger consideration of $34.88.

Lazard performed a discounted cash flow analysis of Johnson Controls to calculate the estimated present value of the unlevered free cash flows that Johnson Controls was forecasted to generate on a stand-alone basis during the fiscal years 2016 through 2020, which Lazard was directed by the management of Tyco to use. Lazard also calculated estimated terminal values for Johnson Controls by applying a perpetual growth rate range of 2.0% to 3.0% for Johnson Controls ex. Auto and (0.5%) to 0.5% for Auto, in each case based on the estimated after-tax unlevered free cash flows for the terminal year included in the Johnson Controls internal forecasts. The unlevered free cash flows and terminal values were discounted to present value using a discount rate of 8.4% for Johnson Controls ex. Auto and to 10.0% for Auto, which were based on Lazard's judgment and analysis of an estimated weighted average cost of capital. This analysis resulted in an implied per share equity reference range, rounded to the nearest $0.10, for Johnson Controls on a stand-alone (sum-of-the-parts) basis of $48.70 to $56.70.

The analyses and data relating to Johnson Controls described below were presented to the Tyco board of directors for reference purposes only and did not provide the basis for, and were not otherwise material to, the rendering of Lazard's opinion.

Lazard performed an illustrative analysis of the implied present value of Johnson Controls' future value per share of Johnson Controls common stock, which is designed to provide an indication of the present value of a theoretical future value of a company's equity as a function of such company's estimated future EBITDA and its assumed EV/EBITDA multiple. For Johnson Controls ex. Auto, Lazard assumed debt would remain constant over the forecasted period and all excess cash would be used to repurchase stock. For Auto, Lazard assumed all excess cash would be used to pay down debt. For this analysis, Lazard used the Johnson Controls internal forecasts (which are described under " Johnson Controls Unaudited Prospective Financial Information ") to calculate the implied values per share of Johnson Controls common stock by applying illustrative NTM EV/EBITDA multiples of 7.0x

Auto and 13.0% for Auto reflecting an estimate of Johnson Controls ex. Auto and Auto's cost of equity, the sum of (1) the theoretical future value of Johnson Controls common stock plus (2) per share dividends forecasted by Johnson Controls' management. This analysis resulted in a range of implied present values, rounded to the nearest $0.10, of $35.30 to $41.40 per share of Johnson Controls common stock.

Lazard reviewed selected equity analyst stock price targets for Johnson Controls common stock based on publicly available Wall Street research analyst reports, which indicated target prices that ranged from $42.00 to $68.00 per share on a stand-alone basis.

Lazard reviewed historical data with regard to the closing prices of shares of Johnson Controls common stock for the 52-week period to and including January 20, 2016. During this period, the closing price of shares of Johnson Controls common stock ranged, rounded to the nearest $0.10, from a low of $34.70 to a high of $53.60 per share.

Lazard noted to the Tyco board that the implied ownership based on contribution analysis was a purely mathematical calculation that did not include projected synergies and other benefits, nor did it reflect a number of qualitative factors used in valuing Tyco, Johnson Controls and the combined company.

Using the results of (i) the selected comparable companies analyses described above on both a EV/EBITDA and P/E basis and (ii) the discounted cash flow analyses on a stand-alone basis, Lazard calculated the exchange ratio that would be implied for the stock component of the merger consideration based on such valuations and compared it to the Tyco share consolidation ratio of 0.955. This analysis involved a calculation of the relative values implied for Johnson Controls common stock and Tyco ordinary shares (i.e., implied Johnson Controls share value divided by implied Tyco share value). In order to derive the ranges implied by this analysis, on the low end of such range, Lazard calculated the result obtained by dividing (x) the low end of the derived valuation range for Johnson from the relevant analysis (as described above) by (y) the high end of the derived valuation range for Tyco from the relevant analysis (as described above) and, on the high end of such range, Lazard calculated the result obtained by dividing (a) the high end of the derived valuation range for Johnson

In addition to performing the above valuation analyses of Tyco's equity value per share, as well as the other analyses for informational purposes only described above, Lazard performed valuation analyses of Johnson Controls' equity value per share, to evaluate the form and amount of merger consideration to be paid in the Transaction. The following paragraphs summarize the Johnson Controls valuation analyses.

Lazard, at the direction of the management of Tyco, assumed run-rate operational synergies of $500 million and run-rate tax synergies of $225 million in connection with their analysis.

Utilizing the financial information described above, Lazard compared the stand-alone per share value of Tyco to the pro forma per share value of the combined company after giving effect to the merger, including (i) a cash/stock transaction with a 0.955x exchange ratio and $3.9 billion in cash consideration to Johnson Controls, (ii) realization of operating and tax synergies as provided to Lazard by Tyco management and (iii) the inclusion of estimated transaction costs.

Quantification of Payments. Under the Johnson Controls 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Johnson Controls Omnibus Plan"), Johnson Controls equity awards that are assumed by the combined company will vest if an executive officer's employment is terminated by the combined company without cause or by the executive officer with good reason, during a specified period following a change of control, which period is 24 months, or 36 months, if the executive officer executes the acknowledgment described in " Change of Control Employment Agreements with Executive Officers (Other Than Mr. Molinaroli) " below (a "Johnson Controls qualifying termination"). The merger agreement provides that the merger constitute or will be deemed to constitute a change of control for purposes of the Johnson Controls equity awards assumed by the combined company as described above. For an estimate of the amounts that would be payable to each of Johnson Controls' named executive officers upon vesting of their unvested Johnson Controls equity awards in connection with a Johnson Controls qualifying termination, see " Quantification of Payments and Benefits to Johnson Controls' Named Executive Officers " below. The estimated aggregate amount that would be payable to Johnson Controls' ten executive officers who are not named executive officers upon vesting of their unvested Johnson Controls equity awards if the merger were consummated on [ ], 2016 and they were to experience a Johnson Controls qualifying termination on that date is $[ ]. None of Johnson Controls' non-employee directors hold any Johnson Controls equity awards (other than the deferred share units described under " Johnson Controls Deferred Compensation Plans " below, all of which are vested). The amount specified in this paragraph is determined using a price per share of Johnson Controls common stock of $35.02, the average closing price per share over the first five business days following the announcement of the transaction (i.e., the five-day period beginning January 25, 2016). The estimated amounts do not include any equity awards that may be granted in connection with Johnson Controls' ordinary course annual equity grants as permitted by the merger agreement, which awards will be treated in the same manner as described above in this section.

Bruce McDonald, Executive Vice President and Vice Chairman) has entered into this acknowledgment. Mr. McDonald has not entered into a letter agreement as described above, and as a result the merger will not be deemed to constitute a change of control under his change of control employment agreement (although the merger will constitute a change of control with respect to his equity-based awards, as described above, and the Johnson Controls deferred compensation plans, as described below).

The change of control employment agreements require Johnson Controls executive officers to comply with confidentiality provisions during employment and for two years following termination of employment.

The Johnson Controls executive officers would generally have "good reason" to resign under their respective change of control employment agreements if:

Mr. McDonald has not entered into a letter agreement as described above, and as a result, Mr. McDonald's change of control employment agreement will not apply to a termination without cause immediately following the consummation of the merger. Instead, Mr. McDonald's employment agreement will continue in full force and effect. Upon a termination without cause prior to a change of control (including a termination without cause following the consummation of the merger), Mr. McDonald would be entitled to a cash severance benefit in an amount equal to the greater of one year of his base salary as of the termination date, or twice the amount payable under the Johnson Controls severance plan for U.S. salaried employees.

Under the terms of the amended Molinaroli change of control agreement, the merger will be deemed to constitute a change of control, although the provisions of the agreement related to guaranteed continued compensation will not apply in respect of the change of control triggered by the merger (other than with respect to base salary). In addition, the amended Molinaroli change of control agreement provides (1) that, in addition to the events constituting "good reason" as described in " Change of Control Employment Agreements with Executive Officers (Other Than Mr. Molinaroli) ," a failure by the combined company to provide target incentive compensation opportunities at least as favorable as those provided immediately prior to the closing of the merger, or a failure to provide perquisites at least as favorable as those provided to similarly situated executives of the combined company from time to time, will provide a basis for Mr. Molinaroli to terminate employment for "good reason" in a Johnson Controls qualifying termination, and (2) for a restricted stock unit award of the combined company following the merger having an aggregate grant date fair value equal to $20 million. The restricted stock unit award will vest on the date that is 30 months following the closing of the merger, subject to Mr. Molinaroli's continued employment through such date and to accelerated vesting upon his earlier death or disability.

Under the amended Molinaroli change of control agreement, Mr. Molinaroli will experience a Johnson Controls qualifying termination if his employment is terminated by the combined company without cause or by him with good reason, in each case, prior to the date that is 30 months following the merger, and he will be entitled to the compensation and benefits as described above under " Change of Control Employment Agreements with Executive Officers (Other Than Mr. Molinaroli) " and all equity awards granted to him prior to the merger will vest as described above under " Treatment of Johnson Controls Equity-Based Awards ."

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Johnson Controls Deferred Compensation Plans

All of Johnson Controls' current executive officers participate in Johnson Controls' Executive Deferred Compensation Plan and Johnson Controls' Retirement Restoration Plan. Dr. Beda Bolzenius, Johnson Controls' former Vice President and PresidentAutomotive Experience, left Johnson Controls' employment effective March 31, 2016, and does not participate in either such plan. In addition, certain of Johnson Controls' non-employee directors participate in Johnson Controls' Deferred Compensation Plan for Certain Directors.

Under the merger agreement, each Johnson Controls deferred stock unit (excluding any Johnson Controls equity award) that is deemed invested in shares of Johnson Controls common stock as of immediately prior to the effective time under any of Johnson Controls' Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, Retirement Restoration Plan, or Deferred Compensation Plan for Certain Directors (collectively, the "Johnson Controls deferred compensation plans") shall be deemed to be invested in combined company ordinary shares as of the effective time, with the number of combined company ordinary shares subject to the deferred stock unit in a participant's account to be equal to the number of shares of Johnson Controls common stock subject to such deferred stock unit as of immediately prior to the effective time. Following the effective time, the Johnson Controls deferred compensation plans will otherwise continue to have the same terms, including payment terms and investment options that were applicable immediately prior to the effective time, with the Johnson Controls common stock fund to be replaced with a combined company ordinary share fund.

Each of the Johnson Controls deferred compensation plans provides that, upon a change of control, all amounts deferred under the applicable plan (determined based on the actuarial equivalent value in the case of supplemental defined benefit pension benefits under the Retirement Restoration Plan) will become vested (to the extent not vested) and paid out in a lump sum generally within

30 days following the consummation of the change of control. The merger will constitute a change of control for purposes of the Johnson Controls deferred compensation plans.

The Johnson Controls compensation committee has implemented a special program for all current employee and active retiree participants in the Johnson Controls deferred compensation plans. Under this special program, each active and retiree participant in the Johnson Controls deferred compensation plans, other than Johnson Controls current non-employee directors and executive officers will receive an increase in his or her cash distribution based on a formula applied consistently across all such participants. Utilizing the same methodology, Johnson Controls executive officers who participate in the Johnson Controls deferred compensation plans will be granted an incentive award in the form of restricted stock units upon the closing of the merger (in lieu of the increased cash distribution), which award will vest on the date that is 36 months (30 months, in the case of Mr. Molinaroli) following the closing of the merger, subject to the executive officer's continued employment with the combined company through that date and to accelerated vesting upon an earlier Johnson Controls qualifying termination. The amount of the increase in the cash distribution, and the value of the restricted stock unit award are intended to partially offset the lost deferral opportunity and the lost opportunity to earn additional supplemental benefits as a result of the merger.

For an estimate of the value of the unvested amounts under the Johnson Controls deferred compensation plans that would vest in respect of, and the value of the anticipated restricted stock unit awards to be granted to, each of Johnson Controls' named executive officers upon consummation of the merger, see " Quantification of Payments and Benefits to Johnson Controls' Named Executive Officers " below. The estimated aggregate value of unvested amounts under the Johnson Controls deferred compensation plans that would vest in respect of, and the value of the anticipated restricted stock unit awards to be granted to, Johnson Controls' ten other executive officers upon consummation of the merger if the merger were to be consummated on [ ], 2016 is $ [ ].

Golden Parachute CompensationJohnson Controls

The following table sets forth the information required by Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K regarding the compensation for Johnson Controls' named executive officers based on the merger, assuming that the merger was consummated on [ ], 2016 and each such named executive officer experienced a Johnson Controls qualifying termination immediately following the consummation of the merger. The amounts below are determined using a price per share of Johnson Controls common stock of $35.02, the average closing price per share over the first five business days following the announcement of the merger agreement (i.e., the five-day period beginning January 25, 2016), and are based on multiple assumptions that may or may not actually occur or be accurate on the relevant date, including the assumptions described in the footnotes to the table. The amounts below do not reflect certain compensation actions that may occur before the effective time of the merger. The actual amounts payable to the Johnson Controls' named executive officers, if any, will depend on the date of termination, the manner of termination and the terms of the plans or agreements in effect at such time.

In connection with the Tyco share consolidation, each award of time-vesting restricted share units that is outstanding immediately prior to the share consolidation will be adjusted by multiplying (i) the number of Tyco ordinary shares subject to the award by (ii) the share consolidation ratio. Each award of performance-vesting restricted share units that is outstanding immediately prior to the Tyco share consolidation will be converted into an award of time-vesting restricted share units with respect to a number of combined company ordinary shares determined by multiplying (A) the number of Tyco ordinary shares subject to the award, determined based on the greater of target and actual performance (as determined by the board of directors of Tyco in its reasonable discretion) by (B) the share consolidation ratio.

The vesting of awards of Tyco restricted share units will not accelerate upon consummation of the merger. Time-vesting restricted share units will continue to be subject to the same time-based vesting conditions, and the performance-vesting restricted share units, as converted, will become vested following the completion of the vesting period originally applicable to the restricted share units immediately prior to the share consolidation and the merger. However, the terms and conditions of the restricted share units provide that if an executive officer's employment is terminated by Tyco or the combined company without cause, or by the executive officer with good reason, and the executive officer would be entitled to severance benefits under the CIC Severance Plan (described below), in either case, during the 60-day period immediately prior to or the 24-month period following the consummation of the merger (a "Tyco qualifying termination"), such Tyco restricted share units will become fully vested.

Certain Tyco executive officers, including Messrs. Oliver, Olson, Pfeiffer and Costello, and Ms. Reinsdorf, are eligible for benefits under Tyco's Change in Control Severance Plan for Certain U.S. Officers and Executives (the "CIC Severance Plan"), except that following the consummation of the merger, Mr. Oliver will be entitled to benefits under his employment agreement, described below, and not the CIC Severance Plan. Mr. Nayar retired on November 13, 2015, and therefore is not entitled to severance benefits under the CIC Severance Plan.

Under the CIC Severance Plan, a Tyco executive officer will be entitled to specified benefits if the executive officer experiences a Tyco qualifying termination.

Upon a Tyco qualifying termination, the terminated executive officer would become entitled under the CIC Severance Plan to a severance payment of two times base salary and two times target bonus, payable in a lump sum. In addition, the executive officer would be entitled to a prorated portion of the executive's annual bonus for the year in which employment was terminated, one year of continuing coverage under Tyco's medical and dental benefits, a lump sum cash payment equal to the projected value of the employer portion of premiums under Tyco's medical and dental plans for an additional one year, and one year of outplacement services. To receive any cash payments or benefits under the CIC Severance Plan, the terminated executive officer must sign a general release and comply with confidentiality and non-disparagement covenants.

The Tyco executive officer would have "good reason" under the CIC Severance Plan if:

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Employment Agreement with Mr. Oliver

In connection with the merger agreement, Tyco entered into an employment agreement, dated as of January 24, 2016, with Mr. Oliver, which will become effective subject to, and contingent upon, the consummation of the merger (the "Oliver Employment Agreement"). The terms of the Oliver Employment Agreement generally are comparable to the Amended and Restated Change of Control Executive Employment Agreement entered into with Johnson Controls' current Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Alex A. Molinaroli, in connection with the merger agreement. See " Interests of Johnson Controls' Directors and Executive Officers in the MergerAmended and Restated Change of Control Employment Agreement with Mr. Molinaroli ."

The Oliver Employment Agreement covers an initial employment period of 33 months following the consummation of the merger (the "specified period"), and a two-year employment period following any subsequent change of control.

Mr. Oliver will serve as the President and Chief Operating Officer of the combined company until the 18-month anniversary of the effective time of the merger (or such earlier date that Mr. Molinaroli ceases to serve as Chief Executive Officer). Following the first succession date, Mr. Oliver will serve as chief executive officer of the combined company, and beginning on the second succession date, Mr. Oliver will be appointed chairman of the board of directors of the combined company. During the specified period, Mr. Oliver will be entitled to a base salary of $1,250,000 per year, have a target annual bonus opportunity of 135% of his then-current base salary, and have an annual long-term incentive compensation opportunity target of at least $8.25 million.

Under the Oliver Employment Agreement, if Mr. Oliver is terminated by the combined company without cause, Mr. Oliver resigns for good reason, or Mr. Oliver's employment ceases due to his death or disability, he (or his beneficiary) will be entitled to: (i) a lump sum severance payment equal to three times the sum of Mr. Oliver's annual base salary and a bonus amount calculated using the greater of his target bonus for the year of termination or his annual bonus for the most recently completed fiscal year, (ii) payment of a prorated portion of the bonus amount for the year of termination; (iii) a cash payment equal to the lump sum value of the additional benefits Mr. Oliver would have accrued through the second anniversary of the merger under certain pension plans, assuming Mr. Oliver is fully vested in such benefits at the time of termination; and (iv) continued medical and welfare benefits for a two-year period following Mr. Oliver's date of termination (in the case of a termination without "cause" or with "good reason").

Additionally, if the combined company terminates Mr. Oliver other than for cause or Mr. Oliver terminates his employment for good reason during the specified period, all equity awards granted prior to the merger will vest, and all share options granted to him prior to the consummation of the merger will remain exercisable until the earlier of three years following Mr. Oliver's date of termination of employment and the date of expiration of the applicable share option award.

Mr. Oliver would have "good reason" to terminate employment under the Oliver Employment Agreement if:

Following the specified period, and at any time other than the two-year period following a subsequent change of control, upon the termination of his employment, Mr. Oliver would be entitled to cash severance not lower than the cash severance amount he would have received upon a termination of his employment with Tyco prior to entering into the Oliver Employment Agreement.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, Johnson Controls and Tyco have agreed that, for a period of not less than six years from and after the effective time of the merger, the combined company will indemnify and hold harmless all individuals who are, or prior to the effective time of the merger are, past or present directors, officers or employees of Tyco and its subsidiaries for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the effective time of the merger, to the fullest extent permitted by law or as provided pursuant to the Tyco memorandum and articles of association or similar organizational documents of the subsidiaries of Tyco.

In addition, for an aggregate period of not less than six years from the effective time of the merger, the combined company will provide the current or former directors and officers of Tyco an insurance and indemnification policy that provides coverage for events occurring prior to the effective time of the merger that is no less favorable than Tyco's existing policy, or, if insurance coverage that is no less favorable is unavailable, the best available coverage, subject to the limitation that the combined company will not be required to spend in any one year more than 300% of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of the merger agreement for Tyco's existing policy.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Certain Governance Matters

At the effective time of the merger, the board of directors of the combined company will consist of eleven directors, six of whom will be directors of the Johnson Controls board of directors prior to the closing and five of whom will be directors of the Tyco board of directors prior to the closing. The eleven directors of the combined company will include Alex A. Molinaroli, the current Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Johnson Controls, George R. Oliver, the current Chief Executive Officer of Tyco, and nine other directors mutually agreed between Johnson Controls and Tyco. One of the six directors from the Johnson Controls board of directors prior to the closing will be elected independent lead director of the board of directors of the combined company. See " Board of Directors of the Combined Company after the Merger ."

As of the effective time of the merger, Mr. Molinaroli will be appointed as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the combined company, and Mr. Oliver will serve as President and Chief Operating Officer of the combined company. Mr. Oliver will succeed Mr. Molinaroli as Chief Executive Officer on the 18-month anniversary of the effective time of the merger (or such earlier time that Mr. Molinaroli ceases to be Chief Executive Officer). At that time, Mr. Molinaroli will become the Executive Chairman, with the executive functions set forth in his employment agreement, and will serve in such role for 12 months. Following such 12-month period (or such earlier time that Mr. Molinaroli ceases to be Executive Chairman), Mr. Oliver will become Chairman and continue as Chief Executive Officer of the combined company.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, Tyco may determine and pay annual bonuses in respect of the 2016 fiscal year based on actual performance in the ordinary course of business if the effective time of the merger has not occurred by September 30, 2016, disregarding the expenses and costs related to the merger. The merger agreement also permits Tyco to enter into agreements with its directors and executive officers providing for the reimbursement of any taxes that may be imposed under Section 4985 of the Code in connection with the merger, though no such reimbursements are currently expected to become necessary or payable.

(3) Under the Oliver Employment Agreement, Mr. Oliver would be entitled to a cash payment equal to the lump sum value of the additional benefits Mr. Oliver would have accrued through the second anniversary of the merger under certain pension plans of the combined company, assuming Mr. Oliver is fully vested in such benefits at the time of termination. Such amount is "double-trigger." Assuming a termination without cause immediately following the consummation of the merger, Mr. Oliver will not become a participant in any other pension plan of the combined company, so the amount set forth in the table in respect of this benefit is $0.00. In addition, Mr. Oliver does not have any unvested benefit under the Tyco Supplemental Savings and Retirement Plan which would become vested upon consummation of the merger, without regard to whether his employment was subsequently terminated. Accordingly, for Mr. Oliver, the total amount set forth in the table with respect to the Tyco Supplemental Savings and Retirement Plan is $0.00.

For each other named executive officer, this amount includes the amount of unvested discretionary employer contributions under the Tyco Supplemental Savings and Retirement Plan that would become vested upon consummation of the merger. Such amounts are "single-trigger."

(4) The CIC Severance Plan provides for post-termination medical coverage in the event of a Tyco qualifying termination of employment, but at the same level of benefit that the executive officer (other than Mr. Oliver) would be entitled to under the terms of Tyco's severance plan that would apply absent a change in control. Such amounts are "double-trigger."

Under the HSR Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the FTC, the transaction cannot be consummated until, among other things, notifications have been given and certain information has been furnished to the FTC and the Antitrust Division and all applicable waiting periods have expired or been terminated.

The Antitrust Division, the FTC and others may challenge the combination on antitrust grounds even after termination of the waiting period. At any time before or after the consummation of the merger, any of the Antitrust Division, the FTC or another person could take action under the antitrust laws as it deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including, without limitation, seeking to enjoin the consummation of the merger, seeking a rescission or other unwinding of the combination, or permitting completion subject to regulatory concessions or conditions. There can be no assurance that a challenge to the combination will not be made or that, if a challenge is made, it will not succeed.

Section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (the "Defense Production Act"), as well as related Executive Orders and regulations, authorize the President and CFIUS to review transactions which could result in control of a United States business by a foreign person. Under the Defense Production Act and Executive Order 13456, the Secretary of the Treasury acts through CFIUS to coordinate review of certain covered transactions that are voluntarily submitted to CFIUS or that are unilaterally reviewed by CFIUS. In general, CFIUS review of a covered transaction occurs in an initial 30-day review period that may be extended by CFIUS for an additional 45-day investigation period. At the close of its review or investigation, CFIUS may decline to take any action relative to the covered transaction; may propose and agree to mitigation terms to resolve any national security concerns associated with the covered transaction; or may send a report to the President recommending that the transaction be suspended or prohibited, providing notice to the President that CFIUS cannot agree on a recommendation relative to the covered transaction, or requesting the President to take a decision regarding the transaction. The President has 15 days under the Defense Production Act to act on CFIUS's report.

Johnson Controls and Tyco have agreed to submit a joint voluntary notice of the merger to CFIUS. The closing of the merger is therefore conditioned on one of (i) written notice from CFIUS that review of the merger contemplated by the merger agreement having been concluded and CFIUS having determined that there are no unresolved national security concerns with respect to the merger and advised that action under Section 721 of the Defense Production Act has been concluded, (ii) a conclusion by CFIUS that the merger is not a covered transaction and not subject to review under applicable law or (iii) CFIUS having sent a report to the President of the United States requesting the

In addition, it is a condition to closing the merger that Johnson Controls enter into, or receive verbal or written confirmation of an agreement to enter into, a commitment letter with the DSS, the agency with authority over facility and personal security clearances held by Johnson Controls entities and personnel to mitigate any foreign ownership, control or influence arising out of the merger. Johnson Controls has provided notice of the merger to the DSS. Johnson Controls and Tyco will work with DSS to develop appropriate structures to mitigate any foreign ownership, control or influence over the operations of Johnson Controls created by the merger in accordance with the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual and related security policies.

Although Johnson Controls and Tyco believe that they will be able to obtain the requisite regulatory clearances from CFIUS and the DSS in a timely manner, they cannot be certain when or if they will do so, or if any clearances will contain terms, conditions, or restrictions that will be detrimental to or adversely affect Johnson Controls, Tyco, or their respective subsidiaries after the completion of the merger.

Any former Johnson Controls shareholder who hold ordinary shares of the combined company into which Johnson Controls common stock has been converted in connection with the merger will receive whatever dividends are declared and paid on combined company ordinary shares after consummation of the merger, except that no dividend or other distribution having a record date after consummation of the merger will actually be paid with respect to any combined company ordinary shares into which Johnson Controls common stock has been converted in connection with the merger until the certificates formerly representing shares of Johnson Controls common stock have been surrendered (or the book-entry shares formerly representing shares of Johnson Controls common stock have been transferred), at which time any accrued dividends and other distributions on those combined company ordinary shares will be paid without interest. There can be no assurance that any future dividends will be declared or paid by the combined company or as to the amount or timing of those dividends, if any.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Johnson Controls Stock Repurchase

In November 2012, the Johnson Controls board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program to acquire up to $500 million of Johnson Controls' outstanding common stock, which superseded any prior programs. In September 2013, the Johnson Controls board of directors authorized up to an additional $500 million in stock repurchases of Johnson Controls' outstanding common stock, and in November 2013, the Johnson Controls board of directors authorized an additional $3.0 billion under the stock repurchase program, both incremental to prior authorizations.

Table of Contents

Johnson Controls spent approximately $1.362 billion on stock repurchases in fiscal year 2015 and $1.249 billion in fiscal year 2014 and would expect any repurchases during the second half of fiscal year 2016 to be generally consistent in amounts and manner of repurchase with its repurchases during the second half of fiscal year 2015. Approximately $1.039 billion worth of shares of Johnson Controls common stock may be repurchased under the Johnson Controls board of directors' current authorization. However, under the merger agreement, Johnson Controls must obtain Tyco's prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to repurchase shares for an aggregate amount greater than $500 million.

After consummation of the merger, Johnson Controls shareholders and Tyco shareholders are expected to own approximately 56% and 44%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the combined company. For purposes of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the expected ownership percentages of the outstanding combined company ordinary shares to be owned by former Johnson Controls and Tyco shareholders immediately after the consummation of the merger are presented assuming that Johnson Controls repurchases $500 million of its common stock pursuant to its previously announced share repurchase plan, and in accordance with the timeline contemplated thereby, prior to the closing date of the merger.

Stock repurchases under Johnson Controls' stock repurchase program may be made through open market, privately negotiated, or structured transactions or otherwise at times and in such amounts as Company management deems appropriate. Johnson Controls is under no obligation to repurchase any shares of its common stock under the stock repurchase program and the timing, actual number and value of shares that are repurchased by Johnson Controls under this program will depend on a number of factors, including Johnson Controls' future financial performance and available cash resources, competing uses for its corporate funds, prevailing market prices of its common stock and the number of shares that become available for sale at prices that Johnson Controls believes are attractive.

The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date, but Johnson Controls may elect to suspend stock repurchases at any time or from time to time, or to terminate the program prior to the repurchase of all of the shares of Johnson Controls common stock authorized for repurchase under this program. Accordingly, there is no assurance that any additional shares of Johnson Controls common stock will be repurchased under this program.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Financing

In connection with the merger, the Borrower, is expected to enter into the Tyco term loan facility in the amount of $4.0 billion with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, to finance the cash consideration for the merger and fees, expenses and costs incurred in connection with the merger. Neither Tyco, nor any other direct or indirect parent of the Borrower, will be a borrower under, or guarantor of, the Tyco term loan facility. The Tyco term loan facility is being provided to and arranged for the Borrower on the basis of its properties, assets and credit only, and will not be guaranteed, or otherwise supported, directly or indirectly, by the legacy Johnson Controls entities, properties, assets or credit.

The credit agreement in respect of the Tyco term loan facility was executed on March 10, 2016. The closing of the Tyco term loan facility remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions contained therein, including the consummation of the merger in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement.

The Borrower may prepay the Tyco term loan facility, in whole or in part, at any time without fee or penalty, except for breakage costs associated with LIBOR borrowings. Borrowings under the Tyco term loan facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Borrower, (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin based on, at any time of determination, the total leverage ratio of the Borrower, or (2) an alternate base rate equal to the highest of (i) Citibank, N.A.'s prime rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1%, in each case plus an applicable margin based on, at any time of determination, the total leverage ratio of the Borrower.

The Tyco term loan facility will contain representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, including a financial covenant, and events of default, that Tyco believes are usual and customary for credit agreements of this type. Tyco expects that such representations and warranties, covenants and events of default will be substantially similar to the representations and warranties, covenants and events of default under its existing senior unsecured revolving credit facility, except that the representations and warranties, covenants and events of default in the new Tyco credit facility will apply only to the Borrower and its subsidiaries and not to Tyco International plc, the direct or other indirect parent companies of the Borrower or any other subsidiaries of each of them (including Johnson Controls and its subsidiaries).

Table of Contents

U.S. GAAP requires that one of Johnson Controls or Tyco be designated as the acquirer for accounting purposes based on the evidence available. Johnson Controls will be treated as the acquiring entity for accounting purposes. In identifying Johnson Controls as the acquiring entity, the companies took into account the structure of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, relative outstanding share ownership, the composition of the combined company board of directors and the designation of certain senior management positions of the combined company. Accordingly, the historical financial statements of Johnson Controls will become the historical financial statements of the combined company.

The allocation of purchase price reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements is based on preliminary estimates using assumptions Tyco management and Johnson Controls management believe are reasonable based on currently available information. The final purchase price and fair value assessment of assets and liabilities will be based in part on a detailed valuation that has not yet been completed.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT

This section describes certain terms of the merger agreement. The description in this section and elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the merger agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A and is incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus. This summary does not purport to be complete and may not provide all of the information about the merger agreement that might be important to you in determining how to vote. You are urged to read the merger agreement carefully and in its entirety.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Explanatory Note Regarding the Merger Agreement

The merger agreement and this summary are included solely to provide you with information regarding its terms. The representations, warranties and covenants made in the merger agreement by Johnson Controls, Tyco and Merger Sub were made solely for the purposes of the merger agreement and as of specific dates and were qualified and subject to important limitations agreed to by Johnson Controls, Tyco and Merger Sub in connection with negotiating the terms of the merger agreement. In particular, in your review of the representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement and described in this summary, it is important to bear in mind that the representations and warranties were negotiated with the principal purposes of establishing the circumstances in which a party to the merger agreement may have the right not to consummate the merger if the representations and warranties of the other party prove to be untrue due to a change in circumstance or otherwise, and allocating risk between the parties to the merger agreement, rather than establishing matters as facts. The representations and warranties may also be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to shareholders and reports and documents filed with the SEC, are qualified by certain matters contained in certain reports publicly filed with the SEC, and in some cases were qualified by the matters contained in the respective disclosure letters that Johnson Controls and Tyco delivered to each other in connection with the merger agreement, which disclosures were not included in the merger agreement attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties, which do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, may have changed since the date of the merger agreement. Accordingly, the representations and warranties and other provisions of the merger agreement should not be read alone, but instead should be read together with the information provided elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus, and reports, statements and filings that Johnson Controls and Tyco file with the SEC from time to time. See " Where You Can Find More Information ."

