FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.    Basis of Presentation

        Tyco Electronics Ltd. ("Tyco Electronics" or the "Company") is a leading global provider of engineered electronic components, network solutions, specialty products, and undersea telecommunication systems.

        Effective January 1, 2009, the Company established the Specialty Products Group from its existing businesses. Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the results of this new organization are reported as a separate reporting segment. This new segment is comprised of the Medical Products, Circuit Protection, Touch Systems, and Aerospace, Defense, and Marine businesses which were formerly reported in the Electronic Components segment. See Note 20 for additional information regarding the Company's segments.

        Effective June 25, 2009, the Company discontinued its existence as a Bermuda company as provided in Section 132G of The Companies Act of 1981 of Bermuda, as amended (the "Bermuda Companies Act"), and, in accordance with article 161 of the Swiss Federal Code on International Private Law, continued its existence as a Swiss company under articles 620 et seq. of the Swiss Code of Obligations (the "Change of Domicile"). The rights of holders of the Company's shares are now governed by Swiss law, the Company's Swiss articles of association, and its Swiss organizational regulations. The articles of association and organizational regulations were included as exhibits to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on June 25, 2009.

        Effective June 29, 2007, the Company became the parent company of the former electronics businesses of Tyco International Ltd. ("Tyco International"). On June 29, 2007, Tyco International distributed all of its shares of Tyco Electronics, as well as its shares of its former healthcare businesses ("Covidien"), to its common shareholders (the "Separation").

        The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in United States dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. In management's opinion, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim results. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire fiscal year or any subsequent interim period.

        The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in

conjunction with the Company's audited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements contained in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed June 5, 2009.

        Unless otherwise indicated, references in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008 are to the Company's fiscal years ending September 25, 2009 and September 26, 2008, respectively.

        During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company reclassified certain expenses on its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Research, development, and engineering expenses, which were previously classified as cost of sales, are separately presented in this report. Also, intangible asset amortization expense, which was previously reflected in selling, general, and administrative expenses, is now presented in cost of sales.

        Research, development, and engineering expenses were $130 million and $152 million for the quarters ended June 26, 2009 and June 27, 2008, respectively, and $405 million and $438 million for the nine months ended June 26, 2009 and June 27, 2008, respectively. Intangible asset amortization expense was $7 million and $9 million for the quarters ended June 26, 2009 and June 27, 2008, respectively, and $23 million and $25 million for the nine months ended June 26, 2009 and June 27, 2008, respectively. The reclassifications had no impact on previously reported operating income (loss), net income (loss), or earnings (loss) per share. All prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

2.    Accounting Pronouncements

        In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 165, "Subsequent Events." SFAS No. 165 establishes general standards for accounting and disclosure of events occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to issuance of the financial statements. The Company adopted SFAS No. 165 in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. See Note 21 for the required disclosures related to subsequent events.

        In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") No. FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board ("APB") 28-1, "Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments." FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. It also amends APB Opinion No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting," to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. The Company adopted FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. See Note 11 for the required disclosures related to the fair value of financial instruments.

        In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133." SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," to provide improved transparency into the uses and financial statement impact of derivative instruments

and hedging activities. SFAS No. 161 was adopted by the Company in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. See Note 11 for the required disclosures related to derivative instruments and hedging activities.

        In June 2007, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 06-11, "Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards." EITF 06-11 requires that a realized income tax benefit from dividends or dividend equivalent units paid on non-vested restricted shares and restricted share units be reflected as an increase in contributed surplus and reflected as an addition to the Company's excess tax benefit pool, as defined under SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment." The Company adopted EITF 06-11 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

        In March 2007, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 06-10, "Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements." The Company adopted EITF 06-10 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Accordingly, the Company recognized accrued and other current liabilities of $1 million and other liabilities of $4 million on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2009 with a corresponding decrease in the opening balance of accumulated earnings of $5 million.

        In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." SFAS No. 159 permits an entity, on a contract-by-contract basis, to make an irrevocable election to account for certain types of financial instruments and warranty and insurance contracts at fair value, rather than historical cost, with changes in the fair value, whether realized or unrealized, recognized in earnings. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company did not elect to value any existing assets or liabilities at fair value upon adoption, nor did it apply the fair value option to any eligible assets acquired or liabilities incurred during the quarter.

        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company will adopt the non-financial asset and liability fair value provisions in fiscal 2010. See Note 13 for additional information related to fair value measurements.

        In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162." SFAS No. 168 introduces the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the "Codification") that will serve as the single source of authoritative GAAP. Use of the Codification is effective for the Company in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. The adoption of the Codification is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

        In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, "Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)." SFAS No. 167 addresses accounting for variable interest entities, amending FASB Interpretation No. ("FIN") 46(R). SFAS No. 167 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company is currently assessing the impact that SFAS No. 167 will have on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

2.    Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

        In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1, "Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies." FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1 addresses initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company is currently assessing the impact that FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1 will have on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

        In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1, "Employers' Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets."

