The former Tyco used an inversion in 1997 when buying ADT. That's how it got incorporated in Bermuda.

en.m.wikipedia.org

In July 1997, Tyco merged by reverse takeover with smaller publicly traded security services company named ADT Limited, controlled by Lord Ashcroft. Upon consummation of the merger, Tyco International Ltd. of Massachusetts became a wholly owned subsidiary of ADT Limited, and simultaneously ADT changed its name to Tyco International Ltd., retaining the former Tyco stock symbol, TYC. The merger moved Tyco’s incorporation to Bermuda, where it was headquartered in the colonial capital of Hamilton. A new subsidiary named ADT Security Services was also formed out of the merger.[ citation needed]

Some of the Tyco pieces are

COV
TE Connectivity, somewhere in Mexico (not traded on a U.S. exchange)
Tyco International (TYC)
CIT
MTSI
ADT (a recent spinoff)
