Part I Item 1. Business Description of Business Visteon Corporation (the "Company" or "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 the Company's global automotive customers, including BMW, Ford, Geely, General Motors, Honda, Jaguar/Land Rover, Mahindra, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Renault, Stellantis, Tata, Toyota, and Volkswagen. Visteon products and services align with key industry trends and include digital instrument clusters, information displays, infotainment, cockpit domain controllers, CognitoAI , battery management systems, high voltage power electronics, and engineering services. Visteon is headquartered in Van Buren Township, Michigan, and has an international network of manufacturing operations, technical centers, and joint venture operations dedicated to the design, development, manufacture, and support of its product offerings and its global customers. The Company's manufacturing and engineering footprint is primarily located in Brazil, Bulgaria, China, India, Japan, Mexico, Portugal, Slovakia, Thailand, and Tunisia. The Company’s Industry The Company operates in the automotive industry which is cyclical and highly sensitive to general economic conditions. The Company believes that future success in the automotive industry is, in part, dependent on alignment with customers to support their efforts to effectively meet the challenges associated with the following trends and developments in the global automotive industry: • Electronic content and connectivity - Digital and portable technologies have dramatically influenced the lifestyle of today’s consumers, who expect products that enable such a lifestyle. The vehicle cockpit is transforming into a fully digital and connected environment with multi-display systems incorporating larger, curved, and more complex displays and the consolidation of discrete electronic control units into a multi-core domain controller. Consumer demand for improved vehicle performance and functionality is driving increased electronic content in vehicles. • Evolving powertrain technologies – Powertrain technologies continue to evolve, with adoption trends varying by region based on regulatory frameworks, infrastructure readiness, and consumer preferences. While battery electric vehicles have gained adoption in certain markets, other powertrain technologies, including hybrid, plug-in hybrid, range-extended electric, and internal combustion engine vehicles with enhanced efficiency, continue to represent a significant portion of global vehicle production. Many of these vehicle architectures incorporate increased electronic content, including digital cockpit electronics and vehicle domain controllers, requiring suppliers to support a broad range of powertrain strategies and regional customer requirements. • Government Regulations - Governments in various regions continue to focus regulatory efforts on domestic production of safer and cleaner transportation, although the pace and scope of such regulations may vary over time and by jurisdiction. These requirements are redefining supply chains through tariff and other regulations while at the same time increasing demand for electronic components that can reduce weight, expedite assembly, enhance fuel economy, improve emissions, increase safety, and enhance vehicle performance. Accordingly, Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEMs") are adjusting their manufacturing plans while at the same time working to improve occupant and pedestrian safety by incorporating more safety-oriented technology in their vehicles. Additionally, in-vehicle connectivity has increased the need for robust cybersecurity systems to protect data, applications, and associated infrastructure triggering various legislation related to connectivity software and hardware. Security features are evolving with advances in sensors and suppliers must enable the security/safety initiatives of their customers including the development of such new advances. • Advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving - The industry continues to advance toward semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles. The Society of Automotive Engineers has defined five levels of autonomy ranging from levels one and two with driver-assist functions whereby the driver is responsible for monitoring the environment, to level five with full autonomy under all conditions. Levels one and two are already popular in the market. Levels three and above utilize a combination of sensors, radars, cameras and LiDARs, requiring sensor fusion and machine learning technologies, as the system assumes the role of monitoring the environment. Level three includes features such as highway pilot and parking assist technology, for which an increased market penetration rate is expected near term. TM 3

• Vehicle standardization - OEMs continue to standardize vehicle platforms on a global or regional basis, resulting in a lower number of individual vehicle platforms, design cost savings, and further economies of scale through the production of a greater number of models from each platform. Having operations in the geographic markets where OEMs produce global platforms enables suppliers to meet OEMs’ needs more economically and efficiently, thus making global coverage a source of significant competitive advantage for suppliers with a global footprint. Additionally, OEMs are looking to suppliers for increased collaboration to lower costs, reduce risks, and decrease overall time to market. Suppliers that can provide fully engineered systems and pre-assembled combinations of component parts are positioned to leverage the trend toward system sourcing. As vehicles become more connected and cockpits more digitized, suppliers that can deliver modular hardware architectures, open software architectures, and a platform based approach to product development will be poised to help OEMs achieve greater reuse of validated hardware circuitry, design scalability, and faster development cycles. • Expansion of digital trends into adjacent markets: The trends driving increased electronic content, digitalization, and software-defined architectures in passenger vehicles are also extending into adjacent markets, including commercial vehicles and two-wheelers. OEMs in these segments are increasingly adopting digital instrument clusters, connected infotainment systems, advanced displays, and centralized electronic architectures to improve functionality, safety, and user experience while managing cost and complexity. As these adjacent markets evolve, OEMs are seeking scalable, modular platforms that can be adapted across vehicle classes and regional requirements, often with shorter development cycles and more price-sensitive end markets. This shift is expanding the addressable market for automotive electronics and software solutions while placing greater emphasis on platform reuse, system integration, and cost-efficient product design.

The following is a summary of customers representing 10 percent or greater of the Company's annual net sales: Percentage of Total Net Sales December 31, 2025 2024 2023 Ford 26 % 23 % 22 % General Motors 12 % 15 % 12 % Volkswagen 10 % 9 % 9 % The Company typically supplies products to OEM customers through purchase orders, which are usually governed by general terms and conditions established by each OEM. Although the terms and conditions vary from customer to customer, they typically contemplate a relationship under which customers place orders for their requirements of specific components supplied for particular vehicles but are not required to purchase any minimum quantities. Individual purchase orders can be cancelled for cause, non-performance, and, in most cases, insolvency or certain change in control events. Additionally, most of Visteon's OEM customers have the option to terminate contracts for convenience; this option permits the OEM customers to impose pressure on pricing during the life of the vehicle program or issue purchase orders for less than the duration of the vehicle program. This has the potential to reduce the Company’s profit margin and increases the risk of loss of future sales under those purchase contracts. The Company manufactures and ships based on customer release schedules, normally provided on a weekly basis, which can vary based on OEM automotive production or dealer inventory levels. Although customer programs typically extend to future periods and although there is an expectation that the Company will supply certain levels of OEM production in those future periods, customer agreements (including the applicable terms and conditions) do not generally constitute firm orders. The price related to these products is typically initially negotiated on an annual basis over the vehicle platform's life cycle. To the extent there are subsequent contractual price reductions, these reductions are intended to reflect the Company's ability to reduce cost through such factors as manufacturing productivity enhancements, material cost reductions, and design-related cost improvements. Certain products may be excluded from such reductions or experience price increases due to shortages of material or other increases in supply chain or other related costs. The Company has an aggressive cost control program that focuses on reducing its total costs intended to offset customer price reductions or negotiating recoveries for increases. However, there can be no assurance that the Company’s cost reduction or recovery efforts will be sufficient to fully offset such price changes. The terms and conditions generally require a warranty on products sold. In most cases, the warranty period is the same as the warranty offered by the OEM to the ultimate customer. The Company may also be required to share in all or part of recall costs if the OEM recalls vehicles for defects attributable to Visteon products. The Company’s Competition The automotive sector remains highly competitive resulting from the ongoing industry consolidation. OEMs rigorously evaluate suppliers on the basis of financial viability, product quality, price competitiveness, technical expertise, development capability, new product innovation, reliability and timeliness of delivery, product design, manufacturing capability, flexibility, customer service, and overall management. The global competitive environment is also being shaped by the rapid growth of Chinese automotive OEMs, which are introducing vehicles that incorporate advanced digital, software, and electrification technologies with competitive cost structures and shorter development cycles. Certain of these OEMs benefit from vertically integrated supply chains, software ‑ centric development models, and close coordination with domestic technology ecosystems, enabling them to bring new vehicle platforms to market more quickly than many established global manufacturers. As they expand beyond the domestic Chinese market—including into Europe, Asia, and other international regions—suppliers are increasingly required to support faster development timelines, meet localized regulatory requirements, and deliver cost ‑ competitive solutions while maintaining global quality, safety, and cybersecurity standards. The Company's primary independent competitors include, but are not limited to, Alpine Electronics, Aptiv PLC, Aumoviad, Denso Corporation, Harman International Industries, Incorporated (a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.), Hitachi Ltd., 6

The Company’s Business Seasonality and Cyclicality The Company’s business is moderately seasonal because its largest North American customers typically cease production for approximately two weeks in July for model year changeovers and approximately one week in December during the winter holidays. Customers in Europe historically shut down vehicle production during a portion of August and one week in December. In China, customers typically shut down approximately one week in early October and one week in January or February. Additionally, third-quarter automotive production is traditionally lower as new vehicle models enter production. Corporate Sustainability and Social Responsibility Attract and Retain The Company’s ability to sustain and grow its business requires the recruitment, retention, and development of a highly skilled and diverse workforce. The Company’s Chief People Officer, reporting directly to Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), oversees its global talent processes to attract, develop, and retain its employees. To attract the best talent, the Company offers market competitive compensation and benefits around the globe, annual and long-term incentive programs, and health and wellness benefits. The Company also provides a variety of resources to help its employees grow in their current roles and build new skills. Hundreds of online courses are available in the Company’s learning management system and individual development plans are encouraged for all of our employees. The Company continues to build tools to be used by leaders to develop employees in their current role and create new opportunities within the organization to learn and grow. Because retention of the employee base is significant to its business strategy, executive management discusses it with the board of directors (the "Board of Directors" or "Board") on a regular basis. Workforce Visteon’s strength comes from a workforce of approximately 10,500 employees operating in approximately 17 countries globally. The Company's workforce is globally distributed with 23% of employees located in the Americas, 34% in Europe, 12% in China, and 31% in the remaining Asia Pacific region. Visteon believes that all employees are leaders and expects leaders to drive operational and financial results and build strong teams. Many of the Company’s employees are members of industrial trade unions and confederations within their respective countries. Often these organizations operate under collectively bargained contracts that are not specific to any one employer. The Company constantly works to establish and maintain positive, cooperative relations with its unions and work representatives around the world. Culture A strong culture requires an environment where the contributions of all employees are encouraged and valued. As a global organization, the Company embraces human differences and harnesses the power of its employees’ varied backgrounds, cultures, and experiences because it is the right thing to do for its people and it creates a competitive business advantage. As of December 31, 2025, the percentage of Visteon's global workforce represented by females was approximately 39%. The Company encourages many forms of communication such as global town hall employee meetings, informal small-group employee discussions, and an open-door policy so all employees have direct access to senior leadership and have the opportunity to ask questions, make suggestions, and provide input. As stated in one of the Company's four core beliefs and values, “We treat each other with respect and embrace our differences.” Workplace Safety The Company requires protective equipment, enforces comprehensive safety policies and procedures, and encourages its employees and leaders to continually look for ways to improve workplace safety. It has implemented and maintains a health and safety management system that is certified to the OHSAS 18001 or ISO 45001 standard. Regulation 7

Visteon operates in a constantly evolving global regulatory environment and is subject to numerous and varying regulatory requirements for its product performance and material content. Visteon strives to identify potential regulatory and quality risks early in the design and development process and proactively manages them throughout the product lifecycle through the use of routine assessments, protocols, standards, performance measures, and audits. New regulations and changes to existing regulations are managed in collaboration with the OEM customers and implemented through Visteon’s global systems and procedures designed to ensure compliance with existing laws and regulations. Visteon works collaboratively with a number of stakeholder groups including government agencies, customers, and suppliers to proactively engage in federal, state, and international public policy processes. Environmental, Health, Safety, and Legal Matters Visteon is involved in various lawsuits, claims and proceedings related to the operation of its businesses, including those pertaining to product liability, environmental, safety and health, intellectual property, employment, commercial and contractual matters, tax, and various other matters. Although the outcome of such lawsuits, claims and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and some may be disposed of unfavorably to Visteon, it is management's opinion that none of these will have a material adverse effect on Visteon's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Costs related to such matters were not material to the periods presented. Further details are provided in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K in Note 19, "Commitments and Contingencies," of the notes to consolidated financial statements. Board Oversight of Environmental, Social, and Governance Practices The Company and its Board of Directors believe positive and responsible business practices strengthen the Company, increase its connection with the stockholders, and help it to better serve its customers and the communities in which it operates. The Company’s commitment to social responsibility extends to a variety of areas including the environment, anti-corruption and trade compliance, responsible sourcing, human rights, labor practices, and worker health and safety. In light of the continued importance of these matters, the Board of Directors and management developed a multi-year roadmap to enhance the Company’s sustainability and social responsibility programs and disclosures, including assessment of the potential risks associated with climate change. This roadmap includes environmental targets aimed at reducing energy consumption, solid waste, water and the reduction of scope 1 and scope 2 CO emissions through the use of renewable energy. The Company’s longer term greenhouse gas ("GHG") emission reduction target for 2030 which includes scope 3 CO emissions, has been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative ("SBTi") and the Company is working to be carbon neutral by 2040. Management provides regular reports and presentations to the Corporate Sustainability and Governance Committee regarding progress toward achieving these targets. The full Board of Directors has oversight of the Company’s environmental and social initiatives as part of its regular strategic reviews of the Company’s operations, products and technologies. The Company’s Product Research and Development The Company’s research and development efforts are intended to maintain leadership positions in core products and provide the Company with a competitive edge as it seeks additional business with new and existing customers. The Company also works with technology development partners, including customers, to develop technological capabilities and new products and applications. The Company’s Intellectual Property The Company owns significant intellectual property, including a number of patents, copyrights, proprietary tools and technologies, trade secrets, and numerous licensing arrangements. Although the Company’s intellectual property plays an important role in maintaining its competitive position, no single patent, copyright, proprietary tool or technology, trade secret or license, or group of related patents, copyrights, proprietary tools or technologies, trade secrets or licenses is of such value to the Company that its business would be materially affected by the expiration or termination thereof. The Company’s general policy is to apply for patents on an ongoing basis, in appropriate countries, on its patentable developments that are considered to have commercial significance. The Company also views its name and mark as significant to its business as a whole. In addition, the Company holds rights in a number of other trade names and marks applicable to certain of its businesses and products that it views as important to such businesses and products. 2 2 8

The Company’s International Operations Financial information about sales and net property by major geographic region can be found in Note 20, "Segment Information and Revenue Recognition" to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company’s Raw Materials and Suppliers Raw materials used by the Company in the manufacture of its products include electronics components, resins, and precious metals. While generally the supply of the materials used are available from numerous sources, semiconductor suppliers and silicon wafer production is concentrated. In general, the Company does not carry inventories of raw materials in excess of those reasonably required to meet production, shipping schedules, and customer safety stock requirements. The Company monitors its supply base and endeavors to work with suppliers and customers to mitigate the impact of potential material shortages and supply disruptions. The automotive supply industry is subject to inflationary pressures with respect to raw materials, labor, and associated freight costs, which can place operational and financial burdens on the entire supply chain. Accordingly, the Company continues to take actions with its customers and suppliers to mitigate the impact of these inflationary pressures in the future. Actions to mitigate inflationary pressures with customers include collaboration on alternative product designs and material specifications, contractual price escalation clauses, and negotiated customer recoveries. Actions to mitigate inflationary pressures with suppliers include aggregation of purchase requirements to achieve optimal volume benefits, negotiation of cost reductions, and identification of more cost competitive suppliers. While these actions are designed to offset the impact of inflationary pressures, the Company cannot provide assurance that it will be successful in fully offsetting increased costs resulting from inflationary pressures. The Company’s Website and Access to Available Information The Company’s current and periodic reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including amendments to those reports, may be obtained through its internet website at www.visteon.com free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company files these reports with the SEC.

