CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains certain "forward-looking statements" regarding business strategies, market potential, future financial performance and other matters.
Words such as "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "projects," "forecasts," "intends," "plans," "believes" and words and terms of similar substance used in
connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on
management's current expectations and beliefs about future events. As with any projection or forecast, they are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in
circumstances. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information under the U.S. federal securities laws, we are not under any obligation to, and
expressly disclaim any obligation to, update or alter any forward-looking statements whether as a result of such changes, new information, subsequent events or
otherwise.
Various factors could adversely affect our operations, business or financial results in the future and cause our actual results to differ materially from those
contained in the forward-looking statements, including those factors discussed in detail in "Risk Factors." Our actual results could differ materially from management's
expectations because of these factors, including:

· competition in the markets we serve, including new entrants in these markets;

· our ability to develop or acquire new technology;

· failure to maintain the security of our information and technology networks;

· allegations that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of third parties;

· unauthorized use of our brand name;

· risks associated with Tyco's ownership of the ADT® brand name outside of the United States and Canada;

· failure to enforce our intellectual property rights;

· our dependence on certain software technology that we license from third parties;

· failure or interruption in products or services of third-party providers;

· our greater exposure to liability for employee acts or omissions or system failures;

· an increase in the rate of customer attrition;

· downturns in the housing market and consumer discretionary income;

· risks associated with our non-compete and non-solicit arrangements with Tyco;

· entry of potential competitors upon the expiration of non-competition agreements;

· shifts in consumers' choice of, or telecommunication providers' support for, telecommunication services and equipment;

· interruption to our monitoring facilities;

· interference with our customers' access to some of our products and services through the Internet by broadband service providers;

· potential impairment of our deferred tax assets;

· changes in U.S. and non-U.S. governmental laws and regulations;

· risks associated with acquiring and integrating customer accounts;

· potential loss of authorized dealers and affinity marketing relationships;

Table of Contents

· failure to realize expected benefits from acquisitions;

· risks associated with pursuing business opportunities that diverge from our current business model;

· potential liabilities for obligations of The Brink's Company under the Coal Act;

· capital market conditions, including availability of funding sources;

· failure to fully realize expected benefits from the spin-off; and

· difficulty in operating as an independent public company separate from Tyco.
These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this prospectus. If
one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from what we
projected. Consequently, actual events and results may vary significantly from those included in or contemplated or implied by our forward-looking statements. The
forward-looking statements included in this prospectus are made only as of the date of this prospectus, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any
forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf, whether as a result of new information, future developments, subsequent events or circumstances or otherwise.

SUMMARY
This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus and may not contain all of the information that may be important to you.
You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the risk factors, our management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations, our audited consolidated and combined financial statements and our unaudited condensed, consolidated and combined financial statements and
related notes.
In this prospectus, except as otherwise indicated, any references to "ADT," "we," "us," "our," or the "Company" refer to The ADT Corporation and its
consolidated subsidiaries. The ADT Corporation is a Delaware corporation and the issuer of the notes offered hereby. References to "Tyco" refer to Tyco
International Ltd., a corporation limited by shares (Aktiengesellschaft) organized under the laws of Switzerland, and, unless otherwise indicated or the
context otherwise requires, its combined subsidiaries. ADT was incorporated in Delaware in 2012 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tyco. As part of a plan to
separate Tyco into three independent companies, Tyco transferred the equity interests of the entities that held all of the assets and liabilities of its residential
and small business security business in the United States and Canada to ADT. On September 28, 2012, Tyco distributed all of the shares of ADT to its
shareholders on a pro rata basis, thereby completing its spin-off of ADT (the "Separation") as an independent, publicly traded company.
Our Company
ADT is a leading provider of electronic security, interactive home and business automation and related monitoring services in the United States and Canada.
We currently serve more than six million residential and small business customers, making us the largest company of our kind in both the United States and Canada.
With a 138-year history, the ADT® brand is one of the most trusted and well-known brands in the security industry today. Our broad and pioneering set of products
and services, including our ADT Pulse interactive home and business solutions, and our home health services, meet a range of customer needs for modern
lifestyles. Our partner network is the broadest in the industry, and includes dealers, affinity organizations like USAA and AARP and technology providers. ADT
delivers an integrated customer experience by maintaining the industry's largest sales, installation and service field force and most robust monitoring network, all
backed by the support of nearly 16,000 employees and approximately 200 sales and service offices.
Our Strengths

