Force Majeure Update on the COVID-19 Situation TE Connectivity - Wört, Germany

Dear Madam or Sir, 
We would like to provide you with an update to our prior Force Majeure notifications. 

The COVID-19 pandemic is increasing the disease numbers across Europe. The new mutations of the COVID-19 are causing significantly higher numbers of infections, which negatively impact our production capability. TE Connectivity implemented in line with local government rules and regulations and early stage internal protective measures aimed at avoiding the risks of employee infection. Measures included working in home office wherever it is possible and reducing personal contacts for those who must continue to work in our plants to keep our operation running. 

Despite the above described efforts to mitigate any negative impacts, the number of infected colleagues is increasing. Today, the public health office responsible for our plant in Wört, Germany, advised that due to a COVID-19 outbreak, including the new mutation, amongst our employees in Wört, our stamping department needs to remain partly closed for at least 14 days. Moreover, a number of close contacts of an infected employee must immediately be self-quarantined. This directive from the public  health authority will cause a delay in shipments from this region. 

We would like to point out that the disruptions caused by the order of the public health authority represent an event of Force Majeure beyond our control. TE Connectivity explicitly rejects any liability for potential claims or damages in connection with this Force Majeure event. Therefore, all prior Force Majeure notifications and subsequent updates continues to remain in full force and effect. 

We thank you for your understanding.  

Yours sincerely, 

Andrzej Zubka 
Senior Director of Sales – ICT
