PHILOSOPHY AND APPROACH
•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 is proud to be broadly recognized for training and developing leaders whose skills are recognized, respected, and valued across the sectors in which we compete. Our senior executives are 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 whenever possible.
COMPENSATION PRACTICES AND POLICIES
| 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 MDCC validates this alignment annually and ensures that performance-based compensation represents a significant portion of executive compensation. Ambitious 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 a varied set of operational metrics for the annual incentive compensation 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 Policy. We maintain clawback policies that meet, and in certain areas are broader than, SEC and Nasdaq standards. The policies allow for the recoupment of incentive compensation in the event of a restatement of financial results. We have a standalone Clawback Policy that is consistent with Rule 10D-1 of the Exchange Act and the Nasdaq listing rules, and we also maintain the policy that our Board previously adopted as a secondary recoupment mechanism. 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 to hold net shares for one year from vesting. Unvested performance stock units do not count toward the ownership requirement. Options Granted at Fair Market Value (FMV). Annual stock options are approved by the MDCC, 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 ensure that the overall compensation program remains externally competitive. 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. |

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. On an annual basis, the MDCC reviews information provided by its independent compensation consultant regarding compensation paid to similarly situated executive officers at a group of companies that are considered Honeywell’s “Compensation Peer Group” and assesses Honeywell’s financial performance against these companies. Although the MDCC does not target a specific competitive position relative to its comparator group, this information provides the MDCC (and the independent directors of the full Board in the case of the CEO) a point of reference when making its compensation determinations with respect to the NEOs. 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 2024 Compensation Peer Group have one or more of the following attributes: •Business operations with similar scope and complexity to Honeywell. •Industrial companies with technology drivers. •Peer group overlap with potential peer (e.g., peer of peer). •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. No changes were made to the Compensation Peer Group in 2024. The following table lists the Compensation Peer Group companies for 2024:

THREE-YEAR CUMULATIVE GROWTH
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 2024 that the MDCC reviewed.
THREE-YEAR AVERAGE RETURN
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 17.6%, which outperformed the Compensation Peer Group median. The following graphs show the Company’s performance versus the median of the Compensation Peer Group for three key ratios over the three-year period ending in 2024 that the MDCC reviewed.

SEPARATION TRANSACTIONS INCENTIVE AWARDS
SEPARATION TRANSACTIONS INCENTIVE AWARDS Honeywell has announced significant portfolio transformation transactions, including the planned spin-off of its Advanced Materials business into Solstice Advanced Materials and the planned separation of its Aerospace business. The Board anticipates that these transactions will unlock significant value for shareowners and customers. To ensure continuity, motivation, and strong leadership during this time of transition, the MDCC and the Board have determined that it is important to incentivize leadership with compensation directly tied to these transformational activities. To incentivize the successful completion of these transformational activities, the MDCC and the Board awarded one-time equity grants to Mr. Kapur, Mr. Currier, and Mr. Boldea with total grant date fair value of $3,000,000, $3,000,000, and $1,000,000, respectively. The awards are 60% stock options and 40% RSUs and will vest 50% at the completion of the planned Aerospace separation and 50% at the one-year anniversary of the separation. These awards are one-time grants and will not be granted on an annual basis. The awards were granted concurrently with the 2025 LTI grants and have a grant date of February 19, 2025.
2024 ANNUAL INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN DECISIONS
2024 ANNUAL INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN DECISIONS As prescribed in Honeywell's ICP program, 80% of the ICP awards earned by the NEOs was determined based on performance against financial targets established by the MDCC in early February 2024 (based on the mid-point of external guidance), 15% of the awards was determined based on the MDCC’s qualitative assessment of individual 2024 performance against objectives and their significant accomplishments (described beginning on page 59), and 5% of the awards was determined based on the MDCC's assessment of performance against Corporate Responsibility KPIs set for 2024. The potential attainment percentage for each of the formulaic, individual qualitative, and Corporate Responsibility portions of the award could range from 0% to 200% of target. Individual 2024 ICP target amounts for the NEOs were determined by multiplying their 2024 ICP applicable base salary by their individual ICP target award percentage. Individual ICP target award percentages for 2024 were: •Mr. Kapur: 175%. •Other NEOs: 100%.