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Merger

Under the terms of the merger agreement, the businesses of Johnson Controls and Tyco will be combined under a single company. The merger is structured as a "reverse merger," in which Johnson Controls will merge with an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Tyco, with Tyco being the parent entity of the combined company. Specifically, pursuant to the merger agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Johnson Controls, with Johnson Controls surviving the merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Tyco. Following the merger, Tyco will change its name to "Johnson Controls plc" (subject to the approval of the Registrar of Companies in Ireland) and is referred to as the "combined company."

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Closing and Effective Time of the Merger

Unless otherwise mutually agreed to by Johnson Controls and Tyco, the closing of the merger will take place at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the business day after the satisfaction or waiver of the last of the conditions to the consummation of the merger (other than any such conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the closing of the merger, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) (described under " Conditions to the Consummation of the Merger "). The merger will be effective when Tyco and Johnson Controls duly file articles of merger with the Department of Financial Institutions of the State of Wisconsin, or at such later time and date as specified in the articles of merger. The time at which the merger becomes effective is referred to as the "effective time of the merger."

Assuming timely satisfaction of the necessary closing conditions, the closing of the merger is expected to occur by the end of fiscal year 2016. However, as the merger is subject to various regulatory approvals and the satisfaction or waiver of other conditions described in the merger agreement, it is possible that factors outside the control of Johnson Controls and Tyco could result in the merger being consummated at a later time or not at all.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Consideration to be Received by Johnson Controls Shareholders

The merger consideration will be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Johnson Controls common stock or Tyco ordinary shares, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the number of shares of Johnson Controls common stock or Tyco ordinary shares outstanding after the date of the merger agreement and prior to the effective time of the merger (in each case, other than the Tyco share consolidation).

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Election Materials and Procedures

An election form will be mailed to each holder of record of Johnson Controls common stock as of the record date for the Johnson Controls special meeting. Johnson Controls will make available one or more election forms as may reasonably be requested from time to time by all persons who become holders (or beneficial owners) of Johnson Controls common stock between the record date for the Johnson Controls special meeting and the close of business on the business day prior to the election deadline.

Each election form will permit the holder to specify the number of such holder's shares of Johnson Controls common stock with respect to which such holder makes a (i) cash election and (ii) share election. Any holder of Johnson Controls common stock who does not properly make an election, or whose election is not received by the exchange agent (as defined below) prior to the election deadline in the manner provided in the merger agreement, will be deemed to have made a share election.

the cash election and the share election are subject to proration and adjustment procedures as described below under " Proration ."

Any election form may be revoked or changed by the authorized person properly submitting such election form, by written notice received by the exchange agent prior to the election deadline accompanied by a properly completed and signed revised election form. In the event an election form is revoked prior to the election deadline, the holder of such shares of Johnson Controls common stock will be deemed to have made a share election, except to the extent a subsequent election is properly made with respect to any or all of such holder's shares of Johnson Controls common stock prior to the election deadline.

Subject to the terms of the merger agreement and the election form, the exchange agent shall have reasonable discretion as to whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made, and if the exchange agent determines in its reasonable discretion that any election is not properly made with respect to any shares of Johnson Controls common stock, then such election will be deemed to be not in effect. None of the parties nor the exchange agent are under any obligation to notify any person of any defect in an election form.

If you are a Johnson Controls shareholder and you do not make an election to receive share consideration or cash consideration in the merger or your elections are not received by the exchange agent by the election deadline, or your forms of election are improperly completed and/or are not signed, your shares will be treated as share electing shares under the merger agreement.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Proration

Under the merger agreement, elections by Johnson Controls shareholders will be prorated so that Johnson Controls shareholders will receive in the aggregate $3,863,939,539 in cash in the merger (referred to as the "aggregate cash consideration").

If the aggregate number of cash electing shares multiplied by the $34.88 per share cash consideration (the "cash election amount") is equal to the aggregate cash consideration, then:

However, if the cash election amount exceeds or is less than the aggregate cash consideration, then certain adjustments will be made to the merger consideration to be paid to Johnson Controls shareholders, in the manner described below.

If the cash election amount exceeds the aggregate cash consideration, then with respect to each Johnson Controls shareholder:

Assuming for the purposes of this example that 150,000,000 shares of Johnson Controls common stock are cash electing shares, then the aggregate cash election amount would be $5,232,000,000 (150,000,000 multiplied by $34.88), which is higher than the aggregate cash consideration. As a result, a Johnson Controls shareholder making a cash election with respect to 1,000 shares of Johnson Controls common stock would receive:

If the cash election amount is less than the aggregate cash consideration, then with respect to each Johnson Controls shareholder:

Assuming for the purposes of this example that:

then the cash election amount would be $1,744,000,000 (50,000,000 multiplied by $34.88), which is lower than the aggregate cash consideration. As a result, a Johnson Controls shareholder making a share election with respect to 1,000 shares of Johnson Controls common stock would receive:

The mix of consideration payable to Johnson Controls shareholders who make the cash election or the share election will not be known until the results of the elections made by Johnson Controls shareholders are tallied. The greater the oversubscription of the cash election, the less cash and more combined company ordinary shares a Johnson Controls shareholder making the cash election will receive. Reciprocally, the greater the oversubscription of the share election, the fewer shares and the more cash a Johnson Controls shareholder making the cash election will receive.

If you are considering making an election for the merger consideration, your attention is drawn to the risk factors set forth in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, you are strongly recommended to obtain your own personal financial advice immediately from your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other appropriate independent financial adviser, who, if you are taking advice in Ireland, is duly authorized or exempted pursuant to the European Communities (Markets in Financial Instruments) Regulations 2007 or the Investment Intermediaries Act 1995 (as amended), or, if you are taking advice in the United Kingdom, is duly authorized under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 of the United Kingdom or, if you are taking advice elsewhere, from another appropriately authorized independent financial adviser.

Prior to the effective time of the merger, Tyco International Finance S.A., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Tyco ("TIFSA"), or Merger Sub will designate a bank or trust company that is reasonably satisfactory to Johnson Controls to act as the exchange agent in connection with the merger (such agent is referred to as the "exchange agent"). On or prior to the closing date, TIFSA or Merger Sub will deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the exchange agent:

As soon as reasonably practicable after the effective time of the merger (but in no event more than three business days following the effective time of the merger), Tyco will cause the exchange agent to send transmittal materials to holders of record of shares of Johnson Controls common stock, which will include a letter of transmittal and instructions on how to effect the surrender of shares of Johnson Controls common stock in exchange for the merger consideration which such shares of Johnson Controls common stock have been converted into the right to receive.

When a Johnson Controls shareholder surrenders his or her Johnson Controls common stock and delivers a properly executed letter of transmittal and any other documents as may reasonably be required by the exchange agent, such holder of Johnson Controls common stock will be entitled to receive:

Johnson Controls and Tyco have also agreed to take any and all actions as may be necessary or advisable to obtain the expiration or termination of any waiting period or any consents, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations or orders required under any antitrust or foreign investment law as promptly as reasonably practicable and to resolve objections, if any, under any such law as promptly as reasonably practicable, including, in each case, agreeing to any terms, conditions or modifications. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Johnson Controls nor Tyco will be required to take, or will take without the prior written consent of the other party, any such actions that would result in, or would be reasonably likely to result in, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the business, the results of operations or the condition (financial or otherwise) of either party immediately prior to the merger. In addition, none of Johnson Controls, Tyco or their respective subsidiaries are required to take or agree to take any action with respect to its business or operations unless the effectiveness of such agreement or action is conditioned on the closing of the merger.

CERTAIN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a general discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of: (i) the Tyco share consolidation to U.S. holders and non-U.S. holders (each as defined below) of Tyco ordinary shares, (ii) the merger to U.S. holders and non-U.S. holders of Johnson Controls common stock, and (iii) the ownership and disposition of combined company ordinary shares received by U.S. holders and non-U.S. holders of Johnson Controls common stock in the merger. This discussion is based on provisions of the Code, the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (whether final, temporary or proposed), administrative rulings of the IRS, judicial decisions, and the income tax treaty between Ireland and the United States (the "Ireland-U.S. tax treaty"), all as in effect on the date hereof, and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such change or differing interpretation could affect the accuracy of the statements and conclusions set forth herein. This discussion is for general purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax considerations that may apply to holders as a result of the Tyco share consolidation, the merger, or as a result of the ownership and disposition of shares of the combined company. In addition, this discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular holders, nor does it take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such holder. Accordingly, it is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, tax advice. This discussion does not address the U.S. federal 3.8% Medicare tax imposed on certain net investment income, any withholding required pursuant to the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2010 (including the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and intergovernmental agreements entered into in connection therewith) or any aspects of U.S. federal taxation other than those pertaining to the income tax, nor does it address any tax consequences arising under any U.S. state and local, or non-U.S., tax laws. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding such tax consequences in light of their particular circumstances. No ruling has been requested or will be obtained from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger or any other related matter; thus, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the U.S. federal income tax treatment described below or that, if challenged, such treatment will be sustained by a court.

This discussion is limited to U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to U.S. holders and non-U.S. holders that hold Johnson Controls common stock or Tyco ordinary shares, and, after the closing of the merger, combined company ordinary shares, as "capital assets" within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to particular holders in light of their individual circumstances, including holders subject to special treatment under the U.S. tax laws, such as, for example:

Table of Contents

For the purposes of this discussion, the term "U.S. holder" means a beneficial owner of Johnson Controls common stock or Tyco ordinary shares, and, after the merger, combined company ordinary shares received in the merger, that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

For purposes of this discussion, a "non-U.S. holder" means a beneficial owner of Johnson Controls common stock or Tyco ordinary shares, and, after the merger, combined company ordinary shares received in the merger, that is neither a U.S. holder nor a partnership (or an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If a partnership, including for this purpose any entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holds Johnson Controls common stock or Tyco ordinary shares and, after the closing of the merger, combined company ordinary shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in such partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder that is a partnership and the partners in such partnership should consult their tax advisors with regard to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Tyco share consolidation, the merger and the subsequent ownership and disposition of combined company ordinary shares received in the merger.

THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OR DESCRIPTION OF ALL POTENTIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE TYCO SHARE CONSOLIDATION, THE MERGER OR THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF ORDINARY SHARES OF THE COMBINED COMPANY RECEIVED IN THE MERGER. JOHNSON CONTROLS SHAREHOLDERS AND TYCO SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE MERGER, THE TYCO SHARE CONSOLIDATION, AND THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF ORDINARY SHARES OF THE COMBINED COMPANY RECEIVED IN THE MERGER, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND OTHER TAX LAWS.

Under current U.S. federal tax law, a corporation is generally considered for U.S. federal income tax purposes to be a tax resident in the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation. Accordingly, under the generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rules, the combined company, which is incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Ireland, would be classified as a non-U.S. corporation (and, therefore, not a U.S. tax resident) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Section 7874 provides an exception to this general rule (more fully discussed below), under which a non-U.S. incorporated entity may, in certain circumstances, be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes. These rules are relatively new and complex and there is limited guidance regarding their application, and they are currently the subject of regulatory change as announced by the U.S. Treasury and the IRS in recent notices.

Under Section 7874, a corporation created or organized outside the United States ( i.e. , a non-U.S. corporation) will nevertheless be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and, therefore, as a U.S. tax resident subject to U.S. federal income tax on its worldwide income) if each of the following three conditions are met: (i) the non-U.S. corporation, directly or indirectly, acquires substantially all of the properties held directly or indirectly by a U.S. corporation (including through the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of the U.S. corporation), (ii) the non-U.S. corporation's "expanded affiliated group" does not have "substantial business activities" in the non-U.S. corporation's country of organization or incorporation and tax residence relative to the expanded affiliated group's worldwide activities and (iii) after the acquisition, the former shareholders of the acquired U.S. corporation hold at least 80% (by either vote or value) of the shares of the non-U.S. acquiring corporation by reason of holding shares in the U.S. acquired corporation (taking into account the receipt of the non-U.S. corporation's shares in exchange for the U.S. corporation's shares) as determined for purposes of Section 7874 (this test is referred to as the "80% ownership test").

For purposes of Section 7874, the first two conditions described above will be met with respect to the merger, because Tyco will acquire indirectly all of the assets of Johnson Controls through the merger, and the combined company, including its "expanded affiliated group," is not expected to have "substantial business activities" in Ireland within the meaning of Section 7874 upon consummation of the merger. As a result, whether Section 7874 will apply to cause Tyco to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes following the merger should depend on the satisfaction of the 80% ownership test.

Based on the terms of the merger, Johnson Controls shareholders are expected to own less than 80% (by both vote and value) of the ordinary shares of the combined company following the merger by reason of holding Johnson Controls common stock. However, ownership for purposes of Section 7874 is subject to various adjustments under the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and there is limited guidance regarding Section 7874, including with respect to the application of the 80% ownership test. As a result, the Section 7874 ownership percentage is subject to factual and legal uncertainties. Thus, there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with the position that the combined company should not be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes.

Moreover, the U.S. Treasury and the IRS have recently issued two notices announcing their intention to issue additional regulations under Section 7874. The regulations described in these notices would, among other things, require certain adjustments that generally increase, for purposes of the Section 7874 ownership tests, the percentage of the stock of the acquiring non-U.S. corporation deemed owned (within the meaning of Section 7874) by the former shareholders of the acquired U.S. corporation by reason of holding stock in such U.S. corporation. For example, these regulations would disregard, for purposes of determining the Section 7874 ownership percentage, any "non-ordinary course distributions" made by the acquired U.S. corporation during the 36 months preceding the

merger, including certain dividends and share repurchases, as well as potentially any cash consideration received by the shareholders of the acquired U.S. corporation in the acquisition to the extent such cash is, directly or indirectly, provided by the U.S. corporation. Such U.S. Treasury regulations have not yet been issued and, until they are issued, their precise scope, application and effect will remain unclear. Such U.S. Treasury regulations will apply to the merger even if enacted after the merger is consummated and may have the effect of increasing the Section 7874 ownership percentage of the Johnson Controls shareholders.

Based on the terms of the merger, the rules for determining share ownership under Section 7874 and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, the anticipated effect of the future regulations described above and based upon certain factual assumptions, it is currently expected that the Section 7874 ownership percentage of the Johnson Controls shareholders in the combined company should be less than 80% and that accordingly the combined company is not expected to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes. However, whether the 80% ownership test has been satisfied must be finally determined at completion of the merger, by which time there could be adverse changes to the relevant rules and relevant facts and circumstances. In addition, as discussed above, the rules for determining ownership under Section 7874 are complex, unclear and the subject of ongoing regulatory change and there can be no assurance that the IRS would not assert that the 80% ownership test is met with respect to the merger and that accordingly the combined company should be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes or that such an assertion would not be sustained by a court.

In addition, any changes to the rules of Section 7874 or the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, or other changes of law, which could be made retroactively effective, could adversely affect the combined company's status as a non-U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As described above under " Risk FactorsRisks Related to the Business of the Combined Company ," several recent legislative and other proposals have aimed to expand the scope of U.S. corporate tax residence generally or Section 7874, or otherwise address certain perceived issues arising in connection with so-called inversion transactions. Certain of these proposals, if enacted in their proposed form either prior to the closing of the merger or if made retroactively effective to transactions completed during the period that the merger occurs, would cause the combined company to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes. It is presently uncertain whether any such proposals or other legislation or regulatory action relating to U.S. corporate tax residence, Section 7874 or so-called inversion transactions will be enacted or adopted and, if so, what impact such proposals, legislation or regulatory action would have on the combined company. Thus, there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with the position that the combined company should be treated as a non-U.S. corporation following the merger.

If the combined company were to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes, it could be subject to substantial liability for additional U.S. income taxes. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the combined company will not be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 7874.

Following the acquisition of a U.S. corporation by a non-U.S. corporation, Section 7874 can limit the ability of the acquired U.S. corporation and its U.S. affiliates to utilize certain U.S. tax attributes (including net operating losses and certain tax credits) to offset U.S. taxable income resulting from certain transactions. These limitations will potentially apply if (i) the non-U.S. corporation acquires, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the properties held, directly or indirectly, by the U.S. corporation (including through the direct or indirect acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of the U.S. corporation), (ii) after the acquisition, the non-U.S. corporation's "expanded affiliated group"

does not have "substantial business" activities in the non-U.S. corporation's country of organization or incorporation and tax residence relative to the expanded affiliated group's worldwide activities (as determined under the Treasury regulations), and (iii) after the acquisition, the former shareholders of the acquired U.S. corporation hold less than 80% but at least 60% (by either vote or value) of the shares of the non-U.S. acquiring corporation by reason of holding shares in the U.S. acquired corporation (taking into account the receipt of the non-U.S. corporation's shares in exchange for the U.S. corporation's shares) as determined for purposes of the 60% ownership test. If each of these conditions is met, then the taxable income of the U.S. corporation (and any U.S. person related to the U.S. corporation) for any given year, within a period beginning on the first date the U.S. corporation's properties were acquired directly or indirectly by the non-U.S. acquiring corporation and ending 10 years after the last date the U.S. corporation's properties were acquired, will be no less than that person's "inversion gain" for that taxable year. A person's inversion gain includes gain from the transfer of shares or any other property (other than property held for sale to customers) and income from the license of any property that is either transferred or licensed as part of the acquisition or after the acquisition to a non-U.S. related person. In addition, the U.S. Treasury and the IRS have announced in the notices that they intend to promulgate new rules, which, once enacted, would broaden the definition of "inversion gain" to, among other things, include income or gain recognized by reason of certain transfers of property by certain foreign affiliates, and may limit the ability to restructure the non-U.S. members of the U.S. corporation's group or access cash earned by the U.S. corporation's non-U.S. subsidiaries, in each case without incurring substantial U.S. tax liabilities.

Based on the terms of the merger, the rules for determining share ownership under Section 7874 and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, the anticipated effect of the future regulations described above under " Tax Residence of the Combined Company for U.S. Federal Tax Purposes " and based upon certain factual assumptions, it is currently expected that the Section 7874 ownership percentage of the Johnson Controls shareholders in the combined company should be less than 60% and that accordingly the limitations and other rules described above should not apply to Johnson Controls and its U.S. affiliates (including the U.S. affiliates historically owned by Tyco) after the merger. However, whether the 60% ownership test has been satisfied must be finally determined at consummation of the merger, by which time there could be adverse changes to the relevant rules and relevant facts and circumstances. In addition, as discussed above under " Tax Residence of the Combined Company for U.S. Federal Tax Purposes ," the rules for determining ownership under Section 7874 are complex, unclear and the subject of ongoing regulatory change and there can be no assurance that the IRS would not assert that the 60% ownership test is met with respect to the merger and that accordingly the foregoing limitations and rules would apply or that such an assertion would not be sustained by a court.

If the IRS were to successfully assert that the 60% ownership test has been met, the ability of Johnson Controls and its U.S. affiliates (including the U.S. affiliates historically owned by Tyco) to utilize certain U.S. tax attributes against income or gain recognized pursuant to certain transactions, including certain transactions expected to be undertaken in connection with the contemplated spin-off, may be limited. In such case, Johnson Controls and its U.S. affiliates (including the U.S. affiliates historically owned by Tyco) could be subject to substantial additional U.S. federal income tax liability. In addition, the ability of the combined company to restructure or access cash earned by its non-U.S. subsidiaries without significant U.S. tax liability may be limited.

received pursuant to the Tyco share consolidation (including any fractional combined company ordinary shares deemed received as discussed below) should equal the aggregate tax basis in such U.S. holder's Tyco ordinary shares immediately prior to the Tyco share consolidation, and such U.S. holder's holding period for the ordinary shares received in the Tyco share consolidation (including any fractional combined company ordinary shares deemed received as discussed below) should include the holding period for the Tyco ordinary shares surrendered. In the case of a U.S. holder that acquired different blocks of Tyco ordinary shares at different times and at different prices, Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code provide detailed rules for allocating the tax basis and holding period of Tyco ordinary shares surrendered to the combined company ordinary shares received pursuant to the Tyco share consolidation. U.S. holders that acquired different blocks of Tyco ordinary shares at different times and at different prices should consult their tax advisors regarding the allocation of the tax basis and holding period of such shares to particular combined company ordinary shares received in the Tyco share consolidation.

A U.S. holder who receives cash in lieu of a fractional combined company ordinary share pursuant to the Tyco share consolidation generally should be treated as having received such fractional ordinary share and then as having received such cash upon a sale or exchange of such fractional ordinary share. Such U.S. holder should generally recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount of cash received in lieu of such fractional combined company ordinary share and (ii) the portion of the U.S. holder's aggregate tax basis in the Tyco ordinary shares surrendered that is allocable to such fractional share. Such capital gain or loss generally should be long term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder's holding period for the Tyco ordinary shares surrendered exceeds one year at the effective time of the Tyco share consolidation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Information reporting and backup withholding may also apply as described below under " Information Reporting and Backup Withholding ."

Subject to the discussion below under " Information Reporting and Backup Withholding ," non-U.S. holders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax as a result of the Tyco share consolidation, except for any gain realized on the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional combined company ordinary shares if:

Unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise, any gain described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax in the same manner as if such holder were a U.S. person, as described above under " U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Tyco Share Consolidation to Tyco ShareholdersU.S. Holders ." A non-U.S. holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, as adjusted for certain items. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger to Johnson Controls Shareholders

The receipt of combined company ordinary shares and/or cash in exchange for Johnson Controls common stock pursuant to the merger will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Subject to the discussion below relating to the potential application of Section 304 of the Code under " Potential Distribution Treatment Under Section 304 of the Code ," a U.S. holder of shares of Johnson Controls common stock that exchanges such shares for combined company ordinary shares and/or cash in the merger will generally recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the fair market value of the combined company ordinary shares and the amount of cash (including any cash received in lieu of fractional ordinary shares of the combined company) received in the merger and (ii) the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the shares of Johnson Controls common stock surrendered in exchange therefor. Such gain or loss must be determined separately for each separate block of shares of Johnson Controls common stock held by such U.S. holder ( i.e. , shares acquired at different times and at different prices).

Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder upon the exchange of shares of Johnson Controls common stock for combined company ordinary shares and/or cash (including any cash in lieu of fractional combined company ordinary shares) generally will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder's holding period in its shares of Johnson Controls common stock is more than one year on the closing date of the merger. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals) generally are eligible for preferential U.S. federal income tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

A U.S. holder's initial tax basis in the combined company ordinary shares received in the merger will equal the fair market value of such shares and a U.S. holder's holding period for such shares will commence on the day following the day on which the merger occurs.

All U.S. holders are urged to consult their advisors as to the particular consequences of the exchange of Johnson Controls common stock for combined company ordinary shares pursuant to the merger.

Information reporting and backup withholding may also apply as described below under " Information Reporting and Backup Withholding ."

The receipt of consideration by holders of Johnson Controls common stock in the merger may be subject to Section 304 of the Code. As a result, and as further described below, instead of recognizing taxable gain or loss as described above, a holder of Johnson Controls common stock whose percentage ownership interest in the combined company (including by attribution) immediately after the merger is not lower than its percentage ownership interest in Johnson Controls (including by attribution) prior to the merger by an amount that satisfies the "substantially disproportionate" or "not essentially equivalent to a dividend" tests described below, may recognize dividend income in an amount up to the sum of the fair market value of the combined company ordinary shares and the amount of cash received in the merger, regardless of its gain realized in the merger. The ownership percentage of a holder in the combined company after the merger will be determined after taking into account sales (or purchases) of combined company ordinary shares made by such holder (or by persons whose shares are attributed to the holder) in connection with the merger.

The dividend treatment under Section 304 only applies if a holder's receipt of combined company ordinary shares and/or cash (including cash in lieu of fractional combined company ordinary shares) in exchange for its Johnson Controls common stock in the merger is not "substantially disproportionate" with respect to such holder, or is "essentially equivalent to a dividend." As discussed below, that determination generally requires a comparison of (x) the percentage of the outstanding Johnson Controls stock that the holder is deemed actually and constructively to have owned immediately before the merger and (y) the percentage of the outstanding Johnson Controls stock that is actually and constructively owned by the holder immediately after the merger (including indirectly as a result of owning stock in the combined company and taking into account any shares of the combined company otherwise acquired in connection with the merger).

The merger will generally result in a "substantially disproportionate" exchange with respect to a holder if the percentage described in (y) above is less than 80% of the percentage described in (x) above. Whether the merger results in an exchange that is "not essentially equivalent to a dividend" with respect to a holder will depend on such holder's particular circumstances. At a minimum, however, for the merger to be "not essentially equivalent to a dividend," it must result in a "meaningful reduction" in the holder's deemed percentage stock ownership of Johnson Controls, as determined by comparing the percentage described in (y) above to the percentage described in (x) above. The IRS has indicated in a revenue ruling that a minority shareholder in a publicly traded corporation will experience a "meaningful reduction" if the minority shareholder (i) has a minimal percentage stock interest, (ii) exercises no control over corporate affairs and (iii) experiences any reduction in its percentage stock interest.

In applying the above tests, a holder may, under constructive ownership rules, be deemed to own stock that is owned by other persons or stock underlying a holder's option to purchase stock in addition to the stock actually owned by the holder. In addition, as noted above, in applying the "substantially disproportionate" and "not essentially equivalent to a dividend" tests to a holder, sales (or purchases) of combined company ordinary shares made by such holder (or by persons whose shares are attributed to the holder) in connection with the merger will be taken into account. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of these tests to them in light of their particular circumstances.

If, as described above, a U.S. holder is treated as receiving a distribution under Section 304 of the Code in the merger, such distribution will be taxable as a dividend to the extent of such U.S. holder's allocable share of the current and accumulated earnings and profits of Johnson Controls for the taxable year of the merger. Non-corporate U.S. holders may be eligible for a reduced rate of taxation on deemed dividends arising under Section 304, subject to exceptions for short-term and hedged positions. To the extent that a corporate U.S. holder of Johnson Controls common stock is treated as having received a dividend as a result of Section 304, such dividend may constitute an "extraordinary dividend" within the meaning of Section 1059 of the Code. Corporate U.S. holders of Johnson Controls common stock should consult their own tax advisors as to the consequences of receiving such an "extraordinary dividend" in light of their particular circumstances.

To the extent that the amount of any distribution under Section 304 exceeds a U.S. holder's allocable share of the current and accumulated earnings and profits of Johnson Controls for the taxable year of the merger, such excess will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital up to an amount equal to the amount of such U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in its Johnson Controls common stock prior to the merger (causing a reduction, but not below zero, in such adjusted tax basis), and thereafter as capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange of the U.S. holder's common stock. The amount of any such gain will be taxed as described above under " US. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger to Holders of Johnson Controls common stockU.S. Holders ."

Section 304 and the regulations and guidance thereunder are complex and their application to the present case is unclear. A U.S. holder that actually or constructively owns both Johnson Controls common

stock and Tyco ordinary shares, or that purchases or sells combined company ordinary shares in connection with the merger, should consult its own tax advisors with respect to the application of Section 304 in light of such holder's particular circumstances (including as to its tax basis in the shares subject to Section 304). A U.S. holder of Johnson Controls common stock that also owns Tyco ordinary shares should consult its own tax advisors regarding the possible desirability of selling its shares in either Johnson Controls or Tyco prior to the merger or in the combined company immediately after the merger.

Subject to the discussion below relating to the potential application of Section 304 of the Code under " Potential Distribution Treatment Under Section 304 of the Code ," and subject to the discussion below under " Information Reporting and Backup Withholding ," a non-U.S. holder that exchanges Johnson Controls common stock for combined company ordinary shares and/or cash in the merger generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on any gain recognized as a result of the merger unless:

Unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise, any gain described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax in the same manner as if such holder were a U.S. person, as described above under " U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger to Johnson Controls ShareholdersU.S. Holders ." A non-U.S. holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, as adjusted for certain items. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Any gain described in the second bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty), but may be offset by U.S.-source capital losses of the non-U.S. holder, if any, provided that the holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.

However, as described below under " Potential Distribution Treatment Under Section 304 of the Code ," certain non-U.S. holders may be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a 30% rate on all or a portion of the consideration received in the merger. As a result, withholding agents may withhold at a 30% rate against all non-U.S. holders, unless a withholding agent has established special procedures allowing non-U.S. holders that are exempt from such withholding tax (or eligible for a reduced rate under an applicable income tax treaty) to certify their exemption to the withholding agent. If a withholding agent withholds a portion of the merger consideration payable to a non-U.S. holder that is exempt from such withholding, the non-U.S. holder may apply for a refund.

Information reporting and backup withholding may also apply as described below under " Information Reporting and Backup Withholding ."

As discussed above under " U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger to Johnson Controls ShareholdersU.S. HoldersPotential Distribution Treatment Under Section 304 of the Code ," the receipt of merger consideration by holders of Johnson Controls common stock may be subject to Section 304 of the Code.

certain non-U.S. holders of Johnson Controls common stock may be treated as receiving a dividend in an amount up to the sum of the fair market value of the combined company ordinary shares and the amount of cash received in the merger, regardless of the gain realized in the merger. The payment of any portion of the merger consideration that is treated as a dividend to a non-U.S. holder of Johnson Controls common stock generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a 30% rate (or such lower rate as may be specified under an applicable U.S. income tax treaty). The payment of any such amounts may also be subject to other withholding, and the applicable withholding agent may reduce consideration paid in the merger to pay any withholding tax. Because it is not possible to determine the amount of Johnson Controls' current and accumulated earnings and profits until the end of the taxable year in which the merger occurs, withholding at the rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) will generally be imposed on the gross amount of any merger consideration treated as a distribution to a non-U.S. holder. In order to obtain a reduced rate of withholding under a tax treaty, a non-U.S. holder claiming such reduced rates will be required to deliver a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or other applicable IRS form to the applicable withholding agent before the consideration is paid pursuant to the merger. Non-U.S. holders may seek a refund from the IRS of any over withheld amounts.

Section 304 and the regulations and guidance thereunder are complex and their application in the present case is unclear. A non-U.S. holder that actually or constructively owns both Johnson Controls common stock and Tyco ordinary shares, or that purchases or sells combined company ordinary shares in connection with the merger, should consult its own tax advisors with respect to the application of Section 304 in light of such holder's particular circumstances. A non-U.S. holder of Johnson Controls common stock that also owns Tyco ordinary shares should consult its own tax advisors regarding the possible desirability of selling its shares in either Johnson Controls or Tyco prior to the merger or in the combined company immediately after the merger.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Ownership and Disposition of Shares of the Combined Company

The following is a discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of combined company ordinary shares to Johnson Controls shareholders who receive such combined company ordinary shares pursuant to the merger.

Subject to the discussion below under " Passive Foreign Investment Company Status ," the gross amount of any distribution on combined company ordinary shares that is made out of the combined company's current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) generally will be taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary dividend income on the date such distribution is actually or constructively received. Any such dividends paid to corporate U.S. holders generally will not qualify for the dividends-received deduction that may otherwise be allowed under the Code.

Distributions in excess of the combined company's current and accumulated earnings and profits for a taxable year will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. holder's basis in its combined company ordinary shares, and thereafter as capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange, as described below under " Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Other Taxable Disposition of Combined Company Ordinary Shares ."

