Exhibit 10.1

October 12, 2015

Mr. Robert E. Olson
 


Dear Robert,
I am pleased to offer you a position as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Tyco International group (Tyco), with all of the duties, authorities and responsibilities commensurate with this role reporting directly to George Oliver, Chief Executive Officer. Your expected start date is October 12, 2015.

Your compensation and benefits are described below.

Base Salary

You will receive an annual base salary of $535,000. Your salary will be paid monthly, according to the normal and customary payroll process of the Company.

Annual Incentive Plan

You will be eligible to participate in Tyco’s annual incentive plan. Under the annual incentive plan, your initial target bonus will equal 80% of your base salary. Determination of actual award levels will be based on Tyco’s financial performance and your individual contribution. Annual incentive awards are prorated for the first year of employment. However, assuming you start on October 12, 2015, you will be eligible for the full year.

Long Term Incentive Program

You will be eligible to participate in Tyco’s annual long term incentive program. The recommended grant date fair value of your equity award under the program for fiscal 2016 is $1,300,000.

Equity - For fiscal 2016, your equity awards are expected to consist of stock options, restricted share units (RSUs), and performance share units (PSUs). Under the long term incentive program, options are normally granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price on the date of grant and a ten- year term of exercise. Stock options normally vest in four equal installments (25% per year) beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. RSUs normally have a grant price equal to the closing price on the date of grant. Restrictions on RSUs normally lapse in four equal installments (25% per year) beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. The number of shares ultimately delivered in respect of PSUs is normally determined at the end of three years, and can range from 0% to 200% of the target number of PSUs granted, based on the achievement of pre-established performance metrics. The frequency, timing, structure and the terms and conditions of annual equity award grants are subject to the terms and conditions of the Tyco International plc 2012 Stock and Incentive Plan, administered by the Compensation

Robert Olson
October 2015




and Human Resources Committee of Tyco’s Board of Directors, and are subject to change based on Tyco’s changing needs and objectives.


Approval of Equity Awards - Any equity-based awards you are offered in connection with your employment offer with the Company are subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of Tyco International plc (or a Committee thereof), which will review and approve your award or awards on the next grant date following or commensurate with your start date. The closing price of Tyco’s ordinary shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant will determine key terms of your equity awards, such as the strike price for stock options and the target number of RSUs and PSUs granted to you. You will receive more information about your awards, including detailed terms and conditions, after they have been granted and approved by the required approval authority.

Benefits

You will be entitled to all employee benefits that the Company customarily makes available to employees in positions comparable to yours. Specifically, you will be eligible to participate in the following:
Tyco Retirement Savings and Investment Plan (RSIP) - the Company’s 401(k) plan provides for tax-deferred retirement savings through employee contributions and a company match. To help you get started, you will be automatically enrolled in the RSIP at a pretax contribution rate of 2% within approximately 30 days after your hire date. Catch-up contributions are also allowed for participants who qualify, but are not matched by the Company. You will receive full plan details in the mail shortly after your hire date.

Tyco Medical and/or Dental Plans - You will be eligible to participate on a contributory basis, 31 (thirty-one) days after your employment start date. Benefit enrollment is completed through an on-line process and will be reviewed during your New Hire Orientation. Benefit programs are reviewed annually and changes in plan design and/or employee contributions are the norm and communicated in advance of any changes.

Executive Physical Program
You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s Executive Physical Program.

Vacation - You will be eligible for four weeks of vacation per year beginning with your start date.

Additionally, you will be eligible for the following benefit:
Tyco Supplemental Savings and Retirement Plan (SSRP) - In addition to the 401 (k) plan, the Company also offers you another opportunity to save money on a tax-deferred basis. Under this non-qualified program, you can defer up to 50% of your base salary. To be eligible for this plan, you must enroll within 30 days of your new position effective date. If you participate in this plan, you will receive company contributions equal to the matching percentage rate you would be eligible to receive under the 401 (k). If you choose not to participate, you will still receive Company contributions to this plan on any compensation during the year that exceeds the IRS compensation limit. In subsequent plan years, during annual enrollment, this plan also will allow you to defer all or a portion of your performance based bonus. You will receive your SSRP enrollment materials soon after returning your signed accepted offer letter.

