Resideo’s 2023 Executive Compensation Program
| BASE SALARY | • Salaries are competitive with median market practice for the individual’s role, taking into consideration individual performance, experience, scope of role relative to market benchmarks and other factors | | ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN | • Our 2023 annual incentives were tied to achieving growth and profitability targets approved by the Board • Financial metrics for 2023 were net revenue, operating income margin, and cash flow from operating activities, which represented 100% of the target incentive opportunity | | LONG-TERM INCENTIVES | • Target LTI values were granted to our NEOs through two equity instruments: • RSUs representing 40% of the total LTI value for our CEO, and 50% of the total LTI value for other NEOs, vesting annually over three years in equal, one-third installments; and • Performance share units (“PSUs”) representing 60% of the total LTI value for our CEO, and 50% of the total LTI value for other NEOs, with potential payout determined based on our total shareholder return measured against the total shareholder return of the companies in the S&P 600 Index (“rTSR”) |
Resideo’s 2023 Executive Compensation Program
The Committee approved a 2023 executive compensation program that reflects our business strategy and a strong pay-for-performance culture. Our rTSR-based PSUs will be earned based on our performance against that of the companies in the S&P 600 Index over a three-year performance period. The use of the S&P 600 Index for awards granted in February 2023 represented a change from prior years that used the S&P 400 Industrials index and was made to align with the index currently including Resideo stock. Our RSU awards further align the interests of our NEOs with our shareholders and provide a meaningful retention vehicle.
2023 Annual Incentive Plan
2023 Annual Incentive Plan The fiscal 2023 annual incentive plan provided NEOs the opportunity to earn a cash bonus with a target set as a percent of the NEO’s base salary. The Committee set financial metrics that represented 100% of the target incentive opportunity. Under the 2023 annual incentive plan, our NEOs were eligible to receive a payout ranging from a threshold payment of 50% to a maximum of 200% of the target award allocated to the achievement of each financial metric. No bonus is paid if performance is below threshold. In determining the financial metrics used to set performance targets for the 2023 annual incentive compensation awards, our leadership team and the Committee considered, among other factors, the importance of a clear and direct link between our published financial results and awards under our annual incentive plan. To that end, for 2023, the Committee selected financial metrics, consisting of reported Net Revenue, Operating Income as a percentage of Net Revenue (“Operating Income Margin”), and Cash Flow from Operating Activities, adjusted for allowable impacts outlined in the annual incentive plan. The relative weighting of each financial metric and a definition of the metric is set forth below:
2023 Annual Incentive Plan

2023 Annual Incentive Plan
The annual incentive plan financial metrics for our NEOs, other than Messrs. Aarnes and Theodore, were based on Resideo’s consolidated results. The financial metrics for Mr. Aarnes’ annual incentive award were weighted 50% on the results of the ADI segment, and 50% on Resideo’s consolidated results. The financial metrics for Mr. Theodore’s annual incentive award were weighted 50% on the results of the Products and Solutions segment and 50% on Resideo’s consolidated results. In connection with setting the performance goals for the 2023 performance period, the Committee determined to measure revenue on a constant currency basis. The Committee also determined to adjust the financial measures for the results of businesses acquired and divested during 2023 and for restructuring and similar unusual events occurring during the year, as these items were not contemplated at the time the goals were originally determined. In certifying the level of performance achieved for 2023, in addition to adjusting for the impacts of foreign exchange rates and businesses acquired or divested during 2023, the Committee adjusted the revenue, operating income, and CFFO measures for unusual items consisting of restructuring expenses and certain legal settlements. The effect of the adjustments for these unusual items resulted in an increase in revenue by $2 million, decrease in revenue of $25 million, and increase in revenue of $27 million for total Resideo, ADI, and P&S, respectively. Operating income margin increased by 80 bps, 40 bps, and 100 bps for total Resideo, ADI, and P&S, respectively. CFFO increased by $24 million, $4 million, and $12 million for total Resideo, ADI, and P&S, respectively.

2023 Long-Term Incentives
2023 Long-Term Incentives The goal of our LTI plan is to align the compensation of our executives with the interests of shareholders by encouraging sustained long- term improvement in operational and financial performance and long-term increase in shareholder value. LTI compensation also serves as a retention instrument and provides equity-building opportunities for executives. These equity awards are granted under the Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Incentive Plan of Resideo Technologies, Inc. and its Affiliates (the “2018 Stock Incentive Plan”). In determining the target award value for each executive, the Committee considers competitive long-term incentive award information among our peer group companies provided by the independent compensation consultant, taking into consideration the total value of all elements of compensation. Further, the Committee recognizes the importance of LTI awards in providing a compensation package that will motivate and retain Company executives. The table below shows the mix of annual LTI components for 2023:
2023 Long-Term Incentives
| | CEO (% of Total LTI) | Other NEOs (% of Total LTI) | | Performance Stock Units (PSUs) | 60% | 50% | | Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) | 40% | 50% |

2023 Long-Term Incentives
The number of shares awarded to each NEO for each component of the award is determined by dividing the target value by the average of the closing stock price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the three market trading days leading up to and including the grant date, rounded down to the nearest cent. 2023 RSUs The annual RSUs awarded in 2023 will vest ratably over a three-year period, with one-third of the shares vesting on each anniversary of the grant date, subject to the recipient being employed by the Company through each vesting date.
2023 Long-Term Incentives
| | 2024 PROXY STATEMENT | 49 |
2023 Long-Term Incentives
2023 PSUs The PSUs granted in 2023 will vest based on an rTSR metric and will be earned by comparing our total shareholder return to the total shareholder return of other companies in the S&P 600 Index from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025. The threshold, target and maximum levels of rTSR achievement that correspond to the number of shares that will be earned are set forth below. Performance below the threshold level will result in no shares being paid. The arrangement is similar to PSUs awarded in 2021 and 2022, except that the comparator group used to determine a payout under 2023 PSU awards is the S&P 600 Index, as opposed to the S&P 400 Industrials Index used for prior awards.

2021 PSUs
2021 PSUs December 31, 2023 marked the end of the three-year performance period for PSUs granted in February 2021. Those PSUs forfeited based on the ranking of Resideo’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) over the three-year period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023 as compared to the TSR of the companies in the S&P 400 Industrials Index over the same period. The total shares that could be earned by an executive under these awards range from 50% of the target award for achievement of the minimum level of performance to a maximum of 200% of the target award. Based on Resideo achieving a TSR rank of 52 out of the 63 companies in the S&P 400 Industrials Index, which represents a 16th percentile ranking, the 2021 PSU awards achieved no payout of the award.
Special Awards to Mr. Huth and Mr. Aarnes
Special Awards to Mr. Huth and Mr. Aarnes In December 2023, the Committee approved a grant of $250,000 in RSUs to Mr. Huth in recognition of his leadership role as he supports the transition of the President, Products and Solutions. The RSUs will vest in equal installments on December 7, 2024, and December 7, 2025. In February 2024, the Committee approved a grant of $5 million in RSUs to Mr. Aarnes in recognition of his strong leadership of ADI and the Company’s desire to retain him. The special RSU award vests 50% on each of the third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. Unlike the standard annual RSU awards, the special RSU award does not provide for continued vesting in the event of Mr. Aarnes’ retirement. Other Components of Our Compensation Program
Severance Plan
Severance Plan Each of our NEOs participates in the Resideo Technologies, Inc. Severance Plan for Designated Officers (the “Severance Plan”). The Severance Plan addresses severance for our NEOs upon a termination following a change in control (“CIC”), considered a “double trigger”, and is intended to ensure the continued attention of our NEOs to their roles and responsibilities without the distraction that may arise from the possibility of a job loss concurrent with a CIC of the Company. In addition, the Severance Plan provides for severance payments and benefits that become payable if the employment of one of our NEOs is terminated by us without “cause” (as defined in the Severance Plan) subject to such individual signing and not revoking a release of claims.
Severance Plan
| 50 | 2024 PROXY STATEMENT | |
Severance Plan
The Committee has adopted the Severance Plan to provide competitive post-employment compensation arrangements that promote the continued attention, dedication and continuity of the members of our senior management team, including our NEOs, and enable us to continue to recruit talented senior executive officers. The Committee intends to periodically review the severance available to our NEOs under the Severance Plan to ensure ongoing competitiveness and alignment with our overall compensation philosophy. In response to the shareholder proposal that received 50.3% support at our 2023 annual meeting, and informed by feedback from our shareholders during 2023, the Compensation Committee adopted an Executive Officer Cash Severance Policy providing the following:
Severance Plan
| • | We will not enter into or amend a severance arrangement to provide payment of cash severance benefits to an executive officer exceeding 2.99 times the sum of the executive officer’s annual base salary plus the executive officer’s target annual cash incentive award without presenting it for advisory ratification at the next regularly scheduled annual meeting of shareholders. |
Severance Plan
The severance benefits provided to our NEOs are outlined in the Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control Table found later in this Proxy Statement.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan Executive officers (including the NEOs) may choose to participate in the Resideo Supplemental Savings Plan, a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that permits additional tax-deferred retirement savings options. The Resideo Supplemental Savings Plan has two components, the Deferred Incentive Program (“DIP”) and the Supplemental Savings Program (“SSP”). Executive officers can elect to defer up to 100% of their annual incentive award under the DIP component. In addition, under the SSP component, executive officers may also elect to defer eligible compensation that cannot be contributed to the Company’s 401(k) plan due to IRS limitations. The amounts contributed to the Supplemental Savings Plan are eligible for company matching credits, not to exceed 100% of the first 7% contributed combined between the SSP and the Company’s 401(k) plan. The participant account balances in the SSP are subject to gains and losses, based on the returns of the Fidelity® U.S. Bond Index Fund.

Pension Benefit Calculation Formulas
| • | The Retirement Earnings Plan (“REP”) formula is used to determine the amount of pension benefits for each of our NEOs under the RPP and the SPP. Under this formula, benefits are paid as a lump sum equal to (a) 3% or 6% of final average compensation (the average of a participant’s annual compensation for the five calendar years that produces the highest average out of the previous 10 calendar years) multiplied by (b) credited service. |
Pension Benefit Calculation Formulas

Pension and Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
Pension and Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation 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 the applicable proxy statement disclosure requirements, even though they may become payable at the times specified in the table. If an executive who participates in the RSSP terminates employment with Resideo, the balance of that executive’s SSP or DIP account will be paid to the executive in June of the year following his or her termination. Similarly, if an executive who is a participant in the RPP or the SPP described above terminates employment, the executive’s balance in the pension plan will be paid to the executive 105 days after his or her termination date. The following table summarizes estimated payments and benefits to which our NEOs would be entitled upon the hypothetical occurrence of various termination scenarios or a CIC. The information in the table below is based on the assumption, in each case, that the termination of employment occurred on December 31, 2023. None of these termination benefits are payable to NEOs who voluntarily resign (other than voluntary resignations for good reason as specified or certain qualifying retirements) or whose employment is terminated by us for cause.