2024–2026 PERFORMANCE PLAN GOALS
2024–2026 PERFORMANCE PLAN GOALS In February 2024, the MDCC approved robust financial targets for the 2024–2026 performance plan. All approved financial targets represent a significant increase over the prior year, as well as appropriately challenging year-over-year improvement in each year of the three-year performance period, all aligned to the Honeywell long-term financial algorithm of 4%–7% organic growth and 40 bps–60 bps of margin expansion. The table below sets out each metric at the Total Honeywell level, along with their respective goals, and the percentage of PSUs awarded that would be earned at each specified level of performance. No PSUs will be earned for a metric if performance falls below the noted threshold. If the Company’s performance for any of the performance metrics falls between the percentages listed on the table, the percentage of PSUs earned shall be determined by linear interpolation.

(1)Reflects the total number of PSUs awarded in 2024 for the 2024–2026 Performance Plan cycle. Annual officer PSUs have a grant date of February 16, 2024. (2)The grant date value was determined based on (a) the fair market value of Honeywell stock on the date of grant for the 75% of the award tied to performance against internal metrics, and (b) a multi-factor Monte Carlo simulation of Honeywell’s stock price and TSR relative to each of the other companies in the Compensation Peer Group, for the 25% of the award with payout determined based on three-year TSR relative to the Compensation Peer Group. 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.
2022–2024 PERFORMANCE PLAN ASSESSMENT
| 2022–2024 SUMMARY •MDCC approved 2022–2024 PSU payout = 127% of target (Corporate officers). •Payout reflects three-year financial results that exceeded plan targets. •Payout reduced for below threshold result on the three-year Relative TSR metric for the measurement period ending December 31, 2024 (shareowner alignment). |

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. Actual performance attainment also excludes the impact of the commercial agreement with Bombardier as an allowable exclusion (i.e., unusual and extraordinary item) under the terms of the Plan. | | | | | | | | | (2)For the portion of his time in ESS, Mr. Kapur's calculated payout was based (i) 37.5% on performance against the business unit financial goals, (ii) 37.5% on performance against the Total Honeywell financial goals, and (iii) 25% on Honeywell's three-year relative TSR performance, while his time in CORP is calculated based on Total Honeywell. Represents actual time worked in each business unit of 25% ESS and 75% CORP.

PSU Formulaic Calculation
The table below shows plan-basis TSR details for Honeywell and the 2022 Compensation Peer Group for the three-year performance period of January 1, 2022–December 31, 2024:
PSU Formulaic Calculation
| Company Name | 3-Year Relative Percentile Ranking (1) | | General Electric Company | 100.0% | | Eaton Corporation plc | 93.3% | | Caterpillar Inc. | 86.6% | | Phillips 66 | 80.0% | | Emerson Electric Co. | 73.3% | | Lockheed Martin Corp. | 66.6% | | Raytheon Technologies Corp. | 60.0% | | General Dynamics Corporation | 53.3% | | Illinois Tool Works Inc. | 46.6% | | Deere & Company | 40.0% | | Johnson Controls Int. plc | 33.3% | | Schlumberger Ltd. | 26.6% | | Dupont de Nemours, Inc. | 20.0% | | 3M Company | 13.3% | | Dow Inc. | 6.6% | | Boeing Co. | —% | | Honeywell International Inc. | 32.5% |
PSU Formulaic Calculation
(1)Based on three-year TSR determined on a plan-basis, which uses a 30-trading-day average of stock prices from the beginning, and to the end, of the three-year performance period. Honeywell's plan-basis three-year relative percentile ranking of 32.5% was below threshold for this performance plan cycle. As a result, no portion of the 2022–2024 performance plan award was earned on this metric.
Payout Decision
Payout Decision In February 2025, the MDCC reviewed and assessed the overall formulaic PSU calculation for the 2022–2024 performance cycle for the NEOs that received them. Calculated performance equaled 127% for the Corporate NEOs. The calculated payout for Mr. Kapur of 121% reflects a blended proration based on his service in PMT/ESS and Corporate over the three-year performance period. The calculated payout for Mr. Boldea of 91% reflects a blended proration based on his service in ESS/PMT and IA over the three-year performance period. Mr. Currier did not receive a PSU for the 2022–2024 cycle.
2022–2024 PSU Payouts
2022–2024 PSU Payouts Based on the final approved award payout percentages for the 2022–2024 performance period for those NEOs who received their 2022–2024 Performance Plan award in the form of PSUs, the MDCC approved the following individual awards to the NEOs:
2022–2024 PSU Payouts
| NEO | 2022–2024 PSUs at Target(1) | Total Payout % | Total 2022–2024 PSUs Earned | | Mr. Kapur | 16,151 | 121% | 19,542 | | Mr. Lewis | 13,626 | 127% | 17,305 | | Ms. Madden | 13,626 | 127% | 17,305 | | Mr. Boldea | 9,774 | 91% | 8,894 |
2022–2024 PSU Payouts
(1)Includes additional PSUs from dividend equivalents. Earned awards became fully vested on February 11, 2025, with final performance certified by the MDCC at its meeting on February 13, 2025. 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, 2024, and paid in March 2025.

