As part of the merger agreement, JCI shareholders will receive a total of $3.864 billion in cash. The price per cash electing share, per form S-4, is $34.88. The example below assumes a total of 635,000,000 shares of Johnson Controls Inc. are outstanding at the time of the merger. Joe is an employee of Johnson Controls. Outside of his 401(k) plan contributions, Joe owns 100 shares in the company, which makes him a Johnson Controls shareholder. Joe is wondering what’ll happen to his shares when the merger closes. scenario 1: explanation of share transfer at Close of Tyco Merger Will Joe receive cash in the merger? How many shares does Joe have after the merger? Even though Joe chose to receive shares, he will receive some cash as a result of the other shareholders’ elections. Because no shareholder chose the cash consideration option, the entire $3.864 billion will be paid in equal amounts to all shareholders. Because Joe owns 100 shares, he will receive 100 x $6.085 = $608.50, which will be placed into his brokerage account. The receipt of this cash will be a taxable event. Joe will own 82.5 shares of the new Johnson Controls, which are held in his brokerage account. The .5 is a fractional share, which will be cashed out. Joe will receive an additional cash amount at the market price for this fractional share, deposited into his brokerage account. The receipt of these shares and cash from the fractional share is a taxable event. If each share trades at $40.00 on the day after the merger, then Joe’s shares are valued at $3280 on that day. Joe will own a total of 82 shares in the new Johnson Controls after the close of the merger. 100% of JCI shareholders elect to receive shares in the new JCI 100 x ($34.88 – $6.085) $34.88 = 82.5 shares (price per cash electing share) (cash consideration for Joe’s shares) (Joe’s original shares) + $3.864B 635,000,000 = $6.085 (total cash paid to JCI shareholders) (total number of shares outstanding) KEY ACTIONS: Shareholder Mailing: Special Meeting Proxy Statement Shareholder Mailing: Election Offer Documentation Shareholder Special Meeting Election Offer Period Closes October 1, 2016 Projected Merger Close Date Shares of new Johnson Controls Distributed For each of his 100 shares, Joe has the right to receive either (A) one share in the new Johnson Controls or (B) $34.88 in cash, without interest. Joe chooses to receive shares in the new Johnson Controls for all of his 100 shares. DISCLAIMER: The description of Johnson Controls employees and the examples are illustrative only and are not intended to bear any likeness to actual JCI employees. The value of the share consideration that a Johnson Controls shareholder actually receives will be based on the actual closing price on the NYSE of the combined company’s shares, which will trade under the “TYC” ticker immediately before the merger and the “JCI” ticker immediately after the completion of the merger. This value may be outside the range of the amounts set forth in the example, and as a result, the actual value of the share consideration per share of Johnson Controls common stock may differ from the value shown in the example. Employees who are Johnson Controls shareholders are advised to consult their financial advisor to discuss whether to submit an election form, when they are available, as well as the contents of any such form. + + +

scenario 2: explanation of share transfer at Close of Tyco Merger Will Valeria receive cash in the merger? How many shares does Valeria have after the merger? Because 50% of all shareholders chose the cash consideration option, the cash election amount exceeds the total cash available of $3.864 billion. Those shareholders electing shares will receive only the share consideration they selected. Valeria will not receive any cash payout from the $3.864 billion total cash consideration because she chose to receive shares and enough other shareholders chose to receive cash. Since she will not receive any cash consideration, Valeria will own a total of 100 shares in the new Johnson Controls after the close of the merger. The receipt of these shares is a taxable event. If each share trades at $40.00 on the day after the merger, then Valeria’s shares are valued at $4000. 50% x 635,000,000 x $34.88 > $3.864B (price per cash electing share) (total number of shares outstanding) Valeria is an employee of Johnson Controls. Outside of her 401(k) plan contributions, Valeria owns 100 shares in the company, which makes her a Johnson Controls shareholder. Valeria is wondering what’ll happen to her shares when the merger closes. 50% of JCI shareholders elect to receive shares in the new JCI and 50% elect to receive cash For each of her 100 shares, Valeria has the right to receive either (A) one share in the new Johnson Controls or (B) $34.88 in cash, without interest. Valeria chooses to receive shares in the new Johnson Controls for all 100 of her shares. As part of the merger agreement, JCI shareholders will receive a total of $3.864 billion in cash. The price per cash electing share, per form S-4, is $34.88. The example below assumes a total of 635,000,000 shares of Johnson Controls, Inc. are outstanding at the time of the merger.

Because 50% of all shareholders chose the cash consideration option, the cash election amount exceeds the total cash available of $3.864 billion. Those electing a cash consideration will receive an equal amount of the $3.864 billion available. Because Frank owns 100 shares, he will receive 100 x $12.17 = $1,217.00, which will be placed into his brokerage account. The receipt of this cash is a taxable event. Because the cash election amount exceeded the total cash available, and Frank’s payout was less than $34.88 per share, he is also entitled to receive shares in the new JCI. Frank will own 65.1 shares of the new Johnson Controls, which are held in his brokerage account. The .1 is a fractional share, which will be cashed out. Frank will receive an additional cash amount at the market price for this fractional share, deposited into his brokerage account. The receipt of these shares and cash from the fractional share is a taxable event. If each share trades at $40.00 on the day after the merger, then Frank’s shares are valued at $3280 on that day.
