All statements in this document other than statements of historical fact are, or could be, &#8220;forward-looking statements&#8221; within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as &#8220;outlook,&#8221; &#8220;believes,&#8221; &#8220;expects,&#8221; &#8220;potential,&#8221; &#8220;continues,&#8221; &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;will,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;could,&#8221; &#8220;seeks,&#8221; &#8220;projects,&#8221; &#8220;predicts,&#8221; &#8220;intends,&#8221; &#8220;plans,&#8221; &#8220;estimates,&#8221; &#8220;anticipates&#8221; or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. However, the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements relating to the Company&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer succession plan. Investors are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Johnson Controls cautions that these statements are subject to numerous important risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, some of which are beyond Johnson Controls&#8217; control, that could cause its actual results and performance to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements that include, among others, the risks contained in the section entitled &#8220;Risk Factors&#8221; in Johnson Controls Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2023 fiscal year filed with the SEC, which is available at www.sec.gov and www.johnsoncontrols.com under the &#8220;Investors&#8221; tab, and such factors may be updated from time to time in Johnson Controls&#8217; filings with the SEC, which are or will be accessible on the SEC&#8217;s website at www.sec.gov. Shareholders, potential investors and others should consider these factors in evaluating the forward-looking statements and should not place undue reliance on such statements. The forward-looking statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K are made only as of the date of this document, unless otherwise specified, and, except as required by law, Johnson Controls assumes no obligation, and disclaims any obligation, to update such statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.</span></div><div

Johnson Controls International plc Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Johnson Controls International plc has made statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are forward-looking and therefore are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements in this document other than statements of historical fact are, or could be, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "outlook," "believes," "expects," "potential," "continues," "may," "will," "should," "could," "seeks," "projects," "predicts," "intends," "plans," "estimates," "anticipates" or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. However, the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements relating to the Company's Chief Executive Officer succession plan. Investors are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Johnson Controls cautions that these statements are subject to numerous important risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, some of which are beyond Johnson Controls' control, that could cause its actual results and performance to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements that include, among others, the risks contained in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in Johnson Controls Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2023 fiscal year filed with the SEC, which is available at www.sec.gov and www.johnsoncontrols.com under the "Investors" tab, and such factors may be updated from time to time in Johnson Controls' filings with the SEC, which are or will be accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Shareholders, potential investors and others should consider these factors in evaluating the forward-looking statements and should not place undue reliance on such statements. The forward-looking statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K are made only as of the date of this document, unless otherwise specified, and, except as required by law, Johnson Controls assumes no obligation, and disclaims any obligation, to update such statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
