**PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION**

**ITEM 1 — CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**INTRODUCTION TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

We have prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Lear Corporation and subsidiaries pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The financial information presented reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, cash flows and financial position for the interim periods presented. These results are not necessarily indicative of a full year's results of operations.

**LEAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(1) Basis of Presentation** 

Lear Corporation ("Lear," and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company") and its affiliates design, develop, engineer and manufacture complete seat systems, key seat components, complete electrical distribution and connection systems, high-voltage power distribution products, including battery disconnect units ("BDUs"), low-voltage power distribution products and electronic controllers. The Company's main customers are automotive original equipment manufacturers. The Company operates facilities worldwide.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lear, a Delaware corporation, and the wholly-owned and less than wholly-owned subsidiaries controlled by Lear. In addition, Lear consolidates all entities, including variable interest entities, in which it has a controlling financial interest. Investments in affiliates in which Lear does not have control, but does have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for under the equity method.

The Company's annual financial results are reported on a calendar year basis, and quarterly interim results are reported using a thirteen week reporting calendar.

**(2) Restructuring**

Restructuring costs include employee termination benefits, asset impairment charges and contract termination costs, as well as other incremental net costs resulting from the restructuring actions. Employee termination benefits are recorded based on existing union and employee contracts, statutory requirements, completed negotiations and Company policy. Other incremental net costs principally include equipment and personnel relocation costs and gains and losses on the sales of facilities. In addition to restructuring costs, the Company also incurs incremental manufacturing inefficiency costs at the operating locations impacted by the restructuring actions during the related restructuring implementation period. Restructuring costs are recognized in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Generally, charges are recorded as restructuring actions are approved, communicated and/or implemented.

**(5) Long-Lived Assets**

*Property, Plant and Equipment*

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Costs associated with the repair and maintenance of the Company's property, plant and equipment are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with improvements which extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the Company's property, plant and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset. Depreciable property is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, using principally the straight-line method.

A summary of property, plant and equipment is shown below (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **September 27,<br>2025** | **December 31,<br>2024** |
| Land | $102.7 | $98.6 |
| Buildings and improvements | 962.6 | 898.3 |
| Machinery and equipment | 5955.4 | 5485.2 |
| Construction in progress | 339.2 | 335.8 |
| Total property, plant and equipment | 7359.9 | 6817.9 |
| Less – accumulated depreciation | (4463.7) | (3984.5) |
| Property, plant and equipment, net | $2896.2 | $2833.4 |

---

Depreciation expense was $147.5 million and $141.7 million in the three months ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024, respectively, and $433.5 million and $423.1 million in the nine months ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024, respectively.

The Company monitors its long-lived assets for impairment indicators on an ongoing basis in accordance with GAAP. If impairment indicators exist, the Company performs the required impairment analysis by comparing the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the long-lived assets to the related net book values. If the net book value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value estimates of long-lived assets are based on independent appraisals or discounted cash flows, giving consideration to the highest and best use of the assets. Key assumptions used in the appraisals are based on a combination of market and cost approaches, as appropriate.

In the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized property, plant and equipment impairment charges of $11.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively, in conjunction with its restructuring actions (Note 2, "Restructuring"). In the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized additional property, plant and equipment impairment charges of $0.4 million and $3.9 million, respectively. The impairment charges are included in cost of sales in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

initiated, the sale is probable and expected to be completed within one year, and the assets are being marketed at a price that is reasonable in relation to their current fair value.

As of December 31, 2024, $42.0 million of the assets held for sale were in connection with the then-pending disposal of a non-core business in the Company's Seating segment. The sale was completed in the first quarter of 2025. Accordingly, the assets classified as held from sale have been removed from the balance sheet as of September 27, 2025.

In the nine months ended September 27, 2025, an incremental loss of $2.7 million on the disposal of the non-core business was recognized to reflect adjustments to the carrying values of the assets and transaction expenses. The loss is included in other expense, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 27, 2025. Proceeds from the sale of $36.5 million are included in cash flows from investing activities in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 27, 2025.

The remaining assets held for sale as of September 27, 2025 and December 31, 2024, are primarily buildings and improvements.

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. Impairment testing is required more often than annually if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. In conducting its annual impairment testing, the Company may first perform a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount. If not, no further goodwill impairment testing is required. If it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount, or if the Company elects not to perform a qualitative assessment of a reporting unit, the Company then compares the fair value of the reporting unit to the related net book value. If the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. The annual goodwill impairment assessment is completed as of the first day of the Company's fourth quarter.

There was no impairment of goodwill in the first nine months of 2025 and 2024. The Company will, however, continue to assess the impact of significant industry and other events on its recorded goodwill.

**(10) Revenue Recognition**

The Company enters into contracts with its customers to provide production parts generally at the beginning of a vehicle's life cycle. Typically, these contracts do not provide for a specified quantity of products, but once entered into, the Company is often expected to fulfill its customers' purchasing requirements for the production life of the vehicle. Many of these contracts may be terminated by the Company's customers at any time. Historically, terminations of these contracts have been infrequent. The Company receives purchase orders from its customers, which provide the commercial terms for a particular production part, including price (but not quantities). Contracts may also provide for annual price reductions over the production life of the vehicle, and prices may be adjusted on an ongoing basis to reflect changes in product content/cost and other commercial factors.

Revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer under standard commercial terms, as the Company does not have an enforceable right to payment prior to such transfer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products based on the current purchase orders, annual price reductions and ongoing price adjustments. In the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, revenue recognized related to prior years represented approximately 1% of consolidated net sales. The Company's customers pay for products received in accordance with payment terms that are customary within the industry. The Company's contracts with its customers do not have significant financing components.

The Company records a contract liability for advances received from its customers. As of September 27, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no significant contract liabilities recorded. Further, in the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, there were no significant contract liabilities recognized in revenue.

Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling costs are included in net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Shipping and handling costs are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

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.

The Company's provision for income taxes is impacted by the level and mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. In addition, the Company recognized discrete tax benefits (expense) on the significant items shown below (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Nine Months Ended** | **Nine Months Ended** |
| | **September 27,<br>2025** | **September 28,<br>2024** |

| Share-based compensation | (1.8) | (0.4) |
| Valuation allowances on deferred tax assets | (0.6) |  |
|  | $26.3 | $27.6 |

---

Excluding the items above, the effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2025 and 2024 approximated the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21%, adjusted for income taxes on foreign earnings, losses and remittances, valuation allowances, tax credits, income tax incentives and other permanent items.

The Company's current and future provision for income taxes is impacted by the initial recognition of and changes in valuation allowances in certain countries. The Company intends to maintain these allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company's future provision for income taxes will include no tax benefit with respect to losses incurred and, except for certain jurisdictions, no tax expense with respect to income generated in these countries until the respective valuation allowances are eliminated. Accordingly, income taxes are impacted by changes in valuation allowances and the mix of earnings among jurisdictions. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. In completing this evaluation, the Company considers all available evidence in order to determine whether, based on the weight of the evidence, a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets is necessary. Such evidence includes historical results, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and expectations for future taxable income (exclusive of the reversal of temporary differences and carryforwards), as well as the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies.

**(Continued)**

based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the Company's deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. If operating results improve or decline on a continual basis in a particular jurisdiction, the Company's decision regarding the need for a valuation allowance could change, resulting in either the initial recognition or reversal of a valuation allowance in that jurisdiction, which could have a significant impact on income tax expense in the period recognized and subsequent periods. In determining the provision for income taxes for financial statement purposes, the Company makes certain estimates and judgments, which affect its evaluation of the carrying value of its deferred tax assets, as well as its calculation of certain tax liabilities.

*2025 Budget Reconciliation Bill* 

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "Act"). The Act includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, including extending and modifying various provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and expanding certain incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act while accelerating the phase-out of other incentives. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and other provisions effective in 2026 and subsequent years. The Company is evaluating the potential impacts of the Act and has determined that the Act will not have a significant impact on its 2025 consolidated financial statements. Further, the Act is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's 2026 consolidated financial statements, based on the guidance issued to date.

For further information related to the Company's income taxes, see Note 8, "Income Taxes," to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**(13) Net Income Per Share Attributable to Lear** 

Basic net income per share attributable to Lear is computed by dividing net income attributable to Lear by the average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common shares issuable upon the satisfaction of certain conditions pursuant to a contractual agreement are considered common shares outstanding and are included in the computation of basic net income per share attributable to Lear.

Diluted net income per share attributable to Lear is computed using the treasury stock method by dividing net income attributable to Lear by the average number of common shares outstanding, including the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents using the average share price during the period.

*Lear Corporation Shareholders' Equity*

<u>Common Stock Share Repurchase Program</u>

The Company may implement share repurchases through a variety of methods, including, but not limited to, open market purchases, accelerated stock repurchase programs and structured repurchase transactions. The extent to which the Company may repurchase its outstanding common stock and the timing of such repurchases will depend upon its financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors.

The Company has a common stock share repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program") which permits the discretionary repurchase of its common stock. Since the inception of the Repurchase Program in the first quarter of 2011, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") has authorized $6.7 billion in share repurchases. As of September 27, 2025, the Company has repurchased, in aggregate, $5.7 billion of its outstanding common stock, at an average price of $94.68 per share, excluding commissions and related fees, and has a remaining repurchase authorization of $0.9 billion, which expires on December 31, 2026.

**(15) Legal and Other Contingencies** 

As of September 27, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had recorded reserves for pending legal disputes, including commercial disputes, product liability claims and other legal matters of $14.3 million and $13.2 million, respectively. Such reserves reflect amounts recognized in accordance with GAAP and typically exclude the cost of legal representation. Reserves for warranty and recall matters are recorded separately from legal reserves, as described below.

*Commercial Disputes*

The Company is involved from time to time in legal proceedings and claims, including, without limitation, commercial or contractual disputes with its customers, suppliers and competitors. These disputes vary in nature and are usually resolved by negotiations between the parties.

*Product Liability, Warranty and Recall Matters*

In the event that use of the Company's products results in, or is alleged to result in, bodily injury and/or property damage or other losses, the Company may be subject to product liability lawsuits and other claims. Such lawsuits generally seek compensatory damages, punitive damages and attorneys' fees and costs. In addition, if any of the Company's products are, or are alleged to be, defective, the Company may be required or requested by its customers to support warranty costs or to participate in a recall or other corrective action involving such products. The Company is party to agreements with certain of its customers, whereby these customers may pursue claims against the Company for contribution of all or a portion of the amounts sought in connection with warranty and recall matters, and certain of the Company's customers have asserted such claims against the Company. The Company can provide no assurances that it will not experience material claims in the future or that it will not incur significant costs to defend such claims.

In certain instances, allegedly defective products may be supplied by the Company's suppliers. The Company may seek recovery from its suppliers of materials or services included within the Company's products that are associated with product liability claims or warranty and recall matters.

The Company carries insurance for certain legal matters, including product liability claims, but such coverage may be limited. The Company does not maintain insurance for warranty and recall matters.