Dividends received by non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals) from a "qualified foreign corporation" may be eligible for reduced rates of taxation, provided that certain holding period requirements and other conditions are satisfied. For these purposes, a non-U.S. corporation will be treated as a qualified foreign corporation if it is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax

treaty with the United States which is determined by the U.S. Treasury to be satisfactory for purposes of these rules and which includes an exchange of information provision. The U.S. Treasury has determined that the Ireland-U.S. tax treaty meets these requirements. A non-U.S. corporation is also treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends paid by that corporation on shares that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. U.S. Treasury guidance indicates that shares listed on the NYSE (which the combined company ordinary shares are expected to be) will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. There can be no assurance that the combined company ordinary shares will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in future years. Non-corporate U.S. holders that do not meet a minimum holding period requirement during which they are not protected from the risk of loss or that elect to treat the dividend income as "investment income" pursuant to Section 163(d)(4) of the Code (dealing with the deduction for investment interest expense) will not be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation regardless of the combined company's status as a qualified foreign corporation. In addition, the rate reduction will not apply to dividends if the recipient of a dividend is obligated to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. This disallowance applies even if the minimum holding period has been met. The combined company will not constitute a qualified foreign corporation for purposes of these rules if it is a passive foreign investment company (a "PFIC") for the taxable year in which it pays a dividend or for the preceding taxable year. See " Passive Foreign Investment Company Status ."

Subject to certain conditions and limitations, withholding taxes, if any, on dividends paid by the combined company may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against a U.S. holder's U.S. federal income tax liability under the U.S. foreign tax credit rules. For purposes of calculating the U.S. foreign tax credit, dividends paid on the combined company ordinary shares will generally be treated as income from sources outside the United States and will generally constitute passive category income. However, it is possible that the combined company will be at the closing of the merger or some time thereafter at least 50% owned by U.S. persons. Dividends paid by a foreign corporation that is at least 50% owned by U.S. persons may be treated as U.S. source income (rather than foreign source income) for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes to the extent that the foreign corporation has more than an insignificant amount of U.S. source income. The effect of this rule may be to treat a portion of any dividends paid by the combined company as U.S. source income. Treatment of the combined company dividends as U.S. source income in whole or in part may limit a U.S. holder's ability to claim a foreign tax credit with respect to foreign taxes payable or deemed payable in respect of such dividends or on other items of foreign source, passive income for U.S. federal foreign tax credit limitation purposes. The rules governing the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the U.S. foreign tax credit under particular circumstances.

Subject to the discussion below under " Passive Foreign Investment Company Status ," a U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss on any sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of combined company ordinary shares in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized on the disposition and (ii) such U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in such shares. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on a taxable disposition of combined company ordinary shares generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder's holding period in such shares exceeds one year at the time of the disposition. Preferential tax rates may apply to long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on the sale or exchange of combined company ordinary shares generally will be treated as U.S. source gain or loss.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply to a U.S. holder if the combined company is treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which such U.S. holder holds combined company ordinary shares. A non-U.S. corporation, such as the combined company, will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year in which, after the application of certain look-through rules, either (i) 75% or more of its gross income for such year is "passive income" (as defined in the relevant provisions of the Code) or (ii) 50% or more of the value of its assets (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) during such year produce or are held for the production of passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents, annuities, net gains from the sale or exchange of property producing such income and net foreign currency gains. The combined company is not expected to be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but this conclusion is a factual determination made annually and, thus, is subject to change.

If the combined company were to be treated as a PFIC, unless a U.S. holder elected to be taxed annually on a mark-to-market basis with respect to its combined company ordinary shares, gain realized on any sale or exchange of such combined company ordinary shares and certain distributions received with respect to such shares could be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes, plus an interest charge on certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. In addition, dividends received with respect to combined company ordinary shares would not constitute qualified dividend income eligible for preferential tax rates if the combined company is treated as a PFIC for the taxable year of the distribution or for its preceding taxable year. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to their investment in the shares of the combined company.

In general, a non-U.S. holder of combined company ordinary shares will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or, subject to the discussion below under " Information Reporting and Backup Withholding ," U.S. federal withholding tax on any dividends received on combined company ordinary shares or any gain recognized on a sale or other disposition of combined company ordinary shares (including any distribution to the extent it exceeds the adjusted basis in the non-U.S. holder's shares of the combined company) unless:

A non-U.S. holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, as adjusted for certain items. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

In general, information reporting requirements will apply to cash received by U.S. holders of Johnson Controls common stock and Tyco ordinary shares in the merger and the Tyco share consolidation (including cash in lieu of fractional combined company ordinary shares received by such U.S. holders), dividends received by U.S. holders of combined company ordinary shares, and the proceeds received on the disposition of combined company ordinary shares effected within the United States (and, in certain cases, outside the United States), in each case other than U.S. holders that are exempt recipients (such as corporations). Backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28%) may apply to such amounts if the U.S. holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number (generally on an IRS Form W-9 provided to the paying agent or the U.S. holder's broker) or is otherwise subject to backup withholding.

Certain U.S. holders holding specified foreign financial assets with an aggregate value in excess of the applicable dollar threshold are required to report information to the IRS relating to combined company ordinary shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for combined company ordinary shares held in accounts maintained by U.S. financial institutions), by attaching a complete IRS Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets, with their tax return, for each year in which they hold combined company ordinary shares. Such U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding information reporting requirements relating to their ownership of combined company ordinary shares.

Information returns may be filed with the IRS in connection with, and non-U.S. holders may be subject to backup withholding on, cash received by a non-U.S. holder in the merger or Tyco share consolidation (including cash in lieu of fractional combined company ordinary shares received by such non-U.S. holders), unless the non-U.S. holder furnishes to the applicable withholding agent the required certification as to its non-U.S. status, such as by providing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8ECI, or otherwise establishes an exemption. Dividends paid with respect to combined company ordinary shares and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of combined company ordinary shares received in the United States by a non-U.S. holder through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless such non-U.S. holder provides proof of an applicable exemption or complies with certain certification procedures described above, and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or credit against a holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Scope of Discussion

The following is a summary of the material Irish tax consequences of the merger to certain beneficial owners of Johnson Controls common stock and the ownership and disposal of combined company ordinary shares received upon the consummation of the merger by such owners. The summary does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to each of the Johnson Controls shareholders or combined company shareholders. The summary is based upon Irish tax laws and the practice of the Irish Revenue Commissioners in effect on the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus and correspondence with the Irish Revenue Commissioners. Changes in law and/or administrative practice may result in alteration of the tax considerations described below, possibly with retrospective effect.

Table of Contents

The summary does not constitute tax advice and is intended only as a general guide. The summary is not exhaustive and Johnson Controls shareholders or combined company shareholders should consult their tax advisors about the Irish tax consequences (and tax consequences under the laws of other relevant jurisdictions) of the merger and of the acquisition, ownership and disposal of combined company ordinary shares. The summary applies only to Johnson Controls shareholders or combined company shareholders who hold their Johnson Controls common stock, and will own combined company ordinary shares, as capital assets and does not apply to other categories of shareholders or shareholders, such as dealers in securities, trustees, insurance companies, collective investment schemes and shareholders or shareholders who acquired their Johnson Controls common stock or who have, or who are deemed to have, acquired their combined company ordinary shares by virtue of an Irish office or employment (performed or carried on in Ireland).

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Irish Tax on Chargeable Gains

The current rate of tax on chargeable gains (where applicable) in Ireland is 33%.

Johnson Controls shareholders that are not resident or ordinarily resident in Ireland for Irish tax purposes and do not hold their Johnson Controls common stock in connection with a trade carried on by such shareholders through an Irish branch or agency will not be within the charge to Irish CGT on the cancellation of their Johnson Controls common stock, or on the receipt of combined company ordinary shares and/or cash pursuant to the merger.

Any subsequent disposal of combined company ordinary shares will not be within the charge to Irish CGT provided the holder of such shares is not resident or ordinarily resident in Ireland for Irish tax purposes and does not hold his or her shares in connection with a trade carried on by such shareholder through an Irish branch or agency.

Johnson Controls shareholders that are resident or ordinarily resident in Ireland for Irish tax purposes, or Johnson Controls shareholders that hold their Johnson Controls common stock in connection with a trade carried on by such persons through an Irish branch or agency, will, subject to the availability of any exemptions and reliefs, generally be within the charge to Irish CGT arising on the cancellation of their Johnson Controls common stock pursuant to the merger. Such shareholders should consult their own tax advisors as to the Irish tax consequences of the merger.

A subsequent disposal of combined company ordinary shares by a shareholder who is resident or ordinarily resident in Ireland for Irish tax purposes or who holds his or her shares in connection with a trade carried on by such person through an Irish branch or agency will, subject to the availability of any exemptions and reliefs, generally be within the charge to Irish CGT.

A shareholder of the combined company who is an individual and who is temporarily not resident in Ireland may, under Irish anti-avoidance legislation, still be liable to Irish tax on any chargeable gain realized upon subsequent disposal of combined company ordinary shares during the period in which such individual is a non-resident.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Stamp Duty

The rate of stamp duty (where applicable) on transfers of shares of Irish incorporated companies is 1% of the price paid or the market value of the shares acquired, whichever is greater. Where Irish stamp duty arises it is generally a liability of the transferee.

225

ZEQ.=2,SEQ=240,EFW="2227993",CP="TYCO INTERNATIONAL PLC",DN="1",CHK=346561,FOLIO='225',FILE='DISK126:[16ZAU1.16ZAU44401]DA44401A.;13',USER='OALBERT',CD=';4-APR-2016;13:14'

Table of Contents

No stamp duty should be payable on the cancellation of the Johnson Controls common stock or the issue of combined company ordinary shares pursuant to the merger.

Irish stamp duty may, depending on the manner in which the shares in the combined company are held, be payable in respect of transfers of combined company ordinary shares.

A transfer of combined company ordinary shares effected by means of the transfer of book-entry interests in DTC will not be subject to Irish stamp duty. On the basis that most ordinary shares of the combined company are expected to be held through DTC, it is anticipated that most transfers of ordinary shares will be exempt from Irish stamp duty.

A transfer of combined company ordinary shares where any party to the transfer holds such shares outside of DTC may be subject to Irish stamp duty. Shareholders wishing to transfer their shares into (or out of) DTC may do so without giving rise to Irish stamp duty provided that:

Due to the potential Irish stamp charge on transfers of combined company ordinary shares held outside of DTC, it is strongly recommended that those Johnson Controls shareholders who do not hold their Johnson Controls common stock through DTC (or through a broker who in turn holds such shares through DTC) should arrange for the transfer of their Johnson Controls common stock into DTC as soon as possible and before the merger is consummated.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Withholding Tax on Dividends (DWT)

Distributions made by the combined company will, in the absence of one of many exemptions, be subject to DWT currently at a rate of 20%.

For DWT purposes, a distribution includes any distribution that may be made by the combined company to its shareholders, including cash dividends, non-cash dividends and additional stock taken in lieu of a cash dividend. Where an exemption does not apply in respect of a distribution made to a particular shareholder, the combined company is responsible for withholding DWT prior to making such distribution.

Irish domestic law provides that a non-Irish resident shareholder is not subject to DWT on dividends received from the combined company if such shareholder is beneficially entitled to the dividend and is either:

and provided, in all cases noted above (but subject to " Shares Held by U.S. Resident Shareholders " below), the combined company or, in respect of shares held through DTC, any qualifying intermediary appointed by the combined company, has received from the shareholder, where required, the relevant DWT Forms prior to the payment of the dividend. In practice, in order to ensure sufficient time to process the receipt of relevant DWT Forms, the shareholder where required should furnish the relevant DWT Forms to:

Links to the various DWT Forms are available at: http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/dwt/forms/index.html. The information contained on this website is not incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Shareholders that are required to file DWT Forms in order to receive dividends free of DWT should note that such forms are generally valid, subject to a change in circumstances, until December 31 of the fifth year after the year in which such forms were completed.

For non-Irish resident combined company shareholders that cannot avail themselves of one of Ireland's domestic law exemptions from DWT, it may be possible for such shareholders to rely on the provisions of a double tax treaty to which Ireland is party to reduce the rate of DWT.

Dividends paid in respect of combined company ordinary shares that are held outside of DTC and are owned by a former Johnson Controls shareholder who is a resident of the United States will not be subject to DWT if such shareholder satisfies the conditions of one of the exemptions referred to above

227

under the heading " General Exemptions ," including the requirement to provide a completed IRS issued Form 6166 or a valid DWT Form to the combined company's transfer agent at least seven business days before the record date for the dividend to confirm its U.S. residence and claim an exemption. It is strongly recommended that Johnson Controls shareholders who are U.S. residents and who receive combined company ordinary shares (which are to be held outside of DTC) pursuant to the merger complete the appropriate IRS Form 6166 or a DWT Form and provide them to the combined company's transfer agent as soon as possible after receiving their combined company ordinary shares.

If any shareholder that is resident in the United States receives a dividend from which DWT has been withheld, the shareholder should generally be entitled to apply for a refund of such DWT from the Irish Revenue Commissioners, provided the shareholder is beneficially entitled to the dividend.

Shareholders who are residents of Relevant Territories, other than the United States, must satisfy the conditions of one of the exemptions referred to above under the heading " General Exemptions ," including the requirement to furnish valid DWT Forms, in order to receive dividends without suffering DWT. If such shareholders hold their shares through DTC, they must provide the appropriate DWT Forms to their brokers (so that such brokers can further transmit the relevant information to a qualifying intermediary appointed by the combined company) before the record date for the dividend (or such later date before the dividend payment date as may be notified to the shareholder by the broker). If such shareholders hold their shares outside of DTC, they must provide the appropriate DWT Forms to the combined company's transfer agent at least seven business days before the record date for the dividend. It is strongly recommended that such shareholders, including Johnson Controls shareholders who are residents of Relevant Territories other than the U.S. and who receive combined company ordinary shares pursuant to the merger, complete the appropriate DWT Forms and provide them to their brokers or the combined company's transfer agent, as the case may be, as soon as possible after receiving their shares.

If any shareholder who is resident in a Relevant Territory receives a dividend from which DWT has been withheld, the shareholder may be entitled to a refund of DWT from the Irish Revenue Commissioners provided the shareholder is beneficially entitled to the dividend.

Most Irish tax resident or ordinarily resident shareholders (other than Irish resident companies that have completed the appropriate DWT Forms) will be subject to DWT in respect of dividends paid on their combined company ordinary shares.

Shareholders that are residents of Ireland, but are entitled to receive dividends without DWT, must complete the appropriate DWT Forms and provide them to their brokers (so that such brokers can further transmit the relevant information to a qualifying intermediary appointed by the combined company) before the record date for the dividend (or such later date before the dividend payment date as may be notified to the shareholder by the broker) (in the case of shares held through DTC), or to the combined company's transfer agent at least seven business days before the record date for the dividend (in the case of shares held outside of DTC).

Combined company shareholders who are resident or ordinarily resident in Ireland or are otherwise subject to Irish tax should consult their own tax advisors.

Combined company shareholders that do not fall within any of the categories specifically referred to above may nonetheless fall within other exemptions from DWT. If any shareholders are exempt from

DWT, but receive dividends subject to DWT, such shareholders may apply for refunds of such DWT from the Irish Revenue Commissioners.

Dividends paid in respect of combined company ordinary shares held through DTC that are owned by a partnership formed under the laws of a Relevant Territory and where all the underlying partners are residents in a Relevant Territory will be entitled to exemption from DWT if all of the partners complete the appropriate DWT Forms and provide them to their brokers (so that such brokers can further transmit the relevant information to a qualifying intermediary appointed by the combined company) before the record date for the dividend (or such later date before the dividend payment date as may be notified to the shareholder by the broker). If any partner is not a resident of a Relevant Territory, no partner is entitled to exemption from DWT.

Prior to paying any dividend, the combined company will put in place an agreement with an entity that is recognized by the Irish Revenue Commissioners as a "qualifying intermediary," which will provide for certain arrangements relating to distributions in respect of shares of the combined company that are held through DTC (the "deposited securities"). The agreement will provide that the qualifying intermediary shall distribute or otherwise make available to Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC, any cash dividend or other cash distribution with respect to the deposited securities after the combined company delivers or causes to be delivered to the qualifying intermediary the cash to be distributed.

The combined company will rely on information received directly or indirectly from its qualifying intermediary, brokers and its transfer agent in determining where shareholders reside, whether they have provided the required U.S. tax information and whether they have provided the required DWT Forms.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Income Tax on Dividends Paid on Combined Company Ordinary Shares

Irish income tax may arise for certain persons in respect of distributions received from Irish resident companies.

A combined company shareholder that is not resident or ordinarily resident in Ireland and that is entitled to an exemption from DWT generally has no liability to Irish income tax or the universal social charge on a dividend from the combined company. An exception to this position may apply where such shareholder holds combined company ordinary shares through a branch or agency in Ireland through which a trade is carried on.

A combined company shareholder that is not resident or ordinarily resident in Ireland and that is not entitled to an exemption from DWT generally has no additional Irish income tax liability or liability to the universal social charge. The DWT deducted by the combined company discharges the liability to income tax and the universal social charge. An exception to this position may apply where the shareholder holds combined company ordinary shares through a branch or agency in Ireland through which a trade is carried on.

Irish resident or ordinarily resident shareholders may be subject to Irish tax and (in the case of an individual) the universal social charge and/or Pay Related Social Insurance on dividends received from the combined company. Such combined company shareholders should consult their own tax advisors.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Capital Acquisitions Tax (CAT)

CAT comprises principally gift tax and inheritance tax. CAT could apply to a gift or inheritance of combined company ordinary shares irrespective of the place of residence, ordinary residence or domicile of the parties. This is because combined company ordinary shares are regarded as property

ZEQ.=6,SEQ=244,EFW="2227993",CP="TYCO INTERNATIONAL PLC",DN="1",CHK=916328,FOLIO='229',FILE='DISK126:[16ZAU1.16ZAU44401]DA44401A.;13',USER='OALBERT',CD=';4-APR-2016;13:14'

Table of Contents

situated in Ireland for Irish CAT purposes as the share register of the combined company must be held in Ireland. The person who receives the gift or inheritance has primary liability for CAT.

CAT is currently levied at a rate of 33% above certain tax-free thresholds. The appropriate tax-free threshold is dependent upon (i) the relationship between the donor and the donee and (ii) the aggregation of the values of previous gifts and inheritances received by the donee from persons within the same group threshold. Gifts and inheritances passing between spouses are exempt from CAT. Children have a tax-free threshold of €280,000 in respect of taxable gifts or inheritances received from their parents. Combined company shareholders should consult their own tax advisors as to whether CAT is creditable or deductible in computing any domestic tax liabilities.

There is also a "small gift exemption" from CAT whereby the first €3,000 of the taxable value of all taxable gifts taken by a donee from any one donor, in each calendar year, is exempt from CAT and is also excluded from any future aggregation. This exemption does not apply to an inheritance.

THE IRISH TAX CONSIDERATIONS SUMMARIZED ABOVE ARE FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. JOHNSON CONTROLS SHAREHOLDERS AND COMBINED COMPANY SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER AND OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSAL OF COMBINED COMPANY ORDINARY SHARES.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the pending merger between Johnson Controls and Tyco, which was announced on January 25, 2016, and other activities contemplated by the merger agreement based on the historical financial position and results of operations of Johnson Controls and Tyco. It is presented as follows:

The merger will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, "Business Combinations," ("ASC 805"). Johnson Controls will be the acquirer solely for financial accounting purposes. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information set forth below primarily gives effect to the following:

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company's financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the combination been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined statements of income do not include any pro forma adjustments to reflect expected cost savings or restructuring actions which may be achievable or the impact of any non-recurring activity and one-time transaction related costs.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under existing U.S. GAAP standards, which are subject to change. Johnson Controls will be deemed the acquirer in the merger for accounting purposes and Tyco will be treated as the acquiree, based on a number of factors considered at the time of preparation of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The acquisition accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other

231

ZEQ.=8,SEQ=246,EFW="2227993",CP="TYCO INTERNATIONAL PLC",DN="1",CHK=99890,FOLIO='231',FILE='DISK126:[16ZAU1.16ZAU44401]DA44401A.;13',USER='OALBERT',CD=';4-APR-2016;13:14'

studies that have yet to progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. Johnson Controls intends to complete the valuations and other studies upon completion of the merger and will finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable within the measurement period, but in no event later than one year following the closing date of the merger. The assets and liabilities of Tyco have been measured based on various preliminary estimates using assumptions that Johnson Controls believes are reasonable, based on information that is currently available. In addition, the proposed merger has not yet received all necessary approvals from governmental authorities. Under the HSR Act and other relevant laws and regulations, before the closing of the merger, there are significant limitations regarding what Johnson Controls can learn about Tyco. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing pro forma financial information prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting will occur, and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial information and the combined company's future results of operation and financial position.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been compiled in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by Johnson Controls. Upon completion of the merger, Johnson Controls will perform a detailed review of Tyco's accounting policies. As a result of that review, Johnson Controls may identify additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the combined company. Additionally, certain financial information of Tyco as presented in its historical consolidated financial statements has been reclassified to conform to the historical presentation in Johnson Controls' consolidated financial statements for purposes of preparation of the unaudited pro forma combined financial information. Transactions between Johnson Controls and Tyco during the periods presented in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information were not significant.

The unaudited pro forma combined statements of income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 and the three months ended December 31, 2015 assume the transaction occurred on October 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of financial position as of December 31, 2015 assumes the transaction occurred on December 31, 2015.

This unaudited pro forma combined financial information was derived from and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes, as well as the following historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of Johnson Controls and Tyco that are incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus:

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" 1. Description of Transaction

On January 24, 2016, Johnson Controls entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "merger agreement") with Tyco and certain other parties named, including Merger Sub. Pursuant to the merger agreement and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into Johnson Controls (the "merger"), with Johnson Controls surviving the merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Tyco. At the effective time of the merger, Tyco will change its name to "Johnson Controls plc."

As a result of the merger, each outstanding share of Johnson Controls common stock, other than shares held by Johnson Controls, its subsidiaries, Tyco, or Merger Sub, will be converted into the right to receive (subject to proration as described below), at the holder's election, either: (i) one (1) ordinary share of the combined company or (ii) an amount in cash equal to $34.88. Elections will be prorated so that Johnson Controls shareholders will receive in the aggregate approximately $3,864 million of cash in the merger. The exchange ratio takes into account the effects of the Tyco share consolidation contemplated by the merger agreement whereby, immediately prior to the merger, every issued and unissued ordinary share of Tyco will be consolidated into 0.955 of a share of Tyco. After consummation of the merger, Johnson Controls shareholders and Tyco shareholders are expected to own approximately 56% and 44%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the combined company.

Tyco expects to finance the cash consideration for the merger and fees, expenses and costs related to the transactions with $4,000 million of debt financing. In connection with the contemplated debt financing, on March 10, 2016, Tyco International Holding S.à.r.l ("TSarl") entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement (the "Term Loan Agreement") with Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as joint lead arrangers and joint book runners, providing for a three and a half year senior unsecured term loan facility in the amount of $4,000 million to finance the cash consideration for, and fees, expenses, and costs incurred in connection with, the merger. TSarl expects to borrow $4,000 million under the Term Loan Agreement simultaneously with the closing of the merger.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" 2. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial information to give effect to unaudited pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the transactions, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the unaudited pro forma combined statements of income, are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations of the combined company.

The spin-off of Johnson Controls' Automotive Experience business is expected to be completed following the consummation of the merger by means of a pro rata, taxable distribution to the holders of the combined company's ordinary shares, which would result in the Automotive Experience business becoming an independent publicly traded company named Adient. It is currently expected that the separation will generally proceed in substantially the same manner as originally planned and on the timeline previously announced by Johnson Controls, with such adjustments to reflect the distributing corporation reflected as those of the combined company instead of Johnson Controls. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma financial information of the combined company after giving effect to the merger has been further adjusted to reflect the planned distribution of the Automotive Experience business, which management has assessed as probable of occurring. The unaudited pro forma financial information related to the planned spin-off of the Automotive Experience business has been prepared

Table of Contents

in accordance with the discontinued operations guidance in ASC 205, "Financial Statement Presentation" ("ASC 205") and therefore does not reflect what Johnson Controls' or Adient's results of operations would have been on a stand-alone basis and are not necessarily indicative of Johnson Controls' or Adient's future results of operations. As such, the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements of income do not allocate any general corporate overhead expenses of Johnson Controls to the Automotive Experience business.

The merger will be treated as a business combination for accounting purposes, with Johnson Controls as the deemed accounting acquirer and Tyco the deemed acquiree. Therefore, the historical basis of Johnson Controls' assets and liabilities will not be affected by the merger, and the accounting policies of Johnson Controls will be applied (see Note 3 ). In identifying Johnson Controls as the acquiring entity, the companies took into account the structure of the merger and other activities contemplated by the merger agreement, relative outstanding share ownership, the composition of the combined company's board of directors, and the designation of certain senior management positions of the combined company.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The acquisition method of accounting, in accordance with ASC 805, uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement" ("ASC 820").

ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes the framework for measuring fair value for any asset acquired or liability assumed under U.S. GAAP, expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measurements. Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as "the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date." This is an exit price concept for the valuation of an asset or liability. Market participants are assumed to be buyers or sellers in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurement for an asset assumes the highest and best use by these market participants, and as a result, assets may be required to be recorded which are not intended to be used or sold. Additionally, the fair value may not reflect management's intended use for those assets.

Fair value measurements can be highly subjective and it is possible the application of reasonable judgment could develop different assumptions resulting in a range of alternative estimates using the same facts and circumstances.

Fair value estimates were determined based on preliminary discussions between Johnson Controls and Tyco management, due diligence efforts, and information available in public filings. The allocation of the aggregate merger consideration used in the preliminary unaudited pro forma combined financial information is based on preliminary estimates. The estimates and assumptions are subject to change as of the effective time of the merger. The final determination of the allocation of the aggregate merger consideration will be based on the actual tangible and intangible assets and the liabilities of Tyco at the effective time of the merger (see Note 5 ).

For pro forma purposes, the valuation of consideration transferred is based on, amongst other things, the share price of Johnson Controls on March 24, 2016 of $38.32 per share. This is used for pro forma purposes only. The consideration transferred will ultimately be based on the closing date share price of Johnson Controls stock on the closing date of the merger, and could materially change. In addition, the fair value of Tyco equity awards was estimated based on Tyco's closing share price at March 24, 2016 of $36.01 per share.

Tyco operates under a 52 or 53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Friday in September and the first three fiscal quarters that end on the last Friday of each quarter. Johnson Controls operates on a

Table of Contents

fiscal year that ends on September 30 of each year and the first three fiscal quarters that end on the last day of each quarter. This resulted in a five day difference in the close of the 2015 fiscal years and a six day difference in the close of the first three months ended in fiscal 2016. Because the historical statements of income of each company represent full and equivalent annual and quarterly periods, no adjustments have been made to align the fiscal years or quarters. Management is not aware of any significant transactions occurring outside the normal course of business entered into by Tyco from September 25, 2015 to September 30, 2015 or from December 25, 2015 to December 31, 2015.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is presented solely for informational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the combined results of operations or financial position that might have been achieved for the periods or dates indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future results of the combined company. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has not been adjusted to give effect to certain expected financial benefits of the merger, such as tax savings, cost synergies or revenue synergies, or the anticipated costs to achieve these benefits, including the cost of integration activities. Also, the unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not reflect possible adjustments related to restructuring or integration activities that have yet to be determined or transaction or other costs following the combination that are not expected to have a continuing impact on the business of the combined company. Further, one-time transaction-related expenses anticipated to be incurred prior to, or concurrent with, the closing of the merger are not included in the unaudited pro forma combined statements of income. However, the impact of such transaction expenses is reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined statement of financial position as a decrease to retained earnings and as a decrease to cash.

Certain amounts from the historical consolidated financial statements of Tyco were reclassified to conform their presentation to that of Johnson Controls.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" 3. Accounting Policies

Johnson Controls has completed a preliminary review of accounting policies for purposes of the unaudited pro forma combined financial information, during which review, Johnson Controls identified the following differences in accounting policies:

Adoption of ASU No. 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes"

In November 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. Under the new guidance, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets are to be classified as noncurrent in the statement of financial position. This guidance is effective for Johnson Controls and Tyco in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, with early adoption permitted on a prospective or retrospective basis. Johnson Controls early adopted the standard during the quarter ended December 31, 2015 on a retrospective basis, and Tyco has not yet adopted the standard. See 6(c) , 6(g ), 6(j) and 6(m) .

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Accounting for Defined Benefits

Net actuarial gains or losses and changes in the fair value of plan assets for its defined benefit plans are recognized by Johnson Controls immediately upon remeasurement in the statement of income, and by Tyco initially in other comprehensive income. In order to align Tyco to Johnson Controls' accounting policy, accumulated unamortized actuarial losses were removed from Tyco's accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2015, with an offset to retained earnings. For the year ended September 30, 2015, the adjustment required to reflect the loss for the fiscal year on a mark-to-market basis and the reversal of amortization of actuarial losses that were included in Tyco's historical financial statements was recorded within cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses based on the classification of the underlying participants (see 7(b) and 7(c) ).

ZEQ.=3,SEQ=254,EFW="2227993",CP="TYCO INTERNATIONAL PLC",DN="1",CHK=948147,FOLIO='239',FILE='DISK126:[16ZAU1.16ZAU44401]DE44401A.;23',USER='BFLANNO',CD=';4-APR-2016;16:33'

Table of Contents

For the three months ended December 31, 2015, the reversal of amortization of actuarial losses that were included in Tyco's historical financial statements was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses (see 7(c) ).

Upon completion of the merger, Johnson Controls will perform a detailed review of Tyco's accounting policies. As a result of that review, Johnson Controls may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the combined company. At this time, Johnson Controls is not aware of any other significant differences in accounting policies.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" 4. Estimated Merger Consideration

The total estimated merger consideration is calculated as follows (in millions, except for share data):

(1) As newly issued Tyco shares will be exchanged for shares of Johnson Controls on a 1 for 1 basis, the amount of shares outstanding immediately following the pre-merger share consolidation equals the number of Johnson Controls shares that Johnson Controls would theoretically be required to issue in order to maintain the respective post-merger ownership percentages of the combined company held by Tyco and Johnson Controls. (2) Fair value calculated as of March 24, 2016 and assuming a transaction closing date of October 1, 2016. The total fair value of Tyco equity awards of $260 million was allocated between total estimated merger consideration of $184 million and post-merger compensation expense of $76 million based on the portion of the total service period of the underlying awards that will have been completed by the estimated transaction closing date of October 1, 2016. Upon completion of the merger, it is probable that a portion of the post-merger compensation expense will be accelerated in the financial statements of the combined company due to the likelihood that certain Tyco employees will be terminated in conjunction with the transaction. However, at this time, the number of awards that will be accelerated as a result of the merger is not known, as Tyco awards contain "double triggers" requiring a change in control as well as termination of employment in order to accelerate vesting. An estimate cannot be reasonably made as it would require highly uncertain and unsubstantiated assumptions to be made, and therefore would not result in factually supportable adjustments to the unaudited combined pro forma financial information. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustment has been recorded to reflect the potential acceleration of equity awards for employees terminated in connection with the merger.

The estimate of consideration expected to be transferred reflected in these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements does not purport to represent what the actual consideration transferred will be when the merger is consummated. For purposes of these unaudited pro forma combined

However, the fair value of equity securities issued as the consideration transferred will be measured using the market price of Johnson Controls common stock on the closing date. An increase/decrease of 25% in Johnson Controls' share price would increase/decrease the total consideration by $3,887 million, which would be reflected in these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements as an increase or decrease to goodwill. The actual purchase price will fluctuate until the closing of the merger.

