Caution Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Safe Harbor
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
CommScope management believes that presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures provides meaningful information to investors in understanding operating results and
may enhance investors' ability to analyze financial and business
trends.  Non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Free Cash
Flow, are not a substitute for GAAP measures and should be considered together with the GAAP financial measures. As calculated, our non-GAAP measures may not be
comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.  In addition, CommScope management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures allow investors to
compare period to period more easily by excluding items that could have a disproportionately negative or positive impact on results in any particular period.  GAAP to non-
GAAP reconciliations are included in  the Appendix to this presentation.
This communication contains forward-looking statements (including within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) concerning
CommScope, the proposed acquisition by CommScope of the Telecom, Enterprise and Wireless businesses of TE Connectivity and other matters. These statements
may discuss goals, intentions and expectations as to future plans, trends, events, results of operations or financial condition, or otherwise, based on current beliefs of
the management of CommScope and TE Connectivity as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, such management. Forward-looking
statements may be accompanied by words such as "aim," "anticipate," "believe," "plan," "could," "would," "should," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "future," "guidance,"
"intend," "may," "will," "possible," "potential," "predict," "project" or similar words, phrases or expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks
and uncertainties, many of which are outside the control of CommScope and TE Connectivity. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on such statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include failure to obtain applicable regulatory approvals in a
timely manner, on terms acceptable to CommScope or TE Connectivity  or at all; failure to satisfy other closing conditions to the proposed transactions; the risk that
CommScope will be required to pay the reverse break-up fee under the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement; the risk that the TE Connectivity businesses will not be
integrated successfully into CommScope or that CommScope will not realize estimated cost savings, synergies and growth or that such benefits may take longer to
realize than expected; failure by CommScope to realize anticipated benefits of the acquisition; risks relating to unanticipated costs of integration; risks from relying on
TE Connectivity for various critical transaction services for an extended period; reductions in customer spending and/or a slowdown in customer payments; failure to
manage potential conflicts of interest between or among customers; unanticipated changes relating to competitive factors in the telecommunications industry; ability to
hire and retain key personnel; the potential impact of announcement or consummation of the proposed acquisition on relationships with third parties, including
customers, employees and competitors; ability to attract new customers and retain existing customers in the manner anticipated; changes in legislation or
governmental regulations affecting the CommScope and the TE Connectivity businesses to be acquired; international, national or local economic, social or political
conditions that could adversely affect CommScope, the TE Connectivity businesses to be acquired or their customers; conditions in the credit markets that could
impact the costs associated with financing the acquisition; risks associated with assumptions made in connection with the critical accounting estimates, including
segment presentation, and legal proceedings of CommScope and/or the TE Connectivity businesses  to be acquired; and the international operations of CommScope
and/or the TE Connectivity businesses to be acquired, which are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and foreign exchange controls. The foregoing list of
factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that affect the businesses of CommScope and/or the
TE Connectivity businesses to be acquired, including those described in each of CommScope's and TE Connectivity's Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports
on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other documents filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as required under
applicable law, the parties do not assume any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