The Company records reserves for warranty and recall matters when liability is probable and related amounts are reasonably estimable.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Foreign currency translation and other | 2.2 |
| Balance at September 27, 2025 | $34.2 |

---

*Environmental Matters*

The Company is subject to local, state, federal and foreign laws, regulations and ordinances which govern activities or operations that may have or have had adverse environmental effects. These regulations impose liability for clean-up costs resulting from past spills, disposals or other releases of hazardous wastes and environmental compliance. The Company's policy is to comply with all applicable environmental laws and to maintain an environmental management program based on ISO 14001 to ensure compliance with this standard. However, the Company currently is, has been and in the future may become, the subject of formal or informal enforcement actions or procedures.

As of September 27, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had recorded environmental reserves of $4.9 million. The Company does not believe that the environmental liabilities associated with its current and former properties will have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows; however, no assurances can be given in this regard.

*Other Matters*

The Company is involved from time to time in various other legal proceedings and claims, including, without limitation, intellectual property matters, tax claims and employment matters. Although the outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe that any of the other legal proceedings or claims in which the Company is currently involved, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, no assurances can be given in this regard.

Although the Company records reserves for legal disputes, warranty and recall matters, and environmental and other matters in accordance with GAAP, the ultimate outcomes of these matters are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ significantly from current estimates.

**(16) Segment Reporting** 

The Company is organized under two reportable operating segments: Seating and E-Systems. Each of these segments has a varied product and technology portfolio across a number of component categories. Further, the Company continuously evaluates this portfolio, aligning it with industry trends while balancing risk-adjusted returns, which allows the Company to offer value-added solutions to its customers.

Our Seating segment consists of the design, development, engineering and manufacture of complete seat systems and key seat components. The Company's capabilities in operations and supply chain management enable synchronized assembly and just-in-time delivery of complex complete seat systems at high volumes to its customers. Key seat components include seat trim covers; surface materials such as leather and fabric; seat mechanisms; seat foam; headrests; and thermal comfort systems such as seat heating, ventilation, active cooling, pneumatic lumbar and massage products. All of these products are compatible with traditional internal combustion engine ("ICE") architectures and electrified powertrains, including the full range of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and battery electric architectures.

**LEAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(Continued)**

Our E-Systems segment consists of the design, development, engineering and manufacture of complete electrical distribution and connection systems; high-voltage power distribution products, including battery disconnect units ("BDUs"); and low-voltage power distribution products and electronic controllers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Electrical distribution and connection systems utilize low-voltage and high-voltage wire, high-speed data cables and flat wiring to connect networks and electrical signals and manage electrical power within the vehicle for all types of powertrains – from traditional ICE architectures to the full range of electrified powertrains that require management of higher voltage and power. Key components of the Company's electrical distribution and connection systems portfolio include wire harnesses, terminals and connectors, high-voltage battery connection systems and engineered components.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• High-voltage battery connection systems include intercell connect boards, bus bars and main battery connection systems. High-voltage power distribution products control the flow and distribution of high-voltage power throughout electrified vehicles and include BDUs which control all electrical energy flowing into and out of high-voltage batteries in electrified vehicles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Low-voltage power distribution products and electronic controllers facilitate signal, data and/or power management within the vehicle and include the associated software required to facilitate these functions. Key components of this portfolio include zonal controllers, body domain control modules and low-voltage and high-voltage power distribution modules. The Company's software offerings include embedded control, cybersecurity software and software to control hardware devices. The Company's customers traditionally have sourced the Company's electronic hardware together with the software that the Company integrates and embeds in it.

The other category includes unallocated costs related to corporate headquarters, regional headquarters and the elimination of intercompany activities, including intersegment revenues and cost of sales, none of which meets the requirements for being classified as an operating segment. Corporate and regional headquarters costs include various support functions, such as information technology, advanced research and development, corporate finance, legal, executive administration and human resources. Such costs are reflected in the operating segment results to the extent they are directly attributable to an operating segment.

The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is Raymond E. Scott, President and Chief Executive Officer. Each of the Company's operating segments reports its results from operations and makes its requests for capital expenditures directly to the CODM. The CODM assesses the operating performance of each segment based on segment earnings (as defined below), which is driven primarily by automotive production volumes in the geographic regions in which it operates, as well as by the success of the vehicle platforms for which it supplies products. Also, each operating segment operates in the competitive Tier 1 automotive supplier environment and is continually working with its customers to manage costs and improve quality. The Company's production processes generally make use of an hourly workforce, dedicated facilities, sequential manufacturing and assembly processes and commodity raw materials.

The CODM evaluates the performance of its operating segments based primarily on (i) revenues from external customers, (ii) pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates, interest expense, net and other expense, net ("segment earnings") and (iii) cash flows, being defined as segment earnings less capital expenditures plus depreciation and amortization.

The accounting policies of the Company's operating segments are the same as those described in this note to the consolidated financial statements.

*Accounts Receivable*

The Company's allowance for credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, primarily accounts receivable, reflects management's estimate of credit losses over the remaining expected life of such assets, measured primarily using historical experience, as well as current conditions and forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Expected credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as changes to expected credit losses during the period, are recognized in earnings. The Company also considers geographic and segment specific risk factors in the development of expected credit losses. As of September 27, 2025 and December 31, 2024, accounts receivable are reflected net of reserves of $29.9 million and $27.3 million, respectively. Changes in expected credit losses were not significant in the first nine months of 2025.

*Marketable Equity Securities*

Marketable equity securities, which the Company accounts for under the fair value option, are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as shown below (in millions):

---

| | **September 27,<br>2025** | **December 31,<br>2024** |
| Other current assets | $10.2 | $6.6 |
| Other long-term assets | 92.9 | 82.6 |
|  | $103.1 | $89.2 |

---

Unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the marketable equity securities are recognized in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The fair value of the marketable equity securities is determined by reference to quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1 input based on the GAAP fair value hierarchy).

*Equity Securities Without Readily Determinable Fair Values*

As of September 27, 2025 and December 31, 2024, investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values of $11.2 million are included in other long-term assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Such investments are valued at cost, less cumulative impairments of $17.0 million.

*Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities*

The Company has used derivative financial instruments, including forwards, futures, options, swaps and other derivative contracts, to reduce the effects of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates and the resulting variability of the Company's operating results. The Company is not a party to leveraged derivatives. The Company's derivative financial instruments are subject to master arrangements that provide for the net settlement of contracts, by counterparty, in the event of default or termination. On the date that a derivative contract for a hedge instrument is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as either (1) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (a fair value hedge), (2) a hedge of the exposure of a forecasted transaction or of the variability

**(Continued)**

in the cash flows of a recognized asset or liability (a cash flow hedge), (3) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation (a net investment hedge) or (4) a contract not designated as a hedge instrument.

For a fair value hedge, the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in earnings and reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income on the same line as the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. For a cash flow hedge, the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. When the underlying hedged transaction is realized, the gain or loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss is recorded in earnings and reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income on the same line as the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. For a net investment hedge, the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in cumulative translation adjustment, which is a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. When the related currency translation adjustment is required to be reclassified, usually upon the sale or liquidation of the investment, the gain or loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss is recorded in earnings and reflected in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of contracts not designated as hedge instruments are recorded in earnings and reflected in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Cash flows attributable to derivatives used to manage foreign currency risks are classified on the same line as the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Upon settlement, cash flows attributable to derivatives designated as net investment hedges are classified as investing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Cash flows attributable to forward starting interest rate swaps are classified as financing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including the identification of the hedge instruments and the related hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. Derivatives are recorded at fair value in other current and long-term assets and other current and long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company also formally assesses whether a derivative used in a hedge transaction is highly effective in offsetting changes in either the fair value or the cash flows of the hedged item. When it is determined that a hedged transaction is no longer probable to occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting.

<u>Foreign Exchange</u>

The Company uses forwards, swaps and other derivative contracts to reduce the effects of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on known foreign currency exposures. Gains and losses on the derivative instruments are intended to offset gains and losses on the hedged transaction in an effort to reduce exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The principal currencies hedged by the Company include the Mexican peso, various European currencies and the Moroccan dirham.

Foreign currency derivative contracts not designated as hedging instruments consist principally of hedges of cash transactions, intercompany loans and certain other balance sheet exposures.

<u>Net Investment Hedges</u>

The Company uses cross-currency interest rate swaps, which are designated as net investment hedges of the foreign currency rate exposure of its investment in certain Euro-denominated subsidiaries. In the nine months ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024, contra interest expense on net investment hedges of $2.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, is included in interest expense, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

*Fair Value Measurements*

GAAP provides that fair value is an exit price, defined as a market-based measurement that represents the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value measurements are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *Market:* | This approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. |
| *Income*:  | This approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount based on current market expectations. |
| *Cost:* | This approach is based on the amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). |

---

Further, GAAP prioritizes the inputs and assumptions used in the valuation techniques described above into a three-tier fair value hierarchy as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *Level 1:* | Observable inputs, such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. |
| *Level 2:* | Inputs, other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly for the asset or liability. |
| *Level 3:* | Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity's own assumptions about the exit price of the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs may be used if there is little or no market data for the asset or liability at the measurement date. |

---

The Company discloses fair value measurements and the related valuation techniques and fair value hierarchy level for its assets and liabilities that are measured or disclosed at fair value.

<u>Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis</u>

The Company determines the fair value of its derivative contracts using quoted market prices to calculate the forward values and then discounts such forward values to the present value. The discount rates used are based on quoted bank deposit or swap interest rates. If a derivative contract is in a net liability position, the Company adjusts these discount rates, if required, by an estimate of the credit spread that would be applied by market participants purchasing these contracts from the Company's counterparties. If an estimate of the credit spread is required, the Company uses significant assumptions and factors other than quoted market rates, which would result in the classification of its derivative liabilities within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. As of September 27, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no derivative contracts that were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy in the first nine months of 2025.

<u>Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis</u>

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.

In the nine months ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024, the Company completed impairment assessments and recorded related impairment charges of $11.6 million and $5.5 million, respectively, related to its property, plant and equipment and $0.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, related to its right-of-use assets. The fair value estimates of the related assets were based on management's estimates using a discounted cash flow method.

As of September 27, 2025, there were no additional significant assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

**Industry Overview**

We supply all vehicle segments of the automotive light vehicle original equipment market in every major automotive producing region in the world. Our sales are driven by the number of vehicles produced by the automotive manufacturers and our content per vehicle. Due to the interconnectedness of the global economy, policy changes in one area of the world can have an immediate and material impact on markets around the world.