The Company’s website and the information contained therein or connected thereto are not intended to be incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Item 1A. Risk Factors Set forth below are some of the most significant risks and uncertainties facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those not presently known or that the Company believes to be immaterial, also may adversely affect the Company. Should any such risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have material adverse effects on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition, cash flow and/or the value of the Company’s securities. This information should be considered in connection with the description of the Company’s business, Management’s Discussion & Analysis, and the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes. Operations Related Risk Factors The Company could be negatively impacted by shortages in deliveries from its supply base, other supplier distress, or suppliers demanding price increases In an effort to manage and reduce the costs of purchased goods and services, the Company, like many automotive suppliers and automakers, has been consolidating its supply base. As a result, the Company is dependent on single or limited sources of supply for certain components used in the manufacture of its products including semiconductor chips, which are integral components of new vehicles and are embedded in multiple vehicle systems, including cockpit electronics. As a result of the semiconductor shortages in recent years including the developing DRAM shortages, the Company continues to work closely with its suppliers and customers to minimize anypotential adverse impacts of the semiconductor and DRAM supply shortages 9
Page 10
and monitor the availability of semiconductor microchips and other component parts and raw materials, customer vehicle production schedules, and any other supply chain inefficiencies that may arise, due to this or any other issue. If shortages of semiconductors (including DRAM) or other critical components from other suppliers develop, continue longer than anticipated, or worsen, it could impact the Company's ability to meet its production schedules for some of its key products or to ship such products to its customers in a timely fashion. Shortages of critical components, including semiconductors and DRAM, also result in increased prices and price volatility for such components and while the Company seeks to recover these increased costs from its customers failure to secure full reimbursement could negatively impact the Company’s financial performance. Supply disruptions could be caused by any one of a myriad of potential problems, such as closures of one of the Company’s or its suppliers’ plants or critical manufacturing lines due to strikes, manufacturing quality issues, mechanical breakdowns, electrical outages, fires, explosions, or political upheaval, as well as logistical complications due to weather, global climate change, volcanic eruptions, or other natural or nuclear disasters, mechanical failures, delayed customs processing, the spread of an infectious disease, virus or other widespread illness and more. Additionally, as the Company grows in best cost countries, the risk for such disruptions is heightened. Similarly, a potential quality issue could force the Company to halt deliveries while it validates the products. Even where products are ready to be shipped, or have been shipped, delays may arise before they reach the customer. The Company’s customers may halt or delay production if one of their other suppliers fails to deliver necessary components. This may cause the Company’s customers to suspend their orders or instruct us to suspend delivery of the Company's products, which may adversely affect the Company's financial performance. If the Company were to fail to make timely deliveries in accordance with contractual obligations, the Company generally must absorb its own costs for identifying and solving the “root cause” problem as well as expeditiously producing replacement components or products. Generally, the Company must also absorb the costs associated with “catching up,” such as overtime and premium freight. Additionally, if the Company is the cause for a customer being forced to halt production, the customer may seek to recoup all of its losses and expenses from the Company. Any supply-chain disruption, however small, could cause the complete shutdown of an assembly line of one of the Company’s customers, and any such shutdown could lead to material claims for compensation. The Company has experienced and may in the future experience supplier price increases that could negatively affect its operations and profitability. The price increases are often driven by raw material pricing and availability, component or part availability, manufacturing capacity, industry allocations, logistics capacity, natural disasters or pandemics, the effects of climate change, inflation, sudden increases in border tariffs, and significant changes in the financial or business condition of its suppliers The Company’s substantial international operations make it vulnerable to risks associated with doing business in foreign countries The Company has manufacturing and distribution facilities in many foreign locations. International operations are subject to certain risks inherent in doing business abroad, including, but not limited to: • changes to international trade agreements; • local economic conditions, expropriation and nationalization, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, and currency controls; • withholding, border, and other taxes on remittances and other payments by subsidiaries; • investment restrictions or requirements; • export and import restrictions, including restrictions of certain products or materials or increases in border tariffs; • the ability to effectively enforce intellectual property rights; • new or additional governmental sanctions on doing business with or in certain countries or with certain persons; and • increases in working capital requirements related to long supply chains. Additionally, the Company’s global operations may also be adversely affected by political events, domestic or international terrorist events, and hostilities or complications due to natural or other disasters. These or any further political or governmental developments in Mexico, China, or other countries in which the Company operates or where its suppliers are located could result in social, economic, andlabor instability. These uncertainties including difficulties in mapping full supply chains could have a material adverse effect on the continuity of the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. Existing free trade laws and regulations, such as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement ("USMCA"), provide certain beneficial duties and tariffs for qualifying imports and exports, subject to compliance with the applicable classification and other requirements. Changes in laws or policies governing the terms of trade, and in particular increased trade restrictions, tariffs or taxes on imports from countries where the Company manufactures products, such as Mexico and China, could have a material adverse effect on its business and financial results. The USMCA will be renegotiated in 2026 and the Company could be adversely impacted if there were a material reduction in the benefits the USMCA affords to the Company. In addition the 10
Page 11
U.S. government increasingly imposes or threatens to impose new tariffs on imported products from Mexico, Canada, the European Union and China and reciprocal tariffs globally. The impact of these tariffs is subject to a number of factors, including the effective date and duration of such tariffs, changes in the amount, scope and nature of the tariffs in the future, any retaliatory responses to such actions that the target countries may take and any mitigating actions that may become available. The Company can provide no assurance that any strategies it implements to mitigate the impact of such tariffs or other trade actions will be successful. Management continues to monitor the volatile geopolitical environment to identify, quantify and assess proposed or threatened duties, taxes or other business restrictions which could adversely affect our business and financial results. In addition, U.S. trade legislation continues to evolve related to barriers on the use of various products and technology from around the world including but not limited to the (i) Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act and (ii) Securing the Information and Communications Technology and Services Supply Chain: Connected Vehicles. The Company can provide no assurance that any strategies we implement to mitigate the impact of any trade actions will be successful. The Company has invested significantly and is expected to continue to invest in joint ventures with other parties to conduct business in China and elsewhere in Asia. These investments may include manufacturing operations, technical centers, and research and development activities, to support anticipated growth in the region. If the Company is not able to strengthen existing relationships, secure additional customers, and develop market-relevant electrification, advanced driver assistance, and semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicle technologies, it may fail to realize expected rates of return on these investments. In addition, failure of the Company’s joint venture partners to comply with contractual commitments or to exert influence or pressure in China may impact the Company’s operations, financial condition and cash flow. The Company cannot predict the outcome of future interactions and it is possible that any future disputes and/or changes to the contractual obligations with the joint venture partner could have a material impact on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flow. The Company’s ability to effectively operate could be hindered if it fails to attract and retain key personnel The Company’s ability to operate its business and implement its strategies effectively depends, in part, on the efforts of its executive officers and other key employees. In addition, the Company’s future success will depend on, among other factors, the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, particularly engineers and other employees with critical expertise and skills that support key customers and products or in emerging regions. The loss of the services of any key employees, and particularly the Company’s CEO, or the failure to attract or retain other qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, ability to secure future programs, operating results, financial condition, and cash flow. Work stoppages and similar events could significantly disrupt the Company’s business Because the automotive industry relies heavily on just-in-time delivery of components during the assembly and manufacture of vehicles, a work stoppage at one or more of the Company’s manufacturing and assembly facilities could have material adverse effects on the business. Similarly, if one or more of the Company’s customers were to experience a work stoppage, that customer would likely halt or limit purchases of the Company’s products, which could result in the shutdown of the related manufacturing facilities. A significant disruption in the supply of a key component due to a work stoppage at any of the Company’s suppliers or sub-suppliers, or reduced orders from the Company’s customers as a result of work stoppages, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flow. Industry and Competition Related Risk Factors The Company may not realize sales represented by awarded business The Company estimates new business wins using certain assumptions, including projected future sales volumes based on data from OEM customers and industry benchmarks. The OEM customers do not generally guarantee production volumes. In addition, awarded business may include business under arrangements that OEM customers have the right to terminate, at any time, without penalty. Therefore, the Company’s actual sales volumes, and thus the ultimate amount of revenue that it derives from such sales, are not guaranteed. If actual production orders from its customers are not consistent with the projections used by the Company in calculating the amount of its new business wins, the Company could realize substantially less revenue over the life of these projects than the projected estimate. The Company must continue to develop, introduce, and achieve market acceptance of new and enhanced products in order to grow its sales in the future 11
Page 12
The growth of the Company's business will be dependent on the demand for innovative automotive electronics products, including but not limited to electrification, advanced driver assistance, semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicle technologies. In order to increase sales in current markets and gain entry into new markets, the Company must innovate to maintain and improve existing products, including software, while successfully developing and introducing distinctive new and enhanced products that anticipate changing customer and consumer preferences and capitalize upon emerging software technologies. A.I will continue to play an increasing role in the Company’s products and generating opportunities but also presents the risk that the Company’s products may be developed more cheaply with A.I. solutions or that a competitor’s A.I. offerings may be preferred over the Company’s product offerings. In addition, the Company may experience difficulties that delay or prevent the development, introduction, or market acceptance of its new or enhanced products. Furthermore, new technologies, including A.I., have also attracted increased competition from new regions and outside the traditional automotive industry, and any of these competitors may develop and introduce technologies that gain greater customer or consumer acceptance, which could have a material adverse effect on the future growth of the Company. The automotive industry is cyclical and significant declines in the production levels of the Company’s major customers could reduce the Company’s sales and harm its profitability Demand for the Company’s products is directly related to the automotive vehicle production of the Company’s major customers. Automotive sales and production are cyclical and can be affected by general economic or industry conditions, labor relations issues, fuel prices, regulatory requirements, government initiatives, trade agreements, the cost and availability of credit, and other factors. Due to overall global economic conditions, including semiconductor shortages and supply chain disruptions, the automotive industry experienced constrained production schedules in recent years. Such shortages and constrained production schedules had and may in the future have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, profitability, financial condition and results of operations. The discontinuation or loss of business, or lack of commercial success, with respect to a particular product for which the Company is a significant supplier could reduce the Company’s sales and harm its profitability Although the Company has purchase orders from many of its customers, these purchase orders generally provide for the supply of a customer’s annual requirements for a particular vehicle model and assembly plant, or in some cases, for the supply of a customer’s requirements for the life of a particular vehicle model, rather than for the purchase of a specific quantity of products. In addition, certain customers have communicated an intent to manufacture components internally that are currently produced by outside suppliers, such as the Company. If the Company's OEM customers successfully insource products currently manufactured by the Company, the discontinuation or loss of business for products which the Company is a significant supplier could reduce the Company’s sales and harm the Company’s profitability. Price pressures from customers may adversely affect the Company’s business Downward pricing pressures by automotive OEMs, while characteristic of the automotive industry, are increasing. Virtually all automakers have implemented aggressive price-reduction initiatives and objectives each year with their suppliers, and such actions are expected to continue in the future. In addition, estimating such amounts is subject to risk and uncertainties because any price reductions are a result of negotiations and other factors. Accordingly, suppliers must be able to reduce their operating costs in order to maintain profitability. Price reductions have impacted the Company’s sales and profit margins and are expected to continue to do so in the future. If the Company is unable to offset customer price reductions in the future through improved operating efficiencies, new manufacturing processes, sourcing alternatives, and other cost-reduction initiatives, the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flow could be adversely affected. The Company is highly dependent on Ford Motor Company and General Motors. Decreases in these customers' vehicle production volumes would adversely affect the Company Ford and General Motors are the Company’s largest customers as a percentage of sales. Accordingly, any change in Ford or General Motors' vehicle production volumes may have a significant impact on the Company’s sales volume and profitability. See Note 18, "Financial Instruments" in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information. Domestic Chinese Suppliers are becoming stronger competitors outside of China and Chinese OEMs for which the Company has less product content are increasingly expanding their market share outside of China, both of which in turn may negatively impact the Company’s financial performance 12
Page 13
Domestic Chinese suppliers are increasingly seeking to supply customers outside of China and domestic Chinese OEMs such as BYD, Xiomei, and Chery are expanding their sales outside of China including in Europe, South America, and Asia. While the Company is making efforts to compete with the Chinese suppliers and to supply parts to these OEMs, its product content for the Chinese OEMs is less than with more traditional European and North American OEMs. As the domestic Chinese OEMs gain market share outside of China, the Company’s sales opportunities may be limited and financial condition and cash flow negatively impacted. The Company’s pension expense and funding levels of pension plans could materially deteriorate, or the Company may be unable to generate sufficient excess cash flow to meet increased pension benefit obligations The Company’s assumptions used to calculate pension obligations as of the annual measurement date directly impact the expense to be recognized in future periods. While the Company’s management believes that these assumptions are appropriate, significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in these assumptions may materially affect the Company’s pension obligations and future expense. For more information on sensitivities to changing assumptions, please see “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Item 7 and Note 12, “Employee Benefit Plans” in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Product Related Risk Factors The Company's inability to effectively manage the timing, quality, and costs of new program launches could adversely affect its financial performance In connection with the award of new business, the Company often obligates itself to deliver new products and services that are subject to its customers’ timing, performance, and quality standards. Additionally, as a Tier 1 supplier, the Company must effectively coordinate the activities of numerous suppliers in order to launch programs successfully. Given the complexity of new program launches, especially involving new and innovative technologies, the Company may experience difficulties managing timeliness and detecting undiscovered software errors, bugs, and other defects in its products which may injure the Company's reputation. In addition, new program launches require a significant ramp up of costs; however, the sales related to these new programs generally are dependent upon the timing and success of the introduction of new vehicles by the Company's customers. The Company's inability to effectively manage the timing, quality, and costs of these new program launches could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flow. Warranty claims, product liability claims, and product recalls could adversely affect the Company The Company faces the inherent business risk of exposure to warranty and product liability claims in the event that its products fail to perform as expected or such failure results, or is alleged to result, in bodily injury or property damage (or both). In addition, if any of the Company’s supplied products are defective or are alleged to be defective, the Company may be required to participate in or fund a recall campaign. The introduction of new and complex technologies, such as A.I. features, can increase these and other safety risks, including exposing users to harmful, inaccurate or other negative content and experiences. The Company’s products contain increasingly significant amounts of software and a successful cyberattack on such products could cause materially adverse effects on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition, cash flow, and reputation. In addition, as the Company expands its electrification product offering, including its battery management systems, such products will present a different warranty and product liability risk profile. As suppliers become more integrally involved in the vehicle design process and assume more of the vehicle assembly functions, automakers are increasingly expecting them to warrant their products and are increasingly looking to suppliers for contributions when faced with product liability claims or recalls. A successful warranty or product liability claim against the Company, or a requirement that the Company participate in a product recall campaign, could have materially adverse effects on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flow. Developments or assertions by or against the Company relating to intellectual property rights could materially impact its business The Company owns significant intellectual property, including a number of patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets and is involved in numerous licensing arrangements. The Company’s intellectual property plays an important role in maintaining its competitive position in a number of the markets served. The Company may directly or through a supplied component utilize intellectual property in its products that requires a license from a third-party. While the Company believes that such licenses generally can be obtained by the Company, or supplier if a supplied component, we may not be able to obtain the necessary licenses on commercially acceptable terms or at all. Failure by the Company or its suppliers to obtain the right to use third-party intellectual property could preclude the Company from selling certain products, and developments or assertions 13
Page 14
by or against the Company relating to intellectual property rights could have materially adverse effects on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flow. The Company also derives significant revenue from countries outside the U.S. (including China) and significant intellectual property assets are licensed to joint ventures and customers in foreign jurisdictions. If a material intellectual property theft or forced transfer were to occur, it could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flow. In addition, the Company has continued to see an increase in patent claims related to connectivity-enabled products where other patent-holding companies are seeking royalties and often enter into litigation based on patent infringement allegations. Significant technological developments by others also could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flow. Advances in A.I. technology may generate developments against which existing intellectual property laws may not adequately protect and which may also give rise to a proliferation of infringement which we may not be able to address effectively. Privacy and security concerns (including cybersecurity) relating to the Company's current or future products and services could have a material adverse impact on our business, damage its reputation and deter current and potential users from using them The Company’s products and services contain digital technology designed to support connected vehicles, and for some products may also collect and store sensitive end-user data (that may include personally identifiable information). Despite the security and risk-prevention measures the Company has implemented, including related to cybersecurity, our products or services could be breached, damaged, taken over, or otherwise interrupted by a system failure, cyberattack, malicious computer software (including malware or ransomware), unauthorized physical or electronic access, or other natural or man-made incidents or disasters. Failure of the Company’s products or services to effectively protect against these vulnerabilities can damage its reputation and adversely affect its business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flow. Further, through our products or services, the Company may gain access to sensitive, confidential, or personal data or information that is subject to privacy and security laws, regulations, and customer-imposed controls. Concerns about the Company's practices with regard to the collection, use, disclosure, or security of personal information or other privacy related matters, even if unfounded, could damage its reputation and adversely affect its operating results. Regulatory authorities around the world are considering a number of legislative and regulatory proposals concerning cybersecurity and data protection. In addition, the interpretation and application of consumer and data protection laws in the U.S., Europe, and elsewhere are often uncertain and in flux. Complying with these various laws could cause the Company to incur substantial costs. Tax Related Risk Factors The Company’s expected annual effective tax rate could be volatile and could materially change as a result of changes in mix of earnings and other factors, including changes in tax laws and tax audits We are subject to income taxes in the United States and in numerous foreign jurisdictions, and our tax expense is dependent on the application of complex tax laws and regulations in these jurisdictions. Changes in tax laws or tax rates, the interpretation or enforcement of existing tax laws, or the outcome of audits by tax authorities could adversely affect our effective tax rate, results of operations, and cash flows. Our effective tax rate may fluctuate due to a variety of factors, including changes in the geographic mix of earnings, the availability of tax credits and deductions, changes in applicable tax rates, modifications to tariff or cross ‑ border tax regimes, changes in accounting principles, or unfavorable resolutions of tax examinations. We also maintain deferred tax assets, the realization of which depends on future taxable income and the continued availability of underlying tax attributes. Changes in applicable tax laws or regulations, or changes in our business performance, could affect our ability to realize these deferred tax assets and could result in additional valuation allowances. In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to examination by tax authorities in multiple jurisdictions, and additional audits may be initiated or existing audits expanded. The outcomes of these examinations are uncertain and could result in increases to our tax liabilities. Recent and ongoing legislative developments may also create uncertainty in our future tax position. The enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”) in 2025 introduced revisions affecting the utilization of foreign tax credits, requiring us to reassess the realizability of related carryforwards following our change in accounting method for assessing deferred tax assets 14
Page 15
from an incremental cash ‑ tax ‑ savings approach to the tax ‑ law ‑ ordering approach. This reassessment resulted in the recognition of an additional valuation allowance during 2025. Global tax reform initiatives, including the OECD’s implementation of a 15% global minimum tax, continue to evolve, and the timing, scope, and application of these rules to U.S.-based multinational corporations remain uncertain. As jurisdictions adopt and interpret these rules, our effective tax rate, tax liabilities, and cash tax obligations could be adversely affected. For example, the enactment of local Qualified Domestic Minimum Top ‑ Up Taxes (QDMTT) in Brazil and the application of its 15% minimum tax framework in 2025 led us to forego excluding certain tax incentives from the tax base to facilitate the tax ‑ efficient repatriation of earnings from a Brazilian affiliate, which resulted in a higher effective tax rate in that jurisdiction. The Company may not be able to fully utilize its U.S. net operating losses and other tax attributes The Company has net operating losses ("NOLs") and other tax attributes which could be limited if there is a subsequent change of ownership. If the Company were to have a change of ownership within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Sections 382 and 383, its NOLs and other tax attributes could be limited to an amount equal to its market capitalization at the time of the ownership change multiplied by the federal long-term tax exempt-rate. The Company cannot provide any assurance that such an ownership change will not occur, in which case the availability of the Company's NOLs and other tax attributes could be significantly limited or possibly eliminated. Certain tax benefit preservation provisions of its corporate documents could delay or prevent a change of control, even if that change would be beneficial to stockholders. Market Related Risk Factors The Company is subject to significant foreign currency risks and foreign exchange exposure As a result of Visteon's global presence, a significant portion of the Company's revenues and expenses are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company is therefore subject to foreign currency risks and foreign exchange exposure. The Company's primary exposures are to the Brazilian real, British pound, Bulgarian Lev, Chinese renminbi, euro, Indian rupee, Japanese yen, Korean won, Mexican peso, and Thai bhat. While we typically hedge our foreign currency exposure, volatility in certain exchange rates could adversely impact Visteon's financial results and comparability of results from period to period. General Risk Factors A disruption to the Company's infrastructure of information technology systems, or those of our customers, suppliers, sub-suppliers, partners, service providers or other contract parties, including because of cyberattack, could adversely affect its business and financial performance The Company relies on the accuracy, capacity, and security of its infrastructure and information technology systems to conduct its business. The Company's systems have in prior years and could in the future be breached, damaged, taken over, or otherwise interrupted by a system failure, cyberattack, malicious computer software (including malware or ransomware), unauthorized physical or electronic access, or other natural or man-made incidents or disasters. For example, on July 3, 2023, the Company experienced a disruption of certain IT services and assets at its third-party data center provider that resulted in some IT services experiencing interruptions and loss of data and on December 15, 2024, several servers at a single plant in China were encrypted but the Company’s response plans including back-up restoration negated any material impact to the Company. These types of events have occurred with more frequency within our industry and are expected to continue (and possibly increase) moving forward. Any of these events could result in, amongst other things, the following to the Company or its customers, suppliers, sub-suppliers, or other contract parties: (i) a business disruption, including plant operations, (ii) theft of intellectual property, including trade secrets, or (iii) unauthorized access to personal information, including employee or end consumer personal information. Although the Company has placed a high priority on cybersecurity and continues to enhance (through investments) our controls, processes and practices designed to protect our operational systems and products from a breach, the Company’s actions may not be quick enough to fully protect our operational systems and products against all vulnerabilities, including technologies developed to bypass our security measures. In addition, the company’s employees or customers may accidentally provide their access credentials or other sensitive information to bad actors who could gain access to our secure systems and networks. Nothing ensures that the Company’s actions or investments to improve its systems, products, processes and risk management framework or remediate vulnerabilities will be sufficient or deployed quickly enough to prevent or limit the impact of any breach. Undetected or unrecognized breaches also create a risk to the Company since it takes time to first discover the breach and then patch the vulnerability. The Company also cannot anticipate all the various methods of attacks and have defenses prepared in advance against these types of attacks, and it cannot predict the extent, frequency or impact these attacks may have. To the extent a breach occurs as noted above, or data is lost, destroyed, or inappropriately used or disclosed, such disruptions could lead to legal claims against the Company and adversely affect the Company’s competitive position, 15
Page 16
reputation, relationships with customers, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows and/or subject us to regulatory actions, including those contemplated by data privacy laws and regulations. Moreover, the Company may be required to incur significant costs to protect against the damage caused by these disruptions or security breaches in the future. The Company is also dependent on the security measures implemented by our customers, suppliers, and other third-party service providers to protect their own systems, infrastructures, and products. A breach that impacts any of these third-parties' systems could result in unauthorized access to the Company’s or its customers' or suppliers' sensitive data or the Company’s own information technology systems. It could also cause the Company to be non- compliant with applicable laws, subject us to legal claims, disrupt our operations, damage our reputation, or cause a loss of confidence in our products or services, any of which could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results, or cash flow. In addition, if the content, analyses, or recommendations that A.I. programs assist in producing are or are alleged to be deficient, inaccurate, or biased, then the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations and our reputation may be adversely affected. The Company is involved from time to time in legal proceedings and commercial or contractual disputes, which could have an adverse effect on the Company The Company is involved in legal proceedings and commercial or contractual disputes that, from time to time, are significant. These are typically claims that arise in the normal course of business including, without limitation, commercial or contractual disputes (including disputes with suppliers), intellectual property matters, personal injury claims, and employment matters. Adverse results of such proceedings and claims may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s profitability and financial position. Climate change, climate change regulations, and greenhouse gas effects could adversely impact the Company’s operations and markets Climate ‑ related regulation, disclosure requirements, and stakeholder expectations in the United States and globally continue to evolve and may increase the Company’s costs, compliance obligations, and operational risks. Governments at the federal, state, and international levels have adopted, or are considering, laws and regulations addressing greenhouse gas emissions, climate ‑ related disclosures, energy use, and supply ‑ chain transparency. Failure to comply with any legislation or regulation could result in substantial fines, criminal sanctions, or operational changes. Moreover, even without such legislation or regulation, increased awareness of, or any adverse publicity regarding, the effects of greenhouse gases could harm the Company’s reputation or reduce customer demand for its products and services. Automakers have also started implementing climate-related initiatives and objectives each year with their suppliers, and such actions are expected to continue in the future. If the Company is unable to meet these new requirements in the future through improved operating efficiencies, new manufacturing processes, sourcing alternatives, and other sustainability initiatives, the Company’s business could be adversely affected. Additionally, as severe weather events become increasingly common, operations of the Company, its customers, and/or suppliers may be disrupted, which could result in increased operational costs or reduced demand for products and services. Natural disasters could cause disruption to the Company’s ability to serve its customers and communities in times of need and extended periods of disruption could have an adverse effect on its results of operations. Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments None Item 1C. Cybersecurity Governance Responsibility for assessing and managing cybersecurity risk includes, but is not limited to, input from our Board of Directors, including the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”), senior management and the Crisis Management Team -a cross functional task force comprised of representatives from key corporate and operational functions. These groups devote significant resources to cybersecurity and the risk management processes to adapt to the evolving threat landscape. Visteon’s internal cyber and information security team oversees and collaborates with external service providers using the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) framework to support a layered cybersecurity strategy focused on prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity matters. The Chief Information Officer (“CIO”) is responsible for developing and implementing our information security program and reporting on cybersecurity matters to the 16
Page 17
Audit Committee and the full Board. The CIO has over 20 years of experience in cybersecurity oversight, and our internal team includes professionals with industry-recognized certifications such as Certified Information Systems Security Professional ("CISSP") and Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control ("CRISC"). The Audit Committee receives quarterly updates on material risks from cybersecurity threats, cybersecurity status, including threat detection, incident response readiness, and strategic roadmap progress. At least twice per year, the full Board reviews key performance indicators, test results, remediation actions, and emerging threats. Management regularly reports cybersecurity risk information to the Board and its committees. Risk Management, Strategy and Testing Our cybersecurity risk management program is integrated into Visteon’s Enterprise Risk Management framework and incorporates external expertise through third-party providers for threat intelligence, monitoring, forensics, and advisory services. Visteon engages a managed security service provider to augment its cyber and information security team and to provide additional monitoring capabilities. Visteon’s cyber and information security team reviews enterprise risk management-level cybersecurity risks regularly, and key cybersecurity risks are incorporated into the annual corporate-wide Enterprise Risk Management assessment. We maintain company-wide policies and procedures addressing cybersecurity matters, including encryption standards, endpoint protection, security monitoring, remote access, access control, and the use of confidential information. Visteon has obtained Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange (“TISAX”) certification labels at multiple global locations. We periodically perform simulations and tabletop exercises at the management level and incorporate external advisors as needed. All employees complete mandatory cybersecurity training and have access to additional modules throughout the year. Our defenses are regularly tested through technical simulations, including red team/blue team exercises, and operational policy reviews with third-party experts. At the management level, our cyber and information security team regularly monitors alerts and meets to discuss threat levels, trends and remediation. Our cyber and information security team conducts regular reviews of third-party hosted applications with a specific focus on any sensitive data shared with third parties. Internal audit collaborates with business owners to review user access and obtain System and Organization Controls (“SOC”) reports from vendors hosting sensitive data. Where SOC reports are unavailable, we take additional steps to assess vendor cybersecurity preparedness. For certain products more susceptible to cybersecurity threats, we apply additional risk assessments and management processes aligned with customer requirements and industry standards, including ISO 21434 for road vehicle cybersecurity engineering. Product-level cybersecurity management is led by a dedicated team within engineering, which reports at least twice per year to the Technology Committee of the Board. The Company has from time-to-time experienced threats to and breaches of its data and systems, including malware attacks. However to date, cybersecurity risks have not materially affected our business strategy, operations, or financial condition. Despite our extensive approach, we may not be successful in preventing or mitigating a cybersecurity incident that could have a material adverse effect on the Company or its stakeholders. See Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” for additional discussion of cybersecurity risks. Item 2. Properties The Company's principal executive offices are located in Van Buren Township, Michigan. At December 31, 2025, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries owned or leased: • 35 corporate offices, technical and engineering centers and customer service centers in 17 countries around the world, all of which were leased. • 13 manufacturing and/or assembly facilities in Brazil, China, India, Japan, Mexico, Portugal, Slovakia, Tunisia, and Thailand, of which 10 were leased and 3 were owned. In addition, the Company's non-consolidated affiliates operate 6 manufacturing and/or assembly locations, primarily in the Asia Pacific region. The Company considers its facilities to be adequate for its current uses. 17
Page 18
Item 3. Legal Proceedings From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal matters and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the Company incurs costs, including but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, the Company does not currently expect any of these matters or proceedings to have a material effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Certain legal proceedings in which the Company is involved are discussed in Note 19, “Commitments and Contingencies” to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” and should be considered an integral part of Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings.” Item 4.

Executive Summary Strategic Priorities 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, incorporates increased connectivity through onboard computing, software and cloud-enabled features, and includes more advanced safety features. The Company has laid out the following strategic priorities: • Technology Innovation - 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, and voice enabled. The Company's broad portfolio of digital cockpit and electrification electronics positions Visteon to support these macro trends in the automotive industry. • Long-Term Growth - 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. • Balanced Capital Allocation with a Strong Balance Sheet - The Company continues to maintain a strong balance sheet to withstand near-term industry volatility and support a balanced capital allocation framework. The Company is primarily focused on allocating capital to high-returning organic initiatives that increase internal capabilities, attractive inorganic growth opportunities, and returning capital to shareholders. In March 2023, the Company announced a $300 million share repurchase program maturing at the end of 2026. The Company has repurchased $226 million of Company common stock under this program. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid a total of $15 million of quarterly cash dividends. During the year ended December 31, 2025, Visteon paid a net cash outlay of $50 million on inorganic growth to acquire a user experience electronics engineering consulting and consumer research company. 23

Financial Results The pie charts below highlight the sales breakdown for Visteon for the year ended December 31, 2025. *Regional sales are based on the geographic region where sale originates and not where customer is located (excludes inter-regional eliminations). Global Automotive Market Conditions and Production Levels Global light-vehicle production rose approximately 4% in 2025, based on January 2026 S&P Global data, while production volumes for the Company’s key customers decreased around 1%. In North America, retail demand remained resilient with U.S. seasonally adjusted retail sales above 16 million units in 2025, although electric-vehicle (“EV”) purchases softened in the fourth quarter following accelerated buying activity ahead of expiring tax credits. Industry production declined slightly, and production at the Company’s major customers declined at a slightly higher rate. In Europe, industry production decreased slightly compared to the prior year, while production at the Company’s top customers declined at a higher rate. Jaguar Land Rover (“JLR”) production was down significantly as operations were temporarily suspended during September and the company slowly ramped up production in the fourth quarter. In China, production increased by 10%, supported by continued share gains of domestic OEMs, and production at the Company’s key customers increased year over year but continued to lag the broader market due to ongoing shifts in OEM mix. For the full year 2026, S&P Global expects global light-vehicle production to decrease slightly compared to 2025, and production volumes for the Company’s key customers are anticipated to decline by a low-single-digit percentage. Market conditions remain mixed across regions, with retail demand in the U.S. remaining stable, though sales of EVs are expected to decline due to the recent expiration of certain tax credits. Retail demand in Europe is forecasted to increase slightly, while retail demand in China is forecasted to decline marginally due to recent changes in government incentives. In 2026, memory chip market conditions may create cost pressures and have the potential to affect industry production volumes, as memory supplier capacity is increasingly allocated to support growth in data center infrastructure. The impact of tariffs on the automotive industry remains uncertain, with the potential to increase production costs and weigh on future vehicle volumes; however, the effects have been minimal to date. The industry continues to face ongoing risks related to tariffs, vehicle affordability, economic uncertainty, geopolitical developments, production disruptions, and changes in customer market share. The potential impact on future periods’ financial statements, results of operations, and cash flows will depend on the evolution of tariff policies, plant production schedules, supply-chain conditions, and the pace of EV adoption. Company Highlights In 2025, Visteon continued to progress on its long-term growth strategy, making meaningful progress across product development, customer expansion, operational execution, and capital allocation, despite a challenging and uneven automotive environment. Sales were $3,768 million, down 3% year over year, reflecting lower customer commodity price recoveries, continued market weakness in China and lower demand for its battery management system. Despite these headwinds, Visteon continued to outperform underlying customer production trends, supported by new product launches, strong performance in displays, and disciplined commercial execution. Net income attributable to Visteon was $201 million, reflecting a decline from the prior year due largely to a higher income tax provision driven primarily by changes in the Company's valuation allowance assessments, offset in part by lower restructuring costs and higher earnings from non ‑ consolidated affiliates. Adjusted EBITDA was $492 million reflecting continued operational discipline and effective cost management despite lower reported sales. 1 24
Page 25
Strategic execution in 2025 was highlighted by strong new business momentum including next-generation cockpit technologies. During the year, Visteon secured $7.4 billion of new business awards across its product portfolio, reflecting broad-based customer demand for digital cockpits and advanced displays. Notably, the Company secured two SmartCore™ high-performance computing (“HPC”) program awards, reinforcing customer confidence in the scalability of its cockpit domain controller architecture and its ability to support increased software content and advanced in-cabin functionality. The 2025 business wins of $7.4 billion included $3.6 billion of new display wins across 17 OEM customers. The Company also launched 18 new display products and expanded beyond its core markets, securing $1.1 billion of new business in two-wheeler and commercial vehicle applications. Operationally, in 2025 Visteon delivered its fifth consecutive year of positive net income attributable to Visteon, by generating $201 million. While net income attributable to Visteon declined year ‑ over ‑ year driven primarily by changes in the Company's valuation allowance assessments, underlying profitability remained solid, supported by strong operational performance. Solid gross margin performance, disciplined cost actions, and continued commercial execution enabled the Company to maintain strong net income despite lower sales and industry volatility. The Company delivered its fifth consecutive year of Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion, reflecting strong cost performance and disciplined commercial management. In parallel with these commercial and operational achievements, Visteon generated strong cash flow from operations during the year, reflecting the strength of its earnings profile, disciplined working capital management, and capital efficiency. The Company also maintained a balanced approach to capital allocation, returning approximately $70 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends while also completing a second engineering services acquisition to further strengthen its capabilities. Taken together, these achievements demonstrate Visteon’s ability to execute across its strategic priorities, deliver measurable financial and operational results, and position the Company for sustained long-term growth. Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial measure, as defined below. 1 1 25

Results of Operations Year ended December 31, 2025 Compared to Year ended December 31, 2024 The Company's consolidated results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2025 2024 Change Net sales $ 3,768 $ 3,866 $ (98) Cost of sales (3,236) (3,335) 99 Gross margin 532 531 1 Selling, general and administrative expenses (202) (207) 5 Restructuring, net (8) (32) 24 Interest income (expense), net 9 2 7 Equity in net (loss) income of non-consolidated affiliates 8 (3) 11 Other income (expense), net (1) 7 (8) Income (loss) before income taxes 338 298 40 Benefit from (provision for) income taxes (125) 8 (133) Net income (loss) 213 306 (93) Less: Net (income) loss attributable to non-controlling interests (12) (10) (2) Net income (loss) attributable to Visteon Corporation $ 201 $ 296 $ (95) Adjusted EBITDA $ 492 $ 474 $ 18 Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial measure, as defined below. Amounts shown reflect the change in accounting principle related to the method for assessing the realizability of U.S. deferred tax assets described inNote 1. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" within Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” Net Sales and Cost of Sales (In millions) Net Sales Cost ofSales GrossMargin December 31, 2024 $ 3,866 $ (3,335) $ 531 Volume, mix, and net new business (106) 85 (21) Customer pricing, net (141) — (141) Currency 1 — 1 Engineering costs, net — (35) (35) Cost performance, design changes, and other 148 49 197 December 31, 2025 $ 3,768 $ (3,236) $ 532 Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 totaled $3,768 million, which represents a decrease of $98 million compared with 2024. Volumes and net new business decreased net sales by $106 million. Customer pricing decreased net sales by $141 million as a result of annual price reductions and lower customer recoveries due to improving supply chain dynamics. Currency increased sales by $1 million due to increases in the euro and Thai baht which were partially offset by decreases in the Indian rupee and Brazilian real. Other cost performance, design changes and other increased net sales by $148 million primarily due to one-time items and sales from the recently acquired engineering services companies. Cost of sales decreased $99 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, when compared with 2024. Volume, mix and net new business decreased cost of sales by $85 million. Net engineering costs, excluding currency, increased cost of sales by $35 million primarily driven by recently acquired engineering services companies. Currency impacts were flat due to increases in the Mexican peso and euro which were offset by a decrease in the Brazilian real. Cost performance, design changes and other items decreased cost of sales by $49 million primarily due to operational efficiencies. 2 2 2 1 1 2 26

A summary of net engineering costs is shown below: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2025 2024 Gross engineering costs $ (364) $ (334) Engineering recoveries 144 143 Engineering costs, net $ (220) $ (191) Gross engineering costs relate to forward model program development and advanced engineering activities and services. Net engineering costs of $364 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, including the impacts of currency, were $29 million higher than the same period of 2024. The increase is primarily due to recent engineering services acquisitions, partially offset by lower personnel cost and favorable impacts from currency. Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $202 million, 5.4% of net sales, and $207 million, 5.4% of net sales, for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Expenses decreased during 2025 due to lower bad debt expense, partially offset by the impact of currency due to increases in the euro. Restructuring, net The Company recorded $8 million and $32 million of net restructuring expense for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These expenses are primarily related to employee severance. The decrease is primarily related to the non-recurrence of the third quarter 2024 restructuring program. Interest, Net Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $9 million, compared to interest income of $2 million in the same period 2024. The increase in interest income, net of expense, during 2025 is due to interest income on increased cash balances and decreased interest expense due to a lower principal debt balance and lower interest rates on debt. Equity in Net Income of Non-Consolidated Affiliates Equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates was income of $8 million and a loss of $3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increased income is due to increased net operating profits at affiliates. Other Income (Loss), Net Other income (loss), net consists of the following: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2025 2024 Pension financing benefits, net $ 8 $ 11 Pension settlement and curtailment (7) (4) Other gains (costs) (2) — $ (1) $ 7 Pension financing benefits, net decreased due to lower expected return on assets related to employee benefit plans. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company entered into an annuity contract to transfer a portion of its U.S. defined benefit pension obligations to a third ‑ party insurer, resulting in a settlement loss of $7 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024 the Company incurred settlement and curtailment losses of $4 million related to an early buyout of individuals in the U.S. defined benefit plan. Income Taxes 27
Page 28
The Company recorded an income tax provision of $125 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a $8 million income tax benefit in 2024. The year ‑ over ‑ year change of $133 million was driven primarily by changes in the Company’s valuation allowance assessments. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company updated its forward ‑ looking profitability projections and reassessed the expected utilization of its deferred tax carryforward attributes using the tax law ordering approach, consistent with the change in accounting principle described in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" within Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." This reassessment reflected the estimated impacts of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”) and refinements to state-level valuation allowance estimates. As a result, the Company recognized a combined $55 million of discrete income tax expense during 2025. Also in the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company concluded that certain deferred tax assets in Germany and Brazil were more likely than not to be realized, resulting in a $20 million non ‑ cash tax benefit. In 2024, the Company determined that additional deferred tax assets in the U.S. and Germany were more likely than not to be realized, resulting in non ‑ cash tax benefits of $71 million and $7 million, respectively. The net year ‑ over ‑ year change in valuation allowance adjustments contributed $113 million to the increase in income tax expense. The remaining $20 million increase is primarily attributable to the overall increase in pretax income, including changes in the mix of earnings and differing tax rates between jurisdictions, withholding taxes, and uncertain tax positions. For additional information regarding the Company’s valuation allowances, see Note 14, "Income Taxes" within Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” Adjusted EBITDA The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to the Company adjusted to eliminate the impact of depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, provision for income taxes, net interest expense, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, restructuring and impairment expense, equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates, and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's financial performance that management believes is useful to investors because the excluded items may vary significantly in timing or amounts and/or may obscure trends useful in evaluating and comparing the Company's operating activities across reporting periods. Not all companies use identical calculations and, accordingly, the Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and does not purport to be a substitute for net income as an indicator of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and is not intended to be a measure of cash flow available for management's discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments, and debt service requirements. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a factor in incentive compensation decisions and to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's business strategies. In addition, the Company's credit agreements use measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with certain covenants. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 28

The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to Visteon for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2025 2024 Change Net income (loss) attributable to Visteon Corporation $ 201 $ 296 $ (95) Depreciation and amortization 109 96 13 Restructuring, net 8 32 (24) Provision for (benefit from) income tax 125 (8) 133 Non-cash, stock-based compensation expense 45 41 4 Interest (income) expense, net (9) (2) (7) Net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests 12 10 2 Equity in net loss (income) of non-consolidated affiliates (8) 3 (11) Other, net 9 6 3 Adjusted EBITDA $ 492 $ 474 $ 18 Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial measure, as defined above. Amounts shown reflect the change in accounting principle related to the method for assessing the realizability of U.S. deferred tax assets described inNote 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" within Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” Adjusted EBITDA was $492 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $18 million compared to 2024. Strong cost performance, disciplined commercial actions, and favorable one ‑ time items, partially offset by higher warranty expense and the negativeeffects of volume and net new business, resulted in a net benefit of approximately $195 million. This improvement was offset by a $141 million reduction from customer pricing and lower recoveries as supply ‑ chain conditions normalized. Adjusted EBITDA was further impacted by $35 million of higher net engineering costs and $1 million unfavorable foreign currency effect, primarily from movements in the euro and Thai baht, partially offset by the Indian rupee. Results of Operations Year ended December 31, 2024 Compared to Year ended December 31, 2023 During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company elected to change its accounting method for assessing the realizability of U.S. deferred tax assets from the incremental cash tax savings method to the tax ‑ law ‑ ordering method. This change is further described in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10 ‑ K. For a complete analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for fiscal year 2024, including the comparison to fiscal year 2023, refer to Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10 ‑ K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 18, 2025. The discussion presented below addresses only those sections with relevant updates resulting from the change in accounting principle.

