This presentation may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
concerning Eaton, Eaton Global Plc, the acquisition and other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, our acquisition
financing, our long-term credit rating and our revenues and operating earnings. These statements or disclosures may discuss goals,
intentions and expectations as to future trends, plans, events, results of operations or financial condition, or state other information relating

expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control.
Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on such statements.  Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
in the forward-looking statements include adverse regulatory decisions; failure to satisfy other closing conditions with respect to the
Acquisition; the risks that the new businesses will not be integrated successfully or that we will not realize estimated cost savings and
synergies; our ability to refinance the bridge loan on favorable terms and maintain our current long-term credit rating; unanticipated
changes in the markets for our business segments; unanticipated downturns in business relationships with customers or their purchases
from Eaton; competitive pressures on our sales and pricing; increases in the cost of material, energy and other production costs, or
unexpected costs that cannot be recouped in product pricing; the introduction of competing technologies; unexpected technical or
marketing difficulties; unexpected claims, charges, litigation or dispute resolutions; new laws and governmental regulations. The foregoing
list of factors is not exhaustive.  You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that affect our
business described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other
documents filed from time to time with the SEC.  We do not assume any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
