INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROXY STATEMENT AND THE ANNUAL MEETING—CONTINUED
the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote
your shares and are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting.
However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may only
vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting if you follow the
instructions described below under the headings “How do I attend
the Annual Meeting?” and “How do I vote?” If you have received
paper copies of the proxy materials, your broker, bank or other
nominee has enclosed a voting instruction form for you to use in
directing your broker, bank or other nominee as to how to vote your
shares, which may contain instructions for voting by telephone or
electronically.
How do I vote?
You can vote in the following ways:
•By Mail: If you are a holder of record and elect to receive a paper
copy of your proxy materials, you can vote by marking, dating and
signing the proxy card and returning it by mail in the enclosed
postage-paid envelope. If you beneficially own your shares and
receive a voting instruction form, you can vote by following the
instructions on your voting instruction form. Please refer to
information from your bank, broker or other nominee on how to
submit voting instructions.
•By Internet or Telephone: You can vote over the Internet at
www.proxyvote.com by following the instructions on the proxy
card, voting instruction form or in the Notice previously sent to
you. You can vote using a touchtone telephone by calling 1-800-
690-6903.
•At the Annual Meeting: If you are a holder of record planning to
attend the Annual Meeting and wish to vote your shares in person,
we will give you a ballot at the meeting. Stockholders who own
their shares in street name are not able to vote at the Annual
Meeting unless they have a proxy, executed in their favor, from
their broker, bank or other nominee, the holder of record of their
shares.
Even if you plan to be present at the Annual Meeting, we encourage
you to complete and mail the enclosed card to vote your shares by
proxy or vote by phone or the Internet. Telephone and Internet voting
facilities for stockholders will be available 24 hours a day and will
close at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on March 16, 2015. Proxy cards
mailed by holders of record must be received no later than March 16,
2015 in order to be counted in the vote.
How do I vote by proxy given to a Company
officer if I am a holder of record?
If you properly fill in your proxy card appointing an officer of the
Company as your proxy and submit it to us in time to vote, your
proxy, meaning one of the individuals named on your proxy card, will
vote your shares as you have directed.
If other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting and any
adjournment or postponement thereof for consideration and you are a
holder of record and have submitted a proxy, the persons named as
proxies will have the discretion to vote on those matters for you.
At the time we began printing this Proxy Statement, we knew of no
matters intended to be raised at the Annual Meeting other than those
described in this Proxy Statement.
Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to
submit your proxy. Returning the proxy card or submitting your vote
electronically will not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting.
How do I attend the Annual Meeting?
All stockholders as of January 20, 2015 are invited to attend and vote
at the Annual Meeting. For admission to the Annual Meeting, if you
are a stockholder of record, you should bring the admission ticket
which is part of the proxy card and a form of photo identification to
the Registered Stockholders check-in area, where your ownership will
be verified. Those who beneficially own shares should come to the
Beneficial Owners check-in area. To be admitted, if you are a
beneficial owner, you must bring an account statement or letter from
your bank, broker or nominee showing that you own ADT shares as
of January 20, 2015 along with a form of photo identification.
Registration will begin at 8:00 a.m., and the Annual Meeting will begin
at 8:30 a.m.
What if I return my proxy card but do not
mark it to show how I am voting?
Your shares will be voted according to the instructions you have
indicated. If you sign and return your proxy card but do not indicate
instructions for voting, your shares will be voted: “FOR” the election of
all nominees to the Board of Directors named on the proxy card;
“FOR” the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm for fiscal year 2015 and “FOR” the
approval, in a non-binding vote, of the compensation of ADT’s named
executive officers.
If other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting and any
adjournment or postponement thereof for consideration and you are a
holder of record and have submitted a proxy, the persons named as
proxies will have the discretion to vote on those matters for you.

submit my vote via telephone or the
Internet, or return my proxy or voting
instruction form?
You may change your vote by:
•If you are a holder of record, by notifying our Corporate Secretary
in writing before the Annual Meeting that you are revoking your
proxy or, if you beneficially own your shares, following the