Since his inauguration in January 2025, U.S. President Donald J. Trump has announced various tariffs that impact industries around the world, including the automotive industry. As of the date of this Report, the tariffs announced or implemented by the current U.S. administration that could adversely impact our business include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 25% tariff on imports of automobiles and certain automobile parts into the United States from all countries (with respect to automotive parts, the "Automobile Parts Tariff"). Automobile parts that meet specific rules of origin under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement ("USMCA" and "USMCA-qualifying") are currently exempt from the Automobile Parts Tariff; however, this exemption could be modified in the future to include only the U.S. content of USMCA-qualifying automobile parts. The U.S. administration has been negotiating agreements with several countries. It has reached agreements with the United Kingdom, the European Union, Japan and South Korea that include reductions in the Automobile Parts Tariff to 10% (inclusive of existing duties) for the United Kingdom and 15% (inclusive of existing duties) for the European Union, Japan and South Korea.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i9bd43545c3b3458b9c6781c269d66909_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 50% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports into the United States from all countries (the "Steel/Aluminum Tariff"). The Steel/Aluminum Tariff does not apply to goods subject to the Automobile Parts Tariff. This tariff was increased from 25% to 50%, except for imports from the United Kingdom (which remained at 25%), effective June 4, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 25% tariff on all imports into the United States from Mexico and Canada except for USMCA-qualifying goods (the "Mexico/Canada Tariff"). The Mexico/Canada Tariff does not apply to goods subject to the Automobile Parts Tariff or the Steel/Aluminum Tariff. On July 10, 2025, President Trump announced a 35% tariff on all imports into the United States from Canada effective August 1, 2025, and on July 12, 2025, announced a 30% tariff on all imports into the United States from Mexico effective August 1, 2025, implementation of which was suspended on July 31, 2025. Although the exception for USMCA-qualifying goods is expected to remain in place, this has not yet been confirmed by the current U.S. administration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Incremental 20% tariff on all imports into the United States from China (the "China Tariff"). On October 30, 2025, President Trump announced a 10% reduction in the China Tariff.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 10% tariff on all imports into the United States from all countries that are not subject to the Automobile Parts, Mexico/Canada or Steel/Aluminum Tariffs. Certain country-specific tariffs replaced the 10% tariffs effective August 7, 2025 (the "Reciprocal Tariffs"). The China Reciprocal Tariff of 125% was reduced to 10% effective May 14, 2025 through November 10, 2025, and is additive to the China Tariff discussed above. In addition, various country-specific proposals and agreements have been or are being negotiated directly with the affected countries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 50% tariff on copper imports into the United States effective August 1, 2025 (the "Copper Tariff"). The scope of this tariff includes all imports of semi-finished copper and intensive copper derivative products. The tariff does not apply to raw forms of copper, anode or cathode material, or copper scrap.

Although U.S. tariffs did not have a material impact on our operating performance in the first nine months of 2025, the impact of the tariffs noted above could adversely affect our future financial condition and operating results absent recovery of such costs from our customers or the success of other mitigating actions.

The vast majority of products in both our Seating and E-Systems businesses are USMCA-qualifying and therefore are currently exempt from the Mexico/Canada Tariff. Further, the vast majority of products in our Seating business are not currently subject to the Automobile Parts Tariff. However, the Automobile Parts Tariff does apply to the wire harnesses we assemble in our E-Systems business and import into the United States. While the wire harnesses we import from Mexico are USMCA-qualifying and currently exempt from the Automobile Parts Tariff, the wire harnesses we import from Honduras are subject to such tariff, which materially impacts cost of sales in our E-Systems business. Moreover, if the exemption under the Automobile Parts Tariff is modified to include only the U.S. content of USMCA-qualifying goods, this tariff also could materially impact cost of sales in our E-Systems business with respect to wire harnesses we import from Mexico. Although a less substantial impact than the Automobile Parts Tariff, the Mexico/Canada, Steel/Aluminum, China, Reciprocal and Copper Tariffs could impact our cost of sales relating to certain non-USMCA-qualifying goods imported from Mexico, small steel and aluminum parts imported globally, goods imported from China, goods subject to Reciprocal Tariffs and copper imports subject to the Copper Tariff. In addition to these impacts on our cost of sales, the aforementioned tariffs, separately or in the aggregate, could materially impact our net sales and other aspects of our financial performance, if they negatively impact vehicle production volumes or result in disruptions in the supply chain, including disruptions with respect to our customers or suppliers.

In addition to tariffs, the U.S. and foreign governments have implemented sanctions, export controls and other restrictions on trade that impact industries around the world, including the automotive industry. For example, China recently implemented restrictions on the export of rare earth materials originating in China (some of which have since been paused for one year), as well as restrictions on the export of certain semiconductors and other electronic components that are used by us and throughout the automotive industry. We are monitoring the potential disruption to automotive industry supply chains as a result of these actions.

The actual impacts of these tariffs and other trade restrictions on our business, financial condition and results of operations are subject to a number of factors that are not yet known or are subject to change, including the effect such tariffs and restrictions may have on consumer demand and global automotive production volumes, the effective dates and duration of such tariffs and restrictions, future changes in the amounts and scope of tariffs, the potential withdrawal of such tariffs and restrictions in whole or in part, the scope and effective date of any exemptions to such tariffs or restrictions, any modification to existing exemptions to the tariffs or restrictions, countermeasures that the target countries may take in response to such tariffs and restrictions, and the impact such tariffs and restrictions may have on our customers and our supply chain. We have entered into contractual agreements with our customers to recover substantially all tariff costs incurred to date and are implementing certain actions, and considering others, to counter the potential impact of such tariffs on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including, without limitation, participating in efforts to inform the U.S. and certain foreign administrations and legislatures of the impact of current trade and tariff policies on the automotive industry and evaluating our production footprint and

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i9bd43545c3b3458b9c6781c269d66909_7)</u>

alternatives in our supply chain. However, we can provide no assurance that we will continue to be successful in recovering such costs from our customers or that any of these mitigating actions will be successful or will not disrupt and deteriorate our business, operations and financial performance. We also can provide no assurance that, despite the success of our mitigation efforts, our customers' production will not be adversely impacted by these government actions, or that any decreases in our customers' production as a result of such actions will not in turn adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

For risks related to tariffs and other trade restrictions, see Part II — Item 1A, "Risk Factors," included in this Report and Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Although industry production returned to pre-pandemic levels in 2023, industry production in 2024 remained approximately 5% below 2017 peak levels, and 2024 industry production levels in North America and Europe, our two largest markets, remained approximately 9% and 23%, respectively, below prior peak levels. In the third quarter of 2025, industry production was impacted by production disruptions at Jaguar Land Rover due to a cybersecurity incident (the "JLR production disruption"). Industry production in 2025 is expected to increase 2% as compared to 2024 (based on October 2025 S&P Global Mobility projections). On a Lear sales-weighted basis<sup>(1)</sup>, industry production in 2025 is expected to be flat as compared to 2024. Since 2020, the global economy, as well as the automotive industry, have been influenced directly and indirectly by macroeconomic events resulting in unfavorable conditions, including increases in tariffs, shortages of semiconductor chips and other components, elevated inflation levels on commodities and labor, higher interest rates, and labor and energy shortages in certain markets. Certain of these factors, among others, continue to impact consumer demand. Our strategy to mitigate these impacts encompasses our comprehensive cost management process, including cost technology optimization, actions to further align our manufacturing capacity to the current industry production environment and investments in automation and other advanced manufacturing technologies, as well as commercial recovery mechanisms. This will allow us to enhance operational efficiencies, improve the utilization of existing facilities and equipment to reduce future expenditures, and streamline administrative functions.

<sup>(1)</sup> The production change on a Lear sales-weighted basis is calculated using Lear's prior year regional sales mix. Management believes this provides a more meaningful comparison of our global revenue growth relative to global vehicle production.

For a description of related risks, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Global automotive industry production volumes in the first nine months of 2025, as compared to the first nine months of 2024, are shown below (in thousands of units):

<sup>(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>Production data for 2024 has been updated from our third quarter 2024 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect actual production levels

Automotive sales and production can also be affected by the age of the vehicle fleet and related scrappage rates, labor relations issues, labor shortages, fuel prices, regulatory requirements, government initiatives and incentives, trade agreements, tariffs and other non-tariff trade barriers (including recent U.S. tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed on Mexico, Canada and China, as well as other countries and any retaliatory actions taken by such countries), the availability and cost of credit, the availability and cost of raw materials and critical components, and logistics issues, as well as vehicle affordability and consumer preferences regarding vehicle powertrains (including preferences regarding hybrid and electric vehicles), size, configuration and features, among other factors. The impact of potential tariffs on our business and financial condition, if any, is subject to a number of factors that are not yet known, including the effective date and duration of such tariffs, the scope and nature of any tariffs, the amount of any tariffs, any countermeasures that the target countries may take in response to such tariffs. In light of these uncertainties, we can provide no assurance that any mitigating actions that may become available to us, such as our ability to pass along some or all of the costs of any tariffs to some or all of our customers, will continue to be successful. Our sales and production may be further affected by new entrants to the industry, including Chinese domestic automakers and non-traditional

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i9bd43545c3b3458b9c6781c269d66909_7)</u>

automakers in certain regions, and the restructuring actions, including facility closures, of our customers and suppliers. Our operating results are also significantly impacted by the overall commercial success of the vehicle platforms for which we supply particular products, as well as the profitability of the products that we supply for these platforms, which is determined, in part, by the level of vertical integration. The loss of business with respect to any vehicle model for which we are a significant supplier, or a decrease in the production levels of any such models, could adversely affect our operating results. In addition, larger cars and light trucks, as well as vehicle platforms that offer more features and functionality, such as luxury, sport utility and crossover vehicles, typically have more content and, therefore, tend to have a more significant impact on our operating results.

Our percentage of consolidated net sales by region in the first nine months of 2025 and 2024 is shown below:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Nine Months Ended** | **Nine Months Ended** |

| Asia | 19% | 18% |
| South America | 4% | 4% |
| Total | 100% | 100% |

---

Our ability to reduce the risks inherent in certain concentrations of our business, and thereby maintain our financial performance in the future, will depend, in part, on our ability to continue to diversify our sales on a customer, product, platform and geographic basis to better reflect the market overall.

The automotive industry, and our business, continue to be shaped by the broad trend of electrification. The adoption of electrified vehicles has been slower than anticipated in certain regions. Demand for, and regulatory developments related to, improved energy efficiency and sustainability (e.g., government mandates related to fuel economy and carbon emissions) could also have a significant impact on this trend.

Our material cost as a percentage of net sales was 63.5% in the first nine months of 2025, as compared to 64.2% in the first nine months of 2024. Raw material, energy, commodity and product component costs can be volatile, reflecting, among other things, changes in supply and demand, logistics issues, global trade and tariff policies (including recent U.S. tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed on Mexico, Canada and China, as well as other countries and any retaliatory actions taken by such countries), and geopolitical issues. Our primary commodity cost exposures relate to steel, copper and leather. We have developed and implemented strategies to mitigate the impact of increases in such costs through the selective in-sourcing of components, the continued consolidation of our supply base, longer-term purchase commitments, commercial recovery mechanisms and the selective expansion of low-cost country sourcing and engineering, as well as value engineering and product benchmarking. Further, our exposure to changes in steel prices is primarily indirect, through purchased components, and a significant portion of our copper, leather and direct steel purchases are subject to price index agreements with our customers and suppliers. Certain of these strategies also may limit our opportunities in a declining price environment. In the current environment of elevated raw material, energy, commodity and product component costs, these strategies, together with commercial negotiations with our customers and suppliers, have offset a significant portion of the adverse impact. In addition, the availability of raw materials, energy, commodities and product components fluctuates from time to time due to factors outside of our control. If these costs increase or availability is restricted, it could have an adverse impact on our operating results in the foreseeable future. See "— Forward-Looking Statements" below and Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Our customers typically require us to reduce our prices over the life of a vehicle model and, at the same time, assume significant responsibility for the design, development and engineering of our products. Our financial performance is largely dependent on our ability to offset these price reductions with product cost reductions through product design enhancements, supply chain management, manufacturing efficiencies and restructuring actions. We also seek to enhance our financial performance by investing in product development, design capabilities and new product initiatives that respond to and anticipate the needs of our customers and consumers. We continually evaluate operational and strategic alternatives to improve our business structure and align our business with the changing needs of our customers and major industry trends affecting our business.

