Election of Directors

Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer (NEO) Compensation
ManagementBoard: FORNon-binding, annual 'say-on-pay' advisory vote to approve the compensation of Carrier’s named executive officers as disclosed in the Proxy Statement.
More detail
The proposal asks shareholders to cast an advisory (non-binding) vote to approve the company’s executive compensation program as disclosed in the proxy. Management seeks approval to validate its pay-for-performance design, which emphasizes performance-based annual bonuses and long-term incentives (SARs and PSUs) tied to sales, adjusted operating profit, free cash flow, EPS CAGR and relative TSR. The board recommends a FOR vote, citing alignment of pay with performance, rigorous goal-setting, clawback provisions, share ownership requirements and investor engagement reflected in prior strong say-on-pay support (~85% in 2025). The outcome is advisory but informs the Compensation Committee’s future actions; a FOR vote signals shareholder support for existing design while a significant AGAINST vote could prompt management to engage and consider changes. The proposal sits in the context of 2025 results where company performance fell short of certain targets (resulting in a 39% company performance factor for annual bonuses), yet management maintained retention-focused long-term incentive structures and continued governance practices that the board believes align with shareholder interests.
