our Enterprise business operating segment, including our iDEN infrastructure business, will be excluded from the transaction. In addition, we will
retain certain corporate and general costs that have historically been allocated to the Enterprise business after the transaction.

Denominations
Each of the notes will be represented by one or more global securities registered in the name of a nominee of The Depository Trust
Company, or DTC.

You will hold beneficial interests in the notes through DTC, and DTC and its direct and indirect participants will record your
beneficial interests in their books. We will not issue certificated notes, except in the limited circumstances described under
"Description of Debt Securities--Global Securities" in the accompanying prospectus.

Further Issuances
We may create and issue additional notes ranking equally with the notes initially offered in this offering and otherwise similar in all
respects (other than the issue date and, if applicable, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such further notes or
the first payment of interest following the issue date of such further notes). These additional notes, if issued, would be consolidated
and form a single series with the notes. See "Description of the Notes--Further Issuances" in this prospectus supplement.

Absence of

assurance as to the development or liquidity of any market for the notes. The underwriters have advised us that they currently intend
to make a market in the notes. However, they are not obligated to do so, and any market making with respect to the notes may be
discontinued at any time without notice.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in the notes involves risk. We are subject to various regulatory, operating and other risks as a result of the nature of our operations and
the marketplace in which we operate. Many of these risks are beyond our control and several pose significant challenges to our business, operations,
revenues, net income and cash flows. These risks are described in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2013 and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 29, 2014 and June 28, 2014. The risks described therein are
not the only ones we face. Additional risks of which we are not presently aware or that we currently believe are immaterial may also harm our
business. In deciding whether to invest in the notes, you should carefully consider these risks and the risks described below in addition to the other
information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. Our business, results of
operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected due to any of these risks or events arising therefrom.
Risks Related to the Notes
Because the notes are not secured and are effectively subordinated to the rights of secured creditors, the notes will be subject to the prior claims of
any secured creditors, and if a default occurs, we may not have sufficient funds to fulfill our obligations under the notes.
The notes are unsecured obligations, ranking equally with other senior unsecured indebtedness. Although we currently only have immaterial
amounts of secured indebtedness at the foreign subsidiary level, the indenture governing the notes permits us to incur secured debt under specified
circumstances. If we incur secured debt, our assets will be subject to prior claims by our secured creditors. In the event of bankruptcy, insolvency,
liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding up of Motorola Solutions, assets that secure debt will be available to pay obligations on the
notes only after all debt secured by those assets has been repaid in full. Holders of the notes will participate in any remaining assets ratably with all of
their respective unsecured and unsubordinated creditors, including trade creditors. If Motorola Solutions incurs any additional obligations that rank
equally with the notes, including trade payables, the holders of those obligations will be entitled to share ratably with the holders of the notes in any
proceeds distributed upon our bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding up. This may have the effect of reducing
the amount of proceeds paid to you. If there are not sufficient assets remaining to pay all these creditors, all or a portion of the notes then outstanding
would remain unpaid.
We may depend on the receipt of dividends or other intercompany transfers from our subsidiaries to meet our obligations under the notes. Claims of
creditors of our subsidiaries will have priority over your claims with respect to the assets and earnings of our subsidiaries.
The notes are our obligations exclusively and not of any of our subsidiaries. We conduct a significant portion of our operations through our
subsidiaries. We may therefore be dependent upon dividends or other intercompany transfers of funds from our subsidiaries in order to meet our
obligations under the notes and to meet our other obligations. However, our subsidiaries are separate legal entities that have no obligation to pay any
amounts due under the notes or to make any funds available therefor, whether by dividends, loans or other payments. Generally, creditors of our
subsidiaries will have claims to the assets and earnings of our subsidiaries that are superior to the claims of our creditors, except to the extent the claims
of our creditors are guaranteed by our subsidiaries. As of June 28, 2014, our subsidiaries accounted for approximately $5.2 billion, or 44%, of our total
consolidated assets including assets held for sale but excluding intercompany balances, and had approximately $2.2 billion of outstanding liabilities,
including trade payables and liabilities held for sale but excluding intercompany liabilities.
S-7
Table of Contents
In the event of the bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding up of Motorola Solutions, the holders of the
notes will not receive any amounts with respect to the notes until after the payment in full of the claims of creditors of our subsidiaries.
We are permitted to incur more debt, which may intensify the risks associated with our current leverage, including the risk that we will be unable to
service our debt.
The indenture governing the notes does not limit the amount of additional debt that we may incur. If we incur additional debt, the risks associated
with our leverage, including the risk that we will be unable to service our debt, will increase.
The provisions in the indenture that govern the notes relating to change of control transactions will not necessarily protect you in the event of a
highly leveraged transaction.
The provisions contained in the indenture will not necessarily afford you protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction that may
adversely affect you, including a reorganization, restructuring, merger or other similar transaction involving us. These transactions may not involve a
change in voting power or beneficial ownership or, even if they do, may not involve a change of the magnitude required under the definition of change