2022–2024 Performance Cash Unit Payouts (Mr. Currier Only)
2022–2024 Performance Cash Unit Payouts (Mr. Currier Only) In February 2025, the MDCC also reviewed the calculated outcomes for the 2022–2024 Performance Cash Units (PCUs) issued to non-officer executives in 2022 (which included Mr. Currier, who was a non-officer at the time of grant). The non-officer performance plan follows the same structure as the 2022–2024 PSUs described above, but excludes the portion of the award that is tied to relative TSR.
2022–2024 Performance Cash Unit Payouts (Mr. Currier Only)

2022–2024 Performance Cash Unit Payouts (Mr. Currier Only)
(1)Results for AT executives based 50% on performance against Total Honeywell targets and 50% on performance against Aerospace targets. Based on the final approved award payout percentage for non-officer AT executives who received a 2022–2024 Performance Plan award in the form of performance cash units, the following individual award was earned by Mr. Currier:
2022–2024 Performance Cash Unit Payouts (Mr. Currier Only)
| NEO | 2022–2024 Performance Cash Units at Target | Value Per Unit | Total Earned Award | Total 2022–2024 Performance Cash Award Earned | | Mr. Currier | 1,334 | $100.00 | 133% | $177,422 |
2022–2024 Performance Cash Unit Payouts (Mr. Currier Only)
The earned award for Mr. Currier was paid in cash in March 2025. In accordance with SEC disclosure requirements for cash-based awards, 100% of the earned cash award for Mr. Currier for the 2022–2024 performance period is included as part of 2025 Non-Equity Incentive Compensation on the Summary Compensation Table, even though originally granted in 2022. The MDCC considered this 2022–2024 cash unit award as part of Mr. Currier's 2022 total annual direct compensation (in the year it was granted), which differs from how it is reported on the Summary Compensation Table. Mr. Currier became an executive officer in August 2023, and he has received PSU awards since then.

STOCK OPTIONS
| | Stock options granted to the NEOs in 2024 represented 25% 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, which is directly aligned with the interests of our shareowners. Stock options vest 25% per year over four years and have a 10-year term to exercise. The strike price for the 2024 annual stock options granted to NEOs in February is $197.68, which was the fair market value of Honeywell stock on the grant date (February 16, 2024). The grant date fair value of a stock option was determined by a third-party valuation company using a Black-Scholes valuation method. |

During the vesting period, dividend equivalents will be earned in the form of additional RSU shares based on regular dividends paid by Honeywell, with such additional dividends vesting on the same timing as the underlying RSUs to which they relate. In addition, upon vesting, RSUs are settled in shares of Honeywell stock with the NEO required to hold the resulting net shares at least one year before being able to sell them. (3)Grant date value is determined using the average of the high and low stock prices of Honeywell stock on the grant date. Numbers shown are based on a grant date value of $197.68.
NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS
NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS Honeywell executives (including the NEOs) may choose to participate in certain non-qualified 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 (5.91% for 2024). Matching contributions are treated as if invested in Company common stock. These plans are explained in more detail on page 81.
RECOUPMENT/CLAWBACK
RECOUPMENT/CLAWBACK Our Board determined that it is in the Company’s best interests to ensure that all performance-based cash compensation and equity awards reflect actual performance. Consistent with such determination, our Board adopted a Clawback Policy, in accordance with Rule 10D-1 of the Exchange Act and Nasdaq listing standards. This Clawback Policy is administered by our MDCC and enables the Company to recover from covered current and former executives certain incentive-based compensation in the event of an accounting restatement resulting from material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirements under the federal securities laws. Our Clawback Policy covers current and former executive officers, including all officers for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and applies to any incentive-based cash compensation that is granted, earned, or vested based wholly or in part on the attainment of any Company financial reporting measure. If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period, the MDCC shall require any executive officer covered by our Clawback Policy to reimburse or forfeit to the Company the amount of incentive-based compensation received by such executive officer based on the financial statements prior to the restatement that exceeds the amount such executive officer would have received had the incentive-based compensation been determined based on the financial restatement. The MDCC will not consider the executive officer’s responsibility or fault or lack thereof in enforcing our Clawback Policy to recoup the amount described above. In addition, we maintain the clawback guidelines set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. Under these guidelines, if the Board determines that a covered executive officer engaged in any misconduct that materially contributes to, or causes, a significant restatement of financial results, this may, independently, result in the recoupment (or clawback) of performance-based incentive awards (both equity- and cash-based awards). The complete text of the Corporate Governance Guidelines is posted on our website at investor.honeywell.com (see “Governance/Governance Overview”). In addition, if during the two-year period following an executive officer’s termination of employment with Honeywell, he or she commences employment with, or otherwise provides services to a Honeywell competitor, without the MDCC’s prior approval, or otherwise violates other restrictive covenants (including non-solicitation commitments), then the Company reserves the right, for awards issued under its Stock Incentive Plans, to: •Cancel all unexercised options and unvested equity; and •Recover any gains attributable to options that were exercised, and any value attributable to RSUs and Performance Plan awards that were paid, during the period beginning 12 months before and ending two years after the executive officer’s termination of employment. Honeywell has entered into non-competition agreements with each of the NEOs that preclude them from going to work for a competitor for up to two years after termination of employment. The list of competitors and the duration of the non-competition covenant has been tailored, in each case, to the executive officer’s position and the competitive threat this represents. Because money damages cannot adequately compensate Honeywell for violations of these non-competition covenants, we have a full range of equitable remedies at our disposal to enforce these agreements, including the ability to seek injunctive relief.

