ADIENT PLC 
EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION  
RECOUPMENT POLICY 
 
1. Scope of this Document.  This policy applies to all performance incentives awarded on or 
after October 31, 2016 (the “Effective Date”) to all persons (“Covered Recipients”) who, at 
the time of such award, are Section 16(b) officers of Adient plc (the “Company”) elected by 
the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).  Any performance incentives awarded 
prior to the Effective Date are not subject to this policy, but remain subject to the Company’s 
ability to recover amounts pursuant to applicable legal or equitable remedies under state and 
federal law.   
For purposes hereof, “performance incentive” means: 
 
(a) Any compensation payable in cash tied to performance metrics that is intended to 
serve as incentive for performance to occur over a period of a year or more; and 
 
(b) Any performance units granted under the Company’s 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan 
(or any successor plan thereto), whether settled in cash, the Company’s ordinary 
shares (“Shares”) or a combination thereof.   
 
A performance incentive is “awarded” on the date the Company grants the award, not on the 
date the award amount is ultimately determined or paid.   
 
While in effect, this policy overrides any contrary provisions of any compensation plans or 
arrangements that the Company adopted or implemented before the Effective Date and any 
such plans or arrangements subsequently adopted or implemented, as well as any contrary 
provisions in any award agreements under such plans or arrangements. 
 
The Company may recoup incentive compensation hereunder regardless of whether the 
Covered Recipient who received the compensation that is subject to recoupment is still 
employed by the Company or an affiliate on the date reimbursement or other payment is 
required.   
 
2. Recoupment of Incentive Compensation.  All performance incentives awarded after the 
Effective Date are subject to recoupment hereunder.  The Compensation Committee of the 
Board (the “Committee”) will, unless prohibited by applicable law, require reimbursement 
from any Covered Recipient of (a) an amount equal to the amount of any overpayment of 
any such incentive paid to such Covered Recipient or (b) any excess number of Shares 
delivered to such Covered Recipient (or the fair market value of such excess number of 
Shares), with respect to a performance period if the following conditions are met: 
 
 The payment or the delivery of Shares was predicated upon the achievement of 
certain financial results with respect to the applicable performance period that were 
subsequently the subject of a material restatement other than a restatement due to 
changes in accounting policy; 
 In the Committee’s view the Covered Recipient engaged in conduct that caused or 
partially caused the need for the restatement; and

4841-3688-1204.8 
 A lower payment would have been made, or fewer Shares delivered, to the Covered 
Recipient based upon the restated financial results.  
The amount required to be reimbursed shall be, in the case of a performance incentive 
payable in cash, the excess of the gross incentive payment made over the gross payment 
that would have been made if the original payment had been determined based on the 
restated financial results or, in the case of a performance incentive payable in Shares, the 
excess number of Shares delivered over the number of Shares that would have been 
delivered if the original number had been determined based on the restated financial results 
(or a cash amount equal to the fair market value of such excess number of Shares at the 
time of the reimbursement). 
 
Unless prohibited by applicable law, the Company will also be entitled to, and the Committee 
will seek, payment by the Covered Recipient of (i) a reasonable rate of interest on any 
incentive that becomes subject to reimbursement hereunder and (ii) the costs of collection.   
 
Following any accounting restatement that the Company is required to prepare due to its 
material noncompliance, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement 
under the securities laws, the Company will also seek to recover any compensation received 
by its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that is required to be reimbursed 
under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. 
 
The Company will determine, in its sole discretion, the method for obtaining reimbursement 
and other payment from the Covered Recipient, which, subject to compliance with applicable 
law, may include, but is not limited to: (i) by offsetting the amount from any compensation 
owed by the Company or any subsidiary to the Covered Recipient (including without 
limitation amounts payable under a deferred compensation plan at such time as is permitted 
by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), (ii) by reducing or 
eliminating future salary increases, cash incentive awards or equity awards, or (iii) by 
requiring the Covered Recipient to pay the amount or deliver an amount of Shares to the 
Company upon its written demand for such payment or delivery of Shares.   
 
3. Administration.  The Committee will have sole discretion in making all determinations 
hereunder, including whether the conduct of a Covered Recipient has caused or partially 
caused the need for a restatement.  
 
4. Binding on Successors.  This policy shall be binding upon and enforceable against the 
Covered Recipients and their heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. 
 
5. Amendment.  The Committee and the Board, in their discretion, may modify or amend, in 
whole or in part, any or all of the provisions of this policy, and may suspend any provision 
hereof from time to time. 
 
6. Governing Law.  This policy, and all rights and obligations hereunder, shall be governed by, 
except to the extent preempted by other applicable laws (a) with respect to the corporate law 
requirements of the Company and similar matters, the internal laws of Ireland (without 
reference to conflict of law principles thereof) and (b) with respect to all other matters arising 
hereunder, the internal laws of the State of New York (without reference to conflict of law 
principles thereof).
