NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of TE Connectivity Ltd. (“TE Connectivity” or the “Company,” which may be referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared in United States (“U.S.”) dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In management’s opinion, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim results. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire fiscal year or any subsequent interim period. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2023. Unless otherwise indicated, references in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 are to our fiscal years ending September 27, 2024 and ended September 29, 2023, respectively. Change in Place of Incorporation In March 2024, our board of directors approved a proposed change in our jurisdiction of incorporation from Switzerland to Ireland. In connection with the proposed change, we entered into a merger agreement with our wholly-owned subsidiary, TE Connectivity plc, a public limited company incorporated under Irish law. Under the merger agreement, we will be merged with and into TE Connectivity plc, which will be the surviving entity. The merger was approved by shareholders at a special general meeting in June 2024 and is subject to certain closing conditions. We expect to implement the change on or about September 30, 2024. Our shareholders will receive one ordinary share of TE Connectivity plc for each common share of TE Connectivity Ltd. held immediately prior to the merger. Upon completion of the merger, we will be organized under the laws of Ireland. We do not anticipate any material change in our operations or financial results as a result of the merger and change in place of incorporation. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In March 2024, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued its final climate disclosure rules, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors , which require all registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. The rules require disclosure of, among other things, material climate-related risks, activities to mitigate or adapt to such risks, governance and oversight of such risks, material climate targets and goals, and Scope 1 and/or Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions, on a phased-in basis, when those emissions are material. In addition, the final rules require certain disclosures in the notes to the financial statements, including the effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions. The rules are effective for us on a phased-in timeline starting in fiscal 2026; however, in April 2024, the SEC issued an order to voluntarily stay its final climate rules pending the completion of judicial review thereof by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. We are currently assessing the impact of the rules on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures through improvements to disclosures related primarily to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments are effective for us in fiscal 2026; however, early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact that adoption will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements. 7 Table of Contents In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280)—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective for our fiscal 2025 Annual Report and subsequent interim periods; however, early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently assessing the impact that adoption will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50)—Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations , to enhance transparency and introduce new disclosures related to an entity’s use of supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services. The ASU requires us, as a buyer in a supplier finance program, to disclose the key terms of the program, the amount of obligations outstanding, the balance sheet presentation of such amounts, and a rollforward of the obligation activity during the annual period. We adopted this update in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Adoption did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 9 for additional information regarding our supply chain finance program. 2.

During the nine months ended June 28, 2024, we recorded restructuring charges of $ 24 million in connection with this program. We expect to complete all restructuring actions commenced during the nine months ended June 28, 2024 by the end of fiscal 2025 and anticipate that additional charges related to actions commenced during the nine months ended June 28, 2024 will be insignificant. Fiscal 2023 Actions During fiscal 2023, we initiated a restructuring program associated with cost structure improvements across all segments. In connection with this program, during the nine months ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023, we recorded net restructuring charges of $ 7 million and $ 200 million, respectively. We expect to complete all restructuring actions commenced during fiscal 2023 by the end of fiscal 2025 and to incur additional charges of approximately $ 10 million related primarily to employee severance and facility exit costs.

We expect that any additional charges related to restructuring actions commenced prior to fiscal 2023 will be insignificant. 9 Table of Contents Total Restructuring Reserves Restructuring reserves included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ June 28, ​ September 29, ​ ​ 2024 2023 ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Accrued and other current liabilities ​ $ 197 ​ $ 240 ​ Other liabilities ​ 40 ​ 80 ​ Restructuring reserves ​ $ 237 ​ $ 320 ​ ​ Divestitures During the nine months ended June 28, 2024, we sold one business for net cash proceeds of $ 59 million. In connection with the divestiture, we recorded a pre-tax gain on sale of $ 10 million in the nine months ended June 28, 2024. Additionally, during the nine months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $ 60 million when the business was reclassified to held for sale. The business sold was reported in our Transportation Solutions segment. During the nine months ended June 30, 2023, we sold three businesses for net cash proceeds of $ 48 million. In connection with the divestitures, we recorded pre-tax impairment charges and a net pre-tax loss on sales, which totaled to a net charge of $ 12 million. The businesses sold were both reported in our Industrial Solutions segment. Change in Place of Incorporation During the nine months ended June 28, 2024, we incurred costs of $ 11 million related to our change in place of incorporation from Switzerland to Ireland. See Note 1 for additional information regarding the change. ​ 3. Acquisitions During the quarter ended December 29, 2023, we acquired approximately 98.7 % of the outstanding shares of Schaffner Holding AG (“Schaffner”), a leader in electromagnetic solutions based in Switzerland, for CHF 505.00 per share in cash for a purchase price of CHF 294 million (equivalent to $ 339 million), net of cash acquired. As a result of the transaction, we recognized a noncontrolling interest with a fair value of $ 5 million as of the acquisition date. The acquisition was reported as part of our Industrial Solutions segment from the date of acquisition. Our valuation of identifiable intangible assets, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed is currently in process; therefore, the current allocation is subject to adjustment upon finalization of the valuations. The amount of these potential adjustments could be significant. During the quarter ended June 28, 2024, we completed a squeeze-out of the remaining minority shareholders for $ 5 million and the Schaffner shares were delisted from the SIX Swiss Exchange. We acquired one business for a cash purchase price of $ 108 million, net of cash acquired, during the nine months ended June 30, 2023. The acquisition was reported as part of our Industrial Solutions segment from the date of acquisition. 4.

