FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


                   GEORGE W. BUCKLEY BECOMES DIRECTOR OF TYCO


PEMBROKE, Bermuda - December 5, 2002 - Tyco International Ltd. (NYSE:TYC, BSX:
TYC, LSE: TYI) announced today that George W. Buckley, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC), the world's largest
manufacturer of recreational boats and marine engines, has been appointed to the
Company's Board of Directors.  Mr. Buckley will fill the seat vacated by Joshua
Berman, who has resigned.



Mr. Berman, who joined the Tyco Board in 1967, is the third Tyco director to
resign following the Board's decision on September 12, 2002 that, following the
appointment of Ed Breen as the new Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the
Board should consist of all new directors.



Tyco Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ed Breen said:   "I would like to
thank Josh Berman for his many years of service to Tyco.  His wise counsel has
been invaluable to Tyco over the years as the Company has grown from a small
manufacturing business to one of the world's great diversified corporations.
All of us at Tyco wish him well."



Mr. Breen continued: "I believe that George Buckley will make many significant
contributions to the future development of Tyco.  He is a distinguished business
leader with broad understanding of the challenges facing a global company, and
he will bring a valuable perspective to the Board."



Mr. Berman said:  "I believe it is time to participate in the transition to new
leadership on the Board.  Having served thirty-five years as a director, I have
witnessed the efforts of hundreds of thousands of dedicated employees in
building businesses with worldwide leadership positions.  As great as these
achievements have been, I am confident that, with the foundation that has been
laid and the new executive management team that has come on board, Tyco's best
days have yet to come."



Mr. Buckley said: "Tyco is a Company with solid businesses and a first-rate
management team.  Ed Breen is assembling an outstanding Board, and I look
forward to serving with him and the other Directors as we help the Company
fulfill its great potential."



The nomination of Mr. Buckley to the Tyco Board was previously announced on
September 12, 2002.  Mr. Buckley is the Chairman and CEO of Brunswick
Corporation, the world's largest manufacturer of recreational boats and marine
engines.  It is also a major manufacturer of fitness, bowling and billiards
equipment.  Formerly serving as the Chief Technology Officer and President of
two divisions throughout his career at Emerson Electric Company from 1993 to
1997, Mr. Buckley joined Brunswick in 1997 as President-Mercury Marine Group and
has held the role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for over two years.
