        <footnote id="F1">Each Restricted Stock Unit that accrues during the vesting period represents a contingent right to receive one share of UTC common stock.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Column 6 of Table II in the Form 4 filed on November 28, 2018, incorrectly stated that these Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) were exercisable on November 13, 2020.  Instead, as correctly noted in footnote (6) associated with the November 28 filing, the RSUs vest on October 2, 2020.</footnote>