At June 28, 2024, the aggregate amortization expense on intangible assets is expected to be as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (in millions) Remainder of fiscal 2024 ​ $ 41 ​ Fiscal 2025 ​ ​ 159 ​ Fiscal 2026 ​ 152 ​ Fiscal 2027 ​ 133 ​ Fiscal 2028 ​ 100 ​ Fiscal 2029 ​ 93 ​ Thereafter ​ 499 ​ Total ​ $ 1,177 ​ ​ 7. Debt As of June 28, 2024, Tyco Electronics Group S.A. (“TEGSA”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, had $ 309 million of commercial paper outstanding at a weighted-average interest rate of 5.48 %. TEGSA had $ 330 million of commercial paper outstanding at a weighted-average interest rate of 5.50 % at September 29, 2023. During the nine months ended June 28, 2024, we reclassified € 550 million of 0.00 % euro-denominated senior notes due in February 2025 from long-term debt to short-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. 11 Table of Contents TEGSA entered into a new five-year unsecured senior revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) in April 2024 with aggregate commitments of $ 1.5 billion, which refinanced and replaced in full TEGSA’s existing $ 1.5 billion five-year unsecured senior revolving credit facility (the “Replaced Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility matures in April 2029 and permits, subject to conditions set forth therein, our contemplated merger and change in jurisdiction of incorporation. See Note 1 for additional information regarding the merger and change in our jurisdiction of incorporation. TEGSA had no borrowings under the Credit Facility at June 28, 2024 or the Replaced Credit Facility at September 29, 2023. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of TEGSA, (1) with respect to revolving loans denominated in U.S. dollars, (a) the term secured overnight financing rate (“Term SOFR”) (as defined in the Credit Facility) or (b) an alternate base rate equal to the highest of (i) Bank of America , N.A.’s base rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 1 / 2 of 1%, (iii) the Term SOFR for a one-month interest period plus 1 %, and (iv) 1 %, and (2) with respect to revolving loans determined in an alternative currency, (a) an alternative currency daily rate or (b) an alternative currency term rate , as applicable, plus, in each case, an applicable margin based upon the senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating of TEGSA. TEGSA is required to pay an annual facility fee. Based on the applicable credit ratings of TEGSA, this fee ranges from 5.0 to 12.5 basis points of the lenders’ commitments under the Credit Facility. The fair value of our debt, based on indicative valuations, was approximately $ 4,079 million and $ 3,974 million at June 28, 2024 and September 29, 2023, respectively. 8. Leases The components of lease cost were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the ​ For the ​ ​ ​ Quarters Ended Nine Months Ended ​ ​ ​ June 28, ​ June 30, ​ June 28, ​ June 30, ​ ​ 2024 2023 2024 2023 ​ (in millions) Operating lease cost ​ $ 33 ​ $ 36 ​ $ 100 ​ $ 106 ​ Variable lease cost ​ ​ 13 ​ ​ 15 ​ ​ 38 ​ ​ 40 ​ Total lease cost ​ $ 46 ​ $ 51 ​ $ 138 ​ $ 146 ​ ​ Cash flow information, including significant non-cash transactions, related to leases was as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the ​ ​ ​ Nine Months Ended ​ ​ ​ June 28, ​ June 30, ​ ​ 2024 2023 ​ (in millions) Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Payments for operating leases (1) ​ $ 105 ​ $ 94 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Right-of-use assets, including modifications of existing leases, obtained in exchange for operating lease liabilities ​ ​ 144 ​ ​ 82 ​ (1) These payments are included in cash flows from operating activities, primarily in changes in accrued and other current liabilities. 9. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings In the normal course of business, we are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including patent infringement claims, product liability matters, employment disputes, disputes on agreements, other commercial disputes, environmental matters, antitrust claims, and tax matters, including non-income tax matters such as value added tax, sales and use tax, real estate tax, and transfer tax. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these proceedings, based upon our experience, current information, and applicable law, we do not expect that the outcome of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. 