Ms. Deily and Mr. Hollick did not receive a Restricted Stock Unit award in 2021 as a result of their retirement from the Board prior to the grant date. (4)The amounts set forth in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of option awards computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Option awards of 1,411 shares were made to non-employee directors in May 2021 with a Black-Scholes value of $35.44 per share. A more detailed discussion of the assumptions used in the valuation of option awards made in fiscal year 2021 may be found in Note 15 of the Notes to the Financial Statements in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Ms. Deily and Mr. Hollick did not receive a stock option award in 2021 as a result of their retirement from the Board prior to the grant date. (5)Amounts included in this column reflect above-market earnings on deferred compensation from pre-2006 deferrals. Amounts invested in cash under the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors are credited with the same rate of interest that applies to executives under the Honeywell Salary and Incentive Award Deferral Plan for Selected Employees. Deferrals for the 2006 plan year and later earn a rate of interest, compounded daily, based on the Company’s 15-year cost of borrowing. This rate is subject to change annually and was 1.74% for 2021. Deferrals for the 2005 plan year earn a rate of interest, compounded daily, which was set at an above-market rate before the beginning of the plan year and is subject to change annually. Deferrals for the 2004 plan year and prior plan years earn a rate of interest, compounded daily, that was set at an above-market rate before the beginning of each plan year. This rate is fixed until the deferral is distributed. (6)Includes amounts described in “Charitable Match” and “Other Benefits” above and a $25,000 charitable donation made in Gen. Odierno's name upon his death. (7)Ms. Deily and Mr. Hollick retired from the Board in 2021. Gen. Odierno passed away in 2021. STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES
COMPENSATION UPON ELECTION TO BOARD
| Director stock ownership guidelines have been adopted under which each non-employee director, while serving as a director of Honeywell, must hold common stock (including shares held personally, RSUs, and/or common stock equivalents) with a market value of at least five times the annual cash retainer (or $500,000). Directors have five years from election to the Board to attain the prescribed ownership threshold. All current directors (other than Ms. Flint who joined the Board in October 2019 and Ms. Lee who joined the Board in January 2022) have attained the prescribed ownership threshold. In addition, directors must hold net gain shares from option exercises for one year. “Net gain shares” means the number of shares obtained by exercising the option, less the number of shares the director sells to cover the exercise price of the options and pay applicable taxes. | On average, Honeywell non-employee directors held, as of December 31, 2021, common stock with a market value of 43x the annual cash retainer, reflecting their deep commitment to shareowner value creation. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
| WHAT WE DO | WHAT WE DON’T DO | | Pay for Performance. We closely align pay and performance, with a significant portion of target total direct compensation at-risk. The Management Development and Compensation Committee (MDCC) validates this alignment annually and ensures performance-based compensation represents a significant portion of executive compensation. Robust Performance Goals. We establish clear and measurable goals and targets and hold our executives accountable for achieving specified levels to earn a payout under our incentive plans. We use different sets of operational metrics for the annual cash incentive plan (ICP) and performance-based long-term incentives (LTI) to drive top and bottom-line growth over multiple time frames, aligned with sustained long-term performance. Clawback Practices. We maintain a policy that allows for recoupment of incentive compensation in the event of misconduct and a significant financial restatement or if an executive leaves the Company to join a competitor. Double Trigger in the Event of a Change in Control (CIC). We have double trigger vesting on equity and severance for CIC; executives will not receive cash severance nor will equity vest in the event of a CIC unless accompanied by qualifying termination of employment. Maximum Payout Caps for Incentive Plans. ICP and Performance Plan payouts are capped. Robust Stock Ownership Requirements. We require executive officers to hold meaningful amounts of stock and require them to hold net shares for one year from exercise or vesting. Options Granted at Fair Market Value (FMV). Annual stock options awarded to all executives (including the NEOs) are approved by the MDCC on the same day, with an exercise price no less than the fair market value of Honeywell's common stock on the date of grant. Independent Compensation Consultant. The MDCC retains an independent compensation consultant to review and advise the MDCC on executive compensation matters. The independent consultant attends all MDCC meetings. | No Excessive Perks. We do not provide perquisites except in cases where there is a compelling business or security reason, nor do we provide tax gross-ups for officers, other than in connection with a Company-required relocation. No Guaranteed Annual Salary Increases or Bonuses. Annual salary increases are based on evaluations of individual performance and the competitive market. In addition, we do not provide guarantees on bonus payouts. No Hedging or Pledging. We do not allow hedging or pledging of our stock. No Excise Tax Gross-Ups and No Accelerated Bonus Payments Upon a CIC. Excise tax gross-ups have been eliminated for all executive officers. Plans provide that ICP awards earned in the year of a CIC would be paid at the time they would typically be paid based on business performance rather than at target. No Incentivizing of Short-Term Results to the Detriment of Long-Term Goals and Results. Pay mix is heavily weighted toward long-term incentives aligned with the interests of shareowners. No Excessive Risks. Compensation practices are appropriately structured and avoid incentivizing employees to engage in excessive risk-taking. No Options Repricing. We prohibit repricing (reduction in exercise price or exchange for cash or other consideration) or reloading of stock options. No Consultant Conflicts. Under the MDCC’s established policy, the compensation consultant cannot provide any other services to Honeywell without the MDCC’s approval. Regular independence reviews are conducted. |
PHILOSOPHY AND APPROACH
PHILOSOPHY AND APPROACH Honeywell’s executive compensation program creates long-term shareowner value through four key objectives: •Attract and Retain World-Class Leadership Talent with the skills and experience necessary to develop and execute business strategies, drive superior financial results, and nimbly adapt and react to constantly evolving end-market conditions in an enterprise with the Company’s scale, breadth, complexity, and global footprint. •Emphasize Variable, At-Risk Compensation with an appropriate balance of near-term and long-term objectives that align executive and shareowner interests. •Pay for Superior Results and Sustainable Growth by rewarding and differentiating among executives based on the achievement of enterprise, business unit, and individual objectives as well as efforts to advance Honeywell’s long-term growth initiatives. •Manage Risk Through Oversight and Compensation Program Design Features and Practices that balance short-term and long-term incentives, are not overly leveraged, and cap maximum payments. Decision-making over executive compensation rests with the MDCC, which holds five regularly scheduled meetings each year (six meetings held in 2021). Specific topics may be covered in a separate meeting from time to time. Each meeting includes an executive session comprised solely of independent directors, and those meetings are attended by the MDCC’s independent compensation consultant. Meeting agendas contain items proposed by either management or the MDCC members. In carrying out its responsibilities, the MDCC balances a number of important considerations, including: •The importance of aligning pay with Company and individual performance. •The need to attract, retain, and reward executives with a proven track record of delivering consistent financial and operating results and driving “seed-planting” initiatives that will create sustainable long-term shareowner value. •The complex multi-industry and global nature of Honeywell’s businesses and the importance of growth outside of the United States for future success. •The importance of maintaining and executing on a thorough and rigorous succession planning process. Key factors that shape the MDCC’s overall assessment of performance and appropriate levels of compensation include: •Operational and financial performance for the entire corporation and the relevant business units. •Aggressiveness of each executive’s financial and operating goals and targets. •Business/macroeconomic conditions impacting the industries in which Honeywell’s businesses operate. •Execution against strategic initiatives and the impact of investments that will benefit financial performance in future years. •Each executive’s long-term leadership potential and associated retention risk. •The senior executive development and succession plan. •Total shareowner return (TSR). •Trends and best practices in executive compensation. •Peer group comparisons, including performance, pay levels, and related practices. The MDCC reviews these factors over various time periods to ensure a strong linkage between pay and performance. At each of its meetings, the MDCC reviews four-year NEO compensation history for each element of total annual direct compensation, as well as projected payments under Honeywell’s retirement and deferred compensation plans, to provide historical context and an understanding of how current compensation decisions may affect future wealth accumulation and executive retention. On an annual basis, the MDCC reviews information provided by its independent compensation consultant regarding compensation paid to similarly situated executive officers at Compensation Peer Group companies as a point of reference. Similarly, third-party survey data or published reports may be utilized as a general indicator of relevant market conditions. The MDCC does not target a specific competitive position relative to the market in making its compensation determinations. Honeywell’s senior executives are recognized as industry leaders with backgrounds, depth of experience, and management skills that are highly attractive to competitors. The MDCC prefers to address critical retention and succession risks through the existing compensation program. When appropriate, however, the MDCC may approve other compensation actions or program adjustments that it believes are in the best interest of the Company and its shareowners to ensure the appropriate alignment of pay with performance, strengthen the succession plan, and guard against the loss of key talent.

COMPENSATION PEER GROUP
COMPENSATION PEER GROUP To ensure appropriate levels of executive officer compensation and the alignment of pay and performance, the MDCC believes it is important to understand how Honeywell compares to other relevant companies. As such, the MDCC reviews executive officer compensation, and assesses Honeywell’s financial performance, against a group of 16 companies that are considered Honeywell’s “Compensation Peer Group.” In addition, the MDCC periodically reviews relative financial performance against a subset of companies with complex multi-industry characteristics, like Honeywell, or relevant indices. The companies selected by the MDCC for inclusion in the Compensation Peer Group have one or more of the following attributes: •Business operations in the industries and markets in which Honeywell participates. •Similar breadth of portfolio and complexity. •Global scope of operations and/or diversified product lines. •Within reasonable range of sales and/or market capitalization. •Demonstrated competitor for executive talent. The MDCC reviews the appropriateness of the Compensation Peer Group companies on an annual basis and discusses whether any changes are necessary. After making a number of changes in 2020, the MDCC did not make any changes to the Compensation Peer Group companies for 2021. The following table lists relevant comparative information for the Compensation Peer Group companies for 2021:

THREE-YEAR CUMULATIVE GROWTH The MDCC also reviews Honeywell’s performance relative to the Compensation Peer Group over multi-year time periods. The following graphs show the Company’s performance versus the median of the Compensation Peer Group for four key metrics over the three-year period ending in 2021 that the MDCC reviewed.
PERFORMANCE RELATIVE TO PEERS
THREE-YEAR AVERAGE RETURN The MDCC also carefully considers several different ratios that are important measures of Honeywell’s earnings performance compared to the Compensation Peer Group median. Shareowners have told the Company that they regard ROIC as a particularly important metric because it shows how well management is balancing delivery of short-term results against long-term sustainable growth. Honeywell’s three-year average ROIC was 14.9%, which outperformed the Compensation Peer Group median.

TOTAL LTI VALUE
TOTAL LTI VALUE For 2021 LTI awards to the NEOs, the MDCC (or, in the case of Mr. Adamczyk, the independent members of the full Board) determined a total annual LTI (Total LTI) value to be awarded and then allocated the award between PSUs, RSUs, and stock options based on the mix proportions described above. Each of the three elements and the respective values awarded to each NEO are described in detail below. In determining the Total LTI value to be awarded to each NEO, factors that were considered included: •The relative value of long-term incentive awards granted to comparable named executive officers at the Compensation Peer Group companies. •Scope of responsibilities and complexity of the organization (absolute and relative to the Compensation Peer Group companies). •The senior executive development and succession plan. •The value of LTI awards granted in prior years. •Each NEO’s leadership impact and expected future contribution toward the overall success of Honeywell.
PERFORMANCE STOCK UNITS
PERFORMANCE STOCK UNITS 2021-2023 PERFORMANCE PLAN AWARDS Under the 2021-2023 Performance Plan, a target number of PSUs was issued to each NEO on March 15, 2021 for the performance period of January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023, representing 50% of their total annual LTI value and mix. The actual number of PSUs earned by each NEO for the 2021-2023 cycle will be determined at the end of the period based on Company performance as measured by the following four equally-weighted performance metrics:

For the Corporate NEOs, awards are earned based on performance against the Total Honeywell goals stated above. For the Business Unit NEOs, the financial goals portion of the award (75% of the award value, at target) is based on a mix of performance against the Total Honeywell goals and goals set for their respective business unit (mix shown below). Like the Corporate NEOs, the Business Unit NEOs have 25% of their award based on performance against the three-year Relative TSR metric noted above. If a NEO transfers between business units during the performance period, the final payout is prorated based on the number of days spent in each respective business unit during the three years covered by the award.

Business Unit NEOs
(1)All officer PSUs awarded on March 15, 2021. (2)The grant date unit value for awards made on March 15, 2021 of $212.53 was determined based on the fair market value of Honeywell stock on the date of grant of $214.85 for the three internal financial metrics, and a value of $205.57 for the Relative TSR metric, based on a multifactor Monte Carlo simulation conducted by an independent valuation service provider. At the end of the performance period, the total number of PSUs earned for each NEO shall be determined on a formulaic basis. Dividend equivalents applied during the vesting period as additional PSUs will be adjusted based on the final number of PSUs earned. In determining the final distributions of earned awards, 50% of the resulting PSUs earned will be converted to shares of Company common stock and issued to each NEO, subject to the holding period requirements for officers. The remaining 50% shall be converted to cash based on the fair market value of a share of Honeywell stock on the last day of the performance period and paid to each NEO in the first quarter following the end of the performance period.

