6MOTOROLA, INC.
As we progress through 2002, a new reality continues to evolve. The role of
sophisticated, flexible and reliable communications has never been more important.
What’s relevant to society? Simplicity. Safety. Security. Innovation. Leadership. Quality.
The ability to protect. The ability to respond. Motorola

solutions are making things smarter and life better all over the world.
Over the course of our history, Motorola has enjoyed wave after wave of
growth in the marketplace, moving from a privately owned startup to a globally
acknowledged industry leader. We have helped to define the way the world com-
municates. And now, we intend to become as financially successful as we are
technologically successful.
We are setting ambitious goals to ensure that Motorola is well positioned to
take advantage of the resumption of strength in our marketplaces. We are confi-
dent that the invigorating actions we are now taking will reward our stockholders.
We think you’re going to like the leaner, more responsive company we’ve become.
Leadership transition
In closing, we would like to take special note of the transition of Bob Growney on
December 31, 2001 from his position as president and chief operating officer to
vice chairman of the Board of Directors and his pending retirement from Motorola
effective March 31, 2002.
It has been a special privilege for this senior leadership team to work with Bob.
We all have benefited greatly from his wisdom and counsel. We thank him for the
thoughtful and significant contributions he has made during his 35-year Motorola
career and look forward to building on his long record of achievement as we enter
the next stage of our company’s development.
Our business strategies and new course of action are designed to enhance the
shareholder value of this great company. We enter 2002 leaner, more agile, and
more fiscally sound. We respect the monumental challenges we face. With renewed
commitment, we are a leadership team that is fiercely dedicated to the ideas, energy,
innovation and stamina it will take to move Motorola forward. From the extraordinary
challenges of 2001, we rebuild and renew.