Amounts shown reflect the change in accounting principle related to the method for assessing the realizability of U.S. deferred tax assets described inNote 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" within Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” Income Taxes The Company's benefit from income taxes was $8 million for year ended December 31, 2024, reflecting a $322 million increase compared to the $330 million benefit from income taxes in 2023. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company released $395 million from its deferred tax valuation allowance related to U.S. federal and certain state deferred tax assets. In 2024, the Company determined that additional U.S. deferred income tax assets were more likely than not to be realized resulting in a $71 million non-cash tax benefit. Adjusted EBITDA The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to the Company adjusted to eliminate the impact of depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, provision for income taxes, net interest expense, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, restructuring and impairment expense, equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates, and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations.

Amounts shown reflect the change in accounting principle related to the method for assessing the realizability of U.S. deferred tax assets described inNote 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" within Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” Adjusted EBITDA was $474 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing an increase of $40 million when compared to 2023. Favorable volumes and mix, and the ongoing benefits of cost and commercial discipline increased Adjusted EBITDA by $37 million. Foreign currency decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $12 million, primarily attributable to the Brazilian real and Japanese yen, partially offset by the Mexican peso. Net engineering costs, excluding currency, increased Adjusted EBITDA by $15 million from favorable timing of recoveries. Liquidity Overview The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, existing cash balances, and borrowings under available credit facilities. The Company's intra-year needs are normally impacted by seasonal effects in the industry, such as mid-year shutdowns, the ramp-up of new model production, and year-end shutdowns at key customers. A substantial portion of the Company's cash flows from operations are generated by operations located outside of the U.S. Accordingly, the Company utilizes a combination of cash repatriation strategies, including dividends and distributions, royalties, and other intercompany arrangements to provide the funds necessary to meet obligations globally. The Company’s ability to access funds from its subsidiaries is subject to, among other things, customary regulatory and statutory requirements and contractual arrangements including joint venture agreements and local credit facilities. Moreover, repatriation efforts may be modified by the Company according to prevailing circumstances. Access to additional capital through the debt or equity markets is influenced by the Company's credit ratings. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s corporate credit rating has been upgraded from BB to BB+ by Standard & Poor’s and from Ba2 to Ba1 by Moody's. See Note 11, "Debt" in the Company's consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a comprehensive discussion of the Company's debt facilities. Incremental funding requirements of the Company's consolidated foreign entities are primarily accommodated by intercompany cash pooling structures and intercompany load agreements. Affiliate working capital lines had availability of $150 million and the Company had $400 million of available credit under the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2025. 2 2 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 31

Cash Balances As of December 31, 2025, the Company had total cash and equivalents of $773 million, including $2 million of restricted cash and $104 million of cash attributable to the Company's joint venture partners should the Company elect to issue cash dividends. Cash balances totaling $573 million were located in jurisdictions outside of the U.S., of which approximately $235 million is considered permanently reinvested for funding ongoing operations outside of the U.S. If such permanently reinvested funds were repatriated to the U.S., no U.S. federal taxes would be imposed on the distribution of such foreign earnings due to U.S. tax reform enacted in December 2017. However, the Company would be required to accrue additional tax expense primarily related to foreign withholding taxes. Other Items Affecting Liquidity During 2025, the Company returned capital to shareholders through both dividends and share repurchases, paying $15 million in quarterly cash dividends and repurchasing 555,997 shares at an average price of $101.70, totaling $57 million. Decisions regarding future dividends remain at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on a range of factors, including general economic conditions, the Company’s financial performance, available liquidity, capital requirements, regulatory considerations, and other relevant matters. These actions reflect the Company’s ongoing commitment to shareholder returns and form an integral part of its broader capital allocation strategy. During the year ended December 31, 2025, cash contributions to the Company's defined benefit plans were $17 million related to its U.S. plans and $7 million related to its non-U.S. plans. Additionally, the Company expects to make contributions to its U.S. and Non-US defined benefit pension plans of $3 million and $8 million, respectively during 2026. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid $15 million related to restructuring activities. Additional discussion regarding the Company's restructuring activities is provided in Note 4, "Restructuring" in the Company's consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company has committed to make investments totaling $20 million in multiple entities principally focused on the automotive sector pursuant to limited partnership agreements. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has contributed $15 million toward the aggregate investment commitments. As a limited partner in each entity, the Company will periodically make capital contributions toward the total commitment amount. On March 2, 2023 the Company's board of directors authorized a share repurchase program of $300 million of common stock through December 31, 2026. Under this program, the Company will repurchase shares at the prevailing market prices pursuant to specified share price and daily volume limits. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company purchased 555,997 shares at an average price of $101.70 related to this program totaling $57 million. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has $74 million of authorized purchases of common stock remaining. Purchase Obligations As of December 31, 2025, the Company has contractual purchase obligations of approximately $44 million through 2029. Leases The Company has operating leases primarily for corporate offices, technical and engineering centers, vehicles, and certain equipment with future lease obligations ranging from 2026 to 2037. Additional discussion regarding the Company's leasing activities is provided in Note 9, "Leases" in the Company's consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Taxes The Company may be required to make significant cash outlays related to its unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, that would be expected to result in a cash outlay of $23 million. The Company further expects that it is reasonably possible that the anticipated settlement of an ongoing bilateral Advance Pricing Agreement (“APA”) with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and the India Tax Authority (“ITA”) could result in payment to the ITA in the range of $10 to $15 million (including interest) by the end of 2026. Given the number of years, jurisdictions and positions subject to examination, the Company is unable to estimate the timing of cash settlement, if any, for its remaining unrecognized tax benefits with the respective taxing authorities. 32

For further information related to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits, see Note 14, “Income Taxes” within Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” to the consolidated financial statements included in this Report. Cash Flows Operating Activities The Company generated $410 million of cash from operating activities during 2025, compared with $427 million in 2024. Cash from operations benefited from strong operating performance including solid profitability and working capital management. The year ‑ over ‑ year change was driven primarily by higher cash tax payments of $25 million and increased incentive compensation of $13 million. Investing Activities Net cash used by investing activities was $181 million and $189 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $8 million decrease in cash used by investing activities compared to the prior year is primarily due to decreased capital expenditures of $4 million and the decrease in acquisition of businesses, net of cash acquired, of $5 million. Financing Activities Net cash used by financing activities was $116 million and $100 million for during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This $16 million increase compared to the prior year is primarily attributable to cash paid for dividends to shareholders of $15 million. Debt and Capital Structure See "Liquidity" above and also see Note 11, "Debt" and Note 15, "Stockholders' Equity and Non-controlling Interests" to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information. Fair Value Measurements See Note 17, "Fair Value Measurements" to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information. Change in Accounting Principle Assessing Realizability of U.S. Deferred Tax Assets Accounting Method Change During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company changed its accounting method for assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets and resulting valuation allowance from the incremental cash tax savings method to the tax-law-ordering methodology. The Company has determined that the tax-law-ordering methodology is preferable because it provides greater transparency regarding utilization of existing attributes and prioritizes existing attributes over future attributes. Refer to Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Critical Accounting Estimates The Company’s significant accounting policies have been disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes under Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain policies relate to estimates that involve matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate is made and different estimates or changes to an estimate could have a material impact on the reported financial position, changes in financial condition or results of operations. Such critical estimates are discussed below. For these, materially different amounts could be reported under varied conditions and assumptions. Other items in the Company's consolidated financial statements require estimation; however, in the Company's opinion, they are not as critical as those discussed below. Business Combinations 33
Page 34
We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest based on their fair values at the acquisition date. When determining the fair values, we make significant estimates and assumptions, especially concerning intangible assets. Critical estimates when valuing intangible assets include expected future cash flows based on consideration of revenue and revenue growth rates and margins, customer attrition rates, future changes in technology and brand awareness, loyalty and position, and discount rates. Any purchase consideration in excess of the fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Amounts recorded in a business combination may change during the measurement period, which is a period not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, as additional information about conditions existing at the acquisition date becomes available. The fair value of contingent consideration arrangements is remeasured annually until settlement, with changes in fair value recognized as Other income (loss). This remeasurement requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, which vary based on the specific criteria of underlying each arrangement. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and recorded in Other income (loss) on the income statement. Revenue Recognition Revenue is measured based on the transaction price and the quantity of parts specified in a contract with a customer. Discrete price adjustments may occur during the vehicle production period in order for the Company to remain competitive with market prices or based on changes in product specifications. Some of these price adjustments are non-routine in nature and require estimation. In the event the Company concludes that a portion of the revenue for a given part may vary from the purchase order, the Company records consideration at the most likely amount to which the Company expects to be entitled based on historical experience and input from customer negotiations. See Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company's consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information. Product Warranty and Recall The Company accrues for warranty obligations for products sold based on management estimates, with support from the Company’s sales, engineering, quality, and legal functions, of the amount that eventually will be required to settle such obligations. These estimates consider several factors including contractual arrangements, past experience, current claims, production changes, industry developments, dealership repair practices, repair time and other relevant information available at the time the estimate is made. Management applies a consistent estimation approach that reflects the most supportable amount within the range of potential outcomes based on the information evaluated. The Company accrues for product recall claims related to potential financial participation in customer actions to provide remediesassociated with actual or threatened regulatory or court actions or the Company’s determination of the potential for such actions. These accruals are based on the specific facts and circumstances underlying each matter, with support from the Company’s engineering, quality, and legal functions and reflect management's best estimate of the obligations that will ultimately be incurred. See Note 19, "Commitments and Contingencies" in the Company's consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information. Restructuring The Company accrues costs in connection with its restructuring of the engineering, administration, and manufacturing organizations. These accruals include estimates primarily related to employee headcount, local statutory benefits, and other employee termination costs. Actual costs may vary from these estimates. These accruals are reviewed on a quarterly basis and changes to restructuring actions are recognized when approved. See Note 4, “Restructuring” in the Company's consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information. Pension Plans Certain Company employees participate in defined benefit pension plans or retirement/termination indemnity plans. The Company has approximately $50 million in unfunded net pension liabilities as of December 31, 2025, of which approximately $38 million and $12 million are attributable to U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, respectively. The determination of the Company’s obligations and expense for its pension plans is dependent on assumptions set by the Company used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. Assumptions, including the discount rate, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, and rate of increase in compensation, are described in Note 12, “Employee Benefit Plans” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which are incorporated herein by reference. 34
Page 35
Actual results that differ from assumptions used are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, accordingly, generally affect recognized expense in future periods. Therefore, assumptions used to calculate benefit obligations as of the annual measurement date directly impact the expense to be recognized in future periods. The primary assumptions affecting the Company’s accounting for employee benefits, as of December 31, 2025, are as follows: Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets The expected long-term rate of return is used to calculate net periodic pension cost. The required use of the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets may result in recognized returns that are greater or less than the actual returns on those plan assets in any given year. Over time the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is designed to approximate actual returns. The expected long-term rate of return for pension assets has been estimated based on various inputs, including historical returns for the different asset classes held by the Company’s trusts and its asset allocation, as well as inputs from internal and external sources regarding expected capital market returns, inflation, and other variables. U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans 2025 2024 2025 2024 Expected Rate of Return 7.06% 7.23% 2.00% - 10.60% 2.00% - 9.60% Long-Term Rates of Return 7.97% 7.06% 2.00% - 11.35% 2.00% - 10.60% Actual Rates of Return 12.81% 3.79% 5.36% (3.33)% The Company has set the long-term rates of return assumptions for its 2026 pension expense which range from 2.00% to 10.60% outside the U.S. and 7.06% in the U.S. Discount rate The Company uses the spot rate method to estimate the service and interest components of net periodic benefit cost for pension benefits for its U.S. and certain non-U.S. plans. The Company has elected to utilize an approach that discounts individual expected cash flows underlying interest and service costs using the applicable spot rates derived from the yield curve used to determine the benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows. The discount rate assumption is based on market rates for a hypothetical portfolio of high-quality corporate bonds rated Aa or better with maturities closely matched to the timing of projected benefit payments for each plan at its annual measurement date. U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans 2025 2024 2025 2024 Weighted Average Discount Rates 5.37% 5.09% 5.69% 5.06% Discount Rates 5.37% 5.09% 1.60-11.60% 1.75 - 10.65% While the Company believes that these assumptions are appropriate, significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in these assumptions may materially affect the Company’s pension benefit obligations and its future expense. The following table illustrates the sensitivity to a change in certain assumptions for Company sponsored U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans on its 2025 funded status and 2026 pretax pension expense. Impact on U.S. 2026 PretaxPension Expense Impact onU.S. Plan 2025Funded Status Impact on Non-U.S. 2026Pretax Pension Expense Impact onNon-U.S. Plan 2025 Funded Status 25 basis point decrease indiscount rate (a)(b) Less than -$1 million -$11 million Less than -$1 million -$5 million 25 basis point increase indiscount rate (a)(b) Less than +$1 million +$11 million Less than +$1 million +$5 million 25 basis point decrease inexpected return on assets (a) Less than +$1 million Less than +$1 million 25 basis point increase inexpected return on assets (a) Less than -$1 million Less than -$1 million (a) Assumes all other assumptions are held constant.

Income Taxes The Company’s income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and liabilities for uncertain tax positions reflect management’s estimates of current and future tax obligations. Because the Company is subject to income taxation in the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions, the determination of consolidated income tax expense requires significant judgment. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets in each jurisdiction, the Company evaluates all available positive and negative evidence, including historical and projected future taxable income, the expected timing of reversals of temporary differences, anticipated utilization of tax attribute carryforwards such as net operating losses and foreign tax credits, and available tax planning strategies. Management’s estimates of future taxable income incorporate historical operating results, adjusted for non ‑ recurring items, together with forecasts of federal, state, and foreign pretax operating income. These projections require significant judgment and are consistent with the assumptions used to manage the Company’s operations. When the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized, the Company records a valuation allowance. Effective December 31, 2025, the Company changed its method for assessing the realizability of U.S. deferred tax assets from an incremental cash ‑ tax ‑ savings approach to the tax ‑ law ‑ ordering approach. Management determined that the tax ‑ law ‑ ordering approach is preferable because it provides greater transparency regarding the expected utilization of existing tax attributes, prioritizes existing attributes over future attributes, aligns with prevailing practice, and is consistent with approaches publicly disclosed by peer companies. Under this approach, the Company evaluates whether existing U.S. tax carryforward deferred tax assets are expected to reduce future tax liabilities when utilized, rather than assessing realizability solely based on incremental cash ‑ tax savings. This change in accounting principle has been applied retrospectively. See Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" within Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" for additional information. Prior to December 31, 2023, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets due primarily to historical cumulative losses. As of December 31, 2023, after evaluating both positive and negative evidence, including projected future taxable income supported by objective and verifiable earnings history, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that a substantial portion of its U.S. deferred tax assets would be realized, and accordingly released a portion of the valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2025, deferred tax assets not expected to be realized primarily relate to (i) foreign tax credit carryforwards, as the Company has generated and expects to continue generating excess credits that are not expected to be utilized prior to expiration; (ii) certain U.S. research credit carryforwards expected to expire unused; and (iii) certain state net operating loss carryforwards expected to expire prior to utilization. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of sufficient taxable income during the periods in which deductible temporary differences reverse. In making this assessment, management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies. Based on historical taxable income and projected future taxable income over the periods in which deferred tax assets are expected to be realized, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of its deferred tax assets, net of existing valuation allowances. See Note 14, "Income Taxes" in the Company's consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information. Recent Accounting Pronouncements See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Company's consolidated financial statements under Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements. 36

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk The primary market risks to which the Company is exposed include changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates and certain commodity prices. The Company manages these risks through operating actions including fixed price contracts with suppliers and cost sourcing arrangements with customers and through various derivative instruments. The Company's use of derivative instruments is strictly intended for hedging purposes to mitigate market risks pursuant to written risk management policies. Accordingly, derivative instruments are not used for speculative or trading purposes. The Company's use of derivative instruments creates exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counter-party to the derivative financial instruments. The Company limits this exposure by entering into agreements directly with a variety of major financial institutions with high credit standards and that are expected to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. Additionally, the Company's ability to utilize derivatives to manage market risk is dependent on credit conditions, market conditions, and prevailing economic environment. Foreign Currency Risk The Company’s net cash inflows and outflows exposed to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates arise from the sale of products in countries other than the manufacturing source, foreign currency denominated supplier payments, debt and other payables, subsidiary dividends, investments in subsidiaries, and anticipated foreign currency denominated transaction proceeds. The Company may utilize derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risks. Forward and option contracts may be utilized to reduce the impact to the Company's cash flow from adverse movements in exchange rates. Foreign currency exposures are reviewed periodically, and any natural offsets are considered prior to entering into a derivative financial instrument. In addition to the transactional exposure described above, the Company's operating results are impacted by the translation of its foreign operating income into U.S. dollars. The Company does not enter into currency exchange rate contracts to mitigate this exposure. The hypothetical pretax gain or loss in fair value from a 10% favorable or adverse change in quoted currency exchange rates would be approximately $22 million and $20 million for foreign currency derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These estimated changes assume a parallel shift in all currency exchange rates and include the gain or loss on financial instruments used to hedge investments in subsidiaries. Because exchange rates typically do not all move in the same direction, the estimate may overstate the impact of changing exchange rates on the net fair value of the Company's financial derivatives. It is also important to note that gains and losses indicated in the sensitivity analysis would generally be offset by gains and losses on the underlying exposures being hedged. Interest Rate Risk See Note 18, "Financial Instruments" to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information. Commodity Risk The Company's exposures to market risk from changes in the price of production material are managed primarily through negotiations with suppliers and customers, although there can be no assurance that the Company will recover all such costs from customers. The Company continues to evaluate derivatives available in the marketplace and may decide to utilize derivatives in the future to manage select commodity risks if an acceptable hedging instrument is identified for the Company's exposure level at that time, as well as the effectiveness of the financial hedge among other factors. 39

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO. As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at the UX Acquisition, which was acquired on May 31, 2025, and whose financial statements constitutes less than 4% of total assets and less than 1% of total revenues of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at the UX Acquisition. Change in Accounting Method As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, during the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company changed its accounting method for assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets and resulting valuation allowance from the incremental cash tax savings methodologyto the tax-law-ordering methodology. This change in accounting method is also communicated as a critical audit matter below. Basis for Opinions The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financialstatements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) providereasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit 41
Page 42
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Revenue Recognition – Non-routine price adjustments- Refer to Note 1 to the financial statements Critical Audit Matter Description The Company’s revenue is measured based on the transaction price and the quantity of parts specified in a contract with a customer. Discrete price adjustments may occur during the vehicle production period in order for the Company to remain competitive with market prices or based on changes in product specifications. Some of these price adjustments are non-routine in nature and require estimation. In the event the Company concludes that a portion of the revenue for a given part may vary from the purchase order, the Company records consideration at the most likely amount to which the Company expects to be entitled based on historical experience and input fromcustomer negotiations. Auditing non-routine price adjustments required a high degree of auditor judgment to evaluate the evidence available from customer negotiations. How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to non-routine price adjustments including the following, among others: • We tested the effectiveness of controls over non-routine price adjustments. • We tested a sample of non-routine price adjustments recorded and compared such adjustments to underlying supporting documentation. • We inspected pricing-related communications between the Company and its customers. • With the assistance of professionals in our firm with expertise in revenue recognition, we evaluated the Company’s conclusions for a non-routine price adjustment. • We evaluated management’s process for estimating non-routine price adjustments by comparing current year adjustments to accruals established in prior periods. • We made inquiries of Company executives responsible for customer relationships regarding customer negotiations and non- routine price adjustments. Income Taxes – Change in accounting principle – Assessing realizability of deferred tax assets accounting method change - Refer to Notes 1 and 14 to the financial statements (also see change in accounting method paragraph above) Critical Audit Matter Description During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company changed its accounting methodology for assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets and resulting valuation allowance from the incremental cash tax savings methodology to the tax-law-ordering methodology. The Company has determined that the tax-law-ordering methodology is preferable because it provides greater transparency regarding utilization of existing attributes and prioritizes existing attributes over future attributes. Auditing the preferability and application of the tax-law-ordering methodology accounting change to the assessment of the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets and resulting valuation allowance required a high degree of auditor judgment 42
Page 44
and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve professionals in our firm with expertise in income taxes and our income tax specialists. How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to the Company’s change in accounting principle to the tax-law-ordering methodology included the following, among others: • We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s evaluation of the preferability and application of the tax-law-ordering methodology. • With the assistance of professionals in our firm with expertise in income taxes, we evaluated the Company’s conclusions that the tax-law-ordering methodology is preferable. • With the assistance of our income tax specialists, we tested the application of the tax-law-ordering methodology, including the underlying data and assumptions used by management and the retroactive application of the change in the accounting method. • We tested the completeness and accuracy of management’s calculation of the income tax expense. • We evaluated the appropriateness of the Company’s disclosures related to the change in accounting method. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Detroit, Michigan February 19, 2026 We have served as the Company's auditor since 2022. 43

