There may be other risks and uncertainties that we are unable to predict at this time or that we currently do not expect to have a material adverse effect on our business. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update these forward-looking statements other than as required by law.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

TE Connectivity and TEGSA may offer and sell the securities offered by this prospectus to or through one or more underwriters, dealers and agents, or directly to purchasers, on a continuous or delayed basis. TE Connectivity and TEGSA will provide a specific plan of distribution for any securities to be offered in a supplement to this prospectus.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

TE Connectivity is a Swiss company, and TEGSA is a Luxembourg company. TE Connectivity and TEGSA have consented in the indenture to be used in connection with the issuance of debt securities to submit to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal and state courts in The City of New York and to receive service of process in The City of New York in any legal suit, action or proceeding brought to enforce any rights under or with respect to such indenture and any debt securities or guarantees issued under it. A substantial majority of TE Connectivity's directly held assets consists of shares in TEGSA. Accordingly, any judgment against TEGSA or TE Connectivity in respect of the indenture, the notes or the guarantee, including for civil liabilities under the U.S. federal securities laws, obtained in any U.S. federal or state court may have to be enforced in the courts of Luxembourg or Switzerland. Investors should not assume that the courts of Luxembourg or Switzerland would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against TEGSA or TE Connectivity predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or that such courts would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against TEGSA or TE Connectivity predicated solely upon such laws.

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

TEGSA is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg. Certain members of the board of directors are non-residents of the United States and a substantial portion of TEGSA's assets and those of such directors are located outside the United States. As a result, you may not be able to effect a service of

process within the United States on TEGSA or on such persons or to enforce in Luxembourg courts judgments obtained against TEGSA or such persons in U.S. courts, including actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal and state securities laws or other laws. Likewise, it may also be difficult for an investor to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained against TEGSA or such persons in courts in jurisdictions outside the United States, including actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws.

TEGSA has been advised by Allen & Overy, société en commandite simple, its Luxembourg counsel, that the United States and the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg are not currently bound by a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments (other than arbitral awards) rendered in civil and commercial matters. According to such counsel, an enforceable judgment for the payment of monies rendered by any U.S. federal or state court based on civil liability, whether or not predicated solely upon the U.S. securities laws, would not directly be enforceable in Luxembourg. However, a party who received such favorable judgment in a U.S. court may initiate enforcement proceedings in Luxembourg ( exequatur ) by requesting enforcement of the U.S. judgment before the District Court ( Tribunal d'Arrondissement ) of Luxembourg sitting in civil matters pursuant to Section 678 of the New Luxembourg Code of Civil Procedure. The president of the District Court will authorize the enforcement in Luxembourg of the U.S. judgment if it is satisfied that all of the following conditions are met:

LEGAL MATTERS

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, New York, New York will pass upon the validity of the debt securities, guarantees, warrants and units offered by TE Connectivity or TEGSA. The validity of the registered shares offered by TE Connectivity will be passed upon by Bär & Karrer, Zurich, Switzerland, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement.

EXPERTS

The consolidated financial statements, and the related financial statement schedule, incorporated in this Prospectus by reference from TE Connectivity Ltd.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2018, and the effectiveness of TE Connectivity Ltd. and its subsidiaries' 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.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:10.0pt;text-indent:-10.0pt;" Tyco Electronics Group S.A.

Under the articles of association of TEGSA, TEGSA may indemnify any director or officer and his or her heirs, executors and administrators against expenses reasonably incurred by such director or officer in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which the director or officer may be made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of TEGSA or, at TEGSA's request, of any other corporation of which TEGSA is a shareholder or creditor and from which the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified, except in relation to matters as to which the director or officer is finally adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding to be liable for gross negligence or misconduct.

In the event of a settlement, indemnification will be provided only in connection with such matters covered by the settlement as to which TEGSA is advised by counsel that the person to be indemnified did not commit a breach of duty. Luxembourg law permits TEGSA to maintain insurance to compensate for any civil liability incurred by a director or officer in his or her official capacity or to indemnify for such loss or liability, and TE Connectivity has policies covering TEGSA's directors and officers.
