Sustainability

The Company and its Board of Directors believe that a commitment to positive environmental, social and governance-related business practices strengthens the Company, increases its connection with the stockholders and helps it to better serve its customers and the communities in which it operates. Sustainability is driven from the top by the Board and CEO and embedded at all levels of the Company. The full Board oversees sustainability matters directly as part of its strategic review of the Company's operations, products and technology. The Board also regularly reviews personnel talent and development matters. The Company’s commitment to social responsibility extends to the environment, anti-corruption and trade compliance, responsible sourcing, human rights, labor practices, and worker health and safety. The Board and Management have developed a multi-year road map to enhance the Company’s environmental, social and governance-related programs and disclosures, including assessment of the potential risks and opportunities associated with climate change. This road map includes near-term environmental targets for 2025 aimed at reducing energy consumption, solid waste, water and the reduction of scope 1 and scope 2 CO2 emissions through the use of renewable energy. The Company has also submitted its longer term greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction target for 2030 which includes scope 3 CO2 emissions to the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) for validation, and adopted disclosures aligned with the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework. Our alignment to SBTi and the TCFD frameworks reflect our commitment to sustainability and reducing Visteon's carbon footprint. Management provides reports and presentations to the Corporate Sustainability and Governance Committee on the Company’s environmental and social initiatives at all of their regularly scheduled meetings. Additional information about Visteon’s corporate social responsibility efforts is available on our website at https://www.visteon.com/company/sustainability/. Please note, however, that information contained on the website is not incorporated by reference in this proxy statement or considered to be a part of this document.

Stockholder Engagement

We believe that it is important to communicate regularly with stockholders regarding areas of interest or concern. We have a robust stockholder engagement program that includes regular discussions regarding our long-term business strategy, corporate governance, executive compensation, sustainability and other topics suggested by our stockholders. This helps to ensure that our stockholders are heard and able to communicate directly with us on these important matters. In March 2023, we held an investor day at the Nasdaq stock exchange offices which gave us the chance to discuss: Visteon’s role in supporting the secular changes in the automotive industry including digitalization and electrification, Visteon’s growth profile, how we plan to continue reducing Visteon's carbon footprint, and managing the challenges related to the ongoing supply chain shortages.

Election
of Directors

The first proposal on the agenda for the Annual Meeting will be electing nine directors to hold office until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2024.

https://cdn.kscope.io/f566a21dbb6413260185ecd3e5dbc5ba-9_Nominees-02.jpg

We expect each nominee for election as a director to be able to serve if elected. If any nominee is not able to serve, proxies will be voted in favor of the remainder of those nominated and may be voted for substitute nominees, unless the Board chooses to reduce the number of directors serving on the Board.

The Company’s Bylaws provide that in any uncontested election (an election in which the number of nominees for director is not greater than the number to be elected), each director shall be elected if the number of votes cast “for” the nominee’s election exceed the number of votes cast “against” that nominee’s election. The Bylaws also provide that any nominee who does not receive more votes cast “for” the nominee’s election than the number of votes cast “against” that nominee in an uncontested election is expected to promptly tender his or her resignation to the Chairman of the Board, which resignation shall be promptly considered through a process managed by the Corporate Sustainability and Governance Committee, to determine if a compelling reason exists for concluding that it is in the best interests of the Company for such incumbent to remain a director. The Corporate Sustainability and Governance Committee shall provide its recommendation to the Board with respect to any tendered resignation within 14 days of the certification of the election voting results and such recommendation shall be acted on by the Board within 30 days of the certification of the voting results. If a resignation offer is not accepted by the Board, it will publicly disclose its decision, including a summary of reasons for not accepting the offer of resignation. In a contested election (an election in which the number of nominees for director is greater than the number to be elected), the directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.

Director Nominations and Board Refreshment

The Corporate Sustainability and Governance Committee assesses all director candidates, whether submitted by management, a stockholder or otherwise, and recommends nominees for election to the Board. In April 2023, the Corporate Sustainability and Governance Committee determined that all incumbent directors wishing to stand for election this year should be re-nominated to stand for election at this Annual Meeting. The key considerations for Board candidates in this process included: specific skills and intellectual capital aligned with the Company’s future strategic and operating plans, strong commitment to increasing stockholder value, core business competencies, including a record of success, financial literacy, a high degree of ethics and integrity, interpersonal skills, enthusiasm, independence and prior board experience. The Board considers diversity to be an important factor in the selection and nomination of director candidates. Although the Board does not establish mandatory board composition with respect to diversity, the Board’s overall diversity is a significant consideration in the nomination process and the Board has committed to including female and minority candidates in the initial search pool of candidates when adding new board members or filling vacancies. Board refreshment is also critical as the automotive industry changes and the Company’s business strategy evolves. During the last six years, three new independent directors (one who is female) providing experience in technology and international business have joined the Board. At the same time, the Company also benefits from having seasoned directors on our Board who are well-versed in the Company’s business and help facilitate the transfer of institutional knowledge. The average board member tenure of approximately eight years reflects the balance the Board seeks between different perspectives brought by long-serving and new directors. As part of the nominee selection process, the Corporate Sustainability and Governance Committee reviewed the diversity of the Board, including the information set forth below provided by all director nominees. Based upon the review of the Corporate Sustainability and Governance Committee, it believes that the overall mix of the backgrounds of the nominees for election at the Annual Meeting provides for a diverse and highly qualified Board.


Board Diversity Matrix as of April 1, 2023
Board Size:
Total Number of Directors	9
Gender:	Male	Female	Non-binary	Gender Undisclosed

The Board concurred with the recommendations of the Corporate Sustainability and Governance Committee. The specific experiences, qualifications and skills that were considered in their initial selection, and considered by the Board in their nomination, are included in the matrix below and after each of the individual biographies. All the nominees are current directors who were elected by our stockholders at the last annual meeting of stockholders with support for each director nominee exceeding 96%.

Corporate Governance

Corporate Governance Guidelines

The Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines to define the role of the Board, its structure and composition, as well as set forth principles regarding director commitment expectations and compensation. The guidelines also limit the number of other boards a director may serve on and the maximum age of directors.

Board Leadership Structure

Since September 2012, the Board has separated the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer by appointing a non-executive Chairman. The non-executive Chairman serves in a lead capacity to coordinate the activities of the other outside directors and to perform the duties and responsibilities as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time. Currently, these responsibilities include:

•Presiding at all meetings of stockholders;

•Convening and presiding at all meetings of the Board, including executive sessions of the independent directors;

•Developing, with the assistance of the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”), the agenda for all Board meetings;

•Collaborating with the CEO, committee Chairs, and other directors to establish meeting schedules, agendas, and materials in order to ensure that all directors can perform their duties responsibly and that there is sufficient time for discussion of all agenda items;

•Advising the CEO on the quantity, quality, and timeliness of information delivered by management to the Board and providing input so that directors can effectively and responsibly perform their duties;

•Counseling the CEO on issues of interest or concern to directors and encouraging all directors to engage the CEO with their interests and concerns;

•Serving as a liaison on Board-related issues between directors and the CEO and management although directors maintain the right to communicate directly with the CEO or any member of management on any matter;

•Assisting the Board and the Company’s officers in assuring compliance with and implementation of the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines;

•Working in conjunction with the Corporate Sustainability and Governance Committee to recommend revisions, as appropriate, to the Corporate Governance Guidelines;

•Making recommendations to the Board concerning the retention of counsel and consultants who report directly to the Board on board matters (as opposed to committee counsel or consultants);

•Working with the Chair of each committee during the annual review of committee charters and work with the Chair of the Corporate Sustainability and Governance Committee with respect to committee assignments and the recruitment and selection of new Board members;

•Representing the Board in stockholder engagement meetings and similar activities with other stakeholders, serve as a focal point for stockholder communications addressed to directors, and advise the CEO of the timing and substance of such communications; in each case as approved by the Board;

•Convening special meetings of the Company’s stockholders consistent with the terms of the Company’s Bylaws from time to time in effect; and

•Helping set the tone for the highest standards of ethics and integrity.

The Board believes that a non-executive Chairman can help provide effective, independent Board leadership.

Board Risk Oversight

The Board believes that its primary responsibility is to oversee the business and affairs of the Company for the protection and enhancement of stockholder value, which includes assessing major risks facing the Company and options for mitigating these risks. The Board reviews, oversees and monitors risks and mitigation strategies related to the Company’s business strategy, business continuity, cybersecurity, and the impact on the Company’s financial planning. The committees help the Board carry out this responsibility by focusing on specific key areas of risk inherent in our business.

•The Audit Committee oversees risks associated with financial and accounting matters, including compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, enterprise cybersecurity, and the Company’s financial reporting and internal control systems.

•The Corporate Sustainability and Governance Committee oversees risks associated with corporate governance and sustainability policies and practices, including Board structure, director succession planning and climate change.