**Financial Measures**

In evaluating our financial condition and operating performance, we focus primarily on earnings, operating margins, cash flows and return on invested capital. Our strategy includes expanding our business with new and existing customers globally through new products.

Our success in generating cash flow will depend, in part, on our ability to manage working capital effectively. Working capital can be significantly impacted by the timing of cash flows from sales, purchases, and tariffs costs and recoveries. Historically, we generally have been successful in aligning our supplier payment terms with our customer payment terms. However, our ability to continue to do so may be impacted by adverse automotive industry conditions, including inconsistent production schedules due to supply shortages and lower consumer demand, changes to our customers' payment terms and the financial condition of our suppliers. In addition, our cash flow is impacted by our ability to manage our inventory and capital spending effectively. We utilize return on invested capital as a measure of the efficiency with which our assets generate earnings. Improvements in our return on invested capital will depend on our ability to maintain an appropriate asset base for our business and to increase productivity and operating efficiency.

**Acquisition**

In February 2025, we completed the acquisition of StoneShield Engineering ("StoneShield"), a privately held system integrator based in Castelo Branco, Portugal. StoneShield specializes in the design and development of automation technology for the wire harness industry with expertise in robotics, automated taping applications and high voltage harness assembly. Our acquisition of StoneShield will accelerate the automation of our production processes in our E-Systems business, further improving our efficiency and operational excellence.

**Operational Restructuring**

In the first nine months of 2025, we incurred pretax restructuring costs of $156 million and related manufacturing inefficiency charges of approximately $3 million, as compared to pretax restructuring costs of $108 million and related manufacturing inefficiency charges of approximately $4 million in the first nine months of 2024. None of the individual restructuring actions initiated in the first nine months of 2025 were material. Further, there have been no changes in previously initiated restructuring actions that have resulted (or will result) in a material change to our restructuring costs.

Our restructuring actions include plant closures and workforce reductions and are initiated to maintain our competitive footprint or are in response to customer initiatives or changes in global and regional automotive markets. Our restructuring actions are designed to maintain or improve our operating results and profitability throughout the automotive industry cycles. Restructuring actions are generally funded within twelve months of initiation and are funded by cash flows from operating activities and existing cash balances. We expect to incur approximately $31 million of additional restructuring costs related to activities initiated as of September 27, 2025, all of which are expected to be incurred in the next twelve months. We plan to implement additional restructuring actions in order to align our manufacturing capacity and other costs with prevailing regional automotive production levels. Such future restructuring actions are dependent on market conditions, customer actions and other factors.

For further information, see Note 2, "Restructuring," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

**Financial Transaction**

In June 2025, we amended our unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility (the "Term Loan") to extend the maturity date to September 30, 2027, and reduce the pricing across the grid. As of September 27, 2025, we had $100 million outstanding under the Term Loan.

In July 2025, we amended and restated our $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement ("the Credit Agreement") to extend the maturity date to July 24, 2030.

**Common Stock Share Repurchase Program and Quarterly Cash Dividends** 

We may implement share repurchases through a variety of methods, including, but not limited to, open market purchases, accelerated stock repurchase programs and structured repurchase transactions. The extent to which we may repurchase our outstanding common stock and the timing of such repurchases will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors. See "— Forward-Looking Statements" below.

Since the first quarter of 2011, our Board of Directors (the "Board") has authorized $6.7 billion in share repurchases under our common stock share repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program"). As of September 27, 2025, we have repurchased, in aggregate, $5.7 billion of our outstanding common stock, at an average price of $94.68 per share, excluding commissions and

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i9bd43545c3b3458b9c6781c269d66909_7)</u>

related fees, and have a remaining repurchase authorization of $0.9 billion, which expires on December 31, 2026. In the first nine months of 2025, we repurchased $150 million of our outstanding common stock.

Our Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.77 per share of common stock in the first, second and third quarters of 2025.

For further information related to our common stock share repurchase program and our quarterly cash dividends, see "— Liquidity and Capital Resources — Capitalization" below and Note 14, "Comprehensive Income and Equity," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

**Other Matters**

In the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025, we recognized net tax benefits of $2 million and $26 million, respectively, related to the release of tax reserves at foreign subsidiaries, restructuring charges and various other items.

In the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024, we recognized net tax benefits of $5 million and $28 million, respectively, related to the release of tax reserves and audit settlements at foreign subsidiaries, restructuring charges and various other items.

Our results for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024, reflect the following items (in millions):

**Three Months Ended September 27, 2025 vs. Three Months Ended September 28, 2024**

Net sales in the third quarter of 2025 were $5.7 billion, as compared to $5.6 billion in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $95 million or 2%. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations increased net sales by $101 million. Higher production volumes on Lear platforms in North America and new business in Asia and South America also increased net sales by $99 million and $93 million, respectively. These increases were offset by lower production volumes on Lear platforms in Europe/Africa and Asia (including the JLR production disruption) and the winddown and divestiture of certain businesses, which negatively impacted net sales by $234 million and $70 million, respectively. Commercial recoveries were partially offset by the impact of selling price reductions.

Cost of sales was $5.3 billion in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to $5.2 billion in the third quarter of 2024. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations and new business increased cost of sales. These increases were partially offset by lower production volumes on Lear platforms (including the JLR production disruption) and the winddown and divestiture of certain businesses, which reduced cost of sales.

Gross profit and gross margin were $364 million and 6.4% of net sales, respectively, in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to $405 million and 7.3% of net sales, respectively, in the third quarter of 2024. Lower production volumes on Lear platforms (including the JLR production disruption), net of new business, reduced gross profit by $49 million. The impact of favorable operating performance, including the benefit of restructuring actions, was offset by selling price reductions, higher restructuring costs, and the winddown and divestiture of certain businesses. These factors had a corresponding impact on gross margin.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, including engineering and development expenses, were $166 million in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to $174 million in the third quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting lower program development costs. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 2.9% in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to 3.1% in the third quarter of 2024.

Amortization of intangible assets was $5 million in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to $11 million in the third quarter of 2024, as certain of our intangible assets became fully amortized in 2024.

Interest expense, net was $25 million in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to $27 million in the third quarter of 2024.

Other expense, net, which includes non-income related taxes, foreign exchange gains and losses, gains and losses related to certain derivative instruments and hedging activities, gains and losses on certain disposals of assets, the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost and other miscellaneous income and expense, was $9 million in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to $3 million in the third quarter of 2024. In the third quarter of 2025 and 2024, we recognized foreign exchange losses of $9 million and $6 million, respectively, including losses of $4 million in each quarter related to the hyper-inflationary environment and significant currency devaluation in Argentina.

In the third quarter of 2025, the provision for income taxes was $45 million, representing an effective tax rate of 28.3% on pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates of $159 million. In the third quarter of 2024, the provision for income taxes was $47 million, representing an effective tax rate of 24.7% on pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates of $191 million, for the reasons described below. For further information, see Note 12, "Income Taxes," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

In the third quarters of 2025 and 2024, the provision for income taxes was primarily impacted by the level and mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. In the third quarter of 2025 and 2024, we recognized net tax benefits of $2 million and $5 million, respectively, related to restructuring charges and various other items.

Excluding these items, the effective tax rate for the third quarters of 2025 and 2024 approximated the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21%, adjusted for income taxes on foreign earnings, losses and remittances, valuation allowances, tax credits, income tax incentives and other permanent items.

Equity in net income of affiliates was $12 million in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to $13 million in the third quarter of 2024.

Net income attributable to Lear was $108 million, or $2.02 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to $136 million, or $2.41 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2024. Net income and diluted net income per share decreased for the reasons described above.

*Reportable Operating Segments*

We have two reportable operating segments: Seating and E-Systems. For a description of our reportable operating segments, see "Executive Overview" above.

The financial information presented below is for our two reportable operating segments and our other category for the periods presented. The other category includes unallocated costs related to corporate headquarters, regional headquarters and the elimination of intercompany activities, none of which meets the requirements for being classified as an operating segment. Corporate and regional headquarters costs include various support functions, such as information technology, advanced research and development, corporate finance, legal, executive administration and human resources. Financial measures regarding each segment's pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates, interest expense, net and other expense, net ("segment earnings") and segment earnings divided by net sales ("margin") are not measures of performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Segment earnings and the related margin are used by management to evaluate the performance of our reportable operating segments. Segment earnings should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income attributable to Lear, net cash provided by operating activities or other income statement or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as measures of profitability or liquidity. In addition, segment earnings, as we determine it, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

For a reconciliation of consolidated segment earnings to consolidated income before provision for income taxes and equity in net income of affiliates, see Note 16, "Segment Reporting," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

Our primary liquidity needs are to fund general business requirements, including working capital requirements, capital expenditures, operational restructuring actions and debt service requirements. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities, borrowings under available credit facilities and our existing cash balance.

**Cash Provided by Subsidiaries**

A substantial portion of our operating income is generated by our subsidiaries. As a result, we are dependent on the earnings and cash flows of and the combination of dividends, royalties, intercompany loan repayments and other distributions and advances from our subsidiaries to provide the funds necessary to meet our obligations.

As of September 27, 2025 and December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents of $593 million and $705 million, respectively, were held in foreign subsidiaries and can be repatriated, primarily through the repayment of intercompany loans and the payment of dividends. There are no restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to Lear that would have a material impact on Lear.

For further information related to potential dividends from our non-U.S. subsidiaries, see Note 8, "Income Taxes," to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**Adequacy of Liquidity Sources**

As of September 27, 2025, we had $1.0 billion of cash and cash equivalents on hand and $2.0 billion in available borrowing capacity under our Credit Agreement. Together with cash provided by operating activities, we believe that this will enable us to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future and to satisfy ordinary course business obligations. In addition, we expect to continue to pay quarterly cash dividends and repurchase shares of our common stock pursuant to our authorized Repurchase Program, although such actions are at the discretion of our Board and will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors that our Board may consider at its discretion.

Our future financial results and our ability to continue to meet our liquidity needs are subject to, and will be affected by, cash flows from operations, as well as restructuring activities, automotive industry conditions, the financial condition of our customers and suppliers, supply chain disruptions and other related factors. Additionally, an economic downturn or further reduction in production levels could negatively impact our financial condition.

For further discussion of the risks and uncertainties affecting our cash flows from operations and our overall liquidity, see "— Executive Overview" above, "— Forward-Looking Statements" below and Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

*Operating Activities*

Net cash provided by operating activities was $613 million in the first nine months of 2025, as compared to $439 million in the first nine months of 2024. The increase in operating cash flows reflects a decrease in working capital cash usage in the first nine months of 2025, as compared to the first nine months of 2024, partially offset by lower earnings in the first nine months of 2025, as compared to the first nine months of 2024.

*Investing Activities*

Net cash used in investing activities was $326 million in the first nine months of 2025, as compared to $368 million in the first nine months of 2024. In the first nine months of 2025, we received proceeds of $37 million related to the sale of a non-core business in the Company's Seating segment. Capital spending was $367 million in the first nine months of 2025 and 2024. Capital spending is estimated to be $560 million in 2025.

