<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On May&nbsp;3, 2019, Johnson Controls International plc (the &#147;Company&#148;) launched a tender offer to purchase from its stockholders up
to $4,000,000,000&nbsp;in value of the Company&#146;s ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share (the &#147;Shares&#148;), at a single <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">per-Share</FONT> purchase price not greater than $40.00 nor less than $36.00, to
the tendering shareholder in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase dated May&nbsp;3, 2019 (the &#147;Offer to Purchase&#148;) and in the
related Letter of Transmittal (which together, as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time, constitute the &#147;Offer&#148;).&nbsp;The Offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on May&nbsp;31, 2019, unless the
Offer is extended. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On May&nbsp;3, 2019, the Company received notice from the plan administrator that in connection with the Offer,
eligible participants in the Johnson Controls Retirement Savings and Investment Plan, the Johnson Controls Select Hourly Retirement Savings and Investment Plan and the Johnson Controls Federal Systems, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (collectively, the
&#147;Plans&#148;) who choose to participate in the Offer will not be able to effect certain transactions with respect to their Plan&#146;s Company stock fund, including exchanges out, loans, withdrawals and distributions into or out of the Company
stock fund (the &#147;Participant Restrictions&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the Participant Restrictions apply to 50% or more of the participants in the
Plans for a period of more than three consecutive business days, a blackout period would arise under Section&nbsp;306(a)&nbsp;of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Regulation BTR. During any blackout period, directors and executive officers of the
Company would be prohibited from purchasing, selling, or otherwise acquiring or transferring, directly or indirectly, any equity security of the Company acquired in connection with their employment as an executive officer or services as a director
of the Company (or any successor or subsidiary thereof). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It is currently unknown whether a blackout period will arise in connection with
the Offer, because we cannot determine at this time whether 50% or more of the participants in the Plans will make, and not revoke, an election to participate in the Offer. If a blackout period does arise because this 50% threshold is met, the
blackout period could begin as soon as 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 28, 2019, and could extend through June&nbsp;14, 2019. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On
May&nbsp;7, 2019, in accordance with Section&nbsp;306(a)&nbsp;of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Rule&nbsp;104 of Regulation BTR, the Company sent a blackout trading restriction notice to its directors and executive officers informing them that
they may be prohibited from purchasing, selling or otherwise acquiring or transferring, directly or indirectly, any equity security of the Company acquired in connection with their employment as an officer or services as a director, but only if a
blackout period actually arises pursuant to Section&nbsp;306(a)&nbsp;of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Regulation BTR. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A copy of the
blackout trading restriction notice to directors and executive officers of the Company, which includes the information required by Rule&nbsp;104(b)&nbsp;of Regulation BTR, is attached hereto as Exhibit&nbsp;99.1 and is incorporated herein by
reference. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Additional Information Regarding the Offer </B></P>

offer statement on Schedule TO (the &#147;Schedule TO&#148;). The offer materials are being sent to holders of the Shares. Holders may also obtain free copies of the offer materials online at the website of the SEC at <U>www.sec.gov</U> as exhibits
