Item 8.01 Other Events.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, Tyco International Ltd. (the “Company”) realigned certain business operations. The manufacturing operations which support the ADT retail business, historically included in the Safety Products segment, were transferred to the ADT Worldwide segment. In addition, certain smaller businesses were transferred between segments; from the Company’s Safety Products segment to the Company’s Fire Protection Services segment in Asia Pacific; from the Company’s Fire Protection Services segment to the Company’s ADT Worldwide segment in EMEA and Latin America. Further, certain overhead costs were transferred from Corporate and Other to the Company’s ADT Worldwide segment. As a result of the realignment of these business activities, the following tables for the fiscal years ended 2009, 2008 and 2007 have been recast to reflect the realignments discussed above. The realignment did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, earnings per share or cash flows for the periods presented.