VISTEON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation: Visteon Corporation (the "Company" or "Visteon") financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of operations, realization of assets, and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and subsidiaries over which it exerts control. Investments in affiliates over which the Company does not exercise control, but does have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method. All intercompany profits, transactions, and balances have been eliminated. The Company determines whether the joint venture in which it has invested is a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) at the start of each new venture and when a reconsideration event has occurred. An enterprise must consolidate a VIE if it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported herein. Considerable judgment is involved in making these determinations and the use of different estimates or assumptions could result in significantly different results. Management believes its assumptions and estimates are reasonable and appropriate. However, actual results could differ from those reported herein. Events and changes in circumstances arising after December 31, 2025 will be reflected in management's estimates for future periods. Foreign Currency: We translate the assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries to United States (U.S.) dollars at end-of-period exchange rates. We translate the income statement elements of foreign subsidiaries to U.S. dollars at average-period exchange rates. We report the effect of translation for foreign subsidiaries that use the local currency as their functional currency as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of assets and liabilities in a currency other than the functional currency of a subsidiary are reported in current period income. We also report any gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of a subsidiary in current period income. Net transaction gains and losses decreased net income by $3 million, $2 million, and $2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Revenue Recognition: The Company generates revenue from the production of automotive vehicle cockpit electronics parts sold to Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEMs"), or Tier 1 suppliers at the direction of the OEM, under long-term supply agreements supporting new vehicle production. Such agreements may also require related production for service parts subsequent to initial vehicle production periods. The Company’s contracts with customers consist of various governing documents (such as long-term supply agreements, master purchase agreements, purchase orders and customer release orders) which do not reach the level of a performance obligation of the Company until the Company receives either a purchase order and/or a customer release order for a specific number of parts at a specified price, at which point the collective group of documents represent an enforceable contract. While the long-term supply agreements generally range from three to five years, customers make no commitments to volumes, and pricing or specifications can change prior to or during production. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the parts produced are transferred to the customer according to the terms of the contract, which is usually when the parts are shipped or delivered to the customer’s premises. Customers are generally invoiced upon shipment or delivery and payment generally occurs within 30 to 90 days and does not include significant financing components. Customer returns, when they occur, relate to quality rework issues and are not connected to any repurchase obligation of the Company. As of December 31, 2025, all unfulfilled performance obligations are expected to be satisfied within the next twelve months, consistent with customary automotive production cycles. Revenue is measured based on the transaction price and the quantity of parts specified in a contract with a customer. Discrete price adjustments may occur during the vehicle production period in order for the Company to remain competitive with market prices or based on changes in product specifications. Some of these price adjustments are non-routine in nature and require 49
Page 51
estimation. In the event the Company concludes that a portion of the revenue for a given part may vary from the purchase order, the Company records consideration at the most likely amount to which the Company expects to be entitled based on historical experience and input from customer negotiations. The Company records pricing accruals as adjustments to Net sales and Accounts receivable, net, within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. In addition, the Company periodically negotiates cost recoveries with its customers. Recoveries are recorded as adjustments to Net sales when agreements with customers become contractual. The Company adjusts its pricing reserves at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. Revenue recognized in 2025 related to performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was immaterial. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction that are collected by the Company from a customer are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control of the parts has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in Cost of sales. Engineering Costs and Pre ‑ Production Activities: Engineering, testing, and other design and development costs incurred in connection with customer programs are expensed as incurred unless reimbursement is contractually guaranteed under a customer agreement. When reimbursement is contractually guaranteed, the related engineering costs are capitalized as contract assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and subsequently reduced upon receipt of lump ‑ sum or piece ‑ price recoveries from the customer. Repair and maintenance costs, engineering and other pre ‑ production costs that are not contractually guaranteed for reimbursement are expensed as incurred and classified within Cost of Sales. Pre ‑ production costs expensed represent engineering activities that are not contractually guaranteed for recovery. Engineering expenses include salaries and related employee benefits, contractor fees, information technology, occupancy, telecommunications, depreciation and amortization, forward model program development, and advanced engineering activities. Engineering expenses were $220 million, $191 million, and $210 million in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, including customer recoveries of $144 million, $143 million, and $120 million, respectively. Restructuring Expense: Restructuring expense includes costs directly associated with exit or disposal activities. Such costs include employee severance and termination benefits, special termination benefits, and other exit or disposal costs. In general, the Company records involuntary employee-related exit and disposal costs when there is a substantive plan for employee severance and related costs are probable and estimable. For one-time termination benefits and employee retention costs, expense is recorded when the employees are entitled to receive such benefits and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Contract termination fees and penalties and other exit and disposal costs are generally recorded when incurred. Debt Issuance Costs: The costs related to issuance or modification of long-term debt are deferred and amortized into interest expense over the life of each respective debt issue. Deferred amounts associated with debt extinguished prior to maturity are expensed upon extinguishment. Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share Attributable to Visteon: Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Visteon by the average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Visteon by the average number of common and potential dilutive common shares outstanding after deducting undistributed income allocated to participating securities. Performance based share units are considered contingently issuable shares and are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share if their conditions have been satisfied as if the reporting date was the end of the contingency period. Cash and Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less, including short-term time deposits, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, and money market funds to be cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2025, the Company's cash balances are invested in a diversified portfolio of cash and highly liquid cash equivalents including money market funds and time deposits with highly rated banking institutions with maturities less than three months. The cost of such funds approximates fair value based on the nature of the investment. Restricted Cash: Restricted cash represents amounts designated for uses other than current operations and includes $1 million and $2 million related to a Letter of Credit Facility as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Restricted cash also represents amounts of $1 million related to cash collateral for other corporate purposes as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable are stated at the invoiced amount, less an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated amounts not expected to be collected, and do not bear interest. 50
Page 52
The Company receives bank notes from certain customers in China to settle trade accounts receivable. The collection of such bank notes is included in operating cash flows based on the substance of the underlying transactions, which are operating in nature. Bank notes may be held until maturity, exchanged with suppliers to settle liabilities, or sold to third ‑ party financial institutions in exchange for cash. Credit Loss Allowance: The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivable based on the current expected credit loss impairment model (“CECL”). The Company applies a historical loss rate based on historic write-offs by region to aging categories. The historical loss rate will be adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future losses, as necessary. The Company may also record a specific reserve for individual accounts when the Company becomes aware of specific customer circumstances, such as in the case of a bankruptcy filing or deterioration in the customer's operating results or financial position. The allowance for doubtful accounts related to accounts receivable and related activity are summarized below: December 31, (In millions) 2025 2024 2023 Balance at beginning of year $ 10 $ 7 $ 5 Provision — 3 2 Recoveries (1) — — Balance at end of year $ 9 $ 10 $ 7 Provision for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis, or net realizable value. Cost includes the cost of materials, direct labor, in-bound freight and the applicable share of manufacturing overhead. The cost of inventories is reduced for excess and obsolete inventories based on management’s review of on-hand inventories compared to historical and estimated future sales and usage. Product Tooling: Product tooling includes molds, dies, and other tools used in production of a specific part or parts of the same basic design owned either by the Company or its customers. Company owned tooling is capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the expected useful life of the tooling or the term of the supply arrangement, generally not exceeding five years. The Company had receivables of $35 million and $29 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to product tools which will not be owned by the Company and for which there is a contractual agreement for reimbursement from the customer. Property and Equipment: Property and equipment is stated at cost, or if impaired at fair value as of the impairment date. Property and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method of depreciation over the related asset's estimated useful life. Asset impairment charges are recorded for assets held-in-use when events and circumstances indicate that such assets may not be recoverable and the undiscounted net cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts. If estimated future undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the assets, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds fair value. Fair value is determined using appraisals, management estimates, or discounted cash flow calculations. Leases: The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. Right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimates the incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements containing lease and non-lease components which are accounted for as a single lease component. 51
Page 53
Goodwill: Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of October 1, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. Goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level. Management performs a qualitative assessment that considers relevant factors, including overall financial performance, market conditions, and the Company’s market capitalization relative to carrying value. If this assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, the Company performs a quantitative impairment test. Under the quantitative test, the reporting unit’s fair value is compared to its carrying value, and an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of carrying value over fair value. Intangible Assets: Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, and tested for impairment in accordance with the methodology discussed above under "Property and Equipment." Government Incentives: The Company receives certain incentives from governments primarily related to research and development programs. The Company records incentives in accordance with their purpose as a reduction of expense or an offset to the related property and equipment. The benefit is recorded when all conditions related to the incentive have been met or are expected to be met and there is reasonable assurance of their receipt. The Company recorded incentive benefits of $2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company has deferred recognition of $1 million and $3 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which will be recognized once all conditions are met. Product Warranty and Recall: Amounts accrued for product warranty and recall claims are based on management’s best estimates of the amounts that will ultimately be required to settle such items. The Company’s estimates for product warranty and recall obligations are developed with support from its sales, engineering, quality, and legal functions and include consideration of contractual arrangements, past experience, current claims and related information, production changes, industry and regulatory developments and various other considerations. For further detail on warranty obligations see Note 19, "Commitments and Contingencies." Income Taxes: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. This assessment requires significant judgment, and must be done on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. The Company monitors the realizability of its deferred tax assets taking into account all relevant factors at each reporting period. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, all available positive and negative evidence, including historical and projected financial performance, is considered along with any other pertinent information. The Company valuation allowance assessment is based on its best estimate of future results considering all available information. The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions throughout the world and the income tax returns of its subsidiaries in various tax jurisdictions are subject to periodic examination by respective tax authorities. The Company regularly assesses the status of these examinations and the potential for adverse and/or favorable outcomes to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for tax adjustments that it believes are more likely than not to be realized as a result of any ongoing or future examination. Accounting estimates associated with uncertain tax positions requires the Company to make judgments regarding the sustainability of each uncertain tax position based on its technical merits. If the Company determines it is more likely than not a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits, the Company records the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. These estimates are updated at each reporting date based on the facts, circumstances and information available. Due to the complexity of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the Company's current estimate of the liabilities recorded. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are classified as income tax expense. Value Added Taxes: The Company reports value added taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities, on a net basis within Cost of sales. Financial Instruments: The Company periodically uses derivative financial instruments, including forward contracts, swaps, and options to manage exposures to changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company's policy specifically prohibits the use of derivatives for speculative or trading purposes. Change in Accounting Principle 52

Assessing Realizability of U.S. Deferred Tax Assets Accounting Method Change During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company changed its accounting method for assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets and resulting valuation allowance from the incremental cash tax savings method to the tax-law-ordering methodology. The Company has determined that the tax-law-ordering methodology is preferable because it provides greater transparency regarding utilization of existing attributes and prioritizes existing attributes over future attributes. The change in approach, effective December 31, 2025, has been determined to be a change in accounting principle and the effects of the change have been applied and disclosed retrospectively. The effects of the change in accounting principle to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were as follows: 2025 2024 2023 (In millions) Prior ToChange Effect OfChange AsReported Prior ToChange Effect OfChange AsAdjusted Prior ToChange Effect OfChange AsAdjusted Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations: Income (loss) beforeincome taxes $ 338 $ — $ 338 $ 298 $ — $ 298 $ 257 $ — $ 257 Benefit from (provisionfor) income taxes (98) (27) (125) (14) 22 8 248 82 330 Net income (loss) 240 (27) 213 284 22 306 505 82 587 Less: Net (income) lossattributable to non-controlling interests (12) — (12) (10) — (10) (19) — (19) Net income (loss)attributable to VisteonCorporation $ 228 $ (27)$ 201 $ 274 $ 22 $ 296 $ 486 $ 82 $ 568 Basic net income pershare $ 8.38 $ (0.99)$ 7.39 $ 9.93 $ 0.80 $ 10.72 $ 17.30 $ 2.92 $ 20.21 Diluted net income pershare $ 8.26 $ (0.98)$ 7.28 $ 9.82 $ 0.79 $ 10.61 $ 17.05 $ 2.88 $ 19.93 2025 2024 2023 (In millions) Prior ToChange Effect OfChange AsReported Prior ToChange Effect OfChange AsAdjusted Prior ToChange Effect OfChange AsAdjusted Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss): Net income (loss) $ 240 $ (27)$ 213 $ 284 $ 22 $ 306 $ 505 $ 82 $ 587 Comprehensive Income $ 313 $ (27)$ 286 $ 238 $ 22 $ 260 $ 461 $ 82 $ 543 Comprehensive incomeattributable to non-controlling interests 19 — 19 16 — 16 16 — 16 Comprehensive IncomeAttributable to VisteonCorporation $ 294 $ (27)$ 267 $ 222 $ 22 $ 244 $ 445 $ 82 $ 527 53

NOTE 2. Business Acquisition On May 21, 2025, Visteon acquired all equity shares of a user experience electronics engineering consulting and consumer research company for cash of $55 million ("UX Acquisition") not including contingent consideration of up to $9 million to be paid if certain financial and operational milestones are achieved. The UX Acquisition will enhance the Company's ability to serve customers through product development and customer experiences. The aggregate purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows: (In millions) Cash $ 55 Fair value of contingent consideration 4 Total fair value of consideration $ 59 Assets acquired: Cash $ 5 Accounts receivable 8 Intangible assets 37 Property, plant & equipment 1 Right-of-use assets 1 Total Assets acquired $ 52 Liabilities assumed: Deferred tax liability $ 11 Non-current lease liability 1 Other liabilities 9 Total Liabilities assumed $ 21 Goodwill $ 28 The UX Acquisition is accounted for as a business combination. The purchase price was recorded on a preliminary basis at estimated fair values, based on management's assessment as of May 21, 2025. These estimates relied on available information, reasonable and supportable assumptions, and when necessary, assistance from a third-party engaged by the Company. During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, the Company may adjust estimated or provisional amounts of assets and liabilities if new information is obtained related to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Measurement period adjustments are recorded in the period they are identified. As of December 31, 2025 adjustments were made based on updated information provided by management. These adjustments resulted in a decrease in the fair value of contingent consideration of $1 million, an increase in tradename of $2 million, an increase in customer-related assets of $1 million, an increase in deferred tax liability of $1 million, and a decrease in goodwill of $3 million when compared to the preliminary allocation. As of December 31, 2025 the final purchase price allocation has not been completed as the Company is still evaluating net working capital adjustments which may result in a change in total acquisition consideration. Fair values for intangible assets were based on the income approach including excess earnings and relief from royalty methods. As of December 31, 2025, the Company recorded intangible assets including a tradename of $5 million and customer-related assets totaling $32 million. These definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 20 years for tradename and 16 years for customer-related assets. The fair value of contingent consideration was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation which is a financial model that utilizes the probabilities of various outcomes. These fair value measurements are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company incurred $2 million in costs related to the UX Acquisition which are classified as Other income (expense), net on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. 57

On August 29, 2024, Visteon acquired all equity shares of a German advanced design and R&D services company for cash of $54 million ("German Acquisition") not including contingent consideration of up to $13 million to be paid over a period not to exceed three years if certain financial and operational milestones are achieved. The German Acquisition has expanded and strengthened the Company's electronics offerings. Certain measurement period adjustments have been made during the first three months of 2025. Such adjustments resulted in lower cash paid of $1 million and an increase in intangible assets of $1 million, resulting in a decrease to Goodwill of $2 million when compared from December 31, 2025 to December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025 the Company considered the purchase price allocation complete. The contingent consideration liability is remeasured at fair value each reporting period, with changes recognized in earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a decrease of less than $1 million in the contingent consideration liability related to the German Acquisition due to updated performance expectations. The Company acquired an additional business in the fourth quarter of 2024 for cash consideration of $3 million which was allocated to Goodwill as of December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, certain measurement period adjustments were made which resulted in an increase in fair value of intangible assets of $1 million. This measurement period adjustment resulted in a decrease in Goodwill of $1 million when compared to the balance as of December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025 the Company considered the purchase price allocation complete. The pro forma effects of the UX Acquisition and German Acquisition do not materially impact the Company's reported results for any period presented, and as a result, no unaudited pro forma disclosures are included herein. 58

The Company monitors its investments in affiliates for indicators of other-than-temporary declines in value on an ongoing basis. If the Company determines that an other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred, an impairment loss will be recorded, measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the investment. As of December 31, 2025, the Company determined that no such indicators were present. The Company's share of YFVIC reported losses are greater than the carrying value of this investment. Based on the equity method of accounting, losses exceeding the investment balance were not recorded and are monitored as suspended losses. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the total suspended loss attributable to YFVIC was $5 million and $3 million, respectively, for which the Company has no contractual obligation to fund. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company loaned YFVIC $5 million to provide financial support. During the fourth quarter of 2024, YFVIC repaid the loan to the Company in full. Non-Consolidated Affiliate Transactions The Company has committed to make a $20 million investment in multiple entities principally focused on the automotive sector pursuant to limited partnership agreements. As a limited partner in each entity, the Company will periodically make capital contributions toward this total commitment amount. Through December 31, 2025, the Company had contributed approximately $15 million to these entities. These investments are classified as equity method investments. A $7 million dividend was declared and paid by a non-consolidated affiliate during 2025. Variable Interest Entities The Company determined that YFVIC is a VIE. The Company holds a variable interest in YFVIC primarily related to its ownership interests and subordinated financial support. The Company and Yangfeng Automotive Trim Systems Co. Ltd., ("YF") each own 50% of YFVIC and neither entity has the power to control the operations of YFVIC; therefore, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of YFVIC and does not consolidate the joint venture.

Short-Term Debt Terms of the amended credit facility require a quarterly principal payment equal to 1.25% of the original term debt balance. The first required payment was paid during the second quarter of 2023. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has no other short-term borrowings, including at the Company's subsidiaries. The Company's subsidiaries have access to $150 million of capacity under short-term credit facilities. Long-Term Debt The Company has no outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. Interest on the Term Facility loans and Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest at a rate equal to a SOFR-based rate plus an applicable margin of between 1.00% and 1.75%, as determined by the Company's total gross leverage ratio. The Company can benefit from a 5 basis point decrease to the applicable margin due to a sustainability-linked pricing provision based on the Company's annual performance on reducing GHG emissions. The Credit Agreement requires compliance with customary affirmative and negative covenants and contains customary events of default. The Revolving Credit Facility also requires that the Company maintain a total net leverage ratio no greater than 3.50:1.00. During any period when the Company’s corporate and family ratings meet investment grade ratings, certain of the negative covenants are suspended. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides $75 million availability for the issuance of letters of credit and a maximum of $20 million for swing line borrowings. Any amount of the facility utilized for letters of credit or swing line loans outstanding will reduce the amount available under the existing Revolving Credit Facility. The Company may request increases in the limits under the Credit Agreement and may request the addition of one or more term loan facilities. Outstanding borrowings may be prepaid without penalty (other than borrowings made for the purpose of reducing the effective interest rate margin or weighted average yield of the loans). There are mandatory prepayments of principal in connection with: (i) certain asset sales or other dispositions, (ii) certain refinancing of indebtedness and (iii) over-advances under the Revolving Credit Facility. All obligations under the Credit Agreement and obligations with respect to certain cash management services and swap transaction agreements between the Company and its lenders are unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, any amounts outstanding are secured by a first-priority perfected lien on substantially all property of the Company and the subsidiaries party to the security agreement, subject to certain limitations. The principal maturities of long-term debt as of December 31, 2025 are as follows: (In millions) 2026 $ 18 2027 283 Other The Company has a $6 million letter of credit facility, whereby the Company is required to maintain a cash collateral account equal to 103% (110% for non-U.S. dollar denominated letters) of the aggregate stated amount of issued letters of credit and 66

must reimburse any amounts drawn under issued letters of credit. The Company had $1 million and $2 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under this facility secured by cash, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Additionally, the Company had $5 million and $4 million of locally issued bank guarantees and letters of credit as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, to support various tax appeals, customs arrangements and other obligations at its local affiliates. NOTE 12. Employee Benefit Plans Defined Benefit Plans The Company sponsors pay related benefit plans for employees in the U.S., U.K., Germany, Brazil, France, Mexico, Japan, and Canada. Employees in the U.S. and U.K. are no longer accruing benefits under the Company's defined benefit plans as these plans were frozen. The Company’s defined benefit plans are partially funded with the exception of certain supplemental benefit plans for executives and certain non-U.S. plans, primarily in Germany, which are unfunded. The Company's expense for all defined benefit pension plans, is as follows: U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans Year Ended December 31, Year Ended December 31, (In millions, except percentages) 2025 2024 2023 2025 2024 2023 Costs Recognized in Income: Pension service cost: Service cost $ — $ — $ — $ (1) $ (1) $ (1) Pension financing benefit (cost): Interest cost (28) (31) (32) (11) (9) (10) Expected return on plan assets 36 41 41 11 10 10 Amortization of losses and other — — 1 — — 1 Settlements (7) (4) — — — — Restructuring related pension cost: Special termination benefits — — — — (1) (1) Net pension income (expense) $ 1 $ 6 $ 10 $ (1) $ (1) $ (1) Weighted Average Assumptions: Discount rate 5.65 % 5.16 % 5.51 % 5.82 % 5.07 % 5.30 % Compensation increase NA NA NA 2.58 % 2.89 % 2.69 % Long-term return on assets 7.06 % 7.23 % 6.87 % 5.59 % 4.79 % 4.60 % The Company's total accumulated benefit obligations for all defined benefit plans was $640 million and $723 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The annuity contract covered approximately 1,800 participants and resulted in the use of approximately $97 million of plan assets for the settlement of approximately $93 million of the outstanding pension benefit obligation. In connection with the annuity contract, the Company recorded an actuarial loss of $7 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 related to recognition of accumulated other comprehensive income. The third party has unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed the full payment of benefits to plan participants associated with the annuity purchase and benefits payment will be in the same form that was in effect under the U.S. defined benefit plan. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company offered terminate vested participants of the U.S. defined benefit plans a discretionary lump sum distribution option. The amount of participant lump sum distributions amounted to $38 million. Components of the net change in AOCI related to all defined benefit pension plans, exclusive of amounts attributable to non-controlling interests on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, are as follows: 68

Actuarial gains and losses are amortized using the 10% corridor approach representing 10% times the greater of plan assets or the projected benefit obligation. Generally, the expected return is determined using a market-related value of assets where gains (losses) are recognized in a systematic manner over five years. For less significant plans, fair value is used. Benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, are expected to be paid by the Company plans as follows: (In millions) U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans 2026 $ 30 $ 9 2027 31 9 2028 32 10 2029 32 11 2030 33 10 Years 2031 - 2035 169 63 During the year ended December 31, 2025, cash contributions to the Company's defined benefit plans were $17 million related to its U.S. plans and $7 million related to its non-U.S. plans. Additionally, the Company expects to make contributions to its US and Non-US defined benefit pension plans of $3 million and $8 million, respectively during 2026. Substantially all of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan assets are managed by external investment managers and held in trust by third-party custodians. The selection and oversight of these external service providers is the responsibility of the investment committees of the Company and their advisers. The selection of specific securities is at the discretion of the investment manager and is subject to the provisions set forth by written investment management agreements and related policy guidelines regarding permissible investments, risk management practices, and the use of derivative securities. Derivative securities may be used by investment managers as efficient substitutes for traditional securities, to reduce portfolio risks, or to hedge identifiable economic exposures. The use of derivative securities to engage in unrelated speculation is expressly prohibited. The primary objective of the pension funds is to pay the plans’ benefit and expense obligations when due. Given the long-term nature of these plan obligations and their sensitivity to interest rates, the investment strategy is intended to improve the funded status of its U.S. and non-U.S. plans over time while maintaining a prudent level of risk. Risk is managed primarily by diversifying each plan’s target asset allocation across equity, fixed income securities, and alternative investment strategies, and then maintaining the allocation within a specified range of its target. In addition, diversification across various investment subcategories within each plan is also maintained within specified ranges. 69
Page 71
The Company’s retirement plan asset allocation as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and target allocation for 2026 are as follows: Target Allocation Percentage of Plan Assets U.S. Non-U.S. U.S. Non-U.S. 2026 2026 2025 2024 2025 2024 Equity securities 42 % 11 % 32 % 37 % 14 % 14 % Fixed income 30 % 72 % 11 % 12 % 63 % 64 % Alternative strategies 27 % — % 50 % 48 % 7 % 8 % Cash 1 % — % 7 % 3 % 4 % 3 % Other — % 17 % — % — % 12 % 11 % 100 % 100 % 100 % 100 % 100 % 100 % The expected long-term rate of return for defined benefit pension plan assets was selected based on various inputs, including returns projected by various external sources for the different asset classes held by and to be held by the Company’s trusts and its targeted asset allocation. These projections incorporate both historical returns and forward-looking views regarding capital market returns, inflation, and other variables. Pension plan assets are valued at fair value using various inputs and valuation techniques. A description of the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value for each class of plan assets is included in Note 17, "Fair Value Measurements." Discount Rate for Estimated Service and Interest Cost The Company uses the spot rate method to estimate the service and interest components of net periodic benefit cost for pension benefits for its U.S. and certain non-U.S. plans. The Company has elected to utilize an approach that discounts individual expected cash flows underlying interest and service costs using the applicable spot rates derived from the yield curve used to determine the benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows. The discount rate assumption is based on market rates for a hypothetical portfolio of high-quality corporate bonds rated Aa or better with maturities closely matched to the timing of projected benefit payments for each plan at its annual measurement date. The Company used discount rates ranging from 2% to 12% to determine its pension and other benefit obligations as of December 31, 2025. Defined Contribution Plans Most U.S. salaried employees and certain non-U.S. employees are eligible to participate in defined contribution plans by contributing a portion of their compensation which is partially matched by the Company. Matching contributions for the U.S. defined contribution plan are 100% on the first 6% of pay contributed. The expense related to all defined contribution plans was approximately $6 million, $6 million, and $6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. NOTE 13. Stock-Based Compensation At the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders in June 2020, the shareholders approved the Visteon Corporation 2020 Incentive Plan (the “2020 Incentive Plan”), replacing the 2010 stock incentive plan and providing for an additional grant of up to 1.5 million shares. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company registered to provide an additional 1.3 million shares to the 2020 Incentive Plan. Pursuant to the 2020 Incentive Plan, the Company may grant shares of common stock for restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), non-qualified stock options ("Stock Options"), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), performance-based share units ("PSUs"), and other stock-based awards. The Company's stock-based compensation instruments are accounted for as equity awards or liability awards based on settlement intention as follows: • For equity settled stock-based compensation instruments, compensation cost is measured based on grant date fair value of the award and is recognized over the applicable service period. For equity settled stock-based compensation instruments, the delivery of Company shares may be on a gross settlement basis or a net settlement basis. The Company's policy is to deliver such shares using treasury shares or issuing new shares. • Cash settled stock-based compensation instruments are subject to liability accounting. At the end of each reporting period, the vested portion of the obligation for cash settled stock-based compensation instruments is adjusted to fair value based on the period-ending market prices of the Company's common stock. Related compensation expense is recognized based on changes to the fair value over the applicable service period. 70
Page 72
Generally, the Company's stock-based compensation instruments are subject to graded vesting and recognized on an accelerated basis. The settlement intention of the awards is at the discretion of the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. These stock-based compensation awards generally provide for accelerated vesting upon a change-in-control, as defined in the 2020 Incentive Plan, which requires a double-trigger (which would require that the executive's employment terminate without "cause" or for "good reason" following a change in control). Accordingly, the Company may be required to accelerate recognition of related expenses in future periods in connection with the change-in-control events and subsequent changes in employee responsibilities, if any. The total recognized and unrecognized stock-based compensation expense is as follows: Year Ended December 31, Unrecognized Stock-BasedCompensation Expense (In millions) 2025 2024 2023 December 31, 2025 Performance based share units $ 14 $ 11 $ 9 $ 19 Restricted stock units 33 31 27 25 Total stock-based compensation expense $ 47 $ 42 $ 36 $ 44 Performance Based Share Units For the year ended 2025 the number of PSUs that will vest, ranging from 0% to 200% of the target award, is based on a combination of the Company's achievement of a pre-established relative total shareholder return goal compared to its peer group of companies and its average return on invested capital over a three-year period. For the years ended 2023 and 2024 the number of PSUs that will vest, ranging from 0% to 200% of the target award, is based on the Company's achievement of a pre-established relative total shareholder return goal compared to its peer group of companies over a three- year period. A summary of PSU activity is provided below: PSUs Weighted Average GrantDate Fair Value (In thousands) Non-vested as of December 31, 2022 172 $ 128.28 Granted 131 230.65 Vested (137) 84.52 Forfeited (7) 185.07 Non-vested as of December 31, 2023 159 184.67 Granted 98 140.39 Vested (47) 148.85 Forfeited (2) 175.48 Non-vested as of December 31, 2024 208 171.36 Granted 153 121.02 Vested (53) 162.71 Forfeited (9) 142.58 Non-vested as of December 31, 2025 299 $ 148.05 The grant date fair value for PSUs was determined using the Monte Carlo valuation model. Unrecognized compensation expense as of December 31, 2025 for PSUs to be settled in shares of the Company's common stock was $18 million and will be recognized over the remaining vesting period of approximately 1.6 years. The Company made cash settlement payments of less than $1 million for PSUs settled in cash during each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. Unrecognized compensation expense as of December 31, 2025 was less than $1 million for the non-vested portion of these awards and will be recognized over the remaining vesting period of approximately 1.9 years. 71
Page 73
The Monte Carlo valuation model requires management to make various assumptions including the expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. Volatility is based on the Company’s stock history using daily stock prices over a period commensurate with the expected life of the award. The risk-free rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in relation to the contractual life of the stock- based compensation instrument. The dividend yield was based on historical patterns and future expectations for Company dividends. Weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of PSUs granted during the years ended as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2025 2024 Expected volatility 37.33 % 41.71 % Risk-free rate 3.95 % 4.27 % Restricted Stock Units The grant date fair value of RSUs is measured as the market closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. These awards generally vest in one-third increments on the grant date anniversary over a three-year vesting period. Share-Settled RSUs for the Year Ended December 31, 2025 2024 2023 Granted 425,000 309,000 221,000 Weighted average grant date fair value $87.34 $110.33 $159.95 Unrecognized compensation expense as of December 31, 2025 was $23 million for non-vested share-settled RSUs and will be recognized over the remaining vesting period of approximately 1.3 years. Cash-Settled RSUs for the Year Ended December 31, 2025 2024 2023 Granted 32,000 23,000 15,000 Weighted average grant date fair value $95.52 $89.54 $125.30 The Company made cash settlement payments of $1 million during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. Unrecognized compensation expense as of December 31, 2025 was $2 million for non-vested cash settled RSUs and will be recognized on a weighted average basis over the remaining vesting period of approximately 1.5 years. 72

Activity related to non-employee director grants under the 2020 Incentive Plan is included in RSU table above. Additionally, as of December 31, 2025, the Company has approximately 98,000 outstanding RSU's awarded at a weighted average grant date fair value of $97.11 under the Non-Employee Director Stock Unit Plan which vest within one year or less but are not settled until the participant terminates board service. Total RSU's outstanding as of December 31, 2025 is approximately 755,000 inclusive of the table above. 73
Page 75
Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights Stock Options and SARs are recorded with an exercise price equal to the average of the high and low market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The grant date fair value of these awards is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Stock Options and SARs generally vest in one-third increments on the grant date anniversary over a three-year vesting period and have an expiration date 7 or 10 years from the date of grant. The Company received payments of $3 million, less than $1 million, and $6 million related to the exercise of Stock Options with total intrinsic value of options exercised of $1 million, less than $1 million, and $4 million during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. There is no remaining unrecognized compensation expense for Stock Options as of December 31, 2025. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make various assumptions including the expected term, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, and expected volatility. The expected term represents the period of time that granted awards are expected to be outstanding and is estimated based on considerations including the vesting period, contractual term, and anticipated employee exercise patterns. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in relation to the contractual life of the stock-based compensation instrument. The dividend yield is based on historical patterns and future expectations for Company dividends. Volatility is based on the Company’s stock history using daily stock prices over a period commensurate with the expected life of the award. No stock options or SARs were granted in 2025, 2024 or 2023. There are no SARs outstanding as of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 or 2023.

