| 2 | Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation |
2025 Director Compensation
The Company is seeking a non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of its Named Executive Officers, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 38 and the 2025 Summary Compensation Table beginning on page 60. The Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR the non-binding advisory vote to approve executive compensation, and for the following resolution: “RESOLVED, that the shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables, and the related disclosure contained in the Company’s Proxy Statement.” The primary objectives of our executive compensation program are to:
2025 Director Compensation
| ● | Create and reinforce our pay-for-performance culture; |
2025 Director Compensation
| ● | Align the interests of management with our shareholders and other stakeholders; |
2025 Director Compensation
| ● | Attract, retain and motivate executive talent by providing competitive levels of salary and targeted total pay; |
2025 Director Compensation
| ● | Provide incentive compensation that promotes desired behavior without encouraging unnecessary and excessive risk; and |

2025 Director Compensation
By following these objectives, we believe that our compensation program for NEOs is strongly aligned with the long-term interests of our shareholders. At our 2020 AGM, we held a non-binding advisory vote seeking how frequently we should submit our “say-on-pay” proposal to shareholders (commonly referred to as a “say-on-frequency” proposal). Based on the results of such non-binding advisory vote, the Company will hold “say-on-pay” votes annually. We will re-evaluate this determination after the shareholder advisory “say-on-frequency” vote at the Company’s 2026 AGM.
2025 Director Compensation
| Vote required: | Affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast. | | | Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote as abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as a vote cast. |
2025 Allegion Performance
Overall, 2025 was marked by high-single digit enterprise revenue growth, accretive capital deployment and strong cash generation. Our company grew revenue and profitability while making responsible investments to drive future growth. During the year, those investments included the acquisitions of Brisant Secure, ELATEC, Gatewise, Lemaar, Next Door Company, Novas, Trimco, UAP and Waitwhile. These acquisitions leverage core Allegion strengths in mechanical security hardware, while also increasing our deep customer relationships and continuing to build out our portfolio to meet customer and end-user needs through electronics and software. Additionally, these investments underscore our commitment to driving innovation that supports our vision of creating a safer and more accessible world. Our commitment to environmental, social and governance excellence supports this vision, too. We have short-term and long-term goals that guide steady progress in sustainability and pride ourselves on having one of the safest, most engaged workforces in our industry. Through employee engagement and creating an inclusive culture with opportunities for all, as well as giving back to our communities, we’re creating a better workplace and contributing to a better world. In 2024 and 2025, we were named a “Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award” winner, further recognizing our workplace culture of strengths and engagement as one of the best in the world. Our engagement and our passion for excellence propels us to create a high-performing and inclusive culture, where we can elevate the people in our industry and our communities. Allegion’s strong performance relative to all metrics resulted in a 131.31% financial performance score under the AIP for 2025 (subject to region- and individual-specific performance adjustments). Our PSU payout for the 2023 – 2025 performance period was 125%, which was a result of adjusted EPS achievement of $8.10 (149% payout for this component) and relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) at the 50th percentile of our performance peer group (resulting in a payout of 100% for this component). As described under “Long-Term Incentive Plan,” PSUs represented 50% of the NEOs’ target long-term incentive grant value for 2025.

Use of Comparator Groups for Pay and Performance
Use of Comparator Groups for Pay and Performance The Compensation and Human Capital Committee uses two comparator groups as part of its executive compensation process. The “Compensation Benchmarking Peer Group” is used to assess the market competitiveness of our NEOs’ target total direct compensation opportunities, and the Performance Peer Group is used to evaluate our relative TSR performance, one of the performance measures utilized in our long-term incentive program.
Compensation Benchmarking Peer Group
Compensation Benchmarking Peer Group The Compensation and Human Capital Committee considers relevant market pay practices, among other factors, when setting executive compensation to enhance our ability to recruit and retain high-performing talent. In assessing market competitiveness, the compensation of our NEOs is reviewed against the Compensation Benchmarking Peer Group, which consists of companies that generally:
Compensation Benchmarking Peer Group
| ● | Are similar to us in terms of certain factors, including one or more of the following: size (i.e., revenue, market capitalization and growth characteristics), industry, lifecycle stage and global presence; and |
Compensation Benchmarking Peer Group
| ● | Have NEOs whose scope of responsibilities are comparable in terms of breadth and complexity. |
Peer Group Decisions for 2025
Peer Group Decisions for 2025 The Compensation and Human Capital Committee reviews the Compensation Benchmarking Peer Group on an annual basis and determines, with input from its independent compensation consultant, whether any changes are appropriate. This annual review ensures that the peer group companies remain appropriate from a business and talent perspective. In September 2024, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee reviewed the Compensation Benchmarking Peer Group with the assistance of its independent compensation consultant. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee removed two then-existing peers (Masonite International and National Instruments Corp) that were acquired and added one new peer, Generac Holdings, to maintain a robust comparator group with the Company positioned near the median for revenue and market capitalization. This peer group is outlined below.
Peer Group Decisions for 2025
| Acuity Brands | Generac Holdings* | Masco Corp | SPX Technologies | | A.O. Smith | Graco | nVent Electric | Trimble Inc. | | Belden | Hubbell | Owens Corning | Watts Water Technologies | | Carlisle Companies | Keysight Technologies | Resideo Technologies | Zebra Technologies Corp | | Fortive Corporation | Lennox International | Rockwell Automation | | | Fortune Brands Home & Security | Littelfuse | Sensata Technologies | |
Peer Group Decisions for 2025
| * New peer for 2025 |
Performance Peer Group
Performance Peer Group Historically, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee utilized a performance peer group consisting of the companies in the S&P 400 Capital Goods Index (the “Performance Peer Group”). Beginning with the PSUs granted in 2024, the Performance Peer Group was expanded to also include the S&P 500 Capital Goods Index. We believe the Performance Peer Group provides an appropriate measure of our relative TSR performance because it contains companies that operate in similar industries and are subject to similar macro-economic factors.
Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant
Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant The Compensation and Human Capital Committee has the authority to obtain advice and assistance from independent advisors and to determine their fees and terms of engagement. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee engaged FW Cook as its independent compensation consultant following a robust process. Each year, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee evaluates the independence and quality of the services provided by its independent compensation consultant.

2025 COMPENSATION DECISIONS
2025 COMPENSATION DECISIONS The Compensation and Human Capital Committee annually reviews each element of target total direct compensation for our NEOs to determine whether these programs competitively reward our NEOs for their services based on a comparison to executives in the Compensation Benchmarking Peer Group and a review of other competitive market information and to ensure alignment with our compensation philosophy noted previously.
Annual and Long-Term Incentives
Annual and Long-Term Incentives The following table shows year-over-year changes in the 2025 annual and long-term target incentive opportunities for the NEOs. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee increased the 2025 long-term target incentive opportunities for the NEOs to maintain alignment with our compensation philosophy and design principles and to remain competitive with the Compensation Benchmarking Peer Group median.

Annual Incentive Plan Design
Annual Incentive Plan Design The AIP provides NEOs an opportunity to earn a cash incentive tied to both our financial performance, including profitable revenue growth and the delivery of strong cash flow, and the NEOs’ respective individual contributions over a one-year performance period. Individual AIP payouts are calculated as the product of (i) base salary; (ii) target percentage of base salary; (iii) the financial performance score; and (iv) the individual performance score (including application of the People, Environment and Safety Scorecard modifier). The AIP requires that we achieve defined and objective financial performance goals before participants become eligible for an award and in no case will an NEO’s AIP award exceed 200% of the target percentage. The individual performance score multiplier can range from 0 to 150%, subject to the 200% overall cap on the AIP award. In addition, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee has established an aggregate cap on the individual performance component equal to 10% of the aggregate earned financial performance payment for all active Company executive officers, including NEOs (the Individual Performance Pool Cap). The individual performance component for all NEOs can be modified downward by up to 3% based on the Company’s performance against the People, Environment and Safety Scorecard adopted by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee at the beginning of the year. The People, Environment and Safety Scorecard modifier does not increase the Performance Pool Cap.

Long-Term Incentive Plan
Long-Term Incentive Plan
Long-Term Incentive Plan Design
Long-Term Incentive Plan Design The long-term incentive plan provides NEOs an opportunity to earn an equity incentive tied to our financial performance over a three-year performance period and is comprised of PSUs, stock options, and RSUs. We grant executives a mix of equity awards to provide an effective balance between incentivizing and rewarding long-term financial performance and retention. Long-term incentive targets are expressed in dollar amounts which are converted to a number of shares based on the fair value of the award on the grant date.
Long-Term Incentive Plan Design
| Award Type | Portion of Grant | Alignment with Shareholders | | PSUs | 50% | Designed to motivate and reward executives for achievement of a financial goal based on our strategic business objectives and align NEOs with shareholder interest by rewarding value creation over the long term by positioning 50% of the opportunity to adjusted EPS performance and the other 50% to relative TSR | | Options | 25% | Designed to motivate NEOs to create shareholder value by allowing NEOs to participate in share price appreciation over the long term | | RSUs | 25% | Designed to facilitate NEO retention and reward for stock price appreciation |
Long-Term Incentive Plan Design
Performance Stock Units (PSUs): Vesting of the PSUs is tied 50% to an adjusted EPS goal and 50% to relative TSR as compared to the Performance Peer Group companies over a three-year performance period. PSUs vest at the end of the three-year performance period and the NEO will earn a number of shares based upon achievement of the performance levels shown below. If TSR is not positive over the performance period, payout cannot exceed the target level for the TSR portion of the award. Such TSR review will occur after the conclusion of the final year of the performance period.