Tyco International Severance Plan for U.S. Officers and Executives (“Severance Plan”) - In the event of a qualifying termination of your employment under the Severance Plan, you will be eligible for such benefits as may be provided under the terms of the Severance Plan, including a 24-month Severance Benefit, as defined in the Severance Plan.


Robert Olson
October 2015




In the event of a Change in Control and a qualifying termination of employment in connection with the Change in Control, you will be eligible for the benefits defined in the Tyco International Change in Control Severance Plan for Certain U.S. Officers and Executives (“CIC Severance Plan”), including payment of salary replacement benefits and bonus for a period of 24 months.

Upon the completion of your first day of active service to the Company, you will be eligible to participate in the Severance Plan, the CIC Severance Plan, and the Company’s equity plan, benefit plans, bonus plans and other applicable programs and policies described in this letter according to the terms of those plans, programs and policies and provided that you meet the eligibility requirements for them.

Relocation

This position will require that you relocate to Princeton, NJ. To assist you with your move, the Company’s relocation services provider will help you through this process. A counselor will reach out to you after receiving the Relocation Authorization form from the Company, to review the program details.

Further, in accepting this employment offer, and in consideration of this employment offer, except as prohibited by law, you further agree that during your employment with the Company and for the two (2) year period thereafter, you will not, directly or indirectly, on your own behalf or on behalf of another (i) solicit, recruit, aid or induce any employee of the Tyco group to leave their employment with the Tyco group in order to accept employment with or render services to another person or entity unaffiliated with the Tyco group, or hire or knowingly take any action to assist or aid any other person or entity in identifying or hiring any such employee, or (ii) solicit, aid, or induce any customer of the Tyco group to purchase goods or services then sold by the Tyco group from another person or entity, or assist or aid any other persons or entity in identifying or soliciting any such customer, or (iii) otherwise interfere with the relationship of the Tyco group with any of its employees, customers, vendors, agents, or representatives.
Irreparable injury will result to the Tyco group and its business in the event of a breach by you of any of your covenants and commitments you have accepted as a condition of this employment offer, including the covenants of non-competition and non-solicitation. Therefore, in the event of a breach of such covenants and commitments, the Company reserves all rights to seek any and all remedies and damages permitted under law, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief, equitable relief and compensatory damages.
The non-competition and non-solicitation provisions are expressly intended to benefit the Company and each member of the Tyco group as third party beneficiaries, and their successors and assigns; and the parties expressly authorize the Company (including all third party beneficiaries) and its successors and assigns to enforce these provisions.

Tyco International public limited company (the “Company” or “Tyco International plc”) has granted you an option to purchase ordinary Shares of the Company, as described in the grant notification letter issued to you, subject to the provisions of these Terms and Conditions. This Share Option is a Non-Qualified Share Option. The number of Shares covered by the Share Option is set forth on the website of the Company’s share plan administrator (available at www.ubs.com/onesource/tyc) (“OneSource”).
2.    Exercise Price. The purchase price of the Shares covered by the Share Option is described on the grant notification letter issued to you and set forth on the OneSource website.
3.    Vesting. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Share Option will become exercisable in installments of one fourth (1/4) of the Shares specified in your grant notification letter per year over four years. Your vested right will be calculated on the anniversary of the Grant Date. No credit will be given for periods following Termination of Employment, except as set forth herein.
4.    Term of Share Option. Unless the Share Option has been terminated or cancelled on an earlier date, the Share Option must be exercised prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the day prior to the 10th anniversary of the Grant Date.