NOTE 14. Income Taxes Income Tax Provision The Company is subject to income taxation in the United States and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Income tax includes current and deferred taxes. Effective for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company adopted ASU 2023 ‑ 09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires enhanced disaggregation of the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid.

Amounts shown reflect the change in accounting principle related to the method for assessing the realizability of U.S. deferred tax assets described inNote 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" The provision for (benefit from) income taxes resulted in an effective tax rate of approximately 38%, -3%, and -124% for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The table below provides a reconciliation of income tax based on the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% to the final provision for (benefit from) income taxes. 1 1 75

Amounts shown reflect the change in accounting principle related to the method for assessing the realizability of U.S. deferred tax assets described inNote 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" The Company's tax rate is affected by the tax laws and rates in the U.S. and other countries where it operates. It also depends on the amount of income earned in each jurisdiction and the extent of losses or income for which no tax benefit or expense was recognized due to a valuation allowance. The U.S. tax on earnings includes the impact of income taxes on foreign source income, such as foreign branch earnings, net of applicable foreign tax credits in various categories (general, foreign branch, global intangible low-tax income (GILTI) and passive). It also considers the estimated impact of unrecognized currency gains and losses in branch operations under final regulations of Internal Revenue Code Section 987. The Company's benefit from foreign derived intangible income (FDII) depends on its annual U.S. taxable income, which is influenced by U.S. tax regulations requiring the capitalization of research and development costs in the current period which also impacts the GILTI calculation. U.S. tax amendments primarily involve adjusting prior year tax returns to deduct foreign taxes before expiration, while the foreign rate differential reflects tax expense on foreign earnings taxed at rates higher than the U.S. statutory rate. The Company’s effective tax rate is also impacted by net changes to valuation allowances, where the Company has determined that it is more-likely-than-not that certain deferred tax assets would not be realized. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded net benefits related to valuation allowances of $142 million, $47 million, and $459 million, respectively (discussed in further detail below). 1 1 77

Deferred income taxes represent temporary differences in the recognition of certain items for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A summary of the components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities are as follows: December 31, (In millions) 2025 2024 Deferred Tax Assets: Net operating losses and credit carryforwards $ 689 $ 884 Employee benefit plans 12 26 Lease liability 40 36 Fixed assets and intangibles 16 15 Warranty 22 16 Inventory 16 12 Restructuring 5 5 Capitalized expenditures 169 152 Deferred income 15 8 Other 108 84 Gross deferred tax assets 1,092 1,238 Valuation allowance (473) (598) Total deferred tax assets $ 619 $ 640 Deferred Tax Liabilities: Outside basis investment differences, including withholding tax $ 66 $ 62 Right-of-use assets 39 34 Fixed assets and intangibles 36 23 All other 18 19 Total deferred tax liabilities 159 138 Net deferred tax assets $ 460 $ 502 Consolidated Balance Sheet Classification: Other non-current assets $ 511 $ 545 Deferred tax liabilities non-current 51 43 Net deferred tax assets $ 460 $ 502 Amounts shown reflect the change in accounting principle related to the method for assessing the realizability of U.S. deferred tax assets described inNote 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" As of December 31, 2025, the Company had available pretax non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards and capital loss carryforwards of $1.4 billion and $17 million, respectively, $72 million of which expire at various dates from 2026 through 2046, and $1.3 billion of which have an indefinite life. The Company had available pretax U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of $880 million at December 31, 2025, which have remaining carryforward periods ranging from 4 years to 9 years. U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards are $115 million at December 31, 2025, which have remaining carryforward periods ranging from 2 to 10 years. U.S. research tax credit carryforwards are $31 million at December 31, 2025. These credits will begin to expire in 2031. The Company had available post-apportionment tax-effected U.S. state operating loss carryforwards of $28 million at December 31, 2025, $26 million which will expire at various dates between 2026 and 2044, and $2 million of which have an indefinite life. In connection with the Company's emergence from bankruptcy and resulting change in ownership on the Effective Date, an annual limitation was imposed on the utilization of U.S. net operating losses, U.S. credit carryforwards and certain U.S. built-in losses (collectively referred to as “tax attributes”) under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Sections 382 and 383. The collective limitation is approximately $121 million per year on tax attributes in existence at the date of change in ownership. 78

Valuation Allowances As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the valuation allowance with respect to the Company's deferred tax assets was $473 million and $598 million, respectively, a net decrease of $125 million. The Company provides a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income of the appropriate character in the respective jurisdiction. The Company considers all available positive and negative evidence and makes certain assumptions in evaluating the realizability of its deferred tax assets. The Company historically provided a valuation allowance against its U.S. net deferred tax assets prior to 2023. However, as the Company continued to improve its earnings, the Company concluded that the positive evidence, which included its forecast of future taxable income using its objective and verifiable earnings history, outweighed the negative evidence (the Company’s history of losses) indicating that it was more likely than not that the Company would be able to realize a benefit for a substantial portion of its U.S. deferred tax assets, resulting in a $395 million partial release of its valuation allowance related to its U.S. deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2023 as estimated under the tax-law-ordering approach following change in accounting principle described in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." As of December 31, 2024, after considering all positive and negative evidence, including improvement in the Company’s U.S. profitability beyond the projections utilized in estimating the realizability of its U.S. deferred tax assets in 2023, the Company concluded that additional U.S. deferred income tax assets were more likely than not to be realized resulting in a $71 million non-cash benefit to income tax expense in 2024 as estimated under the tax-law-ordering approach following the change in accounting principle described in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." The deferred tax assets not expected to be realized based on the Company’s projections primarily relate to: (i) existing foreign tax credit carryforwards, as the Company has been and is expected to continue to generate excess credits in the near term, resulting in an inability to use all of its existing carryforwards prior to expiration; (ii) certain U.S. research credit carryforwards expected to expire prior to utilization; and (iii) certain State operating loss carryforwards that are expected to expire prior to utilization. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company updated its forward-looking profitability projections and reassessed the expected utilization of its deferred tax carryforward attributes using the tax law ordering approach, consistent with the change in accounting principle described in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." This assessment incorporated the estimated effects of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”) as well as refinements to state level valuation allowance estimates. As a result of this analysis, the Company recognized discrete income tax expense of $55 million in 2025. The Company’s change in accounting methodology for assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets and resulting valuation allowance from an incremental cash-tax-savings approach to the tax-law-ordering approach resulted in a cumulative $77 million income tax benefit over the three ‑ year period ended December 31, 2025. The Company recognized $104 million of the benefit in 2023 and 2024, which was offset by a $27 million income tax expense recorded in 2025. As of December 31, 2025, deferred tax assets not expected to be realized relate primarily to remaining foreign tax credit carryforwards after a $184 million reduction to reflect amendments to prior year tax returns to deduct foreign taxes prior to expiration, with such reduction fully offset by a corresponding income tax benefit arising from a decrease in the U.S. valuation allowance, as well as certain U.S. research credits and select state net operating loss carryforwards. The Company continues to maintain a U.S. valuation allowance of $159 million as of December 31, 2025. During the third quarter of 2024 and fourth quarter of 2025, the Company reassessed the realizability of its deferred tax assets in Germany. These reassessments were driven primarily by the Company’s German Acquisition completed in 2024 and the UX Acquisition in 2025, each of which will be combined with the Company’s existing German consolidated tax group. The resulting increase in projected future taxable income led the Company to recognize income tax benefits of $7 million in both 2024 and 2025, respectively. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company reassessed the realizability of its deferred tax assets related to its Brazil affiliate, Visteon Amazonas (“Amazonas”). Based primarily on sustained profitability and updated projections of future taxable income, management concluded that the deferred tax assets associated with Amazonas are now more likely than not to be realized. Accordingly, the Company released its valuation allowance in full and recorded a discrete income tax benefit of $13 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, valuation allowances totaling $314 million relate to deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions, primarily Germany and France. 79
Page 81
The Company will continue to evaluate the available positive and negative evidence in subsequent periods and adjust its remaining valuation allowances to the amount it determines to be more likely than not to be realized. If operating results improve or deteriorate on a sustained basis, the Company’s conclusions regarding the need for a valuation allowance could change, resulting in either the reversal or initial recognition of a valuation allowance in the future, which could have a significant impact on income tax expense in the period recognized and subsequent periods. The Company has recorded the taxes associated with the foreign earnings it intends to repatriate in the future. The amount the Company expects to repatriate is based upon a variety of factors including current year earnings of the foreign affiliates, foreign investment needs, and the cash flow needs of the Company. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has recorded withholding tax liabilities of $25 million and $27 million, respectively related to these earnings. These earnings are expected to be non-taxable upon repatriation to the U.S., as they will largely be considered previously taxed income under the one-time transition tax or GILTI, or they will be offset by a 100% dividend received deduction. The Company has not provided for deferred tax liabilities for foreign withholding or other taxes on the remainder of undistributed earnings because such earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested. It is not practicable to determine the amount of deferred tax liability on such earnings as the actual tax liability, if any, is dependent on circumstances existing when remittance occurs. The Company is subject to a wide variety of U.S. federal, state, and foreign tax laws, regulations, and governmental policies. Future changes to these tax regimes may materially affect the Company’s tax obligations, investment returns, and overall business operations. On July 4, 2025, the reconciliation legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”) was enacted in the United States. The Act contains significant tax reform measures, including modifications to the international tax framework. Beginning in 2025, the Act introduces an elective deduction for domestic research and development expenditures. Additional provisions become effective in 2026 and subsequent periods, including reduced tax rates applicable to Foreign ‑ Derived Deduction Eligible Income (FDDEI) and Net CFC Tested Income (NCTI), which replaced the former GILTI regime, as well as enhanced foreign tax credit utilization rules associated with NCTI ‑ related income. As a result of these statutory changes, the Company expects reduced utilization of its existing general foreign tax credit carryforwards in favor of future NCTI foreign tax credits. Accordingly, during the third quarter of 2025, the Company recognized tax expense to increase the valuation allowance associated with these foreign tax credit carryforwards, consistent with the tax ‑ law ‑ ordering approach following the change in accounting principle described in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" as discussed above. The Company continues to monitor developments related to the Act and will evaluate the impact of these legislative changes as additional regulatory guidance becomes available. The Company is subject to the OECD Pillar Two global minimum tax rules, which establish a 15% minimum effective tax rate on global income. While it remains uncertain whether the United States will adopt Pillar Two, several jurisdictions in which the Company operates have enacted these rules, and others are progressing toward implementation. As global adoption continues, the Company is assessing the potential effects on its future tax profile, cash tax obligations, and operational structure. As part of this evaluation, the Company is considering the availability of transitional and permanent safe harbors, including the Country ‑ by ‑ Country Reporting safe harbor, and the application of local Qualified Domestic Minimum Top ‑ Up Taxes, such as in Brazil, where foregoing certain tax incentives facilitated a tax ‑ efficient repatriation of earnings from its Brazil affiliate under the 15% minimum tax framework during 2025. On January 5, 2026, the OECD issued additional guidance introducing a “side ‑ by ‑ side arrangement,” which, once adopted, would prevent foreign jurisdictions from imposing top ‑ up tax on U.S. profits of U.S. companies. The Company is monitoring ongoing U.S. and international legislative developments and will assess any impacts as further guidance becomes available. 80

Unrecognized Tax Benefits A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2025 2024 Beginning balance $ 20 $ 25 Tax positions related to current period Additions 2 2 Tax positions related to prior periods Additions 3 — Reductions — (7) Ending balance $ 25 $ 20 Gross unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $25 million and $20 million, respectively. Of these amounts, approximately $18 million and $13 million respectively, represent the amount of unrecognized benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense and related amounts accrued as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $5 million and $3 million, respectively. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years before 2016, or state, local or non-U.S. income tax examinations for periods outside the relevant statutes of limitation, unless those years remain under audit or litigation. U.S. net operating losses carried forward into open tax years remain subject to adjustment. Although it is not possible to predict the timing of the resolution of all ongoing tax audits with accuracy, the Company expects that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease within the next twelve months due to the anticipated settlement of an ongoing bilateral Advance Pricing Agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and the India Tax Authority (“ITA”) which could result in payment to the ITA in the range of $10 to $15 million (including interest) by the end of 2026. Given the number of years, jurisdictions and positions subject to examination, the Company is unable to estimate the full range of other possible adjustments to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits. The long-term portion of uncertain income tax positions (including interest) in the amount of $9 million is included in Other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, while the short-term portion in the amount of $14 million is included in Other current liabilities, and $7 million is reflected as a reduction of deferred tax assets included in Other non-current assets. Outstanding income tax refund claims related primarily to India and Brazil jurisdictions total $4 million as of December 31, 2025, and are included in other non- current assets on the balance sheets. Income Taxes Paid (Net of Refunds) For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid a total of $98 million in income taxes across U.S. federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. Consistent with ASU 2023-09, the Company discloses income taxes paid to each jurisdiction where the amount paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5% of total income taxes paid. All other individual jurisdictions, including the U.S. federal and states, did not exceed the 5% disclosure threshold and are presented in the aggregate. 81

Significant jurisdictions for the period include: Year EndedDecember 31, (In millions) 2025 India $ 31 Tunisia 15 Japan 14 Mexico 11 China 10 Thailand 6 Brazil 4 Other 7 Cash paid for income taxes $ 98 Other Tax Matters In January 2023, the Company received a decision by the Indian Tax Authority (“ITA”) that tax applies to certain IT-related services fees paid to the U.S. which spans several years. Until this matter is resolved, the Company will likely need to remit taxes on the services in question for which payments could be significant in the aggregate. The Company believes the ITA’s decision is without merit, and intends to defend its position vigorously, and expects to recoup any taxes paid. If this matter is adversely resolved, the Company would record additional tax expense, which would include any taxes ultimately paid. NOTE 15. Stockholders’ Equity and Non-controlling Interests Treasury Stock As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the Company held 28,196,199 and 27,860,349 shares of common stock in treasury which may be used for satisfying obligations under employee incentive compensation arrangements. The Company values shares of common stock held in treasury at cost.

Under this program, the Company will repurchase shares at the prevailing market prices pursuant to specified share price and daily volume limits. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company has purchased 555,997 shares at an average price of $101.70 related to this program. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has $74 million of authorized purchases of common stock remaining. Excise taxes incurred due to purchases under the program totaled less than $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. Dividends During 2025, the Board declared two quarterly cash dividends of $0.275 per share, paid on September 5 and December 5 to shareholders of record as of August 18 and November 18, respectively. Cash dividends totaled $15 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. Nodividends were declared or paid in 2024. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.375 per share, payable on March 16, 2026 to shareholders of record as of March 2, 2026. 83

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies NOTE 17. Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Hierarchy The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the observability of the inputs utilized in the valuation. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and lowest priority to unobservable inputs. • Level 1 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access. • Level 2 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. • Level 3 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Assets which are valued at net asset value per share ("NAV"), or its equivalent, as a practical expedient are reported outside the fair value hierarchy but are included in the total assets for reporting and reconciliation purposes. 84
Page 87
The fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows: December 31, 2025 (In millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 NAV Total Asset Category: Retirement plan assets $ 130 $ 73 $ 21 $ 371 $ 595 Interest rate swaps $ — $ 2 $ — $ — $ 2 Liability Category: Cross currency swaps $ — $ 16 $ — $ — $ 16 December 31, 2024 (In millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 NAV Total Asset Category: Retirement plan assets $ 121 $ 56 $ 18 $ 434 $ 629 Interest rate swaps $ — $ 8 — — $ 8 Liability Category: Cross currency swaps $ — $ 1 $ — $ — $ 1 Cross currency swaps and interest rate swaps are valued using industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including time value, volatility factors, current market, and contractual prices for the underlying and non-performance risk. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data, or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. The carrying amounts of all other non-retirement plan financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term maturities. Retirement plan assets pertain to a diverse set of securities and investment vehicles held by the Company’s defined benefit pension plans. These assets possess varying fair value measurement attributes such that certain portions are categorized within each level of the fair value hierarchy as based upon the level of observability of the inputs utilized in the valuation of the particular asset. The Company may, as a practical expedient, estimate the fair value of certain investments using NAV of the investment as of the reporting date. This practical expedient generally deals with investments that permit an investor to redeem its investment directly with, or receive distributions from, the investee at times specified in the investee’s governing documents. Examples of these investments (often referred to as alternative investments) may include ownership interests in real assets, certain credit strategies, and hedging and diversifying strategies. They are commonly in the form of limited partnership interests. The Company uses NAV as a practical expedient when valuing investments in alternative asset classes and funds which are a limited partnership or similar investment vehicle. Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis under an income approach using industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including time value, volatility factors, current market and contractual prices for the underlying, and non-performance risk. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument or may derived from observable data. Accordingly, the Company's derivative instruments are classified as Level 2, "Other Observable Inputs" in the fair value hierarchy. Retirement Plan Assets Retirement plan assets consist of the following: • Cash and cash equivalents, are immediately available or are highly liquid and not subject to significant market risk. Assets comprised of cash, short-term sovereign debt, or high credit-quality money market securities and instruments held directly by the plan are categorized as Level 1. Assets in a short-term investment fund ("STIF") are categorized as Level 2. Cash and cash equivalent assets denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are reflected in U.S. dollar terms at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet dates. • Treasury and government securities consist of debt securities issued by the U.S. and non-U.S. sovereign governments and agencies, thereof. Assets with a high degree of liquidity and frequent trading activity are categorized as Level 1 85
Page 88
while others are valued by independent valuation firms that employ standard methodologies associated with valuing fixed-income securities and are categorized as Level 2. • Corporate debt securities consist of fixed income securities issued by corporations. Assets with a high degree of liquidity and frequent trading activity are categorized as Level 2 while others are valued by independent valuation firms that employ standard methodologies associated with valuing fixed-income securities and are categorized as Level 2. • Bond funds are comprised of corporate and municipal bonds. These securities are generally priced by independent pricing services. The spreads are sourced from broker/dealers, trade prices and the new issue market. As the significant inputs used to price corporate bonds are observable market inputs, the fair values of corporate bonds are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy. • Common and preferred stocks consist of shares of equity securities. These are directly-held assets that are generally publicly traded in regulated markets that provide readily available market prices and are categorized as Level 1. • Common trust funds are comprised of shares or units in commingled funds that are not publicly traded. The underlying assets in these funds, including equities and fixed income securities, are generally publicly traded in regulated markets that provide readily available market prices. The entire balance of an investment in a common trust fund that does not have a readily observable market prices as available on a third-party information source, notwithstanding whether the investment has daily liquidity, is categorized as Level 2; or the fund is considered as an alternative strategy (including hedge and diversifying strategies) for which valuation is established by NAV as a practical expedient. • Liability Driven Investments (“LDI”) utilizes certain funds that invest in instruments and securities, interest-rate swaps and other financial derivative instruments intended to hedge a portion of the changes in pension liabilities associated with changes in the actuarial discount rate as applied to the plan’s liabilities. The valuation methodology of the funds that invest in fixed income derivative instruments, the assets contained in this category utilize standard pricing models associated with fixed income derivative instruments and are categorized as Level 2. • Repurchase agreements represent the plans’ short-term borrowing to hedge against interest rate and inflation risks. The plans have an obligation to return the cash after the term of the agreements. Due to the short-term nature of the agreements, the outstanding balance of the obligation approximates fair value. These borrowings are categorized as Level 2. • Other investment funds include funds that hold various short-term, real-estate related, and fixed income assets and are categorized as Level 1, Level 2, and NAV, consistent with the valuation techniques of investment funds described above. • Limited partnerships and hedge funds represent investment vehicles with underlying exposures in alternative credit, hedge and diversifying strategies (including hedge fund of funds), real assets, and certain equity exposures. The underlying assets in these funds may include securities transacted in active markets as well as other assets that have values less readily observable and may require valuation techniques that require inputs that are not readily observable. Investment in these funds may be subject to a specific notice period prior to the intended transaction date. In addition, transactions in these funds may require longer settlement terms than traditional mutual funds. These assets are valued based on their respective NAV as a practical expedient to estimate fair value due to the absence of readily available market prices. • Insurance contracts are reported at cash surrender value and have significant unobservable inputs and are categorized as Level 3. 86

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis, which are not included in the table above. As these non-recurring fair value measurements are generally determined using unobservable inputs, these fair value measurements are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the value of these long-lived asset groups are not recoverable. No impairment charges were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Fair Value of Debt The fair value of debt was $304 million and $319 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Fair value estimates were based on quoted market prices or current rates for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. Accordingly, the Company's debt is classified as Level 1 "Market Prices" and Level 2 "Other Observable Inputs" in the fair value hierarchy. NOTE 18. Financial Instruments The Company is exposed to various market risks including, but not limited to, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and market interest rates. The Company manages these risks, in part, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The use of derivative financial instruments creates exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the derivative financial instruments. The Company limits this exposure by entering into agreements including master netting arrangements directly with a variety of major highly rated financial institutions that are expected to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. Additionally, the Company’s ability to utilize derivatives to manage risks is dependent on credit and market conditions. The Company presents its derivative positions and any related material collateral under master netting arrangements that provide for the net settlement of contracts, by counterparty, in the event of default or termination. There is no cash collateral on any of these derivatives. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk The maximum length of time over which the Company hedges forecasted transactions related to variable interest payments is the term of the underlying debt. Cross Currency Swaps: The Company has executed cross-currency swap transactions intended to mitigate the variability of the U.S. dollar value of its investment in certain of its non-U.S. entities. These swaps are designated as net investment hedges and the Company has elected to assess hedge effectiveness under the spot method. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the swaps are recorded as a cumulative translation adjustment in AOCI in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024 the Company had cross-currency swaps with aggregate notional amounts of $200 million intended to mitigate the variability of U.S. dollar value investment in certain of its non-U.S. entities. These swaps are designated as net investment hedges. There was no ineffectiveness associated with such derivatives as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The fair value of these derivatives is a non-current liability of $16 million and $1 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, a gain of approximately $3 million is expected to be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings within the next 12 months. Interest Rate Swaps: The Company utilizes interest rate swap instruments to manage its exposure and to mitigate the impact of interest rate variability. The swaps are designated as cash flow hedges, accordingly, the effective portion of the changes in fair value is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. Subsequently, the accumulated gains and losses recorded in equity are reclassified to income in the period during which the hedged exposure impacts earnings. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024 the Company had interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts of $250 million. The fair value of these derivatives is a non-current asset of $2 million and $8 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, a loss of approximately $3 million is expected to be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings within the next 12 months. 88

Commitments and Contingencies Litigation and Claims In 2003, the Local Development Finance Authority of the Charter Township of Van Buren, Michigan issued approximately $28 million in bonds finally maturing in 2032, the proceeds of which were used at least in part to assist in the development of the Company’s U.S. headquarters located in the Township. During January 2010, the Company and the Township entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) that, among other things, reduced the taxable value of the headquarters property to current market value and also provided that the Company would negotiate in good faith with the Township if the property tax payments were inadequate to permit the Township to meet its payment obligations with respect to the bonds. On December 9, 2019, the Township commenced litigation against the Company in Michigan’s Wayne County Circuit Court. On June 27, 2023, Visteon and the Township entered into a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement pursuant to which Visteon, without admitting wrongdoing, will pay the Township $12 million. Payment was made in two equal installments, the first on July 3, 2023 and the second on July 1, 2024. The litigation commenced in Michigan’s Wayne County Circuit Court and has been dismissed with prejudice. The Company's operations in Brazil are subject to highly complex labor, tax, customs and other laws. While the Company believes that it is in compliance with such laws, it is periodically engaged in litigation regarding the application of these laws. As of December 31, 2025, the Company maintained accruals of approximately $6 million for claims aggregating approximately $45 million in Brazil. The amounts accrued represent claims that are deemed probable of loss and are reasonably estimable based on the Company's assessment of the claims and prior experience with similar matters. While the Company believes its accruals for litigation and claims are adequate, the final amounts required to resolve such matters could differ materially from recorded estimates and the Company's results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected. 89
Page 92
Product Warranty and Recall Amounts accrued for product warranty and recall provisions are based on management’s best estimates of the amounts that will ultimately be required to settle such items. The Company’s estimates for product warranty and recall obligations are developed with support from its sales, engineering, quality, and legal functions and include due consideration of contractual arrangements, past experience, current claims and related information, production changes, industry and regulatory developments, and various other considerations. These estimates do not include amounts which may ultimately be recovered from the Company's suppliers. The Company can provide no assurances that it will not experience material obligations in the future or that it will not incur significant costs to defend or settle such obligations beyond the amounts accrued or beyond what the Company may recover from its suppliers. The following table provides a reconciliation of changes in the product warranty and recall liability: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2025 2024 2023 Beginning balance $ 80 $ 71 $ 51 Provisions 47 33 32 Change in estimates 6 2 4 Currency/other 4 (4) 1 Settlements (30) (22) (17) Ending balance $ 107 $ 80 $ 71 Other Contingent Matters Various legal actions, governmental investigations and proceedings and claims are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against the Company, including those arising out of alleged defects in the Company’s products; customs classifications; governmental regulations relating to safety; employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other contractual relationships; intellectual property rights; product warranties; product recalls; tax matters, including the ITA tax matter described in Note 14, "Income Taxes"; and environmental matters. Some of the foregoing matters may involve compensatory, punitive or antitrust, or other treble damage claims in very large amounts, or demands for recall campaigns, environmental remediation programs, sanctions, or other relief which, if granted, would require very large expenditures. The Company enters into agreements that contain indemnification provisions in the normal course of business for which the risks are considered nominal and impracticable to estimate. Contingencies are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. Reserves have been established by the Company for matters discussed in the immediately foregoing paragraph where losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. It is possible, however, that some of the matters discussed in the foregoing paragraph could be decided unfavorably to the Company and could require the Company to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts, or a range of amounts, that cannot be estimated as of December 31, 2025 and that are in excess of established reserves. Based on its analysis, the Company does not reasonably expect, except as otherwise described herein, that any adverse outcome from such matters would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, although such an outcome is possible. NOTE 20. Segment Information and Revenue Recognition The Company manages the business activities on a consolidated basis and operates in one reportable segment. The Company’s reportable segment is Electronics. The Electronics segment provides vehicle cockpit electronics products to customers, including digital instrument clusters, information displays, infotainment, cockpit domain controllers, CognitoAI , battery management systems, high voltage power electronics, and engineering services. As the Company has one reportable segment, net sales, total assets, depreciation, amortization and capital expenditures are equal to consolidated results. Financial results for the Company's reportable segment have been prepared using a management approach, which is consistent with the basis and manner in which financial information is evaluated by the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") in allocating resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. The measurement of segment profit or loss that the CODM uses to evaluates the performance of the Company’s segment is net income attributable to Visteon Corporation. Financial forecasts and budget to actual results used by the CODM to assess performance and allocate resources, as well as those used for strategic decisions related to headcount and capital expenditures TM 90
Page 93
are reviewed on a consolidated basis. The CODM considers the impact of the significant segment expenses in the table below on net income when deciding whether to reinvest profits, propose dividends or share repurchase, or pursue strategic mergers and acquisitions. A summary of segment revenue, segment net income (loss) attributable to Visteon Corporation, and significant segment expense for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2025 2024 2023 Net sales 3,768 3,866 3,954 Significant expenses: Other cost of sales 2,899 3,039 3,153 Other selling, general and administrative 165 175 173 Gross engineering costs 364 334 330 Engineering recoveries (144) (143) (120) Depreciation and amortization 109 96 104 Non-cash stock-based compensation 45 41 34 Restructuring, net 8 32 5 Interest expense 13 15 17 Interest income (22) (17) (10) Equity in net (income) loss of non-consolidated affiliates (8) 3 10 Other (income) loss, net 1 (7) 1 Provision for (benefit from) income taxes 125 (8) (330) Net income (loss) 213 306 587 Less: Net (income) loss attributable to non-controlling interests (12) (10) (19) Net income (loss) attributable to Visteon Corporation $ 201 $ 296 $ 568 Other cost of sales excludes depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation, and engineering recoveries which are presented individually above.