*Financing Activities*

Net cash used in financing activities was $349 million in the first nine months of 2025, as compared to $506 million in the first nine months of 2024. In the first nine months of 2025, we paid $150 million for repurchases of our common stock, $125 million in dividends to Lear shareholders and $84 million in dividends to noncontrolling interest holders. In the first nine months of 2024, we paid $311 million for repurchases of our common stock, $132 million in dividends to Lear shareholders and $70 million in dividends to noncontrolling interest holders.

**Capitalization**

*Short-Term Borrowings*

We utilize uncommitted lines of credit as needed for our short-term working capital fluctuations. As of September 27, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had lines of credit from banks totaling $380 million and $343 million, respectively. As of September 27, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had short-term debt balances outstanding related to draws on our lines of credit of $27 million.

*Term Loan*

In June 2025, we amended our Term Loan to extend the maturity date to September 30, 2027, and reduce the pricing across the grid. In connection with this transaction, we recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt and incurred related issuance costs totaling $1 million. As of September 27, 2025, we had $100 million outstanding under our Term Loan.

*Senior Notes and Credit Agreement*

In July 2025, we amended and restated our $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement ("the Credit Agreement") to extend the maturity date to July 24, 2030. In connection with this transaction, we recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of less than $1 million and incurred related issuance costs of approximately $3 million.

For further information related to our senior notes and Credit Agreement, see Note 7, "Debt," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report and Note 6, "Debt," to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

*Common Stock Share Repurchase Program and Quarterly Cash Dividends*

For information related to our common stock share repurchase program and dividends, see "— Executive Overview — Share Repurchase Program and Quarterly Cash Dividends" above, Note 14, "Comprehensive Income and Equity," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report and Note 11, "Capital Stock, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and Equity," to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**Commodity Prices**

Raw material, energy and commodity costs can be volatile, reflecting, among other things, changes in supply and demand, logistics issues, global trade and tariff policies (including recent U.S. tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed on Mexico, Canada and China, as well as other countries and any retaliatory actions taken by such countries), and geopolitical issues. We have commodity price risk with respect to purchases of certain raw materials, including steel, copper, diesel fuel, chemicals, resins and leather. Our primary commodity cost exposures relate to steel, copper and leather. We have developed and implemented strategies to mitigate the impact of increases in such costs through the selective in-sourcing of components, the continued consolidation of our supply base, longer-term purchase commitments, commercial recovery mechanisms and the selective expansion of low-cost country sourcing and engineering, as well as value engineering and product benchmarking. Further, the majority of the steel used in our products is comprised of fabricated components that are integrated into a seat system, such as seat frames, recliner mechanisms, seat tracks and other mechanical components. Therefore, our exposure to changes in steel prices is primarily indirect, through purchased components. Additionally, approximately 87% of our copper purchases and a significant portion of our leather and direct steel purchases are subject to price index agreements with our customers and suppliers. These agreements have historically mitigated this risk, but no assurance can be provided that the agreements will continue to do so in the future. Certain of these strategies also may limit our opportunities in a declining commodity price environment. In the current environment of elevated raw material, energy and commodity costs, these strategies, together with commercial negotiations with our customers and suppliers, have offset a significant portion of the adverse impact. If these costs increase, it could have an adverse impact on our operating results in the foreseeable future.

For further information related to the financial instruments described above, see Note 17, "Financial Instruments," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

**OTHER MATTERS**

**Legal and Environmental Matters**

We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings and claims, including, without limitation, commercial and contractual disputes, product liability claims, and environmental and other matters. As of September 27, 2025, we had recorded reserves for pending legal disputes, including commercial and contractual disputes, product liability claims and other legal matters of $14 million. In addition, as of September 27, 2025, we had recorded reserves for warranty and recall matters of $34 million and environmental matters of $5 million. We carry insurance for certain legal matters, including product liability claims, but such coverage may be limited. We do not maintain insurance for warranty and recall matters. Although these reserves were determined in accordance with GAAP, the ultimate outcomes of these matters are inherently uncertain, and actual results may differ significantly from current estimates. For a description of risks related to various legal proceedings and claims, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. For a more complete description of our outstanding material legal proceedings, see Note 15, "Legal and Other Contingencies," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

Certain of our accounting policies require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on our historical experience, the terms of existing contracts, our evaluation of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and suppliers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. However, these estimates and assumptions are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Accordingly, actual results in these areas may differ significantly from our estimates.

For a discussion of our significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates, see Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Other Matters — Critical Accounting Estimates," and Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no significant changes in our significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates during the first nine months of 2025.

**Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements**

For information on the impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements, see Note 18, "Accounting Pronouncements," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

**ITEM 3 — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

**MARKET RISK SENSITIVITY**

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risks associated with fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. We manage a portion of these risks through the use of derivative financial instruments in accordance with our policies. We enter into all hedging transactions for periods consistent with the underlying exposures. We do not enter into derivative instruments for trading purposes.

**Foreign Exchange**

Operating results may be impacted by our buying, selling and financing in currencies other than the functional currency of our operating companies ("transactional exposure"). We may mitigate a portion of this risk by entering into forward foreign exchange, futures and option contracts. The foreign exchange contracts are executed with banks that we believe are creditworthy. Gains and losses related to foreign exchange contracts are deferred where appropriate and included in the measurement of the foreign currency transaction subject to the hedge. Gains and losses incurred related to foreign exchange contracts are generally offset by the direct effects of currency movements on the underlying transactions.

A summary of the notional amount and estimated aggregate fair value of our outstanding foreign exchange contracts is shown below (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **September 27,<br>2025** | **December 31,<br>2024** |
| Notional amount (contract maturities < 36 months) | $2868 | $3087 |
| Fair value | 156 | (154) |

---

Currently, our most significant foreign currency transactional exposures relate to the Mexican peso, various European currencies, the Moroccan dirham, the Honduran lempira and the Chinese renminbi.

A sensitivity analysis of our net transactional exposure is shown below (in millions):

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Euro | 10% | 82 | 68 |

<sup>(2)</sup> <sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>Relative to all other currencies to which it is exposed for a twelve-month period

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i9bd43545c3b3458b9c6781c269d66909_7)</u>

There are certain shortcomings inherent in the sensitivity analyses above. The analyses assume that all currencies would uniformly strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar or Euro. In reality, some currencies may strengthen while others may weaken, causing the earnings impact to increase or decrease depending on the currency and the direction of the rate movement.

In addition to the transactional exposure described above, our operating results are impacted by the translation of our foreign operating income into U.S. dollars ("translational exposure"). In 2024, net sales outside of the United States accounted for 78% of our consolidated net sales, although certain non-U.S. sales are U.S. dollar denominated. We do not enter into foreign exchange contracts to mitigate our translational exposure.

**Interest Rates**

Our variable rate obligations are sensitive to changes in interest rates. As of September 27, 2025, we had $100 million outstanding under our Term Loan. Advances under the Term Loan generally bear interest based on the Daily or Term SOFR (as defined in the Term Loan agreement) plus a margin, determined in accordance with a pricing grid, that ranges from 0.875% to 1.375%. As of September 27, 2025, the interest rate was 5.223%.

A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the interest rate on our Term Loan would increase annual interest expense and related cash interest payments by approximately $1 million.

**ITEM 4 — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

(a)Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer along with the Company's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Based on the evaluation described above, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer along with the Company's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the desired control objectives were achieved as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

(b)Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 27, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II — OTHER INFORMATION**

**ITEM 1 — LEGAL PROCEEDINGS**

We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings and claims, including, without limitation, commercial or contractual disputes, product liability claims, and environmental and other matters. For a description of risks related to various legal proceedings and claims, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. For a description of our outstanding material legal proceedings, see Note 15, "Legal and Other Contingencies," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

**ITEM 1A — RISK FACTORS**

There have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, except for the update of the risk factor set forth below:

• ***International trade policies, such as tariffs and sanctions, could adversely affect our financial performance.***

Due to the interconnectedness of the global economy, policy changes in one area of the world can have an immediate and material adverse impact on markets around the world. Changes in international trade policies, including: (i) changes to existing trade agreements; (ii) greater restrictions on free trade generally; and (iii) significant increases in customs duties and tariffs imposed by any country, including those already imposed by the United States and retaliatory and other actions by other countries, can adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

Since his inauguration in January 2025, U.S. President Donald J. Trump has announced various tariffs that impact industries around the world, including the automotive industry. As of the date of this Report, the tariffs announced or implemented by the current U.S. administration that could adversely impact our business include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 25% tariff on imports of automobiles and certain automobile parts into the United States from all countries (with respect to automotive parts, the "Automobile Parts Tariff"). Automobile parts that meet specific rules of origin under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement ("USMCA" and "USMCA-qualifying") are currently exempt from the Automobile Parts Tariff; however, this exemption could be modified in the future to include only the U.S. content of USMCA-qualifying automobile parts. The U.S. administration has been negotiating agreements with several countries. It has reached agreements with the United Kingdom, the European Union, Japan and South Korea that include reductions in the Automobile Parts Tariff to 10% (inclusive of existing duties) for the United Kingdom and 15% (inclusive of existing duties) for the European Union, Japan and South Korea.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 50% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports into the United States from all countries (the "Steel/Aluminum Tariff"). The Steel/Aluminum Tariff does not apply to goods subject to the Automobile Parts Tariff. This tariff was increased from 25% to 50%, except for imports from the United Kingdom (which remained at 25%), effective June 4, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 25% tariff on all imports into the United States from Mexico and Canada except for USMCA-qualifying goods (the "Mexico/Canada Tariff"). The Mexico/Canada Tariff does not apply to goods subject to the Automobile Parts Tariff or the Steel/Aluminum Tariff. On July 10, 2025, President Trump announced a 35% tariff on all imports into the United States from Canada effective August 1, 2025, and on July 12, 2025, announced a 30% tariff on all imports into the United States from Mexico effective August 1, 2025, implementation of which was suspended on July 31, 2025. Although the exception for USMCA-qualifying goods is expected to remain in place, this has not yet been confirmed by the current U.S. administration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Incremental 20% tariff on all imports into the United States from China (the "China Tariff"). On October 30, 2025, President Trump announced a 10% reduction in the China Tariff.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 10% tariff on all imports into the United States from all countries that are not subject to the Automobile Parts, Mexico/Canada or Steel/Aluminum Tariffs. Certain country-specific tariffs replaced the 10% tariffs effective August 7, 2025 (the "Reciprocal Tariffs"). The China Reciprocal Tariff of 125% was reduced to 10% effective May 14, 2025 through November 10, 2025, and is additive to the China Tariff discussed above. In addition,

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i9bd43545c3b3458b9c6781c269d66909_7)</u>

various country-specific proposals and agreements have been or are being negotiated directly with the affected countries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 50% tariff on copper imports into the United States effective August 1, 2025 (the "Copper Tariff"). The scope of this tariff includes all imports of semi-finished copper and intensive copper derivative products. The tariff does not apply to raw forms of copper, anode or cathode material, or copper scrap.

In addition to tariffs, the U.S. and foreign governments have implemented sanctions, export controls and other restrictions on trade that impact industries around the world, including the automotive industry.

