**Item 7.01&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Regulation FD Disclosure**

On September 29, 2025, Honeywell International Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Honeywell"), permanently divested certain of its legacy asbestos liabilities by selling Sterling Wander LLLP ("Sterling Wander"), a Delaware limited liability limited partnership and an indirect subsidiary of Honeywell that, together with Sterling Wander's wholly owned subsidiaries, holds these liabilities and the related insurance assets (the "Divestiture"). The Divestiture was made to Delticus, a leading, institutionally capitalized corporate liability acquisition platform that specializes in acquiring and managing long tail legacy corporate liabilities.

At closing, Sterling Wander was capitalized with the related insurance assets and a total of approximately $1.68 billion in cash. In connection with the Divestiture, Sterling Wander, the board of directors of Honeywell and the governing bodies of certain of Honeywell's subsidiaries received a solvency opinion from an independent advisory firm that formed the basis (along with other inputs) for its determination that Sterling Wander, together with its subsidiaries, was solvent and adequately capitalized as of the date of, and after giving effect to the consummation of, the Divestiture.

As a result of the Divestiture, the divested asbestos liabilities and related insurance assets will be removed from Honeywell's consolidated balance sheet. Delticus has assumed management of Sterling Wander and its subsidiaries, including the management of their claims and insurance policy reimbursements.

On October 1, 2025, Honeywell issued a press release announcing the Divestiture, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

**HONEYWELL ANNOUNCES TRANSACTION TO DIVEST LEGACY ASBESTOS LIABILITIES**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Divests all Bendix asbestos liabilities and certain non-Bendix asbestos liabilities*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Transaction strengthens annual free cash flow generation and further advances Honeywell's priorities of portfolio optimization and simplification*

CHARLOTTE, N.C., October 1, 2025 -- Honeywell **(NASDAQ: HON)** today announced that it has divested all of its legacy Bendix asbestos liabilities, as well as certain non-Bendix asbestos liabilities, to Delticus, a leading institutionally capitalized corporate liability acquisition platform.

Under the terms of the agreement, Honeywell and Delticus contributed approximately $1.68 billion in cash, as well as certain insurance assets related to these legacy asbestos liabilities, to the newly established structure. Delticus assumed full responsibility for administering and resolving all current and future asbestos-related claims associated with the acquired liabilities. Honeywell utilized a portion of the approximately $1.6 billion in cash received from the recently announced Resideo Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement termination transaction to fund the Delticus transaction.

The transaction allows Honeywell to permanently divest these legacy asbestos liabilities and transfer them to a high-quality partner in Delticus, providing finality and allowing the company to focus on redeploying capital toward core growth priorities. The timing also aligns with Honeywell's overall efforts to simplify its portfolio in advance of its planned separation into three independent, industry-leading companies, which is expected to be completed in the second half of 2026.

Honeywell will have no further financial exposure to the transferred liabilities, which will be fully managed and administered by Delticus and for which Honeywell is fully indemnified.

**<u>Financial Impact</u>**

The estimated impact of the divestiture will be a one-time after-tax loss of approximately $115 million and the loss will be excluded from Adjusted Earnings Per Share. Additionally, because Delticus is taking over these liabilities, the transaction is expected to improve annual free cash flow by more than $100 million over the next several years and then decrease over time.