12 Table of Contents Trade Compliance Matters We have been investigating our past compliance with relevant U.S. trade controls and have made voluntary disclosures of apparent trade controls violations to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) and the U.S. State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (“DDTC”). We are cooperating with the BIS and DDTC on these matters, and the resulting investigations are ongoing. We have also been contacted by the U.S. Department of Justice concerning aspects of these matters. We are unable to predict the timing and final outcome of the agencies’ investigations. An unfavorable outcome may include fines or penalties imposed in response to our disclosures, but we are not yet able to reasonably estimate the extent of any such fines or penalties. Although we have reserved for potential fines and penalties relating to these matters based on our current understanding of the facts, the investigations into these matters have yet to be completed and the final outcome of such investigations and related fines and penalties may differ from amounts currently reserved. Environmental Matters We are involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to environmental remediation matters at a number of sites. The ultimate cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations, and alternative cleanup methods. As of June 28, 2024, we concluded that we would incur investigation and remediation costs at these sites in the reasonably possible range of $ 17 million to $ 43 million, and we accrued $ 21 million as the probable loss, which was the best estimate within this range. We believe that any potential payment of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. Guarantees In disposing of assets or businesses, we often provide representations, warranties, and/or indemnities to cover various risks including unknown damage to assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability for investigation and remediation of environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. We do not expect that these uncertainties will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. At June 28, 2024, we had outstanding letters of credit, letters of guarantee, and surety bonds of $ 185 million, including letters of credit of $ 22 million associated with our divestiture of the Subsea Communications business. In addition, as of June 28, 2024, we had $ 24 million of performance guarantees associated with the divestiture. We contractually agreed to continue to honor letters of credit and performance guarantees related to the business’ projects that existed as of the date of sale; however, based on historical experience, we do not anticipate having to perform on these guarantees. Supply Chain Finance Program We have an agreement with a financial institution that allows participating suppliers the ability to finance payment obligations. The financial institution has separate arrangements with the suppliers and provides them with the option to request early payment for invoices. We do not determine the terms or conditions of the arrangement between the financial institution and suppliers. Our obligation to suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by the suppliers’ decisions to finance amounts under the arrangement and we are not required to post collateral with the financial institution. The outstanding payment obligations under our supply chain finance program, which are included in accounts payable on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $ 106 million and $ 109 million at June 28, 2024 and September 29, 2023, respectively. 10. Financial Instruments Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk As part of managing the exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we utilize cross-currency swap contracts and foreign currency forward contracts, a portion of which are designated as cash flow hedges. The objective of these contracts is to minimize impacts to cash flows and profitability due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on intercompany and other cash transactions. We expect that significantly all of the balance in accumulated other comprehensive 13 Table of Contents income (loss) associated with the cash flow hedge-designated instruments addressing foreign exchange risks will be reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations within the next twelve months. Hedge of Net Investment We hedge our net investment in certain foreign operations using intercompany loans and external borrowings denominated in the same currencies. The aggregate notional value of these hedges was $ 1,556 million and $ 1,709 million at June 28, 2024 and September 29, 2023, respectively. We also use a cross-currency swap program to hedge our net investment in certain foreign operations. The aggregate notional value of the contracts under this program was $ 4,316 million and $ 3,806 million at June 28, 2024 and September 29, 2023, respectively. Under the terms of these contracts, we receive interest in U.S. dollars at a weighted-average rate of 1.6 % per annum and pay no interest. Upon the maturity of these contracts at various dates through fiscal 2028, we will pay