HONEYWELL ACQUIRES FIRE SENTRY CORPORATION

Acquisition Expands Honeywell’s Gas, Smoke, Fire and Controller Products Portfolio

Jan 05, 2012 - MINNEAPOLIS – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced today that it has acquired Fire
Sentry Corporation, a privately-held manufacturer of innovative fire detection and control products for a
broad range of industrial markets. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Based in Yorba Linda, California, Fire Sentry’s product portfolio consists of fast-responding electro-optical
flame detectors, portable test lamps and dedicated control panels that are used by customers in industrial
settings such as petrochemical, semiconductor, paint booth/finishing, automobile airbags and munitions
plants. Fire Sentry’s products are designed to ensure rapid, accurate, and reliable detection of both
hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon fires within a single device.

The acquisition will help Honeywell significantly expand its gas and flame detection, and monitoring
solutions and builds on the company’s acquisitions of System Sensor in 1984 and Zellweger Analytics in
2005 among other important acquisitions in the gas detection arena. The company will be integrated into
Honeywell Life Safety and will extend significant synergies in distribution channels, vertical end-markets
and global end-users.

“This acquisition will further strengthen Honeywell’s leadership position in the gas detection space by
enhancing our competitive gas and flame offering and bolstering our cross-selling opportunities across
the globe,” said Mark Levy, president and CEO of Honeywell Life Safety. “Fire Sentry has a 30-year
history of proven fire and flame detection innovation and more than 100,000 units installed worldwide in a
wide array of industrial settings. This is a great fit for our Life Safety business and deeply complements
our technology advances in gas detection which include an impressive number of technological firsts.”

Fire Sentry’s smart electro-optical radiant energy multi-spectrum and multi-spectral flame detectors and
associated products greatly reduce false alarms thanks to its innovative use of patented algorithms.
