Adient plc 8-K Mar 13, 2026 Event Analysis

Item 5.02 · Departure/Election of Directors or Officers

• One-time RSU retention award of $500,000 granted to EVP Americas James Conklin, signaling he's considered critical to FY2026 operations
• Grant date May 7, 2026; vests 50% per year over two years — structured to retain Conklin through at least mid-2028
• Continued vesting on involuntary termination without cause reduces risk of immediate forfeiture if role is restructured

Item 5.07 · Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

• All 8 board nominees elected for 1-year terms; CEO Jerome Dorlack received strongest support at ~99.7% approval
• Weakest director support: Samardzich ~98.1% and Bushman ~98.2% "for" votes — still comfortable margins, no activist pressure signals
• PwC ratified as auditor for FY2026 with ~97.8% approval; board authorized to set remuneration
• Say-on-pay passed with ~94.1% approval (~3.6M against) — relatively clean result, no major compensation dissent
• Board share issuance and preemption opt-out authorities renewed under Irish law, both passing comfortably