•The Organization and Compensation Committee helps ensure that the Company’s compensation policies and practices support the retention and development of executive talent with the experience required to manage risks inherent to the business and do not encourage or reward excessive risk-taking by our executives.

•The Technology Committee oversees risks associated with new product development and technology strategies including product-related cybersecurity.

The Board receives regular updates from the committees about their activities in this regard. The Company’s enterprise risk management approach utilizes an annual risk assessment consisting of Board member and management level employee interviews and surveys which identify changes to the Company’s risk exposure and overall risk environment as it relates to cybersecurity, financial, compliance, operational and strategic risk areas including business continuity and climate change. The results of management’s review are reported to the Board by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and/or Chief Legal Officer.

Director Independence

The Corporate Governance Guidelines adopted by the Board of Directors provide that a majority of the members of the Board, and each member of the Audit, Organization and Compensation, Corporate Sustainability and Governance, and Technology Committees, must meet the independence criteria of applicable law and stock exchange listing standards. For a director to be considered independent, the Board must determine that the director does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. To assist it in determining director independence, the Board of Directors has adopted the Visteon Director Independence Guidelines, which are attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A. The Visteon Director Independence Guidelines contain categorical standards of independence which conform to, or are more exacting than applicable law and stock exchange listing standards. In addition to applying its guidelines, the Board will consider all relevant facts and circumstances that it is aware of in making an independence determination.

Executive Summary

Visteon is a global automotive technology company serving the mobility industry, dedicated to creating more enjoyable, connected, and safe driving experiences. The Company's platforms leverage proven, scalable hardware and software solutions that enable the digital, electric, and autonomous evolution of its global automotive customers. The automotive mobility market is expected to grow faster than underlying vehicle production volumes as the vehicle shifts from analog to digital and towards device and cloud connected, electric vehicles, and vehicles with more advanced safety features.

The Company has laid out the following strategic priorities:

TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION

LONG-TERM GROWTH

ENHANCE SHAREHOLDER RETURNS WHILE MAINTAINING A STRONG BALANCE SHEET

The Company is an established global leader in cockpit electronics and is positioned to provide solutions as the industry transitions to the next generation automotive cockpit experience. The cockpit is becoming fully digital, connected, automated, learning, and voice enabled. Visteon's broad portfolio of cockpit electronics technology, the industry's first wireless battery management system, and the development of safety technology integrated into its domain controllers positions Visteon to support these macro trends in the automotive industry.

The Company has continued to win business at a rate that exceeds current sales levels by demonstrating product quality, technical and development capability, new product innovation, reliability, timeliness, product design, manufacturing capability, and flexibility, as well as overall customer service.

The Company has returned approximately $3.3 billion to shareholders since 2015. In addition, the Company has continued to maintain a strong balance sheet to withstand near-term industry volatility while providing a foundation for future growth and shareholder returns.

The automotive industry has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing semiconductor shortage. Industry vehicle volumes had increased in 2022 but remained near historically low levels despite strong consumer demand due to the ongoing semiconductor shortage. Visteon expects continued uncertainty and volatility as a result of the on-going shortages of semiconductors, geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe, uncertain global economy, and the COVID-19 related impacts in China and other countries. The magnitude of the impact on the financial statements, results of operations, and cash flows will depend on the evolution of the semiconductor supply shortage, plant production schedules and global economic impacts.

Visteon continued to focus on execution throughout 2022, building a foundation of sustainable growth, margin expansion, and cash flow generation. To address the near-term challenges created from the worldwide semiconductor and supply chain shortages, Visteon implemented a series of proactive initiatives aimed at increasing product availability for its customers while minimizing the impact of incremental costs to the business.

Highlights of key actions and 2022 financial and strategic achievements include:

•Sales of $3,756 million, Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $348 million, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow(1) of $101 million;

•$6 billion in new business wins, including multiple large multi-display wins, multiple SmartCore™ domain wins with lifetime revenue in excess of $1 billion;

•A strong balance sheet with Cash of $523 million and Debt of $349 million;

•Delivering 9.3% Sales growth-over-market relative to our customers' production, excluding currency;

•Continued market out-performance with 15 consecutive quarters of growth-over-market;

•45 new products launched; Visteon's next-generation products continue to be featured on its customer's key vehicles and platforms

The 2022 compensation for our NEOs is commensurate with the Company’s 2022 performance and the goals established under our executive compensation program. The mix of award types and incentive plan performance measures were selected to align with our business strategy, talent needs and market practices. Actual pay to be realized by the executive officers was based primarily on the Company’s financial and stock price performance results. A majority of pay was based on at-risk elements, given our focus on performance-based pay elements (annual and long-term incentives).

The chart below shows the cash versus equity components of target compensation for 2020-2022 which was awarded to our CEO as compared to compensation received or projected to be received as of December 31, 2022 using the Company's stock price as of that date. The Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) for the same period was +51%. Short-term incentives were funded at target for 2020 and 2021 and at 150% for 2022.

The relationship between target and realizable compensation is attributable to several factors: •Annual Incentive actual payouts relative to target levels; •The difference between the grant-based value of Performance Stock Unit ("PSU") awards and the relative performance as of December 31, 2022; •The value of Restricted Stock Unit ("RSU") awards at the grant date as compared to the value as of December 31, 2022; and •The value of stock options at the grant date as compared to value realized through and "in-the-money" value as of December 31, 2022. These factors, which resulted in realizable compensation for the 2020-2022 period exceeding target compensation by approximately 65% while TSR increased 51%, reinforces the performance orientation of our program and the alignment of interests between our executives and our shareholders.

SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION

As previously described, the automotive industry was negatively impacted in 2022 by the semiconductor shortage and continued global coronavirus pandemic. Given significant uncertainty caused by factors outside the control of Management (and which could not be reasonably forecasted at the beginning of 2022), the 2022 Annual Incentive (“AI”) program was designed to provide enhanced flexibility for the Committee to exercise its informed judgement to assess Management’s performance in light of the extremely challenging external environment. The Committee maintained the same basic AI structure and metrics as 2021 with the addition of environmental related metric as a modifier for the executive team. In February of 2022, the Committee approved the annual incentive program which considers adjustments to 2022 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash flow targets attributable to the semiconductor shortage based on a list of adjustment categories (further described in the “Annual Incentive Awards” section).

The 2022 AI program paid at 150% of the target based on performance against the financial and MBO metrics. As in prior years, the Committee also assesses individual performance of the NEOs and determined the actual payouts based on their contributions in 2022.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION AWARDS

All NEOs received annual Long-Term Incentive (“LTI”) awards in March 2022 which included performance stock units (“PSUs”) and restricted stock units (“RSUs”).

PSUs granted to NEOs in 2020-2022 were based on a performance metric of relative total shareholder return over a three year period. The 2022 and 2021 awards feature a single, three-year performance period, while the 2020 awards have one, two and three-year performance period within the grant. The table below shows the PSUs granted over the last three years and their actual or estimated performance through December 31, 2022. The PSUs granted in 2020 were vested in the first quarter of 2023.

2022 Say-on-Pay Advisory Vote Outcome

In 2022, our executive compensation program received favorable support of approximately 96% of votes cast by our stockholders, which is an improvement over the average of the prior three years of 90% (2019-2021). Management and the Committee reviewed this result and believe it to be a strong indication of support for the Company’s executive compensation program and alignment of the program with stockholder interests. We value stockholder feedback and throughout 2022 were actively engaged with our stockholders. During 2022, these discussions did not identify any issues related to our executive compensation program. As detailed throughout this Compensation Discussion & Analysis, we believe the officer compensation program is strongly aligned with shareholder value creation, and that it reflects solid corporate governance practices.

Executive Compensation Program Design and Governance Practices

Our executive compensation program is designed to provide strong alignment between executive pay, stockholder interests, and company performance, and incorporates best practices. Here are some of the compensation practices we follow and those we avoid.


What We Do						The Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approves all aspects of executive officer pay
						Target pay levels to be, on average, within a competitive range of the median of comparable companies, considering an individual’s responsibilities, business impact, performance and other factors
						Provide the majority of pay through performance-based annual and long-term programs
						Balance short- and long-term incentives using multiple performance metrics, covering individual, financial and total shareholder return performance
						Cap incentive awards that are based on performance goals
						Have “double trigger” (qualifying termination of employment following a change in control) requirements for NEO severance payments and/or equity acceleration for all of the NEOs’ outstanding awards
						Maintain guidelines for robust stock ownership by our NEOs to ensure ongoing and meaningful alignment with shareholders
						Have a compensation recoupment (“clawback”) policy for executive officers covering performance-based compensation (both cash and equity) in the event of a financial restatement
						Prohibit hedging transactions, purchasing the Company’s common stock on margin or pledging such shares
						Review key elements of the officer pay program annually, as conducted by the Committee, which also considers our business and talent needs, and market trends
						Use an independent compensation consultant to evaluate our executive compensation program relative to our peers, and outside legal counsel to draft our executive compensation plans and award agreements

What We Don't Do						Do not provide excise tax gross-ups
						Do not have compensation practices that encourage unnecessary and excessive risk taking
						Do not reprice options, reload, exchange or grant stock options or stock appreciation rights below market value without shareholder approval
						Do not provide dividends or dividend equivalents on unearned PSUs unless and until the underlying PSU vests (and if such PSUs are forfeited, no dividend equivalents are paid out)
						Do not provide car allowances, club memberships or similar perquisites

Executive Compensation Program Administration

The Committee is primarily responsible for administering the Company’s executive compensation program. The Committee reviews and approves all elements of the executive compensation program that cover the NEOs. In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Committee is assisted by an independent compensation consultant and considers recommendations from Senior Management. The primary roles of each party are summarized below.


