## Exhibit 1.01

**Exhibit 1.01**

**Adient plc**

**Conflict Minerals Report**

**For the Calendar Year Ended December 31, 2025**

**I.<u>Background</u>**

Under Section 13p of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "<u>SEC</u>") imposes reporting requirements (the "<u>Rule</u>") on SEC issuers concerning the use of Conflict Minerals and the metals derived from such minerals that originate in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the "<u>DRC</u>") or the adjoining countries (collectively, the "<u>Covered Countries</u>").

The Rule defines the term "<u>Conflict Mineral</u>" to include cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, including tantalum, tin and tungsten regardless of their source (collectively "<u>3TG</u>").

This is the Conflict Minerals Report ("<u>Report</u>") of Adient plc ("<u>Adient</u>") for reporting year ("<u>RY</u>") 2025. It covers all activities conducted for the calendar year ended December 31, 2025.

**II.<u>Adient Overview</u>**

Adient is one of the world's largest automotive seating suppliers and has relationships with the largest global auto manufacturers. Adient designs, manufactures and markets a full range of seating systems and components for passenger cars, commercial vehicles and light trucks, including vans, pick-up trucks and sport and crossover utility vehicles. Adient's proprietary technologies extend into virtually every area of automotive seating solutions, including complete seating systems, frames, mechanisms, foam, head restraints, armrests, and trim covers.

Adient operates approximately 200 wholly owned and majority-owned manufacturing or assembly facilities in 29 countries and employs more than 65,000 employees worldwide. Its products are incorporated into more than 11 million vehicles each year.

As used in this Report, and except where the context otherwise requires, the terms "we" and "our" refer to Adient, as well as its majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities that are required to be consolidated for SEC reporting purposes.

**III.<u>Product Overview</u>**

As noted above, Adient's products include complete automotive seating systems, as well as automotive seating frames, mechanisms, foam, head restraints, armrests, and trim covers.

**IV.<u>Supply Chain Description</u>**

Adient is committed to the responsible sourcing of Conflict Minerals and is a member of the Responsible Minerals Initiative ("<u>RMI</u>"). RMI was founded by members of the Responsible Business Alliance ("<u>RBA</u>"). Adient encourages its suppliers to conduct conflict-free sourcing from RMI certified smelters.

As a large multinational company, Adient has a complex, multi-tiered supply chain. Many of the products that Adient manufactures are highly engineered, complex, and contain thousands of parts sourced from a vast network of globally dispersed suppliers.

As a downstream consumer with many tiers in its supply chain, Adient generally does not have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners. In most instances, Adient obtains products containing 3TG from unrelated third-party suppliers with their own independent supply chains. These third-party supply chains are also complex and multi-tiered. Accordingly, Adient relies on its first-tier suppliers to provide information regarding the potential origin of any Conflict Minerals contained in the components and parts they supply to Adient.

**V.<u>Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry ("RCOI")</u>**

**A.Process Summary** 

------

Adient designed and implemented a RCOI compliance framework consistent with both the Rule and the processes enumerated in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development's ("<u>OECD</u>") *Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected Areas and High-Risk Areas* ("<u>OECD Guidance</u>").

Due to the complexity of Adient's supply chain, Adient relied on its first-tier suppliers to provide information on the origin of Conflict Minerals potentially present in components and parts supplied to Adient. In addition, Adient sent the RMI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the "<u>CMRT</u>") to these first-tier suppliers to gather information on the chain of custody of the necessary Conflict Minerals potentially included in Adient's products.

Adient elected to use the unaltered CMRT and a survey tool to facilitate its RCOI. The questions on the CMRT include but are not limited to: (1) the use of Conflict Minerals; (2) the need for Conflict Minerals with respect to product functionality or production; (3) the origin of such Conflict Minerals; and (4) whether smelters producing Conflict Minerals were validated as compliant in accordance with applicable RMI standards. Adient communicated with In-Scope Suppliers (as defined below), notifying them of the RCOI and Adient's expectations, and provided these in-scope suppliers with additional instructions to assist with completing the CMRT.