Long-Term Incentive Plan Design
Dividend equivalents are accrued on outstanding PSU awards at the same time and at the same rate as dividends paid to shareholders. Dividend equivalents are not earned until the PSUs vest and are payable in cash at the time of vesting. The actual dividend equivalents paid are determined by the actual number of PSUs earned at the end of the performance period. Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units: Stock options and RSUs are considered by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee to be “at-risk” performance-based compensation and aligned with our shareholders’ interests over the long term. Stock options are considered “at-risk” because there is no value unless the stock price appreciates during the term of the option. RSUs are considered at-risk because the ultimate value of the shares underlying the award will fluctuate based on our stock price performance. RSUs provide strong retentive value, while still providing alignment with shareholder value creation. Both stock options and RSUs granted annually to our NEOs vest ratably in three equal annual increments over a three-year period beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. Stock options expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. Dividend equivalents are accrued on outstanding RSU awards at the same time and at the same rate as dividends are paid to shareholders. Dividend equivalents on RSUs are only payable if the underlying RSU award vests. At the time of vesting, one ordinary share is issued for each RSU and any accrued dividend equivalents are paid in cash. No dividend equivalents are payable on stock options.
2025 Annual Equity Awards
2025 Annual Equity Awards In the first quarter of 2025, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee approved the grant date value for each NEO as shown in the following table. The actual value of the 2025-2027 PSU awards will depend upon our performance relative to pre-established performance goals and price of our ordinary shares at the time the awards are settled.

PSU Payouts for 2023 – 2025 Performance Period
PSU Payouts for 2023 – 2025 Performance Period The PSUs earned for the 2023-2025 performance period were based on the Company’s (i) adjusted EPS performance against pre-established goals for the last year of the performance period and (ii) TSR performance over the three-year performance period relative to the Peer Performance Group companies, with each of these performance metrics weighted at 50%. For the last year of the 2023-2025 performance period (i.e., our fiscal year ended December 31, 2025), our adjusted EPS was $8.10, resulting in a payout of 149% for that metric, and our TSR performance was ranked in the 50th percentile, resulting in a payout of 100% for that metric. The performance metrics, when weighted and combined, resulted in an overall payout of 125% of target.

