Election of Directors The first proposal on the agenda for the Annual Meeting will be electing nine directors to hold office until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2025. | |||||||||
We expect each nominee for election as a director to be able to serve if elected. If any nominee is not able to serve, proxies will be voted in favor of the remainder of those nominated and may be voted for substitute nominees, unless the Board chooses to reduce the number of directors serving on the Board. The Company’s Bylaws provide that in any uncontested election (an election in which the number of nominees for director is not greater than the number to be elected), each director shall be elected if the number of votes cast “for” the nominee’s election exceed the number of votes cast “against” that nominee’s election. The Bylaws also provide that any nominee who does not receive more votes cast “for” the nominee’s election than the number of votes cast “against” that nominee in an uncontested election is expected to promptly tender his or her resignation to the Chairman of the Board, which resignation shall be promptly considered through a process managed by the Corporate Sustainability and Governance Committee, to determine if a compelling reason exists for concluding that it is in the best interests of the Company for such incumbent to remain a director. The Corporate Sustainability and Governance Committee shall provide its recommendation to the Board with respect to any tendered resignation within 14 days of the certification of the election voting results and such recommendation shall be acted on by the Board within 30 days of the certification of the voting results. If a resignation offer is not accepted by the Board, it will publicly disclose its decision, including a summary of reasons for not accepting the offer of resignation. In a contested election (an election in which the number of nominees for director is greater than the number to be elected), the directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. | James J. Barrese Naomi M. Bergman Jeffrey D. Jones Bunsei Kure Sachin S. Lawande Joanne M. Maguire Robert J. Manzo Francis M. Scricco David L.

Audit Committee Report The Audit Committee is composed of three directors, all of whom are considered independent under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Nasdaq Stock Market listing standards and the Visteon Director Independence Guidelines, and operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. During 2023, the Audit Committee held six meetings. Visteon management has the primary responsibility for the Company’s internal controls and the financial reporting process. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and issuing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The independent registered public accounting firm also expresses an opinion, based on an audit, on the effectiveness of Visteon’s internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee oversees and monitors these processes and reports to the Board of Directors on its findings. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors selects and hires the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee considers the impact of changing auditors when assessing whether to retain the current external auditor, and regarding the mandated rotation, has had direct involvement in the selection process for the lead engagement partner for the Company’s audit. Deloitte & Touche LLP has served as Visteon’s external auditor since 2022. During the year, the Audit Committee met and held discussions with Visteon management and Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP the overall scope and plans for their audit. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with Visteon management and Deloitte & Touche LLP the audited financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, including the critical audit matters addressed in the audit, as well as the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee also discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP the matters required to be discussed with the Audit Committee by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 1301, Communications with Audit Committees, the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other applicable regulations. Deloitte & Touche LLP submitted to the Audit Committee the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. The Audit Committee discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP the firm’s independence and considered whether the provision of non-audit services by Deloitte & Touche LLP to the Company is compatible with maintaining the independence of Deloitte & Touche LLP. The Audit Committee concluded that the independence of Deloitte & Touche LLP from Visteon and management is not compromised by the provision of such non-audit services. Based on these reviews and discussion, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and filed with the SEC. | ||||

Item Two | |||||
Approval of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm | |||||
The next proposal on the agenda for the Annual Meeting will be ratifying the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP by the Audit Committee as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2024. Deloitte & Touche LLP served in such capacity for fiscal year 2023. Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have the opportunity to make a statement at the meeting if they desire to do so and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions. For information regarding fees paid to Deloitte & Touche LLP, see “Audit Fees” above. | The Audit Committee believes that the choice of Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as external auditor is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Board of Directors Recommends that You Vote "FOR" the Ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for Fiscal Year 2024. | ||||

