Shareholders are urged to read the definitive proxy statement which contains important information. The company has requested that banks, brokerage firms and other nominees who hold TE shares on behalf of beneficial owners as of the close of business (EST) on Jan. 6 forward the Notice to those beneficial shareholders and forward the proxy materials, together with a voting instruction card, to any additional beneficial owners who acquire their shares after the close of business (EST) on Jan. 6 and continue to hold them at the close of business (EST) on Feb. 17. In order to vote or give instructions to vote (as applicable), holders of record and beneficial owners who hold shares at the close of business (EST) on or after Jan. 6 must continue to hold those shares at the close of business (EST) on Feb. 17.
Due to restrictions in Switzerland from the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2022 AGM will not take place in its usual format and shareholders will not be able, or permitted, to attend the AGM in person. The Swiss Federal Council Ordinance on Measures during the Special Situation to Combat the COVID-19 Epidemic currently places limitations on public gatherings in Switzerland, and the Swiss Federal Council Ordinance on Measures to Combat the COVID-19 Epidemic in International Passenger Transport places restrictions on entry and international travel, including an obligation to fill in an entry form, present a negative test result and possibly comply with quarantine requirements. In accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on the Statutory Principles for Federal Council Ordinances on Combating the COVID-19 Epidemic and the Swiss Federal Council Ordinance 3 on Measures to Combat the Coronavirus, shareholders and beneficial owners of TE Connectivity shares must therefore exercise their voting rights by giving proxy related voting instructions to the independent proxy either electronically or by mail as described in the definitive proxy statement.