Party:			Primary Roles:
Organization and Compensation Committee (composed solely of independent directors)			•Oversee all aspects of the executive compensation program •Approve officer compensation levels, incentive plan performance goals and award payouts •Approve specific performance goals and objectives, as well as corresponding compensation for the CEO •Ensure the executive compensation program best achieves the Company’s objectives, considering the business strategy, talent needs and market trends
Senior Management (CEO, CFO and CPO)			•Make recommendations regarding the potential structure of the executive compensation program, including input on key business strategies and objectives •Make recommendations regarding the pay levels of the officer team (excluding the CEO) •Provide any other information requested by the Committee
Compensation Consultant (FW Cook)			•Advise the Committee on competitive market practices and trends •Provide proxy pay data for our compensation peer group •Present information and benchmarking regarding specific executive compensation matters, as requested by the Committee •Review management proposals and provide recommendations regarding CEO pay •Participate in Committee meetings as requested, including executive sessions of the Committee when management is not present, and communicate with the Committee Chair between meetings

Additional information about the role and processes of the Committee is presented under “Corporate Governance — Organization & Compensation Committee.”

Executive Compensation Program Philosophy

The primary objectives of the Company’s executive compensation program are to recruit, engage, and retain highly qualified executives who can enable our long-term success and who will focus on maximizing shareholder value. As such, the Company’s executive compensation program is structured to:

•Drive the Company’s strategic plans and objectives;

•Create strong alignment of the interests of executives with the creation of shareholder value, particularly as measured by total shareholder return/stock price appreciation;

•Provide a market-competitive total compensation package customized to fit our business and talent needs; and

•Be cost-effective and straightforward to understand and communicate.

For each element of compensation and in total, the Company generally targets annualized compensation to be within a competitive range of market median, while also considering an individual’s experience, performance and business impact, as well as our organizational structure and cost implications. The target compensation mix is set based on position responsibilities, individual considerations and market competitive practices. The proportion of variable, or “at risk,” compensation, provided through incentive programs, increases as an employee’s level of responsibility increases commensurate with the position’s impact on the business.

Executive Compensation			Table of Contents

The actual pay earned, if any, for annual and long-term incentives reflects Company and individual performance and will vary above or below the targeted level.

Market Compensation Practices

As one of the inputs in determining executive compensation each year, the Company reviews industry survey reports and proxy compensation data regarding market practices. In 2022, the Committee reviewed NEOs base salaries, target annual and long-term incentive award opportunities, as well as selected pay program design practices. In conducting this review, the Committee selected the 16 companies listed below whose aggregate profile was comparable to Visteon in terms of industry, size (based on revenue and market capitalization) and other operations-related metrics as comparators for purposes of determining the range of market medians with respect to compensation elements (the “Compensation Peer Group”). In 2022, the peer group was updated to remove FLIR Systems and Nuance Communications (due to acquisition) and Gentherm and Methode Electronics were added. We believe the Compensation Peer Group represents a reasonable comparator group of direct automotive supplier, technology peers and other related companies with which we compete for executive talent.

ANNUAL INCENTIVE AWARDS

The Company’s Annual Incentive program provides employees the opportunity to earn during their tenure an annual cash bonus based on specified individual, financial, operational and/or strategic performance-based goals. This program is designed to motivate executives to achieve key short-term financial and operational goals of the Company. The target incentive opportunities are set by the Committee after considering the potential impact on the business of each role, the relationships among the roles and market competitive levels for the positions. Actual awards earned can range from 0% to 200% of target based on the performance of the Company (considering both financial and non-financial performance) and the individual.

On February 8, 2022, the Committee approved the 2022 AI program with the same structure and metrics as 2021 with the addition of an environmental sustainability metric as a modifier, which if not achieved will be a negative modifier of 5%; Adjusted EBITDA (40% weighting), Adjusted Free Cash Flow (30% weighting) and MBOs (30% weighting). The 2022 AI program was designed to provide enhanced flexibility for the Committee to exercise its informed judgement to assess Management's performance in light of the extremely challenging external environment. The Committee agreed to consider adjustments to 2022 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow attributable to the semiconductor shortage. Any adjustments to financial results for the 2022 AI were to be based upon a list of agreed-upon adjustment categories:

•Lost volume / revenue

•Incremental costs incurred (e.g. material cost increases due to supply shortages, unplanned extraordinary costs such as transportation/freight, and incremental engineering cost to redesign components)

In addition to the financial metrics, MBOs were developed to provide the Committee with a vehicle to holistically assess overall performance on goals that strengthen the Company’s capabilities over the longer-term in the midst of a challenging business environment.

At the conclusion of 2022, the Committee approved the adjusted performance on the financial metrics taking into consideration the impact due to the semiconductor shortage which resulted in 160% payout for Adjusted EBITDA and 140% payout for Adjusted Free Cash Flow metrics.

Specific threshold, target, and maximum goals for the 2022 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow (“FCF”) metrics, as well as the percentage of the target award earned, both pre- and post-adjustment for the semiconductor impact are set forth below.


	2022 Threshold	2022 Target	2022 Maximum	Preliminary Performance (Pre-Adjustment for Semiconductor Impact)	Adjustment for Semiconductor Impact(3)(4)	Committee Assessed Performance	Weighted % Earned
Measure ($ in millions)	25% of Target Payout	100% of Target Payout	200% of Target Payout

Adjusted EBITDA(1)	$252	$295 - $335	$394	$348	$24	$372	160%
Adjusted Free Cash Flow(2)	$70	$90 - $110	$130	$101	$17	$118	140%

(1)The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to the Company, adjusted to eliminate the impact of depreciation and amortization, restructuring and impairment expense, net interest expense, loss on divestiture, equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates, gain on non-consolidated affiliate transactions, provision for income taxes, discontinued operations, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations.

(2)The Company defines adjusted free cash flow as cash flow provided from operating activities less capital expenditures, as further adjusted for restructuring and transformation-related payments. The adjusted free cash flow target and results for purposes of this Annual Incentive program was further adjusted to exclude U.S. pension contributions.

(3)The Company considered the following adjustments to Adjusted EBITDA based on the semiconductor shortage: lost sales impact ($24 million increase to results) .

(4)The Company considered the following adjustments to Adjusted Free Cash Flow based on the semiconductor shortage: lost sales impact ($17 million increase to results).

Following the conclusion of 2022, the Committee assessed the Company’s performance against the preestablished MBOs and determined that it had exceeded the target on the basket of MBOs, resulting in a payout of 150% on the MBO portion (30% weighting) of the annual incentive program. This, combined with the results on the Adjusted EBITDA and FCF pillar of the program, resulted in the funding of awards at 150% of target. The additional environmental metric modifier satisfied the measurement criteria for 2022.

As a result, 2022 annual incentive awards were paid at 150% of target for Messrs. Lawande, Rouquet and Pynnonen and Ms. Trecker and 180% of target for Mr. Vallance, as shown in the table below. The payouts for the executives reflect their leadership and contributions to our 2022 performance, including management of the semiconductor shortage and related customer recoveries as detailed in the “Executive Summary” above. The amounts paid to the NEOs are also set forth in the “Summary Compensation Table” under the column “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation.”

ANNUAL INCENTIVE PROGRAM CHANGES FOR 2023

The 2023 AI program includes Environmental and Social metrics as part of the MBOs:

•Environmental Metric: A sustainability metric geared toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy usage; and

•Social Metric: To enhance the diversity of our workforce and leaders while increasing employee performance and engagement and improve visibility of Visteon's societal contributions to employees and other stakeholders

LONG -TERM INCENTIVE PROGRAM CHANGES FOR 2023

The Company’s LTI program is designed to reward executives for the achievement of specified multi-year goals that are linked to the Company’s long-term financial performance, align the delivery of incentive value with increases in the Company’s stock price and retain key employees. Typically, awards are granted each year with a vesting or performance period of three years; however, in some situations, such as the recruitment of new executives or to focus on objectives with a different duration, the Company may use a shorter or longer period. The annualized total targeted long-term incentive award opportunity is determined by considering market data, organization level and/or impact of the position on the Company’s performance.

