See the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” in this prospectus.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We have made forward-looking statements in this prospectus and the documents incorporated in this prospectus that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information available to our management at the time such statements were made. Forward-looking statements include, among others, the information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, financing plans, competitive position, potential growth opportunities, potential operating performance improvements, acquisitions, divestitures, the effects of competition, and the effects of future legislation or regulations. Forward-looking statements also include statements addressing our environmental, social, governance, and sustainability plans and goals. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “aspire,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “goal,” “target,” “continue,” “may,” and “should,” or the negative of these terms or similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The risk factors discussed under “Part I, Item 1A — Risk Factors” in TE Connectivity’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2023, and under similar headings in TE Connectivity’s subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K, as well as the other risks and uncertainties described in any applicable prospectus supplement and in the other documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. There may be other risks and uncertainties that we are unable to predict at this time or that we currently do not expect to have a material adverse effect on our business. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update these forward-looking statements other than as required by law.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise stated in the prospectus supplement accompanying this prospectus, we will use the net proceeds from the sale of any registered shares, warrants, debt securities or units that may be offered hereby for general corporate purposes. Such general corporate purposes may include, but are not limited to, reducing or refinancing our indebtedness or the indebtedness of our subsidiaries, financing possible acquisitions and redeeming outstanding securities. The prospectus supplement relating to an offering will contain a more detailed description of the use of proceeds of any specific offering of securities.

TE Connectivity and TEGSA will provide a specific plan of distribution for any securities to be offered in a supplement to this prospectus.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

TE Connectivity is a Swiss company, and TEGSA is a Luxembourg company. TE Connectivity and TEGSA have consented in the indenture to be used in connection with the issuance of debt securities to submit to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal and state courts in The City of New York and to receive service of process in The City of New York in any legal suit, action or proceeding brought to enforce any rights under or with respect to such indenture and any debt securities or guarantees issued under it. A substantial majority of TE Connectivity’s directly held assets consists of shares in TEGSA. Accordingly, any judgment against TEGSA or TE Connectivity in respect of the indenture, the notes or the guarantee, including for civil liabilities under the U.S. federal securities laws, obtained in any U.S. federal or state court may have to be enforced in the courts of Luxembourg or Switzerland. Investors should not assume that the courts of Luxembourg or Switzerland would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against TEGSA or TE Connectivity predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or that such courts would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against TEGSA or TE Connectivity predicated solely upon such laws.

Luxembourg

TEGSA is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg. Certain members of the board of directors are non-residents of the United States and a substantial portion of TEGSA’s assets and those of such directors are located outside the United States. As a result, you may not be able to effect a service of process within the United States on TEGSA or on such persons or to enforce in Luxembourg courts judgments obtained against TEGSA or such persons in U.S. courts, including actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal and state securities laws or other laws. Likewise, it may also be difficult for an investor to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained against TEGSA or such persons in courts in jurisdictions outside the United States, including actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

TEGSA has been advised by Allen & Overy, société en commandite simple, its Luxembourg counsel, that the United States and the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg are not currently bound by a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments (other than arbitral awards) rendered in civil and commercial matters. According to such counsel, an enforceable judgment for the payment of monies rendered by any U.S. federal or state court based on civil liability, whether or not predicated solely upon the U.S. securities laws, would not directly be enforceable in Luxembourg. However, a party who received such favorable judgment in a U.S. court may initiate enforcement proceedings in Luxembourg (exequatur) by requesting enforcement of the U.S. judgment before the District Court (Tribunal d’Arrondissement) of Luxembourg sitting in civil matters pursuant to Article 678 of the New Luxembourg Code of Civil Procedure. The president of the District Court will authorize the enforcement in Luxembourg of the U.S. judgment if it is satisfied that all of the following conditions are met:

•

the U.S. judgment is enforceable (exécutoire) in the United States;

•

the jurisdictional ground of the U.S. court is founded according to Luxembourg private international law rules and to the applicable domestic U.S. federal or state jurisdiction rules;

•

the U.S. court has applied to the dispute the substantive law which would have been applied by Luxembourg courts or, at least, the judgment must not contravene the principles underlying these rules;

•

the U.S. judgment must not have violated the right of the defendant to present a defense;

•

the considerations of the U.S. judgment as well as the U.S. judgment as such do not contravene Luxembourg international public policy;

•

the U.S. court has acted in accordance with its own procedural laws; and

•

the U.S. judgment was not rendered as a result of or in connection with an evasion of Luxembourg law (“fraude à la loi”).