2020-2022 PERFORMANCE PLAN As fully discussed in Honeywell's 2021 Proxy Statement, on March 15, 2021, the MDCC approved an adjustment to the three financial metrics under the 2020-2022 Performance Plan due to the extraordinary impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which rendered the original financial targets unattainable within months of them being set in February 2020. This change was necessary to correct a misalignment between the pay opportunity and the range of performance reasonably attainable for this cycle. No changes were made to the original three-year Relative TSR goal. The recast financial targets were fully disclosed in the 2021 proxy statement. Coincident with this change, the upside total payout opportunity for this performance cycle was reduced by 40%. This action was reviewed with shareowners during 2021 outreach meetings and broadly viewed as appropriate under the circumstances, with recognition that adverse pandemic-related impacts on incentive plans were not unique to Honeywell and that thoughtful recalibrations were appropriate in industries hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. In arriving at this decision in the first quarter of 2021, the MDCC took into consideration management’s response and efforts to mitigate pandemic impacts in 2020 by quickly implementing cost controls (such as no merit increases in 2020 and 10% salary reductions from March 31, 2020 through November 1, 2020.) and pivoting to new opportunities aimed at positioning the Company for post-pandemic growth and shareowner value creation, which resulted in a total shareowner return of 23% for 2020. Consideration was also given to the fact that the 2018-2020 performance cycle and 2020 ICP awards were paid out without adjustment, despite being significantly adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The MDCC also determined that this change was in alignment with the experience of both shareowners and employees in 2020. Since the pandemic-driven low of $103.86 on March 23, 2020, Honeywell’s stock price appreciated 105% to $212.70 as of December 31, 2020. The adjustment approach used for the NEOs was also extended to the cash-based performance units issued to other executive and management-level employees of the Company in 2020. While the original grant date value of the 2020-2022 PSU awards issued in February 2020 to the NEOs was already reported as 2020 compensation on the Summary Compensation Table included in the Company's 2021 proxy statement (except for Ms. Dallara and Mr. Madsen, who were not NEOs in 2020), and no new awards were made, the aforementioned adjustment to the financial metrics is considered an award modification that gives rise to incremental reportable compensation in the year the modification was made under SEC rules. As such, the calculated incremental fair value of the 2020-2022 PSU award modification to the NEOs, determined as of March 15, 2021, is included as incremental 2021 compensation in the Stock Awards column of the Summary Compensation Table and in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table in this proxy statement as follows:
Business Unit NEOs

Business Unit NEOs
| 2019-2021 SUMMARY | | •Three-year cumulative Shareowner return of 55.9% (61st percentile vs. relevant Compensation Peer Group) •Financial metric attainment impacted by COVID-19 (three-year growth goals set pre-pandemic) •MDCC approved 2019-2021 PSU payout = 87% of target (CEO and Corporate officers) |
Business Unit NEOs
In February 2019, Performance Plan awards for a three-year performance period of January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021 were granted to executive officers in the form of Performance Stock Units (PSUs). This applied to all NEOs except Mr. Madsen, who was not an executive officer in February 2019. Three-year performance goals were established for cumulative revenue, average segment margin rate, average return on investment (ROI) and TSR relative to the 2019 Compensation Peer Group. Each of these goals was equally weighted (25% each). The target performance levels were established before the COVID-19 pandemic as follows: 3.1% compound annual revenue growth, 80 basis points of segment margin expansion, and 140 basis points of ROI expansion. Goals were developed for each of the three years, with the first year aligned to the midpoint of external guidance, and growth rates for the second and third years in the cycle aligned with Honeywell’s long-range plan. Target performance levels were aimed at driving year-over-year growth and meaningful improvements in Honeywell operations over the three-year period. By the fourth quarter of 2020, it became clear that the 2019-2021 financial metrics were heavily and adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially cumulative revenue and ROI, which were all but certain to fall below threshold levels. Projections at that time suggested that it may not be possible to offset the downward drag of pandemic-related 2020 results on the three-year cumulative goals, despite strong performance in 2019. In contrast, the three-year Relative TSR metric was tracking above target, in tandem and alignment with the shareowner experience. Since the 2019-2021 PSU performance period was nearly two-thirds completed, the plan-basis Relative TSR metric was tracking above target, and there was increasing optimism regarding the post-pandemic business conditions, the MDCC took a conservative approach and continued monitoring performance through the end of the cycle before making any decision. Throughout 2021, the MDCC was provided with, and studied, updates on the 2019-2021 Performance Plan at its February, March, September, and December 2021 meetings. The MDCC conducted rigorous due diligence in considering how to address the following external and internal factors: •The impact of the extended duration of the pandemic and unprecedented global supply chain issues. •Three-year TSR performance for shareowners both on an absolute basis and relative to the Compensation Peer Group. •Heightened human capital risks brought on by intensifying competition for talent. •Incentive plan adjustments disclosed by companies within the Fortune 100. •Honeywell executive-level retention and turnover information as compared to prior years. •Holistic view of compensation actions over the three-year period and the degree of impact from the pandemic.
PSU Formulaic Calculation
PSU Formulaic Calculation In February 2022, the MDCC reviewed the outcomes for the 2019-2021 executive officer PSUs, determined as of December 31, 2021, calculated without taking into consideration the unusual and extraordinary impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The following table displays the formulaic 2019-2021 PSU calculation payout results:

Payout Decision
Payout Decision In February 2022, the MDCC reviewed and assessed the overall formulaic PSU calculation for the 2019-2021 PSU cycle for the NEOs that received them. The MDCC noted that the unusual and extraordinary adverse impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in zero or low payouts on the three original financial metrics (e.g., 0% for Corporate three-year Cumulative Revenue and three-year Average ROI) that did not adequately or appropriately reflect the performance of the Company over the period and management’s performance and response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The minimal calculated payouts for the three financial metrics were also not in tandem with the shareowner experience, as Honeywell’s Relative TSR for the three-year period ranked above the median of our peer group companies, at the 61st percentile. In response, the MDCC discussed several alternatives for the 2019-2021 PSUs to better align pay with performance. Alternatives discussed included: (i) adjusting the goals or measurement against them by quantifying the impacts of the pandemic on the original targets; (ii) basing the payout purely on Relative TSR; (iii) aligning the PSU payouts with the payouts determined under the 2019-2021 performance cash units to non-officer executives for the same time period, or (iv) modifying the weighting applied in the calculation to each of the four original three-year goals. The Committee also discussed making no changes and allowing the misaligned payouts to occur. Upon fully assessing and evaluating performance and risks for the full 2019-2021 performance period, in February 2022 the MDCC exercised its authority under the plan to make an appropriate adjustment to the weighting applied to the metrics under the plan for only this 2019-2021 cycle. The original financial goals remained in the calculation to preserve the integrity of the program, but their weighting was reduced from 75% to 50%, to recognize that the pandemic impacts were not contemplated when the goals were originally established, and that the results were adversely and materially impacted by global market forces. The weight applied to the three-year Relative TSR goal was increased from 25% to 50%, to better align with the shareowner experience. The MDCC determined that the payouts based on this approach better reflected leadership performance and long-term actions taken over the measurement period, as well as the investor experience, while still resulting in a below target payout for this unprecedented and challenging performance period. The MDCC also recognized that this was the last overlapping cycle to be severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and that regular compensation program awards made in 2021, as discussed earlier in this Proxy Statement, reflect the restoration of the ‘normal state’ executive compensation program structure and design elements that shareowners have overwhelmingly supported since being fully implemented in 2018.

