SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

To Be Held on March 10, 2010

This proxy statement supplement, dated March 8, 2010, supplements the proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 15, 2010 relating to the annual general meeting of stockholders of Tyco International Ltd. (the “Company”) to be held on Wednesday, March 10, 2010 at 3:00 p.m., Central European Time, at the Park Hyatt Zurich, Beethoven-Strasse 21, 8002 Zurich, Switzerland.  The purpose of this supplement is to provide additional information with respect to Proposal 5.b — Approval of Dividend in the Form of a Capital Reduction.  As stated in the Proxy Statement, Tyco’s Board of Directors has recommended that shareholders approve an annual dividend in the form of a capital reduction in an amount equal to CHF 0.85 per share, which, as of January 11, 2009, was the Swiss franc equivalent of $0.84 per share.  The Proxy Statement further stated that this amount may be adjusted based on the CHF/USD exchange rate in effect on March 8, 2010 so that the amount of the capital reduction is at least the Swiss franc equivalent of $0.84 on such date.  Based on the CHF/USD exchange rate in effect on March 8, 2010, the proposed amount of the capital reduction has been adjusted to CHF 0.90 per share, which is the Swiss franc equivalent of $0.84 per share on March 8, 2010.  As a result, the resolutions to be voted on at the Annual General Meeting with respect to Proposal 5.b are as follows:

1.The share capital of the Company in the aggregate amount of CHF 3,642,642,767.60 shall be reduced by the amount of CHF 431,365,590.90 to CHF 3,211,277,176.70.

2.The capital reduction shall be accomplished as follows:

a.by reducing the par value per share from CHF 7.60 to CHF 6.70 in four steps, i.e. by CHF 0.22 to CHF 7.38 in the third fiscal quarter 2010, from CHF 7.38 by CHF 0.22 to CHF 7.16 in the fourth fiscal quarter 2010, from CHF 7.16 by CHF 0.23 to CHF 6.93 in the first fiscal quarter 2011 and from CHF 6.93 by CHF 0.23 to CHF 6.70 in the second fiscal quarter of 2011;

b.by repayment of the respective partial reduction amounts of CHF 0.22 in May 2010, CHF 0.22 in August 2010, CHF 0.23 in November 2010 and CHF 0.23 in February 2011 per share to the shareholders; and

c.before the second, third and fourth partial reduction a call to creditors in accordance with Article 733 of the Swiss Code of Obligations shall be made and an updated report in accordance with Article 732 paragraph 2 by the state supervised auditing enterprise shall be prepared.

3.The aggregate reduction amount pursuant to Section 1 shall be increased by corresponding par value reductions on shares issued from authorized share capital or conditional share capital after the general meeting until registration of the last partial reduction in the Commercial Register.

4.The board of directors is authorized to determine the application dates (e.g., the record and payment dates) of the partial reductions in the commercial register and the repayment procedure for the partial reduction amounts.

5.Effective with the registrations of the respective quarterly capital reductions in the Commercial Register, the following amendments are resolved to the Articles of Association:
