EXHIBIT 99.1
STATEMENT UNDER OATH OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER REGARDING FACTS AND
CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO EXCHANGE ACT FILINGS
I, Richard F. Syron, state and attest that:
(1) To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered reports
of Thermo Electron Corporation, and, except as corrected or supplemented in a
subsequent covered report:
o no covered report contained an untrue statement of a material fact as
of the end of the period covered by such report (or in the case of a
report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of the date on
which it was filed); and
o no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements in the covered report, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading as of the end of the period
covered by such report (or in the case of a report on Form 8-K or
definitive proxy materials, as of the date on which it was filed).
(2) I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the Company's audit
committee.
(3) In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or
before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":
o Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 29, 2001 of
Thermo Electron Corporation;
o all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all definitive
proxy materials of Thermo Electron Corporation filed with the
Commission subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K identified above;
and
o any amendments to any of the foregoing.
Subscribed and sworn to
