History and Development
Tyco International Ltd.
Tyco International Ltd. is a Company organized under the laws of Switzerland. The Company was created as a result of the July 1997 acquisition of Tyco International Ltd., a Massachusetts corporation, by ADT Limited, a public company organized under the laws of Bermuda, at which time ADT Limited changed its name to Tyco International Ltd. Effective March 17, 2009, the Company became a Swiss corporation under articles 620 et seq. of the Swiss Code of Obligations (the "Change of Domicile").

Effective June 29, 2007, the Company completed the spin-offs of Covidien and TE Connectivity, formerly our Healthcare and Electronics businesses, respectively, into separate, publicly traded companies (the "2007 Separation") in the form of a tax-free distribution to Tyco shareholders.
Effective September 28, 2012, the Company completed the spin-offs of The ADT Corporation ("ADT") and Pentair Ltd. (formerly known as Tyco Flow Control International Ltd. ("Tyco Flow Control")), formerly our North American residential security and flow control businesses, respectively, into separate, publicly traded companies in the form of a distribution to Tyco shareholders. Immediately following the spin-off, Pentair, Inc. was merged with a subsidiary of Tyco Flow Control in a tax-free, all-stock merger (the "Merger"), with Pentair Ltd. ("Pentair") succeeding Pentair Inc. as an independent publicly traded company. The distributions, the Merger and related transactions are collectively referred to herein as the "2012 Separation". As a result of the distribution, the operations of Tyco's former flow control and North American residential security businesses are now classified as discontinued operations in all periods presented.
Tyco's registered and principal office is located at Victor von Bruns-Strasse 21, CH-8212 Neuhausen am Rheinfall, Switzerland. Its management office in the United States is located at 9 Roszel Road, Princeton, New Jersey 08540.
Segments
Each of our three segments serves a highly diverse customer base and none is dependent upon a single customer or group of customers. For fiscal year 2013 , no customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenues, and approximately 50% of our revenues were derived from customers outside of North America.
Our end-use customers, to whom we may sell directly or through wholesalers, distributors, commercial builders or contractors, can generally be grouped in the following categories:
•
Commercial customers, including residential and commercial property developers, financial institutions, food service businesses and commercial enterprises;
•
Industrial customers, including companies in the oil and gas, power generation, mining, petrochemical and other industries;
•
Retail customers, including international, regional and local consumer outlets;
•
Institutional customers, including a broad range of healthcare facilities, academic institutions, museums and foundations;
•
Governmental customers, including federal, state and local governments, defense installations, mass transportation networks, public utilities and other government-affiliated entities and applications; and
•
Residential and small business customers outside of North America, including owners of single-family homes and local providers of a wide range of goods and services.
As discussed under "Competition" below, the markets in which we compete are generally highly fragmented. We therefore compete with many other businesses in markets throughout the world, including other large global businesses, significant regional businesses and many smaller local businesses.
Installation & Services
NA Installation & Services and ROW Installation & Services (collectively, "Installation & Services") designs, sells, installs, services and monitors electronic security and fire detection and suppression systems for retail, commercial, industrial, governmental and institutional customers around the world. Additionally, ROW Installation & Services designs, sells, installs, services and monitors security systems for residential and small business customers under the ADT brand name outside of North America.
Security Services
Our Installation & Services segments design, sell, install and service security systems to detect intrusion, control access and react to movement, fire, smoke, flooding, environmental conditions, industrial processes and other hazards. These electronic security systems include detection devices that are usually connected to a monitoring center that receives and records alarm signals where security monitoring specialists verify alarm conditions and initiate a range of response scenarios. For most systems, control panels identify the nature of the alarm and the areas where a sensor was triggered. Our other security solutions include access control systems for sensitive areas such as government facilities and banks; video surveillance systems designed to deter theft and fraud and help protect employees and customers; and asset protection and security management systems designed to monitor and protect physical assets as well as proprietary electronic data. Our offerings also include anti-theft systems utilizing acousto-magnetic and radio frequency identification tags and labels in the retail industry as well as store performance solutions to enhance retailer performance. Many of the world's leading retailers use our Sensormatic anti-theft systems to help protect against shoplifting and employee theft. Many of the products that we install for our Installation &

Table of Contents

Services security customers are designed and manufactured by our Global Products segment. Additionally, our deep experience in designing, integrating, deploying and maintaining large-scale security systems—including, for example, centrally managed security systems that span large commercial and institutional campuses—allows us to install and/or service products manufactured by third parties.
Purchasers of our intrusion systems typically contract for ongoing security system monitoring and maintenance at the time of initial equipment installation. These contracts are generally for a term of one to three years. Systems installed at customers' premises may be owned by us or by our customers. Monitoring center personnel may respond to alarms by relaying appropriate information to local fire or police departments, notifying the customer or taking other appropriate action. In certain markets, we directly provide the alarm response services with highly trained and professionally equipped employees. In some instances, alarm systems are connected directly to local fire or police departments.
In addition, our ROW Installation & Services segment is a leading provider of monitored residential and small business security systems. In addition to traditional burglar alarm and fire detection systems, installation and monitoring services, ROW Installation & Services provides patrol and response services in select geographies, including South Africa and South Korea. Our ROW Installation & Services segment continues to expand its offering of value-added residential services worldwide, such as an interactive services platform. The interactive services platform allows for remote management of the home security system, as well as lifestyle applications, which currently include remote video, lighting control, and energy management.
Our customers are often prompted to purchase security systems by their insurance carriers, which may offer lower insurance premium rates if a security system is installed or require that a system be installed as a condition of coverage.
Fire Protection Services
Our Installation & Services segments design, sell, install and service fire detection and fire suppression systems in both new and existing facilities. Commercial construction as well as legislation mandating the installation and service of fire detection and suppression systems are significant drivers of demand for our products. Our Installation & Services segments offer a wide range of fire detection and suppression systems, including those designed and manufactured by our Global Products segment and those designed by third parties. These detection systems include fire alarm control panels, advanced fire alarm monitoring systems, smoke and flame detection systems, heat and carbon monoxide detectors and voice evacuation systems. Our Installation & Services segments also offer a wide range of standard water-based sprinkler and chemical suppression systems and custom designed special hazard suppression systems, which incorporate specialized extinguishing agents such as foams, dry chemicals and gases in addition to spill control products designed to absorb, neutralize and solidify spills of hazardous materials. These systems are often especially suited to fire suppression in industrial and commercial applications, including oil and gas, power generation, mining, petrochemical, manufacturing, transportation, data processing, telecommunications, commercial food preparation and marine applications. Our Installation & Services segments continue to focus on system maintenance and inspection, which have become increasingly important parts of our business.
Customers
Our Installation & Services customers range from Fortune 500 companies with diverse worldwide operations who look to us to provide integrated, global solutions for their fire and security needs, to single location commercial customers and individual homeowners. Our Installation & Services customer relationships generally are in the market for new construction or retrofit projects, which represented 44% of Installation & Services fiscal 2013 net revenue, and the market for aftermarket products and services, which accounted for the remaining 56% of Installation & Services fiscal 2013 net revenue. New construction projects are inherently long-lead in nature and we strive to become involved in the planning process for these projects as early as possible. We believe that by actively participating in the preliminary design stages of a new construction project and by offering our design services that combine our global expertise and knowledge of local codes and standards, we can increase our value to customers relative to many smaller local and regional competitors. With respect to fire detection and suppression installations, we prefer to become involved at the time an architectural or engineering design firm is selected. With respect to security system design and installation, we generally become involved in the later stages of a construction project or as tenants take occupancy.
Our relationships with customers in the aftermarket may include any combination of alarm monitoring, fire and security maintenance and or testing and inspection services. We also provide aftermarket services to many customers whose fire and security systems were manufactured or installed by third parties.
Global Products
Our Global Products segment designs, manufactures and sells fire protection, security and life safety products, including intrusion security, anti-theft devices, breathing apparatus, and access control and video management systems.

Fire Protection Products
Fire Protection Products designs, manufactures, distributes and sells fire alarm and fire detection systems, automatic fire sprinkler systems and special hazard suppression systems, including many of the fire protection products that our Installation & Services segments install and service. Fire Protection Products also manufactures and sells grooved products for the rapid joining of piping in both the fire and non-fire markets. Fire Protection Products are marketed under various leading trade names, including Simplex, Wormald, Ansul, Grinnell and Tyco and include fire alarm control panels, advanced fire alarm monitoring systems, smoke, heat and carbon monoxide detectors and voice evacuation systems. Fire Protection Products also offers a wide range of water-based sprinkler systems and custom designed special hazard suppression systems, which incorporate specialized extinguishing agents such as foams, dry chemicals and gases. These systems are often especially suited to fire suppression in industrial and commercial applications, including oil and gas, power generation, mining, petrochemical, manufacturing, transportation, data processing, telecommunications, commercial food preparation and marine applications.
Fire Protection Products' systems often are purchased by facility owners through construction engineers and electrical contractors, as well as mechanical or general contractors. In recent years, retrofitting of existing buildings has increased as a result of legislation mandating the installation of fire detection and fire suppression systems, especially in hotels, restaurants, healthcare facilities and educational establishments. The 2009 edition of the International Residential Code, developed by the International Code Council, a non-profit association that develops model codes that are the predominant building and fire safety regulations followed by state and local jurisdictions in the United States, adopted a proposal advanced by firefighters and other life-safety advocates that requires sprinkler systems in new one and two-family homes and townhouses as of January 2011. This national code is not binding on state and local jurisdictions and must be adopted locally before it becomes mandatory for new homes being built in these areas. The timing and extent of adoption, if at all, will vary by jurisdiction. However, we believe that this development may offer opportunities to expand our residential fire suppression business in the United States.
Security Products
Security Products designs and manufactures a wide array of electronic security products, including integrated video surveillance and access control systems to enable businesses to manage their security and enhance business performance. Our global access control solutions include integrated security management systems for enterprise applications, access control solutions applications, alarm management panels, door controllers, readers, keypads and cards. Our global video system solutions include digital video management systems, matrix switchers and controllers, digital multiplexers, programmable cameras, monitors and liquid crystal interactive displays. Our security products for homes and businesses range from basic burglar alarms to comprehensive interactive security systems including alarm control panels, keypads, sensors and central station receiving equipment used in security monitoring centers. Our offerings also include anti-theft systems utilizing acousto magnetic and radio frequency identification tags and labels in the retail industry. Our security products are marketed under various leading trade names, including Software House, DSC, American Dynamics, Sensormatic, Visonic and Exacq . Many of the world's leading retailers use our Sensormatic anti-theft systems to help protect against shoplifting and employee theft. Security Products manufactures many of the security products that our Installation & Services business installs and services.
Life Safety Products
Life Safety Products manufactures life safety products, including self-contained breathing apparatus designed for firefighter, industrial and military use, supplied air respirators, air-purifying respirators, thermal imaging cameras, gas detection equipment, gas masks and personal protection equipment. The Life Safety Products business operates under various leading trade names, including Scott Safety and Protector . Our breathing apparatus are used by the military forces of several countries and many U.S. firefighters rely on the Scott Air-Pak brand of self-contained breathing apparatus.
Customers
Global Products sells products through our Installation & Service segments and indirect distribution channels around the world. Some of Global Products' channel business partners act as dealers selling to smaller fire and security contractors that install fire detection and suppression, security and theft protection systems, whereas others act as integrators that install the products themselves. Builders, contractors and developers are customers for our sprinkler products. End customers for our breathing apparatus and related products include fire departments, municipal and state governments and military forces as well as major companies in the industrial sector.
Competition
The markets that we serve are generally highly competitive and fragmented with a small number of large, global firms and thousands of smaller regional and local companies. Competition is based on price, specialized product capacity, breadth of product line, training, support and delivery, with the relative importance of these factors varying depending on the project

Table of Contents

complexity, product line, the local market and other factors. Rather than compete primarily on price, we emphasize the quality of our products and services, the reputation of our brands and our knowledge of customers' fire and security needs. Among large industrial, commercial, governmental and institutional customers, we believe that our comprehensive global coverage and product and service offerings provide a competitive advantage. We also believe that our systems integration capabilities, which allow us to offer global solutions to customers that fully integrate our security and/or fire offerings into existing information technology networks, business operations and management tools, and process automation and control systems, set us apart from all but a small number of other large, global competitors.
Competitive dynamics in the fire and security industry generally result in more direct competition and lower margins for installation projects compared to aftermarket products and services. We generally face the greatest competitive pricing pressure for the installation of products that have become more commoditized over time, including standard commercial sprinkler systems and closed-circuit television systems.
Backlog
See Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for information relating to our backlog.
Intellectual Property
Patents, trademarks, copyrights and other proprietary rights are important to our business. We also rely upon trade secrets, manufacturing know-how, continuing technological innovations and licensing opportunities to maintain and improve our competitive position. We review third-party proprietary rights, including trademarks, patents and patent applications, in an effort to develop an effective intellectual property strategy, avoid infringement of third-party proprietary rights, identify licensing opportunities and misappropriation of our proprietary rights, and monitor the intellectual property claims of others.
We own a portfolio of patents that principally relates to: electronic security products and systems for intrusion detection, access control, electronic identification tags & video surveillance; fire protection products and systems, including fire detection and fire suppression with chemical, gas, foam and water agents; personal protective products and systems for fire and other hazards. We also own a portfolio of trademarks and are a licensee of various patents and trademarks. Patents for individual products extend for varying periods according to the date of patent filing or grant and the legal term of patents in the various countries where patent protection is obtained. Trademark rights may potentially extend for longer periods of time and are dependent upon national laws and use of the marks.
While we consider our patents to be valuable assets that help prevent or delay the commoditization of our products and thus extend their life cycles, we do not believe that our overall operations are dependent upon any single patent or group of related patents. We share the ADT® trademark with ADT and operate under a brand governance agreement between the two companies.
Research and Development
We are engaged in research and development in an effort to introduce new products, to enhance the effectiveness, ease of use, safety and reliability of our existing products and to expand the applications for which the uses of our products are appropriate. For example, in order to position ourselves to participate in and lead the development of residential interactive platforms, enterprise-wide integrated access control platforms and transition IP video platforms, we have made significant investments in our security products portfolio. In addition, we continually evaluate developing technologies in areas that we believe will enhance our business for possible investment. Our research and development expense was $ 174 million in 2013 , $145 million in 2012 and $129 million in 2011 related to new product development.
Raw and Other Purchased Materials
We are a large buyer of metals and other commodities, including fuel for our vehicle fleet. We purchase materials from a large number of independent sources around the world and have experienced no shortages that have had a material adverse effect on our businesses. We enter into long-term supply contracts, using fixed or variable pricing to manage our exposure to potential supply disruptions. Significant changes in certain raw material, including steel, brass and certain flurochemicals used in our fire suppression agents, may have an adverse impact on costs and operating margins.
Governmental Regulation and Supervision
Our operations are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations, both within and outside the United States, in areas such as: consumer protection, government contracts, international trade, environmental protection, labor and employment, tax, licensing and others. For example, most U.S. states and non-U.S. jurisdictions in which we operate have licensing laws directed specifically toward the alarm and fire suppression industries. Our security businesses currently rely

7
Table of Contents

extensively upon the use of wireline and wireless telephone service to communicate signals. Wireline and wireless telephone companies in the United States are regulated by the federal and state governments. In addition, government regulation of fire safety codes can impact our fire businesses. These and other laws and regulations impact the manner in which we conduct our business, and changes in legislation or government policies can affect our worldwide operations, both favorably and unfavorably. For a more detailed description of the various laws and regulations that affect our business, see Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Legal, Regulatory and Compliance Matters and Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
Environmental Matters
We are subject to numerous foreign, federal, state and local environmental protection and health and safety laws governing, among other things, the generation, storage, use and transportation of hazardous materials; emissions or discharges of substances into the environment; and the health and safety of our employees.
Certain environmental laws assess liability on current or previous owners or operators of real property for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous substances at their properties or at properties at which they have disposed of hazardous substances. In addition to cleanup actions brought by governmental authorities, private parties could bring personal injury or other claims due to the presence of, or exposure to, hazardous substances or pursuant to indemnifications provided by us in connection with asset disposals. We have received notification from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and from state environmental agencies that conditions at a number of sites where we and others disposed of hazardous substances require cleanup and other possible remedial action and may require that we reimburse the government or otherwise pay for the cost of cleanup of those sites and/or for natural resource damages. We have projects underway at a number of current and former manufacturing facilities to investigate and remediate environmental contamination resulting from past operations by us or by other businesses that previously owned or used the properties.
Given uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and alternative cleanup methods, the ultimate cost of cleanup at disposal sites and manufacturing facilities is difficult to predict. Based upon our experience, current information regarding known contingencies and applicable laws, we concluded that it is probable that we would incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $74 million to $162 million as of September 27, 2013 . As of September 27, 2013 , we concluded that the best estimate within this range is approximately $105 million , of which $82 million is included in Accrued and other current liabilities and Accounts payable and $23 million is included in Other liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. The majority of these liabilities relate to the ongoing remediation efforts at a facility in our Global Products segment located in Marinette, Wisconsin. In view of our financial position and reserves for environmental matters, we believe that any potential payment of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. For a more detailed description of these liabilities, see Item 3. Legal Proceedings and Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Employees
As of September 27, 2013 , we employed approximately 70,000 people worldwide, of which approximately 20,000 were employed in the United States and approximately 50,000 were outside the United States. Approximately 7,000 employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements or works councils and we believe that our relations with the labor unions are generally good.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors
         You should carefully consider the risks described below before investing in our publicly traded securities. The risks described below are not the only ones facing us. Our business is also subject to the risks that affect many other companies, such as technological obsolescence, labor relations, geopolitical events, climate change and international operations.
Risks Relating to Our Businesses
General economic and cyclical industry conditions may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Our operating results have been and may in the future be adversely affected by general economic conditions and the cyclical pattern of certain markets that we serve. For example, demand for our services and products is significantly affected by the level of commercial and residential construction, industrial capital expenditures for facility expansions and maintenance and the amount of discretionary business and consumer spending, each of which historically has displayed significant cyclicality. Even if demand for our products is not negatively affected, the liquidity and financial position of our customers could impact their ability to pay in full and/or on a timely basis.
Much of the demand for installation of security products and fire detection and suppression solutions is driven by commercial and residential construction and industrial facility expansion and maintenance projects. Commercial and residential construction projects are heavily dependent on general economic conditions, localized demand for commercial and residential real estate and availability of credit. In recent years, many commercial and residential real estate markets have experienced significant fluctuations in supply and demand, and this volatility may continue indefinitely. In addition, most commercial and residential real estate developers rely heavily on project financing from banks and other institutional lenders in order to initiate and complete projects. Declines in real estate values in many parts of the world have led to significant reductions in the availability of project financing, even in markets where demand may otherwise be sufficient to support new construction. These factors have in turn hampered demand for new fire detection and suppression and security installations.
Levels of industrial capital expenditures for facility expansions and maintenance turn on general economic conditions, economic conditions within specific industries we serve, expectations of future market behavior and available financing. Additionally, volatility in commodity prices can negatively affect the level of these activities and can result in postponement of capital spending decisions or the delay or cancellation of existing orders.
The businesses of many of our industrial customers, particularly oil and gas companies, chemical and petrochemical companies and general industrial companies, are to varying degrees cyclical and have experienced periodic downturns. During such economic downturns, customers in these industries historically have tended to delay major capital projects, including greenfield construction, expensive maintenance projects and upgrades. Additionally, demand for our products and services may be affected by volatility in energy and commodity prices and fluctuating demand forecasts, as our customers may be more conservative in their capital planning, which may reduce demand for our products and services. Although our industrial customers tend to be less dependent on project financing than real estate developers, disruptions in financial markets and banking systems, could make credit and capital markets difficult for our customers to access, and could raise the cost of new debt for our customers to prohibitive levels. Any difficulty in accessing these markets and the increased associated costs can have a negative effect on investment in large capital projects, including necessary maintenance and upgrades, even during periods of favorable end-market conditions.
Many of our customers outside of the industrial and commercial sectors, including governmental and institutional customers, have experienced budgetary constraints as sources of revenue, including tax receipts, general obligation and construction bonds, endowments and donations, have been negatively impacted by adverse economic conditions. These budgetary constraints have in the past and may in the future reduce demand for our products and services among governmental and institutional customers.
Reduced demand for our products and services could result in the delay or cancellation of existing orders or lead to excess capacity, which unfavorably impacts our absorption of fixed costs. This reduced demand may also erode average selling prices in the industries we serve. Any of these results could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We face competition in each of our businesses, which results in pressure on our profit margins and limits our ability to maintain or increase the market share of our products and services. If we cannot successfully compete in an increasingly global market-place, our operating results may be adversely affected.
We operate in competitive domestic and international markets and compete with many highly competitive manufacturers and service providers, both domestically and on a global basis. Our manufacturing businesses face competition from lower cost manufacturers in Asia and elsewhere and our service businesses face competition from alternative service providers around the world. Currently, key components of our competitive position are our ability to bring to market industry-leading products and services, to adapt to changing competitive environments and to manage expenses successfully. These factors require continuous management focus on maintaining our competitive position through technological innovation, cost reduction, productivity improvement and a regular appraisal of our asset portfolio. If we are unable to maintain our position as a market leader, or to achieve appropriate levels of scalability or cost-effectiveness, or if we are otherwise unable to manage and react to changes in the global marketplace, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
Our future growth is largely dependent upon our ability to continue to adapt our products, services and organization to meet the demands of local markets in both developed and emerging economies and by developing or acquiring new technologies that achieve market acceptance with acceptable margins.
Our businesses operate in global markets that are characterized by evolving industry standards. Although many of our largest competitors are also global industrial companies, we compete with thousands of smaller regional and local companies that may be positioned to offer products and services at lower cost than ours, particularly in emerging markets, or to capitalize on highly localized relationships and knowledge that are difficult for us to replicate. We have found that in several emerging markets potential customers prefer local suppliers, in some cases because of existing relationships and in other cases because of local legal restrictions or incentives that favor local businesses.
Accordingly, our future success depends upon a number of factors, including our ability to: adapt our products, services, organization, workforce and sales strategies to fit localities throughout the world, particularly in high growth emerging markets; identify emerging technological and other trends in our target end-markets; and develop or acquire, manufacture and bring competitive products and services to market quickly and cost-effectively. Adapting our businesses to serve more local markets will require us to invest considerable resources in building our distribution channels and engineering and manufacturing capabilities in those markets to ensure that we can address customer demand. Even when we invest in growing our business in local markets, we may not be successful for any number of reasons, including competitive pressure from regional and local businesses that may have superior local capabilities or products that are produced more locally at lower cost. Our ability to develop or acquire new products and services can affect our competitive position and requires the investment of significant resources. These acquisitions and development efforts divert resources from other potential investments in our businesses, and they may not lead to the development of new technologies, products or services on a timely basis. Moreover, as we introduce new products, we may be unable to detect and correct defects in the design of a product or in its application to a specified use, which could result in loss of sales or delays in market acceptance. Even after introduction, new or enhanced products may not satisfy consumer preferences and product failures may cause consumers to reject our products. As a result, these products may not achieve market acceptance and our brand images could suffer. In addition, the markets for our products and services may not develop or grow as we anticipate. As a result, the failure to effectively adapt our products and services to the needs of local markets, the failure of our technology, products or services to gain market acceptance, the potential for product defects or the obsolescence of our products and services could significantly reduce our revenues, increase our operating costs or otherwise materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We are exposed to greater risks of liability for employee acts or omissions, or system failure, than may be inherent in other businesses.
If a customer or third party believes that he or she has suffered harm to person or property due to an actual or alleged act or omission of one of our employees or a security or fire system failure, he or she may pursue legal action against us, and the cost of defending the legal action and of any judgment could be substantial. In particular, because our products and services are intended to protect lives and real and personal property, we may have greater exposure to litigation risks than businesses that provide other products and services. We could face liability for failure to respond adequately to alarm activations or failure of our fire protection systems to operate as expected. The nature of the services we provide exposes us to the risks that we may be held liable for employee acts or omissions or system failures. In an attempt to reduce this risk, our installation, service and monitoring agreements and other contracts contain provisions limiting our liability in such circumstances, and we typically maintain product liability insurance to mitigate the risk that our products and services fail to operate as expected. However, in the event of litigation with respect to such matters, it is possible that contract limitations may be deemed not applicable or unenforceable, that our insurance coverage is not adequate, or that insurance carriers deny coverage of our claims. As a result,

such employee acts or omissions or system failures could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We face risks relating to doing business internationally that could adversely affect our business.
Our business operates and serves consumers worldwide. There are certain risks inherent in doing business internationally, including:
•
economic volatility and the impact of economic conditions in various regions;
•
the difficulty of enforcing agreements, collecting receivables and protecting assets, especially our intellectual property rights, through non-U.S. legal systems;
•
possibility of unfavorable circumstances from host country laws, regulations or licensing requirements;
•
fluctuations in revenues, operating margins and other financial measures due to currency exchange rate fluctuations and restrictions on currency and earnings repatriation;
•
trade protection measures, import or export restrictions, licensing requirements and local fire and security codes and standards;
•
increased costs and risks of developing, staffing and simultaneously managing a number of foreign operations as a result of distance as well as language and cultural differences;
•
issues related to occupational safety and adherence to local labor laws and regulations;
•
potentially adverse tax developments;
•
longer payment cycles;
•
changes in the general political, social and economic conditions in the countries where we operate, particularly in emerging markets;
•
the threat of nationalization and expropriation;
•
the presence of corruption in certain countries; and
•
fluctuations in available municipal funding in those instances where a project is government financed.
One or more of these factors could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
In order to manage our day-to-day operations, we must overcome cultural and language barriers and assimilate different business practices. In addition, we are required to create compensation programs, employment policies and other administrative programs that comply with laws of multiple countries. We also must communicate and monitor standards and directives across our global network. Our failure to successfully manage our geographically diverse operations could impair our ability to react quickly to changing business and market conditions and to enforce compliance with standards and procedures, any of which could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Volatility in currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
A significant portion of our revenue and certain of our costs, assets and liabilities, are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Certain of the foreign currencies to which we have exposure have undergone significant devaluation in the past, which can reduce the value of our local monetary assets, reduce the U.S. dollar value of our local cash flow and potentially reduce the U.S. dollar value of future local net income. Although we intend to enter into forward exchange contracts to economically hedge some of our risks associated with transactions denominated in certain foreign currencies, no assurances can be made that exchange rate fluctuations will not adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In addition, we are a large buyer of metals and other non-metal commodities, including fossil fuels for our manufacturing operations and our vehicle fleet, the prices of which have fluctuated significantly in recent years. Increases in the prices of some of these commodities could increase the costs of manufacturing our products and providing our services. We may not be able to pass on these costs to our customers or otherwise effectively manage price volatility and this could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Further, in a declining price environment, our operating margins may contract because we account for inventory using the first-in, first-out method.
We monitor these exposures as an integral part of our overall risk management program. In some cases, we may enter into hedge contracts to insulate our results of operations from these fluctuations. These hedges are subject to the risk that our counterparty may not perform. As a result, changes in currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our business strategy includes acquiring companies and making investments that complement our existing business. These acquisitions and investments could be unsuccessful or consume significant resources, which could adversely affect our operating results.
We will continue to analyze and evaluate the acquisition of strategic businesses or product lines with the potential to strengthen our industry position or enhance our existing set of product and services offerings. These acquisitions are likely to include businesses in emerging markets, which are often riskier than acquisitions in developed markets. We cannot assure you that we will identify or successfully complete transactions with suitable acquisition candidates in the future. Nor can we assure you that completed acquisitions will be successful.
Acquisitions and investments may involve significant cash expenditures, debt incurrence, operating losses and expenses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Acquisitions involve numerous other risks, including:
•
diversion of management time and attention from daily operations;
•
difficulties integrating acquired businesses, technologies and personnel into our business;
•
inability to obtain required regulatory approvals and/or required financing on favorable terms;
•
potential loss of key employees, key contractual relationships, or key customers of acquired companies or of us;
•
assumption of the liabilities and exposure to unforeseen liabilities of acquired companies; and
•
dilution of interests of holders of our common shares through the issuance of equity securities or equity-linked securities.
It may be difficult for us to complete transactions quickly and to integrate acquired operations efficiently into our current business operations. Moreover, we may be unable to obtain strategic or operational benefits that are expected from our acquisitions. Any acquisitions or investments may ultimately harm our business or financial condition, as such acquisitions may not be successful and may ultimately result in impairment charges.
A significant percentage of our future growth is anticipated to come from emerging markets, and if we are unable to expand our operations in emerging markets, our growth rate could be negatively affected.
One aspect of our growth strategy is to seek significant growth in emerging markets, including China, India, Latin America and the Middle East, through both organic investments and through acquisitions. Emerging markets generally involve greater financial and operational risks than more mature markets, where legal systems are more developed and familiar to us. In some cases, emerging markets have greater political and economic volatility, greater vulnerability to infrastructure and labor disruptions, are more susceptible to corruption, and are locations where it may be more difficult to impose corporate standards and procedures. Negative or uncertain political climates in developing and emerging markets could also adversely affect us.
We cannot guarantee that our growth strategy will be successful. If we are unable to manage the risks inherent in our growth strategy in emerging markets, including civil unrest, international hostilities, natural disasters, security breaches and failure to maintain compliance with multiple legal and regulatory systems, our results of operations and ability to grow could be materially adversely affected.
Failure to maintain and upgrade the security of our information and technology networks, including personally identifiable and other information; non-compliance with our contractual or other legal obligations regarding such information; or a violation of the Company's privacy and security policies with respect to such information, could adversely affect us.
We are dependent on information technology networks and systems, including the Internet, to process, transmit and store electronic information, and, in the normal course of our business, we collect and retain significant volumes of certain types of personally identifiable and other information pertaining to our customers, stockholders and employees. The legal, regulatory and contractual environment surrounding information security and privacy is constantly evolving and companies that collect and retain such information are under increasing attack by cyber-criminals around the world. A significant actual or potential theft, loss, fraudulent use or misuse of customer, stockholder, employee or our data, whether by third parties or as a result of employee malfeasance or otherwise, non-compliance with our contractual or other legal obligations regarding such data or a violation of our privacy and security policies with respect to such data could adversely impact our reputation and could result in significant costs, fines, litigation or regulatory action against us. In addition, we depend on our information technology infrastructure for business-to-business and business-to-consumer electronic commerce. Security breaches of this infrastructure can create system disruptions and shutdowns that could result in disruptions to our operations. Increasingly, our security products and services are accessed through the Internet, and security breaches in connection with the delivery of our services via the Internet may affect us and could be detrimental to our reputation, business, operating results and financial condition. We cannot be certain that advances in criminal capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other developments will not compromise or breach the technology protecting the networks that access our products and services.