· We are a security industry leader, supported by one of the industry's most trusted and well-known brands.

· We have an attractive business model which generates strong cash flows, which can be utilized to reinvest in growing and optimizing the business.

· We have an experienced management team with a proven track record.

· We have industry leading solutions and services, including ADT Pulse, our pioneering interactive services platform.

· Our nationwide footprint of branch offices, field resources and broad partner network, including our indirect dealer channel, affords us coverage and

scale leverage.

· Our monitoring capabilities set us apart in the security industry today.

Strategies
We intend to achieve sustained, profitable growth in the markets we serve today, as well as in adjacent segments, by executing against strategies that
leverage our key assets and core competencies.
Strengthen and grow the core residential business and extend our leadership position.
We will continue to manage our business by optimizing our key value drivers to maximize the value from our core business. We intend to grow our customer
base through the expansion of our current channels and the development of new ones, by continuing to improve sales force effectiveness and strengthening our
strategic marketing and promotional tactics. We will continue to manage the costs associated with adding new customers by optimizing lead generation and
conversion, working collaboratively with our solution partners to reduce hardware costs and deliver differentiated solutions and leveraging mobility tools to
automate technician scheduling and deployment. We also intend to continue to increase ADT Pulse adoption rates and thereby increase our average monthly
recurring revenue per customer and customer tenure. We regularly evaluate our pricing strategies to optimize pricing for our installed base and for new customers.
We continue to standardize our product platform to enhance our ability to resolve customer issues remotely, which we believe will reduce ongoing service costs
and increase the ease of supporting our customer base.
We also continue to implement enhancements to every customer touch point. We continue to train and incent our employees to provide high-quality service
through prompt handling of calls and quick and effective resolution of customer issues. We intend to continue making ongoing improvements to enhance the
customer experience, offer more options for customer self-service, including via the Internet, and create opportunities for field employees to meet our customers
and hear directly how we impact customers' lives. We believe our emphasis on customer value drives customer satisfaction and tenure, decreasing customer
attrition and improving our profitability.
Invest in growth platforms, including in segments in which ADT has low market share, as well as in underpenetrated and new segments.
We believe we have significant opportunity to increase our share of the monitored security and premises automation market for small businesses. We intend
to grow our share of small business customers by expanding our small business field sales force, which currently represents only about one third of our overall
direct field sales force. We plan to strengthen our small business marketing support to this enhanced sales force by building a larger, more robust partner network
to improve our lead generation capabilities and by assisting in marketing additional value-added services, including ADT Pulse.
Additionally, we believe monitored security and home/business automation services are underpenetrated in North American households. Based on internal
and external market research studies, we estimate current monitored electronic security penetration to be approximately 19% of U.S. households, significantly
lower than other home services such as video and Internet that are in 60-85% of households. We intend to increase penetration of residential security and home
automation services through the development of new solutions and enhanced offerings that attract new customers to enter the market. In addition, through our
efficient operating model and potentially lower technology costs over time, we believe we can significantly reduce the cost of basic installation and services,
opening up the potential for a much larger portion of households to purchase monitored security and home automation services.
We also intend to explore other adjacent markets that leverage our existing assets and core competencies. Where appropriate, we will supplement our
organic growth efforts with bolt-on acquisitions, leveraging the expertise we have developed in effectively integrating acquired businesses.