In addition to the RCOI efforts described above, Adient also undertook the following additional measures to determine the mine or country of origin of any Conflict Minerals:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Adient considered the following supply base categories as the relevant universe for RCOI purposes: manufactured products, products contracted to be manufactured, and spare parts. This identification of suppliers that were subject to the RCOI ("<u>In-Scope Suppliers</u>") occurred as part of Adient's global scoping exercise. It examined both the presence of 3TG in the products and contractual agreements to determine the degree of influence that Adient has over In-Scope Suppliers with respect to their supply chain sourcing decisions. Adient reviews this scoping process each year to close identified gaps and integrate information collected during supply chain initiatives throughout the Reporting Year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Specifically, Adient assigned a risk level of "High," "Low" or "None" to each In-Scope Supplier based on the likely presence of Conflict Minerals in each component. We made these rating determinations based on a joint assessment of our Procurement and Engineering Departments. High Risk suppliers were identified using the International Material Data System ("<u>IMDS</u>"), which provides data used to identify commodities likely to contain Conflict Minerals. Data from the IMDS analysis is used to determine commodities with a high likelihood of the presence of Conflict Minerals (high risk commodities) and non-high-risk suppliers listed in these commodities are considered low risk. Commodities without proof of Conflict Minerals usage and their suppliers are considered as "None." Adient's scoping process sought to capture 75-80% of its spend on high risk commodities identified using this methodology. All suppliers with risk rankings of "High" were considered in-scope for RCOI procedures. Low-risk suppliers were considered in-scope if their spend exceeded a set threshold to ensure that a minimum of 80% of the commodity spend is covered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** In addition to leveraging IMDS data, Adient's process for identifying "In-Scope" suppliers also considered parties from known countries of concern, as well as countries that might pose elevated economic sanctions or human rights risks. Adient applied similar risk ratings to prioritize the Procurement Department's efforts to escalate communications and verification efforts in cases involving non-responsive suppliers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Adient required each In-Scope Supplier to provide information regarding the use of Conflict Minerals from their suppliers, who, in turn, were expected to solicit that information from their next tier of suppliers. The Conflict Minerals Supplier Letter that Adient sent to each In-Scope Supplier can be found on Adient's website at:

https://adient.portal.covisint.com/adient_en_US/Accordion/Corporate%20Responsibilities.page.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adient provided support to its suppliers during the RY, including explanations regarding the relevant requirements of the Rule and their obligations under the Rule, and reiterated Adient's expectation that suppliers cooperate to support Adient's compliance efforts. This support included an online training course that can be found on Adient's website at:

https://adient.portal.covisint.com/adient_en_US/Accordion/Corporate%20Responsibilities.page.

Additional information regarding other supplier resources is available in the "Supplier Engagement and Training" section below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adient subsequently reviewed the responses received from the In-Scope Suppliers for accuracy and completeness, and, if necessary, flagged specific suppliers for additional follow-up and/or due diligence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adient then instructed the In-Scope Suppliers who provided incomplete or inconsistent responses to review their responses and resubmit their information.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In 2025, Adient began screening for Conflict Minerals as part of the onboarding process for new suppliers in order to identify risks and remediate any potential issues with affected suppliers before starting business relationships with them.

As part of the process described above, Adient also works to identify smelters that may be located in countries subject to territorially-based U.S. economic sanctions programs administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("<u>OFAC</u>"), as well as smelters that may be sanctioned or other owned by sanctioned parties. If Adient identifies potential economic sanctions risks as part of the CMRT review process, it then works with the relevant suppliers to evaluate and remediate such risks in a manner consistent with applicable U.S. economic sanctions program requirements. This tailored approach reflects the fact that the relevant risks and requirements may vary depending on the countries, parties, and economic sanctions programs.

In addition to Conflict Minerals, Adient also supports U.S. and European Union ("EU") critical raw materials initiatives to secure resilient, diverse, and secure supply chains by providing usage data to identify Conflict Minerals and Critical Raw Materials ("<u>CRMs</u>") that are important for the automotive industry. This includes actively engaging in the European Association of Automotive Suppliers working groups to support the phase out and substitution of CRMs in automotive products. Adient also evaluates supply chains for CRMs like Cobalt and Mica and requires suppliers using these materials to monitor their supply chain and report their efforts. Monitoring for these other CRMs follows a similar process to the Conflict Minerals reporting process discussed above.

**B.RCOI Results**

Based on the process discussed above, Adient determined there were 1,224 In-Scope Suppliers for RY 2025. Adient then sent communications to its In-Scope Suppliers notifying them of the RCOI and received delivery confirmation receipts from 99% of those In-Scope Suppliers.