the notional value of the contracts in the designated foreign currency and receive U.S. dollars from our counterparties. We are not required to provide collateral for these contracts. These cross-currency swap contracts were recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ June 28, ​ September 29, ​ ​ 2024 2023 ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Prepaid expenses and other current assets ​ $ 88 ​ $ 109 ​ Other assets ​ 47 ​ 79 ​ Accrued and other current liabilities ​ ​ 5 ​ ​ 4 ​ Other liabilities ​ ​ 18 ​ ​ 10 ​ ​ The impacts of our hedge of net investment programs were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the ​ For the ​ ​ ​ ​ Quarters Ended ​ Nine Months Ended ​ ​ ​ June 28, ​ June 30, ​ June 28, ​ June 30, ​ ​ 2024 2023 2024 2023 ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Foreign currency exchange gains (losses) on intercompany loans and external borrowings (1) ​ $ 29 ​ $ 8 ​ $ 7 ​ $ ( 208 ) ​ Gains (losses) on cross-currency swap contracts designated as hedges of net investment (1) ​ 48 ​ 46 ​ 10 ​ ( 110 ) ​ (1) Recorded as currency translation, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and offset by changes attributable to the translation of the net investment. Commodity Hedges As part of managing the exposure to certain commodity price fluctuations, we utilize commodity swap contracts. The objective of these contracts is to minimize impacts to cash flows and profitability due to changes in prices of commodities used in production. These contracts had an aggregate notional value of $ 459 million at both June 28, 2024 and September 29, 2023 and were designated as cash flow hedges. These commodity swap contracts were recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ June 28, ​ September 29, ​ ​ 2024 2023 ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Prepaid expenses and other current assets ​ $ 32 ​ $ 3 ​ Other assets ​ 2 ​ — ​ Accrued and other current liabilities ​ ​ 6 ​ ​ 21 ​ Other liabilities ​ ​ 3 ​ ​ 5 ​ ​ 14 Table of Contents The impacts of our commodity swap contracts were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the ​ For the ​ ​ ​ Quarters Ended ​ Nine Months Ended ​ ​ ​ June 28, ​ June 30, ​ June 28, ​ June 30, ​ ​ 2024 2023 2024 2023 ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Gains (losses) recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) ​ $ 23 ​ $ ( 42 ) ​ $ 62 $ 36 ​ Gains (losses) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into cost of sales ​ ​ 8 ​ ​ 3 ​ ​ 4 ​ ​ ( 35 ) ​ ​ We expect that significantly all of the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) associated with commodity hedges will be reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations within the next twelve months. 11. Retirement Plans The net periodic pension benefit cost for all non-U.S. and U.S. defined benefit pension plans was as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Non-U.S. Plans ​ U.S. Plans ​ ​ ​ For the ​ For the ​ ​ ​ Quarters Ended ​ Quarters Ended ​ ​ ​ June 28, ​ June 30, ​ June 28, ​ June 30, ​ ​ 2024 2023 2024 2023 ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Operating expense: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Service cost ​ $ 6 ​ $ 7 ​ $ 2 ​ $ 3 ​ Other (income) expense: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Interest cost ​ 16 ​ 14 ​ 10 ​ 10 ​ Expected returns on plan assets ​ ( 12 ) ​ ( 12 ) ​ ( 10 ) ​ ( 10 ) ​ Amortization of net actuarial loss ​ 1 ​ 1 ​ 1 ​ 1 ​ Amortization of prior service credit ​ ( 1 ) ​ ( 1 ) ​ — ​ — ​ Net periodic pension benefit cost ​ $ 10 ​ $ 9 ​ $ 3 ​ $ 4 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Non-U.S. Plans ​ U.S. Plans ​ ​ ​ For the ​ For the ​ ​ ​ Nine Months Ended ​ Nine Months Ended ​ ​ ​ June 28, ​ June 30, ​ June 28, ​ June 30, ​ ​ 2024 2023 2024 2023 ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Operating expense: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Service cost ​ $ 20 ​ $ 20 ​ $ 6 ​ $ 7 ​ Other (income) expense: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Interest cost ​ 46 ​ 42 ​ 29 ​ 29 ​ Expected returns on plan assets ​ ( 37 ) ​ ( 34 ) ​ ( 29 ) ​ ( 29 ) ​ Amortization of net actuarial loss ​ 3 ​ 4 ​ 3 ​ 3 ​ Amortization of prior service credit ​ ( 3 ) ​ ( 3 ) ​ — ​ — ​ Net periodic pension benefit cost ​ $ 29 ​ $ 29 ​ $ 9 ​ $ 10 ​ ​ During the nine months ended June 28, 2024, we contributed $ 33 million and $ 20 million to our non-U.S. and U.S. pension plans, respectively. 12. Income Taxes We recorded income tax expense of $ 181 million and $ 96 million for the quarters ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The income tax expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 included a $ 19 million net income tax benefit related to a divestiture. 