Failure to maintain, upgrade and consolidate our information and technology networks could adversely affect us.
We are continuously upgrading and consolidating our systems, including making changes to legacy systems, replacing legacy systems with successor systems with new functionality and acquiring new systems with new functionality. These types of activities subject us to inherent costs and risks associated with replacing and changing these systems, including impairment of our ability to fulfill customer orders, potential disruption of our internal control structure, substantial capital expenditures, additional administration and operating expenses, retention of sufficiently skilled personnel to implement and operate the new systems, demands on management time, and other risks and costs of delays or difficulties in transitioning to new systems or of integrating new systems into our current systems. Our system implementations may not result in productivity improvements at a level that outweighs the costs of implementation, or at all. In addition, the implementation of new technology systems may cause disruptions in our business operations and have an adverse effect on our business and operations, if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated.
If we cannot obtain sufficient quantities of materials, components and equipment required for our manufacturing activities at competitive prices and quality and on a timely basis, or if our manufacturing capacity does not meet demand, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may suffer.
We purchase materials, components and equipment from unrelated parties for use in our manufacturing operations. If we cannot obtain sufficient quantities of these items at competitive prices and quality and on a timely basis, we may not be able to produce sufficient quantities of product to satisfy market demand, product shipments may be delayed or our material or manufacturing costs may increase. In addition, because we cannot always immediately adapt our cost structures to changing market conditions, our manufacturing capacity may at times exceed or fall short of our production requirements. Any of these problems could result in the loss of customers, provide an opportunity for competing products to gain market acceptance and otherwise materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Failure to attract, motivate, train and retain qualified personnel could adversely affect our business.
Our culture and guiding principles focus on continuously training, motivating and developing employees, and in particular we strive to attract, motivate, train and retain qualified engineers and managers to handle the day-to-day operations of a highly diversified organization. Many of our manufacturing processes, and many of the integrated solutions we offer, are highly technical in nature. Our ability to expand or maintain our business depends on our ability to hire, train and retain engineers and other technical professionals with the skills necessary to understand and adapt to the continuously developing needs of our customers. This includes developing talent and leadership capabilities in emerging markets, where the depth of skilled employees is often limited and competition for resources is intense. Our geographic expansion strategy in emerging markets depends on our ability to attract, retain and integrate qualified managers and engineers. If we fail to attract, motivate, train and retain qualified personnel, or if we experience excessive turnover, we may experience declining sales, manufacturing delays or other inefficiencies, increased recruiting, training and relocation costs and other difficulties, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
We may be required to recognize substantial impairment charges in the future.
Pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we are required to assess our goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets periodically to determine whether they are impaired. Disruptions to our business, unfavorable end-market conditions and protracted economic weakness, unexpected significant declines in operating results of reporting units, divestitures and market capitalization declines may result in material charges for goodwill and other asset impairments. We maintain significant goodwill and intangible assets on our balance sheet, and we believe these balances are recoverable. However, fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to change. Impairments to one or more of our reporting units could occur in future periods whether or not connected with the annual impairment analysis. Future impairment charges could materially affect our reported earnings in the periods of such charges and could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Our residential and commercial security businesses may experience higher rates of customer attrition, which may reduce our future revenue and cause us to change the estimated useful lives of assets related to our security monitoring customers, increasing our depreciation and amortization expense.
If our residential security customers (located outside of North America) or our commercial security customers are dissatisfied with our products or services and switch to competitive products or services, or disconnect for other reasons, our recurring revenue and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. The risk is more pronounced in times of economic uncertainty, as customers may reduce amounts spent on the products and services we provide. We amortize the costs of acquired monitoring contracts and related customer relationships based on the estimated life of the customer relationships. Internally generated residential and commercial pools are similarly depreciated. If customer disconnect rates were to rise

significantly, we may be required to accelerate the depreciation and amortization of subscriber system assets and intangible assets, which could cause a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Divestitures of some of our businesses or product lines may materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
We continually evaluate the performance of all of our businesses and may sell businesses or product lines. Divestitures involve risks, including difficulties in the separation of operations, services, products and personnel, the diversion of management's attention from other business concerns, the disruption of our business, the potential loss of key employees and the retention of uncertain environmental or other contingent liabilities related to the divested business. In addition, divestitures may result in significant asset impairment charges, including those related to goodwill and other intangible assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in managing these or any other significant risks that we encounter in divesting a business or product line, and any divestiture we undertake could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our business may be adversely affected by work stoppages, union negotiations, labor disputes and other matters associated with our labor force.
We employ approximately 70,000 people worldwide. Approximately 10% of these employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements or works council. Although we believe that our relations with the labor unions and works councils that represent our employees are generally good and we have experienced no material strikes or work stoppages recently, no assurances can be made that we will not experience in the future these and other types of conflicts with labor unions, works council, other groups representing employees or our employees generally, or that any future negotiations with our labor unions will not result in significant increases in our cost of labor. Additionally, a work stoppage at one of our suppliers could materially and adversely affect our operations if an alternative source of supply were not readily available. Stoppages by employees of our customers could also result in reduced demand for our products.
A material disruption of our operations, particularly at our monitoring and/or manufacturing facilities, could adversely affect our business.
If our operations, particularly at our monitoring facilities and/or manufacturing facilities, were to be disrupted as a result of significant equipment failures, natural disasters, power outages, fires, explosions, terrorism, sabotage, adverse weather conditions, public health crises, labor disputes or other reasons, we may be unable to effectively respond to alarm signals, fill customer orders and otherwise meet obligations to or demand from our customers, which could adversely affect our financial performance.
Interruptions in production could increase our costs and reduce our sales. Any interruption in production capability could require us to make substantial capital expenditures or purchase alternative material at higher costs to fill customer orders, which could negatively affect our profitability and financial condition. We maintain property damage insurance that we believe to be adequate to provide for reconstruction of facilities and equipment, as well as business interruption insurance to mitigate losses resulting from any production interruption or shutdown caused by an insured loss. However, any recovery under our insurance policies may not offset the lost sales or increased costs that may be experienced during the disruption of operations, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
We may be unable to execute our strategies following the spin-offs of ADT and Tyco Flow Control.
In connection with the spin-offs of our former North American residential and small business security business and flow control businesses in September 2012, we anticipated certain financial, operational, managerial and other benefits to Tyco, and in particular we commenced certain productivity and other strategic initiatives following the spin-offs intended to reduce complexity, restructure operations and leverage Tyco’s scale in certain areas such as sourcing. We may not be able to achieve the anticipated results of these actions on the scale that we expected, and the anticipated benefits of the spin-offs, and the productivity and other strategic initiatives may not be fully realized.
We and ADT have entered into non-compete and non-solicit restrictions that prohibit us from competing with ADT in the residential and small business security business in the United States and Canada, and prohibit ADT from competing with us in the commercial fire and security businesses, in each case until September 29, 2014.
The ADT Separation and Distribution Agreement entered into in connection with the spin-offs includes non-compete provisions pursuant to which (i) we are prohibited from competing with ADT in the residential and small business security business in the United States and Canada and (ii) ADT is prohibited from competing with Tyco in the commercial fire and security businesses, subject to certain small business related exceptions, in each case until September 29, 2014. In addition, the

14
Table of Contents

ADT Separation and Distribution Agreement contains non-solicitation provisions preventing (i) us from soliciting ADT’s residential small business customers in the United States and Canada and (ii) ADT from soliciting our security customers, in each case until September 29, 2014. This effectively prevents us from expanding into ADT’s business, and ADT from expanding into our business, in these jurisdictions until September 29, 2014. When these restrictions expire, ADT could seek to compete with us for commercial security customers, especially smaller businesses. If ADT were successful in this regard, it could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results and operations and cash flows.
In connection with the 2012 Separation, we re-branded our North American commercial security business to Tyco Integrated Security and we no longer own the right to use the ADT ® brand name in the United States and Canada.
Prior to the spin-off of ADT in September 2012, we re-branded our North American commercial security business to Tyco Integrated Security. There is no assurance that we will be able to achieve name recognition or status under our new brand that is comparable to the recognition and status previously enjoyed. The failure of these initiatives could adversely affect our ability to attract and retain customers, resulting in reduced revenues. In addition, as a result of the spin-offs, we own the ADT ® brand name in jurisdictions outside of the United States and Canada, and ADT owns the brand name in the United States and Canada. Although we have entered agreements with ADT designed to protect the value of the ADT ® brand, we cannot assure you that actions taken by ADT will not negatively impact the value of the brand outside of the United States and Canada. These factors expose us to the risk that the ADT ® brand name could suffer reputational damage or devaluation for reasons outside of our control, including ADT's business conduct in the United States and Canada. Any of these factors may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Risks Related to Legal, Regulatory and Compliance Matters
We are subject to a variety of claims and litigation that could cause a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In the normal course of our business, we are subject to claims and lawsuits, including from time to time claims for damages related to product liability and warranties, litigation alleging the infringement of intellectual property rights, litigation alleging anti-competitive behavior, and litigation related to employee matters and commercial disputes. In certain circumstances, patent infringement and anti-trust laws permit successful plaintiffs to recover treble damages. Furthermore, we face exposure to product liability claims in the event that any of our products results in personal injury or property damage. The defense of these lawsuits may involve significant expense and diversion of our management's attention. In addition, we may be required to pay damage awards or settlements, become subject to injunctions or other equitable remedies or suffer from adverse publicity that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We are subject to product liability claims relating to products we manufacture or install. These claims could result in significant costs and liabilities and reduce our profitability.
We face exposure to product liability claims in the event that any of our products results in personal injury or property damage. In addition, if any of our products prove to be defective, we may be required to recall or redesign such products, which could result in significant unexpected costs. Any insurance we maintain may not be available on terms acceptable to us, such coverage may not be adequate for liabilities actually incurred, and our insurance carriers may deny coverage for claims made by us. Any claim or product recall could result in adverse publicity against us, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In addition, we could face liability for failure to respond adequately to alarm activations or failure of our fire protection systems to operate as expected. The nature of the services we provide exposes us to the risks that we may be held liable for employee acts or omissions or system failures. In an attempt to reduce this risk, our alarm monitoring agreements and other contracts contain provisions limiting our liability in such circumstances. We cannot provide assurance, however, that these limitations will be enforced. Losses from such litigation could be material to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Our businesses operate in a regulated industry.
Our operations and employees are subject to various U.S. federal, state and local licensing laws, fire and security codes and standards and other laws and regulations. In certain jurisdictions, we are required to obtain licenses or permits to comply with standards governing employee selection and training and to meet certain standards in the conduct of our business. The loss of such licenses, or the imposition of conditions to the granting or retention of such licenses, could have a material adverse effect on us. Furthermore, our systems generally must meet fire and building codes in order to be installed, and it is possible that our current or future products will fail to meet such codes, which could require us to make costly modifications to our products or to forgo marketing in certain jurisdictions.

Table of Contents

Changes in laws or regulations could require us to change the way we operate or to utilize resources to maintain compliance, which could increase costs or otherwise disrupt operations. In addition, failure to comply with any applicable laws or regulations could result in substantial fines or revocation of our operating permits and licenses. If laws and regulations were to change or if we or our products failed to comply, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Our international operations are subject to a variety of complex and continually changing laws and regulations.
Due to the international scope of our operations, the system of laws and regulations to which we are subject is complex and includes regulations issued by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security, the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control and various non U.S. governmental agencies, including applicable export controls, customs, currency exchange control and transfer pricing regulations, as applicable. No assurances can be made that we will continue to be found to be operating in compliance with, or be able to detect violations of, any such laws or regulations. In addition, we cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of future regulatory requirements to which our international operations might be subject or the manner in which existing laws might be administered or interpreted.
We could be adversely affected by violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar anti-bribery laws outside the United States.
The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the "FCPA") and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to government officials or other persons for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Recent years have seen a substantial increase in anti-bribery law enforcement activity, with more frequent and aggressive investigations and enforcement proceedings by both the Department of Justice ("DOJ") and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), increased enforcement activity by non-U.S. regulators, and increases in criminal and civil proceedings brought against companies and individuals. Our policies mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws. We operate in many parts of the world that are recognized as having governmental and commercial corruption and in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with local customs and practices. Because many of our customers and end users are involved in infrastructure construction and energy production, they are often subject to increased scrutiny by regulators. We cannot assure you that our internal control policies and procedures will always protect us from reckless or criminal acts committed by our employees or third party intermediaries. In the event that we believe or have reason to believe that our employees or agents have or may have violated applicable anti-corruption laws, including the FCPA, we may be required to investigate or have outside counsel investigate the relevant facts and circumstances, which can be expensive and require significant time and attention from senior management. Violations of these laws may result in criminal or civil sanctions, which could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations or financial condition.
Furthermore, in September 2012 we agreed to the settlement of charges related to alleged FCPA violations with the DOJ and SEC. In connection with the settlement, we entered into a consent agreement with the SEC and a non-prosecution agreement with the DOJ, and a subsidiary of ours (which is no longer part of Tyco as a result of the 2012 Separation) pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate the FCPA. Pursuant to the non-prosecution agreement, we have acknowledged that a number of our subsidiaries made payments, both directly and indirectly, to government officials in order to obtain and retain business with private and state-owned entities, and falsely described the payments in the subsidiaries' books, records and accounts. The non-prosecution agreement also acknowledges Tyco's timely, voluntary and complete disclosure to the DOJ, and our cooperation with the DOJ's investigation-including a global internal investigation concerning bribery and related misconduct-and extensive remediation. Under the non-prosecution and other agreements, we have agreed to cooperate with and report periodically to the DOJ and other governmental authorities concerning our compliance efforts and related matters, and to continue to implement an enhanced compliance program and internal controls designed to prevent and detect FCPA violations. Notwithstanding our settlement of the DOJ and SEC investigations, we may be subject to allegations of FCPA violations in the future, and we may be subject to commercial impacts such as lost revenue from customers who decline to do business with us as a result of these compliance matters. If so, or if we are unable to comply with the provisions of the non-prosecution and other agreements, we may be subject to additional investigation or enforcement by the DOJ or SEC. In such a case, we could be subject to material fines, injunctions on future conduct, the imposition of a compliance monitor, or suffer other criminal or civil penalties or adverse impacts, including being subject to lawsuits brought by private litigants, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our failure to satisfy international trade compliance regulations may adversely affect us.
Our global operations require importing and exporting goods and technology across international borders on a regular basis. From time to time, we obtain or receive information alleging improper activity in connection with imports or exports. Our policy mandates strict compliance with U.S. and international trade laws. When we receive information alleging improper

16
Table of Contents

activity, our policy is to investigate that information and respond appropriately, including, if warranted, reporting our findings to relevant governmental authorities. Nonetheless, we cannot provide assurance that our policies and procedures will always protect us from actions that would violate U.S. and/or foreign laws. Such improper actions could subject the Company to civil or criminal penalties, including material monetary fines, or other adverse actions including denial of import or export privileges, and could damage our reputation and our business prospects.
We are party to asbestos-related product litigation that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We and certain of our subsidiaries, along with numerous other companies, are named as defendants in personal injury lawsuits based on alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials. These cases typically involve product liability claims based primarily on allegations of manufacture, sale or distribution of industrial products that either contained asbestos or were attached to or used with asbestos-containing components manufactured by third parties. Each case typically names between dozens to hundreds of corporate defendants. While we have observed an increase in the number of these lawsuits over the past several years, including lawsuits by plaintiffs with mesothelioma-related claims, a large percentage of these suits have not presented viable legal claims and, as a result, have been dismissed by the courts. The Company's historical strategy has been to mount a vigorous defense aimed at having unsubstantiated suits dismissed, and, where appropriate, settling suits before trial. Although a large percentage of litigated suits have been dismissed, we cannot predict the extent to which we will be successful in resolving lawsuits in the future, and we continually assess our strategy for resolving asbestos claims. Unfavorable rulings, judgments or settlement terms could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Due to the number of claims and limited amount of assets at Yarway Corporation (“Yarway”), one of the Company's indirect subsidiaries, Yarway filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. As a result of this filing, all asbestos claims against Yarway have been stayed pending confirmation of a plan of reorganization by the Bankruptcy Court. Yarway’s goal is to negotiate, obtain approval of, and consummate a plan of reorganization that establishes an appropriately funded trust to provide for the fair and equitable payment of legitimate current and future Yarway asbestos claims, accompanied by appropriate injunctive relief permanently protecting Yarway and certain other protected parties from any further asbestos claims arising from products manufactured, sold, and/or distributed by Yarway. However, we cannot assure you that the relief granted by the Bankruptcy Court will be satisfactory to Yarway or its non-debtor affiliates, and a failure to obtain satisfactory relief could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We currently record an estimated liability related to pending claims and claims estimated to be received over the next fifteen years, including related defense costs, based on a number of key assumptions and estimation methodologies. These assumptions are derived from claims experience over the past three years and reflect our expectations about future claim activities over the next fifteen years. These assumptions about the future may or may not prove accurate, and accordingly, we may incur additional liabilities in the future. A change in one or more of the inputs or the methodology that we use to estimate the asbestos liability could materially change the estimated liability and associated cash flows for pending and future claims. Although it is possible that the Company will incur additional costs for asbestos claims filed beyond the next fifteen years, we do not believe there is a reasonable basis for estimating those costs at this time. On a quarterly and annual basis, we perform analyses to review and update as appropriate the underlying assumptions.
We also record an asset that represents our best estimate of probable recoveries from insurers or other responsible parties for the estimated asbestos liabilities. There are significant assumptions made in developing estimates of asbestos-related recoveries, such as policy triggers, policy or contract interpretation, success in litigation in certain cases, the methodology for allocating claims to policies, and the continued solvency of the insurers or other responsible parties. The assumptions underlying the recorded asset may not prove accurate, and as a result, actual performance by our insurers and other responsible parties could result in lower receivables and cash flows expected to reduce our asbestos costs. Due to these uncertainties, as well as our inability to reasonably estimate any additional asbestos liability for claims that may be filed beyond the next fifteen years, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of the cost, nor potential recoveries, of resolving the pending and all unasserted asbestos claims. Additionally, we believe it is possible that the cost of asbestos claims filed beyond the next fifteen years, net of expected recoveries, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Our operations expose us to the risk of material environmental liabilities, litigation and violations.
We have received notification from the United States Environmental Protection Agency and from other environmental agencies that conditions at several sites where we and others disposed of hazardous substances require cleanup and other possible remedial action and may require that we reimburse the government or otherwise pay for the cost of cleanup of those sites and/or for natural resource damages. We have projects underway at several current and former manufacturing facilities to

17
Table of Contents

investigate and remediate environmental contamination resulting from past operations by us or by other businesses that previously owned or used the properties. These projects relate to a variety of activities, including:
•
solvent, oil, metal and other hazardous substance contamination cleanup; and
•
structure decontamination and demolition, including asbestos abatement.
These projects involve both remediation expenses and capital improvements. In addition, we remain responsible for certain environmental issues at manufacturing locations previously sold by us.
Certain environmental laws assess liability on current or previous owners or operators of real property for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous substances at their properties or at properties at which they have disposed of hazardous substances. In addition to cleanup actions brought by governmental authorities, private parties could bring personal injury or other claims due to the presence of, or exposure to, hazardous substances.
The ultimate cost of cleanup at disposal sites and manufacturing facilities is difficult to predict given uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and alternative cleanup methods. Environmental laws are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time. While we have budgeted for future capital and operating expenditures to maintain compliance with such laws, we cannot provide assurance that our costs of complying with current or future environmental protection and health and safety laws, or our liabilities arising from past or future releases of, or exposures to, hazardous substances will not exceed our estimates or materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We may also be subject to material liabilities for additional environmental claims for personal injury or cleanup in the future based on our past, present or future business activities or for existing environmental conditions of which we are not presently aware.
We depend on third-party licenses for our products and services.
We rely on certain software technology that we license from third parties and use in our products and services to perform key functions and provide critical functionality, particularly in our commercial security business. Because our products and services incorporate software developed and maintained by third parties we are, to a certain extent, dependent upon such third parties' ability to maintain or enhance their current products and services, to ensure that their products are free of defects or security vulnerabilities, to develop new products and services on a timely and cost-effective basis, and to respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes. Further, these third-party technology licenses may not always be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If our agreements with third-party vendors are not renewed or the third-party software fails to address the needs of our software products and services, we would be required to find alternative software products and services or technologies of equal performance or functionality. We cannot assure that we would be able to replace the functionality provided by third-party software if we lose the license to this software, it becomes obsolete or incompatible with future versions of our products and services or is otherwise not adequately maintained or updated. Furthermore, even if we obtain licenses to alternative software products or services that provide the functionality we need, we may be required to replace hardware installed at our monitoring centers and at our customers' sites, including security system control panels and peripherals, in order to effect our integration of or migration to alternative software products. Any of these factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Infringement or expiration of our intellectual property rights, or allegations that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of third parties, could negatively affect us.
We rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, know-how, confidentiality provisions and licensing arrangements to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We cannot guarantee, however, that the steps we have taken to protect our intellectual property will be adequate to prevent infringement of our rights or misappropriation of our technology, trade secrets or know-how. For example, effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in some of the countries in which we operate. In addition, while we generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees and third parties to protect our trade secrets, know-how, business strategy and other proprietary information, such confidentiality agreements could be breached or otherwise may not provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets and know-how related to the design, manufacture or operation of our products. If it became necessary for us to resort to litigation to protect our intellectual property rights, any proceedings could be burdensome and costly, and we may not prevail. Further, adequate remedies may not be available in the event of an unauthorized use or disclosure of our trade secrets and manufacturing expertise. Finally, for those products in our portfolio that rely on patent protection, once a patent has expired, the product is generally open to competition. Products under patent protection usually generate significantly higher revenues than those not protected by patents. If we fail to successfully enforce our intellectual property rights, our competitive position could suffer, which could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In addition, we are, from time to time, subject to claims of intellectual property infringement by third parties, including practicing entities and non-practicing entities. Regardless of the merit of such claims, responding to infringement claims can

18
Table of Contents

be expensive and time-consuming, and the litigation process is subject to inherent uncertainties, and we may not prevail in litigation matters regardless of the merits of our position. Intellectual property lawsuits or claims may become extremely disruptive if the plaintiffs succeed in blocking the trade of our products and services and they may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Legislative action by the U.S. Congress could adversely affect us.
Legislative action could be taken by the U.S. Congress which, if ultimately enacted, could override tax treaties, or modify statutes or regulations, upon which we rely, which could materially and adversely affect our effective corporate tax rate. We cannot predict the outcome of any specific legislative proposals. If proposals were enacted that had the effect of disregarding our incorporation in Switzerland or limiting our ability as a Swiss company to take advantage of the tax treaties between Switzerland and the United States, we could be subject to increased taxation.
Police departments could refuse to respond to calls from monitored security service companies.
Police departments in a limited number of U.S. cities do not respond to calls from monitored security service companies, either as a matter of policy or by local ordinance. We have offered affected customers the option of receiving responses from private guard companies, in most cases through contracts with us, which increases the overall cost to customers. If more police departments, whether inside or outside the U.S., were to refuse to respond or be prohibited from responding to calls from monitored security service companies, our ability to attract and retain customers could be negatively impacted and our results of operations and cash flow could be adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Liquidity and Financial Markets
Disruptions in the financial markets could have adverse effects on us, our customers and our suppliers, by increasing our funding costs or reducing the availability of credit.
In the normal course of our business, we may access credit markets for general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of indebtedness, acquisitions, additions to working capital, repurchase of common shares, capital expenditures and investments in our subsidiaries. Although we believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet our foreseeable needs, our access to and the cost of capital could be negatively impacted by disruptions in the credit markets. In 2009 and 2010, credit markets experienced significant dislocations and liquidity disruptions, and similar disruptions in the credit markets could make financing terms for borrowers unattractive or unavailable. These factors may make it more difficult or expensive for us to access credit markets if the need arises. In addition, these factors may make it more difficult for our suppliers to meet demand for their products or for prospective customers to commence new projects, as customers and suppliers may experience increased costs of debt financing or difficulties in obtaining debt financing. Disruptions in the financial markets have had adverse effects on other areas of the economy and have led to a slowdown in general economic activity that may continue to adversely affect our businesses. These disruptions may have other unknown adverse effects. Based on these conditions, our profitability and our ability to execute our business strategy may be adversely affected.
Covenants in our debt instruments may adversely affect us.
Our bank credit agreements contain customary financial covenants, including a limit on the ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and limits on incurrence of liens and subsidiary debt. In addition, the indentures governing our bonds contain customary covenants including limits on negative pledges, subsidiary debt and sale-leaseback transactions.
Although we believe none of these covenants are restrictive to our operations, our ability to meet the financial covenants can be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot provide assurance that we will meet those tests. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under our credit agreements or indentures. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under any of our credit facilities or indentures, the lenders or trustees could elect to declare all amounts outstanding thereunder to be immediately due and payable and, in the case of credit facility lenders, terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If the lenders or trustees accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we cannot provide assurance that we will have sufficient assets to repay our credit facilities and our other indebtedness. Furthermore, acceleration of any obligation under any of our material debt instruments will permit the holders of our other material debt to accelerate their obligations, which could have a material adverse affect on our financial condition.
Material adverse legal judgments, fines, penalties or settlements could adversely affect our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our outstanding indebtedness.
We estimate that our available cash, our cash flow from operations and amounts available to us under our credit facilities will be adequate to fund our operations and service our debt for the foreseeable future. However, material adverse legal judgments, fines, penalties or settlements arising from litigation and similar contingencies could require additional funding. If

19
Table of Contents

such developments require us to obtain additional funding, we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to obtain the additional funding that we need on commercially reasonable terms or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Such an outcome could have important consequences to you. For example, it could:
•
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, research and development efforts and other corporate purposes, including dividend payments;
•
increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions;
•
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our businesses and the industries in which we operate;
•
restrict our ability to introduce new technologies or exploit business opportunities;
•
make it more difficult for us to satisfy our payment obligations with respect to our outstanding indebtedness; and
•
increase the difficulty and/or cost to us of refinancing our indebtedness.
We may increase our debt or raise additional capital in the future, which could affect our financial health, and may decrease our profitability.
We may increase our debt or raise additional capital in the future, subject to restrictions in our debt agreements. If our cash flow from operations is less than we anticipate, or if our cash requirements are more than we expect, we may require more financing. However, debt or equity financing may not be available to us on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we incur additional debt or raise equity through the issuance of additional capital stock, the terms of the debt or capital stock issued may give the holders rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock, particularly in the event of liquidation. The terms of the debt may also impose additional and more stringent restrictions on our operations than we currently have. If we raise funds through the issuance of additional equity, your percentage ownership in us would decline. If we are unable to raise additional capital when needed, it could affect our financial health, which could negatively affect your investment in us.
Risks Relating to Tax Matters
Examinations and audits by tax authorities, including the IRS, could result in additional tax payments for prior periods.
Tyco’s and its subsidiaries' income tax returns periodically are examined by various tax authorities. In connection with these examinations, tax authorities, including the IRS, have raised issues and proposed tax adjustments, in particular, with respect to tax years preceding the 2007 Separation. We previously disclosed that in connection with U.S. federal tax audits, the IRS has raised a number of issues and proposed tax adjustments for periods beginning with the 1997 tax year. In particular, we have been unable to resolve with the IRS matters related to the treatment of certain intercompany debt transactions in existence prior to the 2007 Separation. As a result, on June 20, 2013, we received Notices of Deficiency from the IRS asserting that several of our former U.S. subsidiaries owe additional taxes of $883.3 million plus penalties of $154 million based on audits of the 1997 through 2000 tax years of Tyco and its subsidiaries as they existed at that time. In addition, we received Final Partnership Administrative Adjustments for certain U.S. partnerships owned by former U.S. subsidiaries with respect to which an additional tax deficiency of approximately $30 million is expected to be asserted. These amounts exclude interest and do not reflect the impact on subsequent periods if the IRS position described below is ultimately proved correct. In addition, the adjustments proposed by the IRS are subject to the sharing provisions of a tax sharing agreement entered in 2007 with Covidien and TE Connectivity under which Tyco, Covidien and TE Connectivity share 27%, 42% and 31%, respectively, of shared income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to Tyco's, Covidien's and TE Connectivity's U.S. and certain non-U.S. income tax returns.
The IRS asserted in the Notices of Deficiency that substantially all of Tyco’s intercompany debt originated during the 1997 - 2000 period should not be treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and disallowed interest and related deductions recognized on U.S. income tax returns totaling approximately $2.9 billion. We strongly disagree with the IRS position and have filed petitions with the U.S. Tax Court contesting the IRS proposed adjustments. We believe that we have meritorious defenses for our tax filings, that the IRS positions with regard to these matters is inconsistent with the applicable tax laws and existing Treasury regulations, and that the previously reported taxes for the years in question are appropriate. Furthermore, we believe that Tyco’s income tax reserves and the liabilities recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet for the tax sharing arrangements are appropriate. However, the ultimate resolution of these matters, and the impact of that resolution, are uncertain and could have a materially adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In particular, if the IRS is successful in asserting its claim, it would have an adverse impact on interest deductions related to the same intercompany debt in subsequent time periods, totaling approximately $6.6 billion, which is expected to be disallowed by the IRS.