6.    Goodwill (Continued)

        The Company tests goodwill allocated to reporting units for impairment annually during the fiscal fourth quarter, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances exist that indicate that a reporting unit's carrying value may exceed its fair value. As a result of declines in sales and profitability of the Automotive and Communications and Industrial Solutions reporting units of the Electronic Components segment and the Circuit Protection reporting unit of the Specialty Products segment during the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company determined that an indicator of impairment had occurred and goodwill impairment testing of these reporting units was required. Significant judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. In making this assessment, management relies on a number of factors including, among others, operating results, business plans, economic projections, and anticipated future cash flows. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management's judgment in applying each to the analysis of the recoverability of goodwill.

        The testing for goodwill impairment is a two step process. In performing step I of impairment testing, the Company determined the fair value of the Automotive, Communications and Industrial Solutions, and Circuit Protection reporting units based on a discounted cash flows analysis incorporating the Company's estimate of future operating performance. The results of the step I goodwill impairment tests indicated that the book value of each of the reporting units exceeded its fair value. The failure of the step I goodwill impairment tests triggered step II goodwill impairment tests in which the Company determined the implied fair value of the reporting units' goodwill by comparing the reporting units' fair value determined in step I to the fair value of the reporting units' net assets, including unrecognized intangible assets. The step II goodwill impairment tests resulted in a full impairment charge of $2,088 million for the Automotive reporting unit and partial impairment charges of $1,347 million and $112 million for the Communications and Industrial Solutions and Circuit Protection reporting units, respectively, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

The current portion of long-term debt at June 26, 2009 and September 26, 2008 was comprised of amounts shown as other.

        On June 9, 2009, Tyco Electronics Group S.A. ("TEGSA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, commenced a tender offer to purchase up to $150 million principal amount of its 6.00% senior notes due 2012, up to $100 million principal amount of its 6.55% senior notes due 2017, and up to $100 million principal amount of its 7.125% senior notes due 2037. The debt subject to the tender offer is reflected as long-term on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 26, 2009. Subsequent to the quarter ended June 26, 2009, the Company completed the tender offer. See Note 21 for additional information regarding the tender offer.

        In April 2007, TEGSA entered into a five-year unsecured senior revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility"). In the quarter ended March 27, 2009, $75 million of the commitment was assigned by

Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB to TEGSA, reducing the total effective commitment to $1,425 million. At June 26, 2009 and September 26, 2008, TEGSA had no borrowings under the Credit Facility.

        The Credit Facility contains a financial ratio covenant that requires the Company to limit its ratio of Consolidated Total Debt (as defined in the Credit Facility) to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility) for the then most recently concluded period of four consecutive fiscal quarters to no more than 3.5 to 1.0. The Credit Facility and the Company's other debt agreements contain other customary covenants.

        During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company terminated interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges on $300 million principal amount of the 6.55% senior notes and $200 million principal amount of the 6.00% senior notes. Prior to the termination, the interest rate swaps were marked to fair value, resulting in premiums of $49 million and $14 million associated with the 6.55% senior notes and 6.00% senior notes, respectively. The premiums will be recognized as a reduction in interest expense over the life of the respective notes. See Notes 11 and 21 for additional information on interest rate swaps.

        The fair value of the Company's debt was approximately $2,277 million and $3,115 million at June 26, 2009 and September 26, 2008, respectively.

9.    Guarantees

        Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement and Tax Sharing Agreement, upon Separation, the Company entered into certain guarantee commitments and indemnifications with Tyco International and Covidien. Under these agreements, principally the Tax Sharing Agreement, Tyco International, Covidien, and Tyco Electronics share 27%, 42%, and 31%, respectively, of certain contingent liabilities relating to unresolved pre-Separation tax matters of Tyco International. The effect of the Tax Sharing Agreement is to indemnify the Company for 69% of certain liabilities settled by the Company with respect to unresolved pre-Separation tax matters. Pursuant to that indemnification, the Company has made similar indemnifications to Tyco International and Covidien with respect to 31% of certain liabilities settled by the companies with respect to unresolved pre-Separation tax matters. If any of the companies responsible for all or a portion of such liabilities were to default in its payment of costs or expenses related to any such liability, the Company would be responsible for a portion of the defaulting party or parties' obligation. The Company's indemnification created under the Tax Sharing Agreement qualifies as a guarantee of a third party entity's debt under FIN 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others."

        At June 26, 2009 and September 26, 2008, the Company had a FIN 45 liability representing the indemnifications made to Tyco International and Covidien pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement of $339 million which was reflected in other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

        In disposing of assets or businesses, the Company often provides representations, warranties, and/or indemnities to cover various risks including unknown damage to the assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability for investigation and remediation of environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. The Company does not have the ability to estimate

the potential liability from such indemnities because they relate to unknown conditions. However, the Company has no reason to believe that these uncertainties would have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

        At June 26, 2009, the Company had outstanding letters of credit and letters of guarantee in the amount of $341 million, of which $50 million was related to its contract with the State of New York. See Note 12 for additional information regarding the State of New York contract.

