Hello again Rick, I finally got word from TYC's investor relations regarding their DRIP. Here's what she said" "Date: Wed, 31 Dec 97 14:40:00 GMT From: kmanning@tyco.geis.com To: jkolb@neuron.uchc.edu Subject: Dividend Reinvestment Plan Dear Mr. Kolb: In response to your e-mail, brokerage commissions on activity in Tyco International Ltd.'s Dividend Reinvestment Plan are 0.06 per share; Service charges are $7.50 if you elect custodial safekeeping, and $2.50 for sales of shares in the plan and upon termination of the account. If you have further questions you can contact either Dave Brownell or me by phone at 603-778-9700 or by e-mail directly at kmanning@tyco.geis.com. Sincerely, Kathy Manning Director, Investor Relations" I'm not sure if the $0.06/share is for additional purchases or those purchased from dividends. I am very happy with the company and will remain a shareholder but I don't know how this plan compares with others. Do these charges sound reasonable? Thanks for any insight, John