Risk Factors
We face numerous risks related to, among other things, our business operations, our strategies, general economic conditions, competitive dynamics in our
industry, the legal and regulatory environment in which we operate, our Separation from Tyco and our status as an independent public company. These risks are set
forth in detail under the heading "Risk Factors." If any of these risks should materialize, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows. We encourage you to review these risk factors carefully. Furthermore, this prospectus contains forward-looking
statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a
result of many factors, including but not limited to those under the headings "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements".
Recent Developments
On March 26, 2013, the Company was informed that its Principal Financial Officer, Kathryn Mikells, will resign as Senior Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer of the Company, effective May 2, 2013, in order to become the Chief Financial Officer at Xerox Corporation.

The Exchange Offer
We are offering to issue registered New Notes in exchange for a like principal amount and like

New Notes to satisfy our obligations under a registration rights agreement that we entered into with

Outstanding Notes for exchange by following the procedures described in the section entitled "The
Exchange Offer" elsewhere in this prospectus.

The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 29, 2013, which is 21
business days after the exchange offer is commenced, unless we extend it. If you decide to exchange
your Outstanding Notes for New Notes, you must acknowledge that you are not engaging in, and do
not intend to engage in, a distribution of the New Notes. You may withdraw any Outstanding Notes
that you tender for exchange at any time prior to the expiration of the exchange offer. If we decide for
any reason not to accept any Outstanding Notes you have tendered for exchange, those Outstanding
Notes will be returned to you without cost promptly after the expiration or termination of the
exchange offer. See "The Exchange Offer--Terms of the Exchange Offer" for a more complete
description of the tender and withdrawal provisions.

Conditions to the Exchange Offer
The exchange offer is subject to customary conditions, some of which we may waive. See "The
Exchange Offer--Conditions to the Exchange Offer" for a description of the conditions. The
exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum principal amount of Outstanding Notes being

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
Your exchange of Outstanding Notes for New Notes to be issued in the exchange offer will not result
in any gain or loss to you for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For additional information, see
"Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations." You should consult your own tax advisor as to
the tax consequences to you of the exchange offer, as well as tax consequences of the ownership and
disposition of the New Notes.

Use of Proceeds
We will not receive any cash proceeds from the exchange offer.

Exchange Agent
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association

Consequences of Failure to Exchange your Outstanding
Outstanding Notes that are not tendered or that are tendered but not accepted will continue to be
Notes
subject to the restrictions on transfer that are described in the legend on those notes. In general, you
may offer or sell your Outstanding Notes only if they are registered under, or offered or sold under an
exemption from, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Except in limited
circumstances with respect to specific types of holders of Outstanding Notes, we will have no further
obligation to register the Outstanding Notes. If you do not participate in the exchange offer, the
liquidity of your Outstanding Notes could be adversely affected. See "The Exchange Offer--
Consequences of Failure to Exchange Outstanding Notes."

Consequences of Exchanging your Outstanding Notes
Based on interpretations of the staff of the SEC, we believe that you may offer for resale, resell or
otherwise transfer the New Notes that we issue in the exchange offer without complying with the
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act if you:

· acquire the New Notes issued in the exchange offer in the ordinary course of your business;

· are not participating, do not intend to participate, and have no arrangement or undertaking with

anyone to participate, in the distribution of the New Notes issued to you in the exchange offer;
and

· are not an "affiliate" of ADT as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act.

If any of these conditions is not satisfied and you transfer any New Notes issued to you in the
exchange offer without delivering a proper prospectus or without qualifying for a registration

exemption, you may incur liability under the Securities Act. We will not be responsible for or
indemnify you against any liability you may incur.

Any broker-dealer that acquires New Notes in the exchange offer for its own account in exchange for
Outstanding Notes which it acquired through market-making or other trading activities must

acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus when it resells or transfers any New Notes issued in
the exchange offer. See "Plan of Distribution" for a description of the prospectus delivery
obligations of broker-dealers in the exchange offer.