The overall response rate among the In-Scope Suppliers surveyed was 85%, including 968 responses that were received and accepted (representing 94% of the suppliers who returned a CMRT or an adequate declaration). Adient considers a response as received and accepted when a supplier returns a completed CMRT to Adient and Adient's internal compliance specialists validate the CMRT's accuracy.

The supplier response rate increased from 75% to 85% in RY 2025 due to extended follow-up activities. The volume of received and accepted CMRTs increased from 89% to 94%. These results appear to reflect the results of the pilot program and other improvement measures discussed in Adient's Conflicts Minerals Statement from RY 2024. Unfortunately, the number of suppliers initially reporting non-certified smelters in their supply chain rose from 18 to 49 suppliers. Although Adient was not able to determine the root causes, this change could potentially reflect growing awareness and transparency among suppliers due to enhanced due diligence requirements, the fact that some parties may be first-time in-scope suppliers, or both.

Below are the results of the RCOI survey:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **RCOI Survey Results\*** | **RCOI Survey Results\*** |
| No 3TG | 97% |
| Acknowledged 3TG Sourced from the Covered Countries | 1% |
| Acknowledged 3TG Not Sourced from the Covered Countries | 1% |
| 3TG Origin Uncertain or Unknown | 1% |

---

\*results based on the number of received and accepted CMRTs

------

**C.Improvement Measures to be Taken**

Although the response rate improved during RY 2025, the 15% of non-responsive suppliers could present a potential risk due to the undisclosed origin of the Conflict Minerals included in their products. Suppliers reporting non-certified smelters in their supply chain could increase this potential risk. With these potential concerns in mind, Adient will continue to encourage the remaining non-responsive suppliers to provide CMRTs and disclose the origin of their Conflict Minerals. Adient also plans to work with its suppliers to replace non-certified smelters in their supply chains and support the responsible sourcing of raw materials.

**VI.<u>Conflict Minerals Due Diligence</u>**

**A.Compliance Framework**

i.<u>Framework Design and Overview</u>

Adient designed and implemented a compliance framework that conforms to the primary principles of the OECD Guidance, which is the internationally recognized framework for Conflicts Minerals due diligence. Our compliance framework includes elements drawn from those principles and the corresponding supplements for each of the four conflict minerals. These include: (1) establishing strong company management systems; (2) identifying and assessing risk in the supply chain; (3) designing and implementing a strategy to respond to identified risks; (4) carrying out an independent third-party audit of smelters'/refiners' due diligence practices; and (5) reporting annually on supply chain due diligence. We described each of these elements further below.

ii.<u>Establish Strong Company Management Systems</u>

***Conflict Minerals Policy***

Adient is committed to the responsible sourcing of Conflict Minerals, and it supports the humanitarian goal of ending violent conflict in the Covered Countries. Adient's 2025 Sustainability Report and its Conflict Minerals Policy Statement confirm that we continue to promote and encourage suppliers to conduct conflict-free sourcing from the Covered Countries, and to use responsible sourcing practices. We also expect our suppliers to conduct due diligence on their respective supply chains and to assist us with our compliance efforts. To the extent that a supplier refuses to cooperate with our compliance efforts or does not conduct conflict-free sourcing from the Covered Countries, we may reconsider our supply arrangement and/or implement remedies available to us. Our Conflict Minerals Policy Statement is publicly available on Adient's website at: https://adient.com/ConflictMineralsPolicyStatement.

***Internal Management System***

Adient maintains an internal management system in which senior management with the necessary expertise, knowledge, and experience oversee the RCOI and due diligence process. These managers continuously seek new ways to evaluate and address potential risk in our supply chain processes through initiatives that often involve stakeholder engagement or consultation with outside experts.

Adient's Conflict Minerals Executive Steering Committee ("<u>Steering Committee</u>") comprised of leaders from the company's Procurement, Legal, Engineering, Sustainability, Global Customs & Trade Compliance, Internal Audit, IT, Communications and Finance Departments, meets several times a year. The Steering Committee oversees and supports Adient's Conflict Minerals compliance program, including monitoring plans to comply with all requirements.

This Report was also shared with Adient's Disclosure Committee, which is currently comprised of Adient's Chief Financial Officer, Chief Legal and Human Resources Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, and other senior Adient managers with relevant oversight roles.