        In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, except for the charges related to the contract with the State of New York discussed below, such obligations will not significantly affect the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

        As disclosed in Note 12, in January 2009, the State of New York (the "State") drew down $50 million against an irrevocable standby letter of credit funded by the Company. As a result, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge equal to the draw. The State has the ability to draw up to an additional $50 million against the standby letter of credit which could result in additional charges and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

        The Company generally records estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale. The changes in the Company's warranty liability for the quarters and nine months ended June 26, 2009 and June 27, 2008 were as follows:

        The Company anticipates that, at a minimum, it will make the minimum required contributions to its pension plans in fiscal 2009 of $4 million for U.S. plans and $77 million for non-U.S. plans. During the nine months ended June 26, 2009, the Company contributed $70 million to its U.S. and non-U.S. plans.

10.    Retirement Plans (Continued)

        The Company expects to make contributions to its postretirement benefit plans of $2 million in fiscal 2009. During the nine months ended June 26, 2009, Company contributions to its postretirement benefit plans were $1 million.

        Subsequent to fiscal year end 2008, conditions have significantly deteriorated in debt and equity markets globally. The deterioration has had a negative effect on the fair value of the Company's U.S. and non-U.S. pension and postretirement benefit plans' assets since September 26, 2008. The impact of the decline in plan assets on minimum required contributions or net periodic benefits cost in future periods could be material to the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

11.    Financial Instruments

        The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt, and derivative financial instruments. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximated book value as of June 26, 2009 and September 26, 2008. See Note 8 for disclosure of the fair value of debt and Note 13 for additional information on fair value measurements.

        The Company uses derivative and non-derivative financial instruments to manage certain exposures to foreign currency, interest rate, and commodity risks.

        The Company accounts for derivative financial instrument contracts on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. For instruments not designated as hedges under SFAS No. 133, the changes in the instruments' fair value are recognized as selling, general, and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For instruments designated as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of a derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the underlying hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of a cash flow hedge are recognized currently, based on the nature of the ineffectiveness, in cost of sales or selling, general, and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

        The Company's derivative financial instruments present certain market and counterparty risks; however, concentration of counterparty risk is mitigated as the Company deals with a variety of major financial institutions worldwide with long-term Standard & Poor's, Moody's, and/or Fitch credit ratings of A/A2 or higher. In addition, only conventional derivative financial instruments are utilized. The Company is exposed to potential losses if a counterparty fails to perform according to the terms of its agreement. With respect to counterparty net asset positions recognized at June 26, 2009, the Company has assessed the likelihood of counterparty default as remote. At this time, the Company is not required, nor does it require, collateral or other security to be furnished by the counterparties to its derivative financial instruments.

        The cash flows related to derivative financial instruments are reported in the operating activities section of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

11.    Financial Instruments (Continued)

        As part of managing the exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts, a portion of which are designated as cash flow hedges pursuant to SFAS No. 133. The objective of these contracts is to minimize impacts to cash flows and profitability due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on intercompany transactions, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other cash transactions.

        At June 26, 2009 and September 26, 2008, the Company had net liabilities of $7 million and $5 million, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to foreign exchange instruments. The Company expects that significantly all of the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income associated with the cash flow hedge-designated instruments will be reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within the next twelve months as adjustments to cost of sales.

        The Company issues debt, from time to time, in capital markets to fund its operations. Such borrowings can result in interest rate exposure. To manage the interest rate exposure and to minimize overall interest cost, the Company has used, and may use in the future, interest rate swaps to convert a portion of its fixed-rate debt into variable rate debt (fair value hedges) and/or convert a portion of its variable rate debt into fixed-rate debt (cash flow hedges).

        During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company terminated interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges on $300 million principal amount of the 6.55% senior notes and $200 million principal amount of the 6.00% senior notes. Prior to the termination, the interest rate swaps were marked to fair value, resulting in premiums of $49 million and $14 million associated with the 6.55% senior notes and 6.00% senior notes, respectively. The premiums will be recognized as a reduction in interest expense over the life of the respective notes. The Company recognized reductions in interest expense relating to these swaps of $2 million and $7 million during the quarter and nine months ended June 26, 2009, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

        During fiscal 2007, in anticipation of issuing fixed-rate debt, the Company entered into and, concurrent with the Company's fixed-rate debt issuance, terminated forward starting interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in interest expense that would result from changes in interest rates between the date of the swap and the Company's anticipated date of issuing fixed-rate debt. These forward starting interest rate swaps were designated as effective hedges of the probable interest payments under SFAS No. 133. Upon the issuance of the Company's senior notes in September 2007, these swaps were terminated for a cash payment of $54 million. The effective portion of these swaps of $53 million was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is recognized in earnings as interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt instruments. The Company recognized interest expense relating to these swaps of $2 million in the quarters ended June 26, 2009 and June 27, 2008, and $5 million in the nine months ended June 26, 2009 and June 27, 2008, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

11.    Financial Instruments (Continued)

        The Company hedges its net investment in certain foreign operations using intercompany non-derivative financial instruments denominated in the same currencies. The aggregate notional value of these hedges was $1,279 million and $1,161 million at June 26, 2009 and September 26, 2008, respectively. As a result of the hedges of net investment, the Company reclassified a foreign exchange loss of $38 million and a gain of $54 million during the quarters ended June 26, 2009 and June 27, 2008, respectively, and losses of $17 million and $283 million during the nine months ended June 26, 2009 and June 27, 2008, respectively. These amounts were recorded as currency translation, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, offsetting foreign exchange gains or losses attributable to the translation of the net investment. See additional information in Note 17.

