Item 8.01. Other Events.
On September 11, 2009, Johnson Controls, Inc.

The offer was scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on September 17, 2009. Settlement of the Corporate Units exchange offer will occur on September 30, 2009 after payment of the quarterly cash distributions on the Equity Units for the period ended September 30, 2009 has been made to persons that were holders of record of the Equity Units as of September 15, 2009. As a result, there will be no payment for accrued distributions for any period prior to September 30, 2009 associated with the Corporate Units exchange.
The Company is not extending its offer to exchange its 6.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2012, which will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on September 17, 2009, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Company.