The actual impacts of these tariffs and other trade restrictions on our business, financial condition and results of operations are subject to a number of factors that are not yet known or are subject to change, including the effect such tariffs and restrictions may have on consumer demand and global automotive production volumes, the effective dates and duration of such tariffs and restrictions, future changes in the amounts and scope of tariffs, the potential withdrawal of such tariffs and restrictions in whole or in part, the scope and effective date of any exemptions to such tariffs or restrictions, any modification to existing exemptions to the tariffs or restrictions, countermeasures that the target countries may take in response to such tariffs and restrictions, and the impact such tariffs and restrictions may have on our customers and our supply chain. We have entered into contractual agreements with our customers to recover substantially all tariff costs incurred to date and are implementing certain actions, and considering others, to counter the potential impact of such tariffs on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including, without limitation, participating in efforts to inform the U.S. and certain foreign administrations and legislatures of the impact of current trade and tariff policies on the automotive industry and evaluating our production footprint and alternatives in our supply chain. However, we can provide no assurance that we will continue to be successful in recovering such costs from our customers or that any of these mitigating actions will be successful or will not disrupt and deteriorate our business, operations and financial performance. We also can provide no assurance that, despite the success of our mitigation efforts, our customers' production will not be adversely impacted by these government actions, or that any decreases in our customers' production as a result of such actions will not in turn adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition to potential increases in customs duties and tariffs in the United States and other countries, the USMCA is subject to renewal in 2026. There can be no assurance that the USMCA will be renewed or, if renewed, any newly negotiated terms in the USMCA will not adversely affect our business. Also, China presents unique risks to U.S. automotive manufacturers due to the strain in U.S.-China relations and the level of integration with key components in our global supply chain. It remains unclear what additional actions the current U.S. administration may take with respect to trade issues involving China and other countries.

Further, the U.S. and other governments could impose additional sanctions or export controls or restrictions that could restrict us from doing business directly or indirectly in or with certain countries or parties, which could include affiliates (e.g., China has imposed tariffs and taken other retaliatory actions in recent months). The current trade environment could impact the status of other trade agreements between the United States and countries other than Canada and Mexico, including, without limitation, the Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement. Any of the above factors could impact our supply chain, as well as our operations, and adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

**Article I**

*Establishment and Purpose*

Lear Corporation (the "Company") hereby amends and restates the Lear Corporation Salaried Retirement Restoration Program (the "Program"), effective December 31, 2024 (the "Effective Date"). This amendment and restatement applies to any Compensation Deferral Agreement applicable to Compensation earned and deferred on or after January 1, 2025.

The purpose of the Program is to attract and retain key employees of the Employer by providing them with an opportunity to defer receipt of a portion of their annual base salary ("Salary") and/or annual cash incentive compensation that may be earned pursuant to the Lear Corporation Annual Incentive Plan or any successor plan ("Bonus"). The Program is not intended to meet the qualification requirements of Code Section 401(a), but is intended to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A, and shall be operated and interpreted consistent with that intent.

The Program constitutes an unsecured promise by a Participating Employer to pay benefits in the future. Participants in the Program shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Participating Employer. Each Participating Employer shall be solely responsible for payment of the benefits attributable to services performed for it. The Program is unfunded for Federal tax purposes and is intended to be an unfunded arrangement for Eligible Employees who are part of a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the Employer within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA. Any amounts set aside to defray the liabilities assumed by the Participating Employer will remain the general assets of the Participating Employer and shall remain subject to the claims of the Participating Employer's creditors until such amounts are distributed to the Participants.

 <br> (a) submission of a Compensation Deferral Agreement in accordance with Article IV and the subsequent crediting of Deferrals to his or her Account; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) upon the initial crediting of Company Contributions to his or her Account.

To receive Company Contributions under Section 5.2, an otherwise Eligible Employee must have Compensation that meets or exceeds the limit established by the Internal Revenue Service under Code Section 401(a)(17) in the year in which the Company Contribution is made.

**Article IV**

*Deferrals*

4.1 <u>Deferral Elections, Generally.</u>

(a) A Participant may make an initial election to defer Compensation by submitting a Compensation Deferral Agreement during the enrollment periods established by the Committee and in the manner specified by the Committee, but in any event, in accordance with Section 4.2. Unless an earlier date is specified in the Compensation Deferral Agreement, deferral elections with respect to a Compensation source (i.e., Salary or Bonus) become irrevocable on the latest date applicable to such Compensation source under Section 4.2.

(b) A Compensation Deferral Agreement that is not timely filed with respect to the service period in which an item of Compensation is earned, or that is submitted by a Participant who Separates from Service prior to the latest date such agreement would become irrevocable under Code Section 409A, shall be considered null and void and shall not take effect with respect to such item of Compensation. Notwithstanding anything in this Program or any Compensation Deferral Agreement to the contrary, the Committee may modify or revoke any Compensation Deferral Agreement prior to the date the election becomes irrevocable under the rules of Section 4.2.

(c) The Committee may permit different deferral amounts for each component of Compensation and may establish a minimum or maximum deferral amount for each such component. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee in the Compensation Deferral Agreement, a Participant may defer up to seventy-five percent (75%) of his or her Salary and up to seventy-five percent (75%) of his or her Bonus earned during a Plan Year.

------

(d) Deferrals of Compensation shall be calculated with respect to the gross cash Compensation payable to the Participant prior to any deductions or withholdings, but shall be reduced by the Committee as necessary so as not to exceed one-hundred percent (100%) of the Compensation of the Participant remaining after deduction of all required income and employment taxes, required employee benefit deductions, and other deductions required by law. Changes to payroll withholdings that affect the amount of Compensation being deferred to the Program shall be allowed only to the extent permissible under Code Section 409A.

(e) The Participant shall specify on his or her Compensation Deferral Agreement the amount of Deferrals and whether to allocate Deferrals to the Retirement Account or to one (1) or more Flex Accounts. If no designation is made, Deferrals shall be allocated to the Retirement Account.

4.2 <u>Timing Requirements for Compensation Deferral Agreements.</u>

(a) *Initial Eligibility.* The Committee may permit an Employee who meets the criteria of an Eligible Employee on his or her date of hire (other than the entry date requirement under Section 3.1) to defer Compensation upon initial eligibility. The Compensation Deferral Agreement must be filed within thirty (30) days of attaining Eligible Employee status and becomes irrevocable not later than the thirtieth (30<sup>th</sup>) day.

A Compensation Deferral Agreement filed under this paragraph applies to Compensation earned after the date that the Compensation Deferral Agreement becomes irrevocable.

(a) *Prior Year Election.* Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.2, the Committee may permit an Eligible Employee to defer Compensation by filing a Compensation Deferral Agreement no later than December 31 of the year prior to the year in which the Compensation to be deferred is earned. A Compensation Deferral Agreement filed under this paragraph shall become irrevocable with respect to such Compensation not later than the December 31 filing deadline.

(b) *Short-Term Deferrals.* The Committee may permit Compensation that meets the definition of a "short-term deferral" described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) to be deferred in accordance with the rules of Section 6.9, applied as if the date the Substantial Risk of Forfeiture lapses is the date payments were originally scheduled to commence. A Compensation Deferral Agreement submitted in accordance with this paragraph becomes irrevocable not later than the latest date it could be submitted under Section 6.9.

------

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 4.3 | <u>Allocation of Deferrals.</u> A Compensation Deferral Agreement may allocate Deferrals to the Retirement Account or to one (1) or more Flex Accounts. The Committee may, in its discretion, establish in a written communication during enrollment a minimum deferral period for the establishment of a Specified Date Account (for example, the third Plan Year following the year Compensation is first allocated to such Accounts.). In the event a Participant's Compensation Deferral Agreement allocates Compensation to a Specified Date Account that does not satisfy the minimum deferral period established by the Committee (if any), the Compensation Deferral Agreement shall be deemed to establish a new Specified Date Account commencing payment in the earliest Plan Year that satisfies the minimum deferral requirement. If such Account cannot be established (for example, if the Participant has exhausted his or her allotment of Flex Accounts) the Committee will allocate such Deferrals to the Specified Date Account with a commencement date next following the minimum deferral period and if no such Account is available, to the Retirement Account. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 4.4 | <u>Deductions from Pay.</u> The Committee has the authority to determine the payroll practices under which any component of Compensation subject to a Compensation Deferral Agreement will be deducted from a Participant's Compensation. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 4.5 | <u>Vesting.</u> Participant Deferrals of Compensation shall be one-hundred percent (100%) vested at all times. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 4.6 | <u>Cancellation of Deferrals.</u> The Committee may cancel a Participant's Deferrals: (i) for the balance of the Plan Year in which an Unforeseeable Emergency occurs, (ii) if the Participant receives a hardship distribution under the Savings Program, through the end of the Plan Year containing the last day on which deferrals must be suspended in accordance with regulations issued under Code Section 401(k), and (iii) during periods in which the Participant incurs a Disability, provided cancellation occurs no later than by the end of the taxable year of the Participant or the fifteenth (15<sup>th</sup>) day of the third (3<sup>rd</sup>) month following the date the Participant incurs the Disability. |

---

**Article V**

*Company Contributions*

5.1 <u>Matching Contributions.</u> Each Participating Employer may credit a Participant's Retirement Account with a matching Company Contribution. The amount of matching Company Contribution is the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of company matching contributions (including both basic matching contributions and discretionary matching contributions) that would have been made on behalf of the Participant had the Participant's Deferrals been contributed to the Savings Program (without regard to any refunds of participant contributions required under the Code, or the effects of Code Sections 401(a)(17), 402(g) or 415), over (B) the company matching contributions (including both basic matching contributions and discretionary matching contributions) that would have been made to the Participant's account under the Savings Program on the basis of an assumed six percent (6%) deferral election under the Savings Program.

------

Matching Company Contributions are credited at the same time that company matching contributions are contributed to Savings Program accounts. It is not necessary for a Participant to receive a matching contribution under the Savings Program as a condition to receiving a matching Company Contribution under this Program. For the avoidance of doubt, a Participant may receive a Company Contribution with respect to the Participant's Bonus only to the extent that the Participant elects to defer the Bonus.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 5.2 | <u>Non-Elective Contributions.</u> Each Participating Employer may credit a Participant's Retirement Account with the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of non-elective Savings Program contributions that would have been made on behalf of the Participant, but without regard to the compensation and contribution limits under the Savings Program, over (B) actual non-elective contributions made to the Participant's account under the Savings Program. The first time a Participant receives a non-elective credit pursuant to this Section 5.2, the Participant shall be permitted to elect a Payment Schedule for such contribution so long as (i) such election becomes irrevocable on or before January 3<sup>0t</sup>h of the year following the year for which the non-elective contribution was made and (ii) the Participant is not and has not previously been eligible to elect to defer Compensation under the Program. Such Payment Schedule will apply to any future credits the Participant receives under this Section 5.2. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 5.3 | <u>Discretionary Company Contributions.</u> A Participating Employer may, from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion, credit discretionary Company Contributions to any Participant's Retirement Account in any amount determined by the Participating Employer. |

---

Discretionary Company Contributions are credited at the sole discretion of the Participating Employer and the fact that a discretionary Company Contribution is credited in one year shall not obligate the Participating Employer to continue to make such Company Contributions in subsequent years.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 5.4 | <u>Vesting.</u> Company Contributions described in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 vest after three (3) years of vesting service (as determined under the Savings Program), measured from a Participant's commencement of employment with the Company. |

---

Company Contributions described in Section 5.3 vest according the schedule specified by the Participating Employer on or before the time the contributions are made.