        As part of managing the exposure to certain commodity price fluctuations, the Company utilizes commodity swap contracts, all of which are designated as cash flow hedges pursuant to SFAS No. 133. The objective of these contracts is to minimize impacts to cash flows and profitability due to changes in prices of commodities used in production.

        At June 26, 2009 and September 26, 2008, the Company's commodity hedges, which related to purchases of gold, were in a gain position of $2 million and had a notional value of $9 million and $21 million, respectively. The Company expects that significantly all of the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income associated with the commodities hedges will be reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within the next twelve months as adjustments to cost of sales. The Company did not engage in commodities hedges during the first nine months of fiscal 2008.

These losses were largely offset by the gains realized as a result of re-measuring assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies to primarily the Euro or U.S. Dollar. These gains and losses were reflected in selling, general, and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Tyco Electronics Legal Proceedings

        The Company is a party to a number of patent infringement and antitrust actions that may require the Company to pay damage awards. The Company has assessed the status of these matters and has recorded liabilities related to certain of these matters where appropriate.

        The Company is a defendant in a number of other pending legal proceedings incidental to present and former operations, acquisitions, and dispositions. The Company does not expect the outcome of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Legal Matters under Separation and Distribution Agreement

        The Separation and Distribution Agreement provided for the allocation among the Company, Tyco International, and Covidien of Tyco International's assets, liabilities, and obligations attributable to periods prior to the Company's and Covidien's separations from Tyco International on June 29, 2007. Under the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Company assumed the liability for, and control of, all pending and threatened legal matters at Separation related to the Company's business or assumed or retained liabilities, and will indemnify the other parties for any liability arising out of or resulting from such assumed legal matters. Tyco Electronics will be responsible for 31% of certain potential liabilities that may arise from litigation pending or threatened at Separation that was not allocated to one of the three parties, and Tyco International and Covidien are responsible for 27% and 42%, respectively, of such liabilities. If any party defaults in payment of its allocated share of any such liability, each non-defaulting party will be responsible for an equal portion of the amount in default together with any other non-defaulting party, although any such payments will not release the obligation of the defaulting party. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Tyco International manages and controls all the legal matters related to the shared contingent liabilities, including the defense or settlement thereof, subject to certain limitations. All costs and expenses that Tyco International incurs in connection with the defense of such litigation, other than the amount of any judgment or settlement, which will be allocated in the manner described above, will be borne equally by Tyco International, Covidien, and the Company.

Tyco International Legal Proceedings

        As previously reported in the Company's periodic filings, prior to the announcement by Tyco International of the planned separation of Tyco Electronics and Covidien in January 2006, Tyco International and certain of its former directors and officers were named as defendants in over 40 purported securities class action lawsuits. As a part of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, any existing or potential liabilities related to the securities class actions were allocated among Tyco International, Covidien, and the Company. The Company is responsible for 31% of potential liabilities that may arise upon the resolution of the remaining pending litigation.

        Most of the securities class actions were transferred to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire for coordinated or consolidated pre-trial proceedings. A consolidated securities class action complaint was filed in these proceedings and on June 12, 2006, the court entered an order certifying a class "consisting of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Tyco securities between December 13, 1999 and June 7, 2002, and who were damaged thereby, excluding defendants, all of the officers, directors and partners thereof, members of their immediate families and their legal representatives, heirs, successors or assigns, and any entity in which any of the foregoing have or had a controlling interest." As previously reported, Tyco International settled 32 of the purported securities class action lawsuits arising from the actions alleged to have been taken by its prior management, for which the Company was responsible for 31%. All legal contingencies that could have affected the final order entered in the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire approving the settlement expired on February 21, 2008. As of the opt-out deadline for the settlement, Tyco International received opt-out notices from individuals and entities totaling approximately 4% of the shares owned by class members. A number of these individuals and entities filed actions separately against Tyco International and/or Tyco International, Covidien, and the Company. In addition, several securities cases remain outstanding, including several cases asserting claims arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA").

        As previously reported, in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, Tyco International, Covidien, and the Company entered into definitive agreements to settle actions captioned Hess v. Tyco International Ltd., et al. and Sciallo v. Tyco International Ltd., et al. and an opt-out case brought by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Pension Reserves Investment Management Board. Pursuant to the sharing formula in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Company recorded charges of $9 million, for which no tax benefit was available.

        As previously reported, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, Tyco International, Covidien, and the Company settled opt-out cases with Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC and related plaintiffs and the Public Employees' Retirement Association of Colorado. Pursuant to the sharing formula, the Company recorded charges of $19 million, for which no tax benefit was available. Additionally, as previously reported, the Company recorded reserves totaling $375 million representing the best estimate of probable loss for the remaining securities litigation claims subject to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, including remaining opt-out cases and cases arising under ERISA. As a result, the Company recorded a charge in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 of $116 million for its share of the reserves, for which no tax benefit was available.