We have made the following changes to the 2023 LTI program to increase alignment with market practice:

•Changed approach to convert Performance Stock Units (PSU) target value to target shares

•New approach (starting with 2023 grant): divide target value by grant date closing stock price

•Old approach (prior to 2023 grant): divide target value by grant date fair value

•Aligned start of PSU performance period with grant date (but maintained 3-year performance period)

2022 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE GRANTS

On March 1, 2022, all of the NEOs received regular long-term incentive grants with targeted grant date values as follows: Mr. Lawande ($7,000,000); Mr. Rouquet ($1,320,000), Mr. Vallance ($694,000), Mr. Pynnonen ($655,000) and Ms. Trecker ($538,000). The LTI grant mix consisted of PSUs and RSUs, as described below.

STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES

Visteon has adopted stock ownership guidelines for executives of the Company at or above Senior Vice President, which includes all NEOs. The goal for these executives is to own common stock worth three-to-six times their salary. Effective January 1, 2018, the Committee implemented a retention requirement until the multiple of salary threshold is met. All executives subject to the stock ownership guidelines must retain 50% of net shares which vest from RSUs and PSUs and 50% of the shares remaining after the payment of option exercise prices and any taxes owed. The value of actual shares owned and unvested RSUs are used to determine whether the guidelines have been met; unexercised stock options and PSUs are not included. As of December 31, 2022 Messrs. Lawande, Rouquet, Vallance and Pynnonen had satisfied the ownership guidelines while Ms. Trecker continues to be subject to the retention requirement. The stock ownership guidelines are six times (6x) base salary for the Chief Executive Officer and three times (3x) base salary for the Executive and Senior Vice Presidents.

EXECUTIVE SECURITY PROGRAM

The Company maintains an Executive Security Program that permits the CEO to use commercially available private air transportation services for personal and business travel, and provides the benefit of various personal health and safety protections. The CEO does not receive a tax “gross-up” for personal use of such aircraft and all use requires advance approval by one of the following: Chairman of the Board or Chairman of the Compensation or Audit Committees of the Board.

There was no personal use of commercially available private air transportation services by NEOs during 2022.

RETIREMENT BENEFITS OVERVIEW

During their tenure, NEOs participate in the Company’s tax-qualified retirement and savings plans on the same basis as other similarly situated employees. The Company has periodically made changes to the type of retirement plans and to the level of benefits provided under such plans, based on an assessment of the Company’s business and talent needs, costs, market practices, and other factors. Effective December 31, 2011, the U.S. defined benefit pension plan was frozen for all participants. Since all NEOs were hired after this date, therefore no NEOs have a defined benefit pension. All of the NEOs participate in U.S.-based plans.

NEOs and most U.S. salaried employees, are entitled during their tenure to participate in the Visteon Investment Plan (VIP), Visteon’s 401(k) investment and savings plan. The Company matches 100% of the employee’s eligible contributions up to 6% of eligible pay (subject to IRS limits). Amounts deferred for each NEO are reflected in the “Salary” column of the “Summary Compensation Table.”

Visteon also maintains a Savings Parity Plan (SPP), which provides eligible U.S. participants during their tenure with company contributions of 6% of eligible pay that are restricted due to IRS limits under the broad-based, tax-qualified 401(k) plan. The Company’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) provides eligible U.S. participants during their tenure with annual company contributions of 6% (Vice Presidents), 9% (Executive and Senior Vice Presidents), or 14.5% (CEO) of pay in place of the prior defined benefit formulas in the plan for service after January 1, 2012. The SERP is closed to new entrants other than for those employees at or above Senior Vice President or for employees who are specifically designated for participation by the Committee. Company contributions to these plans on behalf of the NEOs are included in the “All Other Compensation” column of the “Summary Compensation Table.”

Additional details about the Company’s retirement plans are presented later, under “Retirement Benefits.”

Severance and Change in Control Benefits

The Company has entered into change in control agreements with all of its executive officers (Mr. Lawande’s change in control benefits are included in his employment agreement rather than in a stand-alone change in control agreement), including the NEOs. These change in control agreements were last revised in October 2012 and provide certain benefits if a qualifying termination occurs following a change in control of the Company, as defined by the agreements. For the NEOs, and subject to the terms of the change in control agreements (or for Mr. Lawande, his employment agreement), change in control cash severance benefits are provided during their tenure as a 1.5 (SVPs) or 2.0 (CEO) multiple of the sum of the executive’s annual base salary and target annual incentive. In addition, and pursuant to their terms, the agreements provide for other severance benefits, such as the continuation of medical benefits and outplacement assistance. The agreements have a “double trigger” provision, which would require that the executive’s employment terminate without “cause” or for “good reason” following a change in control, in each case, as defined in the agreements, in order to receive benefits under the agreements. No excise tax gross-up provisions are contained in the change in control severance arrangements or in Mr. Lawande’s employment agreement.

Upon the involuntary termination of employment by the Company (other than for specified reasons, including disability, availability of other severance benefits, and inappropriate conduct), executive officers are entitled to severance benefits under the Visteon Executive Severance Plan, which was last revised effective January 1, 2021 (Mr. Lawande’s severance benefits are included in his employment agreement rather than such Severance Plan). Subject to the terms of the Severance Plan, a specific and consistent level of severance benefits are provided with a cash severance payment of 1.5 (SVPs and CEO) multiplied by the sum of an executive’s annual base salary and target annual incentive. Subject to the terms of the severance plan, executives would also be entitled to the reimbursement of medical coverage premiums under COBRA for up to 18 months following termination, the provision

Visteon Corporation

2023 Proxy Statement


Executive Compensation			Table of Contents

of outplacement services for up to 12 months, and the payment of a pro-rated portion of any outstanding annual incentive based on actual company performance during the performance period.

The severance plan and change in control agreements provide that outstanding stock-based awards vest only in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of such awards. Additional details about the change in control agreements, the severance plan, the terms and conditions of awards, and the estimated value of these potential payouts are included in the “Potential Payments Upon Termination” section. The terms of Mr. Lawande’s compensation package, including potential severance and change in control benefits, are detailed in his employment agreements. See “Employment Agreement with Mr. Lawande” for additional details regarding such agreements.

Executive Compensation Policies

Stock Awards Granting Policy. The Company regularly grants stock awards to its NEOs and other eligible key employees. Stock awards made to executives at the time they become employees or officers of the Company have a grant date on the later of the date employment commences or the date the Committee approves the awards. In all cases, the exercise price of stock options and stock appreciation rights is the closing price on the grant date. Stock price is not a factor in selecting the timing of equity-based awards.

Securities Trading and Anti-Hedging/Anti-Pledging Policy. The Company maintains a Policy Regarding Purchases and Sales of Company Stock that imposes specific standards on directors, officers and other employees of the Company. The policy, available at https://www.visteon.com/company/policies-compliance/, is intended not only to forbid such persons from trading in Company stock on the basis of inside information, but to avoid even the appearance of improper conduct on the part of such persons. In addition to the specific restrictions set forth in the policy, the policy requires that all transactions in Company stock by directors, executive officers and by others in their households be pre-cleared by the Chief Legal Officer. The only exceptions to the pre-clearance requirement are 10b5-1 trading plans that have been previously approved by the Chief Legal Officer and regular, ongoing acquisition of Company stock resulting from continued participation in employee benefit plans that the Company or its agents may administer. The Company also considers it inappropriate for any director, officer or other employee to enter into speculative transactions in the Company’s stock. Directors, officers and other employees are prohibited from engaging in the purchase or sale of puts, calls, options or other derivative securities based on the Company’s stock. The Company has a policy prohibiting all hedging or monetization transactions, such as forward sale contracts, in which the stockholder continues to own the underlying security without all the risks or rewards of ownership. Finally, directors, officers and other employees may not purchase the Company’s stock on margin or borrow against any account in which our securities are held.

Pay Clawbacks. In April 2013, the Company adopted a compensation recovery policy, which requires each executive officer of the Company to repay or forfeit a portion or all of any annual incentive, PSUs or other performance-based compensation granted to him or her on or after September 29, 2012, if:

•The payment, grant or vesting of such compensation was based on the achievement of financial results that were subsequently the subject of a restatement of the Company’s financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission;

•The amount of the compensation that would have been received by the executive officer, had the financial results been properly reported, would have been lower than the amount actually received; and

•The SEC recently adopted final rulemaking with respect to issuer recoupment policies that will require further rulemaking by the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company intends to revisit its clawback policy when Nasdaq rulemaking regarding recoupment policies becomes effective and the policy will be updated to comply with all final requirements.

