Dear Fellow Stockholder:

We have previously sent to you proxy materials for the Special Meeting of Stockholders of Scott Technologies, Inc. to be held on May 3, 2001. Your Board of Directors has unanimously recommended that shareholders vote FOR the proposed merger with Tyco International Ltd.

Since adoption of the merger requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the outstanding shares, your vote is important, no matter how many shares you may own. A failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote against the merger. Whether or not you have already done so, please sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card today in the envelope provided.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Mark A. Kirk

Mark A. Kirk
President and Chief Executive Officer

 

 

If you have any questions, or need assistance in voting
your shares, please call our proxy solicitor,

IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you hold your shares through a bank or broker,
you can vote by telephone, or via the Internet.
Please call Innisfree at 888-750-5834 for assistance.