        During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, Tyco International, Covidien, and the Company settled five of the remaining opt-out cases for $199 million. Pursuant to the sharing formula, the Company's share of the settlement amounts was $62 million. As the Company had previously established reserves for these opt-out cases, the settlements did not impact its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

        During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, Tyco International, Covidien, and the Company agreed to settle for a total of $70 million, subject to the entry of a final order by the court approving the settlement, eight consolidated class actions brought under ERISA against Tyco International and

certain of its current and former employees, officers and directors, which are subject to the sharing formula in the Separation and Distribution Agreement. Pursuant to the sharing formula, the Company's share of the settlement amount is $22 million. As discussed above, the Company had previously established a reserve for this consolidated action.

        As previously reported in the Company's periodic filings, Tyco International and others received various subpoenas and requests from the SEC's Division of Enforcement, the U.S. Department of Labor, the General Services Administration, and others seeking the production of documents in connection with various investigations into Tyco International's governance, management, operations, accounting, and related controls prior to the Separation. The Department of Labor is investigating Tyco International and the administrators of certain of its benefit plans. Tyco International has advised the Company that it cannot predict when these investigations will be completed, nor can it predict what the results of these investigations may be. It is possible that Tyco International will be required to pay material fines or suffer other penalties, and pursuant to the liability sharing provisions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, a portion of such payments may be allocated to the Company. It is not possible to estimate the amount of loss, or range of possible loss, if any, that might result from an adverse resolution of these matters. As a result, the Company's share of such potential losses also is not estimable and may have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

        As previously reported in the Company's periodic filings, Tyco International received and has responded to various allegations that certain improper payments were made by Tyco International subsidiaries, including Tyco Electronics subsidiaries, in recent years prior to the Separation. Tyco International reported to the U.S. Department of Justice and the SEC the investigative steps and remedial measures that it had taken in response to the allegations, including that it retained outside counsel to perform a company-wide baseline review of its policies, controls, and practices with respect to compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"), and that it would continue to investigate and make periodic progress reports to these agencies. To date, the Company's baseline review has revealed that some of the Company's former business practices may not comply with FCPA requirements. At this time, the Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters and other allegations reported to regulatory and law enforcement authorities and therefore cannot estimate the range of potential loss or extent of risk, if any, that may result from an adverse resolution of these matters. However, it is possible that the Company may be required to pay judgments, suffer penalties, or incur settlements in amounts that may have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. Any judgment, settlement, or other cost incurred by Tyco International in connection with these matters not specifically allocated to Tyco International, Covidien, or the Company would be subject to the liability sharing provisions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

Income Taxes

        In prior years, in connection with Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") audits of various fiscal years, Tyco International submitted to the IRS proposed adjustments to prior period U.S. federal income tax returns resulting in a reduction in the taxable income previously filed. The IRS accepted substantially all of the proposed adjustments for fiscal years 1997 through 2000 for which the IRS had completed its field work. On the basis of previously accepted amendments, the Company has determined that acceptance of adjustments presented for additional periods through fiscal 2005 is probable and, accordingly, has recorded them, as well as the impacts of the adjustments accepted by the IRS, on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

        During fiscal 2007, the IRS concluded its field examination of certain of Tyco International's U.S. federal income tax returns for the fiscal years 1997 through 2000 and issued anticipated Revenue Agent Reports which reflect the IRS' determination of proposed tax adjustments for the periods under audit. Tyco International has agreed with the IRS on adjustments totaling $498 million. It is the Company's understanding that Tyco International has appealed other proposed adjustments totaling approximately $1 billion and is vigorously defending its prior filed tax return positions. Additionally, the IRS proposed civil fraud penalties against Tyco International arising from alleged actions of former executives in connection with certain intercompany transfers of stock in 1998 and 1999. Any penalty imposed would be subject to sharing with Tyco International and Covidien under the Tax Sharing Agreement. It is the Company's understanding that Tyco International is vigorously opposing the assertion of any such penalties. The Company continues to believe that the amounts recorded on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relating to these matters are appropriate; however, the ultimate resolution is uncertain and, should Tyco International lose its appeal, it could result in a material impact to the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

        Tyco International continues to complete proposed adjustments to the remainder of its U.S. federal income tax returns. In fiscal 2008, certain proposed adjustments to U.S. federal income tax returns were completed by Tyco International and presented to the IRS. In connection with the amendment process, during the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company recorded the tax impacts of certain proposed adjustments to previously filed tax returns that resulted in a $31 million increase in income tax liabilities, a $5 million increase in deferred tax assets, an $18 million increase in the receivable from Tyco International and Covidien recorded in connection with the Tax Sharing Agreement, and an $8 million decrease in contributed surplus. In addition, in fiscal 2008, Tyco International, Covidien, and the Company completed and filed certain fiscal 2007 U.S. consolidated federal and state income tax returns which included a combination of Tyco International, Covidien, and the Company's subsidiaries. As the Company's tax return positions continue to be updated, additional adjustments may be identified and recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. While the final adjustments cannot be determined until the income tax return amendment process is completed, the Company believes that any resulting adjustments will not have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. Additionally, adjustments may be recorded to shareholders' equity in the future for the impact of filing final or amended income tax returns in certain jurisdictions where those returns include a combination of Tyco International, Covidien, and/or the Company's subsidiaries for the periods prior to the Separation.

