How does our executive compensation program align pay with performance?
| ● | Performance Metrics. We use metrics that are designed to recognize and reward executive actions and decisions that drive long-term strategy, maximize performance and deliver results for our shareowners and customers. | | ● | “At-Risk” Compensation. The largest portion of compensation for our Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”) is “at-risk” compensation—annual and long-term incentive (“LTI”) awards that are contingent upon Company performance in our key metrics (see page 5) and our stock price performance. |
2024 Pay Decisions
2024 Pay Decisions In making annual pay decisions, the HCC Committee focuses primarily on “total direct compensation,” which includes our three principal elements of executive compensation: base salary, annual incentives and LTI. Total direct compensation is set each year to reflect the HCC Committee’s assessment of Company, business unit and individual performance. 2024 total direct compensation for each NEO includes 2024 base salary, 2024 annual incentives paid in the first quarter of 2025 and the LTI grant values approved by the HCC Committee in February 2025, which were based on its assessment of 2024 performance and the competitive market pay for each NEO’s role. The February 2024 LTI award grant date fair values (accounting values at the time of grant) shown in the Summary Compensation Table on page 69 reflect the HCC Committee’s assessment of 2023 performance and the competitive market pay for each NEO’s role at the time of grant. 2024 LTI is, therefore, excluded from 2024 total direct compensation. Total direct compensation, as presented below, also uses year-end salary levels and does not reflect any salary changes that occurred during the year, as the Summary Compensation Table does. For more details on our principal elements of compensation, see pages 48-54, and on total direct compensation, see page 56. The table below shows 2024 total direct compensation for our NEOs, as described on the prior page.

2024 Performance Metrics
2024 Performance Metrics The HCC Committee believes that the metrics used for our annual and LTI plans are strong indicators of the long-term health of the Company and measure particularly important aspects of Company performance, therefore serving the fundamental objective of our executive compensation program.

How 2024 Performance Affected Incentive Payouts
| WHAT IS CHANGING FOR 2025? As we look to 2025, we are laser focused on achieving the financial commitments we have made to our investors for 2025. As a result, the HCC Committee determined that the funding formula for the 2025 AIP will be solely based on the financial performance of the Company and our business units. Performance for our Corporate executives will be measured 50% on earnings and 50% on free cash flow. For our business unit executives, earnings and free cash flow will be measured at both the RTX- and business unit-level—each weighted at 25%. |

Compensation Risk Oversight
| Sound Incentive Plan Design | Our annual and long-term incentive plans use complementary performance metrics that are essential indicators of RTX’s financial health. The HCC Committee establishes financial performance goals that are challenging, yet realistic, and maintains the ability to use its discretion to adjust payouts under our annual incentive plan (“AIP”) to the extent it believes the calculated results do not accurately reflect the overall quality of performance for the year. Further, payouts for both AIP and PSUs are capped at 200% of target. | | Emphasis on Long-Term Performance | Long-term incentives (“LTI”) are the cornerstone of RTX’s executive compensation program. Our LTI program incorporates long-term financial performance metrics that are designed to align executive interests with shareowner interests. | | Rigorous Share Ownership Requirements | RTX maintains significant share ownership requirements for our senior executives and directors, which are intended to reduce risk by aligning their economic interests with those of our shareowners. A significant stake in future performance discourages the pursuit of short-term opportunities that can create excessive risk. See pages 36-37 for more information. |
Political Activities and Public Policy Engagement
| Compensation of Directors |
DEFERRED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
DEFERRED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS Directors appointed to the Board before October 2019 received a one-time deferred restricted stock unit (“RSU”) award. This award vested in equal portions over five years, but distribution does not occur until a director retires from the Board. Non-employee directors appointed after October 2019 did not receive a deferred RSU award upon joining the Board. All deferred RSUs held by directors are fully vested.
PLAN DISTRIBUTIONS
PLAN DISTRIBUTIONS DSUs and deferred RSUs are not distributed to directors until they retire from the Board. Upon retirement, RTX DSUs and deferred RSUs are converted into shares of RTX Common Stock. For our legacy UTC directors, upon the 2020 spinoff by UTC of Carrier and Otis, DSUs and deferred RSUs originally based in UTC stock were converted into DSUs and deferred RSUs in the stock of RTX, Carrier and Otis. When these directors retire from the RTX Board, the Carrier and Otis DSUs and deferred RSUs (if any) will be distributed in cash. Directors can elect to receive distributions in either a lump sum or in 10- or 15-year installments.

2024 Director Compensation
| (1) Reflects the portion of the directors’ annual retainer paid in cash. Messrs. Oliver, Rogers and Winnefeld, Jr. and Ms. Ramos elected to receive their annual cash retainer in DSUs, as detailed in footnote (2). | | (2) Reflects the grant date fair value of DSU awards credited to the director’s account, including any portion of the annual cash retainer that the director elected to receive as DSUs. The value of DSU awards is calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 using assumptions described in Note 19: Stock Based Compensation, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in RTX’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The number of units credited to each director in 2024 was calculated by dividing the value of the award by the NYSE closing price per share of RTX Common Stock on May 2, 2024, which was the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareowners, or for retainers paid to directors upon joining the Board or being appointed to a leadership role (if applicable), the RTX closing stock price on the grant date. DSU awards are credited with additional units each time the Company pays a dividend to shareowners and are restricted from distribution while a non-employee director serves on the Board. | | (3) Amounts in this column include incidental benefits and matching contributions to eligible nonprofit organizations under the Company’s matching charitable gift program that covers non-employee directors, as well as Company employees. The Company’s matching charitable gifts paid in 2024 were as follows: Ms. Atkinson, $25,000; Ms. Caret, $25,000; Mr. Harris, Jr., $17,500; Ms. Pawlikowski, $2,500; Mr. Reynolds, $25,000; Mr. Rogers, $25,000; Mr. Winnefeld, Jr., $25,000; and Mr. Work, $6,300. | | (4) Ms. Caret was appointed to the role of Audit Committee Chair effective February 15, 2024. As a result, during 2024, Ms. Caret was paid: (i) 50% of the Audit Committee retainer for the 2024/2025 Board cycle; and (ii) 100% of the base annual retainer for the 2024/2025 Board cycle. | | (5) Mr. Ortberg retired from the Board effective July 31, 2024. |
2024 Director Compensation
| CHANGES TO DIRECTOR COMPENSATION FOR 2025 In its review of directors’ compensation for the May 2025 to May 2026 Board cycle, the Governance Committee increased the base retainer from $325,000 to $345,000 to better align with the competitive market. This change will become effective on May 1, 2025, the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareowners. |