Payout Decision
The payout percentage for HCE (Ms. Dallara) differed from the Corporate NEOs as the financial metrics portion of her award was based on performance against both Total Honeywell metrics and metrics established for the HCE business unit. Detailed metrics for the HCE business unit are not disclosed because we have determined that such information involves confidential commercial and financial information, the disclosure of which would result in competitive harm for Honeywell.
2019-2021 PSU Payouts (Messrs. Adamczyk and Lewis and Mses. Madden and Dallara)
2019-2021 PSU Payouts (Messrs. Adamczyk and Lewis and Mses. Madden and Dallara) Based on the final approved award payout percentages for the 2019-2021 performance period for those NEOs who received their 2019-2021 Performance Plan award in the form of PSUs, the MDCC approved the following individual awards to the NEOs:
2019-2021 PSU Payouts (Messrs. Adamczyk and Lewis and Mses. Madden and Dallara)
| NEO | 2019-2021 PSUs at Target (1) | Total Payout % | Total 2019-2021 PSUs Earned | | Mr. Adamczyk | 43,640 | 87% | 37,967 | | Mr. Lewis | 11,595 | 87% | 10,088 | | Ms. Madden | 11,595 | 87% | 10,088 | | Ms. Dallara | 8,855 | 99% | 8,766 |
2019-2021 PSU Payouts (Messrs. Adamczyk and Lewis and Mses. Madden and Dallara)
(1)Includes additional PSUs from dividend equivalents. Earned awards became fully vested on February 26, 2022. 50% of the PSUs earned were converted to shares of Honeywell common stock, with the net shares paid subject to an additional one-year holding period, in accordance with the officer stock ownership guidelines. The remaining 50% was converted to cash based on the closing stock price of Honeywell common stock on December 31, 2021 and paid in March 2022.
2019-2021 Performance Cash Unit Payouts (Mr. Madsen only)
2019-2021 Performance Cash Unit Payouts (Mr. Madsen only) In February 2022, the MDCC also reviewed the calculated outcomes for the 2019-2021 Performance Plan Cash Units (PCUs) issued to 490 non-officer executives in 2019 (which included Mr. Madsen, who was a non-officer at the time of grant). The following summarizes the structure of the 2019-2021 PCU awards, which was different from the officer PSUs described above:
2019-2021 Performance Cash Unit Payouts (Mr. Madsen only)
| Eligible Participants | •Non-Officers (Executives) | | Form of Award | •PCUs denominated at $100 per unit and settled in cash | | Mix of Goals | •Equally weighted between Total Honeywell and Business Unit goals (50% Total Honeywell and 50% Aerospace) | | Measurement and Goal Weighting | •Measurement for three, single years, 2019, 2020 and 2021*, with the total payout factor equal to the average of the three years. Cash payout is delayed to the end of the 3 years. For each year, 100% weight on financial metrics with 33.3% weight on each of three Corporate goals: –1-Year Cumulative Revenue (for each of 2019, 2020, and 2021) –1-Year Average Segment Margin Rate (for each of 2019, 2020, and 2021) –1-Year Average ROI (for each of 2019, 2020, and 2021) | | Payout Cap | •120% of target | | Stock Performance Goal | •Not applicable |

(1)Results for AERO executives based 50% on performance against Total Honeywell targets and 50% on performance against Aerospace targets. (2)Consistent with goal setting parameters, revenue was adjusted to exclude the impact of corporate transactions and fluctuations in foreign currency. Segment margin was adjusted to exclude the impact of corporate transactions. ROI was adjusted to exclude the impact of corporate transactions and the impact of pension income and asset fluctuations. Based on the final approved award payout percentage for non-officer Aerospace executives who received a 2019-2021 Performance Plan award in the form of performance cash units, the following individual award was earned by Mr. Madsen:
2019-2021 Performance Cash Unit Payouts (Mr. Madsen only)
| NEO | 2019-2021 Performance Cash Units at Target | Value Per Unit | Total Earned Award % | Total 2019-2021 Performance Cash Award Earned | | Mr. Madsen | 5,110 | $100 | 100% | $511,000 |
2019-2021 Performance Cash Unit Payouts (Mr. Madsen only)
The earned award for Mr. Madsen became fully vested on February 26, 2022 and was paid in cash in March 2022. In accordance with SEC disclosure requirements for cash-based awards, 100% of the earned cash award for Mr. Madsen for the 2019-2021 performance period is included as 2021 Non-Equity Incentive Compensation on the Summary Compensation Table, even though originally granted in 2019. The MDCC considered this 2019-2021 cash unit award as part of Mr. Madsen's 2019 total annual direct compensation (in the year it was granted), which differs from how it is reported on the Summary Compensation Table. Mr. Madsen became an Executive Officer in October 2019, and he has received PSU awards since then.
STOCK OPTIONS
STOCK OPTIONS Stock options granted to the NEOs in February 2021 represented 35% of their total annual LTI value and mix. The MDCC believes that stock options continue to be an important element for focusing executives on actions that drive long-term stock appreciation that is directly aligned with the interests of our shareowners. Stock options granted to Mr. Adamczyk and all the Other NEOs vest 25% per year over four years and have a 10-year term to exercise. The strike price for the 2021 annual stock options is $202.72, which was the fair market value of Honeywell stock on the date of grant (February 12, 2021).

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS
NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS Honeywell executives (including the NEOs) may choose to participate in certain nonqualified deferred compensation plans to permit retirement savings in a tax-efficient manner. Executives can elect to defer up to 100% of their annual ICP awards. In addition, executives may also participate in the Honeywell Supplemental Savings Plan to defer base salary that cannot be contributed to the Company’s 401(k) savings plan due to IRS limitations. These amounts are matched by the Company only to the extent required to make up for a shortfall in the available match under the 401(k) savings plan due to IRS limitations. Deferred compensation balances earn interest at a fixed rate based on the Company’s 15-year cost of borrowing, which is subject to change on an annual basis (1.74% for 2021). Matching contributions are treated as if invested in Company common stock. These plans are explained in more detail on page 87.
BENEFITS AND PERQUISITES
| Clawback policies which provide the ability to recoup performance-based incentive awards (both equity and cash-based awards) in the event of misconduct and a restatement of Company financial results.