(1) Represents proceeds expected to be received from debt to be issued by Tyco in connection with the merger net of deferred financing fees of $25 million, which will be assumed by Johnson Controls. See 6(k) . (2) Represents cash consideration contributed by Tyco to Johnson Controls, which will be paid to Johnson Controls shareholders in exchange for a portion of the outstanding shares of Johnson Controls, in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement. (3) Represents cash consideration to be paid by Johnson Controls for the repayment of debt due to change in control provisions triggered by the merger transaction. See 6(h) and 6(k) . (4) In connection with the proposed spin-off of Adient, Adient intends to obtain debt financing, of which a portion of the proceeds remain with Adient following the spin-off, and the remainder of the proceeds being distributed to Johnson Controls prior to the completion of the spin-off. Johnson Controls intends to use a portion of these proceeds to fund the repayment of any of its debt that becomes due as a result of the merger and any payment of pension and deferred compensation liabilities due to change in control provisions triggered by the merger transaction. In the event that Adient would be unable to distribute cash to Johnson Controls, Johnson Controls is able to issue commercial paper or has the ability to draw on its committed revolving credit facility to fund the payments due as a result of change in control provisions triggered by the merger transaction. Because Adient has not yet obtained commitments from financing sources to fund its anticipated debt incurrence, the $1,308 million included in the table above reflects a short-term borrowing by Johnson Controls sufficient to fund the payments due as a result of change in control provisions triggered by the merger transaction. (5) Represents the payment of Johnson Controls nonqualified defined benefit pension and deferred compensation liabilities due to change in control provisions triggered by the merger transaction. Payment will occur within 90 days of the merger date. See 6(g) , 6(i) , 6(j) , 6(l) , 6(m) and 6(n) .

(1) Tyco maintains the SSRP, a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for current and former executives. The executives participating in this plan have elected to defer a portion of their compensation until a later date and are also credited with company matching contributions and investment earnings based on their individual deemed investment elections. Under the terms of the SSRP, Tyco has no obligation to fund the SSRP, although it created a rabbi trust for use as a potential pre-funding vehicle in the event of a change in control transaction. The trust agreement provides that Tyco would be obligated to make an irrevocable contribution to the trust in an amount sufficient to fully fund the SSRP liabilities no later than thirty days after a change in control. As of December 31, 2015, Tyco had a gross liability of $92 million under the SSRP. Tyco had previously set aside certain assets outside of the trust to partially mitigate the changes in the SSRP liability due to market impacts. The value of these assets totaled $63 million at December 31, 2015, leaving an additional $29 million required to fund the liability of the trust upon a change in control. This $29 million is reflected as a reduction of cash in the unaudited pro forma combined statement of financial position. See 6(a) . (2) Represents the adjustment to current deferred tax assets upon Tyco's adoption of ASU 2015-17 (see Note 3) .

The total incremental deferred tax liabilities as a result of purchase accounting was $1,948 million, of which $334 million was recorded in jurisdictions with offsetting deferred tax assets (see 6(g) ). The estimate of deferred taxes was determined based on the changes in the book basis of the net assets to be acquired compared to the historical basis reflected in Tyco's historical financial statements. A weighted average statutory rate of 28% was applied. This estimate of deferred income tax is preliminary and is subject to change based on Johnson Controls' final determination of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by jurisdiction and their respective fair values. ii. $292 million reduction related to the fair value adjustment of the long-term portion of Tyco's historical deferred revenue. The fair value of the deferred revenue deemed to be assumed was estimated based upon management's assessment of the future costs expected to be incurred in connection with the combined company's continued legal obligation associated with the assumed deferred revenue plus a reasonable profit margin.

At this time, the number of awards that will be accelerated as a result of the merger is not known and an estimate would require us to make highly uncertain and unsubstantiated assumptions, and therefore would not result in factually supportable adjustments to the unaudited combined pro forma financial information.

The unaudited pro forma weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding is calculated by adding the effect of dilutive securities to the unaudited pro forma weighted average number of basic shares outstanding. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, the effect of dilutive securities are comprised of 6.3 million shares and 5.7 million shares of common stock of the combined company exercisable or issuable pursuant to outstanding awards of Johnson Controls and Tyco, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2015, the effect of dilutive securities are comprised of 5.1 million shares and 3.9 million shares of common stock of the combined company exercisable or issuable pursuant to outstanding awards of Johnson Controls and Tyco, respectively. The dilutive effects of these share-based awards were computed using the treasury stock method.

On July 24, 2015, Johnson Controls announced its intent to pursue a separation of the Automotive Experience business through a spin-off to shareholders in early fiscal 2017. The newly publicly traded company will be named Adient. The proposed spin-off is subject to various conditions, is complex in

nature, and may be affected by unanticipated developments, credit and equity markets, or changes in market conditions. Completion of the proposed spin-off will be contingent upon customary closing conditions, including final approval from the combined company's Board of Directors. In connection with the proposed spin-off of Adient, Adient intends to obtain debt financing, of which a portion of the proceeds would remain with Adient following the spin-off, and the remainder of the proceeds being distributed to Johnson Controls prior to the completion of the spin-off.

Due to the significance of the transaction, the unaudited pro forma combined statement of financial position as of December 31, 2015 and the unaudited pro forma combined statements of income for the year ended September 30, 2015 and for the three months ended December 31, 2015 have been adjusted to reflect the spin-off of the Automotive Experience business, which is expected to be treated as a discontinued operation at the time of the spin-off. Additionally, as this probable transaction has not yet been reflected in the historical financial statements of Johnson Controls, unaudited pro forma statements of income for Johnson Controls have been provided within this Note 9 for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 in order to provide pro forma presentation of the proposed spin-off for the three years presented in Johnson Controls' current report on Form 8-K (Items 8.01 and 9.01) filed with the SEC on March 3, 2016.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income have been prepared in accordance with the discontinued operations guidance in ASC 205 and therefore do not reflect what Johnson Controls' or Adient's results of operations would have been on a stand-alone basis and are not necessarily indicative of Johnson Controls' or Adient's future results of operations. As such, the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements of income do not allocate any general corporate overhead expenses of Johnson Controls to the Automotive Experience business.

The information in the Automotive Experience Spin-off column in the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income was prepared based on the Johnson Controls' audited financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and only include costs that are directly attributable to the operating results of the Automotive Experience business.

COMPARISON OF THE RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF JOHNSON CONTROLS COMMON STOCK AND TYCO ORDINARY SHARES

The rights of the shareholders of Johnson Controls and the relative powers of the Johnson Controls board of directors are governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, including the WBCL, and the Johnson Controls articles of incorporation and the Johnson Controls bylaws. As a result of the merger, each issued and outstanding share of Johnson Controls common stock (other than shares held by Johnson Controls, Tyco, Merger Sub and certain subsidiaries of Johnson Controls and Tyco, as described in the merger agreement) will be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration, consisting of:

Each Tyco ordinary share issued to Johnson Controls shareholders in connection with the merger, which will become an ordinary share of the combined company, will be issued in accordance with, and will carry with it the rights and obligations set forth in, Tyco's articles of association. As Tyco is a public limited company incorporated under the laws of Ireland, the rights of the shareholders of Tyco are governed by applicable Irish law, including the Irish Companies Act, and by Tyco's articles of association.

Although many of the principal attributes of Johnson Controls common stock are similar to those of Tyco ordinary shares, there are differences between the rights of shareholders of Johnson Controls under the laws of the State of Wisconsin and the rights of shareholders of Tyco under Irish law. In addition, there are differences between the Johnson Controls articles of incorporation and the Johnson Controls bylaws and Tyco's memorandum and articles of association.

The following is a summary comparison of certain differences between the rights of Johnson Controls shareholders under the WBCL, the Johnson Controls articles of incorporation and the Johnson Controls bylaws, on the one hand, and the rights that Johnson Controls shareholders will have as shareholders of the combined company under the Irish Companies Act and Tyco's memorandum and articles of association, which, subject to the amendments contemplated by the Tyco governing documents proposals and set forth on Annex B-1 and Annex B-2 to this joint proxy statement/prospectus, will become the memorandum and articles of association of the combined company, on the other hand. The discussion in this section does not include a description of rights or obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws or NYSE listing requirements. Such rights and obligations generally apply equally to Johnson Controls common stock and Tyco ordinary shares, and therefore will apply equally to combined company ordinary shares.

The statements in this section are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and are subject to, the detailed provisions of the Johnson Controls articles of incorporation and the Johnson Controls bylaws, which have been filed by Johnson Controls with the SEC, Tyco's memorandum and articles of association, which has been filed by Tyco with the SEC, and the proposed amendments to the Tyco memorandum and articles of association set forth on Annex B-1 and Annex B-2 to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Copies of the full text of the Johnson Controls articles of incorporation and the Johnson Controls bylaws as currently in effect, and Tyco's memorandum and articles of association as currently in effect, are available, without charge, by following the instructions in the section entitled " Where You Can Find More Information ." For more information about the proposed amendments to Tyco's memorandum and articles of association, see " Tyco ProposalsTyco Governing Documents Proposals (Resolutions 1 and 2) ."

Johnson Controls	Tyco
Authorized and Outstanding Capital Stock
The authorized capital stock of Johnson Controls currently consists of 1,800,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $1.00 par value. As of [ ], the record date for the Johnson Controls special meeting, Johnson Controls had
[ ] shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. The number of authorized shares of common stock may be increased or reduced by amending the Johnson Controls articles of incorporation. Johnson Controls may amend the Johnson Controls articles of incorporation as described under " Amendments of Governing Documents. " In addition, under the WBCL, the board of directors of Johnson Controls, without shareholder approval, may approve the issuance of authorized but unissued shares of common
stock. The Johnson Controls articles of incorporation grant the board of directors of Johnson Controls the authority to divide Johnson Controls' preferred stock into series,
and to determine and fix the relative rights and preferences of the shares of any series so established prior to the issuance thereof with respect to (i) the rate of dividend and the date from which such dividends shall be cumulative,
(ii) the price at and the terms and conditions on which shares may be redeemed, (iii) the amount payable upon shares in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, (iv) sinking fund provisions for the redemption or purchase of
shares, (v) the terms and conditions on which such shares of preferred stock may be converted into shares of Johnson Controls common stock, if any and (vi) voting rights, if any.	The authorized share capital of Tyco is €40,000 and $11,000,000 divided into 40,000 ordinary A shares with a par value of €1.00 per share, 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares with a par value of $0.01 per share and 100,000,000 preferred shares
with a par value of $0.01 per share. As of [ ], the record date for the Tyco EGM, Tyco had zero
ordinary A shares, par value €1.00 per share issued and outstanding, [ ] ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding and zero preferred shares, par
value of $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding. The authorized share capital may be increased or reduced (but not below the number of issued ordinary shares, preferred
shares or ordinary A shares, as applicable) by a simple majority of the votes cast at a general meeting (referred to under Irish law as an "ordinary resolution"). The number of shares to be issued to Johnson Controls shareholders in the merger may
exceed the available authorized but unissued number of ordinary shares under the current authorized share capital after taking into account the effects of the Tyco share consolidation. Accordingly it is proposed to increase the authorized share
capital of Tyco immediately following the Tyco share consolidation to 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares (the number of authorized ordinary shares of Tyco immediately prior to the Tyco share consolidation) at the Tyco EGM. Since almost all of the current
authorized share capital of Tyco ordinary shares will be used in the issuance of the combined company ordinary shares in the merger, it will be further proposed at the Tyco EGM that Tyco shareholders approve an ordinary resolution to increase the
authorized share capital of Tyco to a total of 2,000,000,000 ordinary shares, 200,000,000 preferred shares and 40,000 ordinary A shares following consummation of the merger.

Johnson Controls	Tyco
Notwithstanding anything in the Johnson Controls articles of incorporation to the contrary, the board of directors of Johnson Controls may not cause any shares of preferred stock to be issued if, as a result of such
issuance, the aggregate amount payable on all shares of preferred stock outstanding in the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation of all shares of Preferred Stock outstanding would exceed $100,000,000.	Under Irish law, the directors of a company may issue new ordinary, preferred or ordinary A shares without shareholder approval once authorized to do so by its articles of association or by an ordinary resolution
adopted by the shareholders at a general meeting. The authorization may be granted for a maximum period of five years, at which point it must be renewed by the shareholders by an ordinary resolution. Because of this requirement of Irish law, Tyco's
articles of association authorize the board of directors of Tyco to issue new ordinary, preferred and ordinary A shares without shareholder approval for a period of five years from September 8, 2014 up to Tyco's current authorized share capital.
As a result of the increase in the authorized share capital for the purposes of issuing shares in the merger, it will be proposed at the Tyco EGM that Tyco shareholders authorize the directors of Tyco pursuant to an ordinary resolution to issue
ordinary shares up to the authorized but unissued share capital of Tyco as increased for the purposes of issuing shares under the merger until the earlier of the Tyco annual general meeting in 2017 and
[ ], 2017. Following consummation of the merger, the combined company will have used almost all of its authorized but unissued
ordinary share capital and therefore the authority of its directors to issue shares. Accordingly, it will be further proposed at the Tyco EGM that Tyco shareholders authorize the directors of Tyco pursuant to an ordinary resolution to issue shares up
to a maximum par value of $[ ] until the earlier of the Tyco annual general meeting in 2017 and [ ] 2017,
which will represent approximately 33% of the enlarged issued share capital immediately following the consummation of the merger. The consummation of the merger is not conditioned on the passing of this share issuance resolution.
Consolidation and Division; Subdivision
Under the WBCL, the issued shares of a corporation may be combined into a smaller number of shares or split into a greater number of shares through an amendment to its articles of incorporation. Johnson Controls may
amend the Johnson Controls articles of incorporation as described under " Amendments of Governing Documents ."	Tyco's articles of association provide that Tyco may, by ordinary resolution, consolidate and divide its issued share capital into a smaller number of shares, or subdivide its issued share capital into a larger number
of shares.

Under the WBCL, Johnson Controls may reacquire, redeem, convert or cancel its capital, subject to the requirement that at all times capital stock of Johnson Controls is outstanding there must be outstanding
(i) one or more shares that together have unlimited voting rights and (ii) one or more shares, which may be the same share or shares as those with unlimited voting rights, that together are entitled to receive the net assets of Johnson

Tyco may, by ordinary resolution, reduce its authorized but unissued share capital in any way. Tyco may also, by special resolution (a "special resolution" requires the approval of not less than 75% of the votes of
Tyco's shareholders cast at a general meeting at which a quorum is present) and subject to confirmation by the High Court of Ireland, reduce or cancel its issued share capital in any way permitted by the Irish Companies Act. If the proposed
amendments to the articles of association of Tyco proposed at the Tyco EGM are adopted, Tyco will also be able to increase or reduce the par value of any class of its shares by an ordinary resolution, with the resulting increase or reduction in share

Preemption Rights, Share Warrants and Options
Johnson Controls' shareholders do not have preemptive rights to acquire newly issued shares of Johnson Controls common stock. According to the Johnson Controls articles of incorporation, holders of Johnson Controls capital stock do not have any
preemptive or preferential rights other than as the board of directors of Johnson Controls in its discretion may from time to time determine. Under the WBCL, unless the
articles of incorporation provide otherwise, a corporation may issue rights, options or warrants for the purchase of shares of the corporation. The rights, options or warrants may contain provisions that adjust the rights, options or warrants in the
event of an acquisition of shares or a reorganization, merger, share exchange, sale of assets or other occurrence. Subject to the articles of incorporation, the board of directors may determine the terms on which the rights, options or warrants are
issued, their form and content, and the consideration for which the shares are to be issued. Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation before issuance of the rights, options or warrants, a corporation may issue rights, options or
warrants that include conditions that prevent the holder of a specified percentage of the outstanding shares of the corporation, including subsequent transferees of the holder, from exercising those rights, options or warrants.	Under Irish law, certain statutory preemption rights apply automatically in favor of shareholders where shares are to be issued for cash. Tyco has opted out of these preemption rights in its articles of association as
permitted under Irish law. Because Irish law requires this opt-out to be renewed every five years by a special resolution of the shareholders, Tyco's articles of association provide that this opt-out must be so renewed in accordance with Irish
statutory requirements. If the opt-out is not renewed, shares issued for cash must be offered to existing shareholders of Tyco on a pro rata basis to their existing shareholding before the shares may be issued to any new shareholders. Statutory
preemption rights do not apply (i) where shares are issued for non-cash consideration (such as in a stock-for-stock acquisition), (ii) to the issue of non-equity shares (that is, shares that have the right to participate only up to a
specified amount in any income or capital distribution) or (iii) where shares are issued pursuant to an employee option or similar equity plan. The current opt-out from pre-emption rights of Tyco only applies in respect of its current authorized
but unissued share capital. Since the issuance of the combined company ordinary shares pursuant to the merger will use almost all of the current authorized but unissued share capital, it will be proposed at the Tyco EGM that Tyco shareholders
authorize the directors of Tyco pursuant to a special resolution to issue shares for cash without the application of preemption rights of up to a maximum par value of $[ ], which
will represent approximately 5% of the enlarged issued share capital immediately following the consummation of the merger, with such authority expiring on the earlier of the Tyco annual general meeting in 2017 or
[ ], unless otherwise varied, revoked or renewed. The consummation of the merger is not conditioned on the passing of the Tyco preemption waiver proposal.
	Under Irish law, Tyco is prohibited from allotting shares without consideration. Accordingly, at least the nominal value of the shares issued underlying any restricted share award, restricted share unit, performance
share awards, bonus shares or any other share-based grants must be paid pursuant to the Irish Companies Act.

Distributions, Dividends, Repurchases and Redemptions
Distributions / Dividends	Distributions / Dividends
Under the WBCL, distributions are paid at the discretion of the board of directors of a Wisconsin corporation. The board of directors of Johnson Controls may authorize, and Johnson Controls may make, distributions to its shareholders, including in connection with the repurchase of its shares, in amounts
determined by the board of directors of Johnson Controls, unless: after the distribution, Johnson Controls would not be able to pay its debts as they become
due in the usual course of business; or Johnson Controls' total assets after the distribution would be less than the sum of its total liabilities, plus ,
unless the Johnson Controls articles of incorporation provide otherwise, the amount that would be needed to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution if
Johnson Controls were to be dissolved at the time of distribution. The Johnson Controls articles of incorporation state that after all dividends on all series of preferred
stock entitled to dividends accrued have been paid, the holders of Johnson Controls common stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared thereon from time to time by the board of directors of Johnson Controls, at its discretion,
out of any assets of the corporation at the time legally available for payment of dividends.	Under Irish law, dividends and distributions may only be made from distributable reserves. Distributable reserves generally means accumulated realized profits less
accumulated realized losses and includes reserves created by way of capital reduction. In addition, no distribution or dividend may be made unless the net assets of Tyco are equal to, or in excess of, the aggregate of Tyco's called-up share capital
plus undistributable reserves and the distribution does not reduce Tyco's net assets below such aggregate. Undistributable reserves include the share premium account, the
par value of Tyco shares acquired by Tyco and the amount by which Tyco's accumulated unrealized profits, so far as not previously utilized by any capitalization, exceed Tyco's accumulated unrealized losses, so far as not previously written off in a
reduction or reorganization of capital. The determination as to whether or not Tyco has sufficient distributable reserves to fund a dividend must be made by reference to
the "relevant financial statements" of Tyco. The "relevant financial statements" are either the last set of unconsolidated annual audited financial statements or other financial statements properly prepared in accordance with the Irish Companies Act,
which give a "true and fair view" of Tyco's unconsolidated financial position and accord with accepted accounting practice. The relevant financial statements must be filed in the Companies Registration Office (the official public registry for
companies in Ireland). Tyco's articles of association authorize the directors to pay interim dividends without shareholder approval to the extent they appear justified by
profits. The Tyco board of directors may also recommend a dividend to be approved and declared by the shareholders at a general meeting and may direct that the payment be made by distribution of assets, shares or cash. No dividend issued may exceed
the amount recommended by the directors.
	Dividends may be declared and paid in the form of cash or non-cash assets and may be paid in dollars or any other currency.
	The Tyco board of directors may deduct from any dividend payable to any shareholder any amounts payable by such shareholder to Tyco in relation to the Tyco shares.

Repurchases / Redemptions	Repurchases / Redemptions
Unless otherwise restricted in the Johnson Controls articles of incorporation, under the WBCL, Johnson Controls may redeem or repurchase its own shares of capital stock, subject to the limitations described above in
" Reduction of Share Capital ."	Under Irish law, Tyco may issue redeemable shares and redeem them out of distributable reserves or, where Tyco proposes to cancel the shares on redemption, the proceeds of a new issue of shares for that purpose. Tyco may only issue redeemable shares if the nominal value of the issued share capital that is not redeemable is not less than 10% of the nominal value of the total issued share capital of
Tyco.
	Tyco may also be given authority to purchase its own shares as overseas market purchases on a recognized stock exchange such as the NYSE or off-market purchases with such authority to be given by its shareholders at a
general meeting, which would take effect on the same terms and be subject to the same conditions as applicable to purchases by Tyco's subsidiaries. Tyco currently has authority to make market purchases which permits Tyco and any subsidiary of Tyco to
acquire shares not exceeding in the aggregate, 40,000,000 ordinary shares of $0.01 each (which represented slightly less than 10% of Tyco's issued ordinary shares at the date of the passing of the resolution to grant the authority. In accordance with
the authority the maximum price to be paid for any ordinary share shall be an amount equal to 110% of the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange for the ordinary shares on the trading day preceding the day on which the relevant share is

	Tyco's articles of association provide that any ordinary share that Tyco has agreed to acquire shall be deemed to be a redeemable share. Accordingly, for the purposes of Irish law, the repurchase of ordinary shares by
Tyco may be effected as a redemption.
Purchase of Johnson Controls Capital Stock by Subsidiaries of Johnson Controls Under the WBCL, subsidiaries of Johnson
Controls are not prevented from purchasing shares of Johnson Controls common stock.	Purchases by Subsidiaries of Tyco Under Irish law, Tyco's subsidiaries may purchase Tyco ordinary shares either as overseas market purchases on a
recognized stock exchange such as NYSE or off-market purchases. For a subsidiary of Tyco to make overseas market purchases of Tyco ordinary shares, the shareholders of Tyco
must provide general authorization for such purchases by way of ordinary resolution. Tyco's subsidiaries have the authority to make overseas market purchases of Tyco ordinary shares as described above.
	For a purchase by a subsidiary of Tyco ordinary shares off market, the proposed purchase contract must be authorized by special resolution of Tyco shareholders before the contract is entered into. The person whose
Tyco ordinary shares are to be bought back cannot vote in favor of the special resolution, and from the date of the notice of the meeting at which the resolution approving the contract is proposed, the purchase contract must be on display or must be
available for inspection by Tyco shareholders at the registered office of Tyco.
	The number of shares held by the subsidiaries of Tyco at any time will count as treasury shares and will be included in any calculation of the permitted treasury share threshold of 10% of the aggregate of the par
value and share premium received in respect of the allotment of Tyco shares together with the par value of any shares acquired by Tyco. While a subsidiary holds Tyco ordinary shares, such subsidiary cannot exercise any voting rights in respect of
those shares. The acquisition of Tyco ordinary shares by a subsidiary must be funded out of distributable reserves of the subsidiary.

Dividends in Shares / Bonus Issues
Under the WBCL, unless a corporation's articles of incorporation provide otherwise, it may issue shares proportionally and without consideration to its shareholders. For the discussion of dividends and distributions,
see " Distributions, Dividends, Repurchases and Redemptions ."	Under Tyco's articles of association, the board of directors may resolve to capitalize any amount for the time being standing to the credit of any of Tyco's reserve accounts or to the credit of the profit and loss
account which is not available for distribution by applying such sum in paying up in full unissued shares to be allotted as fully paid bonus shares to those shareholders of Tyco who would have been entitled to that sum if it were distributable and
had been distributed by way of dividend (and in the same proportions).
Lien on Shares, Calls on Shares and Forfeiture of Shares
Under the WBCL, a corporation may place in escrow shares issued for a contract for future services or benefits or a promissory note, or make other arrangements to restrict the transfer of the shares, and may credit
distributions in respect of the shares against their purchase price, until the services are performed, the benefits are received or the note is paid. If the services are not performed, the benefits are not received or the note is not paid, the
corporation may cancel, in whole or in part, the shares escrowed or restricted and the distributions credited.	Tyco's articles of association provide that Tyco will have a first and paramount lien on every share for all moneys payable, whether presently due or not, in respect of such Tyco ordinary share. Subject to the terms
of their allotment, directors may call for any unpaid amounts in respect of any shares to be paid, and if payment is not made, the shares may be forfeited. These provisions are standard inclusions in the articles of association of an Irish company
limited by shares, such as Tyco. The shares to be issued to Johnson Controls shareholders in the merger will be fully paid up.
Share Certificates
Johnson Controls' bylaws authorize the issuance of Johnson Controls common stock in certificated or uncertificated form.	Pursuant to the Irish Companies Act, a shareholder is entitled to be issued a share certificate on request and subject to payment of a nominal fee.

Number, Election and Qualification of Directors
Number of Directors	Number of Directors
The WBCL provides that a board of directors must consist of one or more natural persons, with the number specified or fixed in accordance with the articles of incorporation or bylaws. The number of directors may be increased or decreased (except
that a decrease in the number of directors may not shorten an incumbent director's term) from time to time by amendment to, or in the manner provided in, the articles of incorporation or the bylaws. Pursuant to the Johnson Controls articles of incorporation, the number of directors shall not be less than three and shall be fixed from time to time by the Johnson Controls bylaws. The Johnson
Controls bylaws require that the number of directors of Johnson Controls be not less than nine and not more than 13. Election Under the Johnson Controls bylaws, election of directors at all meetings of Johnson Controls shareholders at which directors are to be elected shall be by ballot. In
uncontested director elections, a majority of the votes cast at any meeting of the shareholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present shall elect directors, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to
elect directors under specified circumstances. For purposes of this standard, a "majority of the votes cast" means that the number of shares voted "for" a director's election exceeds 50% of the number of votes cast with respect to that director's
election. Votes cast shall include votes "for" and "against" that director's election and direction to withhold authority in each case and exclude abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to that director's election. In the event of a "contested election" of directors, directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is
present. For purposes of this provision, "contested election" means any election of directors in which the number of candidates for election as directors exceeds the number of directors to be elected, as determined by the secretary of Johnson
Controls. Qualifications Under the WBCL, a
director is not required to be a resident of the State of Wisconsin or a shareholder of the corporation.	Tyco's articles of association currently provide that the number of directors will be not less than two and not more than 13. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the Tyco board of directors consisted of 11 directors. Election Under Tyco's articles of association directors are
subject to re-election at each annual general meeting, unless they previously are removed from office or resign. Any director who stands for re-election at an annual general meeting but whose election is not approved by an ordinary resolution at that
meeting will retire at the end of that meeting. Directors are elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by shareholders at an annual general meeting,
each by an individual resolution, and serve for one-year terms. Any nominee for director who does not receive a majority of the votes cast is not elected to the board. However, because Irish law requires a minimum of two directors at all times, in
the event that an election results in no directors being elected, each of the two nominees receiving the greatest number of votes in favor of his or her election shall hold office until his or her successor shall be elected. In the event that an
election results in only one director being elected, that director shall be elected and shall serve for a one-year term, and the nominee receiving the greatest number of votes in favor of their election shall hold office until his or her successor
shall be elected. Tyco's articles of association provide that no person shall be appointed director unless nominated as follows: (i) by or at the direction of the board of Tyco; (ii) with respect to
election at an annual general meeting, by any shareholder who holds ordinary shares or other shares carrying the general right to vote at general meetings of Tyco, who is a shareholder at the time of the giving of the notice and at the time of the
relevant annual general meeting and who timely complies with the notice procedures set out in the articles of association; or

Johnson Controls does not have a classified board of directors.

The Johnson Controls bylaws provide that the presence of a majority of the total number of directors then in office constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act of a majority of directors present

Removal of Directors and Vacancies
Removal of Directors	Removal of Directors
The WBCL provides that, unless the articles of incorporation provide otherwise, vacancies on the board of directors (including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors) may be filled by the shareholders, the board of
directors or, if the directors remaining in office constitute fewer than a quorum of the board, by the affirmative vote of a majority of all of the directors remaining in office. The WBCL further provides that the shareholders may remove one or more directors with or without cause unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws provide that directors may be removed only for cause. The Johnson Controls articles of incorporation provide that a director may only be removed by the vote of two-thirds of the shares outstanding and the bylaws provide that directors may only be
removed for cause at a meeting of shareholders duly called for such purpose. "Cause" means that the director whose removal is proposed has been convicted of a felony by a court of competent jurisdiction, where such conviction is no longer subject to
direct appeal, or has been adjudged liable for actions or omissions in the performance of his or her duty to Johnson Controls in a matter which has a materially adverse effect on the business of Johnson Controls, where such adjudication is no longer
subject to appeal. Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies Pursuant to the Johnson Controls articles of incorporation, any vacancy occurring on the board of directors, however caused (including as result of an increase in the size of the board of directors), may be filled by a majority vote of
the directors remaining in office, although less than a quorum, by a sole remaining director or by Johnson Controls' shareholders.	Under the Irish Companies Act and notwithstanding anything contained in Tyco's articles of association or in any agreement between Tyco and a director, the shareholders may, by an ordinary resolution (at least 28 days' notice of which is given
to the company), remove a director from office before the expiration of his or her term at a meeting held at which the director is entitled to be heard. In compliance with this provision of the Irish Companies Act, Tyco's articles of association
provide that Tyco may, by ordinary resolution, remove any director before the expiration of his or her period of office notwithstanding anything in any agreement between Tyco and the removed director. The power of removal is without prejudice to any
claim for damages for breach of contract (e.g., an employment contract) that the director may have against Tyco in respect of his or her removal. A vacancy caused by
the removal of a director may be filled at the meeting at which the director is removed by a resolution of Tyco's shareholders. If not, it may be filled by the board of directors. A vacancy created by an increase in the maximum number of directors,
capable of being appointed to the board of directors can be filled in accordance with the procedures for the election of and qualification of directors outlined above. Tyco's articles of association provide that the directors also have the authority to appoint directors to the Tyco board of directors, subject to the maximum in the articles of association.

Duties of Directors
Under the WBCL, a director or officer, in discharging his or her duties to the corporation and determining what he or she believes is in the best interests of the
corporation, may, in addition to considering the effects of any action on shareholders, consider: the effects of the action on employees, suppliers and customers of the corporation; the effects of the action on the communities in which the corporation operates; and any other factors that the director or officer considers pertinent.	The directors of Tyco have certain statutory and fiduciary duties as a matter of Irish law. All of the directors have equal and overall responsibility for the management
of Tyco (although directors who also serve as employees have additional responsibilities and duties arising under their employment agreements, and it is likely that more will be expected of them in compliance with their duties than non-executive
directors). The Irish Companies Act provides specifically for certain fiduciary duties of the directors of Irish companies, including duties: (i) to
act in good faith and in the best interests of the company;
	(ii) to act honestly and responsibly in relation to the company's affairs;
	(iii) to act in accordance with the company's constitution and to exercise powers only for lawful purposes;
	(iv) not to misuse the company's property, information and/or opportunity;
	(v) not to fetter their independent judgment;
	(vi) to avoid conflicts of interest;
	(vii) to exercise care, skill and diligence; and
	(viii) to have regard for the interests of the company's shareholders.
	Additional statutory duties under the Irish Companies Act include ensuring the maintenance of proper books of account, having annual accounts prepared, having an annual audit performed, and the duty to maintain
certain registers and make certain filings as well as certain disclosures of personal interests.
	For public limited companies like Tyco, directors are under a specific duty to ensure that the secretary has the skills or resources and the requisite knowledge and experience to discharge the role.