2024 Total Direct Compensation
2024 Total Direct Compensation In making annual pay decisions, the HCC Committee focuses primarily on “total direct compensation,” which includes our three principal elements of executive compensation: base salary, annual incentives and long-term incentives (“LTI”). These elements are discussed in detail on pages 48-54. Total direct compensation is set each year to reflect the HCC Committee’s assessment of Company, business unit and individual performance for the year. 2024 total direct compensation includes 2024 base salary, 2024 annual incentives paid in the first quarter of 2025 and the February 2025 LTI grant values approved by the HCC Committee, which were based on its assessment of 2024 performance and the competitive market pay for each NEO’s role. This differs from the February 2024 LTI award grant date fair values (accounting values at the time of grant) shown in the Summary Compensation Table on page 69, which were based on the HCC Committee’s assessment of 2023 performance and the competitive market pay for each NEO’s role at that time. For more details on total direct compensation, see page 56. The following chart shows the 2024 total direct compensation of our NEOs:
2024 Total Direct Compensation

Roles and Responsibilities
| Human Capital & Compensation Committee | | Oversees our programs | | ● Sets financial, strategic and operational goals and objectives for the Company, our business units, the Executive Chairman and the CEO, as they relate to the Company’s annual and long-term incentive programs. ● Assesses Company, business unit and NEO performance relative to the preestablished goals and objectives set for the year. ● Evaluates the competitiveness of officers’ compensation and approves compensation adjustments, as appropriate. ● Approves program design for executive severance, change-in-control, supplemental benefit arrangements and the Company’s Executive Leadership Group (“ELG”) program. ● Appoints executives to the ELG. ● Reviews risk assessments as they relate to RTX’s compensation plans, policies and practices. ● Considers shareowner input regarding executive compensation decisions and policies. ● Reviews the Company’s human capital management initiatives. ● Engages an independent consultant, including approving the consultant’s compensation, determining the nature and scope of its services, evaluating its performance, terminating the engagement and replacing or adding consultants as needed. |
2024 Independent Consultant Engagement
2024 Independent Consultant Engagement In early 2024, the HCC Committee again engaged FW Cook as its independent consultant for the year. Prior to the engagement, it reviewed the firm’s qualifications, independence and any potential conflicts of interest. FW Cook did not perform other services for or receive other fees from the Company (except for an incidental amount of $10,000 for participation in certain business surveys). As a result, the HCC Committee determined that FW Cook qualified as an independent consultant. During 2024, FW Cook representatives attended all HCC Committee meetings. No other consulting firm made recommendations to the HCC Committee on RTX’s peer group composition or on the form, amount or design of executive compensation in 2024. However, the Company did obtain market data from other compensation consulting firms for various purposes, including benchmarking. Generally, such data is also available to other consulting clients of these firms.
Our Compensation Peer Group and Use of Market Data
Our Compensation Peer Group and Use of Market Data How We Use Peer Group Data. The HCC Committee believes that to keep our executive compensation program sufficiently competitive, the target value of each principal element of compensation should approximate the market median of the companies RTX views as competitors for senior executive talent. For this reason, we compare our executive compensation program to the programs of companies within our Compensation Peer Group (“CPG”). In addition, we use market data from the aerospace and defense sector, the Fortune 100 and a broader group of companies to gain insight into general compensation trends and to supplement CPG market data for benchmarking when the HCC Committee finds it necessary or appropriate. The HCC Committee annually evaluates each compensation element relative to the market for each officer’s role and makes adjustments as appropriate. However, individual compensation may vary from market median benchmarks based on its assessment of other factors that it considers relevant, including Company, business unit, function and/or individual performance, job scope, retention risk, internal pay equity and sustained performance over time. How Our Compensation Peer Group is Constructed. The CPG is composed of a mix of industry and non-industry peers. The HCC Committee believes these 20 companies provide a relevant comparison based on their similarity to RTX in size, geographic footprint and operational complexity, taking into account factors such as revenue, market capitalization, global scope of operations, manufacturing footprint, research and development activities, and technology and engineering focus. During 2024, there were no changes to the composition of the CPG. As competitors for executive talent, the CPG is used solely for the purpose of benchmarking executive compensation, and not as a financial performance metric in our incentive compensation programs.

Annual Incentive Awards
Annual Incentive Awards Annual incentive awards, which are granted under the RTX Corporation Executive Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”), are an integral component of our executive compensation program. The AIP reinforces Company and business unit goals, promotes the achievement of these goals and enables us to attract, retain and motivate the highest caliber of executive talent.
HOW ANNUAL INCENTIVE AWARDS ARE DETERMINED
HOW ANNUAL INCENTIVE AWARDS ARE DETERMINED The following formula is the basis for determining the 2024 annual incentive awards for our NEOs: Though performance relative to preestablished financial and Corporate Responsibility Scorecard goals is the primary basis for determining the performance factors under the AIP, the HCC Committee retains the right to make discretionary adjustments to how it measures annual incentive performance to maintain the integrity of the targets as originally established. In the past, it has made both positive and negative adjustments. Examples of situations that could result in discretionary adjustments include:
HOW ANNUAL INCENTIVE AWARDS ARE DETERMINED
| ● | Significant, unforeseen circumstances beyond management’s control that affected performance relative to the established goals, including certain nonrecurring charges and credits unrelated to operating performance | | ● | Changes in tax laws and accounting rules that positively or negatively impact performance | | ● | Changes to the Company’s capital structure (restructuring, acquisitions and divestitures) |
HOW ANNUAL INCENTIVE AWARDS ARE DETERMINED
In addition, each NEO begins the year with individual financial, strategic and/ or operational objectives. Based on the CEO’s performance assessment for the NEOs (other than himself and the Executive Chairman), it may be recommended that the HCC Committee increase or decrease the award a NEO would otherwise receive based on the approved performance factor. The HCC Committee considers these recommendations and makes adjustments it deems appropriate. The individual performance adjustments for our executive officers may range from a -100% adjustment to the performance factor (e.g., a zero payout), up to a 30% increase to the approved performance factor. However, no payout under the AIP can be greater than 200% of target. In addition, when determining individual performance adjustments, the HCC Committee also considers each executive’s responsibility to act at all times in accordance with our Code of Conduct, Company policies and compliance requirements.
2024 ANNUAL INCENTIVE TARGETS
2024 ANNUAL INCENTIVE TARGETS Each NEO has an annual incentive target that is expressed as a percentage of the NEO’s base salary as in effect on December 1, 2024. These targets are based on relevant market data for each NEO’s role and generally approximate the median of our peers. Changes in target percentages that occur during the year (usually due to a change in role) are prorated. Due to their appointments into new roles during 2024, the HCC Committee increased targets for Messrs. Calio, Jasper and Brunk and decreased Mr. Hayes’ target, as shown below:
2024 ANNUAL INCENTIVE TARGETS
| NEO | 2023 | 2024 | | Christopher T. Calio | 150% | 175% | | Neil G. Mitchill, Jr. | 115% | 115% | | Gregory J. Hayes | 200% | 125% | | Shane G. Eddy | 105% | 105% | | Philip J. Jasper | 80% | 105% | | Troy D. Brunk | 80% | 105% | | Stephen J. Timm | 105% | 105% |