We share responsibility for certain of our, Covidien's and TE Connectivity's income tax liabilities for tax periods prior to and including June 29, 2007.
In connection with the 2007 Separation, Tyco entered into a tax sharing agreement (the "2007 Tax Sharing Agreement") that governs the rights and obligations of each party with respect to certain pre-2007 Separation tax liabilities and certain tax liabilities arising in connection with the 2007 Separation. As noted above, Tyco, Covidien and TE Connectivity share 27%, 42% and 31%, respectively, of income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to Tyco's, Covidien's and TE Connectivity's U.S. and certain non-U.S. income tax returns and certain taxes attributable to internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the 2007 Separation. In the event the 2007 Separation, or certain related transactions, is determined to be taxable as a result of actions taken after the 2007 Separation by Tyco, Covidien, or TE Connectivity, the party responsible for such failure would be responsible for all taxes imposed on Tyco, Covidien, or TE Connectivity as a result thereof. If none of the companies is responsible for such failure, then Tyco, Covidien, and TE Connectivity would be responsible for such taxes in the same manner and in the same proportions as other shared tax liabilities under the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement. Costs and expenses associated with the management of these shared tax liabilities are generally shared equally among the parties.
If any party to the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement were to default in its obligation to another party to pay its share of the distribution taxes that arise as a result of no party's fault, each non-defaulting party would be required to pay, equally with any other non-defaulting party, the amounts in default. In addition, if another party to the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement that is responsible for all or a portion of an income tax liability were to default in its payment of such liability to a taxing authority, we could be legally liable under applicable tax law for such liabilities and required to make additional tax payments. Accordingly, under certain circumstances, we may be obligated to pay amounts in excess of our agreed-upon share of our, Covidien's and TE Connectivity's tax liabilities.
As noted above, with respect to years prior to and including the 2007 Separation, we are litigating certain issues and proposed tax adjustments that the IRS has raised that are generally subject to the sharing provisions of the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement and which may require Tyco to make a payment to a taxing authority, Covidien or TE Connectivity. Tyco has recorded a liability as of September 27, 2013 which it has assessed and believes is adequate to cover the payments that Tyco may be required to make under the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement. However, the ultimate resolution of these matters is uncertain and could result in Tyco being responsible for a greater amount than it expects under the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement.
We share responsibility for certain of our, Pentair's and ADT's income tax liabilities for tax periods prior to and including the Distribution date.
In connection with the Distributions, we entered into the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement with Pentair and ADT that is separate from the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement and which governs the rights and obligations of Tyco, ADT and Pentair for certain tax liabilities before the Distributions, including Tyco's obligations under the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement. Under the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement Tyco, Pentair and ADT share (i) certain pre-Distribution income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to ADT's U.S., Tyco Flow Control's and Tyco's income tax returns, and (ii) payments required to be made by Tyco with respect to the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement, excluding approximately $175 million of pre-2012 Separation related tax liabilities that were anticipated to be paid prior to the 2012 Separation (collectively, "Shared Tax Liabilities"). Tyco will be responsible for the first $500 million of Shared Tax Liabilities. Pentair and ADT will share 42% and 58%, respectively, of the next $225 million of Shared Tax Liabilities. Tyco, Pentair and ADT will share 52.5% 20% and 27.5%, respectively, of Shared Tax Liabilities above $725 million. All costs and expenses associated with the management of these shared tax liabilities will generally be shared 20%, 27.5%, and 52.5% by Pentair, ADT and Tyco, respectively. As of September 28, 2012, Tyco established liabilities representing the fair market value of its obligations under the 2012 Tax Sharing Arrangement which is recorded in other liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet with an offset to Tyco shareholders' equity. In addition, we entered into a non-income tax sharing agreement with ADT in connection with the ADT Distribution. To the extent we are responsible for any liability under these agreements, there could be a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows or our effective tax rate in future reporting periods.
The 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement provides that, if any party were to default in its obligation to another party to pay its share of certain taxes that may arise as a result of the failure of the Distributions to be tax free (such taxes, as defined in the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement, "Distribution Taxes"), each non-defaulting party would be required to pay, equally with any other non-defaulting party, the amounts in default. In addition, if another party to the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement that is responsible for all or a portion of an income tax liability were to default in its payment of such liability to a taxing authority, we could be legally liable under applicable tax law for such liabilities and required to make additional tax payments. Accordingly, under certain circumstances, we may be obligated to pay amounts in excess of our agreed-upon share of our, Pentair's and ADT's tax liabilities.

Table of Contents

If the Distributions or certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the Distributions are determined to be taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we, our shareholders that are subject to U.S. federal income tax and/or both ADT and Pentair could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities.
Tyco has received a private letter ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Distributions to the effect that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Distributions will qualify as tax-free under Sections 355 and/or 361 of the Code, except for cash received in lieu of a fractional share of ADT common stock or of Pentair common shares. The private letter ruling also provides that certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the Distributions will qualify for favorable treatment under the Code. In addition to obtaining the private letter ruling, Tyco has received an opinion from the law firm of McDermott Will & Emery LLP confirming the tax-free status of the Distributions for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The private letter ruling and the opinion rely on certain facts and assumptions, and certain representations and undertakings, from us, Pentair and ADT regarding the past and future conduct of our respective businesses and other matters.
Notwithstanding the private letter ruling and the opinion, the IRS could determine on audit that the Distributions or the internal transactions should be treated as taxable transactions if it determines that any of these facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings is not correct or has been violated, or that the Distributions or the internal transactions should be taxable for other reasons, including as a result of significant changes in stock ownership (which might take into account changes in Pentair stock ownership resulting from the Merger) or asset ownership after the Distributions. An opinion of counsel represents counsel's best legal judgment, is not binding on the IRS or the courts, and the IRS or the courts may not agree with the opinion. In addition, the opinions will be based on current law, and cannot be relied upon if current law changes with retroactive effect. If the Distributions ultimately are determined to be taxable, the Distributions could be treated as a taxable dividend or capital gain to you for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and you could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities. In addition, we would recognize gain in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Pentair common shares and the shares of ADT common stock distributed to our shareholders on the distribution date over our tax basis in such common shares, but such gain, if recognized, generally would not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. However, we, Pentair or ADT could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities if it is ultimately determined that certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the Distributions are taxable.
In addition, under the terms of the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement, in the event the Distributions or the internal transactions were determined to be taxable as a result of actions taken after the Distributions by us, Pentair or ADT, the party responsible for such failure would be responsible for all taxes imposed on us, Pentair or ADT as a result thereof. If such failure is not the result of actions taken after the Distributions by us, Pentair or ADT, then we, Pentair and ADT will share the liability in the manner and according to the sharing percentages set forth in the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement. Such tax amounts could be significant. In the event that any party to the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement defaults in its obligation to pay Distribution Taxes to another party that arise as a result of no party's fault, each non-defaulting party would be responsible for an equal amount of the defaulting party's obligation to make a payment to another party in respect of such other party's taxes.
If the Distributions or the Merger are determined to be taxable for Swiss withholding tax purposes, we, ADT and Pentair could incur significant Swiss withholding tax liabilities.
Generally, Swiss withholding tax of 35% is due on dividends and similar distributions to Tyco's shareholders, regardless of the place of residency of the shareholder. As of January 1, 2011, distributions to shareholders out of qualifying contributed surplus accumulated on or after January 1, 1997 are exempt from Swiss withholding tax, if certain conditions are met ( Kapitaleinlageprinzip ). Tyco has obtained a ruling from the Swiss Federal Tax Administration confirming that the Distributions qualify as payment out of such qualifying contributed surplus and no amount was withheld by Tyco when making the Distributions.
We have obtained tax rulings from the Swiss Tax Administrations confirming that the Merger is a transaction that is generally tax-free for Swiss federal, cantonal, and communal tax purposes (including with respect to Swiss stamp tax and Swiss withholding tax). However, these tax rulings rely on certain facts and assumptions, and certain representations and undertakings, from Tyco. Notwithstanding these tax rulings, the Swiss Federal Tax Administration could determine on audit that the Distributions or the Merger should be treated as a taxable transaction for withholding tax or other tax purposes if it determines that any of these facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings is not correct or has been violated. If the Distributions or the Merger ultimately are determined to be taxable for withholding tax or other tax purposes, Tyco and Tyco shareholders could incur material Swiss withholding tax liabilities that could significantly detract from, or eliminate, the benefits of the Distributions and the Merger. In addition, Tyco could become liable to indemnify Pentair for part of any Swiss withholding tax liabilities to the extent provided under the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement.

Table of Contents

We might not be able to engage in desirable strategic transactions and equity issuances as a result of the Distributions because of restrictions relating to U.S. federal income tax requirements for tax-free distributions.
Our ability to engage in significant equity transactions could be limited or restricted as a result of the Distributions in order to preserve, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the tax-free nature of the Distributions. Even if the Distributions otherwise qualify for tax-free treatment under Section 355 of the Code, it may result in corporate-level gain to Tyco and certain of its affiliates under Section 355(e) of the Code if 50% or more, by vote or value, of our shares, Pentair's shares or ADT's shares are acquired or issued as part of a plan or series of related transactions that includes the Distributions. Any acquisitions or issuances of our shares, Pentair's shares or ADT's shares within two years after the Distributions generally will be presumed to be part of such a plan, although we, Pentair or ADT may be able to rebut that presumption.
To preserve the tax-free treatment to us of the Distributions, under the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement that we entered with Pentair and ADT, we are prohibited from taking or failing to take any action that prevents the Distributions and related transactions from being tax-free. Further, for the two-year period following the Distributions, without obtaining the consent of Pentair and ADT, a private letter ruling from the IRS or an unqualified opinion of a nationally recognized law firm, we may be prohibited from:
•
approving or allowing any transaction that results in a change in ownership of more than 35% of our common shares when combined with any other changes in ownership of our common shares,
•
redeeming equity securities,
•
selling or otherwise disposing of more than 35% of our assets, or
•
engaging in certain internal transactions.

These restrictions may limit our ability to pursue strategic transactions or engage in new business or other transactions that may maximize the value of our business. Moreover, the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement also provides that we will be responsible for any taxes imposed on Pentair or any of its affiliates or on ADT or any of its affiliates as a result of the failure of the Distributions or the internal transactions to qualify for favorable treatment under the Code if such failure is attributable to certain actions taken after the Distributions by or in respect of us, any of our affiliates or our shareholders.
Risks Relating to Our Jurisdiction of Incorporation in Switzerland
Changes to Swiss law, in particular significantly heightened risk of criminal penalties for executives and directors, could make it difficult for us to recruit and retain executives and directors.
In March 2013, Swiss voters passed a ballot initiative as a result of which Switzerland’s Federal Constitution was amended. Among other things, this constitutional amendment requires the adoption of legislation that prohibits certain compensation practices in relation to a company’s directors and members of executive management, such as severance compensation, advance compensation and incentive commissions in connection with the sale and purchase of businesses. The constitutional amendment further requires a public company’s board of directors to submit the proposed compensation for directors and members of executive management to a binding shareholder vote. The initial ordinance implementing these requirements is expected to become effective on January 1, 2014. Based on the preliminary draft ordinance made public in June 2013, we expect, among other things, the ordinance to provide for the imprisonment of directors and members of executive management for up to three years if such individuals violate certain provisions of the ordinance. We further believe that certain ordinary course compensation practices and other activities that we view as widely accepted among our peers may no longer be permissible under Swiss law. The draft ordinance further leaves considerable uncertainty as to the legality of certain compensation arrangements for our directors and executives under Swiss law. As a result, our ability to compete for talent with our peer companies, and our board’s ability to fulfill its compensation oversight and executive succession planning duties, may be materially adversely affected.
Additionally, Swiss voters are currently expected to vote on a number of ballot initiatives that may adversely affect the general business climate in Switzerland. Among other things, a ballot initiative, on which Swiss voters are expected to vote in November 2013, generally referred to as the “1:12 Initiative,” would require, if approved, that the highest salary paid by a company to an employee to not be greater than twelve times the lowest salary paid by the same company. If the 1:12 initiative is approved and implemented by legislation, we believe that the ensuing limitations would materially adversely affect our ability to compete with our peer companies incorporated outside Switzerland.
Swiss laws differ from the laws in effect in the United States and may afford less protection to holders of Tyco's securities.
Because of differences between Swiss law and U.S. state and federal laws and differences between the governing documents of Swiss companies and those incorporated in the U.S., it may not be possible to enforce in Switzerland court judgments obtained in the United States against Tyco based on the civil liability provisions of the federal or state securities laws

23

of the United States. As a result, in a lawsuit based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal or state securities laws, U.S. investors may find it difficult to:
•
effect service within the United States upon Tyco or its directors and officers located outside the United States;
•
enforce judgments obtained against those persons in U.S. courts or in courts in jurisdictions outside the United States; and
•
enforce against those persons in Switzerland, whether in original actions or in actions for the enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts, civil liabilities based solely upon the U.S. federal or state securities laws.
Original actions against persons in Switzerland based solely upon the U.S. federal or state securities laws are governed, among other things, by the principles set forth in the Swiss Federal Act on International Private Law. This statute provides that the application of provisions of non-Swiss law by the courts in Switzerland shall be precluded if the result was incompatible with Swiss public policy. Also, mandatory provisions of Swiss law may be applicable regardless of any other law that would otherwise apply.
Switzerland and the United States do not have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition of and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. The recognition and enforcement of a judgment of the courts of the United States in Switzerland is governed by the principles set forth in the Swiss Federal Act on Private International Law. This statute provides in principle that a judgment rendered by a non-Swiss court may be enforced in Switzerland only if:
•
the foreign court had jurisdiction pursuant to the Swiss Federal Act on Private International Law;
•
the judgment of such foreign court has become final and non-appealable;
•
the judgment does not contravene Swiss public policy;
•
the court procedures and the service of documents leading to the judgment were in accordance with the due process of law; and
•
no proceeding involving the same position and the same subject matter was first brought in Switzerland, or adjudicated in Switzerland, or that it was earlier adjudicated in a third state and this decision is recognizable in Switzerland.
Our status as a Swiss corporation may limit our flexibility with respect to certain aspects of capital management and may cause us to be unable to make distributions or repurchase shares without subjecting our shareholders to Swiss withholding tax, or at all.
Swiss law allows our shareholders to authorize share capital that can be issued by the Board of Directors without additional shareholder approval, but this authorization is limited to 50% of the existing registered share capital and must be renewed by the shareholders every two years. Our current authorized share capital will expire on March 6, 2015. Additionally, subject to specified exceptions, Swiss law grants preemptive rights to existing shareholders to subscribe for new issuances of shares. Swiss law also does not provide as much flexibility in the various terms that can attach to different classes of shares as the laws of some other jurisdictions. Swiss law also reserves for approval by shareholders certain corporate actions over which a board of directors would have authority in some other jurisdictions. For example, dividends must be approved by shareholders. These Swiss law requirements relating to our capital management may limit our flexibility, and situations may arise where greater flexibility would have provided substantial benefits to our shareholders.
Under Swiss law, a Swiss corporation may pay dividends only if the corporation has sufficient distributable profits from previous fiscal years, or if the corporation has distributable reserves, each as evidenced by its audited statutory balance sheet. Distributable reserves are generally booked either as "free reserves" or as "contributed surplus" (contributions received from shareholders) in the "reserve from capital contributions." Furthermore, generally, Swiss withholding tax of 35% is due on dividends and similar distributions to our shareholders, regardless of the place of residency of the shareholder, unless the distribution is made to shareholders (i) by way of a reduction of par value or (ii) assuming certain conditions are met, out of qualifying contributed surplus ( Kapitaleinlage ) accumulated on or after January 1, 1997. Payments may be made out of registered share capital-the aggregate par value of a company's registered shares-only by way of a capital reduction. Tyco's distributable reserves based on its Swiss statutory account for fiscal year 2013 are CHF 25 billion, and its registered share capital is approximately CHF 243 million. Tyco's distributable reserves will be reduced by any additional distributions approved by our shareholders, including any ordinary cash dividends approved by our shareholders at the annual general meeting in March 2014.
If we are not successful in our efforts to make dividends through a reduction of par value or out of qualifying contributed surplus, then any dividends paid by us generally will be subject to a Swiss federal withholding tax. The withholding tax must be withheld from the gross distribution and paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration. A U.S. holder that qualifies for benefits under the Convention between the United States of America and the Swiss Confederation for the Avoidance of Double Taxation with Respect to Taxes on Income, which we refer to as the "U.S.-Swiss Treaty," may apply for a refund of the tax

24
Table of Contents

withheld in excess of the 15% treaty rate (or in excess of the 5% reduced treaty rate for qualifying corporate shareholders with at least 10% participation in our voting stock, or for a full refund in the case of qualified pension funds). Even if we are able to pay dividends in the future, there can be no assurance that we will meet the requirements to pay such dividends free from Swiss withholding tax or that Swiss withholding rules will not be changed in the future. We cannot provide assurance that the current Swiss law with respect to distributions out of qualifying contributed surplus will not be changed or that a change in Swiss law will not adversely affect us or our shareholders, in particular as a result of distributions out of qualifying contributed surplus becoming subject to additional corporate law or other restrictions. In addition, over the long term, the amount of par value available to us for par value reductions and the amount of qualifying contributed surplus available to us to pay out as distributions is limited.
Under present Swiss tax laws, repurchases of shares for the purposes of cancellation are treated as a partial liquidation subject to 35% Swiss withholding tax on the difference between the repurchase price and the par value except, since January 1, 2011, to the extent attributable to qualifying contributed surplus ( Kapitaleinlagereserven ) if any. If, and to the extent that, the repurchase of shares is out of retained earnings or other taxable reserves, the Swiss withholding becomes due. No partial liquidation treatment applies, and no withholding tax is triggered, if the shares are not repurchased for cancellation but held by us as treasury shares. However, should such treasury shares remain in treasury for six years, the withholding tax becomes due at the end of the six year period.

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings
The Company is a party to several lawsuits involving disputes with former management, including its former chief executive officer, Mr. L. Dennis Kozlowski, and its former chief financial officer, Mr. Mark Swartz. The Company filed civil complaints against Mr. Kozlowski and Mr. Swartz for breach of fiduciary duty and other wrongful conduct relating to alleged abuses of the Company's Key Employee Loan Program and relocation program, unauthorized bonuses, unauthorized payments, self-dealing transactions and other improper conduct. In connection with Tyco's affirmative actions against Mr. Kozlowski and Mr. Swartz, Mr. Kozlowski, through counterclaims, and Mr. Swartz, through a separate lawsuit, sought an aggregate of

25
Table of Contents

approximately $140 million allegedly due in connection with their compensation and retention arrangements and under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"). A former director, Mr. Frank Walsh Jr. sought indemnification for legal and other expenses incurred by him in connection with the Company's affirmative action against him for breaches of fiduciary duties.
With respect to Mr. Kozlowski, on December 1, 2010, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York ruled in favor of several of the Company's affirmative claims against him before trial, while dismissing all of Mr. Kozlowski's counterclaims for pay and benefits after 1995. Prior to the commencement of trial, the parties reached an agreement in principle to resolve the matter, with Mr. Kozlowski agreeing to release the Company from any claims to monetary amounts related to compensation, retention or other arrangements alleged to have existed between him and the Company. Although the parties have reached an agreement in principle, until the settlement agreement is signed, the Company will continue to maintain the amounts recorded in its Consolidated Balance Sheet, which reflect a net liability of approximately $91 million, for the amounts allegedly due under his compensation and retention arrangements and under ERISA.
With respect to Mr. Swartz, on March 3, 2011, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York granted the Company's motion for summary judgment as to liability for its affirmative actions and further ruled that issues related to damages would need to be resolved at trial. During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company reversed a $50 million liability related to Mr. Swartz's pay and benefits due to the expiration of the statute of limitations, which was recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. On May 15, 2012, Mr. Swartz filed a lawsuit against Tyco in New York state court claiming entitlement to monies under ERISA. The Company removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and filed a motion to dismiss Mr. Swartz's claims for multiple reasons, including that the statute of limitations had expired, at the latest, during the second quarter of fiscal 2012. A trial to determine the Company's damages from Mr. Swartz's breaches of fiduciary duty concluded on October 17, 2012. At the conclusion of the trial, the Court ruled that the Company was entitled to recover all monies earned by Mr. Swartz in connection with his employment by Tyco between September 1, 1995 and June 1, 2002. The Company filed a motion requesting the entry of monetary sum certain judgment in conformity with the Court's ruling regarding the time period of disgorgement. The motion also requested interest related to the monies Mr. Swartz was found to have unlawfully taken from the Company. In March 2013, the Court entered an order awarding the Company's request for interest. In connection with Mr. Swartz's affirmative claims against the Company, the Court dismissed all of Mr. Swartz's claims except one claim in which Mr. Swartz contends he is entitled to reimbursement from the Company for taxes he paid in connection with his 2002 Separation Agreement. In July 2013, the parties reached an agreement in principle to resolve the matter, with Mr. Swartz agreeing to release the Company from any claims to monetary amounts related to compensation, retention or other arrangements alleged to have existed between him and the Company. Although the parties have reached an agreement in principle, a final settlement agreement has not yet been executed.
With respect to Mr. Walsh, in June 2002, the Company filed a civil complaint against him for breach of fiduciary duty, inducing breaches of fiduciary duty and related wrongful conduct involving a $20 million payment by Tyco, $10 million of which was paid to Mr. Walsh with the balance paid to a charity of which Mr. Walsh is trustee. The payment was purportedly made for Mr. Walsh's assistance in arranging the Company's acquisition of The CIT Group, Inc. Separately, Mr. Walsh filed a New York state court claim against the Company asserting his entitlement to indemnification. In March 2013, Mr. Walsh and the Company entered into a settlement agreement resolving all claims they had against each other related to these lawsuits with no payments made by either party.
Environmental Matters
Tyco 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 September 27, 2013 , Tyco concluded that it was probable that it would incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $74 million to $162 million . As of September 27, 2013 , Tyco concluded that the best estimate within this range is approximately $105 million , of which $82 million is included in Accrued and other current liabilities and Accounts payable and $23 million is included in Other liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The majority of the liabilities described above relate to ongoing remediation efforts at a facility in the Company's Global Products segment located in Marinette, Wisconsin, which the Company acquired in 1990 in connection with its acquisition of, among other things, the Ansul product line. Prior to Tyco's acquisition, Ansul manufactured arsenic-based agricultural herbicides at the Marinette facility, which resulted in significant arsenic contamination of soil and groundwater on the Marinette site and in parts of the adjoining Menominee River. Ansul has been engaged in ongoing remediation efforts at the Marinette site since 1990, and in February 2009 entered into an Administrative Consent Order (the "Consent Order") with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to address the presence of arsenic at the Marinette site. Under this agreement, Ansul's principal obligations are to contain the arsenic contamination on the site, pump and treat on-site groundwater, dredge, treat and

26
Table of Contents

properly dispose of contaminated sediments in the adjoining river areas, and monitor contamination levels on an ongoing basis. Activities completed under the Consent Order since 2009 include the installation of a subsurface barrier wall around the facility to contain contaminated groundwater, the installation of a groundwater extraction and treatment system and the dredging and offsite disposal of treated river sediment. As a result of treatability studies concluded during the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company became aware that additional river sediment beyond what was originally planned would require treatment under the Consent Order for river sediment remediation. This caused the Company to increase its agreed upon remedial activities through the fall of 2013 in order to achieve compliance with the Consent Order. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the deadline for completing the remediation was extended through December 31, 2013, and the Company intends to complete the activities required under the Consent Order within the extended timeframe. As a result of the increased level of remediation required, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $100 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the first half of the year ended September 27, 2013. As of September 27, 2013 , the Company concluded that its remaining remediation and monitoring costs related to the Marinette facility were in the range of approximately $62 million to $137 million . The Company's best estimate within that range is approximately $93 million , of which $79 million is included in Accrued and other current liabilities and Accounts payable and $14 million is included in Other liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company recorded $17 million and $11 million during the years ended September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011 , respectively, within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Since fiscal 2009, the year in which the Company received the Consent Order, the Company has incurred environmental remediation costs net of insurance recoveries of $132 million . Although the Company has recorded its best estimate of the costs that it will incur to remediate and monitor the arsenic contamination at the Marinette facility, it is possible that technological, regulatory or enforcement developments, the results of environmental studies or other factors could change the Company's expectations with respect to future charges and cash outlays, and such changes could be material to the Company's future results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Asbestos Matters
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries along with numerous other companies are named as defendants in personal injury lawsuits based on alleged exposure to asbestos containing materials. These cases typically involve product liability claims based primarily on allegations of manufacture, sale or distribution of industrial products that either contained asbestos or were attached to or used with asbestos containing components manufactured by third parties. Each case typically names between dozens to hundreds of corporate defendants. While the Company has observed an increase in the number of these lawsuits over the past several years, including lawsuits by plaintiffs with mesothelioma related claims, a large percentage of these suits have not presented viable legal claims and, as a result, have been dismissed by the courts. The Company's historical strategy has been to mount a vigorous defense aimed at having unsubstantiated suits dismissed, and, where appropriate, settling suits before trial. Although a large percentage of litigated suits have been dismissed, the Company cannot predict the extent to which it will be successful in resolving lawsuits in the future. In addition, the Company continues to assess its strategy for resolving asbestos claims. Due to the number of claims and limited amount of assets held by Yarway Corporation ("Yarway"), one of the Company's indirect subsidiaries, on April 22, 2013 Yarway filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. As a result of this filing, all asbestos claims against Yarway have been stayed pending confirmation of a plan of reorganization by the Bankruptcy Court. Yarway's goal is to negotiate, obtain approval of, and consummate a plan of reorganization that establishes an appropriately funded trust to provide for the fair and equitable payment of legitimate current and future Yarway asbestos claims, accompanied by appropriate injunctive relief permanently protecting Yarway and certain other protected parties from any further asbestos claims arising from products manufactured, sold, and/or distributed by Yarway. Upon confirmation of such plan of reorganization, the Company expects to deconsolidate Yarway. As a result of filing the voluntary petition during the year, the Company recorded an expected loss upon deconsolidation of $10 million related to the Yarway bankruptcy petition. Although the terms of Yarway's plan of reorganization are unknown at this time, the Company does not expect them to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
As of September 27, 2013 , the Company has determined that there were approximately 5,200 claims pending against it, its subsidiaries or entities for which the Company has assumed responsibility in connection with acquisitions and divestitures. This amount reflects the Company's current estimate of the number of viable claims made against such entities and includes adjustments for claims that are not actively being prosecuted, identify incorrect defendants, are duplicative of other actions or for which the Company is indemnified.
The Company's estimate of its liability and corresponding insurance recovery for pending and future claims and defense costs is based on the Company's historical claim experience, and estimates of the number and resolution cost of potential future claims that may be filed. The Company's legal strategy for resolving claims also impacts these estimates. The Company considers various trends and developments in evaluating the period of time (the look-back period) over which historical claim and settlement experience is used to estimate and value claims reasonably projected to be made in the future during a defined period of time (the look-forward period). On a quarterly basis, the Company assesses the sufficiency of its estimated liability

27
Table of Contents

for pending and future claims and defense costs by evaluating actual experience regarding claims filed, settled and dismissed, and amounts paid in settlements. In addition to claims and settlement experience, the Company considers additional quantitative and qualitative factors such as changes in legislation, the legal environment, and the Company's defense strategy. It also evaluates the recoverability of its insurance receivable on a quarterly basis. The Company evaluates all of these factors and determines whether a change in the estimate of its liability for pending and future claims and defense costs or insurance receivable is warranted.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company determined that a look-back period of three years was more appropriate than a five year period because the Company had experienced a higher and more consistent level of claims activity and settlement costs in the past three years. The Company also revised its look-forward period from seven years to fifteen years , or 2027. The Company's decision to revise its look-forward period was primarily based on improvements in the consistency of observable data and the Company's more extensive experience with asbestos claims since the look-forward period was originally established in 2005. The revisions to the Company's look-forward and look-back periods were not applied to claims made against Yarway. Excluding these claims, the Company believed it could make a more reliable estimate of pending and future claims beyond seven years. The Company believes valuation of pending claims and future claims to be filed through 2027 produced a reasonable estimate of its asbestos liability, which it recorded in the consolidated financial statements on an undiscounted basis. The effect of the change in the Company's look-back and look-forward periods reduced income from continuing operations before income taxes and net income by approximately $90 million and $55 million , respectively. In addition, the effect of the change increased the Company's basic and diluted loss from continuing operations by $0.12 per share and decreased the Company's basic and diluted net income by $0.12 per share.
The Company's estimate of asbestos related insurance recoveries represents estimated amounts due to the Company for previously paid and settled claims and the probable reimbursements relating to its estimated liability for pending and future claims. In determining the amount of insurance recoverable, the Company considers a number of factors, including available insurance, allocation methodologies, and the solvency and creditworthiness of insurers. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company reached an agreement with one of its primary insurance carriers for asbestos related claims. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company agreed with the insurance carrier to accept a lump sum cash payment of $97 million in respect of certain policies, and has reached a coverage-in-place agreement with the insurance carrier with respect to certain claims. Upon receipt of the payments from the insurance carrier in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company terminated a cost-sharing agreement that it had entered into with an entity that it had acquired a business from several decades ago and as a result, has access to all of the insurance policies and is responsible for all liabilities arising from asbestos claims made against the subsidiary that was acquired.
As of September 27, 2013 , the Company's estimated net liability of $169 million was recorded within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as a liability for pending and future claims and related defense costs of $321 million , and separately as an asset for insurance recoveries of $152 million . The Company believes that its asbestos related liabilities and insurance related assets as of September 27, 2013 are appropriate. Similarly, as of September 28, 2012 , the Company's estimated net liability of $155 million was recorded within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as a liability for pending and future claims and related defense costs of $401 million , and separately as an asset for insurance recoveries of $246 million .
The net liabilities reflected in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet represent the Company's best estimates of probable losses for the look-forward periods described above. It is reasonably possible that losses will be incurred for claims made subsequent to such look-forward periods. However, due to the inherent uncertainty and lack of reliable trend data in predicting losses beyond 2027, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the amount of losses beyond such date. Accordingly, no accrual has been recorded for any costs which may be incurred for claims which may be made subsequent to 2027. With respect to claims made against Yarway, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate losses beyond what it has accrued because it is uncertain what the impact of Yarway's reorganization plan under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code will be on the Company. However, the Company does not expect the impact to be materially adverse to its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
The amounts recorded by the Company for asbestos-related liabilities and insurance-related assets are based on the Company's strategies for resolving its asbestos claims, currently available information, and a number of estimates and assumptions. Key variables and assumptions include the number and type of new claims that are filed each year, the average cost of resolution of claims, the resolution of coverage issues with insurance carriers, amount of insurance and the solvency risk with respect to the Company's insurance carriers. Many of these factors are closely linked, such that a change in one variable or assumption will impact one or more of the others, and no single variable or assumption predominately influences the determination of the Company's asbestos-related liabilities and insurance-related assets. Furthermore, predictions with respect to these variables are subject to greater uncertainty in the later portion of the projection period. Other factors that may affect the Company's liability and cash payments for asbestos-related matters include uncertainties surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case, reforms of state or federal tort legislation and the applicability of

28
Table of Contents

insurance policies among subsidiaries. As a result, actual liabilities or insurance recoveries could be significantly higher or lower than those recorded if assumptions used in the Company's calculations vary significantly from actual results.
Income Tax Matters
Tyco and its subsidiaries' income tax returns are examined periodically by various tax authorities. In connection with these examinations, tax authorities, including the IRS, have raised issues and proposed tax adjustments, in particular with respect to years preceding the 2007 Separation. The issues and proposed adjustments related to such years are generally subject to the sharing provisions of a tax sharing agreement entered in 2007 with Covidien and TE Connectivity (the "2007 Tax Sharing Agreement") under which Tyco, Covidien and TE Connectivity share 27%, 42% and 31%, respectively, of shared income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to Tyco's, Covidien's and TE Connectivity's U.S. and certain non-U.S. income tax returns. The costs and expenses associated with the management of these shared tax liabilities are generally shared equally among the parties. Tyco has previously disclosed that in connection with U.S. federal tax audits, the IRS has raised a number of issues and proposed tax adjustments for periods beginning with the 1997 tax year. Although Tyco has been able to resolve substantially all of the issues and adjustments proposed by the IRS for tax years through 2007, it has not been able to resolve matters related to the treatment of certain intercompany debt transactions during the period. As a result, on June 20, 2013, Tyco received Notices of Deficiency from the IRS asserting that several of Tyco's former U.S. subsidiaries owe additional taxes of $883.3 million plus penalties of $154 million based on audits of the 1997 through 2000 tax years of Tyco and its subsidiaries as they existed at that time. In addition, Tyco received Final Partnership Administrative Adjustments for certain U.S. partnerships owned by former U.S. subsidiaries with respect to which an additional tax deficiency of approximately $30 million is expected to be asserted. These amounts exclude interest and do not reflect the impact on subsequent periods if the IRS position described below is ultimately proved correct.
The IRS asserted in the Notices of Deficiency that substantially all of Tyco's intercompany debt originated during the 1997 - 2000 period should not be treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and has disallowed interest and related deductions recognized on U.S. income tax returns totaling approximately $2.9 billion. Tyco strongly disagrees with the IRS position and has filed petitions with the U.S. Tax Court contesting the IRS proposed adjustments. Tyco believes that it has meritorious defenses for its tax filings, that the IRS positions with regard to these matters are inconsistent with the applicable tax laws and existing Treasury regulations, and that the previously reported taxes for the years in question are appropriate.
No payments with respect to these matters would be required until the dispute is definitively resolved, which, based on the experience of other companies, could take several years. Tyco believes that its income tax reserves and the liabilities recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet for the tax sharing agreements continue to be appropriate. However, the ultimate resolution of these matters, and the impact of that resolution, are uncertain and could have a material impact on Tyco's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In particular, if the IRS is successful in asserting its claim, it would have an adverse impact on interest deductions related to the same intercompany debt in subsequent time periods, totaling approximately $6.6 billion, which is expected to be disallowed by the IRS.
For a detailed discussion of contingencies related to Tyco's income taxes, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Compliance Matters
As previously reported in the Company's periodic filings, in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2012, the Company settled with the Department of Justice ("DOJ") and the SEC charges related to alleged improper payments made by the Company's subsidiaries and agents in recent years, and agreed to pay approximately $26 million in fines, disgorgement and prejudgment interest to the DOJ and SEC, which the Company had previously reserved in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company paid the DOJ approximately $13 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and paid approximately $13 million to the SEC in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.
Covidien and TE Connectivity agreed, in connection with the 2007 Separation, to cooperate with the Company in its responses regarding these matters, and agreed that liabilities primarily related to the former Healthcare and Electronics businesses of the Company would be assigned to Covidien and TE Connectivity, respectively. As a result, Covidien and TE Connectivity have agreed to contribute approximately $5 million and immaterial amounts, respectively, toward the aforementioned $26 million.
Other Matters
During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, an adverse judgment was entered by the United States District Court for the District of Colorado regarding an insurance claim made on behalf of Sonitrol Corporation, a former subsidiary of the Company, for insurance coverage for damages arising from a burglary and fire occurring at a warehouse monitored by Sonitrol in

29
Table of Contents

December 2002. The judgment reversed the District Court's prior finding that Sonitrol's actions were not the type of conduct that was uninsurable based on public policy grounds. As a result, the Company reversed an insurance receivable of $26.5 million within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the quarter ended June 28, 2013. The Company is appealing the District Court's ruling to the United States Circuit Court for the Tenth Circuit and will retry the underlying damages action against Sonitrol in Colorado state court.
In addition to the foregoing, the Company is subject to claims and suits, including from time to time, contractual disputes and product and general liability claims, incidental to present and former operations, acquisitions and dispositions. With respect to many of these claims, the Company either self-insures or maintains insurance through third-parties, with varying deductibles. While the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the resolution of any such proceedings, whether the underlying claims are covered by insurance or not, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows beyond amounts recorded for such matters.