Executive Compensation			Table of Contents

Tax Deductibility of Executive Compensation. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), generally limits the Company’s federal income tax deduction to $1 million per year for compensation to its CEO and certain other highly compensated executive officers (and beginning for 2018, certain former executive officers). While it has been our policy to consider the impact of Section 162(m)’s deductibility limits when developing and implementing our executive compensation program, we also believe that it is important to preserve flexibility in administering compensation programs in a manner designed to promote varying business and talent goals. Accordingly, we have not adopted a policy that all compensation must qualify as deductible under Section 162(m). In this regard, our Committee may determine in any year that it would be in our best interest for awards to be paid under stock incentive plans, or for other compensation to be paid, that is not fully deductibility under Section 162(m) if the Committee believes that such compensation will best attract, retain, and reward executives and contribute to our business objectives.

Statement Regarding Compensation Risk Assessment

Visteon annually conducts a risk assessment and believes that its compensation programs, policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Specifically, as detailed previously, Visteon maintains a market competitive, balanced executive compensation program with varying incentive award types, performance metrics, performance/vesting periods and includes governance features that mitigate potential risk (including Committee oversight, maximum potential payouts are set under incentive plans, stock ownership guidelines and a pay clawback policy).

Employment Agreement with Mr. Lawande

In June 2015, the Company and Mr. Lawande entered into an employment agreement and Mr. Lawande commenced employment on June 29, 2015. Under the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Lawande serves as Visteon’s Chief Executive Officer and President. The employment agreement provided for an initial term of three years, with automatic renewals for successive one-year periods thereafter (subject to a requirement to provide advance notice of the decision not to renew). Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Lawande received an initial annualized base salary of $1 million, with a target annual cash bonus opportunity of no less than 100% of his base salary and annual long-term incentive opportunity of $5 million. This agreement was amended and restated effective February 12, 2018, to extend the term to June 29, 2021. His base salary was established at an annual rate of $1,030,000 with a target annual cash bonus opportunity of at least 125%. On October 22, 2020, the Company and Mr. Lawande entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement which extends the term to September 30, 2025. There were no changes made to Mr. Lawande’s base salary or target annual cash bonus opportunity. Mr. Lawande will be eligible to receive annual awards under the Company’s long-term incentive compensation arrangements. Mr. Lawande will continue to be entitled to participate in the Company’s standard benefits programs on the same basis as other senior executives of the Company with the exception that if Mr. Lawande retires in accordance with the standard terms of the Company’s retirement definition and the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, concludes that a successor has been hired or identified by Mr. Lawande to replace him as Chief Executive Officer, the PSU awards under the applicable long term incentive programs will continue to vest as if he were employed rather than being prorated.

If Mr. Lawande is terminated without “cause” or his employment is voluntarily terminated for “good reason”, in each case, as defined under the employment agreement, he will receive (generally subject to a customary release of claims and certain restrictive covenants) (i) a cash payment equal to 1.5 times the sum of his annual base salary and target bonus, (ii) a pro rata annual bonus for the year of termination based on corporate achievement levels for the entire year, (iii) up to 18 months of health benefits and (iv) outplacement services for a period of up to one year in an amount not to exceed $50,000. If, within two years after the occurrence of a “Change in Control” (as defined in the employment agreement), Mr. Lawande is terminated without cause or his employment is voluntarily terminated for good reason, he will receive (i) a cash payment equal to 2 times the sum of his annual base salary and target bonus, (ii) a pro rata portion of the annual bonus awarded to Mr. Lawande for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs, assuming the achievement at target level, (iii) up to 18 months of life, accident and health insurance benefits, (iv) accelerated vesting of any benefits under the Company’s 2010 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and Savings Parity Plan or any successor to any such plans or similar plans and payment of benefits under such plans in accordance with their terms and (v) reimbursement for outplacement services for a period of up to one year in an amount not to exceed $50,000.

Visteon Corporation 2020 and 2010 Incentive Plans

The Visteon Corporation 2020 Incentive Plan and 2010 Incentive Plan, as amended, (the “Incentive Plans”) permit grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, PSUs, restricted stock, RSUs and other rights relating to our common stock, as well as performance and time-based cash bonuses. In 2022, the Company implemented an annual incentive cash bonus program and a long-term equity-based incentive program for eligible employees, including the NEOs. These programs are discussed further under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” above. Except under certain circumstances such as involuntary termination, an executive must be employed in good standing with the Company at the date of payment to be eligible for a bonus payment. The Committee retains discretion under the Incentive Plans to modify or adjust any award at any time.

The RSUs awarded under the 2022 long-term incentive program vest ratably over three years from the date of grant and, at the election of the Company, will be paid in common stock or cash based on the closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ on such vesting date. The PSUs awarded under the 2022 long-term incentive program vest on January 31, 2025 based on the achievement of certain relative total shareholder return metrics and will be paid in cash based on the closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ on such vesting date or common stock, at the election of the Company. Holders of RSUs and PSUs (to the extent earned) may receive the same cash dividends or dividend equivalents as other stockholders owning common stock; provided that no dividends or dividend equivalents will be paid until the RSUs or PSUs vest (and, if such RSUs or PSUs are forfeited, the holder shall have no right to such dividends or dividend equivalents).

The grant date fair value for the RSUs was based on price of $112.01, the closing price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The grant date fair value for the PSUs was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation and was based on a price of $163.18 per target unit.

Retirement Benefits

PENSION BENEFITS

The Company froze its defined benefit pension plan for U.S. employees effective December 31, 2011. The NEOs are not entitled to defined benefits as they joined the Company after this date.

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION QUALIFIED PLAN

The NEOs, and most U.S. salaried employees, are entitled to participate in the Visteon Investment Plan (Visteon’s 401(k) plan). This plan is a tax-qualified plan under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") therefore amounts that may be deferred are limited. The Company matches employee contributions of up to 6% of base pay and annual incentive at a rate of 100% of the employee’s eligible contributions. Amounts deferred for each NEO are reflected in the “Salary” column of the above “Summary Compensation Table.”

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION FOR 2022

The following table provides information about the nonqualified, defined contribution deferred compensation plans in which our NEOs participate, subject to the terms of such plans. Our NEOs participate during their tenure in the Savings Parity Plan and the Defined Contribution Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“DC SERP”) Plan, both of which became effective on January 1, 2012. The Savings Parity Plan restores company matching contributions under the Visteon Investment Plan, Visteon’s investment and savings plan, lost due to IRS Code limitations. The DC SERP plan provides benefits through a defined contribution approach where eligible employees receive credits equal to 6%, 9% or 14.5% of base compensation and annual incentive, dependent upon their organizational levels. Account balances in both the Savings Parity Plan and DC SERP will be increased or reduced to reflect earnings and losses on hypothetical investments designated by the employee.

(1)The Savings Parity Plan was adopted effective January 1, 2012. The company contributions noted in this table represent accrued contributions to be credited to each participant’s account for the fiscal year reported in this Proxy as well as well as the aggregate earnings and aggregate withdrawals/distributions made to the participants’ accounts during fiscal year 2022.

(2)The Defined Contribution SERP (“DC SERP”) was adopted effective January 1, 2012. This table reflects company contributions, aggregate earnings, aggregate gains/losses, and aggregate withdrawals/distributions made to the participants’ accounts during fiscal year 2022.

(3)These amounts are included in the All Other Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table.

Potential Payments Upon Termination

Set forth below are estimated accelerated payments and benefits that would have been provided to the NEOs remaining employed by the Company at the end of 2022 upon their hypothetical termination of employment (or that would have been accelerated upon a change in control) under specified circumstances as provided in the relevant agreements and plans. This assumes that the relevant triggering event occurred at December 31, 2022 and the figures are based on the Company’s closing common stock price as of December 31, 2022. These disclosed amounts are estimates only and do not necessarily reflect the actual amounts that would be paid to those NEOs, which amounts would only be known at the time that they become eligible for payment and would only be payable if any of the triggering events were to occur under the terms of the relevant agreements. Accrued amounts (other than the accelerated vesting of retirement benefits noted below) under the Company’s pension and defined contribution plans are not included in this table.

(1)Vesting for all unvested stock options would be accelerated in the event of a change in control followed by a qualifying termination, as defined by the terms and conditions of the relevant awards; the amount included in the table above is the excess of the market price of Visteon common stock as of December 30, 2022 over the exercise prices of the unvested stock options.

(2)Mr. Lawande’s RSU and PSU awards are prorated based on service under an involuntary termination without cause or for good reason and fully vest under a qualifying termination after a change in control. The value of the units under each scenario is based upon the market price of Visteon common stock on December 30, 2022 and for PSUs, estimated performance through that date. Additionally, it is assumed that all units are converted or assumed by an acquirer in the event of a change in control, and, thus, such awards do not accelerate upon a change in control with continuing employment.

(3)Represents the unvested values as of December 31, 2022 payable under each scenario for the participant’s accounts in the DC SERP and Savings Parity Plan, nonqualified deferred compensation plans.

(4)The estimated cost of continuing health and welfare benefits is based on current insurance premiums.