	Under Irish law, a director is entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, prepared or presented by (i) other directors, officers or
employees of the corporation whom the director reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters prepared or presented, (ii) legal counsel, public accountants or other persons as to matters the director reasonably believes are
within their professional or expert competence or (iii) a committee of the board of which the director does not serve as to matters within its designated authority, which committee the director reasonably believes to merit
confidence.
Conflicts of Interest of Directors
Under the WBCL, a "conflict of interest transaction" is a transaction with a corporation in which a director of that corporation has a direct or indirect interest. A
conflict of interest transaction is not voidable by the corporation solely because of the director's interest in the transaction if any of the following is true: the material facts of the transaction and the
director's interest were disclosed or known to the board of directors and the requisite number of non-interested directors authorized, approved or specifically ratified the transaction; the material facts of the
transaction and the director's interest were disclosed or known to the shareholders entitled to vote and the requisite number of non-interested shareholders authorized, approved or specifically ratified the transaction; or the transaction was fair to the corporation.	As a matter of Irish law, a director is under a general fiduciary duty to avoid conflicts of interest. Under Irish law, directors who have a personal interest in a
contract or proposed contract with the applicable Irish company are required to declare the nature of their interest at a meeting of the board of directors of the applicable Irish company. An Irish company is required to maintain a register of
declared interests, which must be available for shareholder inspection. Tyco's articles of association and Irish statutory law, as applicable, provide that a director who
is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or proposed contract, transaction or arrangement with Tyco and has complied with his or her disclosure obligations under the Irish Companies Act shall be entitled to vote in
respect of any contract, transaction or arrangement in which he or she is so interested, and if he or she shall do so his or her vote shall be counted, and he or she shall be taken into account in ascertaining whether a quorum is present.

Indemnification of Officers and Directors Limitation on Director Liability
The WBCL requires a corporation to indemnify a director or officer to the extent that he or she has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of a
proceeding for all reasonable expenses that he or she incurred in the proceeding if the director or officer was a party because he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation. Indemnification is also required for proceedings to which
the director or officer was a party because he or she is a director or officer of the corporation, unless liability was incurred because the director or officer breached or failed to perform a duty that he or she owes to the corporation and the
breach or failure to perform constitutes any of the following: a willful failure to deal fairly with the corporation or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director or officer has a material
conflict of interest; a violation of criminal law, unless the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was
unlawful; a transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal profit; or willful misconduct.	Pursuant to Tyco's articles of association, its directors and secretary are indemnified to the extent permitted under the Irish Companies Act. Under Irish law, Tyco may
not exempt its directors from liability for negligence or a breach of duty. However, where a breach of duty has been established, directors may be statutorily exempted by an Irish court from personal liability for negligence or breach of duty if,
among other things, the court determines that they have acted honestly and reasonably, and that they may fairly be excused as a result. The Irish Companies Act only permits
Tyco to enter into an agreement to pay the costs or discharge the liability of a director or the secretary where judgment is given in his/her favor in any civil or criminal action in respect of such costs or liability, or where an Irish court grants
relief because the director or secretary acted honestly and reasonably and ought fairly to be excused. This restriction does not apply to executives who are not directors or the secretary of Tyco. Any obligation of an Irish company which purports to
indemnify a director or secretary of an Irish company over and above this will be void under Irish law, whether contained in its articles of association or any contract between the director and the company. In addition, the articles of association of Tyco also contain an indemnity for officers (other than the secretary).

A corporation may provide directors and officers additional rights to indemnification, except the conduct described above, under any of the following: (i) the articles of incorporation or bylaws; (ii) a written agreement between the
director or officer and the corporation; (iii) by a resolution adopted by the board of directors; or (iv) by a resolution that is adopted, after notice, by a majority vote of all of the corporation's voting shares then issued and

time as the director or officer furnishes to the corporation a written affirmation of his or her good faith belief that he or she has not breached or failed to perform his or her duties to the corporation and a written undertaking to repay any
amounts advanced if it is determined that indemnification by the corporation is not required. The Johnson Controls articles of incorporation provide that Johnson Controls

However, this discretion must be
exercised bona fide in the best interests of Tyco as a whole. Any such indemnity will be limited in the manner described in the foregoing paragraph and by the Irish Companies Act. Irish companies may take out directors' and officers' liability insurance, as well as other types of insurance, for their directors and officers. The limitation of
liability and indemnification provisions described above may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative
litigation against Tyco's directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit Tyco and its shareholders. However, these provisions will not limit or eliminate Tyco's rights, or those of any shareholder, to seek
non-monetary relief such as injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director's duty of care. The provisions will not alter the liability of directors under U.S. federal securities laws. In addition, your investment may be materially
adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, Tyco pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. Tyco has entered into deeds of indemnification which are subject to the statutory restrictions outlined above. In addition, a non-Irish subsidiary of Tyco has also entered into indemnification
agreements with certain directors and officers of Tyco which is intended to provide broader indemnity protection (subject to Irish laws to the extent applicable).

not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted and the record date shall not be more than thirty nor less than two days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining shareholders
for such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board adopts the resolution relating to the payment of any dividend or other distribution.

Annual Meetings of Shareholders
The WBCL provides that a corporation must hold a meeting of shareholders annually at a time stated in or fixed in accordance with its bylaws. The Johnson Controls bylaws
provide that the annual meeting of shareholders is to be held on the fourth Wednesday in the month of January in each year at 2:00 p.m., or at such other time and/or date as shall be fixed by the board of directors of Johnson Controls, for the
purposes of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as may have been properly brought before the meeting in compliance with the provisions of the Johnson Controls bylaws. Notice Under the WBCL, a Wisconsin corporation must notify its
shareholders of an annual or special meeting not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days before such meeting unless the corporation's articles of incorporation or bylaws provide otherwise. Under the Johnson Controls bylaws, holders of Johnson Controls common stock are entitled to no more than 70 days' nor less than 10 days' prior notice for each annual meeting of
shareholders. Additionally, under the WBCL, at least 20 days' notice must be provided if the purpose of the meeting is to consider a plan of merger or share exchange
for which shareholder approval is required by law or the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of Johnson Controls' property outside the usual course of business. The notice must state that the purpose or one of the
purposes is to consider the plan of merger or share exchange and must be accompanied by a copy or summary of the plan.	As a matter of Irish law, Tyco is required to hold an annual general meeting at intervals of no more than 15 months from the previous annual general meeting, provided that an annual general meeting is held in each calendar year and no more than
nine months after Tyco's fiscal year-end. Because of the 15-month requirement described in this paragraph, Tyco's articles of association include provisions reflecting this requirement of Irish law. Tyco's articles of association provide that shareholder meetings may be held outside of Ireland (subject to compliance with the Irish Companies Act). Where a company holds its annual general
meeting or extraordinary general meeting outside of Ireland, the Irish Companies Act requires that the company, at its own expense, make all necessary arrangements to ensure that members can by technological means participate in the meeting without
leaving Ireland (unless all of the members entitled to attend and vote at the meeting consent in writing to the meeting being held outside of Ireland). Tyco's articles of
association provide that a resolution put to vote at any general meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is demanded in accordance with the Irish Companies Act. On a show of hands every member present in person and every proxy shall have one vote and on a poll every member who is present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for each share of which he is the holder.

Advance Notice Provisions
The Johnson Controls bylaws allow for business or nominations to be properly brought before an annual or special meeting by a shareholder provided that such shareholder gives timely notice thereof in proper written form to the secretary of Johnson
Controls. To be timely, a shareholder's notice must be delivered to and received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not less than
90 days nor more than 120 days in advance of the anniversary of the previous year's annual meeting; provided, however, that (i) in the event the annual meeting is called for a date that is more than 30 days before or more than
60 days after such anniversary date or (ii) in the case of a special meeting of shareholders, notice by the shareholder must be received no earlier than 120 days before the meeting and no later than the later of (a) the close of
business on the tenth day following the date on which such notice of the date of the annual or special meeting, as applicable, was mailed and (b) the 90th day prior to the meeting. To be proper, the notice must contain specific information concerning the person to be nominated or the matters to be brought before the meeting, as well as specific information concerning the
shareholder submitting the proposal or making the nomination, as provided in the Johnson Controls bylaws. The presiding officer of the annual meeting will determine whether any such shareholder proposal was made in accordance with the terms of the
Johnson Controls bylaws. If the presiding officer determines that such proposal was not made in accordance with the terms of the Johnson Controls bylaws, such proposal will not be acted upon.	Under Tyco's articles of association, in addition to any other applicable requirements, for business or nominations to be properly brought before an annual general meeting by a shareholder, such shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in
proper written form to the secretary of Tyco. To be timely for an annual general meeting, a shareholder's notice to the secretary as to the business or nominations to be
brought before the meeting must be delivered to or mailed and received at the registered office not less than 120 days before the first anniversary of the notice convening Tyco's annual general meeting for the prior year. In the event that the
date of the annual general meeting is changed by more than 30 days from the date contemplated at the time of the previous year's proxy statement, notice by the member must be so delivered by close of business on the day that is not less than the
later of (a) 150 days prior to the day of the contemplated annual general meeting or (b) ten days after the day on which public announcement of the date of the contemplated annual general meeting is first made by Tyco. In no event
shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual general meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a shareholder's notice. To be timely for nomination of a director at an extraordinary general meeting, notice must be delivered, or mailed and received not less than 120 days prior to the date of such
extraordinary general meeting. If the first public announcement of the date of the extraordinary general meeting is less than 130 days prior to the date of the meeting, by close of business 10 days after the day on which the public
announcement of the date of the extraordinary general meeting and nominees proposed by the board of directors is first made by Tyco.

Calling Special Meetings of Shareholders
Under the WBCL, a special meeting of shareholders may be called by the board of directors or any person authorized by the articles of incorporation or bylaws and must be
called upon receipt of written demand(s) by the holders of at least 10% of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the proposed special meeting describing one or more purposes for which the meeting is to be held.
Only business within the purpose described in the meeting notice may be conducted at a special meeting of shareholders. The Johnson Controls bylaws authorize a special
meeting of shareholders to be called only by (i) the Chairman of the Board, (ii) the Vice Chairman of the Board, (iii) the President or (iv) the board of directors and must be called by the Chairman of the Board or the President
upon the demand, in accordance with the procedures outlined in the Johnson Controls bylaws, made by the holders of record of shares representing at least 10% of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the special
meeting.	As provided under Irish law, extraordinary general meetings of Tyco may be convened (i) by the Tyco board of directors, (ii) on requisition of Tyco shareholders
holding not less than 10% of the paid-up share capital of Tyco carrying voting rights, (iii) on requisition of Tyco's auditors or (iv) in exceptional cases, by court order. Extraordinary general meetings are generally held for the purpose of approving shareholder resolutions as may be required from time to time. At any extraordinary general meeting, only such business shall be conducted as is set forth in
the notice thereof. In the case of an extraordinary general meeting requisitioned by the Tyco shareholders, the proposed purpose of the meeting must be set out in the
requisition notice. Upon receipt of any such valid requisition notice, the Tyco board of directors has 21 days to convene a meeting of Tyco shareholders to vote on the matters set out in the requisition notice. This meeting must be held within
two months of the receipt of the requisition notice. If the Tyco board of directors does not convene the meeting within such 21-day period, the requisitioning shareholders, or any of them representing more than one-half of the total voting rights of
all of them, may themselves convene a meeting, which meeting must be held within three months of Tyco's receipt of the requisition notice. Because of the requirements described in this paragraph, Tyco's articles of association include provisions
reflecting these requirements of Irish law. If the Tyco board of directors becomes aware that the net assets of Tyco are not greater than half or less of the amount of
Tyco's called-up share capital, it must convene an extraordinary general meeting of Tyco's shareholders not later than 28 days from the date that the directors learn of this fact to consider how to address the situation.

Notice of Shareholder or Shareholder Meetings
Under the WBCL, a corporation shall notify shareholders of the date, time and place of each annual and special shareholders' meeting not less than 10 days nor more
than 60 days before the meeting date, unless a different time is provided by the articles of incorporation or the bylaws. The Johnson Controls bylaws provide that
written or printed notice of each annual or special meeting stating the place, day and hour of the meeting shall be delivered to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting not less than 10 nor more than 70 days before the date of
such meeting.	As provided under Irish law, notice of an annual or extraordinary general meeting must be given to all Tyco shareholders and to the auditors of Tyco. Tyco's articles of association provide for the minimum notice period of 21 clear days' notice in writing for an annual meeting or an extraordinary general meeting to approve a special resolution
and 14 clear days' notice in writing for any other extraordinary general meeting. In each case the notice period excludes the date of mailing, the date of the meeting and is in addition to two days for deemed delivery where the notice is sent
electronically.
Quorum at Shareholder Meetings
Under the Johnson Controls bylaws, when specified business is to be voted upon by one or more classes or series of shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group, the holders of shares representing a majority of
the votes entitled to be cast on the matter by the voting group shall constitute a quorum of that voting group for the transaction of such business. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, other than for the purpose of objecting to
holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting, it is considered present, for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists, for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or must be
set for that adjourned meeting.	Tyco's articles of association provide that the holders of shares, present in person or by proxy entitling them to exercise a majority of the voting power on the relevant record date shall constitute a
quorum.
Adjournment of Shareholder Meetings
The Johnson Controls bylaws provide that, whether or not a quorum is present, the Chairman of the Board or holders of Johnson Controls common stock representing a majority of the voting power of all shares present in
person or by proxy may adjourn the meeting from time to time. No notice of the time and place of adjourned meetings need be given unless a new record date for such meeting is set.	Tyco's articles of association require any general meeting at which a quorum is not present to be adjourned. Tyco's articles of association also provides that the chairman may, with the consent of the meeting (and in
certain circumstances, without the consent of the meeting), and shall, if so directed by the meeting, adjourn a general meeting. The usual notice periods apply for the reconvening of an adjourned meeting where the meeting was adjourned due to the
lack of a quorum.

Voting Rights
Under the Johnson Controls articles of incorporation, each Johnson Controls shareholder is entitled to one vote for each share of Johnson Controls common stock that he or
she holds as of the record date for the meeting. Under the Johnson Controls bylaws, at any meeting of shareholders at which a quorum is present, except as otherwise
required by the Johnson Controls articles of incorporation or Johnson Controls bylaws or other law, rule or regulation, all matters other than the election of directors will be approved by shareholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to
vote on the matter if the votes cast in favor of such matter exceed the votes cast against such matter. Directors are elected in the manner described in " Number, Election and Qualification of Directors ."	Under Tyco's articles of association, each Tyco shareholder is entitled to one vote for each ordinary share that he or she holds as of the record date for the meeting. The
holders of preferred shares may also be entitled to a vote, depending on the terms upon which any such shares are issued. Except where a greater majority is required by the
Irish Companies Act, any question, business or resolution proposed at any general meeting shall be decided by a simple majority of the votes cast. At any meeting of Tyco,
all resolutions will be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is demanded by: (i) the chairman; (ii) at least three shareholders present in person or by proxy; (iii) any shareholder or shareholders present in person or proxy and
holding not less than one-tenth of the total voting rights of all shareholders having the right to vote at such meeting; or (iv) any shareholder or shareholders holding shares in Tyco conferring the right to vote at the meeting being shares on
which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to and not less than one-tenth of the total sum paid up on all the shares conferring that right. On a show of hands every
member present in person and every proxy shall have one vote and on a poll every member who is present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for each share of which he is the holder. Ordinary resolutions require the support of a simple majority of the votes of Tyco cast at a general meeting at which a quorum is present.

Voting Rights in an Extraordinary Transaction
Because Johnson Controls was incorporated before 1973 and has not opted into the WBCL's now-lower voting requirements, under the WBCL, unless the articles of incorporation
or bylaws require a greater vote or a vote by voting groups, (i) a plan of merger or share exchange must be approved, with certain exceptions, by each voting group entitled to vote separately on the plan by two-thirds of all votes entitled to be
cast on the plan by that voting group, (ii) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the corporation's property must be approved by two-thirds of all votes entitled to be cast on the transaction and (iii) a proposal to
dissolve a corporation must be approved by a majority of all votes entitled to be cast on the proposal.	Irish law requires approval of certain matters by special resolution (in person or by proxy) of the shareholders at a general meeting. Special resolutions require a
majority of not less than 75% of the votes of Tyco cast at a general meeting at which a quorum is present. Irish law also distinguishes between "ordinary business" and
"special business." Under Irish law as applied by Tyco's articles of association, all matters are deemed "special business" with the exception of (i) declaring a dividend, (ii) the consideration of Tyco's statutory financial statements and
the reports of the directors and auditors, (iii) the review by the shareholders of Tyco's affairs, (iv) the election and re-election of directors in place of those retiring, (v) the reappointment of auditors and (vi) the
authorization of directors to fix the remuneration of the auditors, all of which are deemed to be "ordinary business."
Shareholder Action by Written Consent
Under the WBCL, unless a corporation's articles of incorporation permit such action to be taken by less than unanimous consent, shareholders may take action without a
meeting only by a unanimous written consent of all shareholders entitled to vote on the action. The Johnson Controls articles of incorporation do not permit such action to
be taken by less than unanimous consent.	The Irish Companies Act provides that shareholders may approve a resolution without a meeting if (i) all shareholders sign the written resolution and (ii) the
company's articles of association permit written resolutions of shareholders. Tyco's articles of association provide shareholders with the right to take action by unanimous written consent as permitted by Irish law.

Shareholder Suits
Generally, Johnson Controls may be sued under federal securities law, and shareholders may bring derivative litigation against the corporation if the corporation does not
enforce its own rights. Under federal and state procedural rules, a shareholder must make a demand upon the board before bringing a derivative suit unless demand is excused. An individual also may commence a class action suit on behalf of himself or
herself and other similarly situated shareholders where the requirements for maintaining a class action have been met. The Johnson Controls bylaws designate that unless
Johnson Controls consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of Johnson Controls, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a
fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of Johnson Controls to Johnson Controls or Johnson Controls' shareholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the WBCL or the Johnson Controls
articles of incorporation or the Johnson Controls bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time), or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be the Circuit Court for Milwaukee County, Wisconsin (or
if the Circuit Court does not have jurisdiction, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of WisconsinMilwaukee Division).	In Ireland, the decision to institute proceedings is generally taken by a company's board of directors, who will usually be empowered to manage the company's business. In
certain limited circumstances, a shareholder may be entitled to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company. The central question at issue in deciding whether a minority shareholder may be permitted to bring a derivative action is whether,
unless the action is brought, a wrong committed against the company would otherwise go unredressed. The principal case law in Ireland indicates that to bring a derivative
action, a person must first establish a prima facie case (a) that the company is entitled to the relief claimed and (b) that the action falls within one of the five exceptions derived from case law, as follows: (i) where an ultra vires or illegal act is perpetrated; (ii) where
more than a bare majority is required to ratify the "wrong" complained of; (iii) where the shareholders' personal rights are infringed; (iv) where a fraud has been perpetrated upon a minority by those in control; or (v) where the justice of the case requires a minority to be permitted to institute proceedings. Shareholders may also bring proceedings against the
company where the affairs of the company are being conducted, or the powers of the directors are being exercised, in a manner oppressive to the shareholders or in disregard of their interests. Oppression connotes conduct that is burdensome, harsh or
wrong. Conduct must relate to the internal management of the company. This is an Irish statutory remedy, and the court can grant any order it sees fit, usually providing
for the disposition or transfer of the shares of the relevant shareholder.

Inspection of Books and Records
Under the WBCL, each shareholder and his or her agent or attorney has the right to inspect and copy, subject to specified requirements (including having a proper purpose),
the list of shareholders entitled to notice of a shareholders' meeting. The list shall be arranged by class or series of shares and show the address of and number of shares held by each shareholder. Inspections must be conducted during regular
business hours at the shareholder's expense. This right of inspection begins two business days after notice of the shareholders' meeting is given and continues through the meeting. This right of inspection may be exercised upon written demand. The WBCL further provides that both shareholders of record and beneficial shareholders of a corporation who satisfy specified requirements, and their attorneys and agents,
have the right to inspect and copy the corporation's bylaws and, subject to the requirements discussed below, minutes of meetings and consent actions of the board of directors and shareholders, records of actions taken by a committee of the board of
directors on behalf of the corporation, accounting records and the record of shareholders. Inspections must be conducted during regular business hours and are conducted at the shareholder's expense. Notice of a demand must be given five business days
before the date on which the shareholder wants to inspect and copy the records. For records other than the bylaws, the demand must be made in good faith and for proper purpose, and the person must have been a shareholder for at least six months
before his or her demand or hold at least five percent of the outstanding shares of the corporation. The WBCL also requires a corporation to mail a copy of its latest
financial statements to any shareholder who requests a copy in writing.	Under Irish law, shareholders have the right to: (i) receive a copy of
Tyco's memorandum and articles of association; (ii) inspect and obtain copies of the minutes of general meetings and resolutions of Tyco; (iii) inspect and receive a copy of the register of shareholders, register of directors and secretaries, register of directors' interests and other statutory
registers maintained by Tyco; (iv) receive copies of balance sheets and directors' and auditors' reports of Tyco that have previously been sent to
shareholders prior to an annual general meeting; and (v) receive balance sheets of any subsidiary of Tyco that have previously been sent to
shareholders prior to an annual general meeting for the preceding 10 years.

Disclosure of Interests in Shares
None of the WBCL, the Johnson Controls articles of incorporation or the Johnson Controls bylaws impose any obligation with respect to disclosure by shareholders of their interests in shares of Johnson Controls common
stock, except in connection with a shareholder making a demand to inspect the stock list or other books and records of Johnson Controls pursuant to the WBCL, a shareholder making a demand for appraisal of its shares under the WBCL in connection with
a merger or consolidation of Johnson Controls, shareholder demand for a special meeting or a shareholder making a proposal for business or nominations to be properly brought before a meeting of the shareholders.	Under the Irish Companies Act, there is a notification requirement for shareholders who acquire or cease to be interested in 3% of the shares of an Irish public limited company. A Tyco shareholder therefore must make
such a notification to Tyco if, as a result of a transaction, the shareholder will be interested in 3% or more of the relevant share capital of Tyco or if, as a result of a transaction, a shareholder who was interested in 3% or more of the relevant
share capital of Tyco ceases to be so interested. Where a shareholder is interested in 3% or more of the relevant share capital of Tyco (i.e., voting shares), any alteration of his or her interest that brings his or her total holding through the
nearest whole percentage number, whether an increase or a reduction, must be notified to Tyco.
	The relevant percentage figure is calculated by reference to the aggregate par value of the shares in which the shareholder is interested as a proportion of the entire par value of Tyco's ordinary share capital. Where
the percentage level of the shareholder's interest does not amount to a whole percentage, this figure may be rounded down to the next whole number. All such disclosures should be notified to Tyco within five business days of the alteration of the
shareholder's interests that gave rise to the requirement to notify.
	Where a person fails to comply with the notification requirements described above, no right or interest of any kind whatsoever in respect of any shares in Tyco concerned, held by such person, shall be enforceable by
such person, whether directly or indirectly, by action or legal proceeding, although such person may apply to the High Court of Ireland to have the rights attaching to the shares concerned reinstated.

rights generally are not available to holders of shares, such as shares of Johnson Controls common stock, that are listed on a national securities exchange, unless the transaction is a business combination involving a significant shareholder or the
corporation's articles of incorporation provide otherwise. The Johnson Controls articles of incorporation do not otherwise provide for dissenters' rights.	Generally, under Irish law, shareholders of an Irish company do not have dissenters' or appraisal rights. Under the European Communities (Cross-Border Mergers)
Regulations 2008 governing the merger of an Irish public limited company such as Tyco and a company incorporated in the European Economic Area (the European Economic Area includes all member states of the European Union and Norway, Iceland and
Liechtenstein) where that other company is the surviving entity, a shareholder (i) who voted against the special resolution approving the merger or (ii) of a company in which 90% of the shares are held by the other party to the merger, has
the right to request that the company acquire his or her shares for cash at a price determined in accordance with the share exchange ratio set out in the acquisition agreement. Under the Irish Companies Act, which governs the merger of Irish companies limited by shares, a shareholder of either of the merging companies who voted against the special resolution approving the merger, or any shareholder, other than the
successor company, where the successor company held 90% or more of the voting shares in the transferor company, may, not later than 15 days after the shareholder meeting of the relevant merging company at which the merger was approved, request
in writing that the successor company acquire his, her or its shares for cash.

Anti-Takeover Measures
The WBCL prevents a person from engaging in specified transactions with a corporation or from taking specific actions after that person has acquired a significant portion
of the corporation's shares. These protections fall into three categories: the business combination statute, which regulates specified types of transactions with
interested shareholders; the fair price statute, which regulates the price at which significant shareholders may acquire the remaining shares of the corporation; and the control share statute, which regulates the voting power of shares held by specified large shareholders. Business Combination
Statute The WBCL prohibits business combinations between Wisconsin corporations and a person who is an interested shareholder. This prohibition lasts
for three years after the date on which that person became an interested shareholder. Business combinations include mergers, consolidations, share exchanges, sales of assets, liquidations, dissolutions, and specified types of stock transactions and
stock issuances. An interested shareholder is a person who is the beneficial owner of at least 10% of the voting power of the outstanding voting stock or who is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and is the beneficial owner of at least 10%
of the voting power of the outstanding voting stock at any time within the prior three-year period. The prohibition on business combinations does not apply if the corporation's board of directors has approved, before the interested shareholder's
stock acquisition date, that business combination or the purchase of stock made by the interested shareholder on that stock acquisition date. The prohibition on business
combinations continues after the initial three-year period, unless: the corporation's board of directors has approved, before the interested shareholder's
stock acquisition date, the purchase of stock made by the interested shareholder on that stock acquisition date;	Business Combinations with Interested Shareholders Tyco's articles of association include a provision similar to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which generally prohibits Tyco from engaging in a business combination with an interested shareholder for a period of
three years following the date the person became an interested shareholder, unless, in general: the Tyco board of directors approved the transaction which resulted in the
shareholder becoming an interested shareholder; upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the shareholder becoming an interested shareholder, the shareholder owned at least 85% of the voting shares
outstanding at the time of commencement of such transaction, excluding for purposes of determining the number of voting shares outstanding (but not the outstanding voting shares owned by the interested shareholder), voting shares owned by persons who
are directors and also officers and by certain employee share plans; or the business combination is approved by the Tyco board of directors and authorized at an
annual or extraordinary general meeting of shareholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding voting shares that are not owned by the interested shareholder. A "business combination" is generally defined as a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested shareholder. An "interested shareholder" is
generally defined as a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, within three years prior to the date in question, owned 15% or more of the outstanding voting shares of Tyco. Irish Takeover Rules A transaction by virtue of which a third party is
seeking to acquire 30% or more of the voting rights of Tyco will be governed by the Irish Takeover Panel Act 1997 and the Irish Takeover Rules made thereunder and will be regulated by the Irish Takeover Panel. A detailed description of the Irish
Takeover Rules is included above under " Description of Tyco Ordinary SharesAnti-Takeover ProvisionsIrish Takeover Rules and Substantial Acquisition Rules. "

the business combination is approved by the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting stock not beneficially owned by the interested shareholder at a meeting called for that purpose; the interested shareholder pays a fair price, as defined in
the statute, for the shares it acquires in the business combination; or the business combination is a business combination specifically excluded from the
prohibition on business combinations by the WBCL. Fair Price Statute The WBCL provides that a business combination must be approved by the affirmative vote of at least all of the following: (i) 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by outstanding voting
shares of the corporation, voting together as a single voting group; and (ii) two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting shares other than voting shares beneficially owned by a significant shareholder who is a party to the
business combination or an affiliate or associate of a significant shareholder who is a party to the business combination, voting together as a single voting group. This voting requirement does not apply to a business combination if the corporation's
shareholders receive a fair price, as defined in the statute, for their shares from the significant shareholder in the business combination. A significant shareholder is a person who is the beneficial owner of at least 10% of the voting power of the
outstanding voting stock or who is an affiliate of the corporation and is the beneficial owner of at least 10% of the voting power of the outstanding voting stock at any time within the prior three-year period. Control Share Statute Under the WBCL, unless otherwise provided in a
corporation's articles of incorporation, the voting power of shares of a corporation held by any person, including shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities or upon exercise of options or warrants, in excess of 20% of the voting power
in the election of directors shall be limited to 10% of the full voting power of those shares. The full voting power of the excess shares may be restored by a vote of a majority of the corporation's shares. The person seeking restoration of full
voting power may vote on this resolution. The Wisconsin anti-takeover provisions are not applicable to the merger.	The Irish Takeover Rules are built on the following General Principles that will apply to any transaction regulated by the Panel: (i) in the event of an offer, all holders of security of the target company should be afforded equivalent treatment, and if a person acquires control of a company, the
other holders of securities must be protected; (ii) the holders of the securities in the target company must have sufficient time and information to
enable them to reach a properly informed decision on the offer; where it advises the holders of securities, the board of the target company must give its views on the effects of implementation of the offer on employment, conditions of employment and
the locations of the target company's places of business; (iii) the board of the target company must act in the interests of the company as a whole
and must not deny the holders of securities the opportunity to decide on the merits of the offer; (iv) false markets must not be created in the
securities of the target company, the bidder or of any other company concerned by the offer in such a way that the rise or fall of the prices of the securities becomes artificial and the normal functioning of the markets is distorted; (v) a bidder must announce an offer only after ensuring that he or she can fulfill in full any cash consideration, if such is offered, and after taking all
reasonable measures to secure the implementation of any other type of consideration; (vi) a target company must not be hindered in the conduct of its
affairs for longer than is reasonable by an offer for its securities; and (vii) a "substantial acquisition" of securities (whether such acquisition
is to be effected by one transaction or a series of transactions) shall take place only at an acceptable speed and shall be subject to adequate and timely disclosure. Irish
law also includes mandatory bid rules, other requirements in relation to offers, "substantial acquisition" rules and restrictions on "frustrating action," as described in more detail under " Description of Tyco Ordinary
SharesAnti-Takeover Provisions ."

Rights Agreement
Under the WBCL, unless otherwise provided for in the articles of incorporation, a corporation may, before issuing rights, options or warrants, include conditions that
prevent the holder of a specified percentage of the outstanding shares of the corporation, including subsequent transferees of the holder, from exercising those rights, options or warrants. Johnson Controls does not currently have a shareholder rights plan in effect.	Irish law does not expressly authorize or prohibit companies from issuing share purchase rights or adopting a shareholder rights plan as an anti-takeover measure; there is
no directly relevant case law on this issue. Tyco does not currently have a rights plan in place. Subject to the Irish Takeover Rules described above, the board of
directors also has power to issue any authorized and unissued shares of Tyco on such terms and conditions as it may determine (as described above under " Description of Tyco Ordinary SharesCapital StructureAuthorized
Share Capital ") and any such action should be taken in the best interests of Tyco. It is possible, however, that the terms and conditions of any issue of preferred shares could discourage a takeover or other transaction that
holders of some or a majority of the ordinary shares believe to be in their best interests or in which holders might receive a premium for their shares over the then market price of the shares. The board of directors has previously represented that,
it will not, without prior shareholder approval, approve the issuance or use of any of the preferred shares for any defensive or anti-takeover purpose or for the purpose of implementing any shareholder rights plan. Within these limits, the board of
directors may approve the issuance or use of preferred shares for capital raising, financing or acquisition needs or opportunities that has the effect of making a takeover of Tyco or other acquisition transaction more difficult or costly, as could
also be the case if the board of directors were to issue additional ordinary shares.
Variation of Rights Attaching to a Class or Series of 'Shares
Under the Johnson Controls articles of incorporation, the board of directors may designate a new series of preferred stock, which may have terms different from outstanding shares, without shareholder approval. Such
designation would specify the number of shares of any series and determine the voting rights, preferences, limitations and special rights, if any, of the shares of any series. A variation of the rights attached to issued shares of Johnson Controls
would be effected through an amendment to the Johnson Controls Articles of incorporation, as described under " Amendments of Governing Documents. "	As a matter of Irish law, any variation of class rights attaching to the issued Tyco ordinary shares must be approved in writing by holders of three-quarters of the issued shares in that class or with the sanction of
a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class, provided that, if the relevant class of holders has only one holder, that person present in person or by proxy shall constitute the necessary
quorum.