Dividends proposed by Tyco's Board of Directors are subject to shareholder approval. Shareholders approved an annual cash dividend of $0.64 at the Company's annual general meeting on March 6, 2013, covering quarterly dividend payments from May 2013 through February 2014. Shareholders approved cash dividends of $0.50 (pre-2012 Separation) and $0.30 (reflecting the impact of the 2012 Separation) at the annual meeting held on March 7, 2012 and the special general meeting held on September 17, 2012, respectively, covering quarterly dividend payments through February 2013. Shareholders approved an annual dividend of $1.00 (pre-2012 Separation) at the annual meeting held on and March 9, 2011 covering quarterly dividend payments through February 2012.
Dividend Policy
The Company makes dividend payments from its contributed surplus equity position. These payments are made free of Swiss withholding taxes and are effectively denominated in U.S. dollars. Under Swiss law, the authority to declare dividends is vested in the Company's general meeting of shareholders.
We expect to obtain shareholder approval of the annual dividend amount out of contributed surplus each year at our annual general meeting, and we expect to distribute the approved dividend amount in four quarterly installments, on dates determined by our Board of Directors. The timing, declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of our common shares will depend upon many factors, including our financial condition and results of operations, the capital requirements of our businesses, industry practice and any other relevant factors. Future dividends will be proposed by our Board of Directors and will require shareholder approval.

Item 7.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the Selected Financial Data and our Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The Company's actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including but not limited to those under the headings "Risk Factors" and "Forward-Looking Information".
Organization
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated results of Tyco International Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Switzerland, and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as "we", the "Company" or "Tyco"). The financial statements have been prepared in United States dollars ("USD"), in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").
We operate and report financial and operating information in the following three segments:
•
North America Installation & Services ("NA Installation & Services") designs, sells, installs, services and monitors electronic security systems and fire detection and suppression systems for commercial, industrial, retail, institutional and governmental customers in North America.
•
Rest of World Installation & Services ("ROW Installation & Services") designs, sells, installs, services and monitors electronic security systems and fire detection and suppression systems for commercial, industrial, retail, residential, small business, institutional and governmental customers in the Rest of World ("ROW") regions.
•
Global Products designs, manufactures and sells fire protection, security and life safety products, including intrusion security, anti-theft devices, breathing apparatus and access control and video management systems, for commercial, industrial, retail, residential, small business, institutional and governmental customers worldwide, including products installed and serviced by our NA and ROW Installation & Services segments.
We also provide general corporate services to our segments which is reported as a fourth, non-operating segment, Corporate and Other. For the year ended September 30, 2011, Corporate and Other includes the Company's former Electrical and Metal Products business which was divested in the first quarter of 2011. References to the segment data are to the Company's continuing operations.
Business Overview
We are a leading global provider of security products and services, fire detection and suppression products and services and life safety products. We utilize our extensive global footprint of over 1,100 locations, including manufacturing facilities, service and distribution centers, monitoring centers and sales offices, to provide solutions and localized expertise to our global customer base. We provide an extensive range of product and service offerings to over 3 million customers in more than 100 countries through multiple channels. Our revenues are broadly diversified across the United States and Canada (collectively “North America”); Central America and South America (collectively “Latin America”); Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (collectively “EMEA”) and the Asia- Pacific geographic areas. The following chart reflects our fiscal 2013 net revenue by geographic area.

36
Table of Contents

Fiscal 2013 Net Revenue by Geographic Area
Our end-use customers, to whom we may sell directly or through wholesalers, distributors, commercial builders or contractors, are also broadly diversified and include:
•
Commercial customers, including residential and commercial property developers, financial institutions, food service businesses and commercial enterprises;
•
Industrial customers, including companies in the oil and gas, power generation, mining, petrochemical and other industries;
•
Retail customers, including international, regional and local consumer outlets, from national chains to specialty stores;
•
Institutional customers, including a broad range of healthcare facilities, academic institutions, museums and foundations;
•
Governmental customers, including federal, state and local governments, defense installations, mass transportation networks, public utilities and other government-affiliated entities and applications;
•
Residential and small business customers outside of North America, including owners of single family homes and local providers of a wide range of goods and services.
As a global business with a varied customer base and an extensive range of products and services, our operations and results are impacted by global, regional and industry specific factors, and by political factors. Our geographic diversity and the diversity in our customer base and our products and services has helped mitigate the impact of any one industry or the economy of any single country on our consolidated operating results, financial condition and cash flows. Due to the global nature of our business and the variety of our customers, products and services, no single factor is predominantly used to forecast Company results. Rather, management monitors a number of factors to develop expectations regarding future results, including the activity of key competitors and customers, order rates for longer lead time projects, and capital expenditure budgets and spending patterns of our customers. We also monitor trends throughout the commercial and residential fire and security markets, including building codes and fire-safety standards. Our commercial installation businesses are impacted by trends in commercial construction starts, while our residential business, which is located outside of North America, is impacted by new housing starts.

Recent Transactions
Effective September 28, 2012, Tyco completed the spin-offs of The ADT Corporation ("ADT") and Pentair Ltd. (formerly known as Tyco Flow Control International Ltd. ("Tyco Flow Control")), formerly our North American residential security and flow control businesses, respectively, into separate, publicly traded companies in the form of a distribution to Tyco shareholders. Immediately following the spin-off, Pentair, Inc. was merged with a subsidiary of Tyco Flow Control in a tax-free, all-stock merger ("the Merger"), with Pentair Ltd. ("Pentair") succeeding Pentair Inc. as an independent publicly traded company. The distribution was made on September 28, 2012, to Tyco shareholders of record on September 17, 2012. The distributions, the Merger and related transactions are collectively referred to herein as the "2012 Separation". As a result of the distribution, the operations of Tyco's former flow control and North American residential security businesses are classified as discontinued operations in all periods presented.
As a result of the 2012 Separation, we incurred separation related costs during 2013 including professional services, marketing and information technology related costs, and we expect to continue to incur separation related costs during fiscal 2014. During 2012, we incurred separation related costs including debt refinancing, tax restructuring, professional services, restructuring and impairment charges and employee-related costs. During 2013 , the Company incurred pre-tax costs related to the 2012 Separation of $69 million recorded within continuing operations and pre-tax gain of $8 million within discontinued operations. During 2012 , the Company incurred pre-tax costs related to the 2012 Separation of $561 million recorded within continuing operations and $278 million within discontinued operations. Costs incurred within continuing operations in fiscal 2012 include a charge of $453 million due to the early extinguishment of debt, as the Company refinanced its long-term debt as a result of the 2012 Separation. During fiscal 2013 , the Company paid $165 million in separation costs, all of which is included within continuing operations. During fiscal 2012 , the Company paid $186 million in separation costs, $18 million of which is included within continuing operations. During fiscal 2011, the Company incurred pre-tax costs related to the 2012 Separation of $24 million recorded within discontinued operations. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net Revenue:
Fiscal 2013
Net revenue for the year ended September 27, 2013 increased by $244 million , or 2.3% , to $10,647 million as compared to net revenue of $10,403 million for the year ended September 28, 2012 . On an organic basis, net revenue grew by $130

Table of Contents

million , or 1.3% , year over year, primarily as a result of revenue growth in our Global Products segment and to a lesser extent in our ROW Installation & Services segment, partially offset by a decline in our NA Installation & Services segment driven by our security business. Net revenue was favorably impacted by acquisitions of $168 million , or 1.6% , primarily within our ROW Installation & Services and Global Products segments. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily in our ROW Installation & Services segment, unfavorably impacted net revenue by $55 million , or 0.5% . Net revenue growth was also unfavorably impacted by divestitures of $38 million , or 0.4% , primarily in our NA and ROW Installation & Services segments.
Fiscal 2012
Net revenue for the year ended September 28, 2012 decreased by $154 million , or 1.5% , to $10,403 million as compared to net revenue of $10,557 million for the year ended September 30, 2011 . On an organic basis, net revenue grew by $247 million , or 2.4% year over year, primarily driven by our Global Products segment. Net revenue was unfavorably impacted by the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures of $71 million , or 0.7% , primarily due to the sale of a majority interest the Company's former Electrical and Metal Products business, which contributed $347 million of net revenue during the year ended September 30, 2011, partially offset by the acquisitions of Chemguard and Visonic within the Company's Global Products segment. Unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates impacted net revenue by $226 million , or 2.1% . In addition, because the Company's fiscal year ends on the last Friday in September, fiscal 2012 consisted of 52 weeks as compared to 53 weeks in fiscal 2011. As a result, fiscal year 2011 includes an estimated $98 million of revenue from the additional week.
Operating Income:
Operating income for the year ended September 27, 2013 increased $124 million , or 18.1% , to $809 million , as compared to operating income of $685 million for the year ended September 28, 2012 . Operating income for the year ended September 27, 2013 was favorably impacted by our net revenue growth, a smaller corporate footprint as a result of the 2012 Separation, as well as a higher mix of service revenue and operational improvements across all of our businesses. Operating income for the year ended September 27, 2013 was also favorably impacted by a $99 million decline in net asbestos charges. Operating income for the year ended September 27, 2013 was unfavorably impacted by an $83 million increase in environmental remediation charges as well as an increase in restructuring and repositioning charges. Operating income for the year ended September 27, 2013 was also unfavorably impacted by a charge of $27 million resulting from the write-off of an insurance receivable that had been established in respect of a legacy claim. See Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our asbestos, environmental and legacy legal matters.
Operating income for the year ended September 28, 2012 decreased $297 million , or 30.2% , to $685 million , as compared to operating income of $982 million for the year ended September 30, 2011 . Operating income for the year ended September 28, 2012 declined primarily due to the net gain on divestitures of $224 million that was recognized in the prior year, primarily related to a $248 million net gain related to the sale of a majority interest in the Company's former Electrical and Metal products business.

We continue to identify and pursue opportunities for cost savings through restructuring activities and workforce reductions to improve operating efficiencies across our businesses. Additionally, we initiated certain global actions during fiscal 2013 designed to reduce our cost structure and improve future profitability by streamlining operations and better aligning functions, which we refer to as repositioning actions. The Company expects to incur approximately $75 million to $100 million of restructuring and repositioning charges in fiscal 2014. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Tyco common shareholders:
Interest Income and Expense
Interest income was $17 million in 2013 , as compared to $19 million and $27 million in 2012 and 2011 , respectively. Interest income decreased in 2013 primarily due to decreased investment yields compared to 2012 and 2011 .
Interest expense was $100 million in 2013 , as compared to $209 million and $240 million in 2012 and 2011 , respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on total debt outstanding was 6.5% as of both September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 and 5.9% as of September 30, 2011 . The decreases in interest expense and fluctuations in the weighted-average interest rate are primarily related to savings realized from the $2.6 billion debt redemptions in 2012 and from the replacement of higher coupon notes with lower coupon notes during 2011. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other Expense, Net
Other expense, net was $29 million in 2013, as compared to $454 million and $5 million in 2012 and 2011 , respectively. Other expense, net decreased in 2013 due to the loss on extinguishment of debt of $453 million that was recorded during 2012.
Effective Income Tax Rate
Our effective income tax rate was 17.9% during the year ended September 27, 2013 . Our effective tax rate is affected by the mix of jurisdictions in which income is earned. Our effective tax rate for the year was favorably impacted by the impact on taxes of the environmental remediation charges incurred during the second quarter of 2013, partially offset by Tax Sharing Agreement adjustments incurred throughout the year and enacted tax law changes in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Our effective income tax rate for the year ended September 28, 2012 was not meaningful primarily as a result of separation related charges which were incurred for which no tax benefit was recognized, as well as a valuation allowance of $235 million recorded due to net operating loss carryforwards which we do not expect to realize in future periods. Additionally, our effective income tax rate for the year ended September 28, 2012 was impacted by enacted tax law changes, favorable audit resolutions in multiple jurisdictions and a non-recurring item generating a tax benefit.
Our effective income tax rate was 17.5% during the year ended September 30, 2011 . The effective income tax rate was impacted by a tax charge recorded in conjunction with the sale of a majority interest in our Electrical and Metal Products business during the first quarter of 2011. The effective income tax rate was positively impacted by favorable audit resolutions in multiple jurisdictions during 2011.
The rate can vary from period to period due to discrete items such as the settlement of income tax audits and changes in tax laws, as well as recurring factors, such as the geographic mix of income before taxes.
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $2.0 billion and $1.8 billion as of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , respectively, relates principally to the uncertainty of the utilization of certain deferred tax assets, primarily tax loss and credit carryforwards in various jurisdictions. Specifically, the valuation allowance as of September 27, 2013 and September 28,2012 includes separation related charges associated with the early extinguishment of debt which further increased a net operating loss carryforward which the Company does not expect to realize in future periods. The valuation allowance was calculated and recorded when the Company determined that it was more-likely-than-not that all or a portion of our deferred tax assets would not be realized. The Company believes that it will generate sufficient future taxable income to realize the tax benefits related to the remaining net deferred tax assets on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across our global operations. We record tax liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These tax liabilities are reflected net of related tax loss carryforwards. We adjust these liabilities in light of changing facts and circumstances; however, due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the tax liabilities. Substantially all of these potential tax liabilities are recorded in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as payment is not expected within one year.

Net revenue decreased $71 million , or 1.8% , to $3,891 million for the year ended September 27, 2013 as compared to $3,962 million for the year ended September 28, 2012 . Organic revenue decline for the year ended September 27, 2013 was primarily driven by a decline in revenue in the North America security business as a result of the non-residential construction market and project selectivity, partially offset by increased service revenue growth in our North America fire business. Net revenue was unfavorably impacted by $28 million , or 0.7% , primarily due to the divestiture of our North America guarding business in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.
Net revenue decreased $60 million , or 1.5% , to $3,962 million for the year ended September 28, 2012 as compared to $4,022 million for the year ended September 30, 2011 . Organic revenue decline for the year ended September 28, 2012 was driven by slow non-residential market growth as well as installation project selectivity in the North America security business, partially offset by increased service revenue. Net revenue for the year ended September 28, 2012 was impacted by the 53 rd  week of revenue during fiscal 2011, which is included within Other above.
Operating Income
Operating income for the year ended September 27, 2013 increased $14 million , or 3.7% , to $388 million , as compared to operating income of $374 million for the year ended September 28, 2012 . Operating income for the year ended September 27, 2013 increased due to a higher mix of service revenue and efficiencies gained through improved installation execution and project selectivity in the North America security business. Additionally, the year ended September 28, 2012 included a charge of $29 million for the settlement of an ERISA partial withdrawal liability assessment. These items were partially offset by unfavorable impacts due to separation costs as well as dis-synergy costs related to the 2012 separation.
Operating income for the year ended September 28, 2012 decreased $51 million , or 12.0% , to $374 million , as compared to operating income of $425 million for the year ended September 30, 2011 . Operating income for the year ended September 28, 2012 declined due to restructuring and asset impairment charges related to organizational realignment.

Corporate and Other
Corporate expense decreased $179 million , or 35.9% , to $319 million for the year ended September 27, 2013 as compared to $498 million for the year ended September 28, 2012 . The decrease in Corporate expense for the year ended September 27, 2013 was primarily due to a smaller corporate footprint as a result of the 2012 Separation as well as lower separation costs. Corporate expense also decreased due to a decline in net asbestos charges to $12 million in the year ended September 27, 2013 from $111 million in the prior year period. The net asbestos charges for the year ended September 27, 2013 primarily relate to the Yarway Corporation, one of the Company's indirect subsidiaries, which filed for bankruptcy protection during the third quarter of fiscal 2013. The net asbestos charges during the year ended September 28, 2012 were primarily due to the Company revising its look-back period for historical claim experience for the past five years to the past three years, as well as its look-forward period related to the projection of future claims from seven years to fifteen years. The decreases in Corporate expense were partially offset by a charge of $27 million resulting from the write-off of an insurance receivable that had been established in respect of a legacy claim as well as a net benefit in the prior year period of approximately $33 million , primarily resulting from the reversal of a compensation reserve established in respect of legacy litigation with former management. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our asbestos and legacy legal matters.
Corporate expense increased $355 million , or 248.3% , to $498 million for the year ended September 28, 2012 as compared to an expense of $143 million for the year ended September 30, 2011 . The increase in corporate expense was primarily due to the net gain on divestiture of $253 million during the year ended September 30, 2011 as a result of the divestiture of a majority interest in the Company's former Electrical and Metal Products business in fiscal 2011. Corporate expense was favorably impacted by cost containment initiatives during the year ended September 28, 2012 .

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. The following accounting policies are based on, among other things, judgments and assumptions made by management that include inherent risks and uncertainties. Management's estimates are based on the relevant information available at the end of each period.
Depreciation and Amortization Methods for Security Monitoring-Related Assets —Tyco considers assets related to the acquisition of new customers in its electronic security business in three asset categories: internally generated residential subscriber systems outside of North America, internally generated commercial subscriber systems (collectively referred to as subscriber system assets) and customer accounts acquired through the ADT dealer program primarily outside of North America (referred to as dealer intangibles). Subscriber system assets include installed property, plant and equipment for which Tyco retains ownership and deferred costs directly related to the customer acquisition and system installation. Subscriber system assets and any deferred revenue resulting from the customer acquisition are accounted for over the expected life of the subscriber. In certain geographical areas where the Company has a large number of customers that behave in a similar manner over time, the Company accounts for subscriber system assets and related deferred revenue using pools, with separate pools for the components of subscriber system assets and any related deferred revenue based on the month and year of acquisition. The Company depreciates its pooled subscriber system assets and related deferred revenue using an accelerated method with lives up to 15 years. The accelerated method utilizes declining balance rates based on geographical area ranging from 135% to 360% for commercial subscriber pools and dealer intangibles and converts to a straight line methodology when the resulting depreciation charge is greater than that from the accelerated method. The Company uses a straight-line method with a 14-year life for non-pooled subscriber system assets (primarily in Europe, Latin America and Asia) and related deferred revenue, with remaining balances written off upon customer termination.
Revenue Recognition —Contract sales for the installation of fire protection systems, large security intruder systems and other construction-related projects are recorded primarily under the percentage-of-completion method. Profits recognized on contracts in process are based upon estimated contract revenue and related total cost of the project at completion. The risk of this methodology is its dependence upon estimates of costs at completion, which are subject to the uncertainties inherent in long-term contracts. Provisions for anticipated losses are made in the period in which they become determinable.
Sales of security monitoring systems may have multiple elements, including equipment, installation, monitoring services and maintenance agreements. We assess our revenue arrangements to determine the appropriate units of accounting. When ownership of the system is transferred to the customer, each deliverable provided under the arrangement is considered a separate unit of accounting. Revenues associated with sale of equipment and related installations are recognized once delivery, installation and customer acceptance is completed, while the revenue for monitoring and maintenance services are recognized as services are rendered. Amounts assigned to each unit of accounting are based on an allocation of total arrangement consideration using a hierarchy of estimated selling price for the deliverables. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on Vendor Specific Objective Evidence ("VSOE") if available, Third Party Evidence ("TPE") if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price if neither VSOE or TPE is available. Revenue recognized for equipment and installation is limited to the lesser of their allocated amounts under the estimated selling price hierarchy or the non-contingent up-front consideration received at the time of installation, since collection of future amounts under the arrangement with the customer is contingent upon the delivery of monitoring and maintenance services.

Table of Contents

Product discounts granted are based on the terms of arrangements with direct, indirect and other market participants. Rebates are estimated based on sales terms, historical experience and trend analysis.
Loss Contingencies —Accruals are recorded for various contingencies including legal proceedings, self-insurance and other claims that arise in the normal course of business. The accruals are based on judgment, the probability of losses and, where applicable, the consideration of opinions of internal and/or external legal counsel and actuarially determined estimates. Additionally, the Company records receivables from third party insurers when recovery has been determined to be probable.
Asbestos-Related Contingencies and Insurance Receivables —We and certain of our subsidiaries along with numerous other companies are named as defendants in personal injury lawsuits based on alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials. We estimate the liability and corresponding insurance recovery for pending and future claims and defense costs based on the Company's historical claim experience, and estimates of the number and resolution cost of potential future claims that may be filed. The Company's legal strategy for resolving claims also impacts these estimates. The Company considers various trends and developments in evaluating the period of time (the look-back period) over which historical claim and settlement experience is used to estimate and value claims reasonably projected to be made in the future during a defined period of time (the look-forward period). On a quarterly basis, the Company assesses the sufficiency of its estimated liability for pending and future claims and defense costs by evaluating actual experience regarding claims filed, settled and dismissed, and amounts paid in settlements. In addition to claims and settlement experience, the Company considers additional quantitative and qualitative factors such as changes in legislation, the legal environment, and the Company's defense strategy. The Company also evaluates the recoverability of its insurance receivable on a quarterly basis. The Company evaluates all of these factors and determines whether a change in the estimate of its liability for pending and future claims and defense costs or insurance receivable is warranted.
In connection with the recognition of liabilities for asbestos-related matters, we record asbestos-related insurance recoveries that are probable. The estimate of asbestos-related insurance recoveries represents estimated amounts due to us for previously paid and settled claims and the probable reimbursements relating to estimated liability for pending and future claims. In determining the amount of insurance recoverable, we consider available insurance, allocation methodologies, solvency and creditworthiness of the insurers. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion on management's judgments applied in the recognition and measurement of asbestos-related assets and liabilities.
Insurable Liabilities —The Company records liabilities for its workers' compensation, product, general and auto liabilities. The determination of these liabilities and related expenses is dependent on claims experience. For most of these liabilities, claims incurred but not yet reported are estimated by utilizing actuarial valuations based upon historical claims experience. Certain insurable liabilities are discounted using a risk-free rate of return when the pattern and timing of the future obligation is reliably determinable. The Company records receivables from third party insurers when recovery has been determined to be probable.
Income Taxes —In determining taxable income for financial statement purposes, we must make certain estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments affect the calculation of certain tax liabilities and the determination of the recoverability of certain of the deferred tax assets, which arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense.
In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets we consider all available positive and negative evidence including our past operating results, the existence of cumulative losses in the most recent years and our forecast of future taxable income. In estimating future taxable income, we develop assumptions including the amount of future pre-tax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses.
We currently have recorded valuation allowances that we will maintain until it is more-likely-than-not the deferred tax assets will be realized. Our income tax expense recorded in the future may be reduced to the extent of decreases in our valuation allowances. The realization of our remaining deferred tax assets is primarily dependent on future taxable income in the appropriate jurisdiction. Any reduction in future taxable income including but not limited to any future restructuring activities may require that we record an additional valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. An increase in the valuation allowance could result in additional income tax expense in such period and could have a significant impact on our future earnings.
Changes in tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. Management records the effect of a tax rate or law change on the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities in the period of enactment. Future tax rate or law changes could have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Table of Contents

In addition, the calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across our global operations. We recognize potential liabilities and record tax liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These tax liabilities are reflected net of related tax loss carryforwards. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances; however, due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the tax liabilities. If our estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, an additional charge to expense would result. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be less than the recorded amounts, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairments —Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment annually and more frequently if triggering events occur. In performing these assessments, management relies on and considers a number of factors, including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, comparable market transactions (to the extent available), other market data and the Company's overall market capitalization.
We elected to make the first day of the fourth quarter the annual impairment assessment date for all goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. In the first step of the goodwill impairment test, we compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. Fair value for the goodwill impairment test is determined utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis based on forecast cash flows (including estimated underlying revenue and operating income growth rates) discounted using an estimated weighted-average cost of capital for market participants. A market approach, utilizing observable market data such as comparable companies in similar lines of business that are publicly traded or which are part of a public or private transaction (to the extent available), is used to corroborate the discounted cash flow analysis performed at each reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered potentially impaired and further tests are performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. In the second step of the goodwill impairment test, we compare the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying amount of goodwill over its implied fair value. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner that the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination is determined. We allocate the fair value of a reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit, including intangible assets, as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Any excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities represents the implied fair value of goodwill.
We recorded no goodwill impairments in conjunction with our annual goodwill impairment assessment performed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.
Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the annual goodwill impairment test will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. Examples of events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying key assumptions and ultimately impact the estimated fair value of the aforementioned reporting units may include such items as follows:
•
A prolonged downturn in the business environment in which the reporting units operate (i.e. sales volumes and prices) especially in the commercial construction and retailer end markets;
•
An economic recovery that significantly differs from our assumptions in timing or degree;
•
Volatility in equity and debt markets resulting in higher discount rates; and
•
Unexpected regulatory changes.
While historical performance and current expectations have resulted in fair values of goodwill in excess of carrying values, if our assumptions are not realized, it is possible that in the future an impairment charge may need to be recorded. However, it is not possible at this time to determine if an impairment charge would result or if such a charge would be material.
Long-Lived Assets —Asset groups held and used by the Company, including property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be fully recoverable. Tyco performs undiscounted operating cash flow analyses to determine if impairment exists. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment for assets held for use, Tyco groups assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identified. If an impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on fair value. Impairments to long-lived assets to be disposed of are recorded based upon the fair value less cost to sell of the applicable assets. The calculation of the fair value of long-lived assets is based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates,

reflecting varying degrees of perceived risk. Since judgment is involved in determining the fair value and useful lives of long-lived assets, there is a risk that the carrying value of our long-lived assets may be overstated or understated.
Pension and Postretirement Benefits —Our pension expense and obligations are developed from actuarial valuations. Two critical assumptions in determining pension expense and obligations are the discount rate and expected long-term return on plan assets. We evaluate these assumptions at least annually. Other assumptions reflect demographic factors such as retirement, mortality and turnover and are evaluated periodically and updated to reflect our actual experience. Actual results may differ from actuarial assumptions resulting in actuarial gains and losses. For active plans, such actuarial gains and losses will be amortized over the average expected service period of the participants and in the case of inactive plans over the average remaining life expectancy of participants. The discount rate represents the market rate for high-quality fixed income investments and is used to calculate the present value of the expected future cash flows for benefit obligations under our pension plans. A decrease in the discount rate increases the present value of pension benefit obligations. A 25 basis point decrease in the discount rate would increase the present value of pension obligations by approximately $79 million and increase our annual pension expense by approximately $2 million. We consider the relative weighting of plan assets by class, historical performance of asset classes over long-term periods, asset class performance expectations as well as current and future economic conditions in determining the expected long-term return on plan assets. A 25 basis point decrease in the expected long-term return on plan assets would increase our annual pension expense by approximately $5 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
A fundamental objective of the Company is to have sufficient liquidity, balance sheet strength, and financial flexibility to fund the operating and capital requirements of its core businesses around the world. The primary source of funds to finance our operations and capital expenditures is cash generated by operations. In addition, we maintain a commercial paper program, have access to a committed revolving credit facility and have access to equity and debt capital from public and private sources. We continue to balance our operating, investing and financing uses of cash through investments and acquisitions in our core businesses, dividends and share repurchases. In addition, we believe our cash position, amounts available under our credit facility, commercial paper program and cash provided by operating activities will be adequate to cover our operational and business needs in the foreseeable future.
As of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , our cash and cash equivalents, short- and long-term debt, and Tyco shareholder's equity are as follows:

