<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">CORK, Ireland, March&nbsp;12, 2018 &#151; Johnson Controls International plc (NYSE: JCI) today announced that it is exploring strategic alternatives for its
Power Solutions business.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Johnson Controls&#146; portfolio includes two leading platforms within their respective industries &#150; an integrated
buildings technology and solutions business and a power solutions business that is the clear global leader in providing battery solutions to the automotive sector with an advantaged position in the aftermarket. Both of these platforms are well
positioned but are also navigating markedly different industry landscapes with unique strategic, financial and operational opportunities and requirements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;Creating shareholder value is our top priority. Our focus is on improving operational execution, realizing merger synergy and productivity benefits, and
optimizing the business portfolio<I>. </I>Given the differing dynamics of the platforms, we are evaluating strategic alternatives for Power Solutions,&#148; said George Oliver, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. &#147;Over the years our team has
built Power Solutions into an incredible business with a high-margin aftermarket model that has delivered consistent growth through business cycles. These strong fundamentals, as well as recently issued provisions of U.S. Tax Reform, will be taken
into account as we review the alternatives and assess which option creates the best long-term results for the business and the most value for shareholders.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;Today&#146;s announcement also reflects our strategic priority to strengthen and invest in our global market-leading positions in HVAC, fire and
security solutions and integrated Building Management Systems, which operate in attractive vertical markets with strong growth prospects,&#148; Oliver added.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Johnson Controls Power Solutions is a world leader working in partnership with its customers to meet increasing electrification requirements in vehicles. Our
15,000 Power Solutions employees create, manufacture, and distribute the most advanced battery technologies for virtually every type of vehicle. These technologies deliver uniquely sustainable, next-generation performance. </P>