Environmental Matters

        The Company is involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to environmental remediation matters at a number of sites. The ultimate cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations, and alternative cleanup methods. As of June 26, 2009, the Company concluded that it was probable that it would incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $12 million to $25 million. As of June 26, 2009, the Company concluded that the best estimate within this range is approximately $16 million, of which $4 million is included in accrued and other current liabilities and $12 million is included in other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In view of the Company's financial position and reserves for environmental matters of $16 million, the Company believes that any potential payment of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Matters Related to the Company's Former Wireless Systems Business

        Certain liabilities and contingencies related to the Company's Wireless Systems business were retained by the Company when this business was sold in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. These include certain retained liabilities related to the State of New York contract and a contingent purchase price commitment related to the acquisition of Com-Net by the Wireless Systems business in 2001. See additional information below. Also, see Note 4 for additional information regarding the divestiture of the Wireless Systems business.

        On September 19, 2005, the Company was awarded a twenty-year lease contract with the State of New York to construct, operate, and maintain a statewide wireless communications network for use by state and municipal first responders. On August 29, 2008, the Company was served by the State with a default notice related to the first regional network, pursuant to the contract. Under the terms of the contract, the Company had 45 days to rectify the purported deficiencies noted by the State. On October 16, 2008, the Company informed the State that all technical deficiencies had been remediated and the system was operating in accordance with the contract specifications and certified the system ready for testing. The State conducted further testing during November and December 2008. On January 15, 2009, the State notified the Company that, in the State's opinion, the Company had not fully remediated the issues cited by the State and it had determined that the Company was in default of the contract and that it had exercised its right to terminate the contract. The State contends that it has the right under the contract to recoup costs incurred by the State in conjunction with the implementation of the network, and as a result of this contention, on January 16, 2009, the State drew down $50 million against an irrevocable standby letter of credit funded by the Company. The State has the ability to draw up to an additional $50 million against the standby letter of credit, although the Company disputes that the State has any basis to do so.

        On February 13, 2009, the Company filed a claim in the New York Court of Claims, seeking over $100 million in damages, and alleging a number of causes of action, including breach of contract, unjust enrichment, defamation, conversion, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, the imposition of a constructive trust, and seeking a declaration that the State terminated the contract "for

convenience." On April 8, 2009, the State filed a motion to dismiss all but the breach of contract claim, thereby automatically staying all discovery in the litigation. On April 27, 2009, the Company filed a motion to lift the automatic stay on discovery, and on May 14, 2009, the Company filed a brief in opposition to the State's motion to dismiss. The return date for both of these motions was set at May 20, 2009. Both motions are currently under consideration with the court.

        As a result of these actions, in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company recorded pre-tax charges totaling $111 million associated with this contract. These charges are reflected in income (loss) from discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as a result of the Company's sale of the Wireless Systems business. See Note 4 for further discussion of discontinued operations and the sale of the Wireless Systems business. The charges included an impairment charge of $61 million to write-off all costs incurred in constructing the network as well as a charge equal to the amount drawn by the State against the standby letter of credit of $50 million. The assets related to the impairment charge were previously reflected primarily as inventory on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company has not recognized any revenue related to the lease contract.

        At June 26, 2009, the Company had a contingent purchase price commitment of $80 million related to its fiscal 2001 acquisition of Com-Net. This represents the maximum amount payable to the former shareholders of Com-Net only after the construction and installation of a communications system for the State of Florida is finished and the State of Florida has approved the system based on the guidelines set forth in the contract. Under the terms of the purchase and sale agreement, the Company does not believe it has any obligation to the sellers. However, the sellers have contested the Company's position and initiated a lawsuit in June 2006 in the Court of Common Pleas in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, which is in the motion pleading and discovery phase. A liability for this contingency has not been recorded on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as the Company does not believe that any payment is probable or estimable at this time.

13.    Fair Value Measurements

        The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," as of September 27, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.

        In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157," which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) for one year. The Company will adopt the non-financial asset and liability fair value disclosures in fiscal 2010. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

        SFAS No. 157 specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of the inputs utilized in the valuation. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources,

while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. In accordance with SFAS No. 157, fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:

        The adoption of SFAS No. 157 had no effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

        Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value were as follows:

        The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the respective assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

        The majority of derivatives entered into by the Company are valued using the over-the-counter quoted market prices for similar instruments. The Company does not believe that fair values of these

derivative instruments materially differ from the amounts that could be realized upon settlement or maturity.

14.    Income Taxes

        The Company recorded a tax provision of $3 million, an effective income tax rate of 9.7%, for the quarter ended June 26, 2009 and recorded a tax provision of $191 million, an effective income tax rate of 40.0%, for the quarter ended June 27, 2008. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 26, 2009 reflects the tax benefits recognized in connection with fiscal 2009 profitability in certain entities operating in lower tax rate jurisdictions partially offset by accruals of interest and taxes related to uncertain tax positions. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 27, 2008 includes the effects of accruals related to the estimated tax impacts of certain intercompany dividends as well as accruals of interest and taxes related to uncertain tax positions.