GRANTS OF PLAN-BASED AWARDS—FISCAL YEAR 2021
(1)Award Type: ICP = Incentive Compensation Plan (for 2021 performance year, paid in 2022) NQSO = Nonqualified Stock Option PSU21-23 = 2021-2023 Performance Stock Unit (regular annual award) RSU = Restricted Stock Unit PSU20-22 = 2020-2022 Performance Stock Unit (modification) (2)Represents the minimum level of performance that must be achieved for any amount to be payable. (3)The amount in the Target column represents the number of PSUs awarded to the Named Executive Officer in 2021 under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan for the performance period of January 1, 2021 - December 31, 2023. Actual earned PSU awards may range from 0% to 200% based on performance against plan metrics over the three-year performance period. Awards vest 100% in February 2024. 50% of the total number of PSUs earned will be converted to, and paid in, cash. 50% of the earned PSUs will be paid in shares subject to a minimum one-year holding period. (4)Represents the number of RSUs awarded to the Named Executive Officer in 2021 under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan. These RSUs vest in three installments; 33% on each of the second and fourth anniversaries of the grant date and 34% on the sixth anniversary of the grant date. (5)NQSO awards in this column represent the number of annual stock options awarded to the Named Executive Officers on the Grant Date. These stock options vest in equal annual installments over a period of four years and have a ten-year term. The exercise price is equal to the fair market value of Honeywell stock on the date of grant. (6)The grant date fair value of each NQSO in this column was $32.10, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, using the Black-Scholes option valuation model at the time of grant. A more detailed discussion of the assumptions used in the valuation of stock option awards may be found in Note 15 of the Notes to the Financial Statements in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The grant date fair value of each RSU was $202.72 based on the fair market value of Honeywell stock on the grant date. The grant date fair value for each PSU21-23 was $212.53, determined based on the fair market value of Honeywell stock on the date of grant (March 15, 2021) of $214.85 for the three internal financial metrics, and a value of $205.57 for the Relative TSR metric. The value for each PSU20-22 represents the incremental fair value of the 2020-2022 PSUs, that were originally granted on February 14, 2020 and modified on March 15, 2021, of $127.80 per PSU, computed as of the modification date in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN-BASED AWARDS All NQSO, PSU, and RSU awards granted to the Named Executive Officers in fiscal year 2021 were granted under the Company’s 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and are governed by and subject to the terms and conditions of the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the relevant award agreements.

PENSION BENEFITS
PENSION BENEFITS The following table provides summary information about the pension benefits that have been earned by the Company’s Named Executive Officers under two pension plans, the Honeywell International Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) and the Honeywell International Inc. Retirement Earnings Plan (REP).

Pension Benefits—Fiscal Year 2021
(1)The present value of the accumulated retirement benefit for each Named Executive Officer is calculated using a 2.87% discount rate, the projected PRI-2012 mortality table, and with a retirement of age 62 for Mr. Madsen and age 65 for the other Named Executive Officers (the earliest ages at which the Named Executive Officer can retire without an early retirement benefit reduction). The SERP and REP benefits depend on the length of each Named Executive Officer’s employment with Honeywell (and companies that have been acquired by Honeywell). This information is provided in the table above under the column titled “Number of Years of Credited Service.” The column in the table above titled “Present Value of Accumulated Benefits” represents a financial calculation that estimates the cash value today of the full pension benefit that has been earned by each Named Executive Officer. It is based on various assumptions, including assumptions about how long each Named Executive Officer will live and future interest rates. Additional details about the pension benefits for each Named Executive Officer include: •The REP is a tax-qualified pension plan in which a significant portion of Honeywell’s U.S. employees participate. •The REP complies with tax requirements applicable to broad-based pension plans, which impose dollar limits on the amount of benefits that can be provided. As a result, the pensions that can be paid under the REP for higher-paid employees represent a much smaller fraction of current income than the pensions that can be paid to less highly paid employees. We make up for this difference, in part, by providing supplemental pensions through the SERP. •All SERP benefits will be paid on the first day of the first month that begins following the 105th day after the later of the officer’s separation from service (as that term is defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 409A) or his or her earliest retirement date. •Ms. Dallara does not participate in the REP or the SERP and is not eligible to receive a pension benefit from Honeywell.

Pension Benefits—Fiscal Year 2021
PENSION BENEFIT CALCULATION FORMULAS Within the REP and the SERP, a variety of formulas are used to determine pension benefits. Different benefit formulas apply for different groups of employees for historical reasons. Generally, as Honeywell has grown through acquisitions, the Company has in many cases retained the benefit formulas under pension plans that were maintained by the companies acquired, in order to provide continuity for employees. The differences in the benefit formulas for our Named Executive Officers reflect this history. The explanation below describes the formulas that are used to determine the amount of pension benefits for each of the Company’s Named Executive Officers (NEOs) under the REP and the SERP.
Pension Benefits—Fiscal Year 2021
| Name of Formula | Benefit Calculation | | REP | •Lump sum equal to (1) 6% of final average compensation (annual average compensation for the five calendar years out of the previous 10 calendar years that produces highest average) times (2) credited service. | | ALLIED SALARIED | •Single life annuity equal to (1)(A) 2% of final average compensation (average of compensation for the 60 consecutive months out of prior 120 months that produces highest average) times (B) credited service (up to 25 years), minus (2) 64% of estimated Social Security benefits. The final average compensation component of the formula was frozen and no amounts earned or paid after December 31, 2015 will be included, except that the annual incentive compensation paid in 2016 will be included in 2015 compensation. | | SIGNAL | •Single life annuity equal to (1)(A) 1.5% of final average compensation (average of compensation for the 60 consecutive months out of the last 120 that produces the highest average) times (B) credited service (with no limit on service) minus (2)(A) 1.5% of estimated Social Security times (B) credited service up to 33 1/3 years. The final average compensation component of the formula was frozen and no amounts earned or paid after December 31, 2015 will be included, except that the annual incentive compensation paid in 2016 will be included in 2015 compensation. |
Pension Benefits—Fiscal Year 2021
For each pension benefit calculation formula listed in the chart above, compensation includes base pay, short-term incentive compensation, payroll-based rewards and recognition and lump sum incentives. Calculations for pension formulas other than the REP formula include the annual incentive compensation in the year earned. The REP formula includes annual incentive compensation in the year paid. The amount of compensation taken into account under the REP is limited by tax rules, but the amount of compensation taken into account under the SERP is not. The 2015 compensation change described above also applies to the compensation taken into account under the SERP. The benefit formulas above describe the pension benefits in terms of a lump sum cash payment (for the REP formula) or a single life annuity (for the other formulas). Participants are entitled to receive their benefits in other payment forms, including, for example joint and survivor annuities, period certain annuities and level income payments. However, the value of each available payment form is the same. Based on SERP terms, Mr. Madsen will receive his SERP benefits in the form of a lump sum. The Allied Salaried formula also provides for early retirement benefits. A participant is eligible for early retirement if the participant's age and years of service equal or exceed 60 and the participant has attached age 50 with at least five years of service or if the participant's age and years of service equal or exceed 80 regardless of the participant's age. If the participant retires early, the participant's benefit at normal retirement age is reduced by 1/4 of 1% for each month payments begin before age 62 (3% per year). In addition, the Social Security benefit reduction portion of the formula is reduced by 1/180 for each month benefits are paid between ages 60 and 65, and 1/360 for each month benefits are paid before the participant's 60th birthday. As stated above, the pension formula used to determine the amount of pension benefits under each of the plans for our NEOs differs for historical reasons. The table below describes which formulas are applicable to each of our NEOs.
Pension Benefits—Fiscal Year 2021
| Name/Formula | Description of Total Pension Benefits | | Darius Adamczyk Total pension benefit = REP formula benefits | •Mr. Adamczyk’s pension benefits under the REP and the SERP are determined under the REP formula, with the SERP benefit calculated using all his Honeywell employment as credited service. | | Gregory P. Lewis Total pension benefit = REP formula benefits | •Mr. Lewis’ pension benefits under the REP and the SERP are determined under the REP formula. | | Anne T. Madden Total pension benefit = REP formula benefits | •Ms. Madden’s pension benefits under the REP and the SERP are determined under the REP formula. | | Michael R. Madsen Total pension benefit = Allied Salaried formula benefits | •Mr. Madsen is currently eligible for early retirement benefits payable under the Allied Salaried formula. Due to subsidized early retirement, the value of his benefit payable on December 31, 2021 exceeds the benefit shown in the table above by $749,413. A portion of Mr. Madsen's pension benefits under the REP and a portion of his SERP benefits are determined under the Signal formula. These amounts are part of, not in addition to, his Allied Salaried formula benefits. |