(5)The amount of covered or reimbursed services was assumed to be the maximum amount allowable under change in control agreements and the severance plan, as described further below. The amounts to be reimbursed will be only for those expenses actually incurred by the executive, and may be significantly less than the amount presented in the table.

(6)Messrs. Rouquet, Vallance, Pynnonen, and Ms. Trecker’s RSU and PSU awards are prorated based on service under an involuntary termination without cause and fully vest under a qualifying termination after a change in control as defined under the terms and conditions of the relevant awards.The 2022 RSU award for Mr. Vallance will vest 100% as he has met the retirement eligible criteria of 60 years of age and 5 years of service. The value of the units under each scenario is based upon the market price of Visteon common stock on December 30, 2022 and for the PSUs, estimated performance through that date. Additionally, it is assumed that all units are converted or assumed by an acquirer in the event of a change in control, and, thus, such awards do not accelerate upon a change in control with continuing employment.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON CHANGE IN CONTROL

The Incentive Plans contain “double-trigger” award acceleration provisions upon a change in control. Thus, awards under the Incentive Plans will be accelerated upon a change in control (without a subsequent termination of employment) only if the awards are not assumed, converted or replaced by the acquirer or continuing entity.

CHANGE IN CONTROL FOLLOWED BY QUALIFYING TERMINATION

Visteon entered into stand-alone change in control agreements with all of its NEOs, except Mr. Lawande. Mr. Lawande’s employment agreement includes similar change in control provisions. These agreements provide for certain benefits if a qualifying termination occurs following a change in control of the Company, as defined by the agreements. For the NEOs, a qualifying termination includes a termination of the executive’s employment without “cause” or a resignation for “good reason” (as defined by the agreements), in each case, within two years after the change in control. The benefits are designed to retain and motivate employees during the uncertain process that precedes a change in control transaction.

Subject to the terms of the applicable agreements and plans, the NEOs are entitled to the following benefits pursuant to the change in control or employment agreements so long as the executive signs an acceptable release of claims:

•The payment of any unpaid salary or incentive compensation, together with all other compensation and benefits payable to the executive under the terms of the Company’s compensation and benefits plans, earned through the date of termination;

Visteon Corporation

2023 Proxy Statement


Compensation Committee Report			Table of Contents

•A severance payment in the amount of one and a half times (other than Mr. Lawande, which is two times) base salary plus the executive’s target annual bonus;

•The continuation for 18 months following termination of life, accident and health insurance benefits for the executive and his or her dependents;

•All contingent annual bonus awards under the Incentive Plans (or other plans) for periods that have not been completed become payable on a pro-rated basis assuming the achievement at target levels of any individual or corporate performance goals;

•The benefits then accrued by or payable to the executive under the SERP, the Pension Parity Plan and the Savings Parity Plan, as applicable, or any other nonqualified plan providing supplemental retirement or deferred compensation benefits, become fully vested; and

•Reimbursement for the cost of outplacement services for up to 12 months following termination, not to exceed $50,000.

In addition to any other benefits described above or set forth in an award agreement at the time of the award, the Incentive Plans provide for the following benefits upon a change in control followed by a qualifying termination of employment within 24 months following such change in control when such awards have been assumed, converted or replaced by the acquirer or other continuing entity:

•Plan awards will become immediately fully vested if the holder’s employment is terminated without “cause” or for “good reason” (each as defined in the applicable change in control or employment agreement) within 24 months following the change in control; or

•For plan awards that relate to performance periods that have not been completed as of the date of the change in control and that are not then vested, the awards will become immediately vested to the extent that the performance metrics have been achieved as of the date of such change in control (with any remainder being forfeited) if the holder’s employment is terminated without “cause” or for “good reason” (each as defined in the applicable change in control or employment agreement) within 24 months following the change in control.

Change in control payments for the NEOs are not grossed up for the payment of any section 4999 excise taxes. In addition, if such payments would be subject to section 4999 excise taxes, the applicable payments will be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion of the total payments is subject to excise tax, but only if the net amount of such reduced payments is not less than the net amount of the total payments without such reduction.

“Good Reason” under the change in control agreements includes the following:

•A negative material alteration is made in the executive’s duties and responsibilities;

•The executive’s annual base salary is decreased (except for certain across-the-board reductions);

•The executive is required to relocate his or her residence or principal office location by more than 50 miles;

•The executive’s incentive compensation or other benefits are decreased by ten percent or more (except for certain across-the-board reductions); or

•The executive is not paid any portion of his or her then current compensation or an installment under any deferred compensation program.

“Good Reason” under Mr. Lawande’s amended employment agreement shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events, without the express written consent of Mr. Lawande:

•The Company’s assignment of duties (including titles and reporting relationships) inconsistent in any material respect with the duties or responsibilities as contemplated by Mr. Lawande’s employment agreement, any failure to re-nominate Mr. Lawande for election by the Company’s stockholders as a member of the Board, or any other action by the Company that results in a significant diminution in Mr. Lawande’s position, authority, duties or responsibilities (provided that any sale or other disposition of assets by the Company shall not, in and of itself, constitute a significant diminution in Mr. Lawande’s position, authority, duties or responsibilities; and provided, further, that a reduction in authority, duties or responsibilities resulting solely from the Company ceasing to be a publicly traded entity shall not constitute Good Reason hereunder); or

•The Company’s material breach of any provision of Mr. Lawande’s employment agreement.

Each executive agrees to comply with confidentiality, non-disparagement and non-competition covenants during the term of the agreement and for a period thereafter. In addition, in the event of a potential change of control, as defined in the change in control agreements, each executive other than Mr. Lawande agrees not to voluntarily terminate his or her employment, except for retirement or good reason, until the earlier of six months after such potential change of control or the occurrence of a change in control.

A “change in control” will be deemed to have occurred under the change in control agreements and Mr. Lawande’s amended employment agreement as of the first day any one or more of the following is satisfied:

(A) any person is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such person any securities acquired directly from the Company or its affiliates) representing 40% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities (subject to certain exceptions as described in the agreements);

(B) within any 12-month period, the following individuals cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the number of directors then serving: individuals who, at the beginning of the 12 month period, constitute the Board and any new director (other than a director whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest, including but not limited to a consent solicitation, relating to the election of directors of the Company) whose appointment or election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders was approved or recommended by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the 12 month period or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so approved or recommended (for these purposes, (x) a threatened election contest will be deemed to have occurred only if any person or entity publicly announces a bona fide intention to engage in an election contest, including but not limited to a consent solicitation, relating to the election of directors of the Company, and (y) a withhold vote campaign with respect to any director will not by itself constitute an actual or threatened election contest);

(C) there is consummated a merger or consolidation of the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company with any other corporation, other than (a) a merger or consolidation which results in the directors of the Company immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to constitute at least a majority of the board of directors of the Company, the surviving entity or any parent thereof or (b) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such person any securities acquired directly from the Company or its affiliates) representing 40% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or

(D) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or there is consummated an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of more than 50% of the Company’s assets, other than a sale or disposition by the Company of more than 50% of the Company’s assets to an entity, at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale.

However, a “change in control” shall not be deemed to have occurred by virtue of the consummation of any transaction or series of integrated transactions immediately following which the record holders of the common stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions continue to have substantially the same proportionate ownership in an entity which owns all or substantially all of the assets of the Company immediately following such transaction or series of transactions.

VOLUNTARY TERMINATION WITHOUT "GOOD REASON” OR INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION FOR “CAUSE”

An executive who voluntarily resigns without “good reason” or whose employment is terminated by the Company for “cause” (each as defined in the change in control agreements, Terms and Conditions of Stock Grants and the individual employment agreement applicable to Mr. Lawande) will be entitled to receive unpaid salary and benefits, if any, he/she has accrued through the effective date of their termination, and the executive will forfeit any outstanding, unvested equity-based awards.

INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION WITHOUT "CAUSE” (ALL NEOs) OR VOLUNTARY TERMINATION FOR “GOOD REASON” (MR. LAWANDE ONLY)

Upon the involuntary termination of employment by the Company (other than for specified reasons, including disability, availability of other severance benefits, and inappropriate conduct), and subject to the terms of the plan described below, all officers elected by the Board of Directors are entitled to severance benefits under the 2010 Visteon Executive Severance Plan as amended. For the NEOs that qualify for any benefits, these severance benefits include a cash payment equal to 150% of the sum of one year of base salary plus their target AI opportunity, a pro-rated annual incentive bonus for the fiscal year during which the termination occurs (based on actual company performance during the period), the reimbursement of medical coverage premiums under COBRA for 18 months following termination, and the provision of outplacement services for up to 12 months (not to exceed $50,000). However, if the eligible executive does not execute an acceptable release and waiver of claims, such executive will only be entitled to a cash payment equal to four weeks of base salary. The severance plan permits executives to receive both the severance benefits under the plan and, if eligible, the retirement benefits described above. For Mr. Lawande, the severance benefits provided under his amended employment agreement (as further described above under “Employment Agreement with Mr. Lawande”) apply in lieu of benefits under the severance plan during the term of such employment agreement.

