The exchange offers and consent solicitations are being made pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Johnson Controls' preliminary prospectus, dated as of December 8, 2016 (the "prospectus"), which forms a part of the registration statement. The exchange offers and consent solicitations commenced on November 28, 2016 and will expire at 11:59 p.m. New York City time on December 23, 2016, unless extended (the "Expiration Date"). Tendered existing notes may be validly withdrawn at any time prior to the expiration of the exchange offers. The New Notes are expected to be issued promptly on or about the second business day following the Expiration Date (the "Settlement Date"). The consummation of the exchange offers is subject to, and conditional upon, the satisfaction or, where permitted, waiver of the conditions discussed in the prospectus, including, among other things, the registration statement having been declared effective by the SEC.

On December 9, 2016, (i) JCI Inc. and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee and (ii) TIFSA and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee, executed supplemental indentures (the "Supplemental Indentures") to the indentures governing each series of existing notes, incorporating the proposed amendments. The Supplemental Indentures became effective upon execution, and as a result, holders of existing notes will not be able to revoke properly delivered consents with respect to any series of existing notes. However, the proposed amendments will not become operative until the Settlement Date.

Following consummation of the exchange offers, Johnson Controls intends to deregister each series of existing notes with the SEC and each of JCI Inc. and TIFSA expects to cease reporting pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. In addition, TIFSA expects to delist the TIFSA Euro Notes from the New York Stock Exchange.