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION—FISCAL YEAR 2021
NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION—FISCAL YEAR 2021 Honeywell limits deferred compensation amounts owed to executives by having the interest rate accruing on deferrals under the Honeywell Excess Benefit Plan and Honeywell Supplemental Savings Plan (the SS Plan) and the Honeywell Deferred Incentive Plan (the DIC Plan) be a rate that changes annually based on the Company’s 15-year cost of borrowing and requiring payment of the SS Plan or DIC Plan deferrals to begin shortly after termination of employment in a lump sum unless the participant leaves the Company after reaching retirement (age 55 with 10 years of service). In addition, cash dividend equivalents on vested deferred RSUs cannot be deferred and dividend equivalents on unvested RSUs are reinvested in additional RSUs and subject to the same vesting schedule as the underlying RSUs.

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION—FISCAL YEAR 2021
All deferred compensation amounts, regardless of the plan, are unfunded and unsecured obligations of the Company and are subject to the same risks as any of the Company’s general obligations. (1)For SS Plan deferrals, the Company matching contributions are credited annually no later than the following January 31st if the Named Executive Officer was actively employed or on a disability leave of absence as of December 15th. The value of registrant contributions in the last fiscal year for the SS Plan includes annual matching contributions that were credited to the Named Executive Officers in January 2022 for the 2021 year. (2)The value of executive contributions in the last fiscal year is calculated by multiplying the number of deferred RSUs that vested in 2021 by the closing price of a share of common stock on the vesting date (or the next business day following the vesting date). The value of the aggregate balance at the last fiscal year is calculated by multiplying the total number of vested, deferred RSUs on December 31, 2021, by the closing price of a share of common stock on December 31, 2021 ($208.51). This column reflects the following: 34,716 units including dividend reinvestment units and $445,628 in cash for Ms. Madden. (3)The following table details the extent to which amounts reported in the contributions and earnings columns are reported in the Summary Compensation Table and amounts reported in the aggregate balance column were reported in the Summary Compensation Table for previous years. In the table above, for the SS Plan, the Aggregate Earnings in Last FY column includes interest credits and changes in the value of the Company Common Stock Fund. The value of the Company Common Stock Fund increases or decreases in accordance with the Company’s stock price and the reinvestment of dividends. In the table above, for the deferred RSUs, the Aggregate Earnings in Last FY column includes dividend equivalent credits and any increase (or decrease) in the Company’s stock price.

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION—FISCAL YEAR 2021
HONEYWELL EXCESS BENEFIT PLAN AND HONEYWELL SUPPLEMENTAL SAVINGS PLAN The Supplemental Savings Plan allows Honeywell executives, including the Named Executive Officers, to defer the portion of their annual base salary that cannot be contributed to the Company’s tax-qualified 401(k) plan due to the annual deferral and compensation limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code and/or up to an additional 25% of base annual salary for the plan year. To the extent amounts have not already been matched on a similar basis under the Company’s 401(k) plan, Honeywell matched deferrals posted to the SS Plan at the rate of 87.5% on the first 8% of eligible pay. Matching contributions are always vested and are credited on an annual basis if the participant was actively employed or on a disability leave of absence as of December 15, 2021. Interest Rate. Participant deferrals for the 2005 plan year and later are credited with a rate of interest, compounded daily, based on the Company’s 15-year cost of borrowing. The rate is subject to change annually, and for 2021, this rate was 1.74%. Participant deferrals for the 2004 plan year and earlier are credited with a rate of interest, compounded daily, that was set by the Management Development and Compensation Committee (MDCC) before the beginning of each plan year and is fixed until the deferral is distributed. Prior to the 2005 plan year, the MDCC would set the rate at an above-market rate to retain executives. Above-market interest credited on SS Plan deferrals and reflected in the Summary Compensation Table on page 78 includes the difference between market interest rates determined by SEC rules and the interest credited under the SS Plan. Matching contributions are treated as invested in common stock. Dividends are treated as reinvested in additional shares of common stock. Distribution. Amounts deferred for the 2005 plan year and later will be distributed in a lump sum in January of the year following the termination of the participant’s active employment. For the 2020 plan year and later, a participant can elect to receive five, 10 or 15 installments in lieu of the lump sum payment, which election will take effect only if the participant terminates employment after reaching age 55 with 10 years of service; for the 2006 to 2019 plan years, a participant could elect up to ten installments under the same terms. Except in hardship circumstances, amounts deferred for the 2004 plan year and earlier will be distributed either in January of any subsequent year or in January of the year following termination of employment, as elected by the participant. The participant could elect to receive distributions in a lump sum or up to 15 annual installments. Participant deferrals to the SS Plan are distributed in cash only. Matching contributions are distributed in shares of common stock. Amounts deferred for the 2005 plan year and later cannot be withdrawn before the distribution date for any reason. Amounts deferred for the 2004 plan year and earlier may be withdrawn before the distribution date if a hardship exists or the participant requests an immediate withdrawal subject to a penalty of 6%. HONEYWELL SALARY AND INCENTIVE AWARD DEFERRAL PLAN FOR SELECTED EMPLOYEES The Honeywell DIC Plan allows Honeywell executives, including the Named Executive Officers, to defer all or a portion of their annual cash incentive compensation. Interest Rate. Beginning in 2005, deferrals are credited with a rate of interest, based on Honeywell’s 15-year borrowing rate which is set annually at the beginning of the year (1.74% for 2021). Amounts deferred for the 2004 plan year and earlier are credited with a rate of interest, compounded daily, that was set by the MDCC before the beginning of each plan year and is fixed until the deferral is distributed. Prior to the 2005 plan year, the MDCC would set the total rate at an above-market rate to retain executives. Above-market interest credited on DIC Plan deferrals and reflected in the Summary Compensation Table on page 78 includes the difference between market interest rates determined by SEC rules and the interest credited under the DIC Plan. Distribution. Amounts deferred for the 2006 plan year and later will be distributed in a lump sum in January of the year following the termination of the participant’s active employment. For the 2020 plan year and later, a participant can elect to receive five, 10 or 15 installments in lieu of the lump sum payment, which election will take effect only if the participant terminates employment after reaching age 55 with 10 years of service; for the 2006 to 2019 plan years, a participant could elect up to 10 installments under the same terms. Except in hardship circumstances (if permitted), amounts deferred for the 2005 plan year and earlier will be distributed either in January of any year three years after the compensation was earned or in January of the year following termination of the participant’s employment, as elected by the participant. The participant could elect to receive non-hardship distributions in a lump sum or up to 15 annual installments.

