The Companys management believes that presenting the above non-GAAP financial measures provides meaningful information to investors in understanding operating results and may enhance investors ability to analyze financial and business trends. As calculated, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. In addition, the Companys management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures allow investors to compare period to period more easily by excluding items that could have a disproportionately negative or positive impact on results in any particular period.
The Company expects to realize more than $150 million in annual synergies beginning in the third year following closing, with more than $50 million in the first full year. These synergies are expected to come from all areas of the company, including sales, marketing, general and administrative, operations and research and development. The Company expects to incur integration and restructuring costs of $125 million to $175 million to achieve these synergies.

Forward-Looking Statements
This communication contains forward-looking statements (including within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) concerning the Company, the Acquisition and other matters. These statements may discuss goals, intentions and expectations as to future plans, trends, events, results of operations or financial condition, or otherwise, based on current beliefs of the management of the Company and TE Connectivity as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, such management.
