Pursuant to the Consent Agreement,

Tyco is required to divest the Sheridan

Line to Hudson RCI within ten days of

the date the Commission places the

Order on the public record. If the

divestiture to Hudson RCI is not

accomplished, Tyco must divest the

Sheridan Line to a Commissionapproved acquirer within six months.

Should Tyco fail to do so, the

Commission may appoint a trustee to

divest the business.

The Consent Agreement includes a

number of provisions that are designed

to ensure that the transition of Tyco’s

endotracheal tube business to the

acquirer is successful. The Consent

Agreement requires Tyco to provide

incentives to certain key employees to

accept employment, and remain

employed, by the acquirer. Tyco

employees who had been involved with

selling the Sheridan endtracheal tube

line are prohibited from selling the

Mallinckrodt endotracheal tube

products for a period of one year. Tyco

is also prohibited from inducing key

hospital group purchasing organizations

from terminating their contracts with

the acquirer for a period of two years.

Finally, Tyco employees involved with

the endotracheal tube business are

prohibited from disclosing any

confidential information to employees

involved with the Mallinckrodt line.

In order to ensure that the

Commission remains informed about

the status of the Tyco endotracheal tube

business pending divestiture, and about

efforts being made to accomplish the

divestiture, the Consent Agreement

requires Tyco to report to the

Commission within 30 days, and every

thirty days thereafter until the

divestiture is accomplished. In addition,

Tyco is required to report to the

Commission every 60 days regarding its

obligations to provide transitional

services and facilities management.

The purpose of this analysis is to

facilitate public comment on the

Consent Agreement, and it is not

intended to constitute an official

interpretation of the Consent Agreement

or to modify in any way its terms.

By direction of the Commission.

Benjamin I. Berman,

Acting Secretary.