Amendments of Governing Documents
Articles The WBCL's general provisions
governing amendments to the articles of incorporation do not apply to Johnson Controls because it was incorporated before January 1, 1973. As a result, amendment of the Johnson Controls articles of incorporation requires the vote of two-thirds
of shares outstanding.	Pursuant to Irish law, Tyco's memorandum and articles of association may only be amended by the passing of a special resolution of shareholders.
Bylaws
Under the WBCL, the board of directors or the shareholders of a corporation may adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws, except to the extent that (i) the articles of incorporation reserve that power to
the shareholders, (ii) the shareholders provide in adopting, amending or repealing a particular bylaw, that the board of directors may not amend, repeal or readopt that bylaw or (iii) the shareholders set specific voting requirements for
the board of directors to amend, repeal or readopt that bylaw.
Except as described below, the Johnson Controls bylaws provide that the bylaws may be amended, altered or repealed, and new bylaws may be enacted, only by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority
interest of the stock of the corporation present or represented at a meeting of the shareholders at an annual or special meeting where the proposed action is properly brought before the meeting, or by a vote of not less than a majority of the entire
board of directors then in office.
Notwithstanding the above, amendment of the following sections of the Johnson Controls bylaws requires the affirmative vote of shareholders possessing at least four-fifths of the voting power of the then
outstanding shares of all classes of stock of Johnson Controls, or the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the board of directors then in office plus one director (i) Article II (Shareholders), Section 4 "Notice of Meeting" and

Article VIII (Amendment), Section 1 "Amendment by Shareholders" and Section 2 "Amendment by Directors."

Rights Upon Liquidation
Under the laws of the WBCL, in the event of a dissolution, a Wisconsin corporation must notify each shareholder (whether or not entitled to vote) of the proposed
shareholders' meeting. The notice shall state that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is to consider and to act upon dissolving the corporation. Unless the Johnson Controls articles of incorporation or bylaws require otherwise, the
proposal to dissolve a corporation is adopted if approved by a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the proposal. Dissolution is authorized upon adoption of the proposal. Upon dissolution, after discharging its liabilities the corporation
will distribute its remaining property among its shareholders according to their interests. Because Johnson Controls was incorporated before 1973 and it has not opted into
the lower voting requirements, a vote of dissolution requires the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote on the proposal. Under the
Johnson Controls articles of incorporation, in the event of the dissolution of Johnson Controls, whether voluntary or involuntary, after distribution to the holders of all shares of Preferred Stock which shall be entitled to a preference over the
holders of Johnson Controls common stock of the full preferential amounts to which they are entitled, the holders of common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the distribution of the remaining assets of the corporation.	The rights of shareholders of an Irish public limited company to a return of the company's assets on dissolution or winding up, following the settlement of all claims of
creditors, may be prescribed in the company's articles of association or the terms of any preferred shares issued by the company from time to time. The holders of preferred shares in particular may have the right to priority in a dissolution or
winding up of the company. If the company's articles of association contain no specific provisions in respect of a dissolution or winding up, then, subject to the priorities of any creditors, the assets will be distributed to the shareholders in
proportion to the paid-up nominal value of the shares held. Tyco's articles of association provide that the ordinary shareholders of Tyco are entitled to participate pro rata in a winding up, but that their right to do so is subject to the rights of
any holders of the preferred shares to participate under the terms of any class of such shares. Tyco may be dissolved and wound up at any time by way of a shareholders'
voluntary winding up or a creditors' winding up. In the case of a shareholders' voluntary winding up, a special resolution of shareholders is required. Tyco may also be dissolved by way of court order on the application of a creditor or the Director
of Corporate Enforcement (where the court is satisfied on a petition of the Director of Corporate Enforcement, that it is in the public interest that Tyco should be wound up), or by the Companies Registration Office (by way of strike off) as an
enforcement measure where Tyco has failed to file certain returns.

DESCRIPTION OF TYCO ORDINARY SHARES

As a result of the merger, Johnson Controls shareholders who receive the share consideration in the merger will become shareholders of Tyco, which, following the merger, is referred to as the combined company. Your rights as shareholders of the combined company will be governed by Irish law and the memorandum and articles of association of Tyco, which will become the memorandum and articles of association of the combined company, subject to the amendments contemplated by the Tyco governing documents proposals. The following description of Tyco ordinary shares is a summary. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Tyco memorandum and articles of association, which has been filed by Tyco with the SEC, and the proposed amendments to the Tyco memorandum and articles of association set forth on Annex B-1 and Annex B-2 to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. For more information about the proposed amendments to Tyco's memorandum and articles of association, see " Tyco ProposalsTyco Governing Documents Proposals (Resolutions 1 and 2) ." See also " Comparison of the Rights of Holders of Johnson Controls Common Stock and Tyco Ordinary Shares ."

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Issued Share Capital

At the record date of the Tyco EGM, the issued share capital of Tyco was $[ ], comprised of [ ] ordinary shares with a par value of $0.01 per share and no preference shares or ordinary A shares were in issue.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Authorized Share Capital

The authorized share capital of Tyco is $11,000,000 and €40,000, divided into 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares with a par value of $0.01 per share, 100,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.01 per share and 40,000 ordinary A shares with a par value of €1.00 per share. The authorized share capital includes 40,000 ordinary A shares with a par value of €1.00 per share in order, at the time of its incorporation, to satisfy statutory requirements for the incorporation of all Irish public limited companies.

Tyco may issue shares subject to the maximum prescribed by its authorized share capital contained in its memorandum of association. The number of shares to be issued to Johnson Controls shareholders under the merger agreement may exceed the available authorized but unissued number of ordinary shares under the current authorized share capital. Accordingly it is proposed to increase the authorized share capital of Tyco immediately following the Tyco share consolidation to 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares (the number of authorized ordinary shares of Tyco immediately prior to the Tyco share consolidation) at the Tyco EGM. Since almost all of the current authorized share capital of Tyco ordinary shares will be used in the issuance of the combined company ordinary shares in the merger, it will be further proposed at the Tyco EGM that Tyco shareholders approve an ordinary resolution to increase the authorized share capital of Tyco to a total of 2,000,000,000 ordinary shares, 200,000,000 preferred shares and 40,000 ordinary A shares following consummation of the merger.

Under Tyco's articles of association, the board of directors is authorized to issue the entire authorized preferred share capital of Tyco (i.e., up to a maximum of up to 100,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.01 per share), including on a non-preemptive basis, with discretion as to the terms attaching to the preference shares, including as to voting, dividend and conversion rights and priority relative to other classes of shares with respect to dividends and upon a liquidation.

As a matter of Irish company law, the directors of a company may issue new ordinary or preferred shares (including the grant of options and issue of warrants) without shareholder approval once authorized to do so by the articles of association of the company or by an ordinary resolution adopted

by the shareholders at a general meeting. An ordinary resolution requires over 50% of the votes of a company's shareholders cast at a general meeting. The authority conferred can be granted for a maximum period of five years, at which point it will lapse unless renewed by the shareholders of the company by an ordinary resolution. Because of this requirement of Irish law, Tyco's articles of association authorize the board of directors of Tyco to issue new ordinary, preferred and ordinary A shares without shareholder approval for a period of five years from September 8, 2014.

As a result of the increase in the authorized share capital for the purposes of issuing shares in the merger, it will be proposed at the Tyco EGM that Tyco shareholders authorize the directors of Tyco pursuant to an ordinary resolution to issue ordinary shares up to the authorized but unissued share capital of Tyco as increased for the purposes of issuing shares under the merger until the earlier of the Tyco annual general meeting in 2017 or [ ], 2017. Following consummation of the merger, the combined company will have used almost all of its authorized but unissued ordinary share capital and therefore the authority of its directors to issue shares. Accordingly, it will be further proposed at the Tyco EGM that Tyco shareholders authorize the directors of Tyco pursuant to an ordinary resolution to issue shares up to a maximum par value of $[ ] until the earlier of the Tyco annual general meeting in 2017 or [ ], 2017, which will represent approximately 33% of the enlarged issued share capital immediately following consummation of the merger. The consummation of the merger is not conditional on the passing of this Tyco allotment authority proposal.

Notwithstanding this authority, under the Irish Takeover Rules the board of directors would not be permitted to issue any shares in Tyco, including the preference shares, during a period when an offer has been made for Tyco or is believed to be imminent unless the issue is (i) approved by shareholders at a general meeting, (ii) consented to by the Irish Takeover Panel on the basis it would not constitute action frustrating the offer, (iii) consented to by the Irish Takeover Panel and approved by the holders of more than 50% of the voting rights in Tyco, (iv) consented to by the Irish Takeover Panel in circumstances where a contract for the issue of the shares had been entered into prior to that period or (v) consented to by the Irish Takeover Panel in circumstances where the issue of the shares was decided by the directors of Tyco prior to that period and either action has been taken to implement the issuance (whether in part or in full) prior to such period or the issuance was otherwise in the ordinary course of business.

The board of directors of Tyco has previously represented that it will not, without prior shareholder approval, approve the issuance or use of any of the preferred shares for any defensive or anti-takeover purpose or for the purpose of implementing any shareholder rights plan. Within these limits, the board of directors may approve the issuance or use of preferred shares for capital raising, financing or acquisition needs or opportunities that has the effect of making a takeover of Tyco or other acquisition transaction more difficult or costly, as could also be the case if the board of directors were to issue additional ordinary shares.

The authorized but unissued share capital may be increased or reduced by way of an ordinary resolution of Tyco's shareholders. The shares comprising the authorized share capital of Tyco may be divided into shares of such par value as the resolution shall prescribe.

The rights and restrictions to which the ordinary shares will be subject are prescribed in Tyco's articles of association. Tyco's articles of association entitles the board of directors, without shareholder approval, to determine the terms of the preferred shares issued by Tyco. Preferred shares may be preferred as to dividends, rights on a winding up or voting in such manner as the directors of Tyco may resolve. The preferred shares may also be redeemable at the option of the holder of the preferred shares or at the option of Tyco, and may be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any other class or classes of Tyco, depending on the terms of such preferred shares.

Irish law does not recognize fractional shares held of record; accordingly, Tyco's articles of association does not provide for the issuance of fractional shares of Tyco, and the official Irish register of Tyco will not reflect any fractional shares.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Dividends

Under Irish law, dividends and distributions may only be made from distributable reserves. Distributable reserves, broadly, means the accumulated realized profits of Tyco less accumulated realized losses of Tyco. In addition, no distribution or dividend may be made unless the net assets of Tyco are equal to, or in excess of, the aggregate of Tyco's called up share capital plus undistributable reserves and the distribution does not reduce Tyco's net assets below such aggregate. Undistributable reserves include the share premium account, the par value of shares acquired by Tyco and the amount by which Tyco's accumulated unrealized profits, so far as not previously utilized by any capitalization, exceed Tyco's accumulated unrealized losses, so far as not previously written off in a reduction or reorganization of capital.

The determination as to whether or not Tyco has sufficient distributable reserves to fund a dividend must be made by reference to "relevant financial statements" of Tyco. The "relevant financial statements" will be either the last set of unconsolidated annual audited financial statements or unaudited financial statements prior to the declaration of a dividend prepared in accordance with the Irish Companies Act, which give a "true and fair view" of Tyco's unconsolidated financial position and accord with accepted accounting practice. The relevant financial statements must be filed in the Companies Registration Office (the official public registry for companies in Ireland).

As of [ ], being the last practicable date prior to the publication of this document, Tyco had $[ ] billion of distributable reserves (by reference to its most recent relevant financial statements, being the financial statements for the year-ended September 25, 2015, as adjusted for sums paid in dividends since that date). It is expected that Johnson Controls' Automotive Experience business will be spun-off to the combined company's shareholders shortly after the consummation of the merger, which will have the effect of reducing the combined company's distributable reserves by approximately the value of the Automotive Experience business. It is expected that shortly after the consummation of the merger, Tyco (at that stage renamed as Johnson Controls plc) will increase its distributable reserves by applying to the High Court of Ireland for a capital reduction. See " Risk Factors " and " Tyco ProposalsTyco Distributable Reserves Creation Proposal (Resolution 11). "

The mechanism as to who declares a dividend and when a dividend shall become payable is governed by the articles of association of Tyco. Tyco 's articles of association authorizes the directors to declare such dividends as appear justified from the profits of Tyco without the approval of the shareholders at a general meeting. The board of directors may also recommend a dividend to be approved and declared by the shareholders at a general meeting. The dividends can be declared and paid in the form of cash or non-cash assets.

The directors of Tyco may deduct from any dividend payable to any shareholder all sums of money (if any) payable by him or her to Tyco in relation to the shares of Tyco.

Pursuant to the articles of association of Tyco, the directors may determine that any dividend which has remained unclaimed for twelve years from the date of its declaration shall be forfeited and cease to remain owing by Tyco.

The directors of Tyco are also entitled to issue shares with preferred rights to participate in dividends declared by Tyco. The holders of such preferred shares may, depending on their terms, be entitled to claim arrears of a declared dividend out of subsequently declared dividends in priority to ordinary shareholders.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Preemptive Rights and Advance Subscription Rights

Certain statutory pre-emption rights apply automatically in favor of Tyco's shareholders where shares in Tyco are to be issued for cash (including pursuant to non-compensatory options). Statutory preemption rights do not apply (i) where shares are issued for non-cash consideration (such as in a stock-for-stock acquisition), (ii) to the issue of non-equity shares (that is, shares that have the right to participate only up to a specified amount in any income or capital distribution) or (iii) where shares are issued pursuant to an employee option or similar equity plan. However, Tyco opted out of these pre-emption rights in its articles of association adopted on September 8, 2014 as permitted under Irish company law for the maximum five year period. The current opt-out from pre-emption rights of Tyco only applies in respect of its current authorized but unissued share capital. Since the issuance of the combined company ordinary shares pursuant to the merger will use almost all of the current authorized but unissued share capital, it will be proposed at the Tyco EGM that Tyco shareholders authorize the directors of Tyco pursuant to a special resolution to issue ordinary shares for cash without the application of preemption rights of up to a maximum par value of $[ ], which will represent approximately 5% of the enlarged issued share capital immediately following the consummation of the merger, with such authority expiring on the earlier of the Tyco annual general meeting in 2017 or [ ], unless otherwise varied, renewed or revoked. The approval of the merger is not conditional on the passing of the Tyco preemption waiver proposal.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Overview

Article 3 of Tyco's articles of association provides that any ordinary share which Tyco has acquired or agreed to acquire shall be deemed to be a redeemable share. Accordingly, for Irish company law purposes, the repurchase of ordinary shares by Tyco will technically be effected as a redemption of those shares as described below under " Repurchases and Redemptions by Tyco " If the articles of association of Tyco did not contain Article 3(d), repurchases by Tyco would be subject to many of the same rules that apply to purchases of Tyco ordinary shares by subsidiaries described below under " Repurchases and Redemptions by Tyco ", including the shareholder approval requirements described below and the requirement that any on-market purchases be effected on a "recognized stock exchange." Except where otherwise noted, references to repurchasing or buying back ordinary shares of Tyco, refer to the redemption of ordinary shares by Tyco pursuant to Article 3(d) of the articles of association or the purchase of ordinary shares of Tyco by a subsidiary of Tyco, in each case in accordance with Tyco's articles of association and the Irish Companies Act as described below.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Repurchases and Redemptions by Tyco

Under Irish law, a company can issue redeemable shares and redeem them out of distributable reserves (which are described above under " Dividends ") or the proceeds of a new issue of shares for that purpose. As of [ ], being the last practicable date prior to the publication of this document, Tyco had $[ ] billion of distributable reserves (by reference to its most recent relevant financial statements, being the financial statements for the year-ended September 25, 2015, as adjusted for sums paid in dividends since that date). It is expected that Johnson Controls' Automotive Experience business will be spun-off to the combined company's shareholders shortly after the consummation of the merger, which will have the effect of reducing the combined company's distributable reserves by approximately the value of the Automotive Experience business. It is expected that shortly after the consummation of the merger, Tyco (at that stage renamed as Johnson Controls plc) will increase its

distributable reserves by applying to the High Court of Ireland for a capital reduction. See " Risk Factors " and " Tyco ProposalsTyco Distributable Reserves Creation Proposal (Resolution 11) ."

The issue of redeemable shares may only be made by Tyco where the nominal value of the issued share capital that is not redeemable is not less than 10% of the nominal value of the total issued share capital of Tyco. All redeemable shares must also be fully paid and the terms of redemption of the shares must provide for payment on redemption. Shareholder approval will not be required to redeem Tyco ordinary shares. The board of directors of Tyco will also be entitled to issue preferred shares which may be redeemed at the option of either Tyco or the shareholder, depending on the terms of such preferred shares. For additional information on redeemable shares, see " Capital StructureAuthorized Share Capital. "

Repurchased and redeemed shares may be canceled or held as treasury shares. The nominal value of treasury shares held by Tyco at any time must not exceed 10% of the aggregate of the par value and share premium in respect of the allotment of Tyco shares together with the par value of any shares acquired by Tyco. While Tyco holds shares as treasury shares, it cannot exercise any voting rights in respect of those shares. Treasury shares may be canceled by Tyco or re-issued subject to certain conditions.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Purchases by Subsidiaries of Tyco

Under Irish law, it may be permissible for an Irish or non-Irish subsidiary to purchase shares of Tyco either on-market or off-market. A general authority of the shareholders of Tyco is required to allow a subsidiary of Tyco to make on-market purchases of Tyco ordinary shares; however, as long as this general authority has been granted, no specific shareholder authority for a particular on-market purchase by a subsidiary of Tyco ordinary shares is required. Such an authority was approved by Tyco's shareholders for adoption at the Tyco annual general meeting on March 9, 2016. The authority expires on the earlier of the 2017 annual general meeting of Tyco or September 9, 2017. In order for a subsidiary of Tyco to make an on-market purchase of Tyco's shares, such shares must be purchased on a "recognized stock exchange." The NYSE, on which the shares of Tyco are listed, is a recognized stock exchange for this purpose by Irish company law. For an off-market purchase by a subsidiary of Tyco, the proposed purchase contract must be authorized by special resolution of the shareholders of Tyco before the contract is entered into. The person whose shares are to be bought back cannot vote in favor of the special resolution and, from the date of the notice of the meeting at which the resolution approving the contract is to be proposed, the purchase contract must be on display or must be available for inspection by shareholders at the registered office of Tyco.

The number of shares held by the subsidiaries of Tyco at any time will count as treasury shares and will be included in any calculation of the permitted treasury share threshold of 10% of the aggregate of the par value and share premium in respect of the allotment of Tyco shares together with the par value of any shares acquired by Tyco. While a subsidiary holds shares of Tyco, it cannot exercise any voting rights in respect of those shares. The acquisition of the shares of Tyco by a subsidiary must be funded out of distributable reserves of the subsidiary.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Lien on Shares, Calls on Shares and Forfeiture of Shares

Tyco's articles of association provide that Tyco will have a first and paramount lien on every share for all moneys payable, whether presently due or not, in respect of such Tyco ordinary share. Subject to the terms of their allotment, directors may call for any unpaid amounts in respect of any shares to be paid, and if payment is not made, the shares may be forfeited. These provisions are standard inclusions in the articles of association of an Irish company limited by shares, such as Tyco. The shares to be issued to Johnson Controls shareholders in the merger will be fully paid up.

Under Tyco's articles of association, the board of directors may resolve to capitalize any amount credited to any reserve or fund available for distribution or the share premium account or other undistributable reserves of Tyco for issuance and distribution to shareholders as fully paid up bonus shares on the same basis of entitlement as would apply in respect of a dividend distribution.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Reduction of Share Capital

Tyco may, by ordinary resolution, reduce its authorized but unissued share capital in any way and reduce the nominal value of any of its shares. Tyco may also, by special resolution and subject to confirmation by the High Court of Ireland (or as otherwise permitted under the Irish Companies Act), reduce or cancel its issued share capital in any way.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" General Meetings of Shareholders

Tyco is required to hold annual general meetings at intervals of no more than fifteen months, provided that an annual general meeting is held in each calendar year no more than nine months after Tyco's fiscal year-end.

Tyco's articles of association provide that shareholder meetings may be held outside of Ireland (subject to compliance with the Irish Companies Act). Where a company holds its annual general meeting or extraordinary general meeting outside of Ireland, the Irish Companies Act requires that the company, at its own expense, make all necessary arrangements to ensure that members can by technological means participate in the meeting without leaving Ireland (unless all of the members entitled to attend and vote at the meeting consent in writing to the meeting being held outside of Ireland).

Extraordinary general meetings of Tyco may be convened by (i) the board of directors, (ii) on requisition of the shareholders holding not less than 10% of the paid up share capital of Tyco carrying voting rights or (iii) on requisition of Tyco's auditors. Extraordinary general meetings are generally held for the purposes of approving shareholder resolutions of Tyco as may be required from time to time.

Notice of a general meeting must be given to all shareholders of Tyco and to the auditors of Tyco. Tyco's articles of association provide that the maximum notice period is 60 days. The minimum notice periods are 21 days' notice in writing for an annual general meeting or an extraordinary general meeting to approve a special resolution and 14 days' notice in writing for any other extraordinary general meeting. In each case the notice period excludes the date of mailing, the date of the meeting and is in addition to two days for deemed delivery where this is by electronic means. General meetings may be called by shorter notice, but only with the consent of the auditors of Tyco and all of the shareholders entitled to attend and vote thereat. Because of the 21-day and 14-day requirements described in this paragraph, Tyco's articles of association includes provisions reflecting these requirements of Irish law.

In the case of an extraordinary general meeting convened by shareholders of Tyco, the proposed purpose of the meeting must be set out in the requisition notice. The requisition notice can contain any resolution. Upon receipt of this requisition notice, the board of directors has 21 days to convene a meeting of Tyco's shareholders to vote on the matters set out in the requisition notice. This meeting must be held within two months of the receipt of the requisition notice. If the board of directors does

not convene the meeting within such 21-day period, the requisitioning shareholders, or any of them representing more than one half of the total voting rights of all of them, may themselves convene a meeting, which meeting must be held within three months of the receipt of the requisition notice.

Irish law also distinguishes between "ordinary business" and "special business." Under Irish law as applied by Tyco's articles of association, all matters are deemed "special business" with the exception of: (i) declaring a dividend; (ii) the consideration of Tyco's statutory financial statements, balance sheets and the reports of the directors and auditors, (iii) the review by the shareholders of Tyco's affairs, (iv) the election and re-election of directors in place of those retiring, (v) the reappointment of the retiring auditors and (vi) the authorization of directors to fix remuneration of the auditors, all of which are deemed to be "ordinary business." If no resolution is made in respect of the reappointment of an auditor at an annual general meeting, the previous auditor will be deemed to have continued in office. Directors are elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by shareholders at an annual general meeting and, pursuant to the articles of association, serve for one-year terms. Any nominee for director who does not receive a majority of the votes cast is not elected to the board. However, because Irish law requires a minimum of two directors at all times, in the event that an election results in no directors being elected, each of the two nominees receiving the greatest number of votes in favor of his or her election shall hold office until his or her successor shall be elected. In the event that an election results in only one director being elected, that director shall be elected and shall serve for a one-year term, and the nominee receiving the greatest number of votes in favor of their election shall hold office until his or her successor shall be elected.

If the directors become aware that the net assets of Tyco are half or less of the amount of Tyco's called-up share capital, the directors of Tyco must convene an extraordinary general meeting of Tyco's shareholders not later than 28 days from the date that they learn of this fact. This meeting must be convened for the purposes of considering whether any, and if so what, measures should be taken to address the situation.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" General

Where a poll is demanded at a general meeting, every shareholder shall have one vote for each ordinary share that he or she holds as of the record date for the meeting. Voting rights on a poll may be exercised by shareholders registered in Tyco's share register as of the record date for the meeting or by a duly appointed proxy of such a registered shareholder, which proxy need not be a shareholder. Where interests in shares are held by a nominee trust company this company may exercise the rights of the beneficial holders on their behalf as their proxy. All proxies must be appointed in the manner prescribed by the Irish Companies Act. The articles of association of Tyco permit the appointment of proxies by the shareholders to be notified to Tyco electronically, when permitted by the directors.

Tyco's articles of association provide that all resolutions shall be decided by a show of hands unless a poll is demanded by the chairman, by at least three shareholders as of the record date for the meeting or by any shareholder or shareholders holding not less than 10% of the total voting rights of Tyco as of the record date for the meeting. Each Tyco shareholder of record as of the record date for the meeting has one vote at a general meeting on a show of hands.

In accordance with the articles of association of Tyco, the directors of Tyco may from time to time cause Tyco to issue preferred shares. These preferred shares may have such voting rights as may be specified in the terms of such preferred shares (e.g., they may carry more votes per share than ordinary shares or may entitle their holders to a class vote on such matters as may be specified in the terms of the preferred shares).

Treasury shares will not be entitled to vote at general meetings of shareholders.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Supermajority Voting

Irish company law requires "special resolutions" of the shareholders at a general meeting to approve certain matters. A special resolution requires not less than 75% of the votes cast of Tyco's shareholders at a general meeting. This may be contrasted with "ordinary resolutions," which require a simple majority of the votes of Tyco's shareholders cast at a general meeting. Examples of matters requiring special resolutions include:

A scheme of arrangement with shareholders requires a court order from the High Court of Ireland and the approval of (i) 75% of the voting shareholders by value and (ii) greater than 50% in number of the voting shareholders, at a meeting called to approve the scheme.

Variation of all or any special rights attached to any class of shares of Tyco is addressed in Tyco's articles of association as well as the Irish Companies Act. Any variation of class rights attaching to the issued shares of Tyco must be approved by a special resolution of the shareholders of the class affected.

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of Tyco ordinary shares outstanding which entitle the holders to a majority of the voting power of Tyco constitutes a quorum for the conduct of business. No business may take place at a general meeting of Tyco if a quorum is not present in person or by proxy. The board of directors has no authority to waive quorum requirements stipulated in Tyco's articles of association.

There are a number of mechanisms for acquiring an Irish public limited company, including:

Under Irish law, there is no requirement for a company's shareholders to approve a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of a company's property and assets. However, Tyco's articles of association provide that the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting shares on the relevant record date is required to approve a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of its property or assets.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Disclosure of Interests in Shares

Under the Irish Companies Act, there is a notification requirement for shareholders who acquire or cease to be interested in 3% of the shares of an Irish public limited company. A shareholder of Tyco must therefore make such a notification to Tyco if as a result of a transaction the shareholder will be interested in 3% or more of the shares of Tyco; or if as a result of a transaction a shareholder who was interested in more than 3% of the shares of Tyco ceases to be so interested. Where a shareholder is interested in more than 3% of the shares of Tyco, any alteration of his or her interest that brings his or her total holding through the nearest whole percentage number, whether an increase or a reduction, must be notified to Tyco. The relevant percentage figure is calculated by reference to the aggregate par value of the shares in which the shareholder is interested as a proportion of the entire par value of Tyco's share capital. Where the percentage level of the shareholder's interest does not amount to a whole percentage this figure may be rounded down to the next whole number. All such disclosures should be notified to Tyco within 5 business days of the transaction or alteration of the shareholder's interests that gave rise to the requirement to notify.

notification requirements described above no right or interest of any kind whatsoever in respect of any shares in Tyco concerned, held by such person, shall be enforceable by such person, whether directly or indirectly, by action or legal proceeding. However, such person may apply to the court to have the rights attaching to the shares concerned reinstated.

In addition to the above disclosure requirement, Tyco, under the Irish Companies Act, may by notice in writing require a person whom Tyco knows or has reasonable cause to believe to be, or at any time during the three years immediately preceding the date on which such notice is issued, to have been interested in shares comprised in Tyco's relevant share capital to (a) indicate whether or not it is the case and (b) where such person holds or has during that time held an interest in the shares of Tyco, to give such further information as may be required by Tyco including particulars of such person's own past or present interests in shares of Tyco. Any information given in response to the notice is required to be given in writing within such reasonable time as may be specified in the notice.

Where such a notice is served by Tyco on a person who is or was interested in shares of Tyco and that person fails to give Tyco any information required within the reasonable time specified, Tyco may apply to court for an order directing that the affected shares be subject to certain restrictions. Failure to comply with such a court order is a criminal offence.

Under the Irish Companies Act, the restrictions that may be placed on the shares by the court are as follows:

Where the shares in Tyco are subject to these restrictions, the court may order the shares to be sold and may also direct that the shares shall cease to be subject to these restrictions.

Irish law does not expressly authorize or prohibit companies from issuing share purchase rights or adopting a shareholder rights plan as an anti-takeover measure; there is no directly relevant case law on this issue. Tyco does not currently have a rights plan in place.

Subject to the Irish Takeover Rules described below, the board of directors also has power to issue any authorized and unissued shares of Tyco on such terms and conditions as it may determine (as described above under " Capital StructureAuthorized Share Capital ") and any such action should be taken in the best interests of Tyco. It is possible, however, that the terms and conditions of any issue of preferred shares could discourage a takeover or other transaction that holders of some or a majority of the ordinary shares believe to be in their best interests or in which holders might receive a premium for their shares over the then market price of the shares. The board of directors has previously represented that it will not, without prior shareholder approval, approve the issuance or use of any of the preferred shares for any defensive or anti-takeover purpose or for the purpose of implementing any shareholder rights plan. Within these limits, the board of directors may approve the issuance or use of preferred shares for capital raising, financing or acquisition needs or opportunities that has the effect of making a takeover of Tyco or other acquisition transaction more difficult or costly, as could also be the case if the board of directors were to issue additional ordinary shares.

Under certain circumstances, a person who acquires shares or other voting rights in Tyco may be required under the Irish Takeover Rules to make a mandatory cash offer for the remaining outstanding shares in Tyco at a price not less than the highest price paid for the shares by the acquirer (or any parties acting in concert with the acquirer) during the previous 12 months. This mandatory bid requirement is triggered if, unless the Panel otherwise consents, an acquisition of shares would (i) increase the aggregate holding of an acquirer (including the holdings of any parties acting in concert with the acquirer) to shares representing 30% or more of the voting rights in Tyco, or (ii) in the case of a person holding (together with its concert parties) shares representing 30% or more of the voting rights in Tyco, after giving effect to the acquisition, increase the percentage of the voting rights held by that person (together with its concert parties) by 0.05% within a 12-month period. Any person (excluding any parties acting in concert with the holder) holding shares representing more than 50% of the voting rights of a company is not subject to these mandatory offer requirements in purchasing additional securities.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Voluntary Bid; Requirements to Make a Cash Offer and Minimum Price Requirements

A voluntary offer is an offer that is not a mandatory offer. If a bidder or any of its concert parties acquire ordinary shares of Tyco within the period of three months prior to the commencement of the offer period, the offer price must be not less than the highest price paid for Tyco ordinary shares by the bidder or its concert parties during that period. The Irish Takeover Panel has the power to extend the "look back" period to 12 months if the Irish Takeover Panel, having regard to the General Principles, believes it is appropriate to do so.

If the bidder or any of its concert parties has acquired ordinary shares of Tyco (i) during the period of 12 months prior to the commencement of the offer period which represent more than 10% of the total ordinary shares of Tyco or (ii) at any time after the commencement of the offer period, the offer shall be in cash (or accompanied by a full cash alternative) and the price per Tyco ordinary share shall be not less than the highest price paid by the bidder or its concert parties during, in the case of (i), the period of 12 months prior to the commencement of the offer period and, in the case of (ii), the offer period. The Irish Takeover Panel may apply this rule to a bidder who, together with its concert parties, has acquired less than 10% of the total ordinary shares of Tyco in the 12-month period prior to the commencement of the offer period if the Panel, having regard to the General Principles, considers it just and proper to do so.

