•The independent directors as a group elect the members and the chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee. Assignments to, and
chairs of, the Audit and Compensation Committees are recommended by the Nominating and Governance Committee and selected by the
Board of Directors. All committees report regularly on their activities to the Board of Directors.
•The Chairman of the Board of Directors may convene a “special committee” to review certain material matters being considered by the Board
of Directors from time to time. The special committee will report their activities to the Board of Directors.
•To ensure effective discussion and decision making while at the same time having a sufficient number of independent directors for its three
standing committees, the Board of Directors is normally constituted of between seven and nine directors but may consist of as many as
twelve directors as determined by the Board of Directors from time to time. Subject to ADT’s certificate of incorporation, the number of
directors shall be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors, and vacancies occurring in the Board of Directors may be filled only by a
majority of the vote of the remaining directors then in office.
•The Nominating and Governance Committee annually reviews the organization of the Board of Directors and recommends appropriate
changes to the full Board of Directors.
Each of the committees operates under a written charter that is posted to our website at http://investors.adt.com. We will also provide a printed
copy of the committee charters to stockholders upon written request to the Corporate Secretary at The ADT Corporation, 1501 Yamato Road,
Boca Raton, Florida 33431.
