See pg. 27 of our Proxy Statement for details.

SHORT TERM INCENTIVE PLAN Fundamental inputs used internally to measure profitability, business liquidity and rates of return for the business Appropriate measure of the strength and sustainability of our business model and driver of long-term, sustainable stockholder value Targets are aligned with annual operating plan approved by the Board The Compensation and Leadership Committee (the “Committee”) assesses each NEO’s individual performance and accomplishments that contribute to execution of our overall strategy Delivered record revenue, operating earnings and free cash flow Successfully completed strategic transactions Recorded accelerating, record backlog growth Onboarded over 2,000 new employees STIP Targets Set through a Rigorous Process The Committee follows a rigorous process to determine the range of performance for each measure of the STIP Targets are reviewed annually and determined based on prior year financial results, market share, projected revenue growth, margins and operating expenditures and other macroeconomic and industry considerations The operating earnings and free cash flow targets and performance ranges aligned with 2017’s operating plan approved by the Board at the beginning of the year In 2017, operating earnings and free cash flow targets were 5% and 11% higher, respectively, than 2016 targets and 9% and 15% higher, respectively, than 2016 actual results Business Performance Factor (Payout Range: 0 - 1.4x) Individual Performance Factor (Payout Range: 0 - 1.4x) Operating Earnings (65%) Measures our profits from sales Free Cash Flow (35%) Measures the cash available after capital expenditures 2017 Results and Payouts Overseeing strategic acquisitions Refreshing talent Launching innovative products or strategies Implementing operational improvements Making impactful leadership changes Driving significant shareholder returns 6 Individual Performance Factor Resulted in 1.4x modifier Business Performance Factor Resulted in target funding

100% performance-based program demonstrates compensation is tied closely with Company performance LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN The Committee determines the total LTI value with reference to market levels through benchmarking completed by our independent consultant, Compensation Advisory Partners The Committee determined the CEO’s target LTI should be increased to: Incentivize continued reinvention of our software and services business to generate outsized growth Conduct strategic transactions in conjunction with this strategy, and Maintain and further develop strong leadership team to deliver operational and financial results 2015 – 2017 TSR was 52.5% over the 3-year period Resulted in 68th percentile rank in S&P 500 comparator group Equated to 150% of target under 2015-2017 LRIP and POs Incentivizes executives to aim for outperformance vs. S&P 500 comparator companies The Committee chose to benchmark against the S&P 500 because the diversity and global nature of the companies that compose the index reflect the complexity of MSI’s own diverse technology business The Committee reserves discretion to reduce LRIP pay-out in the event TSR is negative 2017 Results and Payouts Market Stock Units (1/3) Performance Stock Options (1/3) Long Range Incentive Plan (1/3) Relative Total Shareholder Return Rewards creation of long-term shareholder value through stock price appreciation and encourages outperformance compared to peers Absolute Total Shareholder Return Rewards creation of long-term shareholder value through stock price appreciation Encourages focus on financial and operational metrics that drive our growth in ways that result in long-term value creation for stockholders Promotes achievement of the highest, sustainable stock price 7 LRIP and POs require performance exceeding the group median before target payout is earned LTI Determined in Relation to Peers

USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES In addition to the GAAP results provided during this event, Motorola Solutions has provided certain non-GAAP measurements. Motorola Solutions has provided these non-GAAP measurements as a measure to help investors better understand its core operating performance, enhance comparisons of Motorola Solutions’ core operating performance from period-to-period and to allow better comparisons of Motorola Solutions’ operating performance to that of its competitors. Among other things, the Company’s management uses these operating results, excluding the identified items, to evaluate the performance of its businesses and to evaluate results relative to incentive compensation targets. Management uses operating results excluding these items because they believe this measure enables them to make better period-to-period evaluations of the financial performance of its core business operations. There are inherent limitations in the use of operating results excluding these items because the company’s GAAP results include the impact of these items. The non-GAAP measures are intended only as a supplement to the comparable GAAP measures and the Company compensates for the limitations inherent in the use of non-GAAP measures by using GAAP measures in conjunction with the non-GAAP measures. As a result, investors should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not in substitution for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Details of these items and reconciliations of the non-GAAP measurements provided during this presentation to GAAP measurements can be found in the Appendix to this presentation and on Motorola Solutions’ website at www.motorolasolutions.com/investor MOTOROLA, MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS and the Stylized M Logo are trademarks or registered trademarks of Motorola Trademark Holdings, LLC and are used under license.

Slide 12

USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES “Free Cash Flow” and “Operating Earnings” are non-GAAP measures and should not be considered replacements for results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. The primary limitation of these measures is that they exclude the financial impact of items that would otherwise either increase or decrease our reported results. This limitation is best addressed by using these non-GAAP measures in combination with the most directly comparable GAAP measures in order to better understand the amounts, character and impact of any increase or decrease in reported amounts. The following provides additional information regarding these non-GAAP measures: Free Cash Flow – net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, as adjusted for a tax benefit from an anticipated US Pension contribution for the 2017 tax year and monetization of a long term receivable accelerated into 2017. We believe Free Cash Flow provides useful information to investors as it provides insight into the primary cash flow metric used by management to monitor and evaluate cash flows generated from our operations. This measure is also used as a component of incentive compensation. Operating Earnings – operating earnings adjusted for stock based compensation expenses, reorganization charges, intangibles amortization expenses, and other highlighted items. We believe Operating Earnings provides useful information to investors as it provides insight into the primary earnings metric used by management to monitor and evaluate earnings generated from our operations. This measure is also used as a component of incentive compensation.

As a result of the highlighted items identified during Q4 2017, the Company reported a net loss from continuing operations for the three months and year ended December 31, 2017 within our GAAP Consolidated Statement of Operations, while reporting income on a non-GAAP basis over the same periods. An adjustment is reflected to correct for the dilution of 7.2 million dilutive shares outstanding in Q4 2017 and 6.4 million dilutive shares outstanding for the full of 2017.