***System of Controls and Transparency***

Due to the complexity of Adient's global supply chain, Adient relies on its first-tier suppliers to provide information on the origin of Conflict Minerals potentially present in materials supplied to Adient. Adient's RCOI and due diligence processes

------

are designed to gather information on the chain of custody for the necessary Conflict Minerals that may ultimately be integrated into Adient's products.

***Supplier Engagement and Training***

Adient provides online training for suppliers as part of the initial communication package to the In-Scope Suppliers. Fully implemented in 2025, this training explains the relevant requirements of the Rule, Adient's obligations under the Rule, and Adient's expectation that our suppliers support our Conflict Minerals compliance efforts. The training is available on our website at: https://adient.portal.covisint.com/adient_en_US/Accordion/Corporate%20Responsibilities.page. Adient encourages its suppliers to confer with its internal compliance team and strengthen their understanding of the Rule and our expectations. Adient also provides additional training to its suppliers on request.

In addition to online training, Adient provides In-Scope Suppliers with instructions for responding to the survey. Our Conflict Minerals compliance specialists used standardized scripts to help explain our requests and the reason behind the requests. Communications sent to suppliers also contain reference links to the Rule and additional SEC guidance, as well as guidance from the Automotive Industry Action Group ("<u>AIAG</u>"), RMI, and the Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development ("OECD"). To help suppliers identify and address smelters of concern, Adient provides links to other Non-Governmental Organization ("<u>NGO</u>") smelter information resources, such as those published by Global Witness or Amnesty International.

Where appropriate, Adient includes a Conflict Minerals compliance provision in commercial agreements when it renews or enters into new contracts with its suppliers. This provision requires suppliers to conduct inquiries and collect information regarding the smelters and refiners of any Conflict Minerals incorporated into the products supplied to Adient. This includes making reasonable country of origin inquiries. Adient's Global Supplier Standards Manual (available at https://www.adient.com/suppliers/supplier-expectations/) further reflects and reinforces these expectations.

***Internal Training***

In 2025 Adient fully implemented a web-based Conflicts Minerals training module designed specifically for employees within its Sales, Procurement, and Engineering Departments. This training educates employees about the relevant requirements of the Rule, Adient's obligations under the Rule, and the processes Adient uses to evaluate and respond to related supply chain risks. It places special emphasis on new and upcoming supply chain risks related to smelter management. Adient provides this training via its Internal Learning Network platform. This platform assigns the training to employees with roles and responsibilities in the processes that are essential for effective Conflict Minerals Reporting. Adient expects employees to timely complete this training and takes action to follow-up with those that do not, with support from their supervisors.

***Records Management***

Adient retains relevant Conflict Minerals documentation in accordance with its existing corporate records retention procedures.

***Complaint Mechanism***

Adient maintains a 24-hour Integrity Helpline (available at: https://adient.ethicspoint.com/). The Integrity Helpline provides any interested party (*e.g.*, employees, customers, suppliers, or other external third parties) with a confidential and anonymous mechanism to report potential violations of the law, regulations, professional standards, and policies (including Adient's Ethics Policy and its Conflict Minerals Policy Statement), as well as concerns regarding Adient's supply chain. All good-faith reports are investigated. The Legal Department is responsible for evaluating concerns reported through this reporting mechanism, conducting internal investigations where appropriate, and resolving cases that may require remedial or corrective action.

iii.<u>Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain</u>

Adient's RCOI was designed to determine whether the Conflict Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured (or contracted to be manufactured) by Adient either originated in the Covered Countries or were from recycled or scrap sources. Through communications with the In-Scope Suppliers, Adient sought to identify the smelters and refiners for Conflict Minerals that may be used in its products.

------

Adient exercises ongoing due diligence and escalation processes of its suppliers to remove Covered Countries, comprehensively sanctioned countries, and non-certified smelters from its supply chain. Adient asks suppliers whether they:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provided information on all relevant smelters and the country of origin of any Conflict Minerals;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• performed due diligence procedures for non-certified smelters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• were able to determine if the Conflict Minerals financed or benefited armed groups in the Covered Countries; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• where relevant, removed sanctioned or other problematic entities from their supply chains.

iv.<u>Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks</u>

Adient has established due diligence guidelines to be followed if it identifies information indicating that a supplier may have sourced Conflict Minerals from the Covered Countries through a review of the received CMRT.

