Introductory Note

On May 14, 2010, Brink’s Home Security Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its merger (the “Merger”) with Barricade Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Tyco International Ltd. (“Tyco”), whereby the Company merged with and into Merger Sub with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Tyco. The Merger was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of January 18, 2010, as amended, by and among the Company, Tyco, Merger Sub, and, solely for the purposes specified therein, ADT Security Services, Inc.

Item 1.02

Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, on May 14, 2010 the Company terminated its Credit Agreement, dated as of October 21, 2008, as amended, among the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, the other lenders and agents thereto (the “Credit Agreement”), as of the effective time of the Merger. Other than three outstanding letters of credit in the aggregate amount of approximately $4.3 million, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Agreement at the effective time of the Merger. Payment of the letters of credit, which remain outstanding notwithstanding the termination of the Credit Agreement, have been guaranteed by Tyco.

Item 3.01

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On May 14, 2010, the Company notified the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) of the effectiveness of the Merger, pursuant to which each share of the Company’s common stock was converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (as defined below). The Company requested that the NYSE file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a notification of removal from listing on Form 25 to report that the shares of the Company’s common stock are no longer listed on the NYSE. The disclosure under Item 3.03 is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.03

Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

The Merger Agreement was approved by the Company’s shareholders at a special meeting of the Company’s shareholders held on May 12, 2010 (the “Special Meeting”), and the Merger was consummated on May 14, 2010.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and as announced by Tyco pursuant to press releases dated May 10, 2010 and May 14, 2010, each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock was converted into, effective as of May 14, 2010, the right to receive: (i) $13.15 in cash and 0.7562 Tyco shares, for those shareholders of the Company who made an all-cash election pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (ii) 1.0951 Tyco shares, for those shareholders of the Company who made an all-stock election pursuant to the Merger Agreement; and (iii) $12.75 in cash and 0.7666 Tyco shares, for those shareholders of the Company who made a mixed cash/stock election or who failed to make an election by the election deadline in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

Tyco is using cash on hand to fund the cash portion of the merger consideration payable in connection with the Merger.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, fractional Tyco shares will not be issued. In lieu thereof, Company shareholders will receive cash for their fractional share interests in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

Upon the effective time of the Merger, holders of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger ceased to have any rights as shareholders of the Company (other than their right to receive the merger consideration).

The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement, which was attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 19, 2010, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement, which was attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2010, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.01

Changes in Control of Registrant.

As a result of the Merger, a change of control of the Company occurred, and the Company merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Tyco. The disclosure under the Introductory Note and Item 3.03 is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Tyco requested the resignation of each director and executive officer of the Company from their capacity as a director and/or officer, effective as of the closing of the Merger. Pursuant to Tyco’s request, all of the current directors and executive officers of the Company resigned their respective positions with the Company as of the closing of the Merger. These resignations were not resignations from employment and were not a result of any disagreements between the Company and such persons on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Upon the completion of the Merger, the directors and executive officers of Merger Sub became the directors and executive officers of the Company.

Item 5.07