The Company expects to pay (i) approximately $100 million, within the next 12 months, to settle intercompany liabilities due to Yarway and (ii) $163 million to settle certain pre-2012 Separation related tax liabilities. Although the timing and amounts of these payments are subject to a number of uncertainties, the Company expects to issue up to $500 million of long-term debt throughout fiscal 2014 to ensure that sufficient funds are available on a cost-effective basis for these and other general corporate purposes. See Notes 13 and 6, respectively, to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents

Cash flow from operating activities can fluctuate significantly from period to period as working capital needs and the timing of payments for items such as restructuring activities, pension funding, income taxes and other items impact reported cash flow.
The net change in working capital decreased operating cash flow by $415 million in 2013 . The significant changes in working capital included a $213 million decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, an $87 million increase in accounts receivable, and a $34 million increase in inventories, partially offset by an $52 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets.
The net change in working capital decreased operating cash flow by $489 million in 2012 . The significant changes in working capital included a $172 million decrease in income taxes payable, an $80 million decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, a $128 million increase in accounts receivable, an $86 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and a $72 million increase in inventories.
The net change in working capital decreased operating cash flow by $348 million in 2011 . The significant changes in working capital included a $216 million decrease in accrued and other liabilities, a $47 million increase in accounts receivable, a $42 million increase in inventories and a $33 million decrease in accounts payable.
During 2013 , 2012 and 2011 , we paid approximately $84 million , $89 million and $90 million, respectively, in cash related to restructuring activities. See Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our restructuring activities.
In connection with the 2012 Separation, we paid $165 million , $18 million and nil in separation costs during 2013 , 2012 and 2011 , respectively.
During 2013 , 2012 and 2011 , we made environmental remediation payments related to environmental remediation activities for a facility located in Marinette, Wisconsin, of $51 million , $10 million and $5 million, respectively.
During the years ended September 27, 2013 , September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011 we made required contributions of $56 million, $88 million and $63 million, respectively, to our U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans. We also made voluntary contributions of nil during the years ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 and approximately $12 million during the year ended September 30, 2011 to our U.S. plans. The Company anticipates that it will contribute at least the minimum required to its pension plans in 2014 of $25 million for the U.S. plans and $35 million for non-U.S. plans.
Income taxes paid, net of refunds, related to continuing operations were $155 million , $147 million and $121 million in 2013 , 2012 and 2011 , respectively.
Net interest paid related to continuing operations were $79 million , $201 million and $195 million in 2013 , 2012 and 2011 , respectively.
Cash flow from investing activities
Cash flows related to investing activities consist primarily of cash used for capital expenditures and acquisitions, and proceeds derived from divestitures of businesses and assets.
We made capital expenditures of $377 million , $406 million and $371 million during 2013 , 2012 and 2011 , respectively. The level of capital expenditures in fiscal year 2014 is expected to exceed the spending levels in fiscal year 2013 and is also expected to exceed depreciation expense.
During 2013 , we paid cash for acquisitions included in continuing operations totaling $229 million , net of $9 million cash acquired, which primarily related to the acquisition of Exacq Technologies within our Global Products segment. During 2012 , we paid cash for acquisitions included in continuing operations totaling $217 million , net of cash acquired of $17 million, which primarily related to the acquisition of Visonic Ltd. within our Global Products segment. During 2011 , we paid cash for acquisitions included in continuing operations totaling $353 million , net of cash acquired of $3 million, which primarily related to the acquisitions of Signature Security Group within our ROW Installation & Services segment and Chemguard within our Global Products segment.
During 2013 and 2011, we received cash proceeds, net of cash divested, of $17 million and $709 million , respectively, for divestitures. During 2012, cash paid related to divestitures was $5 million . The cash proceeds in 2011 primarily related to the sale of a majority interest in our Electrical and Metal Products business of $713 million. See Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
We maintain captive insurance companies to manage certain of our insurable liabilities. The captive insurance companies hold certain investment accounts for the purposes of providing collateral for our insurable liabilities. During the year ended

Table of Contents

September 27, 2013 , our captive insurance companies made net purchases of investments of $45 million and during the years ended September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011 , our captive insurance companies made net sales of investments of $41 million and $26 million , respectively.
Cash flow from financing activities
Cash flows from financing activities relate primarily to proceeds received from incurring debt and issuing stock, and cash used to repay debt, repurchase stock and make dividend payments to shareholders.
During the fourth quarter of 2012, in connection with the Separation, Tyco and its finance subsidiary, Tyco International Finance S.A. ("TIFSA"), redeemed various debt securities maturing from 2013 to 2023 issued by TIFSA and/or Tyco, in an aggregate principal amount of $2.6 billion. See Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
On June 22, 2012, TIFSA, as the Borrower, and the Company as the Guarantor, entered into a Five-Year Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement providing for revolving credit commitments in the aggregate amount of $1.0 billion (the "2012 Credit Agreement"). In connection with entering into the 2012 Credit Agreement, TIFSA and the Company terminated the existing Four-Year Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, dated March 24, 2011, which provided for revolving credit commitments in the aggregate amount of $750 million. Additionally, the Company's Five-Year Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, dated April 25, 2007, terminated on September 28, 2012.
As a result of entering into the 2012 Credit Agreement and the terminations described above, we had total commitments as of September 27, 2013 of $1.0 billion under our revolving credit facility. As of September 27, 2013 , there were no amounts drawn under this revolving credit facility.
TIFSA's revolving credit facility contains customary terms and conditions, and financial covenants that limit the ratio of our debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and that limit our ability to incur subsidiary debt or grant liens on our property. Our indentures contain customary covenants including limits on negative pledges, subsidiary debt and sale/leaseback transactions. None of these covenants are considered restrictive to our business.
During 2013 and 2012, TIFSA issued commercial paper to U.S. institutional accredited investors and qualified institutional buyers. Borrowings under the commercial paper program are available for general corporate purposes. As of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , TIFSA had no commercial paper outstanding. The maximum aggregate amount of unsecured commercial paper notes available to be issued, on a private placement basis, under the commercial paper program is $1 billion as of September 27, 2013 .
On January 12, 2011, TIFSA issued $250 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% notes due on January 15, 2018 (the "2018 Notes") and $250 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% notes due on January 15, 2023 (the "2023 Notes"), which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. TIFSA received net cash proceeds of approximately $494 million. The net proceeds, along with other available funds, were used to fund the repayment of all of our outstanding 6.75% notes due in February 2011 with a principal amount of $516 million. $183 million aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes and $208 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes were redeemed in the fourth quarter of 2012, in connection with the Separation, as described above.
Pursuant to our share repurchase program, we may repurchase Tyco shares from time to time in open market purchases at prevailing market prices, in negotiated transactions off the market, or pursuant to an approved trading plan in accordance with applicable regulations. In January 2013, the Company's Board of Directors approved an additional $600 million in share repurchase authority. During the year ended September 27, 2013, we repurchased approximately 10 million common shares for approximately $300 million under our 2011 and 2013 share repurchase programs, which completed the 2011 program. During the year ended September 28, 2012, we repurchased approximately 11 million common shares for approximately $500 million under the 2011 share repurchase program. During the year ended September 30, 2011, we repurchased approximately 30 million common shares for approximately $1.3 billion under the 2011, 2010 and 2008 share repurchase programs, which completed both the 2010 and 2008 programs.
On March 6, 2013, our shareholders approved a cash dividend of $0.64 per common share payable to shareholders in four quarterly installments of $0.16 in May 2013, August 2013, November 2013 and February 2014. On March 7, 2012, our shareholders approved a cash dividend of $0.50 per common share payable to shareholders in two quarterly installments of $0.25 each on May 23, 2012 and August 22, 2012. Additionally, on September 17, 2012, our shareholders approved another cash dividend of $0.30 per common share payable to shareholders in two quarterly installments of $0.15 per share to be paid November 15, 2012 and February 20, 2013. The $0.30 dividend reflects the impact of the 2012 Separation on the Company's dividend policy. During fiscal 2013 , 2012 and 2011 , we paid cash dividends of approximately $288 million , $461 million and $458 million , respectively. See Note 15 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

(1)  
Debt principal consists of the aggregate principal amount of our public debt outstanding, excluding debt discount, swap activity and interest.
(2)  
Interest payments consist of interest on our fixed interest rate debt.
(3)  
Purchase obligations consist of commitments for purchases of goods and services.
(4)  
Other long-term liabilities excluded from the above contractual obligation table primarily consist of the following: pension and postretirement costs (see Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), income taxes (see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), contingent consideration (see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), warranties (see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and environmental liabilities (see Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). We are unable to estimate the timing of payment for these items due to the inherent uncertainties related to these obligations. However, the minimum required contributions to our pension plans are expected to be approximately $60 million in 2014 and we do not expect to make any material contributions in 2014 related to postretirement benefit plans.
As of September 27, 2013 we recorded gross unrecognized tax benefits of $257 million and gross interest and penalties of $41 million. We are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing for the remaining payments in future years; therefore, such amounts have been excluded from the above contractual obligation table. However, based on the current status of our income tax audits, we believe that it is reasonably possible that between nil and $30 million in unrecognized tax benefits may be resolved in the next twelve months. Although the Company had unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards which would offset the cash impact of any such recognition of unrecognized tax benefits relating to the current year.
In the normal course of business, we are liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In connection with the 2012 Separation we entered into a liability sharing agreement regarding certain actions that were pending against Tyco prior to the 2012 Separation. Under the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement, Pentair, Tyco and ADT share (i) certain pre-Distribution income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to Tyco Flow Control's, Tyco's and ADT's U.S. income tax returns, and (ii) payments required to be made by Tyco with respect to the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement, excluding approximately $175 million of pre-2012 Separation related tax liabilities that were anticipated to be paid prior to the 2012 Separation (collectively, "Shared Tax Liabilities"). The Company will be responsible for the first $500 million of Shared Tax Liabilities. Pentair and ADT will share 42% and 58%, respectively, of the next $225 million of Shared Tax Liabilities. Pentair, ADT and Tyco will share 20%, 27.5% and 52.5%, respectively, of Shared Tax Liabilities above $725 million. The Company expects to pay $163 million to settle certain pre-2012 Separation related tax liabilities. The timing and amounts of these payments are subject to a number of uncertainties and could change. See Notes 13 and 6, respectively, to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In connection with the 2007 Separation, we entered into a liability sharing agreement regarding certain actions that were pending against Tyco prior to the 2007 Separation. Under the 2007 Separation and Distribution Agreement and 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement, we have assumed 27%, Covidien has assumed 42% and TE Connectivity has assumed 31% of certain Tyco pre-Separation contingent and other corporate liabilities, which, as of September 27, 2013 , primarily relate to tax contingencies and potential actions with respect to the spin-offs or the distributions made or brought by any third party.
Backlog
We had a backlog of unfilled orders of $5,326 million and $5,142 million as of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , respectively.
The Company's backlog includes recurring revenue-in-force and long-term deferred revenue for upfront fees from its NA and ROW Installation & Services segments. Revenue-in-force represents 12 months' revenue associated with monitoring and maintenance services under contract in the security and fire business. Backlog by segment was as follows ($ in millions):

Backlog increased $184 million, or 3.6%, to $5,326 million as of September 27, 2013 as compared to $5,142 million in the prior year. The net increase in backlog as of September 27, 2013 was due to a $211 million increase in total backlog in our ROW Installation & Services segment, partially offset by a $64 million decrease in total backlog in our NA Installation & Services segment. The increase in total backlog as of September 27, 2013 in our ROW Installation & Services segment was primarily due to a $106 million increase in recurring revenue-in-force across all regions as well as a $105 million increase in backlog across all regions, driven in part by acquisitions in our Asia-Pacific region. The decrease in total backlog as of September 27, 2013 in our NA Installation & Services segment was driven by a $47 million decrease in backlog, a $12 million increase in recurring revenue-in-force and a $29 million decrease in deferred revenue as a result of continued pressure in our North America security business, partially offset by improvements in our North America fire business. Changes in foreign currency had an unfavorable impact on backlog of $67 million, or 1.3%.
Guarantees
Certain of our business segments have guaranteed the performance of third-parties and provided financial guarantees for uncompleted work and financial commitments. The terms of these guarantees vary with end dates ranging from the current fiscal year through the completion of such transactions. The guarantees would typically be triggered in the event of nonperformance and performance under the guarantees, if required, would not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
There are certain guarantees or indemnifications extended among Tyco, Covidien, TE Connectivity, ADT and Pentair in accordance with the terms of the 2007 and 2012 Separation and Distribution Agreements and the Tax Sharing Agreements. The guarantees primarily relate to certain contingent tax liabilities included in the Tax Sharing Agreements. At the time of the 2007 and 2012 Separations, we recorded liabilities necessary to recognize the fair value of such guarantees and indemnifications. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the Tax Sharing Agreements. In addition, prior to the 2007 and 2012 Separations we provided support in the form of financial and/or performance guarantees to various Covidien, TE Connectivity, ADT and Tyco Flow Control operating entities. To the extent these guarantees were not assigned in connection with the 2007 and 2012 Separations, we assumed primary liability on any remaining such support. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these liabilities.
In disposing of assets or businesses, we often provide representations, warranties and/or indemnities to cover various risks including, for example, unknown damage to the assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability to

53
Table of Contents

investigate and remediate environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. We have no reason to believe that these uncertainties would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We have recorded liabilities for known indemnifications included as part of environmental liabilities.
In the normal course of business, we are liable for contract completion and product performance. We record estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
As of September 27, 2013 , we had total outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees of approximately $424 million.
For a detailed discussion of guarantees and indemnifications, see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.
Non-U.S. GAAP Measure
In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results as determined by U.S. GAAP, we also disclose the non-U.S. GAAP measure of organic revenue growth (decline). We believe that this measure is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented. When read in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP revenue, it enables investors to better evaluate our operations without giving effect to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and acquisition and divestiture activity, either of which may be significant from period to period. In addition, organic revenue growth (decline) is a factor we use in internal evaluations of the overall performance of our business. This measure is not a financial measure under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for revenue as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Organic revenue growth (decline) presented herein is defined as revenue growth (decline) excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions and divestitures and other changes that may not reflect underlying results and trends (for example, the 53 rd  week of operations in fiscal year 2011). Our organic growth (decline) calculations incorporate an estimate of prior year reported net revenue associated with acquired entities that have been fully integrated within the first year, and exclude prior year net revenue associated with entities that do not meet the criteria for discontinued operations which have been divested within the past year ("adjusted number"). We calculate the rate of organic growth (decline) based on the adjusted number to better reflect the rate of growth (decline) of the combined business, in the case of acquisitions, or the remaining business, in the case of dispositions. We base the rate of organic growth (decline) for acquired businesses that are not fully integrated within the first year upon unadjusted historical net revenue. Foreign currency fluctuations are calculated by subtracting (i) the U.S. dollar equivalent of local currencies for the current period using monthly weighted average exchange rates for the prior period from (ii) the U.S. dollar equivalent of local currencies for the current period using monthly weighted average exchange rates for the current period. We may use organic revenue growth (decline) as a component of our compensation programs.
The table below details the components of organic revenue growth (decline) and reconciles the non-U.S. GAAP measure to U.S. GAAP net revenue growth (decline).

Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the normal course of conducting business, we are exposed to certain risks associated with potential changes in market conditions. These risks include fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. Accordingly, we have established a comprehensive risk management process to monitor, evaluate and manage the principal exposures to which we believe we are subject. We seek to manage these risks through the use of financial derivative instruments. Our portfolio of derivative financial instruments may, from time to time, include forward foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign currency options, interest rate swaps, commodity swaps and forward commodity contracts. Derivative financial instruments related to interest rate sensitivity of debt obligations, intercompany cross border transactions and anticipated non-functional currency cash flows are used with the goal of mitigating a significant portion of these exposures when it is cost effective to do so.
We do not execute transactions or utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Further, to reduce the risk that a counterparty will be unable to honor its contractual obligations to us, we only enter into contracts with counterparties having strong investment grade long-term credit ratings from Standard & Poor's and Moody's. These counterparties are generally financial institutions and there is no significant concentration of exposure with any one party.
Foreign Currency Exposures
We hedge our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates related to operating entities through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts. Additionally, for our corporate financing entities we manage the foreign currency exposure through a combination of multi-currency notional pool and forward contracts. Our largest exposure to foreign exchange rates exists primarily with the British pound, Euro, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, Mexican peso and Korean won against the U.S. dollar. The market risk related to the forward foreign currency exchange contract is measured by estimating the potential impact of a 10% change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency exchange rates. The rates used to perform this analysis were based on the market rates in effect on September 27, 2013 . A 10% appreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency exchange rates would result in a $11 million net decrease in the fair value of the contracts. Conversely, a 10% depreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency exchange rates would result in a $14 million net increase in the fair value of the contracts. However, gains or losses on these derivative instruments are economically offset by the gains or losses on the underlying transactions.

Table of Contents

Prior to the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we hedged net investments in certain foreign operations through the use of foreign currency exchange forward contracts. The objective was to minimize the exposure to changes in the value of the foreign currency denominated net investment. As of the quarter ended December 30, 2011, we terminated our net investment hedge. Accordingly, the aggregate notional amount of these hedges was nil for both September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012.
As of both September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , $2.0 billion of intercompany loans have been designated as permanent in nature. For the fiscal years ended September 27, 2013 , September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011 , we recorded $3 million and $48 million of cumulative translation gain and $2 million of a cumulative translation loss, respectively, through accumulated other comprehensive loss related to these loans.
Interest Rate Exposures
We manage interest rate risk through the use of interest rate swap transactions with financial institutions acting as principal counterparties, which are designated as fair value hedges for accounting purposes. Since the third quarter of 2009, TIFSA has been entering into interest rate swap transactions with the objective of managing the exposure to interest rate risk by converting interest rates of fixed-rate debt to variable rates. In these contracts, TIFSA agrees with financial institutions acting as principal counterparties to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated on an agreed-upon notional principal amount. In connection with the debt tenders and redemption during the quarter ended September 28, 2012, TIFSA settled all outstanding interest rate swaps. Accordingly, as of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , the total gross notional amount of our interest rate swap contracts was nil for both periods.

Table of Contents

specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 27, 2013 , our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 27, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these internal controls.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company's assets, (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Company's receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company's management and directors and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 27, 2013 . In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in its framework, Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992) . Management's assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Company's internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. Management reviewed the results of its assessment with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Based on our assessment and those criteria, management believes that the Company maintained effective internal controls over financial reporting as of September 27, 2013 .
Our internal control over financial reporting as of September 27, 2013 , has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited and reported on the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K, and their report is also included in this Form 10-K.

MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Discussion of Management's Responsibility
We are responsible for the preparation, integrity and fair presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements and related information appearing in this report. We take these responsibilities very seriously and are committed to being recognized as a leader in governance, controls, clarity and transparency of financial statements. We are committed to making honesty, integrity and transparency the hallmarks of how we run Tyco. We believe that to succeed in today's environment requires more than just compliance with laws and regulations—it requires a culture based upon the highest levels of integrity and ethical values. Expected behavior starts with our Board of Directors and our senior management team leading by example and includes every one of Tyco's global employees, as well as our customers, suppliers and business partners. One of our most crucial objectives is continuing to maintain and build on the public, employee and shareholder confidence that has been restored in Tyco. We believe this is being accomplished; first, by issuing financial information and related disclosures that are accurate, complete and transparent so investors are well informed; second, by supporting a leadership culture based on an ethic of uncompromising integrity and accountability; and third, by recruiting, training and retaining high-performance individuals who have the highest ethical standards. We take full responsibility for meeting this objective. We maintain appropriate accounting standards and disclosure controls and devote our full commitment and the necessary resources to these items.
Dedication to Governance, Controls and Financial Reporting
Throughout 2013, we continued to maintain and enhance internal controls over financial reporting, disclosures and corporate governance practices. We believe that a strong control environment is a dynamic process. Therefore, we intend to continue to devote the necessary resources to maintain and improve our internal controls and corporate governance.
Our Audit Committee meets regularly and separately with management, Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent auditors, and our internal auditors to discuss financial reports, controls and auditing.
We, our Board and our Audit Committee are all committed to excellence in governance, financial reporting and controls.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Tyco International Ltd.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tyco International Ltd. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended September 27, 2013 . Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tyco International Ltd. and subsidiaries as of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended September 27, 2013 , in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 27, 2013 , based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated November 14, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Tyco International Ltd.:

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Tyco International Ltd. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of September 27, 2013 , based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 27, 2013, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule as of and for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2013 of the Company and our report dated November 14, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedule.

TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation —The Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated accounts of Tyco International Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of Switzerland, and its subsidiaries (Tyco and all its subsidiaries, hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Company" or "Tyco"). The financial statements have been prepared in United States dollars ("USD") and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Certain information described under article 663-663h of the Swiss Code of Obligations has been presented in the Company's Swiss statutory financial statements for the year ended September 27, 2013 . Unless otherwise indicated, references to 2013 , 2012 and 2011 are to Tyco's fiscal years ending September 27, 2013 , September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011 , respectively.
Effective September 28, 2012, Tyco completed the spin-offs of The ADT Corporation ("ADT") and Pentair Ltd. (formerly known as Tyco Flow Control International Ltd. ("Tyco Flow Control")), formerly the North American residential security and flow control businesses of Tyco, respectively, into separate, publicly traded companies in the form of a distribution to Tyco shareholders. Immediately following the spin-off, Pentair, Inc. was merged with a subsidiary of Tyco Flow Control in a tax-free, all-stock merger (the "Merger"), with Pentair Ltd. ("Pentair") succeeding Pentair Inc. as an independent publicly traded company. The distribution was made on September 28, 2012, to Tyco shareholders of record on September 17, 2012. Each Tyco shareholder received 0.50 of a common share of ADT and approximately 0.24 of a common share of Pentair for each Tyco common share held on the record date. The distribution was structured to be tax-free to Tyco shareholders except to the extent of cash received in lieu of fractional shares. The distributions, the Merger and related transactions are collectively referred to herein as the "2012 Separation". As a result of the distribution, the operations of Tyco's former flow control and North American residential security businesses are classified as discontinued operations in all periods prior to the 2012 Separation.
After giving effect to the 2012 Separation, the Company operates and reports financial and operating information in the following three segments: North America Installation & Services ("NA Installation & Services"), Rest of World Installation & Services ("ROW Installation & Services") and Global Products. The Company also provides general corporate services to its segments which is reported as a fourth, non-operating segment, Corporate and Other.
Effective June 29, 2007, Tyco completed the spin-offs of Covidien and TE Connectivity, formerly the Healthcare and Electronics businesses of Tyco, respectively, into separate, publicly traded companies (the "2007 Separation") in the form of a tax-free distribution to Tyco shareholders.
In reporting periods prior to the first quarter of fiscal 2013, certain costs of product sales were misclassified as costs of services. There was no impact to previously reported net revenue, operating income, income from continuing operations, net income, earnings per share or cash flow. The Company has evaluated and concluded that the identified amounts were not material to any of its previously filed annual or interim financial statements as the effects in prior periods were not material. Although not material, corrections have been made to the relevant periods presented in the financial statements included herein. These corrections resulted in reductions of Cost of services with corresponding increases to Cost of product sales of $679 million and $651 million for the years ended September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively.
Principles of Consolidation —Tyco conducts business through its operating subsidiaries. The Company consolidates companies in which it owns or controls more than fifty percent of the voting shares or has the ability to control through similar rights. Also, the Company consolidates variable interest entities ("VIE") in which the Company has the power to direct the significant activities of the entity and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the entity that may be significant. The VIEs which the Company consolidates, individually or in the aggregate, did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The results of companies acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the effective date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal.
The Company has a 52 or 53 -week fiscal year that ends on the last Friday in September. Fiscal 2013 and 2012 were 52  week years which ended on September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , respectively. Fiscal 2011 was a 53 -week year which ended on September 30, 2011 .
Use of Estimates —The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates in these Consolidated Financial Statements include restructuring charges, allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, estimates of future cash flows

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

associated with asset impairments, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, loss contingencies (including legal, environmental and asbestos reserves), insurance reserves, net realizable value of inventories, fair values of financial instruments, estimated contract revenue and related costs, income taxes and tax valuation allowances, and pension and postretirement employee benefit liabilities and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition —The Company recognizes revenue principally on four types of transactions—sales of products, security systems, monitoring and maintenance services, and contract sales, including the installation of fire and security systems and other construction-related projects.
Revenue from the sales of products is recognized at the time title and risks and rewards of ownership pass. This is generally when the products reach the free-on-board shipping point, the sales price is fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
Provisions for certain rebates, sales incentives, trade promotions, product returns and discounts to customers are accounted for as reductions in determining net revenue in the same period the related sales are recorded. These provisions are based on terms of arrangements with direct, indirect and other market participants. Rebates are estimated based on sales terms, historical experience and trend analysis.
Sales of security monitoring systems may have multiple elements, including equipment, installation, monitoring services and maintenance agreements. The Company assesses its revenue arrangements to determine the appropriate units of accounting. When ownership of the system is transferred to the customer, each deliverable provided under the arrangement is considered a separate unit of accounting. Revenues associated with sale of equipment and related installations are recognized once delivery, installation and customer acceptance is completed, while the revenue for monitoring and maintenance services are recognized as services are rendered. Amounts assigned to each unit of accounting are based on an allocation of total arrangement consideration using a hierarchy of estimated selling price for the deliverables. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on Vendor Specific Objective Evidence ("VSOE") if available, Third Party Evidence ("TPE") if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price if neither VSOE or TPE is available. Revenue recognized for equipment and installation is limited to the lesser of their allocated amounts under the estimated selling price hierarchy or the non-contingent up-front consideration received at the time of installation, since collection of future amounts under the arrangement with the customer is contingent upon the delivery of monitoring and maintenance services. While the Company does not expect situations where VSOE is not available for sales of security systems and services, if such cases were to arise the Company would follow the selling price hierarchy to allocate arrangement consideration. For transactions in which the Company retains ownership of the subscriber system asset, fees for monitoring and maintenance services are recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Non-refundable fees received in connection with the initiation of a monitoring contract, along with associated direct and incremental selling costs, are deferred and amortized over the estimated life of the customer relationship.
Revenue from the sale of services is recognized as services are rendered. Customer billings for services not yet rendered are deferred and recognized as revenue as the services are rendered and the associated deferred revenue is included in current liabilities or long-term liabilities, as appropriate.
Contract sales for the installation of fire protection systems, large security intruder systems and other construction-related projects are recorded primarily under the percentage-of-completion method. Profits recognized on contracts in process are based upon estimated contract revenue and related total cost of the project at completion. The extent of progress toward completion is generally measured based on the ratio of actual cost incurred to total estimated cost at completion. Revisions to cost estimates as contracts progress have the effect of increasing or decreasing profits each period. Provisions for anticipated losses are made in the period in which they become determinable. Estimated warranty costs are included in total estimated contract costs and are accrued over the construction period of the respective contracts under percentage-of-completion accounting.
The Company recorded retainage receivables of $48 million and $49 million as of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , respectively, of which $41 million were unbilled during both periods. The retainage provisions consist primarily of fire protection contracts which become due upon contract completion and acceptance. The Company expects approximately $36 million to be collected during fiscal 2014, which are reflected within accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 27, 2013 .
Research and Development —Research and development expenditures are expensed when incurred and are included in cost of product sales, which amounted to $174 million , $145 million and $129 million for 2013 , 2012 and 2011 , respectively, related to new product development. Research and development expenses include salaries, direct costs incurred and building and overhead expenses.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Advertising —Advertising costs are expensed when incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, which amounted to $60 million , $39 million and $46 million for 2013 , 2012 and 2011 , respectively.
Acquisition Costs —Costs incurred to acquire new businesses, new product lines or similar assets are expensed when incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. See Note 5.
Translation of Foreign Currency —For the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries that account in a functional currency other than U.S. dollars, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in Tyco's shareholders' equity.
Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions and the impact of foreign currency derivatives related to operating activities are reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses. Through April 2011, the Company declared its dividends in Swiss francs. Any foreign exchange gains or losses arising from such were reflected in other expense, net in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. Beginning in May 2011, the Company began making dividend payments out of contributed surplus in U.S. dollars.
Cash and Cash Equivalents —All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts —The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable reflects the best estimate of probable losses inherent in Tyco's receivable portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other currently available evidence.
Inventories —Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost (primarily first-in, first-out) or market value.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net —Property, Plant and Equipment, net is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense for 2013 , 2012 and 2011 was $328 million , $316 million and $323 million , respectively. Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to expense when incurred. Except for pooled subscriber systems, depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:
Buildings and related improvements
Up to 50 years
Leasehold improvements
Lesser of remaining term of the lease or economic useful life
Subscriber systems
Accelerated method up to 15 years
Other machinery, equipment and furniture and fixtures
Up to 21 years
See below for discussion of depreciation method and estimated useful lives related to subscriber systems.
Subscriber System Assets, Dealer Intangibles and Related Deferred Revenue Accounts —The Company considers assets related to the acquisition of new customers in its electronic security business in three asset categories: internally generated residential subscriber systems outside of North America, internally generated commercial subscriber systems (collectively referred to as subscriber system assets) and customer accounts acquired through the ADT dealer program, primarily outside of North America (referred to as dealer intangibles). Subscriber system assets include installed property, plant and equipment for which Tyco retains ownership and deferred costs directly related to the customer acquisition and system installation. Subscriber system assets represent capitalized equipment (e.g. security control panels, touchpad, motion detectors, window sensors, and other equipment) and installation costs associated with electronic security monitoring arrangements under which the Company retains ownership of the security system assets in a customer's place of business or, outside of North America, residence. Installation costs represent costs incurred to prepare the asset for its intended use. The Company pays property taxes on the subscriber system assets and upon customer termination, may retrieve such assets. These assets embody a probable future economic benefit as they generate future monitoring revenue for the Company.
Costs related to the subscriber system equipment and installation are categorized as property, plant and equipment rather than deferred costs. Deferred costs associated with subscriber system assets represent direct and incremental selling expenses (i.e. commissions) related to acquiring the customer. Commissions related to up-front consideration paid by customers in connection with the establishment of the monitoring arrangement are determined based on a percentage of the up-front fees and do not exceed deferred revenue. Such deferred costs are recorded as non-current assets and are included in the other assets line item within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Subscriber system assets and any deferred revenue resulting from the customer acquisition are accounted for over the expected life of the subscriber. In certain geographical areas where the Company has a large number of customers that behave