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION—FISCAL YEAR 2021
Amounts deferred for the 2002 plan year and later cannot be withdrawn before the distribution date for any reason. Amounts deferred for the 2001 plan year and earlier may be withdrawn before the distribution date if a hardship exists or the participant requests an immediate withdrawal subject to a penalty that ranges from 0% to 6% and that is based on the 10-year Treasury bond rate at the beginning of the calendar quarter. DEFERRAL OF RSUs The Named Executive Officers may defer the receipt of up to 100% of certain RSUs upon vesting based on an election made at the time of grant. The executive may defer payment to: •A specific year after the vesting year; or •The year following the executive’s termination of active employment. The executive can also choose to receive payment in a lump sum or up to 15 annual installments and can also elect at the time of grant to accelerate the form and timing of payment following a change in control to a lump sum paid no later than 90 days following the change in control. Cash dividend equivalents on deferred RSUs (determined at the same rate as a regular share of common stock) are converted to additional deferred RSUs as of the dividend payment date and are subject to the same payment schedule and restrictions as the underlying deferred RSUs. For grants made before July 2004, an executive could also defer dividend equivalents in cash and such amounts are credited with interest at a 10% rate, compounded daily, until payment. The practice of deferring dividend equivalents in cash ended in July 2004. Ms. Madden is the only NEO with legacy deferred RSU awards under these prior provisions. Above-market interest related to Ms. Madden's deferred RSU dividend equivalents is included on the Summary Compensation Table as the difference between market interest rates determined by SEC rules and the 10% interest credited by the Company on her pre-July 2004 grants, the terms of which cannot be amended. UNVESTED DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS Cash dividend equivalents on unvested RSUs (determined at the same rate as a regular share of common stock) are converted to additional unvested RSUs as of the dividend payment date and are subject to the same vesting schedule and restrictions as the underlying RSUs. The terms of the SERP Plan, the SS Plan, the DIC Plan, the deferred RSUs and the unvested dividend equivalents are subject to the requirements of, and regulations and guidance published by, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL This section describes the benefits payable to our named executive officers (NEOs) in two circumstances: •Termination of Employment •Change in Control (CIC) SENIOR SEVERANCE PLAN These benefits are determined primarily under a plan that we refer to as our Senior Severance Plan. In addition to the Senior Severance Plan, other of our benefits plans, such as our annual incentive compensation plan, also have provisions that impact these benefits. These benefits ensure that our executives are motivated primarily by the needs of the businesses for which they are responsible, rather than circumstances that are outside the ordinary course of business, i.e., circumstances that might lead to the termination of an executive’s employment or that might lead to a CIC of the Company. Generally, this is achieved by assuring our NEOs that they will receive a level of continued compensation if their employment is adversely affected in these circumstances, subject to certain conditions. We believe that these benefits help ensure that affected executives act in the best interests of our shareowners, even if such actions are otherwise contrary to their personal interests. This is critical because these are circumstances in which the actions of our NEOs may have a material impact upon our shareowners. Accordingly, we set the level and terms of these benefits in a way that we believe is necessary to obtain the desired results. The level of benefit and the rights to benefits are determined by the type of termination event, as described below. We believe that these benefits are generally in line with current market practices and are particularly important as we do not maintain employment agreements with our NEOs. Benefits provided under the Senior Severance Plan are conditioned on the executive executing a full release of claims and certain non-competition and non-solicitation covenants in favor of the Company. The right to continued severance benefits under the plan ceases in the event of a violation of such covenants. In addition, we would seek to recover severance benefits already paid to any executive who violates such restrictive covenants.

In the case of a CIC, severance benefits are payable only if both parts of the “double trigger” are satisfied. That is, (i) there must be a CIC of our Company, and (ii)(A) the NEO must be involuntarily terminated other than for cause, or (ii)(B) the NEO must initiate the termination of his own employment for good reason. Similarly, the Company also amended its stock incentive plan in 2014 to eliminate automatic single-trigger vesting of all new equity and Performance Plan Unit awards that are rolled-over upon a CIC. SUMMARY OF BENEFITS—TERMINATION EVENTS The following table summarizes the termination of employment and CIC benefits payable to our NEOs. None of these termination benefits are payable to NEOs who voluntarily resign (other than voluntary resignations for good reason after a CIC) or whose employment is terminated by us for cause. The information in the table below assumes, in each case, that termination of employment occurred on December 31, 2021. Pension and non-qualified deferred compensation benefits, which are described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, are not included in the table below in accordance with applicable SEC rules, even though they may become payable upon the occurrence of the events specified in the table. The effect of a termination of employment or CIC on outstanding stock options, RSUs and PSUs is described in the section below entitled “Impact on Equity-Based Awards.”