Pension and Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
The amounts reflected in the first column related to involuntary termination unrelated to a CIC, as well as the final two columns specific to circumstances following a CIC, are based on the provisions of the Severance Plan, and the provisions of the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan.
Pension and Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
| (A) Pursuant to their offer letters, Messrs. Geldmacher and Trunzo are also entitled to receive the same severance benefits set forth here for termination by the Company without cause if they terminate their employment for good reason as defined in their offer letters. See “Compensatory Arrangements with NEOs” above for additional information. |
Pension and Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
| (1) Severance amounts in the event of involuntary termination not related to a CIC represent a cash payment equal to 24 months of annual base salary for Mr. Geldmacher and 18 months of annual base salary for the other NEOs. Severance amounts related to an involuntary termination or termination for good reason related to a CIC represent a cash payment equal to 24 months of annual base salary, based on the highest base salary paid during the preceding 36 months, as well as two times the NEO’s annual incentive calculated based on the greater of the average annual incentive target for the preceding 3 years or the NEO’s current target annual incentive compensation. In addition to the severance benefits reported in the table, pursuant to a letter agreement between the Company and Mr. Theodore described above, if Mr. Theodore’s employment is involuntarily terminated without cause before December 5, 2024, and subject to his compliance with certain restrictive covenants, Mr. Theodore would also be entitled to ((i) continued vesting of any unvested stock options from the grant he received September 28, 2021 and (ii) an extension of the expiration date for all stock options granted to him on September 28, 2021 to September 27, 2028. |
Pension and Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
| (2) No severance amounts for the year of termination are reported for an involuntary termination without cause unrelated to a CIC; however, in the limited circumstance such termination occurs in connection with a reduction-in-force between December 31, 2023 and the payment date, the NEO would be entitled to receive the payout if the NEO signs a release. |
Pension and Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
| (3) In addition to the amounts reflected in the final column, if an NEO is terminated without cause in situations following a CIC, the NEO will also be entitled to a pro-rated Annual Incentive Award for the period of employment during the year of termination. |
Pension and Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
| (4) Amounts represent the intrinsic value of RSUs and PSUs as of December 31, 2023 for which the vesting would be accelerated pursuant to the award terms described above. The value included for RSUs and PSUs is the product of the number of units for which vesting would be accelerated and $18.82, the closing price of Resideo common stock on December 31, 2023. |
Pension and Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
| (5) The amounts reflected represent the Company’s cost for continuation of benefits, such as medical, dental, vision and life insurance, for the Salary Continuation Period as defined under the Severance Plan. |
Pension and Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
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. Jay Geldmacher, our President and Chief Executive Officer (the CEO). For 2023, our last completed fiscal year:
Pension and Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
| • | the annual total compensation of our median employee was $36,813; and |
Pension and Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
| • | the annual total compensation of our CEO as reported in the Summary Compensation Table of this proxy statement on page 53 was $15,207,609. |
Pension and Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
Based on this information, for 2023, the ratio of the annual total annualized compensation of Mr. Geldmacher, our CEO, to the annual total compensation of the median employee was estimated to be 413 to 1. This 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 below. To identify our median employee for 2023, we considered our global population as of October 1, 2023 (the “Measurement Date”). As of the Measurement Date, our total global employee population (excluding our CEO) consisted of approximately 14,315 individuals.

To identify the “median employee” from our total global employee population (excluding our CEO), we aggregated annual total base salary and actual incentive awards paid during 2023, including bonuses and commissions. We also annualized the compensation of all newly hired permanent employees who were employed on the measurement date, for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2023, as permitted under SEC rules. All non-U.S. pay components were converted to U.S. dollars using the same currency exchange rates in effect in our financial records at October 1, 2023.

Once we identified the median employee, we determined the median employee’s total compensation by applying the same rules required to report NEO compensation on the Summary Compensation Table. 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 above, 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 Under the rules of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, we are providing the information below to illustrate the relationship between the SEC-defined compensation actually paid (“CAP”) and various measures used to gauge the Company’s financial performance in conformance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. CAP is calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and differs from compensation shown in the Summary Compensation Table on page 53 and CEO and other NEO performance year compensation tables shown on pages 48 and 49, respectively. See below for a reconciliation of the total compensation shown in the Summary Compensation Table to CAP. Resideo’s Compensation and Human Capital Management Committee makes executive compensation decisions independent of SEC disclosure requirements and reviews a variety of Company-wide and individual factors to link executive compensation actually paid with Company and executive performance. See “Com p ensation Discussion and Analysis” above for a discussion of our decision-making process.

Ratification of the Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Under its written charter, the Audit Committee of the Board has sole authority and is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, oversight, evaluation and termination of the independent registered public accounting firm retained to audit the Company’s financial statements. The Audit Committee evaluated the qualifications, performance and independence of the Company’s independent auditors and based on its evaluation, has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2024. Deloitte served as the independent auditor of Resideo during 2023. The Audit Committee and the Board believe that the retention of Deloitte to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Audit Committee is responsible for the approval of the engagement fees and terms associated with the retention of Deloitte. In addition to assuring the regular rotation of the lead audit partner as required by law, the Audit Committee will be involved in the selection and evaluation of the lead audit partner and considers whether, in order to assure continuing auditor independence, there should be a regular rotation of the independent registered public accounting firm. Although the By-Laws do not require that we seek shareholder ratification of the appointment of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm, we are doing so as a matter of good corporate governance. If the shareholders do not ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain Deloitte. Representatives of Deloitte are expected to be present at the annual meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions by shareholders.