2024 Performance Metrics and Weightings
2024 Performance Metrics and Weightings The charts below show the 2024 performance metrics and weightings for our Corporate and business unit executives.
2024 Performance Metrics and Weightings
| | Financial Goals | | Corporate Responsibility Scorecard (“CRS”) | | | | Earnings | Free Cash Flow (“FCF”) | People & Culture | Sustainability | | Corporate Executives Funding based entirely on Company-wide performance | | | | | | Business Unit Executives Funding based equally on business unit performance and Company-wide performance for financial metrics, and entirely on Company-wide performance for CRS metrics Company-Wide Business Unit | | | | |
2024 Performance Metrics and Weightings
As shown above, for our Corporate executives, performance for all metrics is measured on a Company-wide basis. For business unit executives, including Messrs. Eddy, Jasper, Brunk and Timm, our financial metrics relate to both business unit results and Company-wide results, while CRS performance is measured solely at the RTX level. The HCC Committee believes that financial metrics should motivate our business unit executives both to deliver on customer commitments and to leverage Company-wide resources to advance technology and innovation. Payout funding ranges from 0% to 200% of target for all metrics.

| | Company-Wide Metrics | | Business Unit Metrics | | | | RTX Earnings | RTX FCF | Business Unit Earnings | Business Unit FCF | | How are AIP financial metrics defined? | We start with a GAAP measure: RTX’s net income attributable to common shareowners.(1) | We start by subtracting one GAAP measure from another: RTX’s consolidated net cash flow from operating activities, less RTX’s capital expenditures.(1) | We start with a GAAP measure: segment operating income.(1) | We start with an internal measure based on business unit net cash flow from operating activities, less business unit capital expenditures. | | | Then we adjust for the impact of certain items and external events unrelated to our operating performance. These may include, in any given year, changes in tax laws and accounting rules, restructuring costs, the impact of acquisitions and divestitures (including acquisition accounting adjustments, if applicable), and significant and/or nonrecurring items. See Appendix B on page 114 for additional details. | | | | | Why did the HCC Committee choose these metrics? | The HCC Committee believes adjusted net income is relevant because it measures the immediate impact of operating decisions on RTX’s overall performance, and includes the impact of items such as tax, interest and foreign exchange fluctuations, which are managed at the Corporate level. | The HCC Committee believes that FCF performance is a relevant measure of our ability to generate cash to fund our operations and key business investments and to return capital to our shareowners. | The HCC Committee believes that operating income, exclusive of tax, interest and foreign exchange exposure, should be the focus of our business units. | The HCC Committee believes that FCF performance is a relevant measure of the business units’ ability to generate cash to fund their operations and key business investments. |

| (1) As reported in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. |
Why we use non-GAAP financial metrics for our annual incentives
Why we use non-GAAP financial metrics for our annual incentives The HCC Committee believes that, to encourage decision-making aimed at long-term value creation, annual incentives should reflect the financial impact (positive or negative) of short-term decisions made in the best interest of RTX’s long-term business strategies. Through the adjustments noted above, our non-GAAP metrics allow for a clearer assessment of business performance and more closely align our AIP with the annual non-GAAP financial expectations we communicate to shareowners.
OUR CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY SCORECARD
OUR CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY SCORECARD For 2024, our AIP Corporate Responsibility Scorecard was comprised of two categories:
OUR CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY SCORECARD
| ● | Sustainability. Measures our progress toward our long-term environmental sustainability objectives through two annual metrics: greenhouse gas emissions and water usage. | | ● | People & Culture. Measures our ability to attract and retain employees with a broad range of experiences, backgrounds and perspectives needed to drive the innovation required to propel RTX and our industry forward. To measure this, we use two annual metrics: total representation and employee retention. |
HOW WE PERFORMED ON OUR 2024 FINANCIAL GOALS
HOW WE PERFORMED ON OUR 2024 FINANCIAL GOALS The HCC Committee established goals for earnings and free cash flow at threshold, target and maximum performance levels, both for the Company overall and for each business unit. Performance relative to these goals determines the financial performance factors used to fund the annual incentive pool for Corporate executives and for executives in each business unit. For 2024, AIP earnings and free cash flow goals were set to align with the expectations we communicated to investors for the year. Performance below the threshold level will result in 0% funding for that metric, while performance above the maximum level cannot exceed the maximum funding level of 200%. Performance that falls between the threshold, target and maximum levels results in funding between the applicable levels.

LTI Awards
LTI Awards
LTI MIX
LTI MIX The HCC Committee annually reviews the design of our LTI awards to ensure consistency with our program’s fundamental objective of aligning the interests of executives and shareowners while attracting and retaining talented senior leaders. In 2024, the LTI mix for our NEOs, except for Mr. Brunk, was 60% PSUs and 40% SARs. The HCC Committee believes each LTI vehicle serves a specific objective:
LTI MIX
| ● | PSUs encourage the achievement of important financial goals and align payouts with the shareowner experience. | | ● | SARs motivate prudent long-term decision making and have strong pay-for-performance alignment since they have no value unless the stock price increases from the price on the grant date. |
LTI MIX
Mr. Brunk’s annual LTI award was granted in February 2024 before he was appointed to the role of President, Collins Aerospace in July 2024. As a result, his 2024 LTI award comprised of a different LTI mix (40% PSUs, 40% SARs and 20% RSUs) than our other NEOs.
PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS
PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS 2024–2026 PSUs. 2024 PSUs will vest following the end of a three-year performance period, subject to Company performance relative to preestablished financial performance goals. Executives must also be employed by the Company on the vesting date, with exceptions for death, disability, qualifying separation within two years of a change-in-control, retirement and certain involuntary terminations. PSUs are designed to deliver market median compensation at target levels of performance. Below- or above-target performance will result in variations from market median payouts. If performance is at target for all four metrics, 100% of the PSUs granted would vest at the end of the performance period. Vesting factors can range from 0% if all metrics fall below threshold-level performance to 200% if all metrics meet or exceed maximum-level performance. Each PSU converts into one share of RTX Common Stock upon vesting. The goals established for our 2024–2026 PSUs are as follows:

PERFORMANCE GOALS AND WEIGHTINGS FOR 2024–2026 PSUs
What the HCC Committee Considers when Setting Performance Goals and Measuring Performance. When setting adjusted EPS and ROIC goals for our PSU awards, the HCC Committee considers various long-term business factors, including planned share buybacks, macroeconomic market trends and cost-reduction plans. As defined in Appendix B, adjusted EPS and ROIC exclude the impact of changes in tax laws and/or accounting rules, acquisitions and divestitures (including acquisition accounting adjustments), restructuring, nonrecurring and other significant, nonoperational items, nonoperating pension and postretirement income or expense, and changes in asset or liability valuations of deferred compensation plans recognized in interest income/expense. When measuring performance, the HCC Committee may also make adjustments (positively or negatively) to exclude certain items unrelated to operational performance when necessary to maintain the validity of the targets as originally formulated. Limit on Maximum Vesting Value. If the value of PSUs at vesting (number of PSUs vesting multiplied by the closing price of RTX Common Stock on the vesting date) is greater than 400% of the value of the PSUs at grant (number of PSUs that would vest at target-level performance multiplied by the closing RTX stock price on the grant date), the vesting factor will be reduced so that the value delivered to executives will be no greater than 400% of the grant value. 2022–2024 PSU Vesting. PSU awards granted on February 15, 2022, were subject to vesting based on RTX’s three-year performance relative to preestablished goals for each of the four metrics shown below. Our performance over the three-year period resulted in the award vesting at 110% of target.

2024 CEO Pay Decisions
Mr. Calio served as President & Chief Operating Officer until May 2, 2024, when he was appointed to the role of President & Chief Executive Officer of RTX. Base Salary. Mr. Calio received a base salary increase from $1,010,000 to $1,450,000 in connection with his appointment as President & CEO. Following this increase, Mr. Calio’s base salary was below the market median for his new role. Annual Incentive Award. The HCC Committee approved a performance factor of 114% of target for Corporate. The HCC Committee considered this factor, Mr. Calio’s leadership during 2024 and the individual performance considerations noted here, and approved an annual incentive award of $2.76 million. This amount is aligned with the Corporate performance factor. LTI. In consideration for Mr. Calio’s 2024 performance, the HCC Committee approved a 2025 LTI award of $17.15 million. This amount is an increase from his 2024 LTI award and is slightly below the CPG median for his role. Mr. Calio exhibited strong leadership, which resulted in:

| What is total direct compensation? |
2024 CEO Pay Decisions
In contrast to the Summary Compensation Table (on page 69), our discussion of CEO and NEO pay decisions in this Proxy Statement (pages 55-62) uses a measure called total direct compensation, which the HCC Committee believes provides a more accurate picture of its annual pay decisions and reflects its most recent assessment of Company, business unit and individual performance, and the competitive market for each NEO’s role. Total direct compensation includes 2024 base salary as of year-end, 2024 annual incentive for the completed performance year and LTI as described below.

How the HCC Committee Views LTI Award Values

How the HCC Committee Views LTI Award Values
The SEC rules require the LTI awards granted in February 2024 to be reported in the Summary Compensation Table of this Proxy Statement, with a different valuation methodology than we use for total direct compensation. In addition, the compensation values reported in the Summary Compensation Table include certain elements (e.g., changes in pension values, which are impacted by assumptions, such as interest rates and other formulaic compensation and benefit components) that we exclude from total direct compensation because they are not tied to performance and fall outside the scope of the HCC Committee’s annual pay decisions.