(2)The 2024 Stock Awards column represents the sum of two components: (i) PSU awards under the 2024–2026 Performance Plan, and (ii) RSU awards granted during the year. The unit grant date fair values of PSUs issued in 2024 were $202.95 for annual grants made to Messrs. Kapur, Lewis, Boldea, and Currier and Ms. Madden on February 16, 2024. PSU unit values were calculated based on (a) the value of Honeywell stock on the date of grant for the 75% of the award tied to performance against internal metrics, and (b) a multi-factor Monte Carlo simulation of Honeywell’s stock price and TSR relative to each of the other companies in the Compensation Peer Group, determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, for the 25% of the award with payout determined based on three-year TSR relative to the Compensation Peer Group. The unit grant date fair values of RSUs issued in 2024 were $197.68 for annual grants made to Messrs. Kapur, Lewis, Boldea, and Currier and Ms. Madden on February 16, 2024. RSU unit values are determined using the average of the high and low stock prices of Honeywell stock on the grant date.

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 (NEOs) 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 2024
(1)The present value of the accumulated retirement benefit for each Named Executive Officer is calculated as the lump sum available from the retirement earnings formula at December 31, 2024, using a 5.57% discount rate and projected PRI-2012 mortality. 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 large 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 in a lump sum on the first day of the first month that begins following the 105th day after the officer’s separation from service (as that term is defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 409A), subject to further payment delay that may be required by Internal Revenue Code Section 409A relating to specified employees. •Mr. Boldea was not eligible to receive a pension benefit from Honeywell based on his hire date and, therefore, he does not participate in the REP or the SERP.

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION — FISCAL YEAR 2024
NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION — FISCAL YEAR 2024 Honeywell limits deferred compensation amounts owed to executives by having the interest rate accruing on deferrals under the Honeywell Excess Benefit Plan, the 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 2024
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's 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 2025 for the 2024 year. (2)The value of executive contributions in the last fiscal year is calculated by multiplying the number of deferred RSUs that vested in 2024 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 30, 2024, by the closing price of a share of common stock on December 31, 2024 ($225.89). This column reflects the following for Ms. Madden: 35,431 in deferred units including dividend reinvestment units and $685,273 in cash. (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:

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL
POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL This section describes the benefits payable to our NEOs in two circumstances: •Termination of Employment •Change in Control (CIC) The transactions described under Proposal No. 4 of this Proxy Statement regarding the Liability Management Reorganization will not constitute a change in control under any of these arrangements and will not otherwise result in additional compensation (present, deferred, or contingent) to any of the NEOs or directors.
TERMINATION OR CIC IMPACT ON OUTSTANDING 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:
TERMINATION OR CIC IMPACT ON OUTSTANDING AWARDS
| Plan | Treatment of Stock Options, RSUs, and PSUs | | 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. •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
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 2024 annual total compensation of Vimal Kapur, our Chairman and CEO. As permitted by the SEC rules, the median employee utilized for the 2024 pay ratio disclosure is the same median employee identified and used for the 2023 CEO pay ratio as there were no significant changes to our employee population or employee compensation arrangements during 2024 that would result in a material change to our pay ratio disclosure. 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: •Our median employee was identified using our global employee population as of October 31, 2023 (the "Determination Date"). •Before applying the “De Minimis Exemption” adjustment permitted under SEC rules (described below), our global population on the Determination Date consisted of approximately 118,496 individuals.
CEO PAY RATIO
| Total U.S. Employees(1) | 56,557 | | Total Non-U.S. Employees | 61,939 (no exclusions) | | Total Global Workforce | 118,496 |
CEO PAY RATIO
(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 5,078 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 Algeria (61), Angola (4), Argentina (135), Azerbaijan (8), Bahrain (17), Bangladesh (2), Brazil (331), Bulgaria (182), Chile (162), Colombia (76), Croatia (6), Ecuador (5), Egypt (158), Finland (153), Hong Kong (158), Hungary (283), Indonesia (146), Japan (195), Jordan (12), Kazakhstan (111), Kenya (6), Kuwait (141), Latvia (2), Luxembourg (7), Macao (23), Morocco (116), New Zealand (206), Nigeria (9), Oman (62), Pakistan (5), Panama (4), Peru (49), Philippines (135), Portugal (31), Republic of Serbia (6), Saudi Arabia (396), South Africa (203), Spain (418), Sweden (61), Taiwan (117), Thailand (446), Tunisia (114), Turkey (211), Ukraine (27), Uruguay (4), Uzbekistan (4), and Vietnam (52).

| Total U.S. Employees | 56,557 | | Total Non-U.S. Employees | 56,861 (excluding 5,078 employees) | | Total Global Workforce | 113,418 |
CEO PAY RATIO
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 2024, our last completed fiscal year, was $79,090, calculated in accordance with the rules applicable to the Summary Compensation Table (SCT) of this Proxy Statement. For 2024, the annual total compensation of the CEO for purposes of determining the CEO Pay Ratio was $18,277,193. Based on this information, for 2024, the ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Kapur, our CEO, to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was estimated to be 231 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.

PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding executive pay and performance. The table below shows pay both as reported in the Summary Compensation Table (Summary Comp Table Total) for the applicable fiscal year and as “compensation actually paid” (CAP) for our principal executive officer(s) (PEO) and as an average of all of our other named executive officers (Non-PEO NEOs) for the applicable fiscal year. Both Summary Comp Table Total pay and CAP are calculated in accordance with the requirements of Regulation S-K and may differ substantially from the manner in which the MDCC makes executive compensation decisions, which is described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 46. The table below also shows (i) Honeywell’s cumulative total shareholder return (TSR), (ii) the TSR of the Nasdaq Industrial Select Sector Index (XLI), which we have used as our peer group for purposes of this table, (iii) Honeywell’s net income for the applicable fiscal year, and (iv) Honeywell’s performance with respect to a company-selected measure (CSM), which in our assessment represents the single most important financial performance metric used to link compensation actually paid to our NEOs for the most recently completed fiscal year to Honeywell’s performance. We selected segment margin as the CSM for the 2024 fiscal year.

PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE
(2)Fair value or change in fair value, as applicable, of equity awards in the “Compensation Actually Paid” columns was determined by reference to (1) for RSU awards, including reinvested dividend equivalent units, closing price on applicable year-end dates or, in the case of vesting dates, the actual vesting price, (2) for PSU awards (excluding TSR portion of the PSU award), the same valuation methodology as RSU awards above except year-end and vesting date values are multiplied by the forecasted performance factor as of each such date, and include reinvested dividend equivalent units, (3) for the TSR-based portion of the PSU awards, the fair value calculated by a Monte Carlo simulation model as of the applicable year-end date(s) or, in the case of vesting date, the actual vesting price and performance factor, and (4) for stock options, the fair value calculated by a Black-Scholes model as of the applicable year-end or vesting date(s), determined based on the same methodology as used to determine grant date fair values but using the closing stock price on the applicable revaluation date as the current market price, and in all cases based on volatility, dividend rates, and risk free rates determined as of the revaluation date. (3)For the portion of “Compensation Actually Paid” that is based on year-end stock prices, the following prices were used: for 2024: $225.89 (7.7% increase from prior year), for 2023: $209.71 (2.1% decrease from prior year), for 2022: $214.30 (2.8% increase from prior year), for 2021: $208.51 (2.0% decrease from prior year), and for 2020: $212.70 (20.2% increase from prior year). (4)The dollar amounts reported for Mr. Kapur under “Compensation Actually Paid” represent the amount of “compensation actually paid” to Mr. Kapur, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to Mr. Kapur during the applicable year.