of control repurchase event to trigger these provisions, notably, that the transactions are accompanied or followed within 90 days by a downgrade in the
rating of the notes offered under this prospectus supplement. Except as described under "Description of the Notes--Purchase of Notes upon a Change of
Control Repurchase Event," the indenture does not contain provisions that permit the holders of the notes to require us to repurchase the notes in the
event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.
We may not be able to repurchase all of the notes upon a change of control repurchase event.
As described under "Description of the Notes--Purchase of Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event," we will be required to offer to
repurchase the notes upon the occurrence of a change of control repurchase event. We may not have sufficient funds to repurchase the notes in cash at
such time or have the ability to arrange necessary financing on acceptable terms. In addition, our ability to repurchase the notes for cash may be limited
by law or the terms of other agreements relating to our indebtedness outstanding at the time.
Negative covenants in the indenture will have a limited effect.
The indenture governing the notes contains negative covenants that apply to us and our domestic subsidiaries. These covenants are, however,
subject to a number of significant exceptions that will permit us, in various circumstances, to create liens on our assets and to enter into sale and
leaseback transactions. See "Description of the Notes--Restrictive Covenants" in this prospectus supplement. Holders of the notes may become
structurally or contractually subordinated to new lenders who enter into transactions with us or our domestic subsidiaries in reliance on these
exceptions.
There is no prior market for the notes. If one develops, it may not be liquid.
We do not intend to list the notes on any national securities exchange or to seek their quotation on any automated dealer quotation system. We
cannot assure you that any liquid market for the notes will ever develop or be maintained. Further, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any
market that may develop for the notes, your ability to sell your notes or the price at which you will be able to sell your notes. Future trading prices of
the notes will depend on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, our financial condition and results of operations, the then-current ratings
assigned to the
S-8

notes and the market for similar securities. Any trading market that develops would be affected by many factors independent of and in addition to the
foregoing, including:
·
time remaining to the maturity of the notes;
·
outstanding amount of the notes;
·
the terms related to optional redemption of the notes; and
·
level, direction and volatility of market interest rates generally.
The underwriters have advised us that they currently intend to make a market in the notes following the offering. However, the underwriters have
no obligation to make a market in the notes and they may stop at any time without notice.
Ratings of the notes may change after issuance and affect the market price and marketability of the notes.
We currently expect that, prior to issuance, the notes will be rated by Moody's Investors Service Inc., Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings Inc. Such
ratings are limited in scope, and do not address all material risks relating to an investment in the notes, but rather reflect only the view of each rating
agency at the time the rating is issued. An explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained from such rating agency. Such credit ratings
may not be issued or remain in effect for any given period of time or such ratings may be lowered, suspended or withdrawn entirely by the rating
agencies, if, in each rating agency's judgment, circumstances so warrant. It is also possible that such ratings may be lowered in connection with future
events, such as future acquisitions. Any lowering, suspension or withdrawal of such ratings, or the announcement that such ratings are under review for
a possible downgrade may have an adverse effect on the market price or marketability of the notes.

Amount does not reflect a charge that will be recorded upon the redemption of our 6.0% senior notes due 2017 relating to the "make-whole"
redemption premium and other expenses that will be incurred upon repaying these notes prior to their scheduled maturity. Based upon present
market conditions, we currently estimate this premium and the related expenses to be approximately $59 million on a pre-tax basis. The final
amount of this charge will depend upon the yield of the reference treasury used to calculate the redemption premium immediately prior to the
redemption date.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
Selected provisions of the notes are summarized below. Because the notes are being issued under a new indenture, this summary replaces the
description of the debt securities under the caption "Description of Debt Securities" in the accompanying prospectus. References in this section to
"Motorola Solutions," "us," "our" and "we" are, unless the context otherwise requires, only to Motorola Solutions, Inc. and not to any of its subsidiaries.
The notes will be issued under an indenture to be entered into on or about August 19, 2014 (the "indenture") between Motorola Solutions and The
Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the "trustee"). The following summary of provisions of the indenture and the notes does
not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the indenture, including definitions