Severance and Change-in-Control Arrangements
Severance and Change-in-Control Arrangements
EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP GROUP PROGRAM
EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP GROUP PROGRAM The ELG program covers the Company’s most senior leaders and key executives who are potential successors to senior leadership roles. The program has been in place since 1989, but has been modified over the years to align with best practices and to serve the evolving needs of the Company. Current Program. The current ELG program, which covers all of our NEOs, except Mr. Hayes, provides an RSU award with a grant value depending on role (currently no less than $1.5 million) upon an executive’s appointment to the ELG. The ELG RSU award acts as both a retention vehicle and cash severance replacement tool. The HCC Committee believes ELG RSUs more closely align our executives with the interest of our shareowners than a cash severance payment would. ELG RSU awards vest only if there is a qualifying separation (defined on page 65) and the executive enters into an agreement containing certain restrictive covenants (explained on page 65). ELG RSUs earn dividend equivalents during the vesting period that are reinvested as additional RSUs each time the Company pays a dividend to shareowners. These RSUs are subject to the same vesting conditions as the underlying award. From time to time, the HCC Committee has granted ELG RSU awards to supplement the original ELG RSU award granted upon ELG appointment. These supplemental awards are generally intended to reinforce the long-term retention needs of the Company for certain critical ELG talent, or in conjunction with a role expansion. Supplemental ELG RSUs carry the same terms and conditions as the ELG RSU grant made upon ELG appointment. Legacy Program. Changes to the ELG separation benefit over the years have been applied prospectively due to existing contractual commitments. As a result, Mr. Hayes is eligible for an earlier iteration of the program that includes a cash payment equal to 2.5 times base salary upon a qualifying separation. The base salary that will be used to determine Mr. Hayes’ ELG separation benefit will be his last base salary in effect as CEO of RTX. The ELG separation benefit is not treated as compensation for purposes of determining benefits under the pension plans or any other benefit programs. ELG members are not eligible to participate in other Company-sponsored severance plans unless required by local law. Distributions are subject to certain restrictions imposed by IRC Section 409A. Qualifying Separation. Under the ELG program, a “qualifying separation” is defined as:
EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP GROUP PROGRAM
| ● | A mutually agreeable separation from the Company, including an ELG member’s position being eliminated or diminished by a divestiture, restructuring, shift in priorities or similar event following three years of ELG membership; | | ● | Retirement on or after age 62 following three years of ELG membership; or | | ● | Involuntary (not for cause) or voluntary (for good reason) terminations within two years after a change-in-control event. |
LEGACY UTC SENIOR EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PLAN
LEGACY UTC SENIOR EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PLAN Change-in-control severance protection under the legacy UTC Senior Executive Severance Plan (“SESP”) was designed to ensure continuity of management in potential change-in-control situations. In response to changing market practices, legacy UTC closed this program to new participants effective June 2009. Accordingly, Mr. Hayes is the only executive who remains eligible for the SESP benefit. All other ELG members instead are covered by the ELG program in a change-in-control event. The SESP cash severance benefit is equal to 2.99 times the sum of Mr. Hayes’ base salary and target annual incentive award for the year in which termination occurs, subject to various restrictive covenants. This benefit would be reduced by 1/36th for each month that termination occurs after age 62 and, accordingly, is completely phased out at age 65. Benefits under the SESP are subject to a “double trigger,” meaning that such benefits are provided only if a change-in-control is followed by an involuntary termination or termination by the executive for “good reason” within two years following a change-in-control. “Good reason” generally includes material, adverse changes in an executive’s compensation, responsibilities, authority, reporting relationship or work location.
RTX CORPORATION LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
RTX CORPORATION LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN Under the RTX Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (“RTX LTIP”), if a change-in-control event occurs and a plan participant has a qualifying termination within two years of that event, the vesting of outstanding LTI awards granted to such participant under the RTX LTIP would accelerate. For performance-based awards, performance goals would be deemed achieved at the greater of actual or target performance levels. A change-in-control is defined in the RTX LTIP to generally mean:
RTX CORPORATION LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
| ● | The acquisition by a person or a group of 20% or more of RTX’s outstanding shares or the combined voting power of RTX’s outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; | | ● | Incumbent directors no longer constituting a majority of the Board; | | ● | A merger or similar event where RTX shareowners own less than 50% of the voting shares of the new organization; or | | ● | A complete liquidation or dissolution is approved by RTX’s shareowners. |
RTX CORPORATION LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
A qualifying termination is defined in the RTX LTIP to mean:
RTX CORPORATION LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
| ● | An involuntary (not for cause) termination; or | | ● | A voluntary termination for “good reason” (as defined in the Plan). |
RTX CORPORATION CLAWBACK POLICY
RTX CORPORATION CLAWBACK POLICY The RTX Corporation Clawback Policy—our comprehensive policy on recoupment of compensation—covers all RTX employees. We have enhanced this policy several times over the years in response to shareowner feedback and to ensure that it continues to meet the evolving needs of the Company. Under this policy, in the event of a financial restatement (whether or not this involves misconduct on the part of the employee) or a recalculation of a financial metric affecting an award, the Company has the right to recover from any employee (including our NEOs and officers) annual incentive payments and gains realized from vested LTI awards (including both time-based and performance-based awards). Clawbacks of annual incentive awards and time-based and performance-based LTI awards, as well as of compensation realized from prior awards, also may be triggered by violations of our Code of Conduct, failure to adhere to employee health and safety standards, violations of post-employment restrictive covenants or the exposure of RTX to excessive risk, as determined under our Enterprise Risk Management program. In addition, we have the right to recover compensation when an employee’s negligence (including negligent supervision of a subordinate) causes significant harm to RTX. If required or otherwise appropriate, the Company may publicly disclose the circumstances surrounding the HCC Committee’s decision to seek recoupment. The Policy can be found on the Corporate Governance page of our website at https://www.rtx.com/who-we-are/corporate-governance#documents.
Equity Award Granting Policy
Equity Award Granting Policy In December 2024, the Company adopted the RTX Corporation Equity Award Granting Policy. The policy provides that, in order to minimize the risk of award decisions being made while the Company is in possession of material non-public information, it is the Company’s intent to grant equity-based awards on regularly scheduled predetermined dates that fall outside of the period beginning four trading days before, and ending one trading day after, the filing or furnishing of any periodic report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, or any current report on Form 8-K that discloses material non-public information (“Grant Restriction Period”). As outlined in the policy, annual equity-based awards to Company executives are to be granted within the two-week period following the first regularly scheduled Board or HCC Committee meeting for the year. From time to time, the Company may also grant equity-based awards in connection with a new hire, promotion, retention or for various other reasons. Such grants are to be made on the first trading day of each month, unless the HCC Committee approves an exception. If such planned date falls within a Grant Restriction Period, the grant date shall be postponed, to the extent practicable, to the first trading day following the Grant Restriction Period. The RTX Corporation Board of Directors Deferred Stock Unit Plan outlines the grant timing for non-employee directors. Under the Plan, non-employee directors are granted annual Deferred Stock Unit awards on the date of our Annual Meeting of Shareowners. New directors joining the Board may be granted a whole or partial annual DSU award on the date they join the Board. For Board members appointed to a leadership role outside of the standard Board cycle, the grant date is the date of appointment.
Employment Agreements
Employment Agreements As a general matter, the HCC Committee does not believe that fixed-term executive employment contracts guaranteeing minimum levels of compensation over multiple years enhance shareowner value. Accordingly, our U.S.-based executives do not have such contracts. However, in rare cases involving mergers and acquisitions, the HCC Committee has found such contracts to be in the Company’s best interests. In addition, over the years, the Company has acquired companies whose employees have existing contractual agreements. We also enter into employment agreements with executives based outside the U.S. when local regulations and practices require such agreements.

Summary Compensation Table
| (1) Salary. Base salary shown includes any midyear adjustments. | | (2) Bonus. Annual incentive awards provided under the RTX Corporation Executive Annual Incentive Plan are primarily based on measured performance against preestablished goals (as detailed on pages 49-52). However, the Human Capital & Compensation Committee (the “HCC Committee”) retains discretion to adjust annual incentive award amounts based on its assessment of overall performance. Consequently, we report annual incentive awards in the Bonus column rather than in a Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column. | | (3) Stock Awards. Amounts shown include the grant date fair value of PSUs (with vesting assumed at 100% of target) and RSUs granted in 2024 under the RTX Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (“RTX LTIP”). The assumptions made in calculating the fair value of these awards are set forth in Note 19: Stock Based Compensation, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in RTX’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2024 Form 10-K”). For the 2024 PSUs, if the highest level of performance is achieved for all performance metrics, the grant date fair values would be: Mr. Calio, $13,570,956; Mr. Mitchill, $5,529,049; Mr. Hayes, $10,052,956; Mr. Eddy, $3,421,304; Mr. Jasper, $3,364,555; Mr. Brunk $670,350; and Mr. Timm, $4,523,906. |

| (4) Option Awards. Amounts shown include the grant date fair value of SARs granted under the RTX LTIP during 2024. The assumptions made in the valuation of these awards are set forth in Note 19: Stock Based Compensation, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in RTX’s 2024 Form 10-K. | | (5) Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings. The amounts in this column reflect the change (if any) in the year-over-year actuarial present value of each NEO’s accrued benefit under the Company’s defined benefit plans and above-market earnings (if any) under the Company’s deferred compensation plans. The following NEOs had a negative change in present value of pension benefits from the prior year and as a result, per SEC rules, the change in present value of pension benefits included in this column is shown as zero: Mr. Calio, ($6,657); Mr. Hayes, ($850,942); Mr. Jasper, ($6,624); Mr. Brunk, ($4,777); and Mr. Timm, ($4,264). The legacy UTC pension plans were closed effective December 31, 2019, and the legacy Rockwell Collins pension plans were closed on September 30, 2006. As a result, for our NEOs, the change in pension value is entirely attributable to year-over-year changes in pension plan actuarial assumptions. Mr. Mitchill was hired after the legacy UTC pension plans were closed to new participants. Actuarial value computations are based on the assumptions established in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 715 and are discussed in Note 10: Employee Benefit Plans, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in RTX’s 2024 Form 10-K. RTX’s deferred compensation plans do not provide above-market rates of return except for the frozen Sundstrand Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan, which was assumed by the Company upon its acquisition of Sundstrand Corporation in 1999. Mr. Hayes accrued $17,732 in above-market earnings under this plan in 2024. | | (6) All Other Compensation. The 2024 amounts in this column consist of the following items shown in the table below. See page 64 for details on executive perquisites and other benefits. |