Alternatively, payment may be made by one or more of the following methods: (i) delivering to UBS Financial Services, or such other share option administrator as selected by the Company, a properly executed exercise notice, together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly (within the typical settlement cycle for the sale of equity securities on the relevant trading market, or otherwise in accordance with Regulation T issued by the Federal Reserve Board) to the Company or its agents the amount of the sale proceeds adequate to satisfy the portion of the Exercise Price being so paid; (ii) tendering to the Company (by physical delivery or attestation) certificates of Tyco International plc ordinary shares that you have held for six months or longer (unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, waives this 6-month period) that have an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the day prior to the date of exercise equal to the portion of the Exercise Price being

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may not tender any form of payment that the Company determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, could violate any law or regulation. You are not required to purchase all Shares subject to the Share Option at one time, but you must pay the full Exercise Price for all Shares that you elect to purchase before they will be delivered.
6.    Exercise of Share Option.

Your Share Option will expire on the earlier of (i) the original expiration date or (ii) three years from the effective date of your Change in Control Termination or your Termination of Employment by reason of a Good Reason Resignation, as described in the preceding sentence.
9.    Termination of Employment as a Result of Divestiture or Outsourcing. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in Sections 7 or 8, if your involuntary Termination of Employment other than for Cause is as a result of a Disposition of Assets, Disposition of a Subsidiary or Outsourcing Agreement (each as defined below), your Share Option will vest on a pro-rata basis based on the number of full months of service completed commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the date of your Termination of Employment divided by the number of full months required to achieve complete vesting (with an offset for Share Options previously vested). The vested portion of your Share Option will expire on the earlier of (i) the original expiration date and (ii) three years after the date of your Termination of Employment.

5    



and an unrelated third party (“Outsourcing Agent”) pursuant to which (i) the Company transfers the performance of services previously performed by employees of the Company or Subsidiary to the Outsourcing Agent, and (ii) the Outsourcing Agent is obligated to offer employment to any employee whose employment is being terminated as a result of or in connection with said Outsourcing Agreement.

The vested portion of your Award will expire on the earlier of (i) the original expiration date of the Award, (ii) one year after the date of your Termination of Employment and (iii) such later date as may be applicable under Section 7.
11.    Withholdings; Tax Recovery. The Company will have the right, prior to the issuance or delivery of any Shares in connection with the exercise of the Share Option, to withhold or demand from you payment of the amount necessary to satisfy applicable tax requirements, as determined by the Company. The methods described in Section 5 may also be used to pay your withholding tax obligation.
By not declining the Award, you hereby acknowledge that the Company or Subsidiary or employing company shall require you to pay the Company or Subsidiary or employing company the amount of any federal, state, local, foreign or other tax or other amount required by any governmental authority to be withheld and paid over by the Company or Subsidiary or employing company to such authority for your account, and you agree, as a condition of the grant of the Award and delivery of any Shares, to satisfy such obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may in its discretion establish procedures to permit you to satisfy such obligation in whole or in part, and any local, state, federal, foreign or other income tax obligations relating to the Award, by electing (the “election”) to have the Company withhold Shares from the Shares to which you otherwise become entitled. The number of Shares to be withheld shall have a Fair Market Value as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld, taking into account any exchange rate issues, is determined as nearly equal as possible to (but not exceeding) the amount of such obligations being satisfied. Each election must be made in writing in accordance with election procedures established by the Committee.
By not declining the Award, you acknowledge that the Company has made no warranties or representations to you with respect to the tax consequences (including but not limited to income tax consequences) with respect to the Award contemplated by these Terms and Conditions, and you are in no manner relying on the Company or its representatives for an assessment of such tax consequences. You hereby acknowledge that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the grant or vesting or exercise of the Award and/or the acquisition or disposition of the Shares subject to the Award and you have been advised that you should consult with your own attorney, accountant and/or tax advisor regarding the decision to enter into this

6    



Award and these Terms and Conditions and the consequences thereof. You also acknowledge that the Company has no responsibility to take or refrain from taking any actions in order to achieve a certain tax result for you.