Once an In-Scope Supplier indicates that it might be sourcing Conflict Minerals from the Covered Countries, Adient initiates due diligence procedures to collect more detailed information from that supplier. This includes engaging with such supplier and validating information with other reliable sources. Suppliers reporting RMI-certified smelters from the Covered Countries are generally exempt from further due diligence as long as there were no incident reports available from NGOs or other reliable sources regarding the listed smelter(s) or refiner(s).

Any findings from the due diligence procedures are discussed with Adient's Procurement Department. Based on this information, Adient maintains a list of suppliers identified as using Conflict Minerals from a Covered Country as well as the indicated smelters. This list is then compared to the RMI smelter listing to verify the accuracy of the supplier responses as well as the source of the Conflict Minerals, which is then shared with the responsible procurement team.

In addition to these measures, Adient engages and actively cooperates with industry groups, including RMI and AIAG. Adient provides its smelter list to the RMI to support RMI's risk assessments.

v.<u>Carry Out Independent Third-Party Audit of Smelters'/Refiners' Due Diligence Practices</u>

Adient does not purchase raw ore or unrefined Conflict Minerals, and, to the best of its knowledge, conducts no purchasing activities directly in the Covered Countries. Instead, Adient is a downstream consumer of Conflict Minerals and is many steps removed from the mining of Conflict Minerals. In order to meet its obligations under the Rule, Adient supports independent third-party audits by being a member of the RMI and relies on the RMI's Conflict-Free Smelter Program in connection with our due diligence efforts.

This program helps Adient to identify smelters and refiners that have systems in place to ensure sourcing of only conflict-free materials. Adient evaluates the supplier reports it receives using the RMI smelter database and then reports any unknown smelter or smelters that have not been certified to the RMI for further investigation and inclusion in the smelter certification scheme.

vi.<u>Report Annually on Supply Chain Due Diligence</u>

This Report (and the related Form SD) was filed with the SEC and is available on our website at:

https://adient.portal.covisint.com/adient_en_US/Accordion/Corporate%20Responsibilities.page.

**B.Due Diligence Results**

i.<u>Facilities Used to Process Necessary 3TG Originating from Covered Countries</u> 

Each of the measures described above was designed to provide Adient with information on the smelters and refiners that the In-Scope Suppliers used to process Conflict Minerals incorporated into the products they supply to Adient. As previously discussed, Adient is a downstream consumer of 3TG and generally does not have a direct relationship with smelters and refiners. Consequently, it must rely on responses from its suppliers in order to determine the facilities used to process Conflict Minerals. Much like Adient, our suppliers generally have their own complex, highly attenuated global supply chains and do not have direct relationships with the smelters or other facilities that process Conflict Minerals.

------

Adient's CMRT evaluation process allows for the rejection of CMRTs that appear to be incorrect or that do not provide RCOI information about listed smelters that are uncertified. The Conflict Minerals team categorizes these CMRTs as "3TG origin uncertain or unknown" and includes all data received from suppliers providing these CMRTs into the Report.

In RY 2025, all of Adient's suppliers indicated that they were able to provide smelter and refinery information. Only 10 suppliers (1%) stated that they do not source from the Covered Countries, and only thirteen suppliers (1%) acknowledged that they sourced 3TG from one or more Covered Countries. The suppliers sourcing from the Covered Countries further indicated that they only sourced 3TG from smelters that the RMI identifies as DRC conflict free. After reviewing information from NGOs and other sources, Adient found no information indicating that these suppliers sourced 3TG from smelters or mines that financed or benefited armed groups.

In addition, 49 suppliers (5% of all received replies) reported using smelters that were not certified and were consequently rated as "3TG uncertain or unknown" and rejected. These CMRTs are not included in the RCOI Survey results for that reason. Adient also informed these suppliers that their CMRT was rejected after the reporting period closed in January 2025. Given this response and an overall response rate of 85% for this reporting period, Adient does not know all the countries of origin, or the facilities used to process all the Conflict Minerals incorporated into its products. Adient plans to take additional measures in Reporting Year 2026 to reduce the volume of rejected supplier CMRTs (see section V.C above).

ii.<u>Smelter Lists (Appendix A)</u>

As explained above, Adient compared the smelter lists provided in responses from its In-Scope Suppliers with the RMI list of compliant smelters to determine which smelters the RMI identifies as DRC conflict free. The information provided by our suppliers was used to conduct our due diligence, including assessing reports for completeness and consistency.