Table of Contents
TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

in a similar manner over time, the Company accounts for subscriber system assets and related deferred revenue using pools, with separate pools for the components of subscriber system assets and any related deferred revenue based on the same month and year of acquisition. The Company depreciates its pooled subscriber system assets and related deferred revenue using an accelerated method with lives up to 15  years. The accelerated method utilizes declining balance rates based on geographical area ranging from 135% to 360% for commercial subscriber pools and dealer intangibles and converts to a straight-line methodology when the resulting depreciation charge is greater than that from the accelerated method. The Company uses a straight-line method with a 14 -year life for non-pooled subscriber system assets (primarily in Europe, Latin America and Asia) and related deferred revenue, with remaining balances written off upon customer termination.
Certain contracts and related customer relationships result from purchasing residential security monitoring contracts from an external network of independent dealers who operate under the ADT dealer program, primarily outside of North America. Acquired contracts and related customer relationships are recorded at their contractually determined purchase price.
During the first 6 months ( 12 months in certain circumstances) after the purchase of the customer contract, any cancellation of monitoring service, including those that result from customer payment delinquencies, results in a chargeback by the Company to the dealer for the full amount of the contract purchase price. The Company records the amount charged back to the dealer as a reduction of the previously recorded intangible asset.
Intangible assets arising from the ADT dealer program described above are amortized in pools determined by the same month and year of contract acquisition on an accelerated basis over the period and pattern of economic benefit that is expected to be obtained from the customer relationship.
The estimated useful life of dealer intangibles ranges from 12 to 15  years. The Company amortizes dealer intangible assets on an accelerated basis.
Other Amortizable Intangible Assets, Net —Intangible assets primarily include contracts and related customer relationships (dealer accounts discussed above) and intellectual property.
Other contracts and related customer relationships, as well as intellectual property consisting primarily of patents, trademarks, copyrights and unpatented technology, are amortized on a straight-line basis over 4 to 40  years. The Company evaluates the amortization methods and remaining useful lives of intangible assets on a periodic basis to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the amortization method or remaining useful lives.
Long-Lived Asset Impairments —The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be fully recoverable. Tyco performs undiscounted operating cash flow analyses to determine if impairment exists. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment for assets held for use, Tyco groups assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identified. If an impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed of, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less costs of disposal.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairments —Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment annually and more frequently if triggering events occur (see Note 8). The Company performed its annual impairment tests for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets on the first day of the fourth quarter of 2013 . In performing these assessments, management relies on and considers a number of factors, including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, comparable market transactions (to the extent available), other market data and the Company's overall market capitalization. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors which require judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment.
When testing for goodwill impairment, the Company first compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. Fair value for the goodwill impairment test is determined utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company's future budgets discounted using market participants' weighted-average cost of capital and market indicators of terminal year cash flows. Other valuation methods are used to corroborate the discounted cash flow method. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered potentially impaired and further tests are performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. In the second step of the goodwill impairment test, the Company compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying amount of goodwill over its implied fair value. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner that the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination is determined. The Company allocates the fair value of a reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit, including intangible assets, as if the

79
Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Any excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities represents the implied fair value of goodwill.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets consisting primarily of trade names and franchise rights are tested for impairment using either a relief-from-royalty method or excess earnings method, respectively.
Investments —The Company invests in debt and equity securities. Long-term investments in marketable equity securities that represent less than twenty percent ownership are marked to market at the end of each accounting period. Unrealized gains and losses are credited or charged to accumulated other comprehensive loss within Tyco shareholders' equity for available for sale securities unless an unrealized loss is deemed to be other than temporary, in which case such loss is charged to earnings. Management determines the proper classification of investments in debt obligations with fixed maturities and equity securities for which there is a readily determinable market value at the time of purchase and reevaluates such classifications as of each balance sheet date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Other equity investments for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence and for which there is not a readily determinable market value are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Each reporting period, the Company evaluates the carrying value of its investments accounted for under the cost method of accounting, such that they are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. For equity investments in which the Company exerts significant influence over operating and financial policies but does not control, the equity method of accounting is used. The Company's share of net income or losses of equity investments is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Product Warranty —The Company records estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale. Products are warranted against defects in material and workmanship when properly used for their intended purpose, installed correctly, and appropriately maintained. Generally, product warranties are implicit in the sale; however, the customer may purchase an extended warranty. However, in most instances the warranty is either negotiated in the contract or sold as a separate component. The warranty liability is determined based on historical information such as past experience, product failure rates or number of units repaired, estimated cost of material and labor, and in certain instances estimated property damage.
Environmental Costs —The Company is subject to laws and regulations relating to protecting the environment. Tyco provides for expenses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such amounts are probable and can be reasonably estimated.
Income Taxes —Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the book and tax bases of particular assets and liabilities and operating loss carryforwards, using tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided to offset deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, including consideration of tax planning strategies, it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Asbestos-Related Contingencies and Insurance Receivables —The Company and certain of its subsidiaries along with numerous other companies are named as defendants in personal injury lawsuits based on alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials. The Company's estimate of the liability and corresponding insurance recovery for pending and future claims and defense costs is based on the Company's historical claim experience, and estimates of the number and resolution cost of potential future claims that may be filed. The Company's legal strategy for resolving claims also impacts these estimates. The Company considers various trends and developments in evaluating the period of time (the look-back period) over which historical claim and settlement experience is used to estimate and value claims reasonably projected to be made in the future during a defined period of time (the look-forward period). On a quarterly basis, the Company assesses the sufficiency of its estimated liability for pending and future claims and defense costs by evaluating actual experience regarding claims filed, settled and dismissed, and amounts paid in settlements. In addition to claims and settlement experience, the Company considers additional quantitative and qualitative factors such as changes in legislation, the legal environment, and the Company's defense strategy. The Company also evaluates the recoverability of its insurance receivable on a quarterly basis. The Company evaluates all of these factors and determines whether a change in the estimate of its liability for pending and future claims and defense costs or insurance receivable is warranted.
In connection with the recognition of liabilities for asbestos-related matters, the Company records asbestos-related insurance recoveries that are probable. The Company's estimate of asbestos-related insurance recoveries represents estimated amounts due to the Company for previously paid and settled claims and the probable reimbursements relating to its estimated

liability for pending and future claims. In determining the amount of insurance recoverable, the Company considers a number of factors, including available insurance, allocation methodologies, solvency and creditworthiness of the insurers. See Note 13.
Insurable Liabilities —The Company records liabilities for its workers' compensation, product, general and auto liabilities. The determination of these liabilities and related expenses is dependent on claims experience. For most of these liabilities, claims incurred but not yet reported are estimated by utilizing actuarial valuations based upon historical claims experience. Certain insurable liabilities, such as workers' compensation, are discounted using a risk-free rate of return when the pattern and timing of the future obligation is reliably determinable. The impact of the discount on the Consolidated Balance Sheets was to reduce the obligation by $14 million to $58 million as of September 27, 2013 and by $15 million to $58 million as of September 28, 2012 . The Company records receivables from third party insurers when recovery has been determined to be probable. The Company maintains captive insurance companies to manage certain of its insurable liabilities. The captive insurance companies hold certain investment accounts for the purpose of providing collateral for the Company's insurable liabilities. See Note 12.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments —Authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three-level hierarchy that ranks the quality and reliability of information used in developing fair value estimates. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. In cases where two or more levels of inputs are used to determine fair value, a financial instrument's level is determined based on the lowest level input that is considered significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are summarized as follows:
•
Level 1—inputs are based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities which are accessible as of the measurement date.
•
Level 2—inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations for the asset or liability that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data for which the primary inputs are observable, including forward interest rates, yield curves, credit risk and exchange rates.
•
Level 3—inputs for the valuations are unobservable and are based on management's estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques such as option pricing models and discounted cash flow models.
Financial Instruments —The Company may use interest rate swaps, currency swaps, forward and option contracts and commodity swaps to manage risks generally associated with interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk and commodity prices. Derivatives used for hedging purposes are designated and effective as a hedge of the identified risk exposure at the inception of the contract. Accordingly, changes in fair value of the derivative contract are highly effective at offsetting the changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged item at inception of the hedge and are expected to remain highly effective over the life of the hedge contract.
All derivative financial instruments are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Derivatives used to economically hedge foreign currency denominated balance sheet items related to operating activities are reported in selling, general and administrative expenses along with offsetting transaction gains and losses on the items being hedged. Derivatives used to economically hedge dividends declared in Swiss francs through April of 2011 were reported in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations as part of other expense, net along with offsetting transaction gains and losses on the items being hedged. Beginning in May of 2011, the Company no longer declared dividends in Swiss francs. Derivatives used to manage the exposure to changes in interest rates are reported in interest expense along with offsetting transaction gains and losses on the items being hedged. Gains and losses on net investment hedges are included in the cumulative translation adjustment component of accumulated other comprehensive loss to the extent they are effective. Gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified to earnings in a manner that matches the timing of the earnings impact of the hedged transactions. The Company classifies cash flows associated with the settlement of derivatives consistent with the nature of the transaction being hedged. The ineffective portion of all hedges, if any, is recognized currently in earnings as noted above. Instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are marked to market with changes recognized in current earnings. See Note 12.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests —Noncontrolling interest with redemption features, such as put options, that are not solely within the Company's control are considered redeemable noncontrolling interests. The Company accretes changes in the redemption value through noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest over the period from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date. Redeemable noncontrolling interest is considered to be temporary equity and is therefore reported in the mezzanine section between liabilities and equity on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet at the greater of the initial carrying amount increased or decreased for the noncontrolling interest's share of net income or loss or its redemption value.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements —In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued authoritative guidance for the presentation of comprehensive income. The guidance amended the reporting of Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI") by eliminating the option to present OCI as part of the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity. The amendment will not impact the accounting for OCI, but only its presentation in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. The guidance requires that items of net income and OCI be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements which include total net income and its components, consecutively followed by total OCI and its components to arrive at total comprehensive income. In December 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to defer the effective date for those aspects of the guidance relating to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of Accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") by component. The guidance, other than as it relates to the presentation of reclassification adjustments, became effective for Tyco in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and was applied retrospectively to prior periods. See Note 15.
In September 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which amends the process of testing goodwill for impairment. Additionally, in July 2012, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which similarly amended the process of testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not (defined as having a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, performing the traditional two step goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. If an entity concludes otherwise, it would be required to perform the first step of the two step goodwill impairment test. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the entity is required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test. If an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, then the entity is not required to take further action. If an entity concludes otherwise, it would be required to perform a quantitative impairment test by calculating the fair value of the asset and comparing it with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value, then the entity shall recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess. However, an entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment in any period and proceed directly to the quantitative assessment. The guidance became effective for Tyco for interim impairment testing beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements —In January 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance clarifying the scope of disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The guidance clarifies that the scope of the disclosures applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with authoritative guidance for derivatives and hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that either offset or are subject to an enforceable master netting agreement or similar agreement. The guidance is applied retrospectively and will be effective for Tyco in the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2014. The Company does not expect the guidance to have a significant impact on its disclosures.
In February 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for the reporting of amounts reclassified out of AOCI. The amendment will not change the current requirements for reporting net income or OCI in the financial statements. The guidance requires the presentation, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, of the significant reclassifications out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, the amendment requires a cross-reference to other disclosures under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The guidance will be effective for Tyco in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The Company does not expect the guidance to have a significant impact on its disclosures.
In March 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment ("CTA") when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. The guidance requires that the parent release any CTA into net income when the parent ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity which results in a substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity; when the sale of an investment in a foreign entity

82
Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

results in the loss of a controlling financial interest; or where an acquirer obtains control of an acquiree in which it had an equity interest immediately before the acquisition date. The guidance does not change the requirement to release a pro rata portion of the CTA into net income upon a partial sale of an equity method investment that is a foreign entity. The guidance will be effective for Tyco in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the timing of its adoption along with what impact, if any, the guidance will have upon adoption.
In July 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The guidance requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. If the NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the jurisdiction or the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit will be presented in the financial statements as a liability and will not be combined with deferred tax assets. This guidance does not require any additional recurring disclosures and will be effective for Tyco the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, the guidance will have upon adoption.
2. 2012 Separation Transaction
On September 28, 2012, the Company completed the spin-offs of ADT and Tyco Flow Control, formerly the North American residential security and flow control businesses of Tyco, respectively, into separate, publicly traded companies in the form of a distribution to Tyco shareholders.
In connection with activities taken to complete the 2012 Separation and to create the revised organizational structure of the Company, the Company incurred pre-tax charges ("Separation Charges") of $61 million and $839 million for the years ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , respectively. The amounts presented within discontinued operations are costs directly related to the 2012 Separation that are not expected to provide a future benefit to the Company. The components of the Separation Charges incurred within continuing operations and discontinued operations consisted of the following ($ in millions):

3. Divestitures
The Company has continued to assess the strategic fit of its various businesses and has pursued the divestiture of certain businesses which do not align with its long-term strategy.
Fiscal 2013
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company approved a plan to sell its armored guard business in New Zealand and its fire and security business in Fiji, both of which are in its ROW Installation & Services segment; however, as of September 27, 2013 , the sale had not been completed. The assets and liabilities have not been presented separately as held-for-sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the amounts were not material to the presentation of all periods. A pre-tax loss of approximately $13 million for the write-down to fair value, less cost to sell was recorded in Restructuring, asset impairment and divestiture charges (gains), net in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended September 27, 2013 . This business has not been presented in discontinued operations as the amounts were not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company expects to complete the transaction during the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company completed the sale of its North America guarding business in its NA Installation & Services segment for approximately $25 million of cash proceeds, net of $2 million of cash divested on sale. The pre-tax loss for the write-down to fair value, less cost to sell, was not material. This business was accounted for as held for sale during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and presented as held for sale as of September 28, 2012 ; however, its results of operations have not been presented in discontinued operations as the amounts were not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements. As of September 28, 2012 , total assets to be divested of $35 million are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and total liabilities to be divested of $8 million are included in Accrued and other current liabilities on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. The assets and liabilities have not been presented separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the amounts were not material.
Fiscal 2012
On September 28, 2012 , Tyco completed the 2012 Separation and has presented its former North American residential security and flow control businesses as discontinued operations in all periods prior to the completion of the 2012 Separation. See Note 2 for additional information regarding the 2012 Separation. At the time of the 2012 Separation, the Company used available information to develop its best estimates for certain assets and liabilities related to the Separation. In limited instances, final determination of the balances will be made in subsequent periods, such as in the case of when final income tax returns are filed in certain jurisdictions where those returns include a combination of Tyco, ADT and/or Tyco Flow Control legal entities. During the year ended September 27, 2013 , a net increase of $1 million was recorded within the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity as Other, primarily related to a cash true-up adjustment received from Pentair in the third quarter of fiscal 2013, offset by a cash true-up adjustment paid to ADT during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and adjustments for the impact of filing final income tax returns. Any additional adjustments are not expected to be material.
During the year ended September 28, 2012 , the Company sold its Fire Equipment de Mexico, S.A. business, which was part of the Company's Global Products segment. The sale was completed for approximately $1 million of cash consideration and a pre-tax loss of $3 million was recorded in income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Fiscal 2011
On November 9, 2010, the Company announced that it entered into an investment agreement (the "Agreement") to sell a majority interest in its Electrical and Metal Products business to an affiliate of the private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC ("CD&R"). The Company formed a newly incorporated holding company, Atkore, to hold the Company's Electrical and Metal Products business. On December 22, 2010, the transaction closed and CD&R acquired shares of a newly-created class of cumulative convertible preferred stock of Atkore (the "Preferred Stock"). The Preferred Stock initially represented 51% of the outstanding capital stock (on an as-converted basis) of Atkore. In connection with the closing, the Company received cash proceeds of approximately $713 million and recorded a gain of $259 million , which included $33 million of cumulative translation gain, during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. During the year ended September 30, 2011 , the Company recorded net working capital adjustments of $11 million that reduced the gain on disposal. The gain on disposal is recorded within Restructuring, asset impairment and divestiture charges (gains), net in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, CD&R is entitled to a quarterly dividend which is payable in cash or in shares of Preferred Stock, at the discretion of Atkore. Since the closing of the transaction, Atkore has elected to pay CD&R's quarterly dividend in shares of Preferred Stock, which has diluted the Company's ownership in Atkore. As of September 27, 2013 , the Company's ownership percentage was approximately 42% . Tyco's retained ownership interest in Atkore is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and is recorded in Other assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , such interest was $44 million and $92 million , respectively. The Company's proportionate share of Atkore's net loss is recorded within equity loss in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company recorded equity losses of $48 million , $26 million and $12 million for the years ended September 27, 2013 , September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011 , respectively.

Other Matters
The Company has used available information to develop its best estimates for certain assets and liabilities related to the 2007 Separation. In limited instances, final determination of the balances will be made in subsequent periods. There were nil for both years ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , and $13 million for September 30, 2011 of adjustments recorded through Tyco shareholders' equity. Adjustments in the future for the impact of filing final income tax returns in certain jurisdictions where those returns include a combination of Tyco, Covidien and/or TE Connectivity legal entities and for certain amended income tax returns for the periods prior to the 2007 Separation may be recorded to either Tyco shareholders' equity or the Consolidated Statement of Operations depending on the specific item giving rise to the adjustment.
Additionally, the year ended September 28, 2012 included $21 million and both the years ended September 27, 2013 and September 30, 2011 included nil of income tax expense associated with pre-2007 Separation tax liabilities, which was recorded in income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the year ended September 28, 2012 , the Company was reimbursed $8 million pursuant to a tax sharing agreement (the "2007 Tax Sharing Agreement") entered into in conjunction with the 2007 Separation, which has been recorded in income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 6.
Divestiture Charges (Gains), Net
During 2013 , 2012 and 2011 , the Company recorded net losses of $20 million and $14 million , and net gain of $224 million , respectively, in Restructuring, asset impairment and divestiture charges (gains), net in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. The net loss for the year ended September 27, 2013 primarily resulted from the write-down to fair

value, less cost to sell, of the armored guard business in New Zealand and the fire and security business in Fiji, both of which are in our ROW Installation & Services segment. The net loss for the year ended September 28, 2012 primarily resulted from an indemnification resulting from the divestiture of the Company's Electrical and Metal products business. The net gain for the year ended September 30, 2011 includes a gain of $248 million , net of working capital adjustments, recognized in conjunction with the sale of a majority interest in the Company's Electrical and Metal Products business, as discussed above.
4. Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges, Net
During fiscal 2013, the Company identified and pursued opportunities for cost savings through restructuring activities and workforce reductions to improve operating efficiencies across the Company's businesses. The Company expects to incur restructuring and restructuring related charges in the range of $50 million to $75 million in fiscal 2014, which does not include repositioning charges as discussed below.

2012 Separation related charges associated with the early extinguishment of debt further increased a net operating loss carryforward in 2012, which the Company does not expect to realize in future periods. The valuation allowance on this loss carryforward is included in the Valuation allowance line of the table above.
Nondeductible charges during 2013 and 2012 are primarily related to separation costs incurred. Included in nondeductible charges during 2011 is an income tax benefit from favorable audit resolutions in multiple jurisdictions.
Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting and tax purposes. The components of the net deferred income tax asset as of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 are as follows ($ in millions):

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $2.0 billion and $1.8 billion as of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , respectively, relates principally to the uncertainty of the utilization of certain deferred tax assets, primarily tax loss and credit carryforwards in various jurisdictions. Specifically, the valuation allowance as of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 includes separation related charges associated with the early extinguishment of debt which further increased a net operating loss carryforward which the Company does not expect to realize in future periods. The valuation allowance was calculated and recorded when the Company determined that it was more-likely-than-not that all or a portion of our deferred tax assets would not be realized. The Company believes that it will generate sufficient future taxable income to realize the tax benefits related to the remaining net deferred tax assets on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of September 27, 2013, deferred tax assets of approximately $95 million relate to certain operating loss carryforwards resulting from the exercise of employee stock options and restricted stock vestings, the tax benefit of which, when recognized, will be accounted for as a credit to additional paid-in capital rather than a reduction of income tax provision.
As of September 27, 2013 , the Company had $7,592 million of net operating loss carryforwards in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions. Of these, $6,959 million have no expiration, and the remaining $633 million will expire in future years through 2031. In the U.S., there were approximately $810 million of federal and $467 million of state net operating loss carryforwards as of September 27, 2013 , which will expire in future years through 2033.
As of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $257 million and $121 million , respectively, of which $236 million and $107 million , if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company accrued interest and penalties related to the unrecognized tax benefits of $41 million and $38 million as of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , respectively. The Company recognized $2 million , $3 million and $2 million of income tax expense

Based on the current status of its income tax audits, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that between nil and $30 million in unrecognized tax benefits may be resolved in the next twelve months.
Tax Sharing Agreements and Other Income Tax Matters
In connection with the 2012 and 2007 Separations, the Company entered into the 2012 and 2007 Tax Sharing Agreements, respectively, that govern the respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations of Tyco, Pentair and ADT after the 2012 Separation and Tyco, Covidien and TE Connectivity after the 2007 Separation with respect to taxes. Specifically this includes ordinary course of business taxes and taxes, if any, incurred as a result of any failure of the distribution of all of the shares of Pentair, ADT, Covidien or TE Connectivity to qualify as a tax-free distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code ("the Code") or certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the spin-offs to qualify for tax-favored treatment under the Code.
Under the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement Tyco, Pentair and ADT share (i) certain pre-Distribution income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to ADT's, Tyco Flow Control's and Tyco's income tax returns, and (ii) payments required to be made by Tyco with respect to the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement, excluding approximately $175 million of pre-2012 Separation related tax liabilities that were anticipated to be paid prior to the 2012 Separation (collectively, "Shared Tax Liabilities"). Tyco will be responsible for the first $500 million of Shared Tax Liabilities. Pentair and ADT will share 42% and 58% , respectively, of the next $225 million of Shared Tax Liabilities. Tyco, Pentair and ADT will share 52.5% 20% and 27.5% , respectively, of Shared Tax Liabilities above $725 million . All costs and expenses associated with the management of these shared tax liabilities will generally be shared 20% , 27.5% , and 52.5% by Pentair, ADT and Tyco, respectively. In connection with the execution of the 2012 Tax Sharing Arrangement, Tyco established liabilities representing the fair market value of its obligations which was recorded in other liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet with an offset to Tyco shareholders' equity.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Under the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement, Tyco shares responsibility for certain of its, Covidien's and TE Connectivity's income tax liabilities, which result in cash payments, based on a sharing formula for periods prior to and including June 29, 2007. More specifically, Tyco, Covidien and TE Connectivity share 27% , 42% and 31% , respectively, of shared income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to Tyco's, Covidien's and TE Connectivity's U.S. and certain non-U.S. income tax returns. The costs and expenses associated with the management of these shared tax liabilities are generally shared equally among the parties. In connection with the execution of the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement, Tyco established a net receivable from Covidien and TE Connectivity representing the amount Tyco expected to receive for pre-2007 Separation uncertain tax positions, including amounts owed to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). Tyco also established liabilities representing the fair market value of its share of Covidien's and TE Connectivity's estimated obligations, primarily to the IRS, for their pre-2007 Separation taxes covered by the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement. During the year ended September 27, 2013 , Tyco made a net cash payment of $16 million to Covidien and TE Connectivity related to the resolution of certain IRS audit and pre-Separation tax matters.
Tyco assesses the shared tax liabilities and related guaranteed liabilities related to both the 2012 and 2007 Tax Sharing Agreements at each reporting period. Tyco will provide payment to Pentair and ADT under the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement and to Covidien and TE Connectivity under the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement as the shared income tax liabilities are settled. Settlement is expected to occur as the tax, audit and legal processes are completed for the impacted years and cash payments are made. Due to the nature of the unresolved adjustments described in the next paragraph, the maximum amount of future payments under the 2012 and 2007 Tax Sharing Agreements is not known. Such cash payments, when they occur, will reduce the guarantor liability as such payments represent an equivalent reduction of risk. Tyco also assesses the sufficiency of the 2012 and 2007 Tax Sharing Agreements guarantee liabilities on a quarterly basis and will increase the liability when it is probable that cash payments expected to be made under the 2012 or 2007 Tax Sharing Agreements exceed the recorded balance.
Tyco and its subsidiaries' income tax returns are examined periodically by various tax authorities. In connection with these examinations, tax authorities, including the IRS, have raised issues and proposed tax adjustments, in particular with respect to years preceding the 2007 Separation. The issues and proposed adjustments related to such years are generally subject to the sharing provisions of the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement and Tyco's liabilities under the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement are further subject to the sharing provisions in the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement. Tyco has previously disclosed that in connection with U.S. federal tax audits, the IRS has raised a number of issues and proposed tax adjustments for periods beginning with the 1997 tax year. Although Tyco has been able to resolve substantially all of the issues and adjustments proposed by the IRS for tax years through 2007, it has not been able to resolve matters related to the treatment of certain intercompany debt transactions during the period. As a result, on June 20, 2013, Tyco received Notices of Deficiency from the IRS asserting that several of Tyco's former U.S. subsidiaries owe additional taxes of $883.3 million plus penalties of $154 million based on audits of the 1997 through 2000 tax years of Tyco and its subsidiaries as they existed at that time. In addition, Tyco received Final Partnership Administrative Adjustments for certain U.S. partnerships owned by former U.S. subsidiaries with respect to which an additional tax deficiency of approximately $30 million is expected to be asserted. These amounts exclude interest and do not reflect the impact on subsequent periods if the IRS position described below is ultimately proved correct.
The IRS asserted in the Notices of Deficiency that substantially all of Tyco's intercompany debt originated during the 1997 - 2000 period should not be treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and has disallowed interest and related deductions recognized on U.S. income tax returns totaling approximately $2.9 billion . Tyco strongly disagrees with the IRS position and had filed petitions with the U.S. Tax Court contesting the IRS proposed adjustments. Tyco believes that it has meritorious defenses for its tax filings, that the IRS positions with regard to these matters are inconsistent with the applicable tax laws and existing Treasury regulations, and that the previously reported taxes for the years in question are appropriate.
No payments with respect to these matters would be required until the dispute is definitively resolved, which, based on the experience of other companies, could take several years. Tyco believes that its income tax reserves and the liabilities recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet for the tax sharing agreements continue to be appropriate. However, the ultimate resolution of these matters, and the impact of that resolution, are uncertain and could have a material impact on Tyco's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In particular, if the IRS is successful in asserting its claim, it would have an adverse impact on interest deductions related to the same intercompany debt in subsequent time periods, totaling approximately $6.6 billion , which is also expected to be disallowed by the IRS.
As noted above, Tyco has assessed its obligations under the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement to determine that its recorded liability is sufficient to cover the indemnifications made by it under such agreement. In the absence of observable transactions for identical or similar guarantees, Tyco determined the fair value of these guarantees and indemnifications utilizing expected

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

present value measurement techniques. Significant assumptions utilized to determine fair value included determining a range of potential outcomes, assigning a probability weighting to each potential outcome and estimating the anticipated timing of resolution. The probability weighted outcomes were discounted using Tyco's incremental borrowing rate. However, the ultimate resolution of these matters is uncertain and could result in a material adverse impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or the effective tax rate in future reporting periods.
In connection with the aforementioned audits, the IRS has assessed a civil fraud penalty of $21 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 against a prior subsidiary that was distributed to TE Connectivity in connection with the 2007 Separation. The penalties arise from actions of former executives taken in connection with intercompany transfers of stock of Simplex Technologies in 1998 and 1999. This is a pre-2007 Separation tax liability that is covered by the provisions of the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement.
In addition to dealing with tax liabilities for periods prior to the respective Separations, the 2012 and 2007 Tax Sharing Agreements contain sharing provisions to address the contingencies that the 2012 or 2007 Separations, or internal transactions related thereto, may be deemed taxable by U.S. or non U.S. taxing authorities. In the event the 2012 Separation is determined to be taxable and such determination was the result of actions taken after the 2012 Separations by Tyco, ADT or Pentair, the party responsible for such failure would be responsible for all taxes imposed on each company as a result thereof. If such determination is not the result of actions taken by Tyco, ADT or Pentair after the 2012 Separation, then Tyco, ADT and Pentair would be responsible for any taxes imposed on any of the companies as a result of such determination in the same manner and in the same proportions as described above. Similar provisions exist in the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement. If either of the 2007 or 2012 Separation, or internal transactions taken in anticipation thereof, were deemed taxable, the associated liability could be significant. Tyco is responsible for all of its own taxes that are not shared pursuant to the 2012 and 2007 Tax Sharing Agreements' sharing formulas. In addition, Pentair and ADT, and Covidien and TE Connectivity are responsible for their tax liabilities that are not subject to the 2012 or 2007 Tax Sharing Agreements' sharing formula, respectively.
Each of the 2012 and 2007 Tax Sharing Agreements provides that, if any party to such agreement were to default in its obligation to another party to pay its share of the distribution taxes that arise as a result of no party's fault, each non-defaulting party to the agreement would be required to pay, equally with any other non-defaulting party to the agreement, the amounts in default. In addition, if another party to the 2012 or 2007 Tax Sharing Agreements that is responsible for all or a portion of an income tax liability were to default in its payment of such liability to a taxing authority, Tyco could be liable under applicable tax law for such liabilities and required to make additional tax payments. Accordingly, under certain circumstances, Tyco may be obligated to pay amounts in excess of its agreed-upon share of its tax liabilities under either of the 2012 or 2007 Tax Sharing Agreements.
The receivables and liabilities related to the 2012 and 2007 Tax Sharing Agreements as of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 are as follows ($ in millions):

As a result of the 2012 separation, equity awards of certain employees were converted into the three companies. Pursuant to the terms of the 2012 Separation and Distribution Agreement, each of the three companies is responsible for issuing its own shares upon employee exercise of a stock option award or vesting of a restricted unit award. However, the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement provides that any allowable compensation tax deduction for such awards is to be claimed by the employee's current employer. The 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement requires the employer claiming a tax deduction for shares issued by the other companies to pay a percentage of the allowable tax deduction to the company issuing the equity.
During 2013 , Tyco incurred a charge of $38 million , to make payments to ADT and Pentair based on estimated allowable deductions for ADT and Pentair shares issued to Company employees, offset by income of $6 million to be received from ADT and Pentair for Company shares issued to their employees, resulting in a net impact of approximately $32 million which was recorded in Other expense, net within Tyco's Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Other Income Tax Matters
Except for earnings that are currently distributed, no additional material provision has been made for U.S. or non-U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries or for deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, since the earnings are expected to be permanently reinvested, the investments are essentially permanent in duration, or Tyco has concluded that no additional tax liability will arise as a result of the distribution of such earnings. A liability could arise if amounts are distributed by such subsidiaries or if such subsidiaries are ultimately disposed. It is not practicable to estimate the additional income taxes related to permanently reinvested earnings or the basis differences related to investments in subsidiaries.