        For the nine months ended June 26, 2009, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $577 million, an effective income tax rate of 15.4%, and for the nine months ended June 27, 2008 recorded a tax provision of $502 million, an effective income tax rate of 25.8%. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 26, 2009 was impacted by the $3,547 million pre-tax impairment of goodwill for which a tax benefit was not fully recognized, as well as a $144 million pre-tax charge related to pre-Separation securities litigation, for which no tax benefit was recorded. For the nine months ended June 27, 2008, the effective tax rate includes the impact of $572 million of pre-tax income recognized in connection with the adoption of FIN 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109," for which no tax was provided. In addition, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 27, 2008 includes the effects of accruals of interest and taxes related to uncertain tax positions.

        The Company records accrued interest as well as penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of the provision for income taxes. As of September 26, 2008, the Company had recorded $1,110 million of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $1,106 million was recorded in income taxes and $4 million was recorded in accrued and other current liabilities. During the quarter and nine months ended June 26, 2009, the Company recognized $38 million and $100 million, respectively, of interest and penalties on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 26, 2009, the balance of accrued interest and penalties was $1,219 million, of which $1,217 million was recorded in income taxes and $2 million was recorded in accrued and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

        In fiscal 2007, the IRS concluded its field examination of certain of Tyco International's U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 1997 through 2000. Tyco International is in the process of appealing certain tax adjustments proposed by the IRS related to this period. In the second quarter of fiscal 2008, the IRS commenced its field examination of certain Tyco International U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 2001 through 2004. Tyco International's U.S. federal tax filings for years subsequent to 2004 also remain open to examination by the IRS. See Note 12 for additional information regarding the status of IRS examinations.

        Although it is difficult to predict the timing or results of certain pending examinations, it is possible that Tyco International may reach agreement on certain matters within the next twelve months. The Company is not aware of any matters that would result in significant changes to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits reflected on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 26, 2009.

15.    Other Income

        In the quarters ended June 26, 2009 and June 27, 2008, the Company recorded net other income of $5 million and $1 million, respectively, primarily consisting of income pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco International and Covidien. In the nine months ended June 26, 2009, the Company recorded net other income of $7 million, primarily consisting of $9 million of income pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco International and Covidien offset by $2 million of unrealized losses on rabbi trust assets. In the nine months ended June 27, 2008, the Company recorded other income of $606 million, pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco International and Covidien, of which $572 million related to certain incremental tax liabilities recorded by the Company upon the initial adoption of FIN 48.

16.    Shareholders' Equity (Continued)

        As discussed in Note 1, effective June 25, 2009, the Company changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from Bermuda to Switzerland. In connection with the Change of Domicile and in accordance with the laws of Switzerland, the par value of the Company's common shares increased from $0.20 per share to 2.60 Swiss Francs ("CHF") per share (or $2.40 based on an exchange rate in effect on June 22, 2009). The Change of Domicile was approved at a special meeting of shareholders held on June 22, 2009. The following steps occurred in connection with the Change of Domicile, which did not result in a change to total Shareholders' Equity:

        In connection with the Change of Domicile, as discussed above, all authorized preferred shares were eliminated. At September 26, 2008, the Company had authorized 125,000,000 preferred shares, par value of $0.20, none of which were issued and outstanding.

        As a result of the adoption of the Company's new articles of association in connection with the Change of Domicile but prior to the distribution to shareholders discussed under "Distributions to Shareholders" below, the Company's ordinary share capital was $1,124 million with 468 million registered common shares and a par value of CHF 2.60 (or $2.40 based on an exchange rate in effect on June 22, 2009). Subject to certain conditions specified in the articles of association, the shareholders have authorized the Company's board of directors to increase the Company's share capital by issuing up to 234 million conditional shares and up to 234 million authorized shares (until June 22, 2011). Although the Company states its par value in Swiss Francs, it continues to use the U.S. Dollar as its reporting currency for preparing its Consolidated Financial Statements.

        Prior to the Change of Domicile, approximately 32 million shares held by the Company in treasury were cancelled, leaving 10 million shares held in treasury as of June 26, 2009. At September 26, 2008, there were 37 million shares held in treasury.

16.    Shareholders' Equity (Continued)

        As of September 26, 2008, the Company was incorporated under the laws of Bermuda. Prior to the Change of Domicile, in accordance with the Bermuda Companies Act, when the Company issued shares for cash at a premium to their par value, the resulting premium was an increase to a share premium account, a non-distributable reserve. Contributed surplus, subject to certain conditions, is a distributable reserve.

        Under current Swiss law, distributions to shareholders made in the form of a reduction of registered share capital are exempt from Swiss withholding tax. Beginning on January 1, 2011, subject to the adoption of implementing regulations and amendments to Swiss tax law, distributions to shareholders made out of contributed surplus will be exempt from Swiss withholding tax. Distributions or dividends on the Company's shares must be approved by the Company's shareholders.