Retirement Programs and Other Benefits
Retirement Programs and Other Benefits A qualified defined contribution 401(k) plan called the Employee Savings Plan (“ESP”) is available for the U.S. salaried and hourly non-union workforce. The ESP provides a dollar-for-dollar match on the first 6% of the employee’s eligible contributions to the ESP. The ESP has a number of investment options and is a retirement savings program. We also maintain qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans intended to provide fixed benefits upon retirement based on the individual’s age and number of years of service, however, these plans are closed to new participants. Refer to the 2025 Pension Benefits table on page 66 for additional details on these plans and those NEOs that are eligible to participate. As of January 1, 2023, all non-union defined benefit (DB) plan accruals ceased. Impacted employees now receive a 2% employer core contribution in the Employee Savings Plan (ESP) in addition to the standard company match. This follows a transition period that began in 2012 and concluded for all remaining eligible employees at the end of 2022. Please refer to the section “2025 Pension Benefits” on page 64 for additional details on these plans. The Company also offers a U.S. nonqualified, defined contribution plan called the Supplemental Employee Savings Plan (the “Supplemental ESP”). Please refer to the section “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” on page 66 for a description of the Supplemental ESP. Through 2018, our nonqualified EDCP allowed eligible employees to defer receipt of a part of their annual salary, AIP award and PSU award. Cash deferrals were invested in select mutual fund investments and PSU award deferrals were required to be invested in our ordinary shares. As of January 1, 2019, this plan was frozen to new participants and deferrals. Please refer to the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation section for additional details on the EDCP.
Severance Arrangements
Severance Arrangements We have not adopted a formal severance policy that is specific to our NEOs and other executives. In connection with recruiting certain officers, we may enter into arrangements that provide for severance payments upon certain termination events, other than in the event of a change in control (which are addressed in the CIC Plan as described under the section “Change-In-Control Plan” below).
Change in Control Plan
Change in Control Plan All NEOs participate in our Change in Control Severance Plan (“CIC Plan”). The CIC Plan was adopted to mitigate the concern that those involved in considering a potential change in control transaction might otherwise be motivated to act in their own interests rather than the best interests of our shareholders, and to assure continuity of management in circumstances that reduce or eliminate job security and might otherwise lead to accelerated departures. The CIC Plan provides cash severance benefits if a change in control (as defined therein) (“CIC”) occurs and an officer’s employment is terminated in connection with such CIC or within two years thereafter by the employer without Cause or by the officer with Good Reason (each as defined therein). Cash severance benefits in the event of such a qualifying termination will be based on an individually defined multiple ranging from 1.5 for executive officers to 3.0 for the CEO (the “Severance Multiple”). Individual cash severance benefits under the CIC Plan include: (i) the product of the individual’s base salary in effect at termination multiplied by the Severance Multiple; (ii) the product of the individual’s then-current cash target incentive award multiplied by the Severance Multiple; and (iii) a target cash incentive award for the year of termination pro-rated for the portion of the performance cycle completed through the date of termination. Cash severance benefits under the CIC Plan will be reduced by severance-related benefits provided through any other Allegion severance program. In addition, participants in the CIC Plan will, in the event of a qualifying termination, receive continued health benefits for a term of years equal to the Severance Multiple and outplacement benefits of up to $25,000. The CIC Plan does not provide for payment of, or reimbursement for, any tax payments or other tax gross ups related to the severance benefits. However, the CIC Plan does provide for cash severance benefits to be adjusted for purposes of the excise tax that could apply pursuant to Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code, so participants will receive the better after-tax benefit treatment (“Best of Net” approach) between (i) cash severance payments paid in full, with the executive responsible for all taxes incurred, or (ii) cash severance payments reduced to avoid triggering excise taxes. Under the 2013 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2013 Stock Plan”) and 2023 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2023 Stock Plan”), in the event of a CIC, outstanding unvested stock options and RSUs will immediately vest and become exercisable or payable, as applicable, unless a substantially equivalent alternate award is provided by the surviving entity following the CIC. PSU awards will be deemed vested on a pro-rata basis, based on the target award opportunity and total number of months worked in the applicable performance period.
Senior Executive Performance Plan
Senior Executive Performance Plan The Senior Executive Performance Plan (“SEPP”) is a shareholder approved plan that funds the annual cash incentive awards that may be granted to each of the NEOs under the AIP. Under the SEPP, the maximum amount of annual cash incentive that can be paid to the CEO is 1.5% of Consolidated OI from Continuing Operations, as defined in the SEPP, and the maximum amount of annual cash incentive that can be paid to any other covered executive is 0.6% of Consolidated OI from Continuing Operations. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee may exercise its discretion to pay less than the maximum amount to the NEOs, after considering the factors described in the AIP.
Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards
Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards In 2025, we granted annual equity awards to all of our NEOs following our earnings release for the fourth quarter and full-year results for 2024. We intend to continue to regularly follow this practice. In response to Item 402(x)(1) of Regulation S-K, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee does not grant or determine the terms of equity awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information. Similarly, we do not time the release of material nonpublic information based on equity award grant dates. In 2025, we did not grant stock options on any date that, in relation to our disclosure of material nonpublic information, would require us to provide the tabular disclosure of Item 402(x)(2) of Regulation S-K.

