Exhibit 99.8
Tyco Separation Announcement
September 19, 2011
Vendor/Supplier Letter Template
Dear Supplier,
You may have heard the news that Tyco announced regarding the planned separation of Tyco’s businesses into three separate, publicly traded operating companies. The planned companies are:
ADT North America residential security, the leading provider of security and fire alarm systems serving more than 6 million homes and small businesses in the US and Canada.
Flow control, a global supplier of flow management, water and environmental systems and thermal control solutions.
Commercial fire and security, the largest global provider of fire and security products and services for commercial, industrial, governmental and retail customers worldwide.
I have attached a copy of the press release we issued on Monday, September 19, 2011 announcing this decision for your reference.
We’re excited about the potential benefits of this separation. As independent, publicly traded operating companies, ADT North America residential security, flow control, and commercial fire and security will be better positioned than ever to serve customers. These businesses provide a unique set of products and services tailored to the needs of specific customers, with little overlap, and we believe they can best achieve their full potential as standalone, independent companies rather than under the current Tyco structure.
Upon separation, each company will have its own operating management teams and boards of directors, focused on setting their own strategies for acquisitions, alliances, and resource allocations. Each business will also be able to sharpen its focus on serving its own distinct customer base.
We expect the planned separation will take 12 months to complete, and in the meantime we anticipate no significant impact on the operations of the business units, the products and services they offer or their interactions with you. The vast majority of employees will not see significant changes to their day-to-day responsibilities.
As we work through the details in the coming months, you may want to consider how the separation could present new opportunities for you as a supplier to support these three companies. We have always viewed our relationship with our suppliers as a partnership built on trust and open communication, and we fully expect that philosophy to continue after the planned separation. We greatly value our relationship with you, and remain committed to excellence in all areas of our operations.
I’m pleased to be able to share this news today, and will keep you updated on our progress moving forward. Please feel free to reach out to me or your contact within Tyco if you have any questions.
Regards,