An offer period will generally commence from the date of the first announcement of the offer or proposed offer.

Potentially frustrating actions such as (i) the issue of shares, options or convertible securities, (ii) material acquisitions or disposals, (iii) entering into contracts other than in the ordinary course of business or (iv) any action, other than seeking alternative offers, which may result in frustration of an offer, are prohibited during the course of an offer or at any time during which the board has reason to believe an offer is imminent. Exceptions to this prohibition are available where:

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Corporate Governance

Tyco's articles of association delegates the day-to-day management of Tyco to the board of directors. The board of directors may then delegate management of Tyco to committees, executives or to a management team, but regardless, the directors will remain responsible, as a matter of Irish law, for the proper management of the affairs of Tyco. The standing committees which Tyco currently has in place include a Compensation Committee, a Nominating and Governance Committee and an Audit Committee.

Table of Contents

Tyco's corporate governance guidelines and general approach to corporate governance as reflected in Tyco's articles of association and its internal policies and procedures is guided by U.S. practice and applicable federal securities laws and regulations and NYSE requirements. Although Tyco is an Irish public limited company, Tyco is not subject to the listing rules of the Irish Stock Exchange or the listing rules of the U.K. Listing Authority and Tyco is therefore not subject to, nor has Tyco adopted, the U.K. Corporate Governance Code, any guidelines issued by the Investment Association or the Pre-Emption Group Statement of Principles or any other non-statutory Irish or U.K. governance standards or guidelines. While there are many similarities and overlaps between the U.S. corporate governance standards applied by Tyco and the U.K. Corporate Governance Code and other Irish/U.K. governance standards or guidelines, there are differences, in particular relating to the extent of the authorization to issue share capital and effect share repurchases that may be granted to the board and the criteria for determining the independence of directors.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Duration; Dissolution; Rights upon Liquidation

Tyco may be dissolved and wound up at any time by way of a shareholders' voluntary winding up or a creditors' winding up. In the case of a shareholders' voluntary winding up, a special resolution of shareholders is required. Tyco may also be dissolved by way of court order on the application of a creditor or the Director of Corporate Enforcement (where the court is satisfied on a petition of the Director of Corporate Enforcement, that it is in the public interest that Tyco should be wound up), or by the Companies Registration Office (by way of strike off) as an enforcement measure where Tyco has failed to file certain returns.

The rights of the shareholders to a return of Tyco's assets on dissolution or winding up, following the settlement of all claims of creditors, may be prescribed in Tyco's articles of association or the terms of any preferred shares issued by the directors of Tyco from time to time. The holders of preferred shares in particular may have the right to priority in a dissolution or winding up of Tyco. If the articles of association contain no specific provisions in respect of a dissolution or winding up then, subject to the priorities of any creditors, the assets will be distributed to shareholders in proportion to the paid-up par value of the shares held. Tyco's articles of association provide that the ordinary shareholders of Tyco are entitled to participate pro rata in a winding up, but their right to do so may be subject to the rights of any preferred shareholders to participate under the terms of any series or class of preferred shares.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Stock Exchange Listing

Tyco ordinary shares are listed on the NYSE under the symbol "TYC." Following the consummation of the merger, the ordinary shares of Tyco (which will be renamed as Johnson Controls plc) will be listed on the NYSE under the symbol "JCI." Tyco is not listed on the Irish Stock Exchange at the present time.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Transfer and Registration of Shares

Tyco's share register is maintained by its transfer agent. Registration in this share register is determinative of membership in Tyco. A shareholder of Tyco who holds shares beneficially is not the holder of record of such shares. Instead, the depository (for example, Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC) or other nominee is the holder of record of such shares. Accordingly, a transfer of shares from a person who holds such shares beneficially to a person who also holds such shares beneficially through

Table of Contents

the same depository or other nominee is not registered in Tyco's official share register, as the depository or other nominee will remain the record holder of such shares.

A written instrument of transfer is required under Irish law in order to register on Tyco's official share register any transfer of shares (i) from a person who holds such shares directly to any other person, (ii) from a person who holds such shares beneficially to a person who holds such shares directly, or (iii) from a person who holds such shares beneficially to another person who holds such shares beneficially where the transfer involves a change in the depository or other nominee that is the record owner of the transferred shares. An instrument of transfer is required for a shareholder who directly holds shares to transfer those shares into his or her own broker account (or vice versa). A shareholder who directly holds shares may transfer those shares into his or her own broker account to be held through DTC (or vice versa) without giving rise to Irish stamp duty provided that there is no change in the beneficial ownership of the shares as a result of the transfer and the transfer is not in contemplation of a sale of the shares by a beneficial owner to a third party.

Tyco currently intends to pay, or cause one of its affiliates to pay, stamp duty in connection with share transfers made in the ordinary course of trading by a seller who holds shares directly to a buyer who holds the acquired shares beneficially. In other cases Tyco may, in its absolute discretion, pay or cause one of its affiliates to pay any stamp duty. Tyco's articles of association provide that, in the event of any such payment, Tyco shall be entitled to (i) seek reimbursement from the buyer, (ii) set-off the amount of the stamp duty against future dividends on such shares, and (iii) claim a first and permanent lien on the Tyco ordinary shares acquired by such buyer and any dividends paid on such shares. Parties to a share transfer may assume that any stamp duty arising in respect of a transaction in Tyco ordinary shares has been paid unless one or both of such parties is otherwise notified by Tyco.

Tyco's articles of association delegates to Tyco's secretary (or his or her nominee) the authority to execute an instrument of transfer on behalf of a transferring party. In order to help ensure that the official share register is regularly updated to reflect trading of Tyco ordinary shares occurring through normal electronic systems, Tyco regularly produces any required instruments of transfer in connection with any transactions for which it pays stamp duty (subject to the reimbursement and set-off rights described above). In the event that Tyco notifies one or both of the parties to a share transfer that it believes stamp duty is required to be paid in connection with such transfer and that it will not pay such stamp duty, such parties may either themselves arrange for the execution of the required instrument of transfer (and may request a form of instrument of transfer from Tyco for this purpose) or request that Tyco execute an instrument of transfer on behalf of the transferring party in a form determined by Tyco. In either event, if the parties to the share transfer have the instrument of transfer duly stamped (to the extent required) and then provide it to Tyco's transfer agent, the transferee will be registered as the legal owner of the relevant shares on Tyco's official Irish share register (subject to the matters described below).

The directors of Tyco have general discretion to decline to register an instrument of transfer unless the transfer is in respect of one class of shares only, the instrument of transfer is accompanied by the certificate of shares to which it relates and such other evidence as the directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer, a fee of €10 or such lesser sum is paid to Tyco, the instrument of transfer is in favor of not more than four transferees and it is lodged at the registered office of Tyco or such other place as the directors of Tyco may appoint.

The registration of transfers may be suspended by the directors at such times and for such period, not exceeding in the whole 30 days in each year, as the directors may from time to time determine.

The consolidated financial statements as of September 25, 2015 and September 26, 2014, and for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended September 25, 2015, and the related financial statement schedule, incorporated in this joint proxy statement/prospectus by reference from Tyco International plc's Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 11, 2016, and the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting, have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their reports, which are incorporated herein by reference. Such consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule have been so incorporated in reliance upon the reports of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The financial statements and financial statement schedule incorporated in this joint proxy statement/prospectus by reference to Johnson Controls Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 3, 2016 and management's assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting (which is included in Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting) incorporated in this joint proxy statement/prospectus by reference to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Johnson Controls for the year ended September 30, 2015 have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

With respect to the unaudited financial information of Johnson Controls for the three month periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 incorporated by reference in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, their separate report dated February 1, 2016 incorporated by reference herein states that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that unaudited financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their report on the unaudited financial information because that report is not a "report" or a "part" of the registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.

OTHER MATTERS

As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, neither the Tyco nor the Johnson Controls boards of directors know of any matters that will be presented for consideration at the Tyco EGM or the Johnson Controls special meeting other than as described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. If any other matter shall properly come before either the Tyco EGM or the Johnson Controls special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof (to the extent permitted by the merger agreement) and shall be voted upon, the proposed proxies will be deemed to confer authority to the individuals named as authorized therein to vote the shares represented by the proxy as to any matters that fall within the purposes set forth in the notices of the Tyco EGM and the Johnson Controls special meetings (unless discretionary voting authority is withheld as set forth in the applicable proxy card).

TYCO ANNUAL MEETING SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

In accordance with the rules established by the SEC and Tyco's articles of association, any shareholder proposal submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act of 1934 intended for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2017 annual general meeting must be received by Tyco (or, following the merger, the combined company) no later than September 22, 2016. To be included in the proxy statement, the proposal must comply with the requirements as to form and substance established by the SEC and Tyco's articles of association, and must be a proper subject for shareholder action under applicable law.

A shareholder may also propose business for consideration or nominate persons for election to the board of directors in compliance with U.S. federal proxy rules, applicable law and other legal requirements, without seeking to have the proposal included in Tyco's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act. Rule 14a-4 of the Exchange Act governs the use of discretionary proxy voting authority with respect to any such proposal. If Tyco (or, following the merger, the combined company) is not provided notice of such a shareholder proposal prior to December 6, 2016, discretionary voting authority will be permitted when the proposal is raised at the meeting, without any discussion of the matter in the proxy statement.

Additional information regarding Tyco's procedures is located in Tyco's Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed on January 15, 2016, which is incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus. See " Where You Can Find More Information ."

JOHNSON CONTROLS ANNUAL MEETING SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

Under SEC rules, a single set of proxy statements may be sent to any household at which two or more shareholders reside if they appear to be members of the same family. Each shareholder continues to receive a separate proxy card. This procedure, referred to as householding, reduces the volume of duplicate information shareholders receive and reduces mailing and printing expenses. In accordance with a notice sent to certain shareholders who shared a single address, only one joint proxy statement/prospectus will be sent to that address unless any shareholder at that address requested that multiple sets of documents be sent.

If any Tyco shareholder who agreed to householding wishes to receive a separate proxy statement in the future, he or she may contact [ ] either by calling [ ], or by writing to [ ] at [ ]. Tyco shareholders sharing an address who wish to receive a single set of proxy statements may do so by contacting their brokers, banks or other nominees, if they are beneficial holders, or by contacting Tyco at the telephone number or the address set forth above, if they are record holders.

If any Johnson Controls shareholder who agreed to householding wishes to receive a separate proxy statement in the future, he or she may write to [ ] either by calling [ ], or by writing to [ ] at [ ]. Johnson Controls shareholders sharing an address who wish to receive a single set of proxy statements may do so by contacting their brokers, banks or other nominees, if they are beneficial holders, or by written request to the address set forth above, if they are record holders.

Without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the Holders of any existing shares or class of shares, any share in the Company may be issued with such preferred or deferred or other special rights or such restrictions, whether in regard to dividend, voting, return of capital or otherwise, as the Company may from time to time by Ordinary Resolution determine. 6. (a) Without prejudice to the authority conferred on the Directors pursuant to article 3 to issue preferred shares in the capital of the Company, if at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied or abrogated with the sanction of a Special Resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the Holders of the shares of that class, provided that, if the relevant class of Holders has only one Holder, that person present in person or by proxy, shall constitute the necessary quorum for such a meeting. To every such meeting the provisions of article 35 shall apply. (b) The redemption or purchase of preferred shares or any class of preferred shares shall not constitute a variation of rights of the preferred Holders where the redemption or purchase of the preferred shares has been authorised solely by a resolution of the ordinary Holders. (c) The issue, redemption or purchase of any of the preferred shares of US$0.01 each shall not constitute a variation of the rights of the Holders of ordinary shares. (d) The issue of preferred shares or any class of preferred shares which rank pari passu with, or junior to, any existing preferred shares or class of preferred shares shall not constitute a variation of the existing preferred shares or class of preferred shares. 7. The rights conferred upon the Holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu therewith. 8. (a) Subject to the provisions of these articles relating to new shares, the shares shall be at the disposal of the Directors, and they may (subject to the provisions of the Acts) allot, grant options over or otherwise dispose of them to such persons, on such terms and conditions and at such times as they may consider to be in the best interests of the Company and its members, but so that no share shall be issued at a discount save in accordance with the Acts, and so that, in the case of shares offered to the public for subscription, the amount payable on application on each share shall not be less than one-quarter of the nominal amount of the share and the whole of any premium thereon. To the extent permitted by the Acts, shares may also be allotted by a committee of the Directors or by any other person where such committee or person is so authorised by the Directors. (b) Subject to any requirement to obtain the approval of members under any laws, regulations or the rules of any stock exchange to which the Company is subject, the Board is authorised, from time to time, in its discretion, to grant such persons, for such periods and upon such terms as the Board deems advisable, options to purchase or subscribe for such number of shares of any class or classes or of any series of any class as the Board may deem advisable, and to cause warrants or other appropriate instruments evidencing such options to be issued. (c) The Directors are, for the purposes of the Acts, generally and unconditionally authorised to exercise all powers of the Company to allot and issue relevant securities (as defined by the Acts) up to the amount of Company's authorised share capital as of the date of adoption of this article 8 and to allot and issue any shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Acts and held as treasury shares and this authority shall expire five years from the date of adoption of these articles 8 September 2014 .

If by the conditions of allotment of any share the whole or part of the amount or issue price thereof shall be payable by instalments, every such instalment when due shall be paid to the Company by the person who for the time being shall be the Holder of the share. 10. The Company may pay commission to any person in consideration of a person subscribing or agreeing to subscribe, whether absolutely or conditionally, for any shares in the Company or procuring or agreeing to procure subscriptions, whether absolute or conditional, for any shares in the Company on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Directors may determine, including, without limitation, by paying cash or allotting and issuing fully or partly paid shares or any combination of the two. The Company may also, on any issue of shares, pay such brokerage as may be lawful. 11. Except as required by law, no person shall be recognised by the Company as holding any share upon any trust, and the Company shall not be bound by or be compelled in any way to recognise (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any share or any interest in any fractional part of a share or (except only as by these articles or by law otherwise provided) any other rights in respect of any share except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the Holder. 12. No person shall be entitled to a share certificate in respect of any ordinary share held by them in the share capital of the Company, whether such ordinary share was allotted or transferred to them, and the Company shall not be bound to issue a share certificate to any such person entered in the Register. 13. The Company shall not give, whether directly or indirectly and whether by means of a loan, guarantee, the provision of security or otherwise, any financial assistance for the purpose of or in connection with a purchase or subscription made or to be made by any person of or for any shares in the Company or in its holding company, except as permitted by the Acts. 14. (a) The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on every share (not being a fully paid share) for all moneys (whether presently payable or not) payable at a fixed time or called in respect of that share. The Directors, at any time, may declare any share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this article. The Company's lien on a share shall extend to all moneys payable in respect of it. The terms of any optional provisions of the Act or any replacement enactment covering substantially the same subject matter as this article 14 are disapplied. (b) The Company may sell in such manner as the Directors determine any share on which the Company has a lien if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable and is not paid within fourteen Clear Days after notice demanding payment, and stating that if the notice

(a) Subject to the terms of allotment, the Directors may make calls upon the members in respect of any moneys unpaid on their shares, including shares where the conditions of allotment provide for payment at fixed times, and each member (subject to receiving at least fourteen Clear Days' notice specifying when and where payment is to be made) shall pay to the Company as required by the notice the amount called on his shares. A call may be required to be paid by instalments. A call may be revoked before receipt by the Company of a sum due thereunder, in whole or in part and payment of a call may be postponed in whole or in part. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon him notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the shares in respect of which the call was made. The terms of any optional provisions of the Act or any replacement enactment covering substantially the same subject matter as this article 15 are disapplied. (b) A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising the call was passed. (c) The joint Holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof. (d) If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the person from whom it is due and payable shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due until it is paid at the rate fixed by the terms of allotment of the share or in the notice of the call or, if no rate is fixed, at the appropriate rate (as defined by the Acts) but the Directors may waive payment of the interest wholly or in part. (e) An amount payable in respect of a share on allotment or at any fixed date, whether in respect of nominal value or as an instalment of a call, shall be deemed to be a call and if it is not paid the provisions of these articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call. (f) Subject to the terms of allotment, the Directors may make arrangements on the issue of shares for a difference between the Holders in the amounts and times of payment of calls on their shares. (g) The Directors, if they think fit, may receive from any member willing to advance the same all or any part of the moneys uncalled and unpaid upon any shares held by him, and upon all or any of the moneys so advanced may pay (until the same would, but for such advance, become payable) interest at such rate, not exceeding (unless the Company in general meeting

TRANSFER OF SHARES

(a) The instrument of transfer of any share may be executed for and on behalf of the transferor by the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary or any such person that the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary nominates for that purpose (whether in respect of specific transfers or pursuant to a general standing authorisation), and the Secretary, Assistant Secretary or the relevant nominee shall be deemed to have been irrevocably appointed agent for the transferor of such share or shares with full power to execute, complete and deliver in the name of and on behalf of the transferor of such share or shares all such transfers of shares held by the members in the share capital of the Company. Any document which records the name of the transferor, the name of the transferee, the class and number of shares agreed to be transferred, the date of the agreement to transfer shares and the price per share, shall, once executed by the transferor or the Secretary, Assistant Secretary or the relevant nominee as agent for the transferor, and by the transferee where required by the Act, be deemed to be a proper instrument of transfer for the purposes of the Act. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the Holder of the share until the name of the transferee is entered on the Register in respect thereof, and neither the title of the transferee nor the title of the transferor shall be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale should the Directors so determine. (b) The Company, at its absolute discretion, may, or may procure that a subsidiary of the Company shall, pay Irish stamp duty arising on a transfer of shares on behalf of the transferee of such shares of the Company. If stamp duty resulting from the transfer of shares in the Company which would otherwise be payable by the transferee is paid by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company on behalf of the transferee, then in those circumstances, the Company shall, on its behalf or on behalf of its subsidiary (as the case may be), be entitled to (i) seek reimbursement of the stamp duty from the transferee, (ii) set-off the stamp duty against any dividends payable to the transferee of those shares and (iii) claim a first and permanent lien on the shares on which stamp duty has been paid by the Company or its subsidiary for the amount of stamp duty paid. The Company's lien shall extend to all dividends paid on those shares. (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of these articles and subject to any provision of the Acts, title to any shares in the Company may also be evidenced and transferred without a written instrument in accordance with the Acts or any regulations made thereunder. The Directors shall have power to permit any class of shares to be held in uncertificated form and to implement any arrangements they think fit for such evidencing and transfer which accord with such regulations and in particular shall, where appropriate, be entitled to disapply or modify all or part of the provisions in these articles with respect to the requirement for written instruments of transfer and share certificates (if any), in order to give effect to such regulations. 17. Subject to such of the restrictions of these articles and to such of the conditions of issue of any share warrants as may be applicable, the shares of any member and any share warrant may be

(a) The Directors in their absolute discretion and without assigning any reason therefor may decline to register:
If the Directors refuse to register a transfer, they shall, within two months after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company, send to the transferee notice of the refusal. 20. (a) The Directors may from time to time fix a record date for the purposes of determining the rights of members to notice of and/or to vote at any general meeting of the Company. The record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Directors, and the record date shall be not more than eighty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Directors, the record date for determining members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the members shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given. Unless the Directors determine otherwise, a determination of members of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of members shall apply to any adjournment or postponement of the meeting. (b) In order that the Directors may determine the members entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the members entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of shares, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than thirty nor less than two days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining members for such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Directors adopt the resolution relating thereto. 21. Registration of transfers may be suspended at such times and for such period, not exceeding in the whole 30 days in each year, as the Directors may from time to time determine subject to the requirements of the Acts. 22. All instruments of transfer shall upon their being lodged with the Company remain the property of the Company and the Company shall be entitled to retain them. 23. Subject to the provisions of these articles, whenever as a result of a consolidation of shares or otherwise any members would become entitled to fractions of a share, the Directors may sell or

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

In the case of the death of a member, the survivor or survivors where the deceased was a joint Holder, and the personal representatives of the deceased where he was a sole Holder, shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his interest in the shares; but nothing herein contained shall release the estate of a deceased joint Holder from any liability in respect of any share which had been jointly held by him with other persons. The terms of any optional provisions of the Act or any replacement enactment covering substantially the same subject matter as articles 24 to 27 are disapplied. 25. Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a member may, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time properly be required by the Directors and subject as herein provided, elect either to be registered himself as Holder of the share or to have some person nominated by him registered as the transferee thereof, but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the shares by that member before his death or bankruptcy, as the case may be. 26. If the person so becoming entitled elects to be registered himself, he shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by him stating that he so elects. If he elects to have another person registered, he shall testify his election by executing to that person a transfer of the share. All the limitations, restrictions and provisions of these regulations relating to the right to transfer and the registration of transfers of shares shall be applicable to any such notice or transfer as aforesaid as if the death or bankruptcy of the member had not occurred and the notice of transfer were a transfer signed by that member. 27. A person becoming entitled to a share by reason of the death or bankruptcy of the Holder shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered Holder of the share, except that he shall not, before being registered as a member in respect of the share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to the meetings of the Company, so, however, that the Directors may at any time give notice requiring such person to elect either to be registered himself or to transfer the share, and if the notice is not complied with within 90 days, the Directors may thereupon withhold payment of all dividends, bonuses or other moneys payable in respect of the share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

This article shall not apply in the case of the first general meeting, in respect of which the Company shall convene the meeting within the time periods required by the Act. 32. Subject to the Acts, all general meetings of the Company may be held outside of Ireland. 33.

The Chairman may, with the consent of any meeting at which a quorum is present, and shall if so directed by the meeting, adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place without notice other than by announcement of the time and place of the adjourned meeting by the Chairman of the meeting.

Unless the Directors otherwise determine, no member shall be entitled to vote at any general meeting or any separate meeting of the Holders of any class of shares in the Company, either in person or by proxy, or to exercise any privilege as a member in respect of any share held by him unless all monies then payable by him in respect of that share have been paid.

VOTES OF MEMBERS

Subject to any special rights or restrictions as to voting for the time being attached by or in accordance with these articles to any class of shares, on a show of hands every member present in person and every proxy shall have one vote, but so that no one member shall on a show of hands have more than one vote in respect of the aggregate number of shares of which he is the Holder, and on a poll every member who is present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for each share of which he is the Holder. 70.

A member of unsound mind, or in respect of whom an order has been made by any court having jurisdiction (whether in Ireland or elsewhere) in matters concerning mental disorder, may vote, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, by his committee, receiver, guardian or other person appointed by that court and any such committee, receiver, guardian or other person may vote by proxy on a show of hands or on a poll. Evidence to the satisfaction of the Directors of the authority of the person claiming to exercise the right to vote shall be received at the Office or at such other address as is specified in accordance with these articles for the receipt of appointments of proxy, not less than forty-eight hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the right to vote is to be exercised and in default the right to vote shall not be exercisable. The terms of any optional provisions of the Act or any replacement enactment covering substantially the same subject matter as this article 71 are disapplied. 72. No objection shall be raised to the qualification of any voter except at the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered, and every vote not disallowed at such meeting shall be valid for all purposes. Any such objection made in due time shall be referred to the Chairman of the meeting, whose decision shall be final and conclusive. 73. Votes may be given either personally or by proxy. 74. (a) Every member entitled to attend and vote at a general meeting may appoint a proxy to attend, speak and vote on his behalf and may appoint more than one proxy to attend, speak and vote at the same meeting. The appointment of a proxy shall be in any form which the Directors may approve, subject to compliance with any requirements as to form under the Acts, and shall be signed by or on behalf of the appointer. A body corporate must sign a form of proxy under its common seal or under the hand of a duly authorised officer thereof. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. The appointment of a proxy in electronic or other form shall only be effective in such manner as the Directors may approve, subject to any requirements of the Acts. An instrument or other form of communication appointing or evidencing the appointment of a proxy or a corporate representative (other than a standing proxy or representative) together with such evidence as to its due execution as the Directors may from time to time require, shall be returned to the address or addresses stated in the notice of meeting or adjourned meeting or any other information or communication by such time or times as may be specified in the notice of meeting or adjourned meeting or in any other such information or communication (which times may differ when more than one place is so specified) or, if no such time is specified, at any time prior to the holding of the relevant meeting or adjourned meeting at which the appointee proposes to vote, and, subject to the Acts, if not so delivered the appointment shall not be treated as valid. (b) Without limiting the foregoing, the Directors may from time to time permit appointments of a proxy to be made by means of an electronic or internet communication or facility and may in a similar manner permit supplements to, or amendments or revocations of, any such electronic

A body corporate which is a member of the Company may authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or of any class of members of the Company and the person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the body corporate which he represents as that body corporate could exercise if it were an individual member of the Company. The Company may require evidence from the body corporate of the due authorisation of such person to act as the representative of the relevant body corporate. 76. An appointment of proxy relating to more than one meeting (including any adjournment thereof) having once been received by the Company for the purposes of any meeting shall not require to be delivered, deposited or received again by the Company for the purposes of any subsequent meeting to which it relates. 77. Receipt by the Company of an appointment of proxy in respect of a meeting shall not preclude a member from attending and voting at the meeting or at any adjournment thereof. An appointment proxy shall be valid, unless the contrary is stated therein, as well for any adjournment of the meeting as for the meeting to which it relates. 78. (a) A vote given or poll demanded in accordance with the terms of an appointment of proxy or a resolution authorising a representative to act on behalf of a body corporate shall be valid notwithstanding the death or insanity of the principal, or the revocation of the appointment of proxy or of the authority under which the proxy was appointed or of the resolution authorising the representative to act or transfer of the share in respect of which the proxy was appointed or the authorisation of the representative to act was given, provided that no intimation in writing (whether in electronic form or otherwise) of such death, insanity, revocation or transfer shall have been received by the Company at the Office, before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the appointment of proxy is used or at which the representative acts; provided, however, that where such intimation is given in electronic form it shall have been received by the Company at least 24 hours (or such lesser time as the Directors may specify) before the commencement of the meeting.

The continuing Directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body, provided that if the number of the Directors is reduced below the prescribed minimum the remaining Director or Directors shall appoint forthwith an additional Director or additional Directors to make up such minimum or shall convene a general meeting of the Company for the purpose of making such appointment. If, at any annual general meeting of the Company, the number of Directors is reduced below the prescribed minimum due to the failure of any Directors to be re-elected, then in those circumstances, the two Directors which receive the highest number of votes in favour of re-election shall be re-elected and shall remain Directors until such time as additional Directors have been appointed to replace them as Directors. If, at any annual general meeting of the Company, the number of Directors is reduced below the prescribed minimum in any circumstances where one Director is re-elected, then that Director shall hold office until the next annual general meeting and the Director which (excluding the re-elected Director) receives the highest number of votes in favour of re-election shall be re-elected and shall remain a Director until such time as one or more additional Directors have been appointed to replace him or her. If there are no Director or Directors able or willing to act then any two members may summon a general meeting for the purpose of appointing Directors. Any additional Director so appointed shall hold office (subject to the provisions of the Acts and these articles) only until the conclusion of the annual general meeting of the Company next following such appointment unless he is re-elected during such meeting. The terms of any optional provisions of the Act or any replacement enactment covering substantially the same subject matter as this article 81 are disapplied. 82. Each Director, not being an employee, shall be paid a fee for their services and each Director who is an employee of the Company or the Group shall be paid remuneration (to include benefits in kind) for their employment. The fee or remuneration paid to each Director shall be at such rate and on such basis as may from time to time be determined by the Board. The Directors may also be paid all travelling, hotel and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending and returning from meetings of the Directors or any committee of the Directors or general meetings of the Company or in connection with the business of the Company. The amount, rate or basis of the fees, remuneration or expenses paid to the Directors shall not require approval or ratification by the Company in general meeting. The terms of any optional provisions of the Act or any replacement enactment covering substantially the same subject matter as this article 82 are disapplied 83. If any Director shall be called upon to perform extra services which in the opinion of the Directors are outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director, the Company may remunerate such Director either by a fixed sum or by a percentage of profits or otherwise as may be determined by a resolution passed at a meeting of the Directors and such remuneration may be either in addition to or in substitution for any other remuneration to which he may be entitled as a Director. 84. No shareholding qualification for Directors shall be required. A Director (whether or not a member of the Company) shall be entitled to attend and speak at general meetings. 85. Unless the Company otherwise directs, a Director of the Company may be or become a Director or other officer of, or otherwise interested in, any company promoted by the Company or in which the Company may be interested as Holder or otherwise, and no such Director shall be accountable to the Company for any remuneration or other benefits received by him as a Director or officer of, or from his interest in, such other company.

No dividend or interim dividend shall be paid otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of the Acts. 121. The Directors may, before recommending any dividend, set aside out of the profits of the Company such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, at the discretion of the Directors, be applicable for any purpose to which the profits of the Company may be properly applied and pending such application may at the like discretion either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments as the Directors may lawfully determine. The Directors may also, without placing the same to reserve, carry forward any profits which they may think it prudent not to divide. 122. Subject to the rights of persons, if any, entitled to shares with special rights as to dividend, all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid or credited as paid on the shares in respect whereof the dividend is paid. All dividends shall be apportioned and paid proportionately to the amounts paid or credited as paid on the shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid; but if any share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for dividend as from a particular date, such share shall rank for dividend accordingly. 123.

Every such cheque or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent and payment of the cheque or warrant shall be a good discharge to the Company. Any joint Holder or other person jointly entitled to a share as aforesaid may give receipts for any dividend or other moneys payable in respect of the share. Any such dividend or other distribution may also be paid by any other method (including payment in a currency other than US$, electronic funds transfer, direct debit, bank transfer or by means of a relevant system) which the Directors consider appropriate and any member who elects for such method of payment shall be deemed to have accepted all of the risks inherent therein. The debiting of the Company's account in respect of the relevant amount shall be evidence of good discharge of the Company's obligations in respect of any payment made by any such methods. 126. No dividend shall bear interest against the Company. 127. If the Directors so resolve, any dividend which has remained unclaimed for twelve years from the date of its declaration shall be forfeited and cease to remain owing by the Company. The payment

(b) Without limitation or prejudice to the Company's obligations pursuant to the documents and laws effecting the Merger, the Directors are authorised to take all actions necessary to discharge any liabilities owed by Tyco International Ltd. assumed by the Company pursuant to or in connection with the Merger due from time to time, including (without limitation) the obligation to discharge any liability in respect of the dividend declared by Tyco International Ltd. on 5 March 2014, including (without limitation) in respect of (a) any instalment of such liability due to be paid (but unpaid) prior to the Effective Time and (b) any instalment of such liability due to be paid after the Effective Time (including the instalment to be discharged on or around February 2015), and, unless the Company is otherwise so notified by the relevant holder(s) in a manner satisfactory to the Directors, the entitlement to the payment of such liability attaching to each share in Tyco International Ltd. immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be recognised and deemed to attach to each Ordinary Share in the Company issued at the Effective Time pursuant to the Merger (including in respect of an instalment due to be paid after the Effective Time), and the entitlement to be paid any such liability shall be deemed to transfer and/or be transmitted with each transfer and/or transmission of such Ordinary Shares in the Company up to and including the relevant record date for determining the entitlement to any such liability, and the payment of any such liability to the holder of Ordinary Shares in the Company on the relevant record date for determining the entitlement to such liability shall constitute the full discharge of such a liability by the Company and any such payment shall be treated by the Company as the payment of a liability created by the dividend declared by Tyco International Ltd. on 5 March 2014 assumed by the Company as a liability at the Effective Time and shall not be deducted from the distributable reserves of the Company or otherwise deemed to be a dividend or distribution by the Company. (c) Notwithstanding article 3(b)(ii), subject to the Act, the Directors are authorised to pay (at their sole discretion) an interim dividend to the holder of each Ordinary Share issued after the Effective Time (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Ordinary Share issued at the Effective Time pursuant to the Merger) which remains in issue on a record date referred to in paragraph (b) of this article 128 equal to the amount of the liability that the holder of such Ordinary Share would have been entitled to be paid on such record date in accordance with paragraph (b) of this article 128 had such Ordinary Share been issued at the Effective Time pursuant to the Merger, and any such dividend or payment shall not create any liability to make an equivalent payment to any holder of Ordinary Shares issued at the Effective Time pursuant to the Merger. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph (c) shall limit or restrict the ability of the Directors or the Company to declare or pay dividends or interim dividends pursuant to articles 118 to 127 from time to time, including (without limitation) on all of the Ordinary Shares from time to time.