See Note 19, "Commitments and Contingencies” for more information. NOTE 22. Selected Quarterly Financial Data (unaudited) Effective December 31, 2025, the Company changed its accounting method for assessing the realizability of U.S. deferred tax assets from the incremental cash tax savings methodology to the tax-law-ordering methodology. The change in methodology, effective December 31, 2025, has been determined to be a change in accounting principle and the effects of the change have been applied and disclosed retrospectively. See Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”. Accordingly, the financial statements for all quarters during the year ended December 31, 2024, and the first, second, and third quarters of 2025 have been retrospectively adjusted from what was previously reported in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The following tables summarize the effects of the change in accounting method for select quarterly financial data. 93

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure None. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures Disclosure Controls and Procedures The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in periodic reports filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. At December 31, 2025, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive and Financial Officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2025. Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive and financial officers of the Company, an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting was conducted based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“the COSO 2013 Framework”) of the Treadway Commission. Based on the evaluation performed under the COSO 2013 Framework as of December 31, 2025, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective. Additionally, Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, as stated in their report which is included herein. In accordance with guidance issued by the SEC, companies are permitted to exclude acquisitions from their final assessment of internal control over financial reporting for the first fiscal year in which the acquisition occurred. Management's evaluation of internal control over financial reporting excluded the internal control activities of the UX Acquisition, which we acquired on May 31, 2025. This acquisition constitutes less than 4% of total assets and less than 1% of total revenues of the Company’s consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. This acquisition is discussed in Note 2, "Business Acquisitions" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. The Company will include the Acquisition in the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting by year end 2026. Item 9B. Other Information The Company's directors and officers (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 16a-1(f)) may from time to time enter into plans or other arrangements for the purchase or sale of the Company's shares that are intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5- 1(c) or may represent a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement under the Exchange Act. During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, no such plans or other arrangements were adopted or terminated. Item 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections Not applicable. 99

VISTEON CORPORATION 2020 INCENTIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT GRANT AGREEMENT Visteon Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), subject to the terms of the Visteon Corporation 2020 Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”) and this performance stock unit agreement (this “Agreement”), hereby grants to Participant Name, Global ID Employee ID, (the “Participant”), performance stock units in the form of performance-based restricted stock units (“Performance Stock Units”) pursuant to Section 6 of the Plan, as further described herein. For purposes of this Agreement, “Employer” means the entity (the Company or a Subsidiary) that employs the Participant. All capitalized words not defined in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan. 1. Grant of Performance Stock Units, Target Award. (a) The Company hereby grants to the Participant Number of Awards Granted Performance Stock Units with a grant value of Grant Custom 1 per unit, effective as of Grant Date (the “Grant Date”) under Section 6 of the Plan, and subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement. The Performance Stock Units represent a target number of shares of the Company’s common stock (“Stock”) to be paid (the “Target Award”) (i) as to fifty percent (50%) of the Performance Stock Units if the Company’s “Total Shareholder Return”(as defined below, “TSR”) results during the “Performance Period” (as defined below) relative to returns of similar companies is at the 55 percentile and (ii) as to fifty percent (50%) of the Performance Stock Units if the Company’s three year average Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) performance meeting the Target ROIC, as further described below. The actual number of shares of Stock to be transferred to the Participant, if any (the “Final Award”), may be earned up to 200% of the Target Award opportunity, or as low as zero, based on the Company’s TSR performance percentile within the "TSR Peer Group" (as defined below) and three-year average Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) performance; and upon satisfaction of the conditions to vesting set forth below in this Agreement. In the event of certain corporate transactions, the number of Performance Stock Units covered by this Agreement may be adjusted by the Committee as further described in Section 3 of the Plan. Electronic acceptance of this Agreement through the third party designee must be made within 90 days of the Grant Date (by Accept By Date); otherwise the award in its entirety will be forfeited. (b) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Performance Period” means March 1, 2025 through February 29, 2028. (c) For purposes of this Agreement, “Total Shareholder Return” (or “TSR”) is calculated by dividing the “Closing Average Share Value” (as defined below) by the “Opening Average Share Value” (as defined below). (i) The term “Closing Average Share Value” means the average value of the common stock for the trading days during the 20 trading days ending on the last trading day of the Performance Period, which shall be calculated as follows: (A) determine the closing price of the common stock on each trading date during the 20-day period, (B) multiply each closing price as of that trading date by the applicable share number described below, and (C) average the amounts so determined for the 20-day period. The Closing Average Share Value shall take into account any dividends on the common stock for which the ex-dividend date occurred during the Performance Period, as if the dividend amount had been reinvested in common stock at the closing price on the ex-dividend date. The share number in clause (B) above, for a given trading th Rev. 01/2025
Page 112
day, is the sum of one share plus the cumulative number of shares deemed purchased with such dividends. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Closing Average Share Value is calculated as of a Change in Control, then the Closing Average Share Value shall be based on the 20-day period ending immediately prior to the Change in Control. (ii) The term “Opening Average Share Value” means the average value of the common stock for the trading days during the 20 trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the beginning of the Performance Period, which shall be calculated as follows: (A) determine the closing price of the common stock on each trading date during the 20-day period, (B) multiply each closing price as of that trading date by the applicable share number described below, and (C) average the amounts so determined for the 20-day period. The Opening Average Share Value shall take into account any dividends on the common stock for which the ex-dividend date occurred during the 20-day period, as if the dividend amount had been reinvested in common stock at the closing price on the ex-dividend date. The share number in clause (B) above, for a given trading day, is the sum of one share plus the cumulative number of shares deemed purchased with such dividends. (d) For purposes of this Agreement, the “TSR Peer Group” includes the following 17 companies (and Visteon Corporation): Adient PLC Cooper-Standard Holdings LCI Industries American Axle &Mfg Holdings Dana Incorporated Lear Corporation Aptiv PLC Denso Corporation Magna International Inc. Autoliv, Inc. Forvia Modine Manufacturing Company BorgWarner Inc. Gentex Corporation Valeo SE Continental Gentherm Incorporated (e) TSR Peer Group Adjustments. (i) If a TSR Peer Group company becomes bankrupt, the bankrupt company will remain in the TSR Peer Group positioned at one level below the lowest performing non-bankrupt TSR Peer Group company. In the case of multiple bankruptcies, the bankrupt companies will be positioned below the non-bankrupt companies in reverse chronological order by bankruptcy date. (ii) If a TSR Peer Group company is acquired by another company, the acquired TSR Peer Group company will be removed from the TSR Peer Group. (iii) If a TSR Peer Group company sells, spins-off, or disposes of a portion of its business, the selling TSR Peer Group company will remain in the TSR Peer Group for the Performance Period unless such disposition(s) results in the disposition of more than 50% of the company’s total assets during the Performance Period in which case it will be removed. (iv) If a TSR Peer Group company acquires another company, the acquiring TSR Peer Group company will remain in the TSR Peer Group for the Performance Period. (v) If a TSR Peer Group company is delisted on all major stock exchanges, such delisted TSR Peer Group company will be removed from the TSR Peer Group. 2
Page 113
(vi) If the Company’s and/or any TSR Peer Group company’s stock splits, such company’s performance will be adjusted for the stock split so as not to give an advantage or disadvantage to such company by comparison to the other companies. (f) For purposes of this Agreement, ROIC is calculated by dividing the Company’s net operating profit (“NOPAT”) (as defined below) by Invested Capital (as defined below), expressed as a percentage. ROIC = Net Operating Profit (NOPAT) ÷ Invested Capital (i) The term “Net Operating Profit” means the Company’s “Adjusted EBITDA” minus depreciation and amortization multiplied by (1- Effective Tax Rate (“ETR”)), with ETR potentially normalized for change in valuation allowance. (ii) The term “Invested capital” means the average amount of shareholders equity and long- term debt from the Company's balance sheet minus cash. For these purposes, equity excludes changes in unfunded pension balance and valuation allowance. (iii) The term “Adjusted EBITDA” means the Company’s EBITDA adjusted to eliminate the impact of depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, provision for income taxes, net interest expenses, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, restructuring and impairment expenses, equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates, and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations. The target ROIC under this Award (the “Target ROIC”) will be established by the Company and disclosed to the Participant prior to or shortly after the beginning of the Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained in this Award to the contrary, the Committee has the exclusive authority to determine ROIC under this Award and retains the right to make any adjustments to the definition of ROIC that is deems appropriate and/or necessary. 2. TSR and ROIC Achievement, Percentage Earned, Vesting, Effect of Change in Control. (a) The Participant’s rights to fifty percent (50%) of the Target Award will be based on the Participant’s continued employment and the extent to which TSR is achieved for the Performance Period (the “TSR Target Award”). Awards can be “Earned” (meaning available for potential vesting) up to 200% of the TSR Target Award opportunity based on the Company’s TSR performance percentile within the TSR Peer Group as follows (award payouts for performance between the percentiles specified below is determined based on straight-line interpolation): (i) 0% of the TSR Target Award if at less than 25 percentile, (ii) 50% of the TSR Target Award if at the 25 percentile, (iii) 100% of the TSR Target Award if at the 55 percentile, (iv) 200% of the TSR Target Award if at the 75 percentile or higher. th th th th 3
Page 114
However, if the Company’s TSR is negative for the Performance Period, the Target Award Earned will be capped at 100% unless relative TSR is at or above the 75th percentile of the peer group at which time the cap would become 150%. (b) The Participant’s rights to fifty percent (50%) of the Target Award will be based on the Participant’s continued employment and extent to which ROIC is achieved for the Performance Period (the “ROIC Target Award”). The actual ROIC performance shall be calculated at the conclusion of each fiscal year, and at the end of the third fiscal year, the average three- year ROIC shall be determined. Awards can be “Earned” (meaning available for potential vesting) up to 200% of the ROIC Target Award opportunity based on the Company’s three- year average ROIC performance as follows (award payouts for performance between the percentage specified below is determined based on straight-line interpolation): (i) 0% of the ROIC Target Award if at less than 80% of Target ROIC, (ii) 50% of the ROIC Target Award if at 80% of Target ROIC, (iii) 100% of the ROIC Target Award if at Target ROIC, (iv) 200% of the ROIC Target Award if at 120% or higher of Target ROIC. (c) If the Participant remains in the employ of the Employer through February 29, 2028 the percentage of the Target Award Earned for the Performance Period will vest on that date. (d) If a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) occurs before February 29, 2028, (x) the Performance Period will be deemed to have been terminated immediately before the Change in Control, and (y) the Performance Stock Units Earned as of the date of the Change in Control will be converted into time vesting Restricted Stock Units that will vest on February 29, 2028 if the Participant remains in the employ of the Company through that date (the “Converted Restricted Stock Units”) and, in addition, the following rules will apply: (i) Unless forfeited earlier pursuant to Paragraph 3, if the Converted Restricted Stock Units are not assumed, converted or replaced by the acquirer or other continuing entity, the Converted Restricted Stock Units will become fully vested immediately before the Change in Control (and any remainder of the Target Award will be forfeited). (ii) If (A) the Converted Restricted Stock Units are assumed, converted or replaced by the acquirer or other continuing entity and (B) the Participant’s employment is terminated within 24 months following the Change in Control by the Employer without Cause (other than by reason of death or disability) or as otherwise set forth in any change in control agreement, the Converted Restricted Stock Units will become fully vested immediately upon the termination of the Participant’s employment (and any remainder of the Target Award will be forfeited). (iii) If (A) the Converted Restricted Stock Units are assumed, converted or replaced by the acquirer or other continuing entity and (B) the Participant’s employment continues beyond the date that is 24 months after the Change in Control, the Converted Restricted Stock Units will vest, if at all, in accordance with Paragraph 2(b), subject to Paragraph 3. 4
Page 115
3. Termination of Employment. (a) Except as set forth in Paragraph 2(c)(ii) or in the remaining provisions of this Paragraph 3 or as otherwise determined by the Committee, the Participant’s rights to receive any portion of the Target Award will be cancelled immediately and without notice to the Participant, and no Final Award will be made, if the Participant terminates employment with the Employer before February 29, 2028. A transfer or assignment of employment to a company that is owned at least 50% directly or indirectly by the Company shall not be deemed a termination of employment solely for purposes of Performance Stock Units covered by this Agreement. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 3(a), if the Participant is placed on an approved leave of absence, with or without pay, the Participant will continue to be eligible to receive the Final Award as if the Participant was actively employed during any period of the leave. (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 3(a), if the Participant’s employment with the Employer is terminated by reason of disability (for U.S. employees, as defined in the Company’s long-term disability plan and for employees outside of the U.S. as determined by the Employer’s long-term disability policy or by the Committee or its delegate in its sole discretion), death, “retirement” (as defined below) or involuntary termination by the Employer without “Cause” (as defined below), and either (x) the Participant had remained in the employ of the Employer for at least 180 days following the Grant Date before the termination of the Participant’s employment with the Employer, or (y) the Change in Control has occurred before the termination of employment, the Participant will be entitled to a “Pro Rata Part” of the “Full Period Award” (as those terms are defined below) for those units that do not vest upon that termination pursuant to Paragraph 2(c)(ii). For these purposes: (i) the “Full Period Award” means that percentage of the Target Award for the Performance Period that would have been Earned as of February 29, 2028 and vested as of February 29, 2028 if the Participant had remained in the employ of the Company through February 29, 2028; and (ii) “Pro Rata Part” means a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days between the Grant Date and the date of the termination of the Participant’s employment and the denominator of which is the number of days from the Grant Date to February 29, 2028. (d) For purposes of this Agreement, “retirement” shall mean the Participant’s voluntary termination of employment after attaining age 60 and completion of 5 years of continuous service. (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant’s termination is considered “retirement” (as defined above) and the Participant: 1) is an employee at level 19 (Senior Vice President), 2) does not receive a severance payment, and 3) has a transition plan approved by the Company’s CEO, then the Participant shall be entitled to receive the Final Award as if the Participant remained actively employed after the Participant’s termination of employment. (f) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean (i) the willful and continued failure by the Participant to substantially perform the Participant’s duties with the Employer (other than any such failure resulting from the Participant’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Participant by (A) if the Participant is an executive officer of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company, or (B) if the Participant is not an executive officer of the Company, the head of the Company’s global human resources department, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Employer believes that the Participant has 5
Page 116
not substantially performed the Participant’s duties, or (ii) the willful engaging by the Participant in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise. For purposes of clauses (i) and (ii) of this definition, no act, or failure to act, on the Participant’s part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Participant not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the Participant’s act, or failure to act, was in the best interest of the Company. (g) For purposes of the Performance Stock Units, the Participant’s employment is considered terminated as of the earlier of (a) the date the Participant’s employment with the Employer is terminated; (b) subject to Paragraph 3(b), the date on which the Participant ceases to provide active service to the Employer; or (c) the date on which the Participant receives a notice of termination of employment (in all cases, regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or rendering services or the terms of the Participant’s employment or service contract, if any). The Participant’s rights to participate in the Plan will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., service would not include any contractual notice or any period of “garden leave” or period of pay in lieu of such notice required under any employment law in the country where the Participant works or resides (including, but not limited to, statutory law, regulatory law and/or common law)). The Committee or its delegate shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the Performance Stock Units. 4. Payment of Final Award. (a) The Committee will determine the amount of the Final Award with respect to the Performance Period, and the Participant will receive shares of Stock in settlement of the Final Award, (i) on a date to be selected by the Company between February 29 and May 15, 2028 (if the Final Award vests on February 29, 2028) or (ii) in any other case in which the Participant terminates employment and is entitled to accelerated vesting under Paragraph 2(c), within ten days thereafter, except to the extent that Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) requires that payment be postponed six months and one day after the date of the Participant’s “separation from service” (the “Settlement Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion and to the extent permitted under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(B), terminate this Agreement and pay the Participant’s Final Award on a Settlement Date upon the occurrence of, or within 30 days before, upon or within twelve months after any Change in Control that constitutes a “change in the ownership,” a “change in the effective control” or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. (b) The number of shares of Stock delivered to the Participant will equal the number of shares included in the Final Award, less applicable withholding and brokerage fees associated with the sale of any shares of Stock to pay applicable withholding. Any shares of Stock will be issued in book-entry form, registered in the Participant’s name or in the name of the Participant’s legal representatives, beneficiaries or heirs, as the case may be. The Company will not deliver any fractional share of Stock and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional share shall be given in lieu of fractional shares or whether some other more administratively feasible mechanism will be utilized. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain jurisdictions as stated in the Addendum to this grant agreement, the Committee may direct that in lieu of settlement through delivery of shares of Stock, the Participant’s Final Award will be settled by a single lump sum cash payment equal to the number of shares of Stock that would otherwise be issued in settlement of the Final Award multiplied by the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock, less applicable withholding taxes. All Performance Stock Units that have become vested and are settled will be cancelled. 6
Page 117
(c) The Company may retain the services of a third-party administrator to perform administrative services in connection with the Plan. To the extent the Company has retained such an administrator, any reference to the Company will be deemed to refer to any such third-party administrator retained by the Company, and the Company may require the Participant to exercise the Participant’s rights under this Agreement only through such third-party administrator. 5. Dividend Equivalents. On each record date during the Grant Date through the Settlement Date, the Participant shall receive, with respect to each Performance Stock Unit, an additional number of Performance Stock Units equal to the number that such Participant would have received if the Participant had been the holder of record of one share of Stock and had reinvested any cash dividend paid on such share of Stock into Performance Stock Units (at the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the later of (i) the date the dividend is paid and (ii) the ex-dividend date) subject to the same terms and conditions as the Performance Stock Units granted herein. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall dividend equivalents with respect to a Performance Stock Unit be paid to the Participant unless and until the underlying Performance Stock Unit vests, and if such Units are forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to such dividend equivalents. 6. Responsibility for Taxes; Withholding. (a) Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes and/or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Participant, or deemed applicable to the Participant, even if technically due by the Company or a Subsidiary, is and remains the Participant’s sole responsibility. Furthermore, the Company and the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Performance Stock Units, including the grant of the Performance Stock Units, the vesting of the Performance Stock Units, the subsequent sale of any shares of Stock acquired pursuant to this Agreement and the receipt of any dividend equivalents or dividends; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Performance Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items. Further, if the Participant becomes subject to taxation in more than one country between the date the Performance Stock Units are granted and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one country. (b) The Company and/or the Employer may satisfy its obligation to withhold Tax-Related Items associated with the Performance Stock Units by withholding a number of Performance Stock Units or shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Committee, approximately equal to the amount required to be withheld, provided that the withholding rates the Company applies do not exceed the maximum statutory tax rates in the Participant’s applicable jurisdiction(s). The Participant shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock subject to the Performance Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Performance Stock Units. The Participant will have no further rights with respect to any shares of Stock that are withheld by the Company pursuant to this provision. The Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of any fractional Performance Stock Unit remaining after the withholding requirements are satisfied equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional share or whether some other more administratively feasible mechanism will be utilized. The Participant also authorizes the 7
Page 118
Company and/or the Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company or Employer or from proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock. Finally, the Participant shall pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or Employer may be required to withhold as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. (c) Dividend equivalents paid on Performance Stock Units are subject to applicable withholding of Tax-Related Items as described in Paragraph 6(b). (d) This Performance Stock Unit is intended to be excepted from coverage under, or compliant with, the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, and the regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder (“409A”). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, if the Performance Stock Unit is subject to the provisions of 409A (and not exempted therefrom), the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan shall be administered, interpreted and construed in a manner necessary to comply with 409A (or disregarded to the extent such provision cannot be so administered, interpreted or construed). If any payment or benefits hereunder may be deemed to constitute nonconforming deferred compensation subject to taxation under the provisions of 409A, the Participant agrees that the Company may, without the consent of the Participant, modify this Agreement to the extent and in the manner the Company deems necessary or advisable in order either to preclude any such payment or benefit from being deemed “deferred compensation” within the meaning of 409A or to provide such payments or benefits in a manner that complies with the provisions of 409A such that they will not be subject to the imposition of taxes and/or interest thereunder. If, at the time of the Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of 409A), (i) the Participant shall be a specified employee (within the meaning of 409A and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) and (ii) the Company shall make a good faith determination that an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of 409A) the settlement of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under 409A, then the Company shall not settle such amount on the otherwise scheduled settlement date, but shall instead settle it, without interest, on the first business day of the month after such six-month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representation and/or warranties with respect to compliance with 409A, and the Participants recognizes and acknowledges that 409A could potentially impose upon the Participant certain taxes and/or interest charges for which the Participant is and shall remain solely responsible. 1. Conditions on Award. (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Committee may cancel an award of Performance Stock Units, and may refuse to settle the Final Award, if before a Change in Control and during the period from the date of the Participant's termination of employment from the Employer to the date of settlement of the Final Award, the Committee determines that the Participant has either (i) refused to be available, upon request, at reasonable times and upon a reasonable basis, to consult with, supply information to and otherwise cooperate with the Company or its Subsidiaries with respect to any matter that was handled by the Participant or under the Participant's supervision while the Participant was in the employ of the Employer or (ii) engaged in any activity in violation of any non-competition and/or non-solicitation covenants. (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Performance Stock Unit granted hereunder will be subject to mandatory repayment by the Participant to the Company to the extent the Participant is, or in the future becomes, subject to (i) any Company claw-back or recoupment policy that is adopted to comply with the requirements of any applicable laws, rules or regulations, or otherwise, or 8
Page 119
(ii) any applicable laws which impose mandatory recoupment, under circumstances set forth in such applicable laws, including as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or other applicable law, regulation or stock exchange listing requirement, as may be in effect from time to time, and which may operate to create additional rights for the Company with respect to the Performance Stock Unit and recovery of amounts relating thereto. By accepting this Performance Stock Unit, the Participant agrees and acknowledges that the Participant is obligated to cooperate with, and provide any and all assistance necessary to, the Company to recover or recoup this Performance Stock Unit or amounts paid under this Performance Stock Unit subject to claw-back pursuant to such law, government regulation, stock exchange listing requirement or Company policy. Such cooperation and assistance shall include, but is not limited to, executing, completing and submitting any documentation necessary to recover or recoup this Performance Stock Unit or amounts paid hereunder from the Participant’s accounts, or pending or future compensation awards that may be made to the Participant. 2. Non-transferability. The Participant has no right to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or otherwise alienate the Performance Stock Units, and any attempted sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other conveyance will be null and void. 3. Securities Law Restrictions. (a) If the Participant is resident outside of the United States, the grant of Performance Stock Units is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Participant’s country. The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law), and this grant of Performance Stock Units is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities. (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may delay transferring shares of Stock to the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary in settlement of the Final Award or may impose restrictions or conditions on the Participant’s (or any beneficiary’s) ability to directly or indirectly sell, hypothecate, pledge, loan, or otherwise encumber, transfer or dispose of the shares of Stock, if the Committee determines that such action is necessary or desirable for compliance with any applicable state, federal or non-U.S. law, the requirements of any stock exchange on which the Stock is then traded, or is requested by the Company or the underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933. 4. Limited Interest. (a) The grant of the Performance Stock Units will not be construed as giving the Participant any interest other than as provided in this Agreement. The Participant’s Performance Stock Units constitutes an unsecured promise by the Company to pay the Participant one share of Stock on the settlement of vested and earned Performance Stock Units. As the holder of Performance Stock Units, the Participant has only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. The Company will credit the Performance Stock Units to a book-keeping account in the name of the Participant, but no assets of the Company will be held or set aside as security for the obligations of the Company hereunder. The Participant will have no voting rights or any other rights as a shareholder as a result of the grant or vesting 9
Page 120
of the Performance Stock Units unless and until shares of Stock are issued in settlement of the Final Award. (b) The grant of the Performance Stock Units will not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any merger, consolidation or business combination of the Company, or any issuance or modification of any term, condition, or covenant of any bond, debenture, debt, preferred stock or other instrument ahead of or affecting the stock or the rights of the holders thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business or any other Company act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise. 11. Nature of Grant. In accepting the Performance Stock Units, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that: (a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; (b) the grant of Performance Stock Units is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Performance Stock Units, benefits in lieu of Performance Stock Units, or other benefits in the future, even if Performance Stock Units have been granted repeatedly in the past; (c) all decisions with respect to future grants of Performance Stock Units, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be made by the Company, in its sole discretion; (d) nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligation between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and the Participant; (e) the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan; (f) the grant of the Performance Stock Units will not confer on the Participant any right to continue as an employee or continue in service of the Employer, nor interfere in any way with the right of the Employer to terminate the Participant's employment at any time; (g) the grant of Performance Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment or service contract or relationship with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (h) the Performance Stock Units are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or any Subsidiary, and are outside the scope of the Participant’s employment contract, if any; (i) the Performance Stock Units are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; (j) the Performance Stock Units are not part of the Participant’s normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of- services payments, holiday pay, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits, or similar payments and in no event should they 10
Page 121
be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to past services for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; (k) the future value of the shares of Stock underlying the Performance Stock Units is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; (l) in consideration of the Performance Stock Unit, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from the Performance Stock Unit resulting from termination of the Participant’s employment (for any reason whatsoever) and the Participant irrevocably releases the Company and any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates from any such claim that may arise; if such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then by signing or electronically accepting this Agreement, the Participant shall be deemed to have waived the Participant’s entitlement to pursue such claim; (m) unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Performance Stock Units and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Performance Stock Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of Stock; (n) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Performance Stock Units and the shares of Stock subject to the Performance Stock Units, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Participant may provide as a director of a Subsidiary; and (o) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be liable for any change in the value of the Performance Stock Units, the amount realized upon settlement of the Final Award or the amount realized upon a subsequent sale of any shares of Stock acquired upon settlement of the Final Award, resulting from any fluctuation of the United States Dollar/local currency foreign exchange rate. 12. Data Privacy. The Company and the Employer hold and control certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance, passport or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, tax jurisdiction, job title, any shares of Stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all options, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Stock Units or any other entitlement to shares of Stock or units awarded, canceled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant's favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). The Company and/or its Subsidiaries will transfer Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Participant’s participation in the Plan, and the Company and its Subsidiaries may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. These recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, or elsewhere throughout the world, such as the United States. The Company will protect the Data by insuring that any such recipients have entered into an agreement to hold or process such Data in compliance with the E.U. Model Clauses or similar legislation of the country where the Participant resides, and will receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, solely for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s 11
Page 122
participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding of shares of Stock on the Participant’s behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the Participant may elect to deposit any shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan. The Participant understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. Further, the Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or later seeks to revoke the Participant’s consent, the Participant’s employment status with the Employer will not be affected. The only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Performance Stock Units or other equity awards to the Participant or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he or she may contact the Participant’s local human resources representative. The Participant may, at any time, exercise the Participant’s rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include the right to (a) obtain confirmation as to the existence of Data, (b) verify the content, origin and accuracy of Data, (c) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion, or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of Data, (d) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data that is not necessary or required for the implementation, administration and/or operation of the Plan and the Participant’s participation in the Plan, and (e) withdraw the Participant’s consent to the collection, processing or transfer of Data as provided hereunder (in which case the Performance Stock Units will be null and void). The Participant may seek to exercise these rights by contacting the Participant’s local human resources representative. Finally, upon request of the Company or the Employer, the Participant agrees to provide an executed data privacy consent form to the Company and/or the Employer (or any other agreements or consents that may be required by the Company and/or the Employer) that the Company and/or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain from the Participant for the purpose of administering the Participant’s participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Participant’s country, either now or in the future. The Participant understands and agrees that he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan if the Participant fails to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Employer. 13. Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws. By participating in the Plan, the Participant agrees to comply with the Company’s policy on insider trading (to the extent that it is applicable to the Participant). The Participant further acknowledges that, depending on the Participant’s or the broker’s country of residence or where the shares of Stock are listed, the Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws that may affect the Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Stock, rights to shares of Stock (e.g., Performance Stock Units) or rights linked to the value of shares of Stock, during such times the Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company as defined by the laws or regulations in the Participant’s country. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant places before he or she possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. The Participant understands that third parties include fellow 12
Page 123
employees. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and that the Participant should therefore consult his or her personal advisor on this matter. 14. Foreign Asset/Account Reporting and Exchange Control Requirements. The Participant acknowledges that the Participant’s country may have certain foreign asset and/or foreign account reporting requirements and exchange controls which may affect the Participant’s ability to acquire or hold shares of Stock acquired under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends paid on shares of Stock or sales proceeds from the sale of shares of Stock) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Participant’s country. The Participant may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in the Participant’s country. The Participant also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan to the Participant’s country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s responsibility to be compliant with such regulations, and the Participant should consult his or her personal legal advisor for any details. 15. Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Performance Stock Units and on any shares of Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company or any of its Subsidiaries determine it necessary or advisable to comply with local laws, rules and/or regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the Performance Stock Units and the Plan, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. The Participant agrees to take any and all actions, and consents to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Participant’s country. In addition, the Participant agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Participant’s personal obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in the Participant’s country. 16. Addendum. This grant of Performance Stock Units shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any Addendum to this Agreement for the Participant’s country of residence or employment, if different. Moreover, if the Participant relocates to one of the countries included in the Addendum, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons (or the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Participant’s relocation). The Addendum constitutes part of this Agreement. 17. Electronic Delivery of Award Agreement. The Company, in its sole discretion, may decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company. 13
Page 124
18. Language. The Participant acknowledges that he or she is proficient in the English language, or has consulted with an advisor who is proficient in the English language, so as to enable the Participant to understand the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan. If the Participant has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control. 19. No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or the Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Stock. The Participant should consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. 20. Confidentiality. (a) The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant’s position and employment by the Company has required, and will continue to require, that the Participant have access to, and knowledge of, valuable and sensitive information relating to the Company and its business including, but not limited to, information relating to its products and product development; pricing; engineering and design specifications; trade secrets; customers; suppliers; employees; unique and/or proprietary software and source code; and marketing plans (collectively, “Confidential Information”). (b) The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant will keep in strict confidence, and will not, directly or indirectly, at any time during or after the Participant’s employment with the Company, disclose, furnish, disseminate, make available or use Confidential Information of the Company or its customers or suppliers, without limitation as to when or how the Participant may have acquired such information, other than in the proper performance of the Participant’s duties to the Company, unless and until such Confidential Information is or shall become general public knowledge through no fault of the Participant. (c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the Participant’s ability to file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other U.S. federal, state or local and/or non U.S. governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”). Furthermore, this Agreement does not limit the Participant’s ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other Company confidential information, without notice to the Company. This Agreement also does not limit the Employee’s right to receive an award for information provided to any Government Agencies. Pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, an individual may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (i) is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. Further, an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the employer's trade secrets to the attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the individual: (i) 14
Page 125
files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (ii) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. 21. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. (a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Competition” by the Participant means engaging in, or otherwise directly or indirectly being employed by or acting as a consultant to, or being a director, officer, employee, principal, agent, shareholder, member, owner or partner of, anywhere in the world that competes, directly or indirectly, with the Company in the Business; provided, however, it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for the Participant to become the registered or beneficial owner of up to five percent (5%) of any class of share of any entity in Competition with the Company that is publicly traded on a recognized domestic or foreign securities exchange, provided that the Participant does not otherwise participate in the Business of such corporation. (b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Business” means the creation, development, manufacture, sale, promotion and distribution of vehicle electronics, transportation components, integrated systems and modules, electronic technology and other products and services that the Company engages in, or is preparing to become engaged in, at the time of the Participant’s termination. (c) The Participant agrees that, during the Participant’s employment and for 12 months after the termination of the Participant’s employment by the Participant or by the Employer or Company for any reason other than by reason of involuntary without Cause, the Participant will not directly or indirectly (i) engage in Competition with the Company; (ii) solicit for the Participant’s benefit or the benefit of any other person or entity, business of the same or of a similar nature to the Business from any customer that is doing business with the Company or that did business with the Company in the six months before the termination of the Participant’s employment; or (iii) solicit for the Participant’s benefit or the benefit of any other person or entity from any known potential customer of the Company, business of the same or of a similar nature to the Business. (d) The Participant agrees that, during the Participant’s employment and for 12 months after the termination of the Participant’s employment by the Participant or by the Employer or Company for any reason, the Participant will not directly or indirectly: (i) interfere with the Business of the Company, including, but not limited to, with respect to any relationship or agreement between the Company and any supplier to the Company during the period of the Participant’s employment; or (ii) solicit for the Participant’s benefit or the benefit of any other person or entity, the employment or services of, or hire or engage, any individual who was employed or engaged by the Company during the period of the Participant’s employment. 15
Page 126
(e) The Participant acknowledges that the Company would suffer irreparable harm if the Participant fails to comply with Paragraph 20 or 21 of this Agreement, and that the Company would be entitled to any appropriate relief, including money damages, equitable relief and attorneys' fees. The Participant further acknowledges that enforcement of the covenants in Paragraph 21 is necessary to ensure the protection and continuity of the business and goodwill of the Company and that, due to the proprietary nature of the Business of the Company, the restrictions set forth in Paragraph 21 are reasonable as to geography, duration and scope. 22. Jurisdiction and Venue. The parties agree that enforcement of this Agreement, including any legal actions for breach of this Agreement, may only be brought in a state or federal court located in Oakland County or Wayne County, Michigan, U.S.A. or, at the Company’s or Employer’s discretion, in the jurisdiction in which the Participant is located. The parties expressly agree that Michigan state and federal courts may properly exercise personal jurisdiction over them in any such litigation, and hereby waive any objections to personal jurisdiction and venue in: (a) any Michigan state court located in Wayne County or Oakland County, Michigan; (b) the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan; or (c) at the Company’s or Employer’s discretion, in the jurisdiction in which the Participant is located. 23. Incorporation by Reference. The terms of the Plan are expressly incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan will govern. 24. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, U.S.A. without reference to any conflict of laws principles thereof. 16
Page 127
25. Severability. In the event any provision of the Agreement is held unenforceable, illegal or invalid for any reason, the unenforceability, illegality or invalidity will not affect the remaining provisions of the Agreement, and the Agreement will be construed and enforced as if the unenforceable, illegal or invalid provision has not been inserted, and the provisions so held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal shall be reformed to the extent (and only to the extent) necessary to make it enforceable, valid and legal. 26.