PCUs are paid out on a pro rata basis upon death or disability. As the 2019-2021 PCU performance cycle has already concluded, any payout would be the full amount earned based on actual performance. | •Upon a CIC, unvested PCUs remain outstanding to the extent assumed by the successor. Following a CIC, unvested PCUs would vest on a pro rata basis in the event of an involuntary termination other than for cause or a voluntary termination for good reason, within 2 years of the CIC event. For a performance cycle that has already concluded, payout would be based on actual performance. For a performance cycle in progress, the prorated payout would be based on target performance. The “Change in Control-Termination of Employment” column includes the full payout for the 2019-2021 performance cycle for Mr. Madsen. |

NO EXCISE TAX GROSS-UPS U.S. tax laws may impose an excise tax on employees who receive benefits in connection with a CIC in certain circumstances and subject to certain conditions. The company does not provide for excise tax gross-ups. IMPACT ON EQUITY-BASED AWARDS This section describes the impact of a termination of employment or a CIC on outstanding stock options, RSUs and Performance Plan Stock Units (PSUs) held by our NEOs. Additional information about these awards is included in the Outstanding Equity Awards Table on page 81 of this Proxy Statement. The table below shows the in-the-money value of outstanding unvested stock options, RSUs, PSUs and PCUs held by our NEOs as of December 31, 2021, based on the closing price of a share of common stock as reported on the Nasdaq on that date ($208.51). These awards are scheduled to vest and to expire on various dates in the future. As described below, the vesting of these awards will be accelerated upon death, disability or a qualifying termination of employment following a CIC. Equity awards do not automatically vest upon a CIC to the extent assumed or replaced by the successor in the transaction. In addition, stock options will remain outstanding for different periods depending on the circumstances. The value to a NEO of these provisions depends on the vesting period and remaining terms of the awards.

TERMINATION OR CIC IMPACT ON OUTSTANDING AWARDS Treatment of outstanding stock plan awards following termination of employment depends on the plan under which the awards were granted, as follows:
POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL
| Plan | Treatment of Stock Options, RSUs, PSUs and PCUs | | 2011 Stock Incentive Plan of Honeywell International Inc. and its Affiliates | •RSUs become vested in full upon death or disability. •Following termination of employment, unless otherwise agreed by the Company pursuant to the terms of the plan, participants (or their beneficiaries) have until the earlier of the original expiration date or the following period in which to exercise vested options: –Three (3) years in the event of death, disability or a voluntary or involuntary termination (other than for cause) after qualifying for “early retirement” (age 55 and 10 years of service) or “full retirement” (age 60 and 10 years of service); –One (1) year in the case of any other involuntary termination without cause; and –Thirty (30) days in the case of a voluntary termination. •These rules are hereinafter referred to as the “2011 Stock Plan Exercise Rules.” •Unvested stock options and RSUs do not automatically vest upon a CIC if rolled over or replaced by the successor. Following a CIC, vesting shall only occur if a participant’s employment is terminated, either by the successor without cause or by the participant for good reason (that is, “double trigger” vesting), within two years following a CIC. These rules are hereinafter referred to as the “Double Trigger CIC Rules”. | | 2016 Stock Incentive Plan of Honeywell International Inc. and its Affiliates | •The Double Trigger CIC Rules apply to unvested stock options and RSUs under this plan. Double trigger vesting also applies to PSUs awarded under this plan where the awards are rolled over or replaced by the successor, with vesting on a pro rata basis at target for incomplete performance periods, and based on the actual earned award for completed performance cycles, and paid within 90 days of a participant’s termination of employment, either by the successor without cause or by the participant for good reason (that is, “double trigger” vesting), within two years following a CIC. RSU and PSU awards that are not rolled over or replaced by the successor vest immediately upon the CIC. •The 2011 Stock Plan Exercise Rules apply to vested stock options under this plan. In the case of Ms. Dallara, the Company agreed that her vested options will expire on the first anniversary of the effective date of her resignation. •There is no acceleration of vesting of awards upon reaching retirement age. Unvested RSUs and a prorated amount of a PSU award are paid upon a termination due to death or disability. Unvested stock options vest upon a termination due to death or disability. |

CEO PAY RATIO As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of the individual identified as our median paid employee and the annual total compensation of Mr. Darius Adamczyk, our Chairman and CEO. To identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, and to determine the annual total compensation of the “median employee”, the methodology and the material assumptions, adjustments and estimates we used were as follows: •For purposes of the 2021 pay ratio disclosure, Honeywell identified a new median employee using our global employee population as of October 31, 2021 (Determination Date). We selected October 31 as the Determination Date, as it was a date within the last three months of 2021, and would allow sufficient time to gather the information to identify the median employee given the global scope of our operations. •Before applying the “De Minimis Exemption” adjustment permitted under SEC rules (described below), our global population consisted of approximately 120,063 individuals

| Total U.S. Employees (1) | 54,192 | | Total non-U.S. Employees | 65,871 (no exclusions) | | Total Global Workforce | 120,063 |

(1)Total U.S. Employees includes Sandia National Laboratories and Kansas City National Security Campus workforces, which are U.S. Department of Energy facilities managed by Honeywell as a contract operator. We applied the De Minimis Exemption adjustment to exclude a total of 5,212 employees located in jurisdictions outside the U.S. Such employees represent less than five percent of our Total Global Workforce. The countries and approximate number of Honeywell employees excluded were: Argentina (225), Azerbaijan (3), Bangladesh (2), Belarus (2), Egypt (93), Hungary (300), Indonesia (134), Jordan (14), Morocco (119), Pakistan (4), Peru (39), Philippines (165), Poland (735), Russian Federation (767), Slovakia (859), Thailand (552), Tunisia (951), Turkey (211), Ukraine (35), and Uzbekistan (2).

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL
To identify the median employee from our employee population, we collected actual base salary and incentive awards paid during the 12-month period ending on the Determination Date. As permitted under SEC rules, we annualized the compensation of all newly hired permanent employees during this period. Using this methodology, our median employee was determined to be a full-time employee based in the United States. The annual total compensation for our median employee in calendar 2021, our last completed fiscal year, was $75,529, calculated in accordance with the rules applicable to the Summary Compensation Table (SCT) of this proxy statement. The annual compensation for our median employee includes $9,474 in Company-paid healthcare benefits. For 2021, the annual total compensation of the CEO for purposes of determining the CEO Pay Ratio was $26,106,477, which is $6,357 higher than the amount shown in the SCT because of the inclusion of Company-paid healthcare benefits, which are not reflected on the SCT in accordance with SEC rules. Based on this information, for 2021, the ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Adamczyk, our CEO, to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was estimated to be 346 to 1. The pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records and the methodology described above. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As such, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported here, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.