All Accounts become one-hundred percent (100%) vested, if while employed by an Employer, a Participant dies, incurs a Disability or the Participant attains age 65.

**Article VI**

*Payments from Accounts*

6.1 <u>General Rules.</u> A Participant's Retirement Account and any Separation Accounts become payable upon the first to occur of the payment events applicable to each such Account under Sections 6.3 through 6.5. A Participant's Specified Date Accounts become payable upon the first to occur of the payment events applicable to each such Account under Sections 6.2 through 6.5.

------

Payment events and Payment Schedules elected by the Participant shall be set forth in a valid Compensation Deferral Agreement that establishes the Account to which such elections apply in accordance with Article IV or in a valid modification election applicable to such Account as described in Section 6.9.

Payment amounts are based on Account Balances as of the latest practicable Valuation Date preceding the date that the actual payment is made.

 <br> 6.2 <u>Specified Date Accounts.</u>

 (a) *Commencement.* Payment is made or begins in the calendar year designated by the Participant, not later than December 31 of the designated year.

 <br> (b) *Form of Payment.* Payment will be made in a lump sum, unless the Participant elected to receive annual installments up to five (5) years.

6.3 <u>Separation from Service.</u> Upon a Participant's Separation from Service other than death, a Participant's Retirement Account, Separation Accounts and Specified Date Accounts (regardless of whether payments have commenced) will be payable in accordance with this Section 6.3.

(a) *Payment Commencement.* Unless the Participant designates a later year, payment of the Retirement Account and Separation Accounts commences in the calendar year next following the Participant's Separation from Service, not later than December 31 of such year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will payment to a Participant who is a "specified employee" as defined in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B) commence earlier than six (6) months following his or her Separation from Service.

(b) *Form of Payment-Retirement and Separation Accounts.* The Retirement Account and each Separation Account will pay in a single lump sum unless the Participant elected, for each such Account, to receive annual installments up to ten (10) years.

(c) *Form of Payment-Specified Date Accounts.* Payment is made in a lump sum only in the calendar year next following the Participant's Separation from Service, not later than December 31 of such year. The Payment Schedule under this Section 6.3(c) may not be modified under Section 6.9.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 6.4 | <u>Death.</u> Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VI, upon the death of the Participant (regardless of whether such Participant is an Employee at the time of death), all remaining vested Account Balances shall be paid to his or her Beneficiary in a single lump sum in the calendar year following the year of the Participant's death but no later than December 31 of such year. |

(a) *Designation of Beneficiary in General*. The Participant shall designate a Beneficiary in the manner and on such terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe. No such designation shall become effective unless filed with the Committee during the Participant's lifetime. Any designation shall remain in effect until a new designation is filed with the Committee; provided, however, that in the event a Participant designates his or her spouse as a Beneficiary, such designation shall be automatically revoked upon the dissolution of the marriage unless, following such dissolution, the Participant submits a new designation naming the former spouse as a Beneficiary. A Participant may from time to time change his or her designated Beneficiary without the consent of a previously-designated Beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Committee.

(b) *No Beneficiary*. If a designated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant amounts payable under the Program upon the death of the Participant shall be paid to the Participant's spouse, or if there is no surviving spouse, then to the duly appointed and currently acting personal representative of the Participant's estate. If there is no valid Beneficiary designated under the Program, the Participant's Beneficiary shall be such Participant's beneficiary under the Savings Program.

|:---|:---|
| 6.5 | <u>Unforeseeable Emergency.</u> A Participant who experiences an Unforeseeable Emergency may submit a written request to the Committee to receive payment of all or any portion of his or her vested Accounts. If the emergency need cannot be relieved by cessation of Deferrals to the Program, the Committee may approve an emergency payment therefrom not to exceed the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the need, taking into account the additional compensation that is available to the Participant as the result of cancellation of deferrals to the Program, including amounts necessary to pay any taxes or penalties that the Participant reasonably anticipates will result from the payment. The amount of the emergency payment shall be subtracted first from the Account with the longest Payment Schedule, then the Account with the next longest Payment Schedule, continuing in this manner until the full amount of the distribution is made. Emergency payments shall be paid in a single lump sum within the ninety (90)-day period following the date the payment is approved by the Committee. |

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 6.6 | <u>Administrative Cash-Out of Small Balances.</u> Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VI, the Committee may at any time and without regard to whether a payment event has occurred, direct in writing an immediate lump sum payment of the Participant's Accounts if the balance of such Accounts, combined with any other amounts required to be treated as deferred under a single plan pursuant to Code Section 409A, does not exceed the applicable dollar amount under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B), provided any other such aggregated amounts are also distributed in a lump sum at the same time. Such lump sum payment shall automatically be made if the balance of such Accounts does not exceed the applicable dollar amount under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B) at the time the Participant Separates from Service. |

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 6.7 | <u>Acceleration of or Delay in Payments.</u> Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VI, the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect to accelerate the time or form of payment of an Account, provided such acceleration is permitted under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4). The Committee may also, in its sole and absolute discretion, delay the time for payment of an Account, to the extent permitted under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b)(7). |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 6.8 | <u>Rules Applicable to Installment Payments.</u> If a Payment Schedule specifies installment payments, payments will be made beginning as of the payment commencement date for such installments and shall continue to be made in each subsequent payment period until the number of installment payments specified in the Payment Schedule has been paid. The amount of each installment payment shall be determined by dividing (a) by (b), where (a) equals the Account Balance as of the last Valuation Date immediately preceding the date of payment and (b) equals the remaining number of installment payments. For purposes of Section 6.9, installment payments will be treated as a single form of payment. If an Account is payable in installments, the Account will continue to be credited with Earnings in accordance with Article VII hereof until the Account is completely distributed. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 6.9 | <u>Modifications to Payment Schedules.</u> A Participant may modify the Payment Schedule elected by him or her with respect to an Account, consistent with the permissible Payment Schedules available under the Program for the applicable payment event, provided such modification complies with the requirements of this Section 6.9. |

---

(a) *Time of Election*. The modification election must be submitted to the Committee not less than twelve (12) months prior to the date payments would have commenced under the Payment Schedule in effect prior to modification (the "Prior Election").

(b) *Date of Payment under Modified Payment Schedule*. The date payments are to commence under the modified Payment Schedule must be no earlier than five (5) years after the date payment would have commenced under the Prior Election. Under no circumstances may a modification election result in an acceleration of payments in violation of Code Section 409A. If the Participant modifies only the form, and not the commencement date for payment, payments shall commence on the fifth (5<sup>th</sup>) anniversary of the date payment would have commenced under the Prior Election.

(c) *Irrevocability; Effective Date*. A modification election is irrevocable when filed and becomes effective twelve (12) months after the filing date.

(d) *Effect on Accounts*. An election to modify a Payment Schedule is specific to the Account or payment event to which it applies, and shall not be construed to affect the Payment Schedules or payment events of any other Accounts.

**Article VII**

*Valuation of Account Balances; Investments*

| | |
|:---|:---|

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 7.4 | <u>Investment Allocations.</u> A Participant's investment allocation constitutes a deemed, not actual, investment among the investment options comprising the investment menu. At no time shall a Participant have any real or beneficial ownership in any investment option included in the investment menu, nor shall the Participating Employer or any trustee acting on its behalf have any obligation to purchase actual securities as a result of a Participant's investment allocation. A Participant's investment allocation shall be used solely for purposes of adjusting the value of a Participant's Account Balances. |

---

A Participant shall specify an investment allocation for each of his Accounts in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. Allocation among the investment options must be designated in increments of one percent (1%). The Participant's investment allocation will become effective on the same Business Day or, in the case of investment allocations received after a time specified by the Committee, the next Business Day.

A Participant may change an investment allocation on any Business Day, both with respect to future credits to the Program and with respect to existing Account Balances, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Committee. Changes shall become effective on the same Business Day or, in the case of investment allocations received after a time specified by the Committee, the next Business Day, and shall be applied prospectively.

 <br> 7.5 <u>Unallocated Deferrals and Accounts.</u> If the Participant fails to make an investment allocation with respect to an Account, such Account shall be invested in an investment option, as determined by the Committee.

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 8.3 | <u>Indemnification.</u> The Participating Employers shall indemnify and hold harmless each employee, officer, director, agent or organization, to whom or to which are delegated duties, responsibilities, and authority under the Program or otherwise with respect to administration of the Program, including, without limitation, the Committee, its delegatees and its agents, against all claims, liabilities, fines and penalties, and all expenses reasonably incurred by or imposed upon him or it (including but not limited to reasonable attorney fees) which arise as a result of his or its actions or failure to act in connection with the operation and administration of the Program to the extent lawfully allowable and to the extent that such claim, liability, fine, penalty, or expense is not paid for by liability insurance purchased or paid for by the Participating Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participating Employer shall not indemnify any person or organization if his or its actions or failure to act are due to gross negligence or willful misconduct or for any such amount incurred through any settlement or compromise of any action unless the Participating Employer consents in writing to such settlement or compromise. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 8.4 | <u>Delegation of Authority.</u> In the administration of this Program, the Committee may, from time to time, employ agents and delegate to them such administrative duties as it sees fit, and may from time to time consult with legal counsel who shall be legal counsel to the Company. |

|:---|:---|
| 8.5 | <u>Binding Decisions or Actions.</u> The decision or action of the Committee in respect of any question arising out of or in connection with the administration, interpretation and application of the Program and the rules and regulations thereunder shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all persons having any interest in the Program. |

9.1 <u>Amendment and Termination.</u> The Company may at any time and from time to time amend the Program or may terminate the Program as provided in this Article IX. Each Participating Employer may also terminate its participation in the Program.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 9.2 | <u>Amendments.</u> The Company, by action taken by the People and Compensation Committee of its Board of Directors, may amend the Program at any time and for any reason, provided that any such amendment shall not reduce the vested Account Balances of any Participant accrued as of the date of any such amendment or restatement (as if the Participant had incurred a voluntary Separation from Service on such date). No amendment is needed to revise the list of Participating Employers set forth on Schedule A attached hereto. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 9.3 | <u>Termination.</u> The Company, by action taken by its Board of Directors, may terminate the Program and pay Participants and Beneficiaries their Account Balances in a single lump sum at any time, to the extent and in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix). |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 9.4 | <u>Accounts Taxable Under Code Section 409A.</u> The Program is intended to constitute a plan of deferred compensation that meets the requirements for deferral of income taxation under Code Section 409A. The Committee, pursuant to its authority to interpret the Program, may sever from the Program or any Compensation Deferral Agreement any provision or exercise of a right that otherwise would result in a violation of Code Section 409A. |

---

**Article X**

*Informal Funding*

10.1 <u>General Assets.</u> Obligations established under the terms of the Program may be satisfied from the general funds of the Participating Employers, or a trust described in this Article X. No Participant, spouse or Beneficiary shall have any right, title or interest whatever in assets of the Participating Employers. Nothing contained in this Program, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship, between the Participating Employers and any Employee, spouse, or Beneficiary. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments hereunder, such rights are no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Participating Employer.

