PEMBROKE, Bermuda - January 30, 2003 - Tyco International Ltd. (NYSE:TYC, BSX:
TYC, LSE: TYI) announced today that H. Carl McCall, former Comptroller of the

In addition to Mr. McCall, three other nominees, Sandra Wijnberg, Dennis Blair

Mr. Breen said:  "I am pleased to welcome Carl McCall as a nominee to the Tyco
Board.  He brings a wide range of knowledge to Tyco from his long and
distinguished career in public service and the financial world. Carl is an
experienced leader who has thought deeply about issues facing public companies
and I know he will offer a unique and valuable perspective to the Tyco Board."

Mr. McCall said:  "With its strong operating businesses, outstanding management
and commitment to the highest standards of corporate governance, Tyco has the
capacity to become one of the great industrial companies in this country.  I am
enthusiastic about the opportunity to work with Ed Breen in helping the company
fulfill its potential and deliver real value to shareholders, employees and the
communities in which it operates."

H. Carl McCall began his term as New York State Comptroller in May 1993, was