12.    Transfer of Share Option. You may not transfer the Share Option or any interest therein except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

13.    Covenant; Forfeiture of Award; Agreement to Reimburse Company.
(a)    If your Termination of Employment is for Cause, including without limitation a termination as a result of your violation of the Company’s Code of Ethical Conduct, any outstanding vested or unvested Share Options shall be immediately rescinded and you will forfeit any rights you have with respect to those Share Options. Furthermore, by not declining this Award you agree and promise immediately to deliver to the Company Shares (or, in the discretion of the Committee, cash) equal in value to the amount of any profit you realized upon an exercise of the Share Option during the period beginning six months prior to your Termination of Employment for Cause and ending on the six-month anniversary of your Termination of Employment for Cause, including, without limitation, a termination for Cause resulting from your violation of the Company’s Code of Ethical Conduct.
(b)     If the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that at any time after the Grant Date and prior to the second anniversary of your Termination of Employment you (i) disclosed business confidential or proprietary information related to any business of the Company or Subsidiary or (ii) have entered into an employment or consultation arrangement (including any arrangement for employment or service as an agent, partner, shareholder, consultant, officer or director) with any entity or person engaged in a business, which arrangement would likely (in the sole judgment of the Committee) result in the disclosure of business confidential or proprietary information related to any business of the Company or a Subsidiary to a business that is competitive with any Company or Subsidiary business as to which you have had access to business strategic or confidential information, and the Committee has not approved the arrangement in writing, then any Share Option that you have not exercised (whether vested or unvested) will immediately be rescinded, and you will forfeit any rights you have with respect to these Share Options as of the date of the Committee’s determination.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in Sections 6 or 7, if your involuntary Termination of Employment other than for Cause is as a result of a Disposition of Assets, Disposition of a Subsidiary or Outsourcing Agreement (each as defined below), you will earn a pro rata portion of your Award based on the number of full months you have completed during the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the last day of the Vesting Period. Any payment shall be made as soon as practicable following the later of your Termination of Employment and the determination of any adjustment described in Section 5(b).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not earn any portion of your Award in accordance with the preceding paragraph if (i) your Termination of Employment occurs on or prior to the closing date of such Disposition of Assets or Disposition of a Subsidiary, as applicable, or on such later date as is specifically provided in the applicable transaction agreement, or on the effective date of such Outsourcing Agreement applicable to you (the “Applicable Employment Date”), and (ii) you are offered Comparable Employment (as defined below) with the buyer, successor company or outsourcing agent, as applicable, but do not commence such employment on the Applicable Employment Date.

9.    Withholdings. The Company will have the right, prior to any issuance or delivery of Shares based on your Performance Share Units, to withhold or demand from you payment of the amount necessary to satisfy applicable tax requirements, as determined by the Company. If you have not satisfied your tax withholding requirements in a timely manner, the Company will have the right to sell the number of Shares from your Award necessary to generate proceeds sufficient to satisfy such requirements. In addition, the Company shall have the right, if so provided under applicable law, to recover any taxes relating to this Award that the Company or any of its affiliates pays on your behalf.
By not declining the Award, you hereby acknowledge that the Company or Subsidiary or employing company shall require you to pay the Company or Subsidiary or employing company the amount of any federal, state, local, foreign or other tax or other amount required by any governmental authority to be withheld and paid over by the Company or Subsidiary or employing company to such authority for your account, and you agree, as a condition of the grant of the Award and delivery of any Shares, to satisfy such obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may in its discretion establish procedures to permit you to satisfy such obligation in whole or in part, and any local, state, federal, foreign or other income tax obligations relating to the Award, by electing (the “election”) to have the Company withhold Shares from the Shares to which you otherwise become entitled. The number of Shares to be withheld shall have a Fair Market Value as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld, taking into account any exchange rate issues, is determined as nearly equal as possible to (but not exceeding) the amount of such obligations being satisfied. Each election must be made in writing in accordance with election procedures established by the Committee.
By not declining the Award, you acknowledge that the Company has made no warranties or representations to you with respect to the tax consequences (including but not limited to income tax consequences) with respect to the Award contemplated by these Terms and Conditions, and you are in no manner relying on the Company or its representatives for an

5


        


assessment of such tax consequences. You hereby acknowledge that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the grant or vesting of the Award and/or the acquisition or disposition of the Shares subject to the Award and you have been advised that you should consult with your own attorney, accountant and/or tax advisor regarding the decision to enter into this Award and these Terms and Conditions and the consequences thereof. You also acknowledge that the Company has no responsibility to take or refrain from taking any actions in order to achieve a certain tax result for you.