The estimated aggregate amortization expense on intangible assets is expected to be approximately $92 million for 2014 , $74 million for 2015 , $67 million for 2016 , $58 million for 2017 and $214 million for 2018 and thereafter.
9. Related Party Transactions
The Company has amounts due related to loans and advances issued to employees in prior years under the Company's Key Employee Loan Program, relocation programs and other advances made to executives. Loans were provided to employees under the Company's Key Employee Loan Program, which is now discontinued, except for outstanding loans for the payment of taxes upon the vesting of shares granted under our Restricted Share Ownership Plans. During the fourth quarter of 2002, the Board of Directors and new senior management at that time adopted a policy under which no new loans are allowed to be granted to any officers of the Company and existing loans are not allowed to be extended or modified. There have been no loans made to any of the Company's current executives. The outstanding loans are not collateralized and bear interest, payable annually, at a rate based on the six-month LIBOR , calculated annually as the average of the rates in effect on the first day of each of the preceding 12 months. Loans are generally repayable in 10 years; however, earlier payments are required under certain circumstances, such as when an employee is terminated. In addition, the Company made mortgage loans to certain employees under employee relocation programs. These loans are generally payable in 15  years and are collateralized by the underlying property. The maximum amount outstanding under these programs was $21 million as of both September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 . Loans receivable under these programs, as well as other unsecured advances outstanding, were $21 million as of both September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 . The total outstanding loans receivable includes loans to L. Dennis Kozlowski, the Company's former chairman and chief executive officer (until June 2002). The amount outstanding under these loans, plus accrued interest, was $28 million as of both September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 and the rate of interest charged on such loans was 0.4% and 0.7% in 2013 and 2012, respectively. Interest income on these interest bearing loans was not material for all periods presented. Certain of the above loans totaling $1 million as of both September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 are non-interest bearing.
The Company filed civil complaints against Mr. Kozlowski, its former chief financial officer, Mark Swartz, and Frank E. Walsh, Jr., a former director for breach of fiduciary duty and other wrongful conduct. See Note 13.
During 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company engaged in commercial transactions in the normal course of business with companies where the Company's Directors were employed and served as officers. Purchases from these companies during each year aggregated less than 1% of consolidated net revenue.

Fair Value
The carrying amount of Tyco's debt subject to the fair value disclosure requirements as of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 was $1,443 million for both periods. The Company utilizes various valuation methodologies to determine the fair value of its debt, which is primarily dependent on the type of market in which the Company's debt is traded. When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of its debt that is traded in active markets. As of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , the fair value of the Company's debt which was actively traded was $1,676 million and $1,786 million , respectively. As of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , the Company's debt that was subject to the fair value disclosure requirements was all actively traded and is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 1 for further details on the fair value hierarchy.
Fiscal 2013 Debt Issuance/Repayment
There were no material debt issuances or repayments during 2013.
Fiscal 2012 Debt Issuance/Repayment
During the fourth quarter of 2012, in connection with the Separation, Tyco and its finance subsidiary, Tyco International Finance S.A. ("TIFSA"), redeemed various debt securities maturing from 2013 to 2023 issued by TIFSA and/or Tyco, in an aggregate principal amount of $2.6 billion as set forth below ($ in millions):

In conjunction with the debt redemptions, the Company terminated associated interest rate swap contracts related to the 6.0% Notes due 2013 and 4.125% Notes due 2014. As a result of the debt redemptions, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $453 million which was recorded within Other expense, net in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended September 28, 2012. The charge was comprised of the premium paid in the tender offers, write-off of the unamortized debt issuance costs and discount related to the extinguished notes, and a net gain recognized upon termination of the associated interest rate swap contracts.
Fiscal 2011 Debt Issuance/Repayment
On January 12, 2011, TIFSA issued $250 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Notes due on January 15, 2018 (the "2018 Notes") and $250 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% Notes due on January 15, 2023 (the "2023 Notes"), which were fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. TIFSA received total net proceeds of approximately $494 million after deducting debt issuance costs of approximately $1 million for the 2018 Notes and $2 million for the 2023 Notes, as well as debt discount of approximately $1 million for the 2018 Notes and $2 million for the 2023 Notes. The net proceeds of the aforementioned debt issuances, along with other available funds, were used to fund the repayment upon maturity of all of the Company's outstanding 6.75% Notes due February 2011 with a principal amount of $516 million . The 2018 Notes and the 2023 Notes are unsecured and rank equally with TIFSA's other unsecured and unsubordinated debt.
Prior to January 15, 2018 in the case of the 2018 Notes and prior to October 15, 2022 in the case of the 2023 Notes, TIFSA may redeem any of the notes at a redemption price equal to the greater of the principal amount of the notes of such series or a make-whole amount, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest. On or after October 15, 2022, TIFSA may redeem the 2023 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. The holders of both the 2018 Notes and the 2023 Notes have the right to require TIFSA to repurchase all or a portion of the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event, which requires both a change of control and rating event, each as defined in the indenture governing the notes. The debt issuance costs will be amortized from the date of issuance to the maturity

Commercial Paper
From time to time, TIFSA may issue commercial paper for general corporate purposes. The maximum aggregate amount of unsecured commercial paper notes available to be issued, on a private placement basis, under the commercial paper program is $1 billion as of September 27, 2013 . As of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , TIFSA had no commercial paper outstanding.
Credit Facilities
On June 22, 2012, TIFSA, as the Borrower, and the Company as the Guarantor, entered into a Five -Year Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, expiring June 22, 2017, and providing for revolving credit commitments in the aggregate amount of $1.0 billion (the "2012 Credit Agreement"). In connection with entering into the 2012 Credit Agreement, TIFSA and the Company terminated the existing Four -Year Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, dated March 24, 2011, which provided for revolving credit commitments in the aggregate amount of $750 million . Additionally, the Company's Five-Year Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, dated April 25, 2007 and as amended, terminated on September 28, 2012.
As a result of entering into the 2012 Credit Agreement and the terminations described above, the Company's committed revolving credit facility totaled $1.0 billion as of September 27, 2013 . This revolving credit facility may be used for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. As of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , there were no amounts drawn under the Company's revolving credit facilities. Interest under the revolving credit facilities is variable and is calculated by reference to LIBOR or an alternate base rate.
Other Debt Information
The aggregate amounts of principal public debt maturing during the next five years and thereafter are as follows: nil in 2014, nil in 2015, $258 million in 2016, nil in 2017, $67 million in 2018 and $1,111 million thereafter.
As of September 27, 2013 , the weighted-average interest rate on total debt was 6.5% . As of September 28, 2012 , the weighted-average interest rate on total debt, excluding the impact of interest rate swaps, was 6.5% . There was no public short-term debt outstanding as of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 . As of September 28, 2012 , the Company had terminated all interest rate swaps. The impact of the Company's interest rate swap agreements on reported interest expense prior to termination was a net decrease of $18 million and $22 million for the years ended September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011 , respectively.
11. Guarantees
Certain of the Company's business segments have guaranteed the performance of third-parties and provided financial guarantees for uncompleted work and financial commitments. The terms of these guarantees vary with end dates ranging from the current fiscal year through the completion of such transactions. The guarantees would typically be triggered in the event of nonperformance and performance under the guarantees, if required, would not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
There are certain guarantees or indemnifications extended among Tyco, Covidien, TE Connectivity, ADT and Pentair in accordance with the terms of the 2007 and 2012 Separation and Distribution Agreements and Tax Sharing Agreements. These guarantees primarily relate to certain contingent tax liabilities included in the Tax Sharing Agreements. See Note 6.
In addition, Tyco historically provided support in the form of financial and/or performance guarantees to various Covidien, TE Connectivity, ADT and Tyco Flow Control operating entities. In connection with both the 2012 and 2007 Separations, the Company worked with the guarantee counterparties to cancel or assign these guarantees to Covidien, TE Connectivity, ADT or Pentair, as appropriate. To the extent these guarantees were not assigned prior to the Separation dates, Tyco assumed primary liability on any remaining such support. The Company's obligations related to the 2012 Separation were $3 million , which were included in Other liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of both September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, with an offset to Tyco shareholders' equity on the 2012 Separation date. The Company's obligations related to the 2007 Separation were $3 million and $3 million , which were included in Other liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, respectively, with an offset to Tyco shareholders' equity on the 2007 Separation date.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

In disposing of assets or businesses, the Company often provides representations, warranties and/or indemnities to cover various risks including, for example, unknown damage to the assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability to investigate and remediate environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. The Company has no reason to believe that these uncertainties would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
As of September 27, 2013, the Company had total outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees of approximately $424 million .
The Company records estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale. See Note 1.
The changes in the carrying amount of the Company's warranty accrual from September 28, 2012 to September 27, 2013 were as follows ($ in millions):

12. Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investments, 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 September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 . The fair value of derivative financial instruments was not material to any of the periods presented. See below for the fair value of investments and Note 10 for the fair value of debt.
Derivative Instruments
In the normal course of business, Tyco is exposed to market risk arising from changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company may use derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to foreign currency, commodity and interest rate risks. The Company's objective for utilizing derivative financial instruments is to manage these risks using the most effective methods to eliminate or reduce the impacts of these exposures. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualified as hedging instruments for accounting purposes, the Company documented and linked the relationships between the hedging instruments and hedged items. The Company also assessed and documented at the hedge's inception whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions were effective in offsetting changes in fair values associated with the hedged items. These hedges did not result in any hedge ineffectiveness for the years ended September 27, 2013 , September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011 .
All derivative financial instruments are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value with changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments recognized currently in the Company's Statement of Operations, with the exception of net investment hedges for which changes in fair value are reported in the cumulative translation component of accumulated other comprehensive loss to the extent the hedges are effective. The ineffective portion of the hedge, if any, is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The derivative financial instruments and impact of such changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments was not material to the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 or Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statement of Cash Flows for the years ended September 27, 2013 , September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011 .

Table of Contents
TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Foreign Currency Exposures
The Company manages foreign currency exchange rate risk through the use of derivative financial instruments comprised principally of forward contracts on foreign currency which are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. The objective of the derivative instruments is to minimize the income statement impact and potential variability in cash flows associated with intercompany loans, accounts receivable, accounts payable and forecasted transactions that are denominated in certain foreign currencies. As of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , the total gross notional amount of the Company's foreign exchange contracts was $278 million and $225 million , respectively.
Effective March 17, 2009, Tyco changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from Bermuda to Switzerland. Tyco made the final dividend payment in the form of a reduction of capital in February 2011, denominated in Swiss francs (See Note 15). The Company paid dividends in U.S. dollars, based on the exchange rate in effect shortly before the payment date. Fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar compared to the Swiss franc between the date the dividend was approved and paid increased or decreased the U.S. dollar amount required to be paid. The Company managed the potential variability in cash flows associated with the dividend payments by entering into derivative financial instruments used as economic hedges of the underlying risk. Beginning in May 2011, the Company makes dividend payments out of contributed surplus in U.S. dollars which has eliminated the need to use currency hedges for dividend payments.
Counterparty Credit Risk
The use of derivative financial instruments exposes the Company to counterparty credit risk. If the counterparty fails to perform, the Company is exposed to losses if the derivative is in an asset position. When the fair value of a derivative instrument is an asset, the counterparty has to pay the Company to settle the contract. This exposes the Company to credit risk. However, when the fair value of a derivative instrument is a liability, the Company has to pay the counterparty to settle the contract and therefore there is no counterparty credit risk. Tyco has established policies and procedures to limit the potential for counterparty credit risk, including establishing limits for credit exposure and continually assessing the creditworthiness of counterparties. As a matter of practice, the Company deals with major banks worldwide having strong investment grade long-term credit ratings from Standard & Poor's and Moody's. To further reduce the risk of loss, the Company generally enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements with substantially all of its counterparties. Master netting agreements provide protection in bankruptcy in certain circumstances and, in some cases, enable receivables and payables with the same counterparty to be offset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, providing for a more meaningful balance sheet presentation of credit exposure. The Company's derivative contracts do not contain any credit risk related contingent features and do not require collateral or other security to be furnished by the Company or the counterparties.
The Company's exposure to credit risk associated with its derivative instruments is measured on an individual counterparty basis, as well as by groups of counterparties that share similar attributes. As of September 27, 2013 , the Company was exposed to industry concentration with financial institutions as well as risk of loss if an individual counterparty or issuer failed to perform its obligations under contractual terms. The maximum amount of loss that the Company would incur as of September 27, 2013 without giving consideration to the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements was approximately $4 million .
Investments
Investments primarily include cash equivalents, U.S. government obligations, U.S. government agency securities and corporate debt securities.
When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of investment securities. Such investments are included in Level 1. When quoted market prices are not readily available, pricing determinations are made based on the results of market approach valuation models using observable market data such as recently reported trades, bid and offer information and benchmark securities. These investments are included in Level 2 and consist primarily of U.S. government agency securities and corporate debt securities. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the valuation.
The following tables present the cost and fair market value of the Company's available-for-sale investments which are primarily held by the Company's captive insurance companies by type of security and classification in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 . In addition, the following tables present the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , by level within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company also has purchase obligations related to commitments to purchase certain goods and services. As of September 27, 2013 , such obligations were as follows: $334 million in 2014, $64 million in 2015, $42 million in 2016, $21 million in 2017 and $20 million in 2019 and thereafter.
In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Legacy Matters Related to Former Management
The Company is a party to several lawsuits involving disputes with former management, including its former chief executive officer, Mr. L. Dennis Kozlowski, and its former chief financial officer, Mr. Mark Swartz. The Company filed civil complaints against Mr. Kozlowski and Mr. Swartz for breach of fiduciary duty and other wrongful conduct relating to alleged abuses of the Company's Key Employee Loan Program and relocation program, unauthorized bonuses, unauthorized payments, self-dealing transactions and other improper conduct. In connection with Tyco's affirmative actions against Mr. Kozlowski and Mr. Swartz, Mr. Kozlowski, through counterclaims, and Mr. Swartz, through a separate lawsuit, sought an aggregate of approximately $140 million allegedly due in connection with their compensation and retention arrangements and under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"). A former director, Mr. Frank Walsh Jr. sought indemnification for legal and other expenses incurred by him in connection with the Company's affirmative action against him for breaches of fiduciary duties.
With respect to Mr. Kozlowski, on December 1, 2010, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York ruled in favor of several of the Company's affirmative claims against him before trial, while dismissing all of Mr. Kozlowski's counterclaims for pay and benefits after 1995. Prior to the commencement of trial, the parties reached an agreement in principle to resolve the matter, with Mr. Kozlowski agreeing to release the Company from any claims to monetary amounts related to compensation, retention or other arrangements alleged to have existed between him and the Company. Although the parties have reached an agreement in principle, until the settlement agreement is signed, the Company will continue to maintain the amounts recorded in its Consolidated Balance Sheet, which reflect a net liability of approximately $91 million , for the amounts allegedly due under his compensation and retention arrangements and under ERISA.
With respect to Mr. Swartz, on March 3, 2011, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York granted the Company's motion for summary judgment as to liability for its affirmative actions and further ruled that issues related to damages would need to be resolved at trial. During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company reversed a $50 million liability related to Mr. Swartz's pay and benefits due to the expiration of the statute of limitations, which was recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. On May 15, 2012, Mr. Swartz filed a lawsuit against Tyco in New York state court claiming entitlement to monies under ERISA. The Company removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and filed a motion to dismiss Mr. Swartz's claims for multiple reasons, including that the statute of limitations had expired, at the latest, during the second quarter of fiscal 2012. A trial to determine the Company's damages from Mr. Swartz's breaches of fiduciary duty concluded on October 17, 2012. At the conclusion of the trial, the Court ruled that the Company was entitled to recover all monies earned by Mr. Swartz in connection with his employment by Tyco between September 1, 1995 and June 1, 2002. The Company filed a motion requesting the entry of monetary sum certain judgment in conformity with the Court's ruling regarding the time period of disgorgement. The motion

also requested interest related to the monies Mr. Swartz was found to have unlawfully taken from the Company. In March 2013, the Court entered an order awarding the Company's request for interest. In connection with Mr. Swartz's affirmative claims against the Company, the Court dismissed all of Mr. Swartz's claims except one claim in which Mr. Swartz contends he is entitled to reimbursement from the Company for taxes he paid in connection with his 2002 Separation Agreement. In July 2013, the parties reached an agreement in principle to resolve the matter, with Mr. Swartz agreeing to release the Company from any claims to monetary amounts related to compensation, retention or other arrangements alleged to have existed between him and the Company. Although the parties have reached an agreement in principle, a final settlement agreement has not yet been executed.
With respect to Mr. Walsh, in June 2002, the Company filed a civil complaint against him for breach of fiduciary duty, inducing breaches of fiduciary duty and related wrongful conduct involving a $20 million payment by Tyco, $10 million of which was paid to Mr. Walsh with the balance paid to a charity of which Mr. Walsh is trustee. The payment was purportedly made for Mr. Walsh's assistance in arranging the Company's acquisition of The CIT Group, Inc. Separately, Mr. Walsh filed a New York state court claim against the Company asserting his entitlement to indemnification. In March 2013, Mr. Walsh and the Company entered into a settlement agreement resolving all claims they had against each other related to these lawsuits with no payments made by either party.
Environmental Matters
Tyco 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 September 27, 2013 , Tyco concluded that it was probable that it would incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $74 million to $162 million . As of September 27, 2013 , Tyco concluded that the best estimate within this range is approximately $105 million , of which $82 million is included in Accrued and other current liabilities and Accounts payable and $23 million is included in Other liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The majority of the liabilities described above relate to ongoing remediation efforts at a facility in the Company's Global Products segment located in Marinette, Wisconsin, which the Company acquired in 1990 in connection with its acquisition of, among other things, the Ansul product line. Prior to Tyco's acquisition, Ansul manufactured arsenic-based agricultural herbicides at the Marinette facility, which resulted in significant arsenic contamination of soil and groundwater on the Marinette site and in parts of the adjoining Menominee River. Ansul has been engaged in ongoing remediation efforts at the Marinette site since 1990, and in February 2009 entered into an Administrative Consent Order (the "Consent Order") with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to address the presence of arsenic at the Marinette site. Under this agreement, Ansul's principal obligations are to contain the arsenic contamination on the site, pump and treat on-site groundwater, dredge, treat and properly dispose of contaminated sediments in the adjoining river areas, and monitor contamination levels on an ongoing basis. Activities completed under the Consent Order since 2009 include the installation of a subsurface barrier wall around the facility to contain contaminated groundwater, the installation of a groundwater extraction and treatment system and the dredging and offsite disposal of treated river sediment. As a result of treatability studies concluded during the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company became aware that additional river sediment beyond what was originally planned would require treatment under the Consent Order for river sediment remediation. This caused the Company to increase its agreed upon remedial activities through the fall of 2013 in order to achieve compliance with the Consent Order. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the deadline for completing the remediation was extended through December 31, 2013, and the Company intends to complete the activities required under the Consent Order within the extended timeframe. As a result of the increased level of remediation required, the Company recorded approximately $100 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the first half of the year ended September 27, 2013. As of September 27, 2013 , the Company concluded that its remaining remediation and monitoring costs related to the Marinette facility were in the range of approximately $62 million to $137 million . The Company's best estimate within that range is approximately $93 million , of which $79 million is included in Accrued and other current liabilities and Accounts payable and $14 million is included in Other liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company recorded $17 million and $11 million during the years ended September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011 , respectively, within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Since fiscal 2009, the year in which the Company received the Consent Order, the Company has incurred environmental remediation costs net of insurance recoveries of $132 million . Although the Company has recorded its best estimate of the costs that it will incur to remediate and monitor the arsenic contamination at the Marinette facility, it is possible that technological, regulatory or enforcement developments, the results of environmental studies or other factors could change the Company's expectations with respect to future charges and cash outlays, and such changes could be material to the Company's future results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Asbestos Matters
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries along with numerous other companies are named as defendants in personal injury lawsuits based on alleged exposure to asbestos containing materials. These cases typically involve product liability claims based primarily on allegations of manufacture, sale or distribution of industrial products that either contained asbestos or were attached to or used with asbestos containing components manufactured by third parties. Each case typically names between dozens to hundreds of corporate defendants. While the Company has observed an increase in the number of these lawsuits over the past several years, including lawsuits by plaintiffs with mesothelioma related claims, a large percentage of these suits have not presented viable legal claims and, as a result, have been dismissed by the courts. The Company's historical strategy has been to mount a vigorous defense aimed at having unsubstantiated suits dismissed, and, where appropriate, settling suits before trial. Although a large percentage of litigated suits have been dismissed, the Company cannot predict the extent to which it will be successful in resolving lawsuits in the future. In addition, the Company continues to assess its strategy for resolving asbestos claims. Due to the number of claims and limited amount of assets held by Yarway Corporation ("Yarway"), one of the Company's indirect subsidiaries, on April 22, 2013 Yarway filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. As a result of this filing, all asbestos claims against Yarway have been stayed pending confirmation of a plan of reorganization by the Bankruptcy Court. Yarway's goal is to negotiate, obtain approval of, and consummate a plan of reorganization that establishes an appropriately funded trust to provide for the fair and equitable payment of legitimate current and future Yarway asbestos claims, accompanied by appropriate injunctive relief permanently protecting Yarway and certain other protected parties from any further asbestos claims arising from products manufactured, sold, and/or distributed by Yarway. Upon confirmation of such plan of reorganization, the Company expects to deconsolidate Yarway. As a result of filing the voluntary petition during the year, the Company recorded an expected loss upon deconsolidation of $10 million related to the Yarway bankruptcy petition. Although the terms of Yarway's plan of reorganization are unknown at this time, the Company does not expect them to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
As of September 27, 2013 , the Company has determined that there were approximately 5,200 claims pending against it, its subsidiaries or entities for which the Company has assumed responsibility in connection with acquisitions and divestitures. This amount reflects the Company's current estimate of the number of viable claims made against such entities and includes adjustments for claims that are not actively being prosecuted, identify incorrect defendants, are duplicative of other actions or for which the Company is indemnified.
The Company's estimate of its liability and corresponding insurance recovery for pending and future claims and defense costs is based on the Company's historical claim experience, and estimates of the number and resolution cost of potential future claims that may be filed. The Company's legal strategy for resolving claims also impacts these estimates. The Company considers various trends and developments in evaluating the period of time (the look-back period) over which historical claim and settlement experience is used to estimate and value claims reasonably projected to be made in the future during a defined period of time (the look-forward period). On a quarterly basis, the Company assesses the sufficiency of its estimated liability for pending and future claims and defense costs by evaluating actual experience regarding claims filed, settled and dismissed, and amounts paid in settlements. In addition to claims and settlement experience, the Company considers additional quantitative and qualitative factors such as changes in legislation, the legal environment, and the Company's defense strategy. It also evaluates the recoverability of its insurance receivable on a quarterly basis. The Company evaluates all of these factors and determines whether a change in the estimate of its liability for pending and future claims and defense costs or insurance receivable is warranted.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company determined that a look-back period of three years was more appropriate than a five year period because the Company had experienced a higher and more consistent level of claims activity and settlement costs in the past three years. The Company also revised its look-forward period from seven years to fifteen years , or 2027. The Company's decision to revise its look-forward period was primarily based on improvements in the consistency of observable data and the Company's more extensive experience with asbestos claims since the look-forward period was originally established in 2005. The revisions to the Company's look-forward and look-back periods were not applied to claims made against Yarway. Excluding these claims, the Company believed it could make a more reliable estimate of pending and future claims beyond seven years. The Company believed valuation of pending claims and future claims to be filed through 2027 produced a reasonable estimate of its asbestos liability, which it recorded in the consolidated financial statements on an undiscounted basis. The effect of the change in the Company's look-back and look-forward periods reduced income from continuing operations before income taxes and net income by approximately $90 million and $55 million , respectively. In addition, the effect of the change increased the Company's basic and diluted loss from continuing operations by $0.12 per share and decreased the Company's basic and diluted net income by $0.12 per share.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The Company's estimate of asbestos related insurance recoveries represents estimated amounts due to the Company for previously paid and settled claims and the probable reimbursements relating to its estimated liability for pending and future claims. In determining the amount of insurance recoverable, the Company considers a number of factors, including available insurance, allocation methodologies, and the solvency and creditworthiness of insurers. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company reached an agreement with one of its primary insurance carriers for asbestos related claims. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company agreed with the insurance carrier to accept a lump sum cash payment of $97 million in respect of certain policies, and has reached a coverage-in-place agreement with the insurance carrier with respect to certain claims. Upon receipt of the payments from the insurance carrier in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company terminated a cost-sharing agreement that it had entered into with an entity that it had acquired a business from several decades ago and as a result, has access to all of the insurance policies and is responsible for all liabilities arising from asbestos claims made against the subsidiary that was acquired.
As of September 27, 2013 , the Company's estimated net liability of $169 million was recorded within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as a liability for pending and future claims and related defense costs of $321 million , and separately as an asset for insurance recoveries of $152 million . The Company believes that its asbestos related liabilities and insurance related assets as of September 27, 2013 are appropriate. Similarly, as of September 28, 2012 , the Company's estimated net liability of $155 million was recorded within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as a liability for pending and future claims and related defense costs of $401 million , and separately as an asset for insurance recoveries of $246 million .
The net liabilities reflected in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet represent the Company's best estimates of probable losses for the look-forward periods described above. It is reasonably possible that losses will be incurred for claims made subsequent to such look-forward periods. However, due to the inherent uncertainty and lack of reliable trend data in predicting losses beyond 2027, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the amount of losses beyond such date. Accordingly, no accrual has been recorded for any costs which may be incurred for claims which may be made subsequent to 2027. With respect to claims made against Yarway, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate losses beyond what it has accrued because it is uncertain what the impact of Yarway's reorganization plan under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code will be on the Company. However, the Company does not expect the impact to be materially adverse to its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
The amounts recorded by the Company for asbestos-related liabilities and insurance-related assets are based on the Company's strategies for resolving its asbestos claims, currently available information, and a number of estimates and assumptions. Key variables and assumptions include the number and type of new claims that are filed each year, the average cost of resolution of claims, the resolution of coverage issues with insurance carriers, amount of insurance and the solvency risk with respect to the Company's insurance carriers. Many of these factors are closely linked, such that a change in one variable or assumption will impact one or more of the others, and no single variable or assumption predominately influences the determination of the Company's asbestos-related liabilities and insurance-related assets. Furthermore, predictions with respect to these variables are subject to greater uncertainty in the later portion of the projection period. Other factors that may affect the Company's liability and cash payments for asbestos-related matters include uncertainties surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case, reforms of state or federal tort legislation and the applicability of insurance policies among subsidiaries. As a result, actual liabilities or insurance recoveries could be significantly higher or lower than those recorded if assumptions used in the Company's calculations vary significantly from actual results.
Compliance Matters
As previously reported in the Company's periodic filings, in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2012, the Company settled with the Department of Justice ("DOJ") and the SEC charges related to alleged improper payments made by the Company's subsidiaries and agents in recent years, and agreed to pay approximately $26 million in fines, disgorgement and prejudgment interest to the DOJ and SEC, which the Company had previously reserved in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company paid the DOJ approximately $13 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and paid approximately $13 million to the SEC in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.
Covidien and TE Connectivity agreed, in connection with the 2007 Separation, to cooperate with the Company in its responses regarding these matters, and agreed that liabilities primarily related to the former Healthcare and Electronics businesses of the Company would be assigned to Covidien and TE Connectivity, respectively. As a result, Covidien and TE Connectivity have agreed to contribute approximately $5 million and immaterial amounts, respectively, toward the aforementioned $26 million .
Tax Litigation

TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Tyco and its subsidiaries' income tax returns are examined periodically by various tax authorities. In connection with these examinations, tax authorities, including the IRS, have raised issues and proposed tax adjustments, in particular with respect to years preceding the 2007 Separation. The issues and proposed adjustments related to such years are generally subject to the sharing provisions of a tax sharing agreement entered in 2007 with Covidien and TE Connectivity (the "2007 Tax Sharing Agreement") under which Tyco, Covidien and TE Connectivity share 27% , 42% and 31% , respectively, of shared income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to Tyco's, Covidien's and TE Connectivity's U.S. and certain non-U.S. income tax returns. The costs and expenses associated with the management of these shared tax liabilities are generally shared equally among the parties. Tyco has previously disclosed that in connection with U.S. federal tax audits, the IRS has raised a number of issues and proposed tax adjustments for periods beginning with the 1997 tax year. Although Tyco has been able to resolve substantially all of the issues and adjustments proposed by the IRS for tax years through 2007, it has not been able to resolve matters related to the treatment of certain intercompany debt transactions during the period. As a result, on June 20, 2013, Tyco received Notices of Deficiency from the IRS asserting that several of Tyco's former U.S. subsidiaries owe additional taxes of $883.3 million plus penalties of $154 million based on audits of the 1997 through 2000 tax years of Tyco and its subsidiaries as they existed at that time. In addition, Tyco received Final Partnership Administrative Adjustments for certain U.S. partnerships owned by former U.S. subsidiaries with respect to which an additional tax deficiency of approximately $30 million is expected to be asserted. These amounts exclude interest and do not reflect the impact on subsequent periods if the IRS position described below is ultimately proved correct.
The IRS asserted in the Notices of Deficiency that substantially all of Tyco's intercompany debt originated during the 1997 - 2000 period should not be treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and has disallowed interest and related deductions recognized on U.S. income tax returns totaling approximately $2.9 billion . Tyco strongly disagrees with the IRS position and has filed petitions with the U.S. Tax Court contesting the IRS proposed adjustments. Tyco believes that it has meritorious defenses for its tax filings, that the IRS positions with regard to these matters are inconsistent with the applicable tax laws and existing Treasury regulations, and that the previously reported taxes for the years in question are appropriate.
No payments with respect to these matters would be required until the dispute is definitively resolved, which, based on the experience of other companies, could take several years. Tyco believes that its income tax reserves and the liabilities recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet for the tax sharing agreements continue to be appropriate. However, the ultimate resolution of these matters, and the impact of that resolution, are uncertain and could have a material impact on Tyco's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In particular, if the IRS is successful in asserting its claim, it would have an adverse impact on interest deductions related to the same intercompany debt in subsequent time periods, totaling approximately $6.6 billion , which is expected to be disallowed by the IRS.
See Note 6 for additional information related to income tax matters.
Other Matters
During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, an adverse judgment was entered by the United States District Court for the District of Colorado regarding an insurance claim made on behalf of Sonitrol Corporation, a former subsidiary of the Company, for insurance coverage for damages arising from a burglary and fire occurring at a warehouse monitored by Sonitrol in December 2002. The judgment reversed the District Court's prior finding that Sonitrol's actions were not the type of conduct that was uninsurable based on public policy grounds. As a result, the Company reversed an insurance receivable of $26.5 million within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the quarter ended June 28, 2013. The Company is appealing the District Court's ruling to the United States Circuit Court for the Tenth Circuit and will retry the underlying damages action against Sonitrol in Colorado state court.
In addition to the foregoing, the Company is subject to claims and suits, including from time to time, contractual disputes and product and general liability claims, incidental to present and former operations, acquisitions and dispositions. With respect to many of these claims, the Company either self-insures or maintains insurance through third-parties, with varying deductibles. While the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the resolution of any such proceedings, whether the underlying claims are covered by insurance or not, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows beyond amounts recorded for such matters.
14. Retirement Plans
The Company sponsors a number of pension plans. The Company measures its pension plans as of its fiscal year end. The following disclosures exclude the impact of plans which are immaterial individually and in the aggregate.