ADDENDUM TO THE PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT GRANT AGREEMENT COUNTRY-SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Addendum have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or in the Agreement. TERMS AND CONDITIONS This document (the “Addendum”) includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Performance Stock Units granted under the Plan if the Participant works and/or resides in one of the countries or jurisdictions listed below. If the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant currently is residing and/or working, transfers employment and/or residency after the Grant Date or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply to the Participant (or, in the event of the Participant’s relocation, the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate such relocation). NOTIFICATIONS This document also includes information regarding certain issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of January 2022. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Participant should not rely on the information noted in this document as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Participant’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date by the time the Participant vests in Performance Stock Units or sells shares or Stock acquired under the Plan. In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of a particular result. Accordingly, the Participant should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant’s country may apply to his or her situation. If the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant currently is residing and/or working, transfers employment and/or residency after the Grant Date or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the notifications contained herein may not apply to the Participant. 18

European Union (“EU”) / European Economic Area (“EEA”) and the United Kingdom Data Privacy. If the Participant resides and/or performs services in the EU/EEA or the United Kingdom, Paragraph 12 of the Agreement shall be replaced with the following: The Company, with its registered address at One Village Center Drive, Van Buren Township, Michigan 48111, U.S.A., is the controller responsible for the processing of the Participant’s personal data by the Company and the third parties noted below. (a)Data Collection and Usage. Pursuant to applicable data protection laws, the Participant is hereby notified that the Company collects, processes and uses certain personally-identifiable information about the Participant for the legitimate interest of implementing, administering and managing the Plan and generally administering equity awards; specifically, including the Participant’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Performance Stock Units, options or any other entitlement to shares of Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, which the Company receives from the Participant or the Employer (“Personal Data”). In granting the Performance Stock Units under the Plan, the Company will collect Personal Data for purposes of allocating shares of Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the collection, processing and use of Personal Data is the necessity of the processing for the Company to perform its contractual obligations under this Agreement and the Plan and the Company’s legitimate business interests of managing the Plan, administering employee equity awards and complying with its contractual and statutory obligations. (b)Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company transfers Personal Data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services, an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share Personal Data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Company’s service provider will open an account for the Participant to receive and trade shares of Stock. The Participant will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition to the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. The processing of Personal Data will take place through both electronic and non-electronic means. Personal Data will only be accessible by those individuals requiring access to it for purposes of implementing, administering and operating the Plan. (c)International Data Transfers. The Company and its service providers are based in the United States. The Participant’s country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States. For example, an appropriate level of protection can be achieved by implementing safeguards such as the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the EU Commission. Personal Data will be transferred from the EU/EEA to the Company and onward from the Company to any of its service providers based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. The Participant may request a copy of such appropriate safeguards by contacting his or her local human resources department. (d)Data Retention. The Company will use Personal Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs Personal Data, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps Personal Data longer, it would 19
Page 130
be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be for compliance with relevant laws or regulations. (e)Data Subject Rights. The Participant may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Participant’s country. For example, the Participant’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Personal Data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect Personal Data, (iii) request deletion of Personal Data, (iv) place restrictions on processing of Personal Data, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Participant’s country, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Personal Data. To receive clarification regarding the Participant’s rights or to exercise the Participant’s rights, the Participant may contact his or her local human resources department. Brazil Form of Settlement. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Final Award shall be settled in the form of a cash payment. Labor Law Acknowledgment. The Participant agrees that (i) the benefits provided under the Agreement and the Plan are the result of commercial transactions unrelated to the Participant’s employment; (ii) the Agreement and the Plan are not part of the terms and conditions of your employment; and (iii) the income from the vesting of the Performance Stock Units, if any, is not part of the Participant’s remuneration from employment. Nature of Grant. This provision supplements Section 11 of the Agreement: By accepting the Performance Stock Units, the Participant agrees that (i) the Participant is making an investment decision and (ii) the value of the underlying Shares is not fixed and may increase or decrease over the vesting period without compensation to the Participant. Compliance with Law. By participating in the Plan, the Participant agrees to comply with applicable Brazilian laws and to pay any and all applicable taxes associated with the vesting of the Performance Stock Units and any cash payment made under the Plan. Bulgaria No country-specific provisions. Canada Form of Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or the Plan, the Performance Stock Units shall be settled only in shares of Stock (and may not be settled in cash).

The Participant may only be permitted to sell or dispose of any shares of Stock 20
Page 131
acquired under the Plan if such sale or disposal takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the shares of Stock are listed (i.e., the Nasdaq). Forfeiture upon Termination. This provision supplements Section 3(f) of the Agreement: For purposes of the Performance Stock Units, the Committee or its delegate may provide that the Participant’s termination will occur as of the date the Participant is no longer actually employed or otherwise rendering services to the Employer (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment or other laws or otherwise rendering services or the terms of the Participant’s employment or other service agreement, if any). In such case, unless otherwise provided in the Agreement or extended by the Company, the Participant’s right to Earn and vest in the Performance Stock Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date (the “Termination Date”). The Termination Date will not be extended by any common law notice period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if applicable employment standards legislation specifically requires continued entitlement to vesting during a statutory notice period, the Participant’s right to vest in the Performance Stock Units under the Plan, if any will be allowed to continue for that minimum notice period but then immediately terminate effective as of the last day of the Participant’s minimum statutory notice period. In the event the date the Participant is no longer providing actual service cannot be reasonably determined under the terms of the Agreement and/or the Plan, the Committee or its delegate shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the Performance Stock Units (including whether the Participant may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence). Unless the Agreement or applicable employment standards legislation specifically requires, in the case of the Participant, the Participant will not Earn or be entitled to any pro-rated vesting for that portion of time before the date on which his service relationship is terminated (as determined under this provision), nor will the Participant be entitled to any compensation for lost vesting.

The Participant further authorizes the Company, the Employer and its other Subsidiaries or Affiliates to disclose and discuss the Plan with their advisors.

Germany No country-specific provisions. India No country-specific provisions. Japan No country-specific provisions. Mexico Commercial Relationship. The Participant expressly recognizes that the Participant’s participation in the Plan and the Company’s grant of the Performance Stock Units does not constitute an employment relationship between the Participant and the Company. The Participant has been granted the Performance Stock Units as a consequence of the commercial relationship between the Company and the Company’s Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Participant (“Visteon-Mexico”) and Visteon-Mexico is the Participant’s sole employer. Based on the foregoing, (a) the Participant expressly recognizes the Plan and the benefits the Participant may derive from the Participant’s participation in the Plan does not establish any rights between the Participant and Visteon-Mexico, (b) the Plan and the benefits the Participant may derive from the Participant’s participation in the Plan are not part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by Visteon-Mexico, and (c) any modifications or amendments of the Plan by the Company, or a termination of the Plan by the Company, shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Participant’s employment with Visteon-Mexico. Extraordinary Item of Compensation. The Participant expressly recognizes and acknowledges that the Participant’s participation in the Plan is a result of the discretionary and unilateral decision of the Company, as well as the Participant’s free and voluntary decision to participate in the Plan in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Agreement and this Addendum. As such, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company may, in its sole discretion, amend and/or discontinue the Participant’s participation in the Plan at any time and without any liability. The value of the Performance Stock Units is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of the Participant’s employment contract, if any. The Performance Stock Units are not part of the Participant’s regular or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service 22
Page 133
payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits, or any similar payments, which are the exclusive obligations of Visteon-Mexico. Securities Law Notification. The Performance Stock Units and shares of Stock offered under the Plan have not been registered with the National Register of Securities maintained by the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission and cannot be offered or sold publicly in Mexico. In addition, the Plan, this Agreement and any other document relating to the Performance Stock Units may not be publicly distributed in Mexico. These materials are addressed to the Participant only because of his or her existing relationship with the Company and Visteon-Mexico and these materials should not be reproduced or copied in any form. The offer contained in these materials does not constitute a public offering of securities but rather constitutes a private placement of securities addressed specifically to individuals who are present employees of Visteon- Mexico made in accordance with the provisions of the Mexican Securities Market Law, and any rights under such offering shall not be assigned or transferred. Portugal English Language. The Participant hereby expressly declares that he or she has full knowledge of the English language and has read, understood and fully accepts and agrees with the terms and conditions established in the Plan and the Agreement. O Participante, pelo presente instrumento, declara expressamente que tem pleno conhecimento da língua inglesa e que leu, compreendeu e livremente aceitou e concordou com os termos e condições estabelecidas no Plano e do Contrato. Romania No country-specific provisions. Russia Form of Settlement. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Restricted Stock Units shall be settled in the form of a cash payment. Slovakia No country-specific provisions. South Korea No country-specific provisions. Spain Acknowledgement of Discretionary Nature of the Plan; No Vested Rights. In accepting the grant of Performance Stock Units, the Participant acknowledges that he or she consents to participation in the Plan and has received a copy of the Plan. The Participant understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion granted Performance Stock Units under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates on an ongoing basis. Consequently, the Participant understands that the Performance Stock Units are granted on the assumption and condition that the 23
Page 134
Performance Stock Units and the shares of Stock acquired upon vesting of the Performance Stock Units shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, the Participant understands that this grant would not be made to the Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referenced above; thus, the Participant acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, the grant of the Performance Stock Units shall be null and void. The Participant understands and agrees that, as a condition of the grant of the Performance Stock Units, the Participant’s termination of employment for any reason (including the reasons listed below) will automatically result in the loss of the Performance Stock Units to the extent the Performance Stock Units have not vested as of date that the Participant ceases active employment. In particular, unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, the Participant understands and agrees that any unvested Performance Stock Units as of the date the Participant ceases active employment will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying shares of Stock or to any amount of indemnification in the event of the termination of employment by reason of, but not limited to, resignation, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without cause, individual or collective dismissal on objective grounds, whether adjudged or recognized to be with or without cause, material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute, Article 50 of the Workers’ Statute, unilateral withdrawal by the Employer and under Article 10.3 of the Royal Decree 1382/1985. The Participant acknowledges that the Participant has read and specifically accepts the conditions referred to in the Agreement regarding the impact of a termination of employment on the Participant’s Performance Stock Units. Securities Law Notification. No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory under the Plan. The Plan, the Performance Stock Units, the Agreement, this Addendum and all other materials the Participant may receive regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan have not been nor will they be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (Spanish Securities Exchange Commission), and they do not constitute a public offering prospectus. 24

Taiwan Securities Law Information. The Performance Stock Units and any shares of Stock to be issued pursuant to the Plan are available only for employees. The grant of Performance Stock Units is not a public offer of securities by a Taiwanese company. Thailand No country-specific provisions. Tunisia Form of Settlement. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Final Award shall be settled in the form of a cash payment. United Kingdom Withholding of Taxes. Without limitation to Paragraph 6 of the Agreement, the Participant hereby agrees that the Participant is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company, the Employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Participant also hereby agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold on the Participant’s behalf or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the Participant may not be able to indemnify the Company or the Employer for the amount of any income tax not collected from or paid by the Participant, as it may be considered a loan. In this case, the amount of any income tax not collected within 90 days after the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items occurs may constitute an additional benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and national insurance contribution may be payable. The Participant understands that the Participant will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company and/or the Employer for the value of any employee national insurance contribution due on this additional benefit, which may be recovered from the Participant’s by the Company or the Employer by any of the means referred to in Paragraph 6 of the Agreement. Exclusion of Claim. The Participant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Participant will have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from the Participant ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to Performance Stock Units, whether or not as a result of termination of employment (whether such termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss of diminution in value of the Performance Stock Units. Upon the grant of the Performance Stock Units, the Participant shall be deemed to have waived irrevocably such entitlement. 25

VISTEON CORPORATION 2020 INCENTIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT AGREEMENT Visteon Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), subject to the terms of the Visteon Corporation 2020 Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”) and this restricted stock unit agreement (this “Agreement”), hereby grants to Participant Name, Global ID Employee ID, (the “Participant”), restricted stock units (“Restricted Stock Units”) as further described herein. For purposes of this Agreement, “Employer” means the entity (the Company or a Subsidiary) that employs the Participant. All capitalized words not defined in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan. 1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby grants to the Participant Number of Awards Granted Restricted Stock Units with a grant value of Grant Custom 1 per unit, effective as of Grant Date (the “Grant Date”) under the Plan, and subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement. In the event of certain corporate transactions, the number of Restricted Stock Units covered by this Agreement may be adjusted by the Committee as further described in Section 3 of the Plan. Electronic acceptance of this Agreement through the third party designee must be made within 90 days of the Grant Date (by Accept By Date); otherwise the award in its entirety will be forfeited. 2. Vesting of Restricted Stock Units. (a) Unless terminated earlier pursuant to Paragraph 3, during the Participant’s continuous employment with the Employer, the Restricted Stock Units will vest in accordance with the following vesting schedule: (i) Vesting Date 1 Quantity will vest on Vesting Date 1; (ii) Vesting Date 2 Quantity will vest on Vesting Date 2; and (iii) Vesting Date 3 Quantity will vest on Vesting Date 3 (b) If a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) occurs before all of the Restricted Stock Units granted under this Agreement have vested, the following rules will apply, in addition to the vesting provided for in Paragraph 2(a): (i) Unless forfeited earlier pursuant to Paragraph 3, if the Restricted Stock Units are not assumed, converted or replaced by the acquirer or other continuing entity, the outstanding Restricted Stock Units that have not previously vested will become fully vested immediately before the Change in Control. (ii) If (A) the Restricted Stock Units are assumed, converted or replaced by the acquirer or other continuing entity and (B) the Participant’s employment is terminated within 24 months following the Change in Control by the Employer without “Cause” (as defined below) (other than by reason of death or disability) or as otherwise set forth in any change in control agreement, the outstanding Restricted Stock Units that have not previously vested will become fully vested immediately upon the termination of the Participant’s employment. 3. Termination of Employment. (a) Except as set forth in Paragraph 2(b)(ii) or in the remaining provisions of this Rev. 01/2025
Page 137
Paragraph 3, if the Participant’s employment with the Employer is terminated for any reason, the Participant will forfeit any and all rights to Restricted Stock Units that have not vested on the termination date, and such Restricted Stock Units will be cancelled. A transfer or assignment of employment to a company that is owned at least 50% directly or indirectly by the Company shall not be deemed a termination of employment solely for purposes of Restricted Stock Units covered by this Agreement. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 3(a), if the Participant is placed on an approved leave of absence, with or without pay, the Restricted Stock Units will vest in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 2 as if the Participant was actively employed. (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 3(a), if the Participant’s employment with the Employer is terminated by reason of involuntary termination by the Employer without “Cause” (as defined below), and either (x) the Participant had remained in the employ of the Employer for at least 180 days following the Grant Date, or (y) a Change in Control has occurred before the termination of employment, the Restricted Stock Units that have not previously vested and that do not fully vest upon that termination pursuant to Paragraph 2(b)(ii) will vest on a pro rata basis so that, taking into account the Restricted Stock Units, if any, that have previously vested pursuant to Paragraph 2(a) (i) or pursuant to Paragraphs 2(a)(i) and 2(a)(ii), the percentage of all Restricted Stock Units granted under this Agreement that is vested is equal to 100% multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the date of grant to the date of the termination of the Participant’s employment, inclusive, and the denominator of which is the number of days from the Grant Date to Vesting Date 3. (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 3(a), if the Participant’s employment with the Employer is terminated by reason of disability (for U.S. employees, as defined in the Company’s long-term disability plan and for employees outside of the U.S. as determined by the Employer’s long-term disability policy or by the Committee or its delegate, in its sole discretion), death, or "retirement" (as defined below), and either (x) the Participant had remained in the employ of the Employer for at least 180 days following the Grant Date before the termination of the Participant’s employment with the Employer, or (y) the Change in Control has occurred before the termination of employment, the Participant will be entitled to 100% of the outstanding units as of the date of the termination of the Participant’s employment. (e) For purposes of this Agreement, “retirement” shall mean the Participant’s voluntary termination of employment after attaining age 60 and completion of 5 years of continuous service. (f) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean (i) the willful and continued failure by the Participant to substantially perform the Participant’s duties with the Employer (other than any such failure resulting from the Participant’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Participant by (A) if the Participant is an executive officer of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company, or (B) if the Participant is not an executive officer of the Company, the head of the Company’s global human resources department, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Employer believes that the Participant has not substantially performed the Participant’s duties, or (ii) the willful engaging by the Participant in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company or a Subsidiary, monetarily or otherwise. For purposes of clauses (i) and (ii) of this definition, no act, or failure to act, on the Participant’s part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Participant not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the Participant’s act, or failure to act, was in the best interest of the Company. (a) For purposes of the Restricted Stock Units, the Participant’s employment is considered terminated as of the earlier of (a) the date the Participant’s employment with the Employer is terminated; 2
Page 138
(b) subject to Paragraph 3(b), the date on which the Participant ceases to provide active service to the Employer; or (c) the date on which the Participant receives a notice of termination of employment (in all cases, regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or rendering services or the terms of the Participant’s employment or service contract, if any). The Participant’s rights to participate in the Plan will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., service would not include any contractual notice or any period of “garden leave” or period of pay in lieu of such notice required under any employment law in the country where the Participant works or resides (including, but not limited to, statutory law, regulatory law and/or common law)). The Committee or its delegate shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the Restricted Stock Units. 4. Settlement of Vested Units. (a) The Participant’s vested Restricted Stock Units will be settled upon the earliest to occur of (i) the vesting date applicable to such Restricted Stock Unit as set forth in Paragraph 2(a) above (disregarding any acceleration of the vesting date under Paragraph 2(b) or Paragraph 3 above), (ii) in the case of accelerated vesting under Paragraph 3(d) due to the death of the Participant, as soon as practicable (and in any event within 60 days) following the Participant’s date of death, or (iii) in any other case in which the Participant terminates employment and is entitled to accelerated vesting, within ten days thereafter, except to the extent that Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) requires that payment be postponed for six months and one day, or the Participant’s earlier death occurring, after the date of the Participant’s “separation from service” (such applicable date, the “Settlement Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion and to the extent permitted under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A3(j)(4)(ix)(B), terminate this Agreement and pay all outstanding Restricted Stock Units to the Participant, on a fully vested and immediately payable basis, on a Settlement Date within 30 days before, upon or within twelve months after Change in Control that constitutes a “change in the ownership,” a “change in the effective control” or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. (b) Settlement will be made through the delivery of one share of Stock for each vested Restricted Stock Unit, less applicable withholding and brokerage fees associated with the sale of any shares of Stock to pay applicable withholding. Any shares of Stock will be issued in book-entry form, registered in the Participant’s name or in the name of the Participant’s legal representatives, beneficiaries or heirs, as the case may be. The Company will not deliver any fractional share of Stock and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional share shall be given in lieu of fractional shares or whether some other more administratively feasible mechanism will be utilized. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain jurisdictions as stated in the Addendum to this grant agreement, the Committee may direct that in lieu of settlement through delivery of shares of Stock, the Participant’s vested Restricted Stock Units will be settled by a single lump sum cash payment equal to the number of vested Restricted Stock Units to be settled multiplied by the Fair Market Value on the Settlement Date of a share of Stock, less applicable withholding taxes. All Restricted Stock Units that have become vested and are settled will be cancelled. (c) The Company may retain the services of a third-party administrator to perform administrative services in connection with the Plan. To the extent the Company has retained such an administrator, any reference to the Company will be deemed to refer to any such third-party administrator retained by the Company, and the Company may require the Participant to exercise the Participant’s rights under this Agreement only through such third- party administrator. 3
Page 139
5. Dividend Equivalents. On each record date during the Grant Date through the Settlement Date, the Participant shall receive, with respect to each Restricted Stock Unit, an additional number of Restricted Stock Units equal to the number that such Participant would have received if the Participant had been the holder of record of one share of Stock and had reinvested any cash dividend paid on such share of Stock into Restricted Stock Units (at the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the later of (i) the date the dividend is paid and (ii) the ex-dividend date) subject to the same terms and conditions as the Restricted Stock Units granted herein. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall dividend equivalents with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit be paid to the Participant unless and until the underlying Restricted Stock Unit vests, and if such Units are forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to such dividend equivalents. 6. Responsibility for Taxes; Withholding. (a) Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes and/or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefit tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Participant, or deemed applicable to the Participant, even if technically due by the Company or a Subsidiary, is and remains the Participant’s sole responsibility. Furthermore, the Company and the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of any shares of Stock acquired pursuant to this Agreement and the receipt of any dividend equivalents or dividends; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items. Further, if the Participant becomes subject to taxation in more than one country between the date the Restricted Stock Units are granted and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one country. (b) The Company and/or the Employer may satisfy its obligation to withhold Tax-Related Items associated with the Restricted Stock Units by withholding a number of Restricted Stock Units or shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Committee, approximately equal to the amount required to be withheld, provided that the withholding rates the Company applies do not exceed the maximum statutory tax rates in the Participant’s applicable jurisdiction(s). The Participant shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units. The Participant will have no further rights with respect to any shares of Stock that are withheld by the Company pursuant to this provision. The Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of any fractional Restricted Stock Unit remaining after the withholding requirements are satisfied equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional share or whether some other more administratively feasible mechanism will be utilized. The Participant also authorizes the Company and/or the Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company or Employer or from proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock. Finally, the Participant shall pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or Employer may be required to withhold as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. 4

