Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Financial Statements and Exhibit
Offering of Equity Units
On March 10, 2009, Johnson Controls, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (the
"Company"), entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the "Equity Units
Underwriting Agreement") with J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Citigroup Global
Markets Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as
representatives of the several underwriters listed therein (collectively, the
"Equity Units Underwriters"), with respect to a registered public offering (the
"Equity Units Offering") of 8,000,000 equity units (the "Equity Units") for an
aggregate stated amount of $400,000,000. The Equity Units Offering is expected
to close on March 16, 2009. Pursuant to the Equity Units Underwriting Agreement,
the Equity Units Underwriters have a 13-day option to purchase up to an
additional 1,200,000 Equity Units, solely to cover over-allotments, if any.
Each Equity Unit has a stated amount of $50 and will initially consist of
(i) a forward purchase contract obligating the holder to purchase from the
Company for a price in cash of $50, on the purchase contract settlement date of
March 31, 2012, subject to early settlement in accordance with the terms of the
Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement (as hereinafter defined), a certain
number (the "Settlement Rate") of shares of the Company's common stock, $0.01
7/18 par value (the "Common Stock"); and (ii) a 1/20, or 5%, undivided
beneficial ownership interest in $1,000 principal amount of the Company's 11.50%
subordinated notes due 2042 (the "Subordinated Notes"). The Settlement Rate will
be calculated as follows:
- If the applicable market value (as defined below) of the Common Stock is equal
to or greater than $10.29 (the "threshold appreciation price"), then the
Settlement Rate will be 4.8579 shares of Common Stock;
- If the applicable market value of the Common Stock is less than the threshold
appreciation price but greater than $8.95 (the "reference price"), then the
Settlement Rate will be a number of shares of Common Stock equal to $50 divided
by the applicable market value; and
- If the applicable market value of the Common Stock is less than or equal to
the reference price, then the Settlement Rate will be 5.5866 shares of Common
Stock.
The "applicable market value" of the Common Stock means the average of the
closing price per share of Common Stock on each of the 20 consecutive trading
days ending on the third trading day immediately preceding the purchase contract
settlement date. The reference price represents the last reported sale price of
the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on March 10, 2009. The threshold
appreciation price represents a premium of 15% over the reference price. The
reference price, threshold appreciation price and settlement rate are subject to
anti-dilution adjustments.
The Equity Units Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations,
warranties and agreements of the Company, conditions to closing, indemnification
rights and obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The
description of the Equity Units Underwriting Agreement set forth above is
qualified by reference to the Equity Units Underwriting Agreement filed as
Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by
reference.
The Subordinated Notes are being issued pursuant to a Subordinated Indenture,
between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (the
"Subordinated Indenture Trustee"), to be dated March 16, 2009, as amended and
supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 1, between the Company and the
Subordinated Indenture Trustee, to be dated March 16, 2009 (collectively, the
"Subordinated Indenture"). The Equity Units are being issued pursuant to a
Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, to be dated March 16, 2009 (the
"Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement"), among the Company, U.S. Bank National
Association, as purchase contract agent and U.S. Bank National Association, as
collateral agent, custodial agent and securities intermediary.
The Subordinated Indenture provides for customary events of default and
further provides that the Subordinated Indenture Trustee or the holders of not
less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Subordinated
Notes may declare the Subordinated Notes immediately due and payable upon the
occurrence of certain events of default after expiration of any applicable grace
period. In addition, in the case of an event of default arising from certain
events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization relating to the Company, all
outstanding Subordinated Notes under the Indenture will become due and payable
immediately.
Under the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, the
Subordinated Notes are being pledged as collateral to secure the holders'
obligations to purchase the shares of Common Stock under the purchase contracts.
The Company will attempt to remarket the Subordinated Notes prior to the
purchase contract settlement date pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Contract
and Pledge Agreement and a remarketing agreement, a form of which is attached as
an exhibit to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.
The Equity Units are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), on a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration
No. 333-157502) (the "Registration Statement") that the Company filed with the

Stock), subject to adjustment in certain events. Holders may convert their notes
at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day
immediately preceding the maturity date of September 30, 2012. Upon conversion,
the Company will deliver a number of shares equal to the aggregate principal
amount of the notes to be converted divided by $1,000, multiplied by the then
applicable conversion rate.
The Convertible Notes Underwriting Agreement contains customary
representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, conditions to
