EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 5 to the Tyco Flow Control International Ltd. Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-181253) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 8, 2012, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed June 19, 2012, Amendment No. 2 filed July 18, 2012, Amendment No. 3 filed July 26, 2012 and Amendment No. 4 filed July 30, 2012, is being filed for the purpose of filing a revised Exhibit 5.1 (and the related consent included therein as Exhibit 23.3), updating the Exhibit Index accordingly and updating Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution. This Amendment No. 5 does not relate to the contents of the prospectus that forms a part of the Registration Statement and, accordingly, the prospectus has not been included herein.

Indemnification of directors and officers

Tyco Flow Control’s articles of association will provide that it will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by Swiss law, the existing and former members of the board of directors and officers from and against all costs, charges, losses, damages and expenses actually incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings—whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative—by reason of the fact that such individual was a director or officer; provided, however, that this indemnity shall not extend to any matter in which any of said persons is found, in a final judgment or decree of a court or governmental or administrative authority of competent jurisdiction not subject to appeal, to have committed an intentional or grossly negligent breach of his statutory duties as a member of the board of directors or officer.

Tyco Flow Control will maintain insurance to reimburse Tyco Flow Control’s directors and officers and those of Tyco Flow Control’s subsidiaries for charges and expenses incurred by them for wrongful acts claimed against them by reason of their being or having been directors or officers of Tyco Flow Control or any of Tyco Flow Control’s subsidiaries.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 17. Undertakings

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