(c) Dividend equivalents paid on Restricted Stock Units are subject to applicable withholding of Tax-Related Items as described in Paragraph 6(b). (d) This Restricted Stock Unit is intended to be excepted from coverage under, or compliant with, the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, and the regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder (“409A”). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, if the Restricted Stock Unit is subject to the provisions of 409A (and not exempted therefrom), the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan shall be administered, interpreted and construed in a manner necessary to comply with 409A (or disregarded to the extent such provision cannot be so administered, interpreted or construed). If any payment or benefits hereunder may be deemed to constitute nonconforming deferred compensation subject to taxation under the provisions of 409A, the Participant agrees that the Company may, without the consent of the Participant, modify this Agreement to the extent and in the manner the Company deems necessary or advisable in order either to preclude any such payment or benefit from being deemed “deferred compensation” within the meaning of 409A or to provide such payments or benefits in a manner that complies with the provisions of 409A such that they will not be subject to the imposition of taxes and/or interest thereunder. If, at the time of the Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of 409A), (i) the Participant shall be a specified employee (within the meaning of 409A and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) and (ii) the Company shall make a good faith determination that an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of 409A) the settlement of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under 409A, then the Company shall not settle such amount on the otherwise scheduled settlement date, but shall instead settle it, without interest, on the first business day of the month after such six- month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representation and/or warranties with respect to compliance with 409A, and the Participants recognizes and acknowledges that 409A could potentially impose upon the Participant certain taxes and/or interest charges for which the Participant is and shall remain solely responsible. 7. Conditions on Award. (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Committee may cancel an award of Restricted Stock Units, and may refuse to settle vested Restricted Stock Units, if before a Change in Control and during the period from the date of the Participant's termination of employment from the Employer to the date of settlement, the Committee determines that the Participant has either (i) refused to be available, upon request, at reasonable times and upon a reasonable basis, to consult with, supply information to and otherwise cooperate with the Company or its Subsidiaries with respect to any matter that was handled by the Participant or under the Participant's supervision while the Participant was in the employ of the Employer or (ii) engaged in any activity in violation of any non-competition and/or non-solicitation covenants. (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Restricted Stock Unit granted hereunder will be subject to mandatory repayment by the Participant to the Company to the extent the Participant is, or in the future becomes, subject to (i) any Company claw-back or recoupment policy that is adopted to comply with the requirements of any applicable laws, rules or regulations, or otherwise, or (ii) any applicable laws which impose mandatory recoupment, under circumstances set forth in such applicable laws, including as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or other applicable law, regulation or stock exchange listing requirement, as may be in effect from time to time, and which may operate to create additional rights for the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Unit and recovery of amounts relating thereto. By accepting this Restricted Stock Unit, the Participant agrees and acknowledges that the Participant is obligated to cooperate with, and provide any and all assistance necessary to, the Company to recover or recoup this Restricted Stock Unit or amounts paid under this Restricted Stock Unit subject to claw-back 5
Page 141
pursuant to such law, government regulation, stock exchange listing requirement or Company policy. Such cooperation and assistance shall include, but is not limited to, executing, completing and submitting any documentation necessary to recover or recoup this Restricted Stock Unit or amounts paid hereunder from the Participant’s accounts, or pending or future compensation awards that may be made to the Participant. 8. Non-transferability. The Participant has no right to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or otherwise alienate the Restricted Stock Units, and any attempted sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other conveyance will be null and void. 9. Securities Law Restrictions. (a) If the Participant is resident outside of the United States, the grant of Restricted Stock Units is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Participant’s country. The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law), and this grant of Restricted Stock Units is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities. (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may delay transferring shares of Stock to the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary in settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units or may impose restrictions or conditions on the Participant’s (or any beneficiary’s) ability to directly or indirectly sell, hypothecate, pledge, loan, or otherwise encumber, transfer or dispose of the shares of Stock, if the Committee determines that such action is necessary or desirable for compliance with any applicable state, federal or non-U.S. law, the requirements of any stock exchange on which the shares of Stock is then traded, or is requested by the Company or the underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933. 10. Limited Interest. (a) The grant of the Restricted Stock Units will not be construed as giving the Participant any interest other than as provided in this Agreement. The Participant’s Restricted Stock Units constitutes an unsecured promise by the Company to pay the Participant one share of Stock on the settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units. As the holder of Restricted Stock Units, the Participant has only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. The Company will credit the Restricted Stock Units to a book-keeping account in the name of the Participant, but no assets of the Company will be held or set aside as security for the obligations of the Company hereunder. The Participant will have no voting rights or any other rights as a shareholder as a result of the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units unless and until shares of Stock are issued in settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units. (b) The grant of the Restricted Stock Units will not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any merger, consolidation or business combination of the Company, or any issuance or modification of any term, condition, or covenant of any bond, debenture, debt, preferred stock or other instrument ahead of or affecting the stock or the rights of the holders thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business or any other Company act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise. 11. Nature of Grant. 6
Page 142
In accepting the Restricted Stock Units, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that: (a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; (b) the grant of Restricted Stock Units is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Units, benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, or other benefits in the future, even if Restricted Stock Units have been granted repeatedly in the past; (c) all decisions with respect to future grants of Restricted Stock Units, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be made by the Company, in its sole discretion; (d) nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligation between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and the Participant; (e) the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan; (f) the grant of the Restricted Stock Units will not confer on the Participant any right to continue as an employee or continue in service of the Employer, nor interfere in any way with the right of the Employer to terminate the Participant's employment at any time; (g) the grant of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment or service contract or relationship with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (h) the Restricted Stock Units are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or any Subsidiary, and are outside the scope of the Participant’s employment contract, if any; (i) the Restricted Stock Units are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; (j) the Restricted Stock Units are not part of the Participant’s normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of- services payments, holiday pay, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits, or similar payments and in no event should they be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to past services for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; (k) the future value of the shares of Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; (l) in consideration of the Restricted Stock Unit, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from the Restricted Stock Unit resulting from termination of the Participant’s employment (for any reason whatsoever) and the Participant irrevocably releases the Company and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates from any such claim that may arise; if such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then by signing or electronically accepting this Agreement, the Participant shall be deemed to have waived the Participant’s entitlement to pursue such claim; (m) unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Restricted Stock Units and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Restricted Stock Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor be 7
Page 143
exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of Stock; (n) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Restricted Stock Units and the shares of Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Participant may provide as a director of a Subsidiary; and (o) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be liable for any change in the value of the Restricted Stock Units, the amount realized upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or the amount realized upon a subsequent sale of any shares of Stock acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, resulting from any fluctuation of the United States Dollar/local currency foreign exchange rate. 12. Data Privacy. The Company and the Employer hold and control certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance, passport or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, tax jurisdiction, job title, any shares of Stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all options, Restricted Stock Units or any other entitlement to shares of Stock or units awarded, canceled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant's favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). The Company and/or its Subsidiaries will transfer Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Participant’s participation in the Plan, and the Company and its Subsidiaries may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. These recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, or elsewhere throughout the world, such as the United States. The Company will protect the Data by insuring that any such recipients have entered into an agreement to hold or process such Data in compliance with the E.U. Model Clauses or similar legislation of the country where the Participant resides, and will receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, solely for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding of shares of Stock on the Participant’s behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the Participant may elect to deposit any shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan. The Participant understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. Further, the Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or later seeks to revoke the Participant’s consent, the Participant’s employment status with the Employer will not be affected. The only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Restricted Stock Units or other equity awards to the Participant or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he or she may contact the Participant’s local human resources representative. The Participant may, at any time, exercise the Participant’s rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include the right to (a) obtain confirmation as to the existence 8
Page 144
of Data, (b) verify the content, origin and accuracy of Data, (c) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion, or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of Data, (d) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data that is not necessary or required for the implementation, administration and/or operation of the Plan and the Participant’s participation in the Plan, and (e) withdraw the Participant’s consent to the collection, processing or transfer of Data as provided hereunder (in which case the Restricted Stock Units will be null and void). The Participant may seek to exercise these rights by contacting the Participant’s local human resources representative. Finally, upon request of the Company or the Employer, the Participant agrees to provide an executed data privacy consent form to the Company and/or the Employer (or any other agreements or consents that may be required by the Company and/or the Employer) that the Company and/or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain from the Participant for the purpose of administering the Participant’s participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Participant’s country, either now or in the future. The Participant understands and agrees that he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan if the Participant fails to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Employer. 13. Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws. By participating in the Plan, the Participant agrees to comply with the Company’s policy on insider trading (to the extent that it is applicable to the Participant). The Participant further acknowledges that, depending on the Participant’s or the broker’s country of residence or where the shares of Stock are listed, the Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws that may affect the Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Stock, rights to shares of Stock (e.g., Restricted Stock Units) or rights linked to the value of shares of Stock, during such times the Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company as defined by the laws or regulations in the Participant’s country. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant places before he or she possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. The Participant understands that third parties include fellow employees. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and that the Participant should therefore consult his or her personal advisor on this matter. 14. Foreign Asset/Account Reporting and Exchange Control Requirements. The Participant acknowledges that the Participant’s country may have certain foreign asset and/or foreign account reporting requirements and exchange controls which may affect the Participant’s ability to acquire or hold shares of Stock acquired under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends paid on shares of Stock or sales proceeds from the sale of shares of Stock) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Participant’s country. The Participant may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in the Participant’s country. The Participant also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan to the Participant’s country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s responsibility to be compliant with such regulations, and the Participant should consult his or her personal legal advisor for any details. 9
Page 145
15. Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Restricted Stock Units and on any shares of Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company or any of its Subsidiaries determine it necessary or advisable to comply with local laws, rules and/or regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the Restricted Stock Units and the Plan, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. The Participant agrees to take any and all actions, and consents to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Participant’s country. In addition, the Participant agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Participant’s personal obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in the Participant’s country. 16. Addendum. This grant of Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any Addendum to this Agreement for the Participant’s country of residence or employment, if different. Moreover, if the Participant relocates to one of the countries included in the Addendum, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons (or the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Participant’s relocation). The Addendum constitutes part of this Agreement. 17. Electronic Delivery of Award Agreement. The Company, in its sole discretion, may decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company. 18. Language. The Participant acknowledges that he or she is proficient in the English language, or has consulted with an advisor who is proficient in the English language, so as to enable the Participant to understand the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan. If the Participant has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control. 19. No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or the Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Stock. The Participant should consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. 20. Confidentiality. (a) The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant’s position and employment by the Company has required, and will continue to require, that the Participant have access to, and knowledge of, valuable and sensitive information relating to the Company and its business 10
Page 146
including, but not limited to, information relating to its products and product development; pricing; engineering and design specifications; trade secrets; customers; suppliers; employees; unique and/or proprietary software and source code; and marketing plans (collectively, “Confidential Information”). (b) The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant will keep in strict confidence, and will not, directly or indirectly, at any time during or after the Participant’s employment with the Company, disclose, furnish, disseminate, make available or use Confidential Information of the Company or its customers or suppliers, without limitation as to when or how the Participant may have acquired such information, other than in the proper performance of the Participant’s duties to the Company, unless and until such Confidential Information is or shall become general public knowledge through no fault of the Participant. (c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the Participant’s ability to file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other U.S. federal, state or local and/or non-U.S. governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”). Furthermore, this Agreement does not limit the Participant’s ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other Company confidential information, without notice to the Company. This Agreement also does not limit the Participant’s right to receive an award for information provided to any Government Agencies. Pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, an individual may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any U.S. federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (a) is made (i) in confidence to a U.S. federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. Further, an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the employer's trade secrets to the attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the individual: (a) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (b) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. 21. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. (a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Competition” by the Participant means engaging in, or otherwise directly or indirectly being employed by or acting as a consultant to, or being a director, officer, employee, principal, agent, shareholder, member, owner or partner of, anywhere in the world that competes, directly or indirectly, with the Company in the Business; provided, however, it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for the Participant to become the registered or beneficial owner of up to five percent (5%) of any class of share of any entity in Competition with the Company that is publicly traded on a recognized domestic or foreign securities exchange, provided that the Participant does not otherwise participate in the Business of such corporation. (b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Business” means the creation, development, manufacture, sale, promotion and distribution of vehicle electronics, transportation components, integrated systems and modules, electronic technology and other products and services that the Company engages in, or is preparing to become engaged in, at the time of the Participant’s termination. (c) The Participant agrees that, during the Participant’s employment and for 12 months after the termination of the Participant’s employment by the Participant or by the Employer or Company for 11
Page 147
any reason other than by reason of involuntary without Cause, the Participant will not directly or indirectly (i) engage in Competition with the Company; (ii) solicit for the Participant’s benefit or the benefit of any other person or entity, business of the same or of a similar nature to the Business from any customer that is doing business with the Company or that did business with the Company in the six months before the termination of the Participant’s employment; or (iii) solicit for the Participant’s benefit or the benefit of any other person or entity from any known potential customer of the Company, business of the same or of a similar nature to the Business. (d) The Participant agrees that, during the Participant’s employment and for 12 months after the termination of the Participant’s employment by the Participant or by the Employer or Company for any reason, the Participant will not directly or indirectly: (i) interfere with the Business of the Company, including, but not limited to, with respect to any relationship or agreement between the Company and any supplier to the Company during the period of the Participant’s employment; or (ii) solicit for the Participant’s benefit or the benefit of any other person or entity, the employment or services of, or hire or engage, any individual who was employed or engaged by the Company during the period of the Participant’s employment. (e) The Participant acknowledges that the Company would suffer irreparable harm if the Participant fails to comply with Paragraph 20 or 21 of this Agreement, and that the Company would be entitled to any appropriate relief, including money damages, equitable relief and attorneys' fees. The Participant further acknowledges that enforcement of the covenants in Paragraph 21 is necessary to ensure the protection and continuity of the business and goodwill of the Company and that, due to the proprietary nature of the Business of the Company, the restrictions set forth in Paragraph 21 are reasonable as to geography, duration and scope. 22. Jurisdiction and Venue. The parties agree that enforcement of this Agreement, including any legal actions for breach of this Agreement, may only be brought in a state or federal court located in Oakland County or Wayne County, Michigan, U.S.A. or, at Company’s or Employer’s discretion, in the jurisdiction in which the Participant is located. The parties expressly agree that Michigan state and federal courts may properly exercise personal jurisdiction over them in any such litigation, and hereby waive any objections to personal jurisdiction and venue in: (a) any Michigan state court located in Wayne County or Oakland County, Michigan; (b) the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan; or (c) at the Company’s or Employer’s discretion, in the jurisdiction in which the Participant is located. 23. Incorporation by Reference. The terms of the Plan are expressly incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan will govern. 24. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, U.S.A., without reference to any conflict of laws principles thereof. 25. Severability. If any provision of the Agreement is held unenforceable, illegal or invalid for any reason, the unenforceability, illegality or invalidity will not affect the remaining provisions of the Agreement, and the Agreement is to be construed and enforced as if the unenforceable, illegal or invalid provision has not 12
Page 148
been inserted, and the provisions so held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal shall be reformed to the extent (and only to the extent) necessary to make it enforceable, valid and legal. 26. Waiver. The waiver by the Company with respect to the Participant’s (or any other participant’s) compliance of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by such party of a provision of this Agreement. 27. Binding Effect; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and the Participant, and to each of their respective heirs, representatives, successors and permitted assigns. Neither the terms of this Agreement nor the Plan shall confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the Company and the Participant and to each of their respective heirs, representatives, successor and permitted assigns. 28. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, terminated or otherwise altered except by the written consent of Visteon Corporation and the Participant. 29. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. 13
Page 149
ADDENDUM TO THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT AGREEMENT COUNTRY-SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Addendum have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or in the Agreement. TERMS AND CONDITIONS This document (the “Addendum”) includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Stock Units granted under the Plan if the Participant works and/or resides in one of the countries or jurisdictions listed below. If the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant currently is residing and/or working, transfers employment and/or residency after the Grant Date or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply to the Participant (or, in the event of the Participant’s relocation, the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate such relocation). NOTIFICATIONS This document also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of January 2022. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Participant should not rely on the information noted in this document as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Participant’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date by the time the Participant vests in Restricted Stock Units or sells shares or Stock acquired under the Plan. In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of a particular result. Accordingly, the Participant should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant’s country may apply to his or her situation. If the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant currently is residing and/or working, transfers employment and/or residency after the Grant Date or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the notifications contained herein may not apply to the Participant. European Union (“EU”) / European Economic Area (“EEA”) and the United Kingdom Data Privacy. If the Participant resides and/or performs services in the EU/EEA or the United Kingdom, Paragraph 12 of the Agreement shall be replaced with the following: The Company, with its registered address at One Village Center Drive, Van Buren Township, Michigan 48111, U.S.A., is the controller responsible for the processing of the Participant’s personal data by the Company and the third parties noted below. (a)Data Collection and Usage. Pursuant to applicable data protection laws, the Participant is hereby notified that the Company collects, processes and uses certain personally-identifiable information about the Participant for the legitimate interest of implementing, administering and managing the Plan 14
Page 150
and generally administering equity awards; specifically, including the Participant’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Restricted Stock Units, options or any other entitlement to shares of Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, which the Company receives from the Participant or the Employer (“Personal Data”). In granting the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, the Company will collect Personal Data for purposes of allocating shares of Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the collection, processing and use of Personal Data is the necessity of the processing for the Company to perform its contractual obligations under this Agreement and the Plan and the Company’s legitimate business interests of managing the Plan, administering employee equity awards and complying with its contractual and statutory obligations. (b)Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company transfers Personal Data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services, an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share Personal Data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Company’s service provider will open an account for the Participant to receive and trade shares of Stock. The Participant will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition to the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. The processing of Personal Data will take place through both electronic and non-electronic means. Personal Data will only be accessible by those individuals requiring access to it for purposes of implementing, administering and operating the Plan. (c)International Data Transfers. The Company and its service providers are based in the United States. The Participant’s country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States. For example, an appropriate level of protection can be achieved by implementing safeguards such as the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the EU Commission. Personal Data will be transferred from the EU/EEA to the Company and onward from the Company to any of its service providers based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. The Participant may request a copy of such appropriate safeguards by contacting his or her local human resources department. (d)Data Retention. The Company will use Personal Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including tax and securities laws.

This provision supplements Section 3 of the Agreement: For purposes of the Restricted Stock Units, the Committee or its delegate may provide that the Participant’s termination will occur as of the date the Participant is no longer actually employed or otherwise rendering services to the Employer (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment or other laws or otherwise rendering services or the terms of the Participant’s employment or other service agreement, if any).

The Termination Date will not be extended by any common law notice period.

The Participant expressly recognizes that the Participant’s participation in the Plan and the Company’s grant of the Restricted Stock Units does not constitute an employment relationship between the Participant and the Company. The Participant has been granted the Restricted Stock Units as a consequence of the commercial relationship between the Company and the Company’s Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Participant (“Visteon-Mexico”) and Visteon-Mexico is the Participant’s sole employer.

Extraordinary Item of Compensation. The Participant expressly recognizes and acknowledges that the Participant’s participation in the Plan is a result of the discretionary and unilateral decision of the Company, as well as the Participant’s free and voluntary decision to participate in the Plan in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Agreement and this Addendum. As such, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company may, in its sole discretion, amend and/or discontinue the Participant’s participation in the Plan at any time and without any liability. The value of the Restricted Stock Units is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of the Participant’s employment contract, if any. The Restricted Stock Units are not part of the Participant’s regular or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits, or any similar payments, which are the exclusive obligations of Visteon-Mexico. Securities Law Notification. The Restricted Stock Units and shares of Stock offered under the Plan have not been registered with the National Register of Securities maintained by the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission and cannot be offered or sold publicly in Mexico. In addition, the Plan, this Agreement and any other document relating to the Restricted Stock Units may not be publicly distributed in Mexico. These materials are addressed to the Participant only because of his or her existing relationship with the Company and Visteon-Mexico and these materials should not be reproduced or copied in any form. The offer contained in these materials does not constitute a public offering of securities but rather constitutes a private placement of securities addressed specifically to individuals who are present employees of Visteon-Mexico made in accordance with the provisions of the Mexican Securities Market Law, and any rights under such offering shall not be assigned or transferred. 18

The Participant understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion granted Restricted Stock Units under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates on an ongoing basis. Consequently, the Participant understands that the Restricted Stock Units are granted on the assumption and condition that the Restricted Stock Units and the shares of Stock acquired upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, the Participant understands that this grant would not be made to the Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referenced above; thus, the Participant acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, the grant of the Restricted Stock Units shall be null and void. The Participant understands and agrees that, as a condition of the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, the Participant’s termination of employment for any reason (including the reasons listed below) will automatically result in the loss of the Restricted Stock Units to the extent the Restricted Stock Units have not vested as of date that the Participant ceases active employment. In particular, unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, the Participant understands and agrees that any unvested Restricted Stock 19
Page 155
Units as of the date the Participant ceases active employment will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying shares of Stock or to any amount of indemnification in the event of the termination of employment by reason of, but not limited to, resignation, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without cause, individual or collective dismissal on objective grounds, whether adjudged or recognized to be with or without cause, material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute, Article 50 of the Workers’ Statute, unilateral withdrawal by the Employer and under Article 10.3 of the Royal Decree 1382/1985.

The Plan, the Restricted Stock Units, the Agreement, this Addendum and all other materials the Participant may receive regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan have not been nor will they be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (Spanish Securities Exchange Commission), and they do not constitute a public offering prospectus. Taiwan Securities Law Information. The Restricted Stock Units and any shares of Stock to be issued pursuant to the Plan are available only for employees. The grant of Restricted Stock Units is not a public offer of securities by a Taiwanese company. Thailand No country-specific provisions. Tunisia Form of Settlement. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Restricted Stock Units shall be settled in the form of a cash payment. United Kingdom Withholding of Taxes. Without limitation to Paragraph 6 of the Agreement, the Participant hereby agrees that the Participant is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company, the Employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Participant also hereby agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold on the Participant’s behalf or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the Participant may not be able to indemnify the Company or the Employer for the amount of any income tax not collected from or paid by the Participant, as it may be considered a loan. In this case, the amount of any income tax not collected within 90 days after the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items occurs may constitute an additional benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and national insurance contribution may be payable. The Participant understands that the Participant will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self- 20
Page 156
assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company and/or the Employer for the value of any employee national insurance contribution due on this additional benefit, which may be recovered from the Participant’s by the Company or the Employer by any of the means referred to in Paragraph 6 of the Agreement. Exclusion of Claim. The Participant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Participant will have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from the Participant ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to Restricted Stock Units, whether or not as a result of termination of employment (whether such termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss of diminution in value of the Restricted Stock Units. Upon the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, the Participant shall be deemed to have waived irrevocably such entitlement. 21