2025 PENSION BENEFITS
2025 PENSION BENEFITS Each of the NEOs (other than Messrs. Stone and Blasko) participates in one or more of the following defined benefit plans:
2025 PENSION BENEFITS
| ● | the Qualified Pension Plan; |
2025 PENSION BENEFITS
| ● | the Schlage Lock Company LLC Supplemental Pension Plan (the “Supplemental Pension Plan”); and |
2025 PENSION BENEFITS
| ● | the Schlage Lock Company LLC Key Management Supplemental Plan (the “KMP”). |
2025 PENSION BENEFITS
Qualified Pension Plan. The Qualified Pension Plan is a funded, tax-qualified, non-contributory defined benefit plan that covers eligible U.S. employees hired prior to July 1, 2012. The Qualified Pension Plan provides for normal retirement at age 65. A participant becomes vested in the benefit: (i) after five years of service, or (ii) if, while employed, the participant (a) attains age 65, (b) dies or (c) becomes disabled. The formula to determine the lump sum benefit under the Qualified Pension Plan is 5% of final average pay (the five highest consecutive years out of the last ten years of eligible compensation) for each year of credited service. A choice for distribution between various annuity options and a lump sum option is available. The Qualified Pension Plan was closed to new participants on July 1, 2012, and no further benefits accrue to any Qualified Pension Plan participant for service performed after December 31, 2022. Certain participants made an election in 2012 to forego accruing further benefits for service performed after December 31, 2012, and, in lieu, receive a non-elective employer contribution equal to 2% of eligible compensation in the ESP. Messrs. Wagnes and Ilardi made this election. NEOs hired on July 1, 2012, through and including December 1, 2013, and eligible to participate in the ESP received the non-elective employer contribution. Employees whose accruals ceased effective December 31, 2022, in the Qualified Pension Plan, began receiving an employer core contribution of 2% of eligible pay in the ESP effective January 1, 2023. Supplemental Pension Plan. The Supplemental Pension Plan is an unfunded, nonqualified, non-contributory defined benefit restoration plan. Since the IRS limits the annual compensation recognized when calculating benefits under the Qualified Pension Plan, the Supplemental Pension Plan restores what is lost in the Qualified Pension Plan due to these limits. The Supplemental Pension Plan covers all our employees who participate in the Qualified Pension Plan and who are impacted by the IRS’ compensation limits. A participant must meet the vesting requirements of the Qualified Pension Plan to vest for benefits under the Supplemental Pension Plan. Benefits under the Supplemental Pension Plan are available only as a lump-sum distribution after termination and paid in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. As a result of the 2012 changes to the Qualified Pension Plan, the Supplemental Pension Plan was closed to employees hired on or after July 1, 2012, and no further benefits will accrue to any Supplemental Pension Plan participant for service performed after December 31, 2022, or after December 31, 2012, to the extent the participant made an election to forgo accruing further benefits as previously described. Key Management Supplemental Plan (KMP). The KMP, which is closed to new participants, is an unfunded, nonqualified, non-contributory defined benefit plan designed to replace a percentage of an employee’s final average pay based on the employee’s age and years of service at the time of retirement. Mr. Eckersley is vested in the KMP. Final average pay is defined as the sum of the employee’s current annual salary plus the average of the employee’s three highest annual incentive awards during the most recent six years. No other elements of compensation (other than salary and AIP awards) are included in final average pay. The KMP provides a benefit pursuant to a formula in which 1.7% of an employee’s final average pay is multiplied by years of service (up to a maximum of 30 years) and then reduced by the value of other retirement benefits the employee will receive that are provided by us under certain qualified and nonqualified retirement plans as well as Social Security. Vesting occurs at the earlier of the attainment of age 55 and the completion of 5 years of service or age 65. Benefits are only available as a lump sum after termination and paid in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.

