This conversion rate is subject to adjustment, however, as described under "Description of the Debentures--Conversion Rights-- Conversion Rate and Delivery of Tyco Common Shares." As a result, the number of Tyco common shares issuable upon conversion of the debentures may increase or decrease in the future.

(2) Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(i) of the Exchange Act, using 1,753,548,058 Tyco common shares outstanding as of March 2, 2001. In calculating this amount for each holder, we treated as outstanding the number of Tyco common shares issuable upon conversion of all of that holder's debentures, but we did not assume conversion of any other holder's debentures. Does not include Tyco common shares that may be issued by us upon purchase of debentures by us at the option of the holder.
