Does Tyco Electronics pay dividends?
We expect that initially we will pay approximately $280 million per year in dividends to holders of our common shares. The timing, declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of our common shares, however, falls within the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon many factors, including the statutory requirements of Bermuda law, our financial condition and earnings, the capital requirements of our businesses, industry practice and any other factors the board of directors deems relevant. 5.