Summary Compensation Table
| (a) Incremental variable operating costs incurred for personal air travel, which includes fuel (calculated on the basis of aircraft-specific average consumption rates and fleet average fuel costs), fleet average landing and handling fees, crew lodging and meal allowances, and catering and hourly maintenance contract charges, when applicable. Because fleet-wide aircraft utilization is primarily for business purposes, capital and other fixed expenditures are not treated as an incremental cost. | | (b) Reflects premiums paid on an enhanced basic life insurance benefit equal to three times base salary. | | (c) Costs associated with Mr. Hayes’ relocation, including tax reimbursement payments of $88,915. | | (d) Amounts represent total Company contributions into the Company’s defined contribution plans—the qualified RTX Corporation Savings Plan and the nonqualified RTX Corporation Compensation Deferral Plan.

Further, RTX’s senior executives participate in community and philanthropic activities for the benefit of the Company. This may include attending various cultural, charitable, civic, entertainment and sporting events for business development and relationship-building purposes and/or community involvement, and may require the purchase of tickets, catering and parking. Tickets may also be used for team-building events and sometimes are provided to employees, including our senior executives, for personal use; the incremental cost of such use is included in this column. | | (7) Mr. Calio served as President & Chief Operating Officer until May 2, 2024, at which point he was appointed to the role of President & Chief Executive Officer. | | (8) Mr. Hayes served as Chairman & Chief Executive Officer until May 2, 2024, at which point he continued in the role of Executive Chairman. Mr. Hayes’ annual incentive award was prorated using his base salary and annual incentive target for the time he served as CEO (January 1, 2024 to May 1, 2024) and his base salary and annual incentive target for the time he served as Executive Chairman (May 2, 2024 to December 31, 2024). | | (9) Mr. Jasper served as President, Mission Systems at Collins Aerospace until January 7, 2024, at which point he was appointed to the role of President, Raytheon. | | (10) Mr. Brunk served as President, Avionics until January 7, 2024, and President, Mission Systems until July 17, 2024 (both at Collins Aerospace), at which point he was appointed to the role of President, Collins Aerospace. | | (11) Mr. Timm served as President, Collins Aerospace until July 17, 2024, and continued in a transitional capacity as Special Advisor, Collins Aerospace until his retirement in March 2025. |

| (1) Reflects the number of PSUs granted under the RTX LTIP during 2024, which vest based on Company performance relative to four performance metrics and the executive’s continued employment, except in the case of death, disability, qualifying separation within two years of a change-in-control, retirement or certain involuntary terminations. Vesting occurs following the three-year performance period with payouts ranging from 3.75%, if threshold performance is achieved for one of the TSR metrics that are weighted at 15%, to a maximum payout of 200%, if maximum performance is achieved for all four metrics. If RTX’s three-year TSR is negative, the payout for each TSR portion of the award is capped at 100%, regardless of RTX’s performance relative to the companies within the S&P 500 Index and our Core A&D Peers. Unvested PSUs do not earn dividend equivalents. Vested PSUs are settled in unrestricted shares of RTX Common Stock at the end of the performance period following the HCC Committee’s review and approval of performance achievement levels. | | (2) Reflects the number of SARs granted under the RTX LTIP during 2024, which vest and become exercisable three years from the grant date. Vesting is subject to the executive’s continued employment, except in the case of death, disability, qualifying separation within two years of a change-in-control, retirement and certain involuntary terminations.

Values are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 but exclude the effect of estimated forfeitures. | | (5) For the February 2024 LTI award, Mr. Brunk received a different LTI mix than our other NEOs (see page 53 for details). His award included RSUs that vest three years from the grant date, subject to the executive’s continued employment, except in the case of death, disability, qualifying separation within two years of a change-in-control, retirement and certain involuntary terminations. Each time the Company pays a dividend to shareowners, dividend equivalents are reinvested as additional RSUs. The reinvested RSUs vest on the same date as the underlying RSUs. | | (6) ELG RSUs granted to Mr. Brunk in connection with his appointment to the ELG and to the role of President, Collins Aerospace. ELG RSUs vest in the event of a qualifying separation (as defined under the ELG program and detailed on pages 64-65), death or disability.

| (1) SARs scheduled to vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to the executive’s continued employment with the Company, except in the case of death, disability, qualifying separation within two years of a change-in-control, retirement and certain involuntary terminations. SARs granted on February 15, 2022, vested on February 15, 2025. | | (2) The exercise price of each SAR is equal to the NYSE closing price of RTX Common Stock on the grant date. However, for SARs granted prior to April 3, 2020, exercise prices shown were adjusted upon the spinoffs of Carrier and Otis, in accordance with plan rules and the Employee Matters Agreement, as amended. | | (3) Calculated by multiplying the number of unvested RSUs by the NYSE closing price of RTX Common Stock on the last trading day of 2024. | | (4) PSUs scheduled to vest following the three-year performance/time-based vesting period. Vesting is subject to Company performance relative to preestablished performance goals and the executive’s continued employment with the Company, except in the case of death, disability, qualifying separation within two years of a change-in-control, retirement and certain involuntary terminations. PSUs are settled following the HCC Committee’s certification of performance achievement levels. Pursuant to SEC rules, the number of shares shown with respect to PSU awards granted in 2023 and 2024 assumes maximum-level performance, based on vesting estimates as of December 31, 2024. For PSUs granted on February 15, 2022, a performance factor of 110% is shown, reflecting the number of shares that vested on February 15, 2024. | | (5) Calculated by multiplying the number of unvested PSUs by the NYSE closing price of RTX Common Stock on the last trading day of 2024. | | (6) ELG RSUs vest in the event of a qualifying separation (as defined under the ELG program and detailed on pages 64-65), death or disability. Each time the Company pays a dividend to shareowners, dividend equivalents are reinvested as additional RSUs. The reinvested RSUs vest on the same date as the underlying RSUs. | | (7) RSUs scheduled to vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to the executive’s continued employment with the Company, except in the case of death, disability, qualifying separation within two years of a change-in-control, retirement and certain involuntary terminations.

