Johnson Controls Receives Approval From Anti-Trust Authorities to Acquire Keiper and Recaro Automotive

BURSCHEID, Germany, June 20, 2011 -

- Acquisition Further Enhances Johnson Controls Metal
Components Product Portfolio

Johnson Controls, a global leader in automotive seating,
interiors and electronics, completed the previously announced
acquisition of Keiper and Recaro Automotive. The European
Commission in Brussels, Belgium
approved the acquisition on 17 June 2011.

Keiper is a leader in recliner system technology and is renowned
for its engineering and manufacturing expertise in metals and
mechanisms for automobile seats. The company also produces complete
seats for commercial trucks. Recaro Automotive offers complete
seats for automakers and as aftermarket equipment. As part of the
transaction, Johnson Controls also acquires the licensing rights
for the exclusive global use of the Recaro trademark for the
automotive industry. The acquisition includes 4,750 employees at 13
locations globally.

“The acquisition of Keiper and Recaro Automotive provides
Johnson Controls with a comprehensive product range in seating
components,” said Beda Bolzenius, vice president, Johnson Controls
and president, Automotive Experience. “This further complements the
acquisition of C. Rob. Hammerstein earlier this year and our
existing metals business.”

Through the integration of Keiper, Recaro Automotive and C. Rob
Hammerstein, the company is able to offer the automakers a complete
product range of metal components and mechanisms across all vehicle
segments. This positions Johnson Controls as a global leader in
seating components.

Recaro Aircraft Seating, Recaro Child Safety and Recaro Home are
not part of this acquisition and will remain as part of Putsch
Holding in Kaiserslautern, Germany. Also excluded are Keiper’s
operations, business and entity in Brazil. Financial details
regarding the transaction were not disclosed.