LEGAL MATTERS

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, New York, New York will pass upon the validity of the debt securities, guarantees, warrants and units offered by TE Connectivity or TEGSA. The validity of the registered shares offered by TE Connectivity will be passed upon by Bär & Karrer AG, Zurich, Switzerland, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement.

EXPERTS

The financial statements of TE Connectivity Ltd. as of September 29, 2023 and September 30, 2022, and for each of the three years in the period ended September 29, 2023, incorporated by reference in this Prospectus by reference to TE Connectivity Ltd.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2023, and the effectiveness of TE Connectivity Ltd.’s internal control over financial reporting have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their reports.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

TE Connectivity Ltd.

The articles of association and organizational regulations of TE Connectivity provide as follows:

•

TE Connectivity shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the existing and former directors and officers of TE Connectivity, and their heirs, executors and administrators out of the assets of TE Connectivity from and against all damages, losses, liabilities and expenses in connection with threatened, pending or completed actions, proceedings or investigations, whether civil, criminal, administrative or other (including, but not limited to, liabilities under contract, tort and statute or any applicable foreign law or regulation and all reasonable legal and other costs and expenses properly payable) which they or any of them, their heirs, executors or administrators, shall or may incur or sustain by or by reason of (i) any act done or alleged to be done, concurred or alleged to be concurred in or omitted or alleged to be omitted in or about the execution of their duty, or alleged duty, or (ii) serving as director or officer of TE Connectivity, or (iii) serving at the request of TE Connectivity as director, officer, or employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, trust or other enterprise. This indemnity shall not extend to any matter in which any of said persons is found, in a final judgment or decree of a court, arbitral tribunal or governmental or administrative authority of competent jurisdiction not subject to appeal, to have committed an intentional or grossly negligent breach of said person’s duties as director or officer.

•

Without limiting the foregoing, TE Connectivity shall advance to existing and former directors and officers court costs and attorney fees in connection with civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings as described in the preceding paragraph. TE Connectivity may reject and/or recover such advanced costs if a court or governmental or administrative authority of competent jurisdiction

II-1

TABLE OF CONTENTS

not subject to appeal holds that the director or officer in question has committed an intentional or grossly negligent breach of his statutory duties as a director or officer.

•

TE Connectivity may procure insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of TE Connectivity, or is or was serving at the request of TE Connectivity as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or in a fiduciary or other capacity with respect to any employee benefit plan maintained by TE Connectivity, against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not TE Connectivity would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of art. 26 (of TE Connectivity’s articles of association). The insurance premiums shall be charged to and paid by TE Connectivity or its subsidiaries.

Tyco Electronics Group S.A.

Under the articles of association of TEGSA, TEGSA may indemnify any director or officer and his or her heirs, executors and administrators against expenses reasonably incurred by such director or officer in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which the director or officer may be made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of TEGSA or, at such director’s or officer’s request, of any other corporation of which TEGSA is a shareholder or creditor and from which the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified, except in relation to matters as to which the director or officer is finally adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding to be liable for gross negligence or misconduct.

In the event of a settlement, indemnification will be provided only in connection with such matters covered by the settlement as to which TEGSA is advised by counsel that the person to be indemnified did not commit a breach of duty. Luxembourg law permits TEGSA to maintain insurance to compensate for any civil liability incurred by a director or officer in his or her official capacity or to indemnify for such loss or liability, and TE Connectivity has policies covering TEGSA’s directors and officers.

As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrants undertake that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrants pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrants will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrants relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrants or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrants;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrants or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrants; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrants to the purchaser.

(6) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of TE Connectivity’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 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 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 the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(7) To file an application for the purposes of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.

(8) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by a registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of such 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 Registrants will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