The Incentive Plans do not accelerate any of the outstanding awards held by executives who are involuntarily terminated. However, the terms and conditions applicable to certain equity awards provide as follows:

•The outstanding RSUs will vest on a pro rata basis if the holder’s employment is involuntary terminated generally without cause or for good reason (each as defined in the applicable terms and conditions), provided that the holder had remained in the employ of the Company for at least 180 days following the grant date; and

•The outstanding PSUs will not be forfeited and will vest on the scheduled vesting date on a pro rata basis if the holder’s employment is involuntary terminated without cause or for good reason (each as defined in the applicable terms and conditions), provided that the holder had remained in the employ of the Company for at least 180 days following the grant date (and the termination is either before any change in control or more than 24 months after any change in control, as defined in the applicable terms and conditions).

TERMINATION UPON RETIREMENT, DEATH OR DISABILITY

Following termination of an NEO’s employment for disability, the NEO will receive all compensation payable under Visteon’s disability and medical plans and insurance policies, which are available generally to the Company’s salaried employees. Prior to 2022,a termination upon the retirement, death or disability of a NEO is generally treated the same as an involuntary termination with respect to the outstanding RSUs and PSUs, with the exception of Mr. Lawande's PSUs.

We have modified the retirement criteria in 2022 to 60 years of age and 5 years of service and RSU award vesting conditions which will result in 100% vesting on retirement (60 years of age and 5 years of service), death and disability for all NEOs excluding Mr.Lawande.Beginning with Mr. Lawande's 2021 PSU grant, if Mr. Lawande retires in accordance with the standard terms of the Company’s retirement definition and the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, concludes that a successor has been hired or identified by Mr. Lawande to replace him as Chief Executive Officer, the PSU awards under the applicable long term incentive programs will continue to vest as if he were employed rather than being prorated. In addition, pursuant to Mr. Lawande’s employment agreement, he is entitled upon death or disability to any contingent annual bonus awards under the Incentive Plans (or other plans) for periods that have not been completed on a pro-rated basis based on actual achievement of any individual or corporate performance goals.

In addition to the payments and benefits described above, the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board may authorize additional payments when it separates an NEO. Visteon might agree to make the payments it deems necessary to negotiate a definitive termination agreement with the terms, such as a general release of claims, non-disparagement, cooperation with litigation, non-competition and non-solicitation agreements, as determined by the Company.

CEO Pay Ratio

The 2022 annual total compensation of the Company’s CEO was $10,537,281. The 2022 annual total compensation of the median employee (excluding the CEO) was $22,213; this employee is located in Mexico. The ratio between the two amounts is 474:1. This ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

As permitted by SEC rules, to identify our median employee, we selected November 30, 2022, which is within the last three months of 2022, as the date upon which we would identify the “median employee,” because it enabled us to make such identification in a reasonably efficient and economical manner. As of that date, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries employed 10,146 employees in 21 countries. All full-time, part-time and temporary hourly and salaried employees of Visteon and its consolidated subsidiaries were included.

To identify the median employee, the Company applied a consistent definition of fixed cash compensation, which for hourly employees included their hourly rate and a reasonable estimate of hours worked. This definition of compensation was chosen because we believe it is a compensation measure that can be applied consistently across the globe. The compensation for any permanent employee who was hired after January 1, 2022, was annualized for 2022. We did not use any statistical sampling, cost-of-living adjustments or exclusions for purposes of this pay ratio disclosure.

Because the SEC rules for identifying the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to use a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio we are reporting, as those companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may use different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their pay ratios.

Pay Versus Performance

In accordance with rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, we provide the following disclosure regarding executive compensation for our principal executive officer (“PEO”) and Non-PEO NEOs and Company performance for the fiscal years listed below. The Organization and Compensation Committee did not consider the pay versus performance disclosure below in making its pay decisions for any of the years shown.

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee is composed of three directors, all of whom are considered independent under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Nasdaq Stock Market listing standards and the Visteon Director Independence Guidelines, and operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. During 2022, the Audit Committee held six meetings. Visteon management has the primary responsibility for the Company’s internal controls and the financial reporting process. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and issuing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The independent registered public accounting firm also expresses an opinion, based on an audit, on the effectiveness of Visteon’s internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee oversees and monitors these processes and reports to the Board of Directors on its findings. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors selects and hires the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee considers the impact of changing auditors when assessing whether to retain the current external auditor, and regarding the mandated rotation, has had direct involvement in the selection process for the lead engagement partner for the Company’s audit. Deloitte & Touche LLP has served as Visteon’s external auditor since 2022.

During the year, the Audit Committee met and held discussions with Visteon management and Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP the overall scope and plans for their audit. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with Visteon management and Deloitte & Touche LLP the audited financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, including the critical audit matters addressed in the audit, as well as the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee also discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP the matters required to be discussed with the Audit Committee by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 1301, Communications with Audit Committees, the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other applicable regulations.

Deloitte & Touche LLP submitted to the Audit Committee the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. The Audit Committee discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP the firm’s independence and considered whether the provision of non-audit services by Deloitte & Touche LLP to the Company is compatible with maintaining the independence of Deloitte & Touche LLP. The Audit Committee concluded that the independence of Deloitte & Touche LLP from Visteon and management is not compromised by the provision of such non-audit services.

Based on these reviews and discussion, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and filed with the SEC.

Fees of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee selects, subject to stockholder ratification, our independent registered public accounting firm for each fiscal year. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Ernst & Young LLP was engaged principally to perform the annual audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting and to provide other services. During the year ended December 31, 2022, Deloitte & Touche LLP was engaged principally to perform the annual audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting and to provide other services. Fees paid to Ernst & Young LLP for 2021 and Deloitte & Touche LLP for 2022 are listed in the following table:


Year Ended December 31	Audit Services Fees	Audit Related Fees	Tax Fees	All Other Fees
2022	$2,384,000	$70,000	$1,125,100	_
2021	$2,790,000	$2,000	$693,000	$400,000

Audit services fees include fees for services performed related to the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the audit of internal control over financial reporting, and reviews of unaudited interim financial information. This category also includes fees for audits provided in connection with statutory filings or services that generally only the principal auditor reasonably can provide to a client, such as procedures related to consents, assistance, and review of documents filed with the SEC.

Audit-related fees include fees associated with assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements.

Tax fees primarily represent fees for tax compliance, tax advice, tax planning and assistance with taxing authority examinations.

All other fees in 2021 relate to insurance claim services.

Audit Committee Pre-approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee has adopted procedures for its annual review and pre-approval of all audit and permitted non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. These procedures include reviewing and approving a budget for audit and permitted non-audit services by category. The Audit Committee considers whether such services are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. The Audit Committee also considers whether the independent registered public accounting firm is best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient service, for reasons such as its familiarity with the Company’s business, people, culture, accounting systems, risk profile, and whether the services enhance the Company’s ability to manage or control risks and improve audit quality. The Audit Committee will, as necessary, consider and, if appropriate, approve the provision of additional audit and non-audit services by its independent registered public accounting firm that are not encompassed by the Audit Committee’s annual pre-approval and not prohibited by law. The Audit Committee has delegated to the Chairman of the Audit Committee the approval authority, on a case-by-case basis, for services outside of or in excess of the Audit Committee’s aggregate pre-approved levels and not prohibited by law. In order to monitor services rendered and actual fees paid and commitments to be paid to the independent registered public accounting firm, the Chairman, or designee, shall report any such decisions to the Audit Committee at its next regular meeting.

The Audit Committee Report does not constitute soliciting material, and shall not be deemed to be filed or incorporated by reference into any other Visteon filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent that Visteon specifically incorporates this Audit Committee Report by reference into any such filing.

Item Two

Approval of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The next proposal on the agenda for the Annual Meeting will be ratifying the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP by the Audit Committee as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2023. Deloitte & Touche LLP served in such capacity for fiscal year 2022, but Ernst & Young LLP served in such capacity in prior years since 2012. Effective upon the filing of the Company's 2021 Form 10-K on February 17, 2022, Ernst & Young LLP was dismissed as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have the opportunity to make a statement at the meeting if they desire to do so and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions. For information regarding fees paid to Deloitte & Touche LLP, see “Audit Fees” above.

The Audit Committee believes that the choice of Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as external auditor is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The Board of Directors Recommends that You Vote "FOR" the Ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for Fiscal Year 2023.

The Board of Directors Recommends that You Vote "FOR" the Approval of Executive Compensation set forth in this proxy statement.

Item Three

Provide an Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we are seeking stockholder approval of the Company’s executive compensation program and practices as disclosed in this proxy statement. While this vote is advisory, and not binding on the Board, it will provide information to the Board and the Organization and Compensation Committee regarding investor sentiment about our executive compensation programs and practices, which the Organization and Compensation Committee will carefully review when evaluating our executive compensation program.