<u>Appendix A</u> includes a list of the smelters identified in received and accepted CMRT's from our In-Scope Suppliers as part of our RCOI and due diligence efforts. A total of 218 RMI certified smelters were identified by these In-Scope suppliers. Out of these, 85 smelters reportedly ceased operations during the reporting year.

Please note that some of Adient's In-Scope suppliers also identified potential third-party smelters in the Russian Federation, seven potential third-party smelters owned by parties subject to OFAC's economic sanctions programs, and one potential third-party smelter appearing on the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act's ("<u>UFLPA</u>") entity list. As in previous reporting years, Adient followed its escalation process to request that suppliers remove these potential third-party smelters from their supply chains. At this juncture there is no objectively verifiable information indicating that Adient or its suppliers directly or indirectly engaged in any transactions with any of the potentially problematic third-party smelters discussed above. Each of these data points appears to be the result of imprecise, over-inclusive RMI data.

**C.Risk Mitigation Measures**

Adient's current processes and procedures for mitigating Conflict Minerals supply chain risks include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Membership in the RMI, which has allowed for the comparison of all supplier responses to the RMI smelter listing to confirm the accuracy of supplier responses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Updating and adapting our scoping, due diligence and escalation guidelines;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reviewing and utilizing our internal information technology systems and tools to increase process reliability and apply best business practices; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Identifying other unrelated risks during the Conflict Minerals reporting process and addressing them through the responsible Adient departments.

The purpose of these processes is to encourage smelters to make responsible sourcing decisions, and to reduce the likelihood that the sale of these Conflict Minerals will benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries.

Adient is also committed to promoting these same objectives by complying with the OECD Guidance and the Rule in a manner consistent with our Conflict Minerals Policy Statement. To that end, Adient will continue its efforts with its In-Scope Suppliers to improve the response rate and the completeness of the surveys. These efforts include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Directing suppliers to Adient's Conflict Minerals Policy Statement, which emphasizes the responsible sourcing of Conflict Minerals;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Striving to improve supplier awareness to identify potential risks at an early stage by improving our supplier training and sending out detailed feedback related to information received from suppliers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Following-up with suppliers that source Conflict Minerals from, or were identified as potentially sourcing from, smelters and refiners not participating in certification schemes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Striving to improve the effectiveness of the escalation process to enhance supplier communications and the quality of responses by addressing concerns related to customer buy arrangements to the affected customer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Enhancing our RCOI and due diligence measures, as well as the review process for existing and new suppliers included in the scoping guidelines;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Working with relevant trade associations to define and improve best practices and build leverage over the supply chain in accordance with the OECD Guidance; and

**VII.<u>Determination</u>**

For RY 2025, Adient is unable to determine the mine or country of origin for each of its necessary Conflict Minerals or the facilities used to process Conflict Minerals in its supply chain with the greatest possible specificity due to either a lack of survey responses or inconclusive survey responses from its In-Scope Suppliers. As such, Adient is currently unable to determine conclusively whether all products manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, by Adient in RY 2025 have been found to be free of necessary Conflict Minerals that directly or indirectly financed or benefited armed groups in the Covered Countries. These products include those identified in "Part III. Product Overview" above. See <u>Appendix A</u> for a list of smelters for each of the Conflict Minerals identified as part of Adient's efforts and country of origin information.

**<u>Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements:</u>**

Adient has made statements in this Report that are forward-looking and, therefore, are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements in this Report other than statements of historical fact are statements that are, or could be, deemed "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In this document, statements regarding Adient's future plans, objectives, outlook, targets, guidance or goals are forward-looking statements. Words such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "should," "forecast," "project" or "plan" or terms of similar meaning are also generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. Adient cautions that these statements are subject to numerous important risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, some of which are beyond Adient's control, which could cause Adient's actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties are difficult to predict accurately and may include (but are not limited to) regulatory changes and other developments relating to Conflict Minerals disclosures, changes in or developments related to Adient's products or Adient's supply chain, changes to Adient's supplier base and industry developments relating to supply chain diligence, disclosure and other practices. A detailed discussion of risks related to Adient's business is included in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in Adient's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 filed with the SEC on November 18, 2025, in Adient's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026, and in subsequent reports filed with or furnished to the SEC, available at www.sec.gov. The forward-looking statements included in this Report are made only as of the date of this Report and, except as required by law, Adient assumes no obligation, and disclaims any obligation, to update such statements. In addition, Adient is not including the information contained on, or that can be accessed through, its website as part of, or incorporating it by reference into, this Report.