2025 Pension Benefits
| (b) For officers or managers first covered under the KMP prior to May 19, 2009, by Ingersoll Rand, a full year of service is credited for any year in which they work at least one day, otherwise, the number of years of credited service under the KMP is based on elapsed time (i.e., credit is given for each month in which a participant works at least one day). The number of years of credit service in the Qualified Pension Plan and Supplemental Pension Plan are based on elapsed time. No additional credited service is earned under the Qualified Pension Plan and Supplemental Pension Plan effective December 31, 2022. |
2025 Pension Benefits
| (c) The amounts in this column reflect the estimated present value of each NEO’s accumulated benefit under the plans indicated. The calculations reflect the value of the benefits assuming that each NEO was fully vested under each plan. The benefits were computed as of December 31, 2025, consistent with the assumptions described in Note 11, “Defined Benefit Plans,” to our consolidated financial statements contained in the 2025 Form 10-K. |
NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION
NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION The EDCP is a nonqualified plan that permitted certain employees, including certain NEOs, to defer receipt of up to 50% of their annual salary and up to 100% of their AIP awards and PSU awards received upon commencement of employment. Elections to defer were made prior to the beginning of the performance period. Amounts deferred under the EDCP are unsecured contractual obligations that are paid from our general assets and are available to creditors in the event of the Company’s insolvency. Participants are offered a range of investment options that best suit the participants’ goals, time horizon and risk tolerance. As of January 1, 2019, the EDCP was frozen to new participants and deferrals. Existing balances remain in place and are subject to the elections on file. Participants have the ability to make distribution changes or investment elections for current deferred assets. Participants are 100% vested in all amounts deferred and bear the risk of any earnings and losses on such deferred amounts. Generally, deferred amounts may be distributed following termination of employment or at the time of a scheduled in-service distribution date chosen by the participant. If a participant has completed five or more years of service at the time of termination, or is terminated due to long-term disability, death or retirement, the distribution is paid in accordance with the participant’s election. If a participant terminates without meeting these requirements, the account balance for all plan years will be paid in a lump sum in the year following the year of termination. A participant can elect to receive distributions at termination over a period of 5, 10 or 15 annual installments, or in a single lump sum. A participant can elect to receive scheduled in-service distributions in future years that are at least two years after the end of the plan year for which they are deferring. In-service distributions can be received in two to five annual installments, or if no election is made, in a lump sum. For those participants who have investments in Company ordinary shares, the distribution of these assets will be in the form of ordinary shares, not cash. Additionally, we offer a U.S. nonqualified, defined contribution plan called the Supplemental Employee Savings Plan (the “Supplemental ESP”). The Supplemental ESP is an unfunded plan that makes up matching and core contributions that cannot be made to the ESP due to Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or plan limitations. The Supplemental ESP is deemed invested in funds selected by participants and includes the same funds available in the ESP except for a self-directed brokerage account, which is not available in the Supplemental ESP.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE-IN-CONTROL AT 2025 YEAR END
POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE-IN-CONTROL AT 2025 YEAR END The following table and discussion describe the potential payments and other benefits to which each of the NEOs would be entitled in the event of a termination of such executive’s employment on December 31, 2025, including a qualifying termination following a CIC. The potential payments were determined under the terms of our plans and arrangements in effect on December 31, 2025. The table does not include any pension benefits or nonqualified deferred compensation amounts that would be paid to an NEO, which are set forth in the 2025 Pension Benefits table and the 2025 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table, except to the extent that the NEO is entitled to an additional benefit as a result of the specified termination scenario. The amounts reported are merely estimates, as we are not able to determine actual amounts unless and until an applicable scenario occurs.

| (b) Amounts represent the actual award earned for the 2025 performance period. |
POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE-IN-CONTROL AT 2025 YEAR END
| (c) For “Involuntary Without Cause,” this assumes group termination or job elimination. Amounts are based on the closing market price of our ordinary shares on December 31, 2025 of $159.22 per share, as reported on the NYSE. For “Involuntary Without Cause” other than for a group termination or job elimination, all PSUs held by the NEO would be forfeited. |
POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE-IN-CONTROL AT 2025 YEAR END
| (d) For “Involuntary Without Cause,” this assumes group termination. The amounts shown represent (i) the value of the NEO’s eligible then-unvested RSUs, which is calculated based on the number of unvested RSUs multiplied by the closing market price of our ordinary shares on December 31, 2025, of $159.22 per share and (ii) the intrinsic value of the unvested stock options, which is calculated based on the difference between such closing market price on December 31, 2025, and the relevant exercise price. For purposes of a “Change in Control,” we assume that an alternate award is not provided and the vesting of the unvested awards accelerates. For retirement eligible NEOs, the eligible equity awards do not accelerate but continue to vest on the same basis as if they were actively employed. For “Involuntary Without Cause” other than for a group termination, all RSUs and stock options held by the NEO would be forfeited. |

| (f) Represents our cost of continued active coverage for 36 months for the CEO and 24 months for the other NEOs. |
CEO PAY RATIO
CEO PAY RATIO Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, we are required to disclose the median of the annual total compensation of our employees (other than the CEO), the annual total compensation of our CEO at December 31, 2025, Mr. Stone, and the ratio of these two amounts (such ratio, the “CEO Pay Ratio”). In 2025, our CEO’s annual total compensation was $9,155,073 as reflected in the 2025 Summary Compensation Table included in this proxy statement. Our median employee’s annual total compensation for 2025 was $71,659. As a result, the CEO Pay Ratio for 2025 was 128 to 1. We identified our median employee in January 2026 to calculate the 2025 CEO Pay Ratio. To identify the “median employee” from our employee population, we defined our employee population, by excluding a total of 645 employees in France, Korea, Spain, Poland and Vietnam, as permitted by the de minimis exemption provided in Item 402(u)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K. We used base salary as our consistently applied compensation measure. We calculated the median pay and used a pay range of +/- 1% to identify the median employee population. The median employee is in North America and works in operations.