15 Table of Contents We recorded an income tax benefit of $ 778 million and expense of $ 283 million for the nine months ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The income tax benefit for the nine months ended June 28, 2024 included an $ 874 million net income tax benefit associated with a ten-year tax credit obtained by a Swiss subsidiary and a $ 262 million income tax benefit related to the revaluation of deferred tax assets as a result of a corporate tax rate increase in Switzerland. In addition, the income tax benefit for the nine months ended June 28, 2024 included a $ 118 million income tax benefit associated with the tax impacts of a legal entity restructuring with related costs of $ 4 million recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses for other non-income taxes. The income tax expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 included a $ 19 million net income tax benefit related to a divestiture. Although it is difficult to predict the timing or results of our worldwide examinations, we estimate that, as of June 28, 2024, approximately $ 30 million of unrecognized income tax benefits, excluding the impact relating to accrued interest and penalties, could be resolved within the next twelve months. We are not aware of any other matters that would result in significant changes to the amount of unrecognized income tax benefits reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 28, 2024. 13. Earnings Per Share The weighted-average number of shares outstanding used in the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the ​ For the ​ ​ ​ Quarters Ended ​ Nine Months Ended ​ ​ ​ June 28, ​ June 30, ​ June 28, ​ June 30, ​ ​ 2024 2023 2024 2023 ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Basic ​ 306 ​ 315 ​ 308 ​ 316 ​ Dilutive impact of share-based compensation arrangements ​ 2 ​ 2 ​ 2 ​ 2 ​ Diluted ​ 308 ​ 317 ​ 310 ​ 318 ​ ​ The following share options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the instruments’ underlying exercise prices were greater than the average market prices of our common shares and inclusion would be antidilutive: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the ​ For the ​ ​ ​ Quarters Ended ​ Nine Months Ended ​ ​ ​ June 28, ​ June 30, ​ June 28, ​ June 30, ​ ​ 2024 2023 2024 2023 ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Antidilutive share options 1 ​ 1 ​ 1 ​ 1 ​ ​ ​ 14. Shareholders’ Equity Common Shares In March 2024, our shareholders reapproved and extended through March 13, 2025, our board of directors’ authorization to issue additional new shares to a maximum of 120 % and/or reduce shares to a minimum of 80 % of the existing share capital, subject to certain conditions specified in our articles of association. Common Shares Held in Treasury In March 2024, our shareholders approved the cancellation of approximately six million shares purchased under our share repurchase program during the period beginning October 1, 2022 and ending September 29, 2023. The capital reduction by cancellation of these shares, which was subject to a notice period, filing with the commercial register in Switzerland, and other requirements, became effective in March 2024. 16 Table of Contents Dividends We paid cash dividends to shareholders as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the ​ For the ​ ​ Quarters Ended ​ Nine Months Ended ​ June 28, June 30, June 28, June 30, ​ 2024 2023 2024 2023 Dividends paid per common share ​ $ 0.65 ​ $ 0.59 ​ $ 1.83 ​ $ 1.71 ​ ​ In March 2024, our shareholders approved a dividend payment to shareholders of $ 2.60 per share, payable in four equal quarterly installments of $ 0.65 per share beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 and ending in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Upon shareholders’ approval of a dividend payment, we record a liability with a corresponding charge to equity. At June 28, 2024 and September 29, 2023, the unpaid portion of the dividends recorded in accrued and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets totaled $ 594 million and $ 368 million, respectively. Share Repurchase Program During the nine months ended June 28, 2024, our board of directors authorized an increase of $ 1.5 billion in our share repurchase program. Common shares repurchased under the share repurchase program were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the ​ ​ ​ Nine Months Ended ​ ​ ​ June 28, ​ June 30, ​ ​ 2024 2023 ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Number of common shares repurchased ​ 9 ​ 5 ​ Repurchase value $ 1,235 $ 621 ​ ​ At June 28, 2024, we had $ 1.0 billion of availability remaining under our share repurchase authorization. ​ 15.

No further awards will be granted under the 2007 Plan and all remaining shares available under the 2007 plan have been cancelled. As of June 28, 2024, we had 20 million shares available for issuance under the 2024 Plan.