        On June 22, 2009, the Company's shareholders approved a cash distribution to shareholders in the form of a capital reduction to the par value of the Company's common shares of CHF 0.17 per share, which will be paid to holders of record on the record date upon effectiveness of the capital reduction. The record date and the payment date are expected to occur in the quarter ending September 25, 2009. This capital reduction will reduce the par value of the Company's common shares from CHF 2.60 (equivalent to $2.40) to CHF 2.43 (equivalent to $2.24). The distribution will be paid in U.S. Dollars at a rate of $0.16 per share.

        Upon approval by the shareholders of the cash distribution, the Company recorded a liability of $75 million with a corresponding charge to common shares in the quarter ended June 26, 2009. Unpaid dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded in accrued and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 26, 2009 and September 26, 2008, respectively.

        During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company did not purchase any of its common shares under its share repurchase program. During the first nine months of fiscal 2009, the Company purchased approximately 6 million of its common shares for $125 million. Also, during the first nine months of fiscal 2009, the Company settled purchases of $27 million of its common shares which occurred prior to the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Since inception of the share repurchase program, which has a current authorization of $2,000 million, the Company has purchased approximately 43 million shares for $1,394 million.

        For the nine months ended June 26, 2009, non-vested restricted share awards and non-vested options to purchase Tyco Electronics' common shares with underlying exercise prices less than the average market prices were outstanding, but were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share, as inclusion of these securities would have been antidilutive. Such shares not included in the computation of diluted loss per share were 1 million for the nine months ended June 26, 2009.

        Certain share options were not included in the computation of diluted (loss) earnings per share because the instruments' underlying exercise prices were greater than the average market prices of Tyco Electronics' common shares and inclusion would be antidilutive. Such shares not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share were 21 million and 16 million as of June 26, 2009 and June 27, 2008, respectively.

21.    Subsequent Events

        On June 9, 2009, TEGSA commenced a tender offer to purchase up to $150 million principal amount of its 6.00% senior notes due 2012, up to $100 million principal amount of its 6.55% senior notes due 2017, and up to $100 million principal amount of its 7.125% senior notes due 2037. On July 7, 2009, the tender offer expired and on July 9, 2009, TEGSA purchased and cancelled $86 million principal amount of its 6.00% senior notes due 2012, $42 million principal amount of its 6.55% senior notes due 2017, and $23 million principal amount of its 7.125% senior notes due 2037 for an aggregate payment of $141 million, plus paid accrued interest through July 7, 2009 of $3 million to the sellers of the notes. As a result of the transaction, in the quarter ending September 25, 2009, the Company will record a pre-tax gain of approximately $22 million, including the write-off of unamortized discounts and fees of $1 million and the recognition of a gain of $12 million associated with terminated interest rate swaps previously designated as fair value hedges. Additionally, as a result of the re-purchase and cancellation, unamortized losses in accumulated other comprehensive income of $3 million related to terminated starting forward interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges will be recognized as interest expense.

        The Company has evaluated subsequent events through July 31, 2009, the date on which the financial statements were issued.

22.    Tyco Electronics Group S.A.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, as well as our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and the accompanying notes and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed June 5, 2009. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including but not limited to those under the heading "Forward-Looking Information" and "Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors."

        Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in United States dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

Change of Domicile

        Effective June 25, 2009, Tyco Electronics Ltd. ("Tyco Electronics" or the "Company", which may be referred to as "we," "us," or "our") discontinued its existence as a Bermuda company as provided in Section 132G of The Companies Act of 1981 of Bermuda, as amended, and, in accordance with article 161 of the Swiss Federal Code on International Private Law, continued its existence as a Swiss company under articles 620 et seq. of the Swiss Code of Obligations (the "Change of Domicile"). The rights of holders of our shares are now governed by Swiss law, our Swiss articles of association, and our Swiss organizational regulations.

The Separation

        Effective June 29, 2007, we became the parent company of the former electronics businesses of Tyco International Ltd. ("Tyco International"). On June 29, 2007, Tyco International distributed all of its shares of Tyco Electronics, as well as its shares of its former healthcare businesses ("Covidien"), to its common shareholders (the "Separation").

Overview

        We are a leading global provider of engineered electronic components, network solutions, specialty products, and undersea telecommunication systems. We design, manufacture, and market approximately 500,000 different products for customers in a broad array of industries including automotive; data communication systems and consumer electronics; telecommunications; aerospace, defense, and marine; medical; energy; and lighting. We believe the end markets that we sell into are balanced with the total end market demand for our products.

        We operate through four reporting segments: Electronic Components, Network Solutions, Specialty Products, and Undersea Telecommunications. See Note 20 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our segment reporting structure. We sold our Wireless Systems business in May 2009, and beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Wireless Systems business has been reclassified as discontinued operations. Prior to reclassification to held for sale and discontinued operations, this business was reported as our former Wireless Systems segment. Also, effective January 1, 2009, we established the Specialty Products Group from our existing businesses. Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the results of this new organization are reported as a separate reporting segment. This new segment is comprised of the Medical Products, Circuit Protection, Touch Systems, and Aerospace, Defense, and Marine businesses which were formerly reported in the Electronic Components segment. Prior period segment results have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