10.    Transfer of Award. You may not transfer any interest in Performance Share Units except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any other attempt to dispose of your interest in Performance Share Units will be null and void.

11.    Covenant; Forfeiture of Award; Agreement to Reimburse Company.
(a)    If your Termination of Employment is for Cause, including without limitation a termination as a result of your violation of the Company’s Code of Ethical Conduct, any unearned Performance Share Units shall be immediately rescinded and you will forfeit any rights you have with respect thereto. Furthermore, by not declining this Performance Share Unit Award, you hereby agree and promise immediately to deliver to the Company the number of Shares (or, in the discretion of the Committee, the cash value of said shares) you received for Performance Share Units during the period beginning six months prior to your Termination of Employment for Cause and ending on the later of (i) the second anniversary of your Termination of Employment for Cause, including, without limitation, a termination for cause resulting from your violation of the Company’s Code of Ethical Conduct, or (ii) 60 days following the end of the Vesting Period.
(b)    If the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that at any time after the Grant Date and prior to the second anniversary of your Termination of Employment you (i) disclosed business confidential or proprietary information related to any business of the Company or Subsidiary or (ii) have entered into an employment or consultation arrangement (including any arrangement for employment or service as an agent, partner, shareholder, consultant, officer or director) with any entity or person engaged in a business, which arrangement would likely (in the sole judgment of the Committee) result in the disclosure of business confidential or proprietary information related to any business of the Company or a Subsidiary to a business that is competitive with any Company or Subsidiary business as to which you have had access to business strategic or confidential information, and the Committee has not approved the arrangement in writing, then any unearned Performance Share Units will immediately be rescinded, and you will forfeit any rights you have with respect to these Performance Share Units as of the date of the Committee’s determination.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


TYCO APPOINTS ROBERT E. OLSON EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT & CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
AS PART OF PLANNED TRANSITION; ARUN NAYAR TO RETIRE
CORK, Ireland, Oct. 13, 2015 /PR Newswire/ – Tyco International plc (NYSE: TYC) today announced the appointment of Robert E. Olson as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective following the filing of the company’s annual report on Form 10-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in November 2015. Mr. Olson, 56, has joined the company and will serve as Chief Financial Officer Designate until then.  He will succeed Arun Nayar, 65, who will step down from the CFO role at that time.  Mr. Nayar will retire from the company at the end of this calendar year and will serve in an advisory capacity for the next several months to ensure an orderly transition into the 2016 calendar year.
“We are pleased to welcome an accomplished financial executive such as Robert to our senior leadership team,” said George R. Oliver, Tyco’s Chief Executive Officer.  “Robert’s effective record in chief financial officer roles combined with his broad experience in service-oriented technology companies will be especially valuable as we grow our services and solutions businesses.”
“At the same time, I would like to thank Arun Nayar for his contributions to the separation and launch of the new Tyco. I have valued his leadership and guidance in positioning the company for success. His retirement will mark the culmination of a thoughtful succession process that both Arun and the Board have been involved in over the past year.”
Most recently, Mr. Olson served as the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of DISH Network Corporation, a provider of satellite video services and technology, for five years. Before that, Mr. Olson was the Chief Financial Officer of Trane Commercial Systems, the largest operating division of American Standard, from 2006 to 2008. Previously, he served as the Chief Financial Officer of AT&T’s Consumer Services division and later its Business Services division. He also held leadership roles in finance, marketing, operations and planning at American Airlines. Mr. Olson holds a Bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from the University of Alabama and a Master’s degree in business administration from The University of California at Los Angeles.
In connection with the announcement, the company reaffirmed its guidance of $0.60 to $0.62 of earnings per share from continuing operations before special items for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015.
