"Siemens Electromechanical Components business is an excellent fit with Tyco

said L Dennis Kozlowski, Tyco's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  "From a
product standpoint, Siemens EC's relays are highly complementary with Tyco
Electronics' connectors and interconnect products and allow us to leverage our
customer relationships.  From a market standpoint, the combination of Siemens
EC's strengths in the telecommunication industry and Tyco Electronics' in the
automotive industry provides powerful opportunities to enhance our combined
market position," he added.
