general meeting of shareholders (AGM) will be held March 10 at 2 p.m. CET (8 a.m. EST) at

registered with voting rights in TE's share register on their
behalf as of the same time and date will be entitled to instruct

Full details about voting are provided in TE's preliminary proxy

Securities and Exchange Commission. A Notice of Internet
Availability of Proxy Materials (Notice) relating to the AGM will

6. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over
the internet or request a printed set of proxy materials will be
provided in the Notice. The Notice also will provide instructions
on how to submit a proxy over the internet or via mail.
A copy of the proxy materials, including a proxy card, also will
be sent to any additional shareholders who are registered in our
share register as shareholders with voting rights, or who become
beneficial owners through a nominee registered in our share
register as a shareholder with voting rights, as of the close of
business (EST) on Feb. 18.
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. 18. 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. 18.
Due to restrictions in Switzerland from the COVID-19 pandemic, the
2021 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 Ordinance on
Measures to Combat the Coronavirus (COVID-19) in International
Passenger Transport places restrictions on entry and international
travel, including quarantine requirements. In accordance with 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.