------

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 10.2 | <u>Rabbi Trust.</u> A Participating Employer may, in its sole discretion, establish a grantor trust, commonly known as a rabbi trust, as a vehicle for accumulating assets to pay benefits under the Program. Payments under the Program may be paid from the general assets of the Participating Employer or from the assets of any such rabbi trust. Payment from any such source shall reduce the obligation owed to the Participant or Beneficiary under the Program. |

---

**Article XI**

*Claims*

11.1 <u>Filing a Claim.</u> Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Program shall be filed in writing with the Committee, which shall make all determinations concerning such claim. Any claim filed with the Committee and any decision by the Committee denying such claim shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the Claimant. Notice of a claim for payments shall be delivered to the Committee within ninety (90) days of the latest date upon which the payment could have been timely made in accordance with the terms of the Program and Code Section 409A, and if not paid, the Claimant must file a claim under this Article XI not later than one-hundred and eighty (180) days after such latest date. If the Claimant fails to file a timely claim, the Claimant forfeits any amounts to which he or she may have been entitled to receive under the claim.

(a) *In General.* Notice of a denial of benefits (other than claims based on disability) will be provided within ninety (90) days of the Committee's receipt of the Claimant's claim for benefits. If the Committee determines that it needs additional time to review the claim, the Committee will provide the Claimant with a notice of the extension before the end of the initial ninety (90)-day period. The extension will not be more than ninety (90) days from the end of the initial ninety (90)-day period and the notice of extension will explain the special circumstances that require the extension and the date by which the Committee expects to make a decision.

(b) *Disability Benefits.* Notice of denial of claims based on disability will be provided within forty-five (45) days of the Committee's receipt of the Claimant's claim for disability benefits. If the Committee determines that it needs additional time to review the disability claim, the Committee will provide the Claimant with a notice of the extension before the end of the initial forty-five (45)-day period. The first extension period will not be more than thirty (30) days from the end of the initial forty-five (45)-day period. If the Committee determines that a decision cannot be made within the first extension period due to matters beyond the control of the Committee, the time period for making a determination may be further extended for an additional thirty (30) days. If such an additional extension is necessary, the Committee shall notify the Claimant prior to the expiration of the initial thirty (30)-day extension.

Any notice of extension shall indicate the circumstances necessitating the extension of time, the date by which the Committee expects to furnish a notice of decision, the specific standards on which such entitlement to a benefit is based, the unresolved issues that prevent a decision on the claim and any additional information needed to resolve those issues. A Claimant will be provided a minimum of forty-five (45) days to submit

------

any necessary additional information to the Committee. In the event that a thirty (30)-day extension is necessary due to a Claimant's failure to submit information necessary to decide a claim, the period for furnishing a notice of decision shall be tolled from the date on which the notice of the extension is sent to the Claimant until the earlier of the date the Claimant responds to the request for additional information or the response deadline.

(c) *Contents of Notice.* If a claim for benefits is completely or partially denied, notice of such denial shall be in writing. Any electronic notification shall comply with the standards imposed by Department of Labor Regulation 29 CFR 2520.104b-1(c)(1)(i), (iii), and (iv). The notice of denial shall set forth the specific reasons for denial in plain language. The notice shall: (i) cite the pertinent provisions of the Program document, and (ii) explain, where appropriate, how the Claimant can perfect the claim, including a description of any additional material or information necessary to complete the claim and why such material or information is necessary. The claim denial also shall include an explanation of the claims review procedures, the time limits applicable to such procedures, including the right to appeal the decision, the deadline by which such appeal must be filed and a statement of the Claimant's right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse decision on appeal, and the specific date by which such a civil action must commence under Section 11.3.

|:---|:---|
| 11.2 | <u>Appeal of Denied Claims.</u> A Claimant whose claim has been completely or partially denied shall be entitled to appeal the claim denial by filing a written appeal with a committee designated to hear such appeals (the "Appeals Committee"). A Claimant who timely requests a review of the denied claim (or his or her authorized representative) may review, upon request and free of charge, copies of all documents, records and other information relevant to the denial and may submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim to the Appeals Committee. All written comments, documents, records, and other information shall be considered "relevant" if the information: (i) was relied upon in making the benefits determination, (ii) was submitted, considered or generated in the course of making the benefits decision, regardless of whether it was relied upon to make the decision, or (iii) demonstrates compliance with the Program's administrative processes and safeguards established for making benefit decisions. The review shall take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the Claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. The Appeals Committee may, in its sole discretion and if it deems appropriate or necessary, decide to hold a hearing with respect to the claim appeal. |

---

------

(a) *In General.* Appeal of a denied benefits claim (other than a disability benefits claim) must be filed in writing with the Appeals Committee no later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the written notification of such claim denial. The Appeals Committee shall make its decision regarding the merits of the denied claim within sixty (60) days following receipt of the appeal (or within one-hundred and twenty (120) days after such receipt, in a case where there are special circumstances requiring extension of time for reviewing the appealed claim). If an extension of time for reviewing the appeal is required because of special circumstances, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior to the commencement of the extension. The notice will indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Appeals Committee expects to render the determination on review. The review will take into account comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the Claimant relating to the claim without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.

(b) *Disability Benefits.* Appeal of a denied disability benefits claim must be filed in writing with the Appeals Committee no later than one-hundred and eighty (180) days after receipt of the written notification of such claim denial. The review shall be conducted in accordance with applicable Department of Labor regulations.

(c) The Appeals Committee shall make its decision regarding the merits of the denied claim within forty-five (45) days following receipt of the appeal (or within ninety (90) days after such receipt, in a case where there are special circumstances requiring extension of time for reviewing the appealed claim). If an extension of time for reviewing the appeal is required because of special circumstances, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior to the commencement of the extension. The notice will indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Appeals Committee expects to render the determination on review. Following its review of any additional information submitted by the Claimant, the Appeals Committee shall render a decision on its review of the denied claim.

(d) *Contents of Notice.* If a benefits claim is completely or partially denied on review, notice of such denial shall be in writing. Any electronic notification shall comply with the standards imposed by Department of Labor Regulation 29 CFR 2520.104b-1(c)(1)(i), (iii), and (iv). Such notice shall set forth the reasons for denial in plain language.

The decision on review shall set forth: (i) the specific reason or reasons for the denial, (ii) specific references to the pertinent Program provisions on which the denial is based, (iii) a statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all

------

documents, records, or other information relevant (as defined above)to the Claimant's claim, and (iv) a statement of the Claimant's right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA, following an adverse decision on review and the specific date by which such a civil action must commence under Section 11.3.

For the denial of a disability benefit, the notice will also include such additional information and be communicated in the manner required under applicable Department of Labor regulations.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 11.3 | <u>Legal Action.</u> A Claimant may not bring any legal action, including commencement of any arbitration, relating to a claim for benefits under the Program unless and until the Claimant has followed the claims procedures under the Program and has exhausted his or administrative remedies under Sections 11.1 and 11.2. No such legal action may be brought more than twelve (12) months following the notice of denial of benefits under Section 11.2, or if no appeal is filed by the applicable appeals deadline, twelve (12) months following the appeals deadline. |

---

If a Claimant prevails in a legal proceeding brought under the Program to enforce the rights of such Claimant or any other similarly situated Participant or Beneficiary, in whole or in part, the Participating Employer shall reimburse such Claimant for all legal costs, expenses, attorneys' fees and such other liabilities incurred as a result of such proceedings.

 <br> 11.4 <u>Discretion of Appeals Committee.</u> All interpretations, determinations and decisions of the Appeals Committee with respect to any claim shall be made in its sole discretion, and shall be final and conclusive.

11.5 <u>Arbitration.</u>

(a) If any claim or controversy between a Participating Employer and a Claimant is not resolved through the claims procedure set forth in Article XI, such claim shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Southfield, Michigan, before one (1) arbitrator of exemplary qualifications and stature, who shall be selected jointly by an individual to be designated by the Participating Employer and an individual to be selected by the Claimant, or if such individuals cannot agree on the selection of the arbitrator, who shall be selected pursuant to the procedures of the American Arbitration Association, and such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect.

(b) The Participating Employer and the Claimant agree to use their best efforts to cause (i) the two (2) individuals set forth in the preceding Section 11.5(a), or, if applicable, the American Arbitration Association, to appoint the arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the date that the Participating Employer or the Claimant notifies the other party that a dispute or controversy exists that necessitates the appointment of an arbitrator, and (ii) any arbitration hearing to be held within thirty (30) days of the date of selection of the arbitrator, and, as a condition to his or her selection, such arbitrator must consent to be available for a hearing, at such time.

------

(c) Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's award in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall have no authority to add to or to modify this Program, shall apply all applicable law, and shall have no lesser and no greater remedial authority than would a court of law resolving the same claim or controversy. The arbitrator shall, upon an appropriate motion, dismiss any claim without an evidentiary hearing if the party bringing the motion establishes that it would be entitled to summary judgment if the matter had been pursued in court litigation.

(d) The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, binding, and non-appealable, and may be enforced as a final judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) This arbitration provision of the Program shall extend to claims against any parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of each party, and, when acting within such capacity, any officer, director, shareholder, Participant, Beneficiary, or agent of any party, or of any of the above, and shall apply as well to claims arising out of state and federal statutes and local ordinances as well as to claims arising under the common law or under this Program.

 <br> (f) The parties do not agree to arbitrate any putative class action or any other representative action. The parties agree to arbitrate only the claim(s) of a single Claimant.

 <br> (g) In no event shall a demand for arbitration be made after the date when the applicable statute of limitations would bar the institution of a legal or equitable proceeding based on such claim, dispute or other matter in question.

**Article XII**

|:---|:---|
| 12.2 | <u>No Legal or Equitable Rights or Interest.</u> No Participant or other person shall have any legal or equitable rights or interest in this Program that are not expressly granted in this Program. Participation in this Program does not give any person any right to be retained in the service of the Participating Employer. The right and power of a Participating Employer to dismiss or discharge an Employee is expressly reserved. The Participating Employers make no representations or warranties as to the tax consequences to a Participant or a Participant's beneficiaries resulting from a deferral of income pursuant to the Program. |

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 12.6 | <u>Invalid or Unenforceable Provisions.</u> If any provision of this Program shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof and the Committee may elect in its sole discretion to construe such invalid or unenforceable provisions in a manner that conforms to applicable law or as if such provisions, to the extent invalid or unenforceable, had not been included. |

| 12.10 | <u>Compliance with Code Section 409A; No Guarantee.</u> This Program is intended to be administered in compliance with Code Section 409A and each provision of the Program shall be interpreted consistent with Code Section 409A. Although intended to comply with Code Section 409A, this Program shall not constitute a guarantee to any Participant or Beneficiary that the Program in form or in operation will result in the deferral of federal or state income tax liabilities or that the Participant or Beneficiary will not be subject to the additional taxes imposed under Code Section 409A. To the extent an amount deferred under this Program is included in the income of a Participant as a result of a failure to comply with Code Section 409A or change in applicable tax law or regulation, the Committee may distribute to the Participant in the year of inclusion an amount equal to the lesser of the amount included in his or her income and the amount of the Participant's vested Account Balance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Participating Employer shall have any legal obligation to a Participant with respect to a failure to comply with Code Section 409A or other applicable tax law or regulation. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 12.11 | <u>Severability</u>. If any provision of the Program is held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity will not affect the remaining parts of the Program, and the Program will be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. |