Stockholders are being asked to vote on the following advisory resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s executive officers, as disclosed in the 2023 Proxy Statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosures.”

The Company is committed to maintaining executive compensation programs and practices that are aligned with the Company’s business strategy. As a result, the Company has a strong pay-for-performance philosophy that greatly impacts its decisions regarding executive compensation. Our executive compensation programs seek to align management’s interests with our stockholders’ interests to support long-term value creation and pay for performance. This philosophy and the compensation structure are essential to the Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate individuals who can achieve superior financial results in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. To that end, our program links pay to performance by delivering a significant majority of the total compensation opportunity of our Named Executive Officers in variable or performance-based compensation programs (annual and long-term incentive plans). Performance measures used in the Company’s annual and long-term incentive plans support the Company’s annual operating plan and longer term strategy and are tied to key Company measures of short and long-term performance. Our program also aligns the Named Executive Officers’ financial interest with those of our stockholders by delivering a substantial portion of their total compensation in the form of equity awards and other long-term incentive vehicles.

We urge our stockholders to read “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above, which describes in detail how our executive compensation program and practices operate and are designed to achieve our compensation objectives, as well as the accompanying compensation tables which provide detailed information on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers.

Voting

HOW TO VOTE YOUR SHARES

If you are a registered stockholder, you can vote at the meeting any shares that were registered in your name as the stockholder of record as of the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee, you are not a holder of record of those shares and cannot vote them at the Annual Meeting unless you have a legal proxy from the holder of record. If you plan to attend and vote your street name shares at the Annual Meeting, you should request a legal proxy from your broker, bank or holder of record and bring it with you to the meeting.

Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, we strongly encourage you to vote by proxy prior to the meeting. You may vote your shares prior to the meeting by following the instructions provided in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, this proxy statement and the voter website, www.proxyvote.com. If you requested a paper copy of the proxy materials, voting instructions are also contained on the proxy card enclosed with those materials.

If your shares are held in street name, your broker, bank or other holder of record may provide you with a voting instruction card. Follow the instructions on the card to access our proxy materials and vote online or to request a paper or email copy of our proxy materials. If you received these materials in paper form, the materials included a voting instruction card so you can instruct your broker, bank or other holder of record how to vote your shares.

Visteon Corporation

2023 Proxy Statement


Other Matters			Table of Contents

You should provide voting instructions for all proposals appearing on the proxy/voting instruction card. The persons named as proxies on the proxy card will vote your shares according to your instructions. However, if you do not provide voting instructions with your proxy, then the designated proxies will vote your shares for the election of the nominated directors, for the ratification of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and for the approval of the Company’s executive compensation. If any nominee for election to the Board is unable to serve, which is not anticipated, or if any other matters properly come before the meeting, then the designated proxies will vote your shares in accordance with their best judgment.

How to Revoke Your Proxy

If you are a registered stockholder, you can revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time prior to the Annual Meeting by:

•Notifying our Corporate Secretary in writing at One Village Center Drive, Van Buren Township, Michigan 48111 (the notification must be received by the close of business on June 7, 2023);

•Voting again by Internet or telephone prior to 11:59 p.m. EDT on June 7, 2023 (only the latest vote you submit will be counted); or

•Submitting a new properly signed and dated paper proxy card with a later date (your proxy card must be received before the start of the Annual Meeting).

If your shares are held in street name, you should contact your broker, bank or other holder of record about revoking your voting instructions and changing your vote prior to the meeting.

If you are eligible to vote at the Annual Meeting, you also can revoke your proxy or voting instructions and change your vote at the Annual Meeting by submitting a written ballot before the polls close.

Stockholders Entitled to Vote and Ownership

You are entitled to one vote at the Annual Meeting for each share of the Company’s common stock that you owned of record at the close of business on April 17, 2023. As of April 17, 2023, the Company had issued and outstanding 28,349,493 shares of common stock. Information regarding the holdings of the Company’s stock by directors, executive officers and certain other beneficial owners can be found beginning on page 19.

A list of the stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for review by any stockholder, for any purpose related to the meeting, between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at the principal offices of the Company, located at One Village Center Drive, Van Buren Township, Michigan 48111, for ten days before the meeting.

Other Matters			Table of Contents

Required Vote to Approve the Proposals

The Company’s Bylaws require that a majority of the Company’s common stock be represented at the Annual Meeting, whether in person or by proxy, for the quorum that is needed to transact any business.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

To be elected, directors must receive a majority of the votes cast (the number of shares voted “For” a director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “Against” that nominee), except in the event of a contested election. A properly executed proxy marked “Abstain” with respect to such matter will not be counted as votes “For” or “Against” a director, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. In the event of a contested election (where the number of nominees exceeds the number of vacancies), the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors would be required for the election of directors. A properly executed proxy marked to withhold authority with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.

OTHER PROPOSALS

For each proposal other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the item will be required for approval. A properly executed proxy marked “Abstain” with respect to any such matter will not be voted, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a negative vote.

If you hold your shares in street name through a broker or other nominee and you do not give voting instructions at least ten days before the meeting to your broker or other nominee, then your broker or other nominee may exercise voting discretion only with respect to matters considered to be “routine” by stock exchange rules. On non-routine matters, such as the election of directors, the brokers or other nominees cannot vote your shares absent voting instructions from the beneficial holder, resulting in so-called “broker non-votes.” Broker non-votes are not deemed to be votes cast, and as a result have no effect on the outcome of any matters presented, but will be counted in determining whether there is a quorum. Among the proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm will be considered a “routine” matter. The election of directors and the approval of the Company’s executive compensation will be considered “non-routine” matters.

Where to Find Voting Results

The Company will publish the voting results in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within four business days after the voting results are known. You will also find the results in the investor information section of the Company’s website at https://investors.visteon.com/sec-filings.

Cost of Solicitation

The Company’s directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies in person or by telephone, mail, email, telecopy or letter. The Company has also retained Georgeson LLC to assist it in distributing proxy solicitation materials and soliciting proxies at a cost of approximately $10,000 plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. The Company will pay for soliciting these proxies as well as reimburse brokers and other nominees for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

A stockholder that intends to present business at the 2024 Annual Meeting other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8, which may not be included in the Company’s proxy materials, must comply with the requirements set forth in the Company’s Bylaws. Among other things, a stockholder must give written notice of its intent to bring business before the 2024 Annual Meeting to the Company no later than March 9, 2024, and no earlier than February 7, 2024. However, if the date for the 2024 Annual Meeting is more than 30 calendar days prior to, or after, June 8, 2024, then such written notice must be received no later than the 90th day prior to the date of such meeting, or, if later, the tenth day following the day on which we announce the annual meeting date to the public. This written notice must contain specified information as set forth in the Company’s Bylaws.

You may recommend any person to be a director by writing to the Corporate Secretary of the Company. The period for submitting written notice nominating a director for the 2024 Annual Meeting is not earlier than the 120th day prior to the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting and not later than the 90th day prior to the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting, or, if later, the tenth day following the day on which we announce the annual meeting date to the public. This notice must include, among other things, the name, age, address, occupations and stockholdings of the proposed nominee and such other background materials as the Corporate Sustainability and Governance Committee may request. In order for stockholders to give timely notice of nominations for directors for inclusion on a universal proxy card in connection with the 2024 Annual Meeting, notice must be submitted by the same deadline as disclosed above under the advance notice provisions of the Company's Bylaws and must include the information in the notice required by the Company's Bylaws and by Rule 14a-19(b)(2) and Rule 14a-19(b)(3) under the Exchange Act.

To the extent permitted, the Company may exercise discretionary voting authority under proxies it solicits to vote in accordance with its best judgment on any such stockholder proposal or nomination.

The SEC has adopted rules that allow us to send a single copy of our Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or proxy solicitation and other required Annual Meeting materials to two or more stockholders sharing the same address. We may do this only if the stockholders at that address share the same last name or if we reasonably believe that the stockholders are members of the same family. If we are mailing a paper copy of our proxy materials, the rules require us to send each stockholder at the shared address a separate proxy card.

We believe this rule is beneficial to both our stockholders and to us. Our printing and postage costs are lowered anytime we eliminate duplicate mailings to the same household. However, stockholders at a shared address may revoke their consent to the householding program and receive a separate copy of these materials.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are relevant and useful for purposes of this Proxy Statement to understand our 2022 performance in relation to the Annual Incentive payments the Organization and Compensation Committee approved for our NEOs, as described under “Short-Term Incentive Compensation” and “Annual Incentive Awards.” However, because Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, these financial measures may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measurers of other companies and, thus, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to measures prescribed by GAAP. Rather, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow should be used to supplement the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in order to provide a greater understanding of our performance and the 2022 Annual Incentive payments to our NEOs.
