ADT 2009 Annual Report Download - page 14

improvement in the global economy, the
pace of recovery remains uncertain, and
soft business conditions will prevail well
into the year. As a result, we have set four
key priorities to help us stay the course:
continue to invest in our business for
long-term growth, expand our leadership
position in our global platforms, adjust our
cost structure, and develop our people.
Our condence in our ability to
achieve these goals comes from the
hard work and resolve of our more than
100,000 employees around the world.
I’d like to personally thank them for
their extraordinary efforts.
We also draw great strength from
our Board of Directors, a team of
knowledgeable and experienced business
leaders. Jerry York, former chief nancial
ofcer at IBM and Chrysler, will retire
from our Board in conjunction with
our annual meeting in March. Jerry
joined us at a time when our company
faced signicant challenges, and we have
been fortunate to draw on his leadership,
experience and sound judgment over
the last seven years. Nominated to
replace him is Mike Daniels, senior vice
president of the Global Technology
Services group at IBM. In addition,
David Yost, chief executive ofcer of
AmerisourceBergen, also joined our
Board in 2009.
I want to thank you, our shareholders,
for your continued loyalty and support.
We pledge to you that the values we’ve
worked so diligently to cultivate at Tyco —
integrity, excellence, teamwork, and
accountability — will continue to guide
our decisions and actions in the years
ahead.

Chairman and Chief Executive Ofcer