The Directors shall determine from time to time whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Company or any of them shall be open to the inspection of members, not being Directors, and no member (not being a Director) shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of the Company except as conferred by the Acts or authorised by the Directors or by the Company in general meeting.

CAPITALISATION OF PROFITS

Without prejudice to any powers conferred on the Directors as aforesaid and subject to the Directors' authority to issue and allot shares under articles 8(c) and 8(d), the Directors may resolve to capitalise any part of the amount for the time being standing to the credit of any of the Company's reserve accounts (including any capital redemption reserve fund, share premium account or other reserve account not available for distribution) or to the credit of the profit and loss account which is not available for distribution by applying such sum in paying up in full unissued shares to be allotted as fully paid bonus shares to those members of the Company who would have been entitled to that sum if it were distributable and had been distributed by way of dividend (and in the same proportions). Whenever such a resolution is passed in pursuance of this article, the Directors shall make all appropriations and applications of the amounts resolved to be capitalised thereby and all allotments and issues of fully paid shares or debentures, if any. Any such capitalisation will not require approval or ratification by the members of the Company. The terms of any optional provisions of the Act or any replacement enactment covering substantially the same subject matter as this article 131 are disapplied. 132. Without prejudice to any powers conferred on the Directors by these articles, and subject to the Directors' authority to issue and allot shares under articles 8(c) and 8(d), the Directors may resolve that any sum for the time being standing to the credit of any of the Company's reserve accounts (including any reserve account available for distribution) or to the credit of the profit and loss account be capitalised and applied on behalf of the members who would have been entitled to receive that sum if it had been distributed by way of dividend (and in the same proportions) either in or towards paying up amounts for the time being unpaid on any shares held by them respectively, or in paying up in full unissued shares or debentures of the Company of a nominal amount equal to the sum capitalised (such shares or debentures to be allotted and distributed and credited as fully paid up to and amongst such Holders in the proportions aforesaid) or partly in one way and partly in another, so, however, that the only purposes for which sums standing to the credit of the capital redemption reserve fund or the share premium account shall be applied shall be those permitted by the Acts. 133. The Directors may from time to time at their discretion, subject to the provisions of the Acts and, in particular, to their being duly authorised pursuant to the Acts, to allot the relevant shares, offer to the Holders of Ordinary Shares the right to elect to receive in lieu of any dividend or proposed dividend or part thereof an allotment of additional Ordinary Shares credited as fully paid. In any such case the following provisions shall apply. (i) The basis of allotment shall be determined by the Directors so that, as nearly as may be considered convenient in the Directors' absolute discretion, the value (calculated by reference to the average quotation) of the additional Ordinary Shares (excluding any fractional entitlement) to be allotted in lieu of any amount of dividend shall equal such amount. For such purpose the "average quotation" of an Ordinary Share shall be the average of the five amounts resulting from determining whichever of the following ((A), (B) or (C) specified below) in respect of Ordinary Shares shall be appropriate for each of the first five business days on which Ordinary Shares are quoted "ex" the relevant dividend and as determined from the information published by the New York Stock Exchange reporting the business done on each of these five business days: (A) if there shall be more than one dealing reported for the day, the average of the prices at which such dealings took place; or (B) if there shall be only one dealing reported for the day, the price at which such dealing took place; or

(a) The additional Ordinary Shares allotted pursuant to articles 131, 132 or 133 shall rank pari passu in all respects with the fully paid Ordinary Shares then in issue save only as regards participation in the relevant dividend or share election in lieu. (b) The Directors may do all acts and things considered necessary or expedient to give effect to any capitalisation pursuant to articles 131, 132 or 133 with full power to the Directors to make such provisions as they think fit where shares would otherwise have been distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby, in whole or in part, fractional entitlements are disregarded and the benefit of fractional entitlements accrues to the Company rather than to the holders concerned). The Directors may authorise any person to enter on behalf of all the Holders interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental thereto and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective and binding on all concerned. (c) The Directors may on any occasion determine that rights of election shall not be offered to any Holders of Ordinary Shares who are citizens or residents of any territory where the making or publication of an offer of rights of election or any exercise of rights of election or any purported acceptance of the same would or might be unlawful, and in such event the provisions aforesaid shall be read and construed subject to such determination.

WINDING UP

If the Company shall be wound up and the assets available for distribution among the members as such shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the paid up or credited as paid up share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the members in proportion to the capital paid up or credited as paid up at the commencement of the winding up on the shares held by them respectively. And if in a winding up the assets available for distribution among the members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the share capital paid up or credited as paid up at the commencement of the winding up, the excess shall be distributed among the members in proportion to the capital at the commencement of the winding up paid up or credited as paid up on the said shares held by them respectively. Provided that this article shall not affect the rights of the Holders of shares issued upon special terms and conditions. 143. (a) In case of a sale by the liquidator under section 260 of the Act, the liquidator may by the contract of sale agree so as to bind all the members for the allotment to the members directly of the proceeds of sale in proportion to their respective interests in the Company and may further by the contract limit a time at the expiration of which obligations or shares not accepted or required to be sold shall be deemed to have been irrevocably refused and be at the disposal of the Company, but so that nothing herein contained shall be taken to diminish, prejudice or affect the rights of dissenting members conferred by the said section. (b) The power of sale of the liquidator shall include a power to sell wholly or partially for debentures, debenture stock, or other obligations of another company, either then already constituted or about to be constituted for the purpose of carrying out the sale. 144. If the Company is wound up, the liquidator, with the sanction of a Special Resolution and any other sanction required by the Acts, may divide among the members in specie or kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not), and, for such purpose, may value any assets and determine how the division shall be carried out as between the members or different classes of members. The liquidator, with the like sanction, may vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as, with the like sanction, he determines, but so that no member shall be compelled to accept any assets upon which there is a liability.

INDEMNITY

(a) Subject to the provisions of and so far as may be admitted by the Acts, every Director and the Secretary of the Company shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Company against all costs, charges, losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by him in the execution and discharge of his duties or in relation thereto including any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings, civil or criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done or omitted by him as an officer or employee of the Company and in which judgement is given in his favour (or the proceedings are otherwise disposed of without any finding or admission of any material breach of duty on his part) or in which he is acquitted or in connection with any application under any statute for relief from liability in respect of any such act or omission in which relief is granted to him by the Court. (b) The Directors shall have power to purchase and maintain for any Director, the Secretary or any employees of the Company or its subsidiaries insurance against any such liability as referred to in the Acts. (c) As far as is permissible under the Acts, the Company shall indemnify any current or former executive officer of the Company (excluding any present or former Directors of the Company or Secretary of the Company), or any person who is serving or has served at the request of

(a) The Company shall be entitled to sell at the best price reasonably obtainable any share or stock of a member or any share or stock to which a person is entitled by transmission if and provided that:

(b) To give effect to any such sale the Company may appoint any person to execute as transferor an instrument of transfer of such share or stock and such instrument of transfer shall be as effective as if it had been executed by the registered Holder of or person entitled by transmission to such share or stock. The Company shall account to the member or other person entitled to such share or stock for the net proceeds of such sale by carrying all monies in respect thereof to a separate account which shall be a permanent debt of the Company and the Company shall be deemed to be a debtor and not a trustee in respect thereof for such member or other person. Monies carried to such separate account may either be employed in the business of the Company or invested in such investments (other than shares of the Company or its holding company if any) as the Directors may from time to time think fit. (c) To the extent necessary in order to comply with any laws or regulations to which the Company is subject in relation to escheatment, abandonment of property or other similar or analogous laws or regulations ("Applicable Escheatment Laws"), the Company may deal with any share of any member and any unclaimed cash payments relating to such share in any manner which it sees fit, including (but not limited to) transferring or selling such share and transferring to third parties any unclaimed cash payments relating to such share.

ANNEX C

The Board of Directors Johnson Controls, Inc. 5757 North Green Bay Avenue Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The Board of Directors:

You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "JCI Shares") (other than Excluded Shares, as defined below), of Johnson Controls, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation ("JCI"), of the Consideration (as defined below) proposed to be paid to such holders pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger proposed to be entered into (the "Agreement") by and among JCI, Tyco International plc, a Republic of Ireland public limited company ("Tyco"), and Jagara Merger Sub LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Tyco ("Merger Sub") and the other party to the Agreement. The Agreement provides that Merger Sub will be merged with and into JCI (the "Merger" and, collectively with the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement, the "Transaction"), as a result of which JCI will become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Tyco and each issued and outstanding JCI Share immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than JCI Shares owned by JCI, Tyco or Merger Sub or any subsidiary of JCI or Tyco and other than JCI Shares underlying the Company Restricted Stock Awards (as defined in the Agreement) (such JCI Shares, together with any JCI Shares owned by any affiliate of Tyco, "Excluded Shares") will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder, (i) $34.88 in cash (the "Cash Consideration") or (ii) one ordinary share, par value $0.01 per share (the "Tyco Shares"), of Tyco (the "Share Consideration"). The aggregate Cash Consideration and Share Consideration to be received by holders of JCI Shares in the Merger, taken together (and not separately), is referred to as the "Consideration". The Consideration will be subject to certain proration and adjustment procedures as set forth in the Agreement, as to which we express no view or opinion. The terms and conditions of the Transaction are more fully set forth in the Agreement.

We have acted as financial advisor to the Board of Directors of JCI in connection with, and have participated in certain of the negotiations leading to, the Transaction. We will receive a fee for our services in connection with the Transaction, a portion of which is payable upon the public announcement of the Transaction and a substantial portion of which is contingent upon the consummation of the Transaction. In addition, JCI has agreed to reimburse certain of our expenses arising, and indemnify us against certain liabilities that may arise, out of our engagement.

We are a securities firm engaged directly and through affiliates and related persons in a number of investment banking, financial advisory and merchant banking activities. In the past two years, we have been engaged to provide financial advisory services to JCI for which we have received compensation, including in connection with the Spin Off (as defined in the Agreement). In the past two years, we have not been engaged to provide financial advisory services to Tyco or Merger Sub, and we have not received any compensation from Tyco or Merger Sub during such period. We may provide investment banking and other services to or with respect to JCI or Tyco or their respective affiliates in the future, for which we may receive compensation. Certain (i) of our and our affiliates' directors, officers, members and employees, or family members of such persons, (ii) of our affiliates or related investment funds and (iii) investment funds or other persons in which any of the foregoing may have financial interests or with which they may co-invest, may at any time acquire, hold, sell or trade, in debt, equity and other securities or financial instruments (including derivatives, bank loans or other obligations) of, or investments in, JCI, Tyco or any of their respective affiliates or any other party that may be involved in the Transaction.

In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, among other things: (i) a draft of the Agreement dated January 24, 2016 (the "Draft Agreement"); (ii) Annual Reports on Form 10-K of JCI for the years ended September 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013 and Annual Reports on Form 10-K of Tyco for the years ended September 25, 2015, 2014 and 2013; (iii) certain interim reports to shareholders and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of JCI and Tyco; (iv) certain publicly available research analyst reports for JCI and Tyco; (v) certain other communications from JCI and Tyco to their respective shareholders; (vi) certain internal information relating to the business, operations, earnings, cash flow, assets, liabilities and prospects of JCI, including certain financial forecasts, analyses and projections relating to JCI prepared by management of JCI and furnished to us by JCI for purposes of our analysis (the "JCI Forecasts") (collectively, the "JCI Internal Data"); (vii) certain internal information relating to the business, operations, earnings, cash flow, assets, liabilities and prospects of Tyco, including certain financial forecasts, analyses and projections relating to Tyco prepared by management of Tyco and furnished to us by JCI for purposes of our analysis (the "Tyco Forecasts") (collectively, the "Tyco Internal Data"); and (viii) certain tax and other cost savings and operating synergies projected by the management of JCI to result from the Transaction furnished to us by JCI for purposes of our analysis (the "Synergies"). We have participated in discussions with members of the senior management and representatives of JCI and Tyco regarding their assessment of the JCI Internal Data, the Tyco Internal Data and the Synergies, as appropriate, and the strategic rationale for the Transaction. In addition, we reviewed publicly available financial and stock market data, including valuation multiples, for JCI and Tyco and compared that data with similar data for certain other companies, the securities of which are publicly traded, in lines of business that we deemed relevant. We also compared certain of the proposed financial terms of the Transaction with the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of certain other transactions that we deemed relevant and conducted such other financial studies and analyses and took into account such other information as we deemed appropriate.

We express no view or opinion as to the JCI Internal Data, the Tyco Internal Data or the Synergies or the assumptions on which they are based. In addition, at your direction, we have not made any independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (contingent, derivative, off-balance-sheet or otherwise) of JCI or Tyco, nor have we been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal, and we have not been asked to conduct, and did not conduct, a physical inspection of the properties or assets of JCI or Tyco. We have assumed, at your direction, that the final executed Agreement will not differ in any respect material to our analysis or this opinion from the Draft Agreement reviewed by us. We have also assumed, at your direction, that the Transaction will be consummated on the terms set forth in the Agreement and in accordance with all applicable laws and other relevant documents or requirements, without delay or the waiver, modification or amendment of any term, condition or agreement or change in applicable law, the effect of which would be material to our analysis or this opinion and that, in the course of obtaining the necessary governmental, regulatory and other approvals, consents, releases and waivers for the Transaction, no delay, limitation, restriction, condition or other change, including any divestiture requirements or amendments or modifications, will be imposed, the effect of which would be material to our analysis or this opinion.

Board of Directors Johnson Controls, Inc. 5757 North Green Bay Avenue Milwaukee, Wisconsin

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Members of the Board of Directors:

We understand that Johnson Controls, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (the "Company"), intends to enter into a transaction (the "Proposed Transaction") with Tyco International plc, a Republic of Ireland public limited company (the "Counterparty"), pursuant to which (i) Jagara Merger Sub LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Counterparty ("Merger Sub"), will merge with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving corporation; and (ii) each of the shares of common stock of the Company, par value $1.00 per share (the "Company Common Stock"), issued and outstanding will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder thereof and subject to certain proration and adjustment procedures (as to which we express no view or opinion) set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 24, 2016, by and among the Company, the Counterparty and Merger Sub (the "Agreement"), the following: (a) $34.88 in cash per share (the "Cash Consideration") or (b) one common share (the "Exchange Ratio") of the Counterparty (the "Counterparty Common Stock") (the "Stock Consideration" and, the aggregate Stock Consideration together with the aggregate Cash Consideration, the "Merger Consideration"). The Exchange Ratio was calculated based on an assumption that the Parent Share Consolidation (as defined in the Agreement), pursuant to which each share of Counterparty Common Stock will be converted into 0.9550 share of Counterparty Common Stock, will have been effectuated prior to the effective time of the Proposed Transaction in accordance with the Agreement. We understand it is anticipated that, immediately following the consummation of the Proposed Transaction, holders of Company Common Stock will own approximately fifty-six percent of the outstanding Counterparty Common Stock. In addition, we understand that the Spin Off (as defined in the Agreement) will be effectuated after, and not before, the effective time of the Proposed Transaction. The terms and conditions of the Proposed Transaction are set forth in more detail in the Agreement. The summary of the Proposed Transaction set forth above is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Agreement.

We have been requested by the Board of Directors of the Company to render our opinion with respect to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Company Common Stock (other than Company Common Stock owned by the Company, the Counterparty, Merger Sub or any subsidiary of the Counterparty that is a direct or indirect owner of Merger Sub immediately prior to the effective time of the Proposed Transaction and other than the Company Common Stock underlying the Company Restricted Stock Awards (as defined in the Agreement) (collectively, the "Excluded Shares")) of the Merger Consideration to be offered to such holders in the Proposed Transaction. We have not been requested to opine as to, and our opinion does not in any manner address, the Company's underlying business decision to proceed with or effect the Proposed Transaction or the likelihood of consummation of the Proposed Transaction. Our opinion does not address the relative merits of the Proposed Transaction as compared to any other transaction or business strategy in which the Company might engage. In addition, we express no opinion on, and our opinion does not in any

manner address (i) the fairness of the amount or the nature of any compensation to any officers, directors or employees of any parties to the Proposed Transaction, or any class of such persons, relative to the Merger Consideration to be offered to the holders of Company Common Stock in the Proposed Transaction or otherwise; (ii) the allocation of the Merger Consideration as among holders of Company Common Stock who receive the Cash Consideration or the Stock Consideration; or (iii) the relative fairness of the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration.

In arriving at our opinion, we reviewed and analyzed: (1) a draft of the Agreement, dated as of January 24, 2016 and the specific terms of the Proposed Transaction; (2) publicly available information concerning the Company and the Counterparty that we believe to be relevant to our analysis, including the Annual Report of the Company on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 and the Annual Report of the Counterparty on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 25, 2015; (3) financial and operating information with respect to the business, operations and prospects of the Company furnished to us by the Company, including financial projections of the Company prepared by management of the Company (the "Company Projections"); (4) financial and operating information with respect to the business, operations and prospects of the Counterparty, furnished to us by the Company, including financial projections of the Counterparty prepared by management of the Counterparty (the "Counterparty Projections"); (5) a trading history of the Company Common Stock from January 23, 2015 to January 22, 2016 and the trading history of the Counterparty Common Stock over the same period; (6) a comparison of the trading history of the Company Common Stock and the Counterparty Common Stock from January 23, 2015 to January 22, 2016; (7) a comparison of the historical financial results and present financial condition of the Company and the Counterparty, in each case, with those of other companies that we deemed relevant; (8) a comparison of certain of the financial terms of the Proposed Transaction with the financial terms of certain other transactions that we deemed relevant; (9) published estimates of independent research analysts with respect to the future financial performance and price targets of the Company and the Counterparty; (10) the pro forma impact of the Proposed Transaction on the future financial performance of the combined company, including cost savings, tax and operating synergies and other strategic benefits expected by the management of the Company to result from the Proposed Transaction (including the pro forma ownership of the combined company expected by the management of the Company to result from the consummation of the Proposed Transaction) furnished to us by the Company for purposes of our analysis (the "Synergies"); and (11) the relative values of the Company and the Counterparty. In addition, we have had discussions with the management of the Company and the Counterparty concerning their respective business, operations, assets, liabilities, financial condition and prospects and have undertaken such other studies, analyses and investigations as we deemed appropriate.

In arriving at our opinion, we have assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information used by us without any independent verification of such information (and have not assumed responsibility or liability for any independent verification of such information) and have further relied upon the assurances of the management of the Company that they are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make such information inaccurate or misleading. Upon the advice and at the direction of the Company, we have assumed that the Company Projections have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company as to the financial performance of the Company and that the Company will perform substantially in accordance with such projections. With respect to the Counterparty Projections, upon the advice and at the direction of the Company, we have assumed that such projections have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Counterparty as to the financial performance of the Counterparty and that the Counterparty will perform substantially in accordance with such projections. With respect to the Synergies, upon the advice and at the direction of the Company, we have assumed that the Synergies have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the managements of the Company and the Counterparty, including as to

the amount and timing of realization. We have relied, at your direction, on the Company Projections, the Counterparty Projections and the Synergies and we assume no responsibility for and we express no view as to the estimates or the assumptions on which they are based. In arriving at our opinion, we have not conducted a physical inspection of the properties and facilities of the Company or those of the Counterparty and have not made or obtained any evaluations or appraisals of the assets or liabilities of the Company or those of the Counterparty. Our opinion necessarily is based upon market, economic, regulatory and other conditions as they exist on, and can be evaluated as of, the date of this letter. We assume no responsibility for updating or revising our opinion based on events or circumstances that may occur after the date of this letter. In addition, we express no opinion as to the prices at which (i) the Company Common Stock or the Counterparty Common Stock would trade at any time following the announcement of the Proposed Transaction or (ii) the Counterparty Common Stock will trade at any time following the consummation of the Proposed Transaction. Our opinion should not be viewed as providing any assurance that the market value of the shares of the Counterparty Common Stock to be held by the shareholders of the Company after the consummation of the Proposed Transaction will be in excess of the market value of the shares of the Company Common Stock owned by such shareholders at any time prior to the announcement or consummation of the Proposed Transaction.

We have assumed that the executed Agreement will conform in all material respects to the last draft reviewed by us. In addition, we have assumed the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement. We have also assumed, upon the advice of the Company, that all governmental, regulatory and third party approvals, consents and releases for the Proposed Transaction, that in each case are material to our analyses and this opinion, will be obtained within the constraints contemplated by the Agreement and that the Proposed Transaction will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Agreement without waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement thereof or change in any applicable law. We do not express any opinion as to any tax or other consequences that might result from the Proposed Transaction, nor does our opinion address any legal, tax, regulatory or accounting matters, as to which we understand that the Company has obtained such advice as it deemed necessary from qualified professionals.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion as of the date hereof that, the aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to the Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Company Common Stock (other than the Excluded Shares).

We have acted as financial advisor to the Company in connection with the Proposed Transaction and will receive a fee for our services, a portion of which is payable upon rendering this opinion and a portion of which is payable and contingent upon the consummation of the Proposed Transaction. In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse a portion of our expenses and indemnify us for certain liabilities that may arise out of our engagement. We have performed various investment banking and financial services for the Company and the Counterparty in the past, and expect to perform such services in the future, and have received, and expect to receive, customary fees for such services. Specifically, in the past two years, we have performed the following investment banking and financial services: (A) for the Company (i) in June 2014, as joint bookrunner for the Company's $1.7 billion fixed rate senior notes offering; (ii) engaged in various debt interest rate and foreign exchange risk management activities; and (iii) as lender in the Company's revolving credit facilities; and (B) for the Counterparty (i) in February 2015, as co-manager for the Counterparty's $500 million Euro bond offering; (ii) engaged in various foreign exchange risk management activities; (iii) as lender in the Counterparty's revolving credit facility; and (iv) as dealer, from time to time, under the Counterparty's commercial paper program.

The Board of Directors Tyco International plc 9 Roszel Road Princeton, NJ 08540

We understand that Tyco International plc, an Irish public limited company (" Parent "), Jagara Merger Sub LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (" Merger Sub "), Johnson Controls, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (the " Company "), and the other party that is a signatory thereto, propose to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the " Agreement "), pursuant to which (a) Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company and each outstanding share of the common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company (" Company Common Stock ") (other than shares of (i) Company Common Stock to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(c) of the Agreement and (ii) Company Common Stock to be converted in accordance with Section 2.1(d) or Section 2.1(e) of the Agreement) will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder thereof, either (x) 1 validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable ordinary share (" Parent Common Stock "), par value $0.01, of Parent (the " Share Consideration ") or (y) $34.88 in cash, without interest (the " Cash Consideration " and, together with the Share Consideration, the " Merger Consideration "), subject to certain adjustments and proration procedures as more fully described in the Agreement (the " Transaction "). Pursuant to the Agreement, immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, each share of Parent Common Stock will be converted pursuant to a share consolidation into the right to receive 0.955 validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock (the " Share Consolidation Ratio "). The terms and conditions of the Transaction are more fully set forth in the Agreement.

You have requested our opinion as of the date hereof as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Parent Common Stock (other than the Company and its affiliates) of the Share Consolidation Ratio (after giving effect to the consummation of the Transaction and taking into account the Merger Consideration).

In connection with this opinion, we have:

We have assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the foregoing information, without independent verification of such information. We have not conducted any independent valuation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Company or Parent or concerning the solvency or fair value of the Company, Parent or the combined company after giving effect to the Transaction, and we have not been furnished with any such valuation or appraisal. With respect to the financial forecasts utilized in our analyses, including those related to projected synergies and other benefits anticipated by the managements of Parent and the Company to be realized from the Transaction, we have assumed, with the consent of Parent, that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments as to the future financial performance of the Company and Parent, respectively and such synergies and other benefits. In addition, we have assumed, with the consent of Parent, that such financial forecasts, including projected synergies and other benefits, will be realized in the amounts and at the times contemplated thereby. We assume no responsibility for and express no view as to any such forecasts or the assumptions on which they are based.

Further, our opinion is necessarily based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. We assume no responsibility for updating or revising our opinion based on circumstances or events occurring after the date hereof. We do not express any opinion as to the prices at which shares of Parent Common Stock or the Company Common Stock may trade at any time subsequent to the announcement of the Transaction. In connection with our engagement, we were not authorized to, and we did not, solicit indications of interest from third parties regarding a potential transaction with Parent. Our opinion does not address the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any other transaction or business strategy in which Parent might engage or the merits of the underlying decision by Parent to engage in the Transaction.

In rendering our opinion, we have assumed, with the consent of Parent, that the Transaction will be consummated on the terms described in the Agreement, without any waiver or modification of any material terms or conditions. Representatives of Parent have advised us, and we have assumed, that the Agreement, when executed, will conform to the draft reviewed by us in all material respects. We have assumed, with the consent of Parent, that adjustments (if any) to the Merger Consideration or Share Consolidation Ratio will not be material in any respect to our analyses or opinion. We also have assumed, with the consent of Parent, that obtaining the necessary governmental, regulatory or third party approvals and consents for the Transaction will not have an adverse effect on Parent, the Company or the Transaction. The tax elements of our financial analyses, and the tax attributes expected to apply to the combined company following the consummation of the Transaction, were provided to us by Parent.

reasonable and we do not express any view or opinion with respect thereto. We do not express any opinion as to any tax or other consequences that might result from the Transaction, nor does our opinion address any legal, tax, regulatory or accounting matters, as to which we understand that Parent obtained such advice as it deemed necessary from qualified professionals. We express no view or opinion as to any terms or other aspects (other than the Share Consolidation Ratio to the extent expressly specified herein) of the Transaction, including, without limitation, the form or structure of the Transaction or any agreements or arrangements entered into in connection with, or contemplated by, the Transaction.

In addition, we express no view or opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of, or any other aspects relating to, the compensation to any officers, directors or employees of any parties to the Transaction, or class of such persons, relative to the Share Consolidation Ratio or otherwise.

Lazard Frères & Co. LLC (" Lazard ") is acting as financial advisor to Parent in connection with the Transaction and will receive a fee for such services, a portion of which is payable upon the rendering of this opinion and a substantial portion of which is contingent upon the closing of the Transaction. We in the past have provided certain investment banking services to Parent for which we have received compensation. In addition, in the ordinary course, Lazard and our affiliates and employees may trade securities of Parent and the Company for their own accounts and for the accounts of their customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities, and may also trade and hold securities on behalf of Parent, the Company and certain of their respective affiliates.

Our engagement and the opinion expressed herein are for the benefit of the Board of Directors of Parent (in its capacity as such) and our opinion is rendered to the Board of Directors of Parent in connection with its evaluation of the Transaction.

PART II INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The articles of association of Tyco provide that it shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by Irish company law, every member of the board of directors and the company secretary against all costs, charges, losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by them in the execution and discharge of their duties or in relation thereto including liability incurred by them in defending any proceedings, civil or criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done or omitted by them as an officer or employee of Tyco and in which judgment is given in their favor (or the proceedings are otherwise disposed of without any finding or admission of any material breach of duty on their part) or in which they are acquitted or in connection with any application under any statute for relief from liability in respect of any such act or omission in which relief is granted to them by a court.

In respect of any current or former executive officer of Tyco (excluding any present or former member of the board of directors or any company secretary), or any person who is serving or has served at the request of Tyco as a director or executive officer of another company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including any subsidiary of Tyco (each individually, a "Covered Person"), Tyco's articles of association provide that it shall (1) indemnify them, to the fullest extent permitted by Irish company law, against any expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to which they were or are threatened to be made a party, or are otherwise involved (a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that they were or are a Covered Person; provided, however, that any Covered Person shall not be indemnified by Tyco against any liability arising out of (a) any fraud or dishonesty in the performance of such Covered Person's duty to Tyco, or (b) such Covered Party's conscious, intentional or willful breach of the obligation to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of Tyco and (2) indemnify each Covered Person in the case of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by or in the name of Tyco against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or the settlement thereof, except no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for fraud or dishonesty in the performance of his or her duty to Tyco, or for conscious, intentional or willful breach of their obligation to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of Tyco, unless and only to the extent that the High Court of Ireland or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such Covered Person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper.

In addition, Tyco has entered into a Deed of Indemnification (the "Tyco Indemnification Agreement") with each of its directors, secretary and executive officers (the "Indemnified Persons"). In addition, Tyco Fire & Security (US) Management, Inc., a Nevada corporation that is a subsidiary of Tyco ("Tyco Management") has entered an Indemnification Agreement with each of the Indemnified Persons (the "Tyco Management Indemnification Agreement," and, together with the Tyco Indemnification Agreement, the "Indemnification Agreements").

The Tyco Indemnification Agreement provides that if an Indemnified Person was, is or becomes a party to, or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to, witness or other participant in, or is involved in a proceeding by reason of being a director, secretary, officer or employee of Tyco or while a director, secretary or officer of Tyco is or was serving at the request of Tyco or an affiliate of Tyco as a director, officer, secretary, employee, trustee, agent or fiduciary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, employee benefit plan or trust, then Tyco will indemnify the Indemnified Person against all expenses, liability or loss to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Tyco Management Indemnification Agreement provides

that if an Indemnified Person was, is or becomes a party to, or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to, witness or other participant in, or is involved in a proceeding by reason of being a director, secretary, officer or employee of Tyco or while a director or secretary of Tyco is or was serving at the request of Tyco Management as a director, officer, secretary, employee, trustee, agent or fiduciary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, employee benefit plan or trust, then Tyco Management will indemnify the Indemnified Person against all expenses, liability or loss to the fullest extent permitted by law. An Indemnified Person will not be entitled to indemnification in connection with a proceeding initiated by an Indemnified Person against Tyco except in certain circumstances set forth in the Indemnification Agreements. Under the Tyco Management Indemnification Agreement, the Indemnified Person will be entitled to advancement of reimbursement by Tyco Management of expenses upon receipt by Tyco Management of an undertaking by the Indemnified Person to repay all amounts paid or reimbursed by Tyco Management if it is ultimately determined that such criteria for indemnification have not been satisfied. The Indemnification Agreements also provide for Tyco to consider whether to make the advancement of reimbursement to the Indemnified Person in respect of the relevant liability. No indemnification will be paid pursuant to the Indemnification Agreements (1) on account of any proceeding in which judgment is rendered against an Indemnified Person for an accounting of profits from the purchase or sale of securities of Tyco pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or (2) if a court finally determines that the indemnification is not permitted under applicable law, or (3) on account of any proceeding pursuant to which the Indemnified Person has been convicted of a crime constituting a felony or (4) on account of any proceedings brought by Tyco or any of its subsidiaries against the Indemnified Person.

Tyco maintains $200 million of insurance to reimburse the directors and officers of Tyco and its subsidiaries, for charges and expenses incurred by them for wrongful acts claimed against them by reason of their being or having been directors or officers of Tyco or any of its subsidiaries. Such insurance specifically excludes reimbursement of any director or officer for any charge or expense incurred in connection with various designated matters, including libel or slander, illegally obtained personal profits, profits recovered by Tyco pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and deliberate dishonesty.

The foregoing summaries are qualified in their entirety by the actual terms and provisions of such arrangements.