Pension Benefits
Pension Benefits Overview of Plans. Like many other RTX employees, some of our NEOs were previously employed by companies that we acquired over the years. Benefit accruals earned under the Company’s pension plans depend upon the employee’s legacy company, the date the employee was hired and the pension formula in use at the time of the accrual. For our current NEOs, the following Company pension plans apply: RTX Consolidated Pension Plan: A tax-qualified, defined benefit plan that is an accumulation of all qualified pension plans of our legacy companies.
Pension Benefits
| ● | For legacy UTC participants, such as Messrs. Calio, Hayes and Eddy, annual compensation and annual retirement benefits up to IRC limits are recognized through December 31, 2019, the date the relevant plan was frozen. | | ● | For legacy Rockwell Collins participants, such as Messrs. Jasper, Brunk and Timm, annual compensation and annual retirement benefits up to IRC limits are recognized through September 30, 2006, the date the relevant plan was frozen. |
Pension Benefits
UTC Pension Preservation Plan (“UTC PPP”): An unfunded, nonqualified defined benefit plan that mirrors the benefit formulas, retirement eligibility provisions and vesting requirements that applied to legacy UTC and Rockwell Collins participants, respectively, under the RTX Consolidated Pension Plan, but provides benefits that could not be accrued under the qualified plan due to IRC limits. The Rockwell Collins Non-Qualified Pension Plan was merged into the UTC PPP in 2018. Benefit formulas under the UTC PPP were frozen at the same time as their equivalent qualified pension plans.
Pension Formula
he same time as their equivalent qualified pension plans. Pension Formula Legacy UTC: Legacy UTC employees hired prior to July 1, 2002, were eligible for a final average earnings (“FAE”) formula through December 31, 2014. After that, they transitioned to a Cash Balance formula (which was already in use for those hired on or after July 1, 2002, and before January 1, 2010). The legacy UTC pension plans were frozen on December 31, 2019. There was no pension benefit for those hired in 2010 or later. Mr. Hayes accrued benefits under both the FAE and Cash Balance formulas, while Messrs. Calio and Eddy accrued benefits under the Cash Balance formula only. Mr. Mitchill was hired after January 1, 2010, and was never eligible to participate in the legacy UTC pension plans. The legacy UTC FAE formula and Cash Balance formula are described in detail in our prior proxy statements. Legacy Rockwell Collins: For legacy Rockwell Collins employees, like Messrs. Jasper, Brunk and Timm, benefits were accrued under an FAE formula under the frozen Rockwell Collins qualified and nonqualified pension plans. Other formula: For Mr. Hayes, benefits shown in the table on page 76 also include amounts accrued under a FAE formula used in a Sundstrand Corporation pension plan that was merged into the legacy UTC pension plan upon UTC’s acquisition of Sundstrand Corporation in 1999. Distribution Options. Under the RTX Consolidated Pension Plan, legacy UTC participants can take distributions as either a lump sum or as annuity payments, while annuity payments are the only option for legacy Rockwell Collins participants. Under the UTC PPP, in addition to lump-sum and annuity payments, legacy UTC participants may elect annual installments over periods between two and ten years. For legacy Rockwell Collins participants of the UTC PPP, a lump-sum option is available on the post-2004 portion of the benefit, in addition to monthly annuity options. The form of payment for nonqualified plans is generally required to be elected in advance of leaving the Company. Retirement. For both legacy UTC and Rockwell Collins participants, the normal retirement age is 65, with early retirement benefits available under the FAE formula beginning at age 55. FAE benefits are reduced for early retirement prior to age 62. The value of the legacy UTC Cash Balance account is not impacted by an employee’s age at retirement. As of December 31, 2024, Messrs. Hayes, Jasper, Brunk and Timm were eligible for early

More specifically, discount rates ranging from 5.53% to 5.65% for the various pension plans, Pri-2012 mortality table with a plan-specific adjustment and MP-2021 to project future improvements are used. | | (2) The following additional assumptions are used to determine the present value of the accumulated pension benefit under the legacy UTC pension plans: (i) retirement at age 62 (or current age, if older) for FAE benefits (the earliest date a participant can retire without a reduction of benefits due to age) and at age 65 for Cash Balance benefits; (ii) projected lump-sum payments under the UTC Pension Preservation Plan are calculated using a lump-sum interest rate of 2.26% for Mr. Hayes; and (iii) the amounts shown assume the following forms of payment: (a) 70% in a monthly annuity and 30% in a lump-sum payment for benefits accrued under the FAE formula of the RTX Consolidated Pension Plan; (b) a lump-sum payment for benefits accrued under the Cash Balance formula of the RTX Consolidated Pension Plan and the UTC Pension Preservation Plan; and (c) payments are based on participant’s elections under the FAE formula of the UTC Pension Preservation Plan. | | (3) Mr. Mitchill was hired after January 1, 2010, and therefore does not participate in the legacy UTC pension plans. | | (4) The present value of the accumulated benefits shown for Messrs. Jasper, Brunk and Timm are based on benefits earned under the legacy Rockwell Collins qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans, which were frozen on September 30, 2006, and have since merged into the RTX Consolidated Pension Plan and the UTC Pension Preservation Plan, respectively. The number of years of credited service reflects the years of service they had when the plans were frozen. Benefit calculations are based on age, years of service and average annual base salary and annual incentives. All of Messrs. Timm’s and Brunk’s nonqualified pension benefits, and a portion of Mr. Jasper’s nonqualified pension benefit, were previously distributed upon UTC’s acquisition of Rockwell Collins in a lump-sum payment in accordance with the change-in-control provisions in that plan. The following additional assumptions are also used: (i) retirement at age 62, the earliest date a participant can retire without a reduction of benefits due to
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Active Plans. RTX maintains the following nonqualified deferred compensation plans that remain open to new contributions.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
| Plan Name | Description | | RTX Corporation Compensation Deferral Plan (“RTX CDP”) | The RTX CDP is an unfunded, nonqualified defined contribution plan that opened on January 1, 2023 and provides eligible employees an opportunity to defer up to 50% of base salary and/or 80% of annual incentive awards. Participants receive Company matching and Company retirement contributions (if eligible) once they can no longer receive these contributions into the qualified RTX Corporation Savings Plan due to IRC limits. Participants who accrue benefits under a Company-sponsored pension plan are not eligible for Company retirement contributions into this plan. The RTX CDP also provides missed Company matching and Company retirement contributions (if applicable) for employees who have not reached the annual IRC compensation limit, but whose contributions to the qualified RTX Corporation Savings Plan exceed the IRC annual contributions limit for the year. Participants are immediately vested in their own deferrals and vest in Company contributions upon the earlier of two years of service with the Company or reaching age 65. Distributions of Company contributions begin upon a separation of service. Participants may elect to begin distributions of employee deferrals either upon separation of service from the Company or upon a future date selected by the participant (which may be no earlier than five years from the date the election was made). RTX CDP balances are distributed in cash, in a lump-sum payment or in annual installments over periods ranging from two to 15 years per the participant’s election. | | RTX Corporation PSU Deferral Plan (“RTX PSU Deferral Plan”) | The RTX PSU Deferral Plan is an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement that enables executives to defer between 10% and 100% of their vested PSU awards that would otherwise be settled in unrestricted shares of RTX Common Stock. The deferred portion of the PSU award is converted into deferred stock units that accrue dividend equivalents. Participants may elect to receive distributions from the plan in a lump sum or in two to 15 annual installments, either upon separation of service from the Company or at a future date selected by the participant (which may be no earlier than five years from the year the PSUs are deferred). Distributions are made in whole shares of RTX Common Stock with any fractional units paid in cash. |
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
Closed Plans. Some of our NEOs were previously employed by companies that we acquired over the years, and thus retain balances in nonqualified deferred compensation plans of these acquired companies that have since been closed to new contributions. In addition, we have closed some of our legacy plans to allow for consistent benefits regardless of an employee’s legacy employer. Our NEOs hold balances in the following closed nonqualified deferred compensation plans: (i) UTC Company Automatic Contribution Excess Plan, which closed on December 31, 2022; (ii) UTC Deferred Compensation Plan, which closed on December 31, 2022; (iii) UTC Savings Restoration Plan, which closed on December 31, 2022; (iv) Sundstrand Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan, which closed in 1999; (v) Rockwell Collins Non-Qualified Savings Plan, which closed on December 31, 2019; and (vi) Rockwell Collins Deferred Compensation Plan, which closed on December 31, 2019. Details on these plans can be found in our previous proxy statements.

