                              SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

   The following table provides the names of the selling shareholders and the
number of common shares beneficially owned by each selling shareholder as of
November 8, 2000. Information about beneficial ownership is based upon
information obtained from the selling shareholders. Information about shares
beneficially owned after the offering assumes the sale of all of the shares
offered and no other purchases or sales of common shares. We cannot determine
the exact number of shares that will be sold. Assuming all of the shares
offered by this prospectus are sold, no selling shareholder will own shares of
Tyco after this offering in excess of 1% of Tyco's outstanding common shares.

   The shares which may be resold under this prospectus by the selling
shareholders were issued by Tyco as the initial consideration and as partial
payment of the contingent consideration in connection with Tyco's acquisition
of CIGI Investment Group, Inc. At the time of the acquisition, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Tyco, CIGI Investment Group, Inc. and the selling shareholders
entered into a shareholders' agreement that provides the selling shareholders
with registration rights. A wholly owned subsidiary of Tyco agreed to cause
Tyco to file the registration statement covering the common shares received at
closing by each of the selling shareholders in the acquisition, and to keep the
registration statement effective until the earlier of one year following
October 26, 2000 or the date that all of the shares covered by the registration
statement have been sold by the selling shareholders.

(1) This amount does not include additional Tyco common shares that may be
    received as contingent consideration in the future in accordance with
    elections made by such shareholders at the time of the acquisition.
(2) These selling shareholders are employees of CoEv, Inc., an indirect
    subsidiary of Tyco as a result of the acquisition.
(3) The amount shown is the number of shares beneficially owned by William
    Watson, M.D. as of November 8, 2000, and includes 200 shares owned by him
    individually.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

   The common shares may be sold from time to time by the selling shareholders
or by pledgees or donees of the selling shareholders. Such sales may be made on
the New York Stock Exchange or other exchanges or in the over-the-counter
market, or otherwise, at prices and on terms then prevailing or at prices
related to the then current market price, or in negotiated transactions at
negotiated prices. The manner in which sales of common shares can be made
include:

  .  ordinary brokerage transactions;

  .  transactions in which a broker solicits purchasers;

  .  block trades;

  .  for settlement of short sales, or through long sales, options or
     transactions involving cross or block trades;

  .  purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker
     dealer for its account;

  .  put or call option transactions relating to the common shares;

  .  transactions directly between seller and purchaser without a broker-
     dealer;

  .  by pledge to secure debts and other obligations; or

  .  in any combination of any of the foregoing transactions or by any other
     legally available means.

Common shares that qualify for sale in accordance with Rule 144 under the
Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this
document.

   Brokers or dealers involved in the sale may receive commissions or discounts
in connection with such sale in amounts to be negotiated. A broker or dealer
that acts as agent for a purchaser of common shares would be paid by the
purchaser. The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers who act in
connection with the sale of the common shares that are offered by this document
may be deemed underwriters for purposes of the Securities Act. Any commissions
broker-dealers receive and profits they make on resale might be deemed
underwriting discounts and commissions.

                                       8
<PAGE>

   The selling shareholders will pay all commissions, discounts and fees of
brokers, dealers or agents. Tyco will pay all other costs, fees and expenses
relating to the registration of the common shares with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

   The selling shareholders may indemnify any broker, dealer or other agent
that participates in transactions involving the sale of the common shares
against liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
Under the terms of the shareholders' agreement, one of Tyco's wholly owned
subsidiaries agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders against certain
liabilities under the Securities Act or to contribute payments that the selling
shareholders may be required to make in that respect.

   Tyco has also advised the selling shareholders that the anti-manipulation
rules under Regulation M of the Exchange Act may apply to their sales of Tyco's
common shares in the market and to the activities of the selling shareholders
and their affiliates.


                                 LEGAL MATTERS

   Certain legal matters in connection with the Tyco common shares offered
hereby will be passed upon for Tyco by Appleby Spurling & Kempe, Hamilton,
Bermuda, Bermuda counsel to Tyco. Michael L. Jones, Secretary of Tyco, is a
partner of Appleby Spurling & Kempe.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

   Bye-Law 102 of Tyco's Bye-Laws provides, in part, that Tyco shall indemnify
its directors and other officers for all costs, losses and expenses which they
may incur in the performance of their duties as director or officer, provided
that such indemnification is not otherwise prohibited under the Companies Act
1981 (as amended) of Bermuda. Section 98 of the Companies Act 1981 (as amended)
prohibits such indemnification against any liability arising out of fraud or
dishonesty of the director or officer. However, such section permits Tyco to
indemnify a director or officer against any liability incurred by him in
defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is
given in his favor or in which he is acquitted or when other similar relief is
granted to him.

   Tyco maintains $250 million of insurance to reimburse the directors and
officers of Tyco and its subsidiaries, for charges and expenses incurred by
them for wrongful acts claimed against them by reason of their being or having
been directors or officers of Tyco or any of its subsidiaries. Such insurance
specifically excludes reimbursement of any director or officer for any charge
or expense incurred in connection with various designated matters, including
libel or slander, illegally obtained personal profits, profits recovered by
Tyco pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and deliberate dishonesty.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

   (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
  a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

       (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
    Securities Act of 1933;

       (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
    the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent
    post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
    aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
    in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
    increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
    dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
    registered) and any deviation from the maximum aggregate offering price
    may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities
    and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), if, in the aggregate,
    the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent
    change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
    "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
    statement; and

       (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
    of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement
    or any material change to such information in this registration
    statement;

  provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
  the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
  those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed or furnished to the
  Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
  Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in
  the registration statement.

     (2) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
  Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
  registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
  offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
  bona fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
  any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
  termination of the offering.

   (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

   (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.


                                      II-2

   (d) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

     (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
  of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part
  of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in
  a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
  (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part
  of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

     (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
  Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
  prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
  the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
  time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