In determining the expected return on plan assets, the Company considers the relative weighting of plan assets by asset class, historical performance of asset classes over long-term periods, asset class performance expectations as well as current and future economic conditions.
The Company's investment strategy for its pension plans is to manage the plans on a going-concern basis. Current investment policy is to maintain an adequate level of diversification while maximizing the return on assets, subject to a prudent level of portfolio risk, for the purpose of enhancing the security of benefits for participants as well as providing adequate liquidity to meet immediate and future benefit payment requirements. In addition, local regulations and local financial considerations are factors in determining the appropriate investment strategy in each country. For U.S. pension plans, this policy targets a 60% allocation to equity securities and a 40% allocation to debt securities. Various asset allocation strategies are in place for non-U.S. pension plans, with a weighted-average target allocation of 49% to equity securities, 47% to debt securities and 4% to other asset classes.
Pension plans have the following weighted-average asset allocations:

Although the Company does not buy or sell any of its own securities as a direct investment for its pension funds, due to external investment management in certain commingled funds, the plans may indirectly hold Tyco securities. The aggregate amount of the securities would not be considered material relative to the total fund assets.
The Company evaluates its defined benefit plans' asset portfolios for the existence of significant concentrations of risk. Types of investment concentration risks that are evaluated include, but are not limited to, concentrations in a single entity, industry, foreign country and individual fund manager. As of September 27, 2013 , there were no significant concentrations of risk in the Company's defined benefit plan assets.
The Company's plan assets are accounted for at fair value and are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value of assets and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The Company's asset allocations by level within the fair value hierarchy as of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 are presented in the table below for the Company's material defined benefit plans.

Equity securities consist primarily of publicly traded U.S. and non-U.S. equities. Publicly traded securities are valued at the last trade or closing price reported in the active market in which the individual securities are traded. Certain equity securities are held within commingled funds which are valued at the unitized net asset value ("NAV") or percentage of the net asset value as determined by the custodian of the fund. These values are based on the fair value of the underlying net assets owned by the fund.
Fixed income securities consist primarily of government and government agency securities, corporate debt securities, and mortgage and other asset-backed securities. When available, fixed income securities are valued at the closing price reported in the active market in which the individual security is traded. Government and government agency securities and corporate debt securities are valued using the most recent bid prices or occasionally the mean of the latest bid and ask prices when markets are less liquid. Asset-backed securities including mortgage backed securities are valued using broker/dealer quotes when available. When quotes are not available, fair value is determined utilizing a discounted cash flow approach, which incorporates other observable inputs such as cash flows, underlying security structure and market information including interest rates and bid evaluations of comparable securities. Certain fixed income securities are held within commingled funds which are valued unitizing NAV determined by the custodian of the fund. These values are based on the fair value of the underlying net assets owned by the fund.
Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of short-term commercial paper, bonds and other cash or cash-like instruments including settlement proceeds due from brokers, stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

The strategy of the Company's investment managers with regard to the investments valued using NAV or its equivalent is to either match or exceed relevant benchmarks associated with the respective asset category. None of the investments valued using NAV or its equivalent contain any redemption restrictions or unfunded commitments.
During 2013, the Company contributed $9 million to its U.S. and $47 million to its non-U.S. pension plans, which represented the Company's minimum required contributions to its pension plans for fiscal year 2012. The Company did not make any voluntary contributions to its U.S. and non-U.S. plans during 2013.
The Company's funding policy is to make contributions in accordance with the laws and customs of the various countries in which it operates as well as to make discretionary voluntary contributions from time-to-time. The Company anticipates that it will contribute at least the minimum required to its pension plans in 2014 of $25 million for the U.S. plans and $35 million for non-U.S. plans.
Benefit payments, including those amounts to be paid out of corporate assets and reflecting future expected service as appropriate, are expected to be paid as follows ($ in millions):

The Company also participates in a number of multi-employer defined benefit plans on behalf of certain employees. Pension expense related to multi-employer plans was not material for 2013 , 2012 and 2011 .
Executive Retirement Arrangements —Messrs. Kozlowski and Swartz participated in individual Executive Retirement Arrangements maintained by Tyco (the "ERA"). Under the ERA, Messrs. Kozlowski and Swartz would have fixed lifetime benefits commencing at their normal retirement age of 65 . During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company reversed the liability related to Mr. Swartz's pay and benefits due to the expiration of the statute of limitations, which was recorded in

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company's accrued benefit obligation for Mr. Kozlowski as of September 27, 2013 was $93 million . The Company's accrued benefit obligations for Messrs. Kozlowski and Swartz as of September 28, 2012 were $93 million and nil , respectively. Retirement benefits are available at earlier ages and alternative forms of benefits can be elected. Any such variations would be actuarially equivalent to the fixed lifetime benefit starting at age 65 . Amounts owed to Mr. Kozlowski under the ERA are the subject of litigation brought by the Company against him. See Note 13.
Defined Contribution Retirement Plans —The Company maintains several defined contribution retirement plans, which include 401(k) matching programs, as well as qualified and nonqualified profit sharing and share bonus retirement plans. Expense for the defined contribution plans is computed as a percentage of participants' compensation and was $63 million , $58 million , and $54 million for 2013 , 2012 and 2011 , respectively. The Company maintained an unfunded Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP") for fiscal years 2012 and 2011. This plan is nonqualified and restores the employer match that certain employees lose due to IRS limits on eligible compensation under the defined contribution plans. The expense related to the SERP was not material for 2012 and 2011. The SERP was merged with the other nonqualified deferred compensation plans, discussed in the next paragraph, as of September 28, 2012.
Deferred Compensation Plans —The Company has nonqualified deferred compensation plans, which permit eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation. A record keeping account is set up for each participant and the participant chooses from a variety of measurement funds for the deemed investment of their accounts. The measurement funds correspond to a number of funds in the Company's 401(k) plans and the account balance fluctuates with the investment returns on those funds. Deferred compensation liabilities were $113 million and $103 million as of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , respectively. Deferred compensation expense was not material for 2013 , 2012 and 2011 .
Postretirement Benefit Plans —The Company generally does not provide postretirement benefits other than pensions for its employees. However, certain acquired operations provide these benefits to employees who were eligible at the date of acquisition, and a small number of U.S. and Canadian operations provide ongoing eligibility for such benefits.
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost was not material for 2013 , 2012 and 2011 . The Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets include unfunded postretirement benefit obligations of $33 million and $40 million as of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , respectively within other liabilities. The Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets include nil of postretirement benefit assets as of both September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 . In addition, the Company recorded a net actuarial gain of $8 million and $4 million within accumulated other comprehensive loss as of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 , respectively.
The Company expects to make contributions to its postretirement benefit plans of $3 million in 2014 .
Benefit payments, including those amounts to be paid out of corporate assets and reflecting future expected service as appropriate, are expected to be paid as follows ($ in millions):

15. Shareholders' Equity and Comprehensive Income
Dividends
Prior to May 2011, the Company paid dividends in the form of a return of share capital from the Company's registered share capital. These payments were made free of Swiss withholding taxes. The Company now makes dividend payments from its contributed surplus equity position in its Swiss statutory accounts. These payments are also made free of Swiss withholding taxes. Unlike payments made in the form of a reduction to registered share capital, which are required to be denominated in Swiss francs and converted to U.S. dollars at the time of payment, payments from the contributed surplus account may effectively be denominated in U.S. dollars.
Under Swiss law, the authority to declare dividends is vested in the general meeting of shareholders. On March 6, 2013, the Company's shareholders approved a cash dividend of $0.64 per share, payable to shareholders in four quarterly installments

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

of $0.16 in May 2013, August 2013, November 2013 and February 2014. As a result, during the quarter ended March 29, 2013, the Company recorded an accrued dividend of $296 million within Accrued and other current liabilities and a corresponding reduction to Contributed surplus on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. The first installment of $0.16 was paid on May 22, 2013 to shareholders of record on April 26, 2013. The second installment of $0.16 was paid on August 21, 2013 to shareholders of record on July 26, 2013. The third installment of $0.16 was paid on November 14, 2013 to shareholders of record on October 25, 2013.
On March 7, 2012, the Company's shareholders approved a cash dividend of $0.50 per share, payable to shareholders in two quarterly installments of $0.25 on May 23, 2012 and August 22, 2012. On September 17, 2012, the Company's shareholders approved a cash dividend of $0.30 per share, payable to shareholders in two quarterly installments of $0.15 on November 15, 2012 and February 20, 2013. The $0.30 dividend reflects the impact of the 2012 Separation on the Company's dividend policy. As a result, the Company recorded an accrued dividend of $231 million as of March 7, 2012 and an additional accrued dividend of $139 million as of September 17, 2012 within Accrued and other current liabilities and a corresponding reduction to Contributed surplus. The first installment of $0.25 was paid on May 23, 2012 to shareholders on record on April 27, 2012. The second installment of $0.25 was paid on August 22, 2012 to shareholders on record on July 27, 2012. The first installment of $0.15 of the $0.30 dividend was paid on November 15, 2012 to shareholders of record on October 16, 2012. The second installment of $0.15 of the $0.30 dividend was paid on February 20, 2013 to shareholders of record on January 25, 2013.
On March 9, 2011, the Company's shareholders approved an annual dividend on the Company's common shares of $1.00 per share, which was paid from contributed surplus in four installments of $0.25 per share to shareholders on record on April 29, 2011, July 29, 2011, October 28, 2011 and January 27, 2012. As a result, the Company recorded an accrued dividend of $468 million as of March 9, 2011 within Accrued and other current liabilities and a corresponding reduction to Contributed surplus.
Common Stock
As of September 27, 2013, the Company's share capital amounted to CHF  243,181,525 , or 486,363,050 registered common shares with a par value of CHF  0.50 per share. Until March 6, 2015, the Board of Directors may increase the Company's share capital by a maximum amount of CHF  121,500,000 by issuing a maximum of 243,000,000 shares. In addition, (i) the share capital of the Company may be increased by an amount not exceeding CHF  23,964,755 through the issue of a maximum of 47,929,510 shares through the exercise of conversion and/or option or warrant rights granted in connection with bonds, notes or similar instruments and (ii) the share capital of the Company may be increased by an amount not exceeding CHF  23,964,755 through the issue of a maximum of 47,929,510 shares to employees and other persons providing services to the Company. 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.
On March 6, 2013, shareholders of the Company approved a reduction of the Company's registered share capital from CHF  3,258,632,435 to CHF  243,181,525 by reducing the par value of each share from CHF  6.70 to CHF  0.50 per share and correspondingly increasing the Company's contributed surplus by CHF  3,015,450,910 . The reduction in registered share capital and corresponding increase in contributed surplus is intended to provide the Company with more flexibility in making distributions to shareholders. On May 13, 2013, the notice period required in accordance with Swiss law expired, and the amendment to the Company's Articles of Association was filed with the Swiss Commercial Register on May 15, 2013. As a result, the reduction in registered share capital and corresponding increase in contributed surplus, which did not result in any changes to total Shareholders' Equity, was recorded during the year ended September 27, 2013.
Share Repurchase Program
The Company's Board of Directors approved the $600 million 2013 share repurchase program, the $1.0 billion 2011 share repurchase program and the $1.0 billion 2010 share repurchase program in January 2013, April 2011 and September 2010, respectively. Share repurchases reduce the amount of common shares outstanding and decrease the dividends declared on the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity.

The Company has recognized a related tax benefit associated with its share-based compensation arrangements during 2013, 2012 and 2011 of $20 million , $43 million and $31 million , of which nil , $8 million and $6 million is included in Discontinued operations, respectively.
In connection with the 2012 Separation, most employees' outstanding stock option awards were converted into options to acquire the stock of the employee's post-Separation employer in a manner designed to preserve the intrinsic value of such awards. However, for certain corporate employees and for all terminated employees, all or a portion of such employees' stock option awards were converted into options to acquire the stock of each of the Company, Pentair and ADT. The modifications made to the share options as a result of the 2012 Separation constituted a modification under the authoritative guidance for accounting for stock compensation, which requires a comparison of fair values of the stock option awards immediately before the 2012 Separation and the fair values immediately after the 2012 Separation. In certain instances, the fair value immediately after the 2012 Separation was higher. As a result, the modification resulted in incremental compensation cost of $1 million , the majority of which was recorded in Discontinued operations for the year ended September 28, 2012. Except for the changes described, the material terms of the stock option awards remained unchanged from the original grant. While the equity awards held by employees were converted as of September 28, 2012, the 2012 and 2011 grant date fair values, intrinsic values, vested values and black-scholes assumptions are on a pre-conversion basis.
Also in connection with the 2012 Separation, restricted stock units held by Tyco employees and deferred stock units held by Tyco directors were converted, in some cases, into restricted stock units in the Company, Pentair and ADT, and in other cases, solely into restricted stock units of the employee's post-Separation employer. All such modifications were designed in a manner to preserve the intrinsic value of such awards. Except for the changes described, the material terms of the restricted stock units and deferred stock units remained unchanged from the original grant.
On July 12, 2012, in connection with the 2012 Separation, the Board of Directors approved the conversion of all outstanding performance share units of the Company into restricted stock units based on performance achieved through

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

June 29, 2012. Each performance share unit converted into a number of restricted stock units at a ratio determined by the Compensation Committee on August 2, 2012 based on its review and certification of performance results through June 29, 2012. Upon vesting of the resulting restricted stock units, each award will be settled in stock. All awards maintained their original vesting terms. The modifications made to the market-based condition of outstanding performance share units as a result of the 2012 Separation also constituted a modification similar to the modification described above. As a result, the modification resulted in incremental compensation cost of $8 million , of which $7 million was recorded in Separation costs and $1 million in Discontinued operations for the year ended September 28, 2012. In addition, incremental expense was recognized in the quarter related to the performance achieved through June 29, 2012. Such expense totaled $7 million , of which $6 million was recorded in Separation costs and $1 million in Discontinued operations for the year ended September 28, 2012.
On September 17, 2012, shareholders approved the Tyco International 2012 Stock and Incentive Plan (the "2012 Plan") which replaces the 2004 Tyco International Ltd. Stock and Incentive Plan (the "2004 Plan").  The 201 2 Plan provides for the award of stock options, stock appreciation rights, annual performance bonuses, long term performance awards, restricted units, restricted shares, deferred stock units, promissory stock and other stock-based awards (collectively, "Awards").  Pursuant to the 2012 Plan, effective October 1, 2012, 50 million common shares are available for equity-based awards, subject to adjustments as provided under the terms of the 2012 Plan. No additional shares are available under the 2004 Plan. In addition, any common shares which have been awarded under the 2004 Plan but which are not issued, owing to expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, return to the Company or settlement in cash in lieu of common shares on or after January 1, 2004 and which are no longer available for any reason will also be available for issuance under the 2012 Plan. When common shares are issued pursuant to a grant of a full value award (for example, restricted stock units and performance share units), the total number of common shares remaining available for grant will be decreased by 3.32 shares. As of September 27, 2013, there were approximately 40 million shares available for grant under the 2012 Plan.

During 2004, the 2004 Plan effectively replaced the Tyco International Ltd. Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended as of May 12, 1999 (the "LTIP I Plan") and the Tyco International Ltd. Long Term Incentive Plan II (the "LTIP II Plan") for all awards effective on and after March 25, 2004. The 2004 Plan provided for the award of stock options, stock appreciation rights, annual performance bonuses, long term performance awards, restricted units, restricted shares, deferred stock units, promissory stock and other stock-based awards (collectively, "Awards"). As of September 27, 2013, an immaterial number of stock units remained outstanding which were granted under LTIP I and LTIP II prior to termination.
The 2004 Plan provided for a maximum of 40 million common shares to be issued as Awards, subject to adjustment as provided under the terms of the 2004 Plan. In addition, any common shares that have been approved by the Company's shareholders for issuance under the LTIP Plans but which have not been awarded there under as of January 1, 2004, reduced by the number of common shares related to Awards made under the LTIP Plans between January 1, 2004 and March 25, 2004, the date the 2004 Plan was approved by shareholders, (or which have been awarded but will not be issued, owing to expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, return to the Company or settlement in cash in lieu of common shares on or after January 1, 2004) and which are no longer available for any reason (including the termination of the LTIP Plans) were available for issuance under the 2004 Plan, and now are subsequently available for issuance under the 2012 Plan. When common shares are issued pursuant to a grant of a full value award, the total number of common shares remaining available for grant will be decreased by a margin of at least 1.8 per share issued. As of October 1, 2012, the 2012 Plan replaced the 2004 Plan and no further awards are permitted to be granted under the 2004 Plan.
Share Options —Options are granted to purchase common shares at prices that are equal to or greater than the closing market price of the common shares on the date the option is granted. Conditions of vesting are determined at the time of grant. Options are generally exercisable in equal annual installments over a period of four years and will generally expire 10  years after the date of grant. Historically, the Company's practice has been to settle stock option exercises through either newly issued shares or from shares held in treasury.
The grant-date fair value of each option grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. Use of a valuation model requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs. Expected volatility is calculated based on an analysis of historic and implied volatility measures for a set of peer companies. The average expected life is based on the contractual term of the option and expected employee exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life assumed at the date of grant. The compensation expense recognized is net of estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated based on voluntary termination behavior, as well as an analysis of actual share option forfeitures. The weighted-

As of September 27, 2013, there was $32 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options granted. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 fiscal years.
Employee Stock Purchase Plans —Tyco Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") was suspended indefinitely during the fourth quarter of 2009.   As of September 27, 2013, there were approximately 3 million shares available for grant under the ESPP.
Restricted Share Awards —Restricted share awards, including restricted stock units and performance share units are granted subject to certain restrictions. Conditions of vesting are determined at the time of grant. Restrictions on the award generally lapse upon normal retirement, if more than twelve months from the grant date, death or disability of the employee.
The fair market value of restricted awards, both time vesting and those subject to specific performance criteria, are expensed over the period of vesting. Restricted stock units, which vest based solely upon passage of time generally vest over a period of four years. The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the closing market price of the Company's shares on the grant date. Performance share units, which are restricted share awards that vest dependent upon attainment of various levels of performance that equal or exceed targeted levels generally vest in their entirety three years from the grant date. The fair value of performance share units is determined based on the Monte Carlo valuation model. The compensation expense recognized for all restricted share awards is net of estimated forfeitures.
Recipients of restricted stock units have no voting rights and receive dividend equivalent units ("DEUs"). Recipients of performance share units have no voting rights and may receive DEUs depending on the terms of the grant.

The total fair value of performance share units vested during 2013, 2012 and 2011 was nil, $25 million and nil. As of August 2, 2012, all performance share units were converted to restricted stock units; the outstanding shares at that time have been moved to the restricted stock units reporting table.
As of September 27, 2013, there was $15 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to all unvested performance share awards. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 fiscal years.
Deferred Stock Units —Deferred Stock Units ("DSUs") are notional units that are tied to the value of Tyco common shares with distribution deferred until termination of employment or service to the Company. Distribution, when made, will be in the form of actual shares on a one-for-one basis. Similar to restricted stock units that vest over time, the fair value of DSUs is determined based on the closing market price of the Company's shares on the grant date and is amortized to expense over the vesting period. Recipients of DSUs do not have the right to vote and do not receive cash dividends. However, they have the right to receive dividend equivalent units. Conditions of vesting are determined at the time of grant. Under the 2004 Plan, grants made to executives generally vested in equal annual installments over three years while DSUs granted to the Board of Directors were immediately vested. The Company had 1.1 million DSUs outstanding as of September 28, 2012, all of which are fully vested and 1.0 million of which were delivered six months following September 28, 2012.
There were no DSU awards granted during 2013, 2012 and 2011; however, participants continue to earn DEUs on their existing awards. The total fair value of DSUs including DEUs vested during 2013, 2012 and 2011 was nil , $1 million and $1 million , respectively.

21. Tyco International Finance S.A.
TIFSA, a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company, has public debt securities outstanding which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Tyco. See Note 10. The following tables present condensed consolidating financial information for Tyco, TIFSA and all other subsidiaries. Condensed financial information for Tyco and TIFSA on a stand-alone basis is presented using the equity method of accounting for subsidiaries.
During fiscal 2013, the Company transferred certain investments in subsidiaries from Tyco to TIFSA. There was no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows as the transactions were entirely among wholly-owned subsidiaries of Tyco. The transactions, which increased TIFSA’s investment in subsidiaries, were among entities under common control and their effects have been reflected as of the beginning of the earliest period presented, which resulted in a net increase to TIFSA’s investment in subsidiaries of $3,063 million as of September 28, 2012.
As a result of the 2012 Separation, the Company undertook certain steps during fiscal 2012 to restructure the ownership of subsidiaries within Tyco. Specifically, the Company completed the transfer of certain investments from TIFSA to Tyco. Since the transactions were entirely among wholly-owned subsidiaries of Tyco, there was no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The transactions did, however, result in a decrease to TIFSA's investment in subsidiaries. Since these transactions were among entities under common control, their effects have been reflected as of the beginning of the earliest period presented, which resulted in a net decrease to TIFSA's investment in subsidiaries of $117 million as of September 30, 2011.

By not declining the Award, you hereby acknowledge that the Company or Subsidiary or employing company shall require you to pay the Company or Subsidiary or employing company the amount of any federal, state, local, foreign or other tax or other amount required by any governmental authority to be withheld and paid over by the Company or Subsidiary or employing company to such authority for your account, and you agree, as a condition of the grant of the Award and delivery of any Shares, to satisfy such obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may in its discretion establish procedures to permit you to satisfy such obligation in whole or in part, and any local, state, federal, foreign or other income tax obligations relating to the Award, by electing (the “election”) to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock from the Shares to which you otherwise become entitled. The number of Shares to be withheld shall have a Fair Market Value as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld, taking into account any exchange rate issues, is determined as nearly equal as possible to (but not exceeding) the amount of such obligations being satisfied. Each election must be made in writing in accordance with election procedures established by the Committee
By not declining the Award, you acknowledge that the Company has made no warranties or representations to you with respect to the tax consequences (including but not limited to income tax consequences) with respect to the Award contemplated by these Terms and Conditions, and you are in no manner relying on the Company or its representatives for an assessment of such tax consequences. You hereby acknowledge that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the grant or vesting or exercise of the Award and/or the acquisition or disposition of the Shares subject to the Award and you have been advised that you should consult with your own attorney, accountant and/or tax advisor regarding the decision to enter into this Award and these Terms and Conditions and the consequences thereof.

For this purpose, “family member” means your spouse, children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents, siblings, nieces, nephews and grandnieces and grandnephews, including adopted, in-laws and step family members. Any Stock Option transferred pursuant to this provision will continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to the Stock Option immediately prior to transfer. The Stock Option may be exercised by the transferee only to the same extent that you could have exercised the Stock Option had no transfer occurred.

(a)      If your Termination of Employment is for Cause, including without limitation a termination as a result of your violation of the Company’s Code of Ethical Conduct, any outstanding vested or unvested Stock Options shall be immediately rescinded and you will forfeit any rights you have with respect to those Stock Options. Furthermore, by not declining this Award you agree and promise immediately to deliver to the Company Shares (or, in the discretion of the Committee, cash) equal in value to the amount of any profit you realized upon an exercise of the Stock Option during the period beginning six months prior to your Termination of Employment for Cause and ending on the six-month anniversary




of your Termination of Employment for Cause, including, without limitation, a termination for Cause resulting from your violation of the Company’s Code of Ethical Conduct.

Any such determinations and adjustments made by the Committee will be binding on all persons.
15.      Restrictions on Exercise. Exercise of the Stock Option is subject to the conditions that, to the extent required at the time of exercise, (a) the Shares covered by the Stock Option will be duly listed, upon official notice of issuance, on the NYSE, and (b) a Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the Shares will be effective or an exemption from registration will apply.

You also acknowledge that the Company will have the right to recover, or receive reimbursement for, any compensation or profit realized on the exercise of the Stock Option or by the disposition of Shares received upon exercise of the Stock Option to the extent that the Company has a right of recovery or reimbursement under applicable securities laws or under its pay recoupment policy.
17.      Plan Terms Govern. The exercise of the Stock Option, the disposition of any Shares received upon exercise of the Stock Option, and the treatment of any gain on the disposition of these Shares are subject to the terms of the Plan and any rules that the Committee may prescribe.

The Company will hold the Performance Share Units in a bookkeeping account on your behalf until they become payable or are forfeited or cancelled.
2.      Payment Amount. Each Performance Share Unit represents the right to receive upon vesting, one (1) Share of Common Stock (as may be adjusted in accordance with Section 5(b)).
3.      Form of Payment. Your vested Performance Share Unit Award, determined in accordance with Section 5, will be redeemed solely for Shares, subject to Sections 13 and 14.
4. Dividends. For each Performance Share Unit that is outstanding, you will be credited with a Dividend Equivalent Unit (“DEU”) for any cash dividends distributed by the Company on Company Common Stock. DEUs will be calculated at the same dividend rate paid to other holders of Common Stock. DEUs will vest in accordance with the vesting schedule applicable to the underlying Performance Share Units, shall be subject to adjustment based on the same performance measures applicable to the underlying Performance Share Units, and shall be payable at the same time that the underlying Performance Share Units are payable.
5.      (a) Vesting . Except as otherwise set forth herein, and subject to Section 5(b), your Performance Share Unit Award will fully vest at the end of the Vesting Period, as described in Appendix A. Any payment shall be made as soon as practicable following the end of the Vesting Period.
(b) Award Adjustment. The target number of Performance Share Units specified in your Grant Letter shall be adjusted at the end of the Performance Cycle based on the level of attainment of the performance measures and satisfaction of the other terms and conditions described in Appendix A. Such adjustment shall range from 0% to 200% of the target Award set forth in your Grant Letter. The determination of the attainment of the performance measures and satisfaction of any other applicable terms and conditions will be made in the sole discretion of the Committee as set forth below.
6.      Retirement, Termination of Employment, Disability or Death. Subject to Section 5(b), Performance Share Units will vest, in the case of Termination of Employment, Retirement, Disability, or death, as set forth below:





Event

If your Termination of Employment is due to your Retirement twelve or more months after the Grant Date, you will earn a pro rata portion of your Award, if any Award is payable with respect to the Performance Cycle as determined in accordance with Section 5(b) above, based on the number of full months you have completed during the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the last day of the Vesting Period.

If prior to the Change in Control, you had satisfied the Retirement provisions of Section 6 and terminated your employment because of your Retirement, or previously terminated employment as a result of death or Disability as described in Section 6, your Award (as determined under




Section 6) shall be paid, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, at the higher of the target performance and the level of actual performance as of the date of the Change in Control and shall be payable to you as soon as practicable following the Change in Control and no adjustment shall be made under Section 5(b).
8.      Termination of Employment as a Result of Divestiture or Outsourcing . Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in Sections 6 or 7, if your involuntary Termination of Employment other than for Cause is as a result of a Disposition of Assets, Disposition of a Subsidiary or Outsourcing Agreement (each as defined below), you will earn a pro rata portion of your Award based on the number of full months you have completed during the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the last day of the Vesting Period.

9.      Termination of Employment with Severance Benefits. If (i) your Termination of Employment occurs twelve months or later after the Grant Date, (ii) is for a reason other than individual performance, and (iii) you are eligible to receive severance benefits under a severance plan maintained by the Company or a Subsidiary or an employment agreement, your Award will immediately be forfeited and your rights with respect to these Performance Share Units will end, unless the severance plan or agreement expressly provides that you may earn a pro rata portion of your Award. In such a case, you will earn a pro rata portion of your Award based on the number of full months you have completed during the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the last day of the Vesting Period, with an offset for any Performance Share Units earned under Section 9(a) above, as the provisions of Sections 9(a) and 9(b) shall in no event provide for duplicative payments. Any payment shall be made as soon as practicable following the later of your Termination of Employment and the determination of any adjustment described in Section 5(b).




10.      Withholdings. The Company will have the right, prior to any issuance or delivery of Shares based on your Performance Share Units, to withhold or demand from you payment of the amount necessary to satisfy applicable tax requirements, as determined by the Company. If you have not satisfied your tax withholding requirements in a timely manner, the Company will have the right to sell the number of Shares from your Award necessary to generate proceeds sufficient to satisfy such requirements.

By not declining the Award, you hereby acknowledge that the Company or Subsidiary or employing company shall require you to pay the Company or Subsidiary or employing company the amount of any federal, state, local, foreign or other tax or other amount required by any governmental authority to be withheld and paid over by the Company or Subsidiary or employing company to such authority for your account, and you agree, as a condition of the grant of the Award and delivery of any Shares, to satisfy such obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may in its discretion establish procedures to permit you to satisfy such obligation in whole or in part, and any local, state, federal, foreign or other income tax obligations relating to the Award, by electing (the “election”) to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock from the Shares to which you otherwise become entitled. The number of Shares to be withheld shall have a Fair Market Value as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld, taking into account any exchange rate issues, is determined as nearly equal as possible to (but not exceeding) the amount of such obligations being satisfied. Each election must be made in writing in accordance with election procedures established by the Committee
By not declining the Award, you acknowledge that the Company has made no warranties or representations to you with respect to the tax consequences (including but not limited to income tax consequences) with respect to the Award contemplated by these Terms and Conditions, and you are in no manner relying on the Company or its representatives for an assessment of such tax consequences. You hereby acknowledge that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the grant or vesting of the Award and/or the acquisition or disposition of the Shares subject to the Award and you have been advised that you should consult with your own attorney, accountant and/or tax advisor regarding the decision to enter into this Award and these Terms and Conditions and the consequences thereof.

Your Award shall continue to be credited with Dividend Equivalent Units during any such six-month delay period.
23.      Section 409A . Payments under the Plan may be subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The Committee may make such modifications to these Terms and Conditions as it deems necessary or appropriate to comply with Section 409A.

(ii)      you understand and agree that these Terms and Conditions and the Plan constitute a binding agreement between you and the Company and represent the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding the Award, and that any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the Performance Share Units are replaced and superseded; and
(iii)      you acknowledge the authority of the Committee to administer and interpret these Terms and Conditions and the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan.