Annual LTI awards outstanding for less than one year would be forfeited. | | (4) In the event of a qualifying termination within two years of an RTX change-in-control, Mr. Hayes would receive severance under the legacy UTC Senior Executive Severance Plan (as described on page 65) and all outstanding awards would vest in accordance with the RTX LTIP, including PSUs, which would vest at the greater of actual or target performance. The severance benefit provided under the legacy UTC Senior Executive Severance Plan is equal to 2.99 times the sum of base salary and target annual incentive award for the year of termination, and is reduced by 1/36th for each month that termination occurs after age 62 and, accordingly, is completely phased out at age 65. | | (5) Mr. Hayes remains eligible for benefits under an earlier version of the ELG program. Under the terms of his ELG agreement, upon a qualifying separation from the Company (as defined under the ELG agreement and detailed on pages 64-65), he is eligible to receive a cash payment equal to 2.5 times base salary. As of December 31, 2024, Mr. Hayes met the definition of qualifying separation under the terms of his ELG agreement, and would therefore receive this benefit in the case of an involuntary (without cause) or voluntary separation from the Company. Upon Mr. Hayes’ future qualifying separation from employment, this benefit will be determined based on Mr. Hayes’ base salary in effect at the time he stepped down from the role of CEO. | | (6) Upon an involuntary separation (not for cause) or a qualifying separation following a change-in-control, the Company provides a pro rata portion of target annual incentive awards for the period of time employed during the plan year. Since this table assumes a December 31, 2024 separation, a full-year 2024 target annual incentive award is shown. | | (7) An estimated lump-sum present value of the qualified and nonqualified pension benefits payable to Mr. Hayes upon separation from the Company can be found in the Pension Benefits table on page 76. | | (8) Upon an involuntary separation (not for cause), or a qualifying separation following a change-in-control, the Company provides one year of continuation of health and welfare benefits. Amounts shown reflect the estimated cost of one year of health and welfare benefit continuation based on elections as of December 31, 2024. | | (9) Reflects the value of unvested LTI awards that would vest (or remain eligible to vest) following a separation from the Company, calculated using the closing stock price of RTX on the last trading day of 2024 ($115.72).

Comparing RTX’s Ratio to Other Companies
| Background The following section provides information regarding executive pay and performance in accordance with the SEC’s pay versus performance (“PvP”) disclosure rules. These rules require disclosure of compensation paid to our NEOs using a measure called Compensation Actually Paid (“CAP”), as well as disclosure of certain aspects of Company performance. This section does not reflect how the Human Capital & Compensation Committee (the “HCC Committee”) makes executive compensation decisions. In addition, this section generally uses different metrics from those used in our compensation plans, as discussed below. Refer to page 4 for additional details on how we align pay with performance, and page 44 for the Guiding Principles that underpin how the HCC Committee approaches executive compensation program design. |
Pay versus Performance Table—Compensation Definitions
Pay versus Performance Table—Compensation Definitions The table below outlines the differences between the values reported in the Summary Compensation Table on page 69 and the SEC-mandated CAP calculation:
Pay versus Performance Table—Compensation Definitions
| Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”) | Basic Concept | ● Includes a mix of compensation earned during the year (e.g., base salary and annual incentives) and estimated future pay opportunities (e.g., LTI and pension benefits). ● Uses accounting conventions to estimate the fair value of LTI awards on the grant date, which can significantly differ from the value ultimately realized by the NEO. ● Includes aggregate change in the actuarial present value of pension benefits, which is impacted by various economic actuarial assumptions that do not necessarily represent the additional benefit earned by the NEO during the year. | | | How it is calculated | ● Base salary paid during the year ● Annual incentives earned for the applicable year’s performance ● Grant date accounting fair value of LTI awards granted during the year, which reflects the HCC Committee’s evaluation of the prior year’s performance ● Change in the actuarial present value of pension benefits, plus above market earnings on nonqualified deferred compensation ● All other compensation | | Compensation Actually Paid | Basic Concept | ● Like the SCT, includes a mix of compensation earned during the year (e.g., base salary and annual incentives), and estimated future pay opportunities (e.g., LTI and pension benefits). ● Uses the same accounting conventions as the SCT to estimate the value of LTI. However, the CAP LTI values represent a year-over-year change in the accounting values of unvested LTI awards, LTI awards that vested or forfeited during the year, as well as the year-end valuation for LTI awards granted during the year. For SARs, this accounting value at vesting does not represent the actual value realized by the NEO, which will ultimately be determined when the NEO exercises vested SARs. ● Includes the pension benefit service cost for the year, which seeks to neutralize the effect of certain economic actuarial assumptions and more closely estimates the amount actually earned by the NEO during the relevant year. | | | How it is calculated | ● Base salary paid during the year ● Annual incentives earned for the applicable year’s performance ● Change in accounting fair value of LTI awards that are unvested as of year-end and that vested or forfeited during the year (vs. prior year-end values), fair value at year-end of awards granted during the year, plus any cash dividends paid on these awards during the year ● Current year service cost of pension benefits and any prior year service cost of pension benefits (if a plan amendment occurred during the year), plus above-market earnings on nonqualified deferred compensation ● All other compensation |
