How do I attend the Annual General Meeting?
All shareholders are invited to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting. For admission to
the Annual General Meeting, shareholders of record should bring the admission ticket attached to the
enclosed proxy card to the Registered Shareholders check-in area and a form of photo identification,
where their ownership will be verified. Those who beneficially own shares should come to the
Beneficial Owners check-in area. To be admitted, beneficial owners must bring account statements or
letters from their banks or brokers showing that they own Tyco common shares as of January 11, 2010
along with a form of photo identification. Registration will begin at 2:00 p.m. Central European Time
and the Annual General Meeting will begin at 3:00 p.m. Central European Time.
What if I return my proxy or voting instruction card but do not mark it to show how I am voting?
Your common shares will be voted according to the instructions you have indicated on your proxy
or voting instruction card. If you sign and return your proxy card or voting instruction card but do not
indicate instructions for voting, your common shares will be voted: ‘‘FOR’’ the election of all nominees
to the Board named on the proxy card; ‘‘FOR’’ proposals two through six; and, with respect to any
other matter which may properly come before the Annual General Meeting, and any adjournment or
postponement thereof, in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors.
May I change or revoke my vote after I return my proxy or voting instruction card?
You may change your vote before it is exercised by:
• Notifying our Secretary in writing before the Annual General Meeting that you are revoking
your proxy or, if you beneficially own your common shares, follow the instructions on the voting
instruction card;
• Submitting another proxy card (or voting instruction card if you beneficially own your common
shares) with a later date;
• If you are a holder of record, or a beneficial owner with a proxy from the holder of record,
voting in person at the Annual General Meeting; or
• If you voted by telephone or the Internet, submitting subsequent voting instructions through the
telephone or Internet.
If you have granted your proxy to the independent proxy and wish to revoke or change the proxy,
you should send a revocation letter, and new proxy, if applicable, directly to the independent proxy,
Dr. Harald Maag, Attorney-at-Law, Forchstrasse 452, P.O. Box 1432, CH-8032 Z¨ urich, or by fax at
[phone].
What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy or voting instruction card?
It means you have multiple accounts at the transfer agent and/or with banks and stockbrokers.
Please vote all of your common shares. Beneficial owners sharing an address who are receiving multiple
copies of the proxy materials and Annual Report will need to contact their broker, bank or other
nominee to request that only a single copy of each document be mailed to all shareholders at the
shared address in the future. In addition, if you are the beneficial owner, but not the record holder, of
Tyco’s common shares, your broker, bank or other nominee may deliver only one copy of the Proxy
Statement and Annual Report to multiple shareholders who share an address unless that nominee has
received contrary instructions from one or more of the shareholders. Tyco will deliver promptly, upon
written or oral request, a separate copy of the Proxy Statement and Annual Report to a shareholder at
a shared address to which a single copy of the documents was delivered. Shareholders who wish to
receive a separate written copy of the Proxy Statement and Annual Report, now or in the future,
should submit their request to Tyco by telephone at [phone] or by submitting a written
request to Tyco Shareholder Services, Tyco International Ltd., Freier Platz 10, CH-8200 Schaffhausen,
Switzerland.