Our executive compensation provides strong alignment between executive pay and company performance. | |||||
Item Three | |||||
Provide an Advisory Vote Executive Compensation Pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we are seeking stockholder approval of the Company’s executive compensation program and practices as disclosed in this proxy statement. While this vote is advisory, and not binding on the Board, it will provide information to the Board and the Organization and Compensation Committee regarding investor sentiment about our executive compensation programs and practices, which the Organization and Compensation Committee will carefully review when evaluating our executive compensation program. Stockholders are being asked to vote on the following advisory resolution: “RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s executive officers, as disclosed in the 2024 Proxy Statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosures.” The Company is committed to maintaining executive compensation programs and practices that are aligned with the Company’s business strategy. As a result, the Company has a strong pay-for-performance philosophy that greatly impacts its decisions regarding executive compensation. Our executive compensation programs seek to align management’s interests with our stockholders’ interests to support long-term value creation and pay for performance. This philosophy and the compensation structure are essential to the Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate individuals who can achieve superior financial results in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. To that end, our program links pay to performance by delivering a significant majority of the total compensation opportunity of our Named Executive Officers in variable or performance-based compensation programs (annual and long-term incentive plans). Performance measures used in the Company’s annual and long-term incentive plans support the Company’s annual operating plan and longer term strategy and are tied to key Company measures of short and long-term performance. Our program also aligns the Named Executive Officers’ financial interest with those of our stockholders by delivering a substantial portion of their total compensation in the form of equity awards and other long-term incentive vehicles. We urge our stockholders to read “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above, which describes in detail how our executive compensation program and practices operate and are designed to achieve our compensation objectives, as well as the accompanying compensation tables which provide detailed information on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. | |||||
Performance-based annual and long-term programs | |||||
Robust stock ownership guidelines | |||||
Clawback policy for executive officers in the event of a financial restatement | |||||
Double trigger requirements for NEO severance payments | |||||
The Board of Directors Recommends that You Vote "FOR" the Approval of Executive Compensation set forth in this proxy statement. |
2024 Proxy Statement | Visteon Corporation | 53 |
Item Four | |||||
Provide an Advisory Vote on the Frequency of the Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation | |||||
Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking stockholders to vote on whether future advisory votes on executive compensation of the nature reflected in Item 3 above should occur every year, every two years or every three years. This frequency vote is required to be held at least once every six years. At the 2018 Annual Meeting, stockholders approved the annual frequency option for the advisory vote on executive compensation and since 2018, the Company’s stockholders have provided the advisory vote on executive compensation on an annual basis. This advisory vote provides stockholders the ability to specify one of four choices for this proposal on the proxy card: one year, two years, three years or abstain. The frequency alternative that receives the most votes will be considered the advisory choice of stockholders. Stockholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the Board’s recommendation. While this vote is advisory, and not binding on the Board, the Organization and Compensation Committee will carefully review the voting results. Notwithstanding the Board’s recommendation and the outcome of the stockholder vote, the Board may in the future decide to conduct advisory votes on a more or less frequent basis and may vary its practice based on factors such as discussions with stockholders and the adoption of material changes to compensation programs. After careful consideration, the Board has determined that holding an advisory vote on executive compensation every year is the most appropriate policy for the Company at this time, and recommends that stockholders vote for future advisory votes on executive compensation to occur every year. While the Company’s executive compensation programs are designed to promote a long-term connection between pay and performance, the Board recognizes that executive compensation decisions and disclosures are made annually. Holding an annual advisory vote on executive compensation provides the Company with more direct and immediate feedback on our compensation programs. We believe that an annual advisory vote on executive compensation is consistent with our practice of seeking input and engaging in dialogue with our stockholders on corporate governance matters and our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices. | Annual advisory votes provide direct and regular feedback on our compensation programs. The Board of Directors Recommends that You Vote "FOR" the One Year Fequency Option for the Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation. |

Item Five | |||||
Approval of Amendment to the 2020 Incentive Plan The next proposal on the agenda for the Annual Meeting is the approval of an amendment to the Visteon Corporation 2020 Incentive Plan. The Amended 2020 Incentive Plan has already been approved and adopted by the Organization and Compensation Committee, pending approval by our stockholders. The proposed amendment seeks stockholder approval for an additional 1,330,000 shares to be authorized for issuance under the amended Incentive Plan becoming effective June 6, 2024. There are no other amendments being made to the 2020 Incentive Plan. We are requesting that our stockholders approve the Amended 2020 Incentive Plan which would add 1,330,000 shares available for issuance. As of April 1, 2024, we had 97,157 shares remaining available for issuance of future awards under the 2020 Incentive Plan. If this increase is approved then as of the effective date, we would have had 1,427,157 shares available for issuance for future awards under the Amended 2020 Incentive Plan. We believe that the adoption of the Amended 2020 Incentive Plan is necessary for maintaining our ability to utilize equity-based compensation effectively across our workforce, including employees, directors, officers, consultants, or advisors. The equity incentives serve to not only align the interests of recipients with our stockholders but also contribute significantly to our ability to attract and retain top talent, thereby ensuring the ongoing success of the Company. Furthermore, we believe that the additional shares proposed to be reserved under the amendment to the 2020 Incentive Plan are crucial for maintaining our commitment to emphasize on equity compensation and remaining competitive with industry standards in granting equity awards. Equity Usage In developing our share request for the Amended 2020 Incentive Plan and analyzing the impact of equity utilization on our stockholders, the Board considered our share usage and “overhang”. Equity usage provides a measure of the potential dilutive impact of our annual equity award program. The three-year average share usage rate of 1.06% is aligned with the industry thresholds established by certain major proxy advisory firms and institutional investors. The following table sets forth information regarding the share usage for each of the last three fiscal years under all awards reported in our Form 10-Ks for such fiscal years. | The Amended 2020 Incentive Plan aligns the interests of key personnel with our stockholders and incorporates the following best practices: | ||||
Minimum 1 year vesting requirement | |||||
No “liberal share recycling” of awards | |||||
Stock option repricing prohibited | |||||
No excise tax gross-ups | |||||
The Board of Directors Recommends that You Vote "FOR" the Approval of the Amendment to the Visteon Corporation 2020 Incentive Plan to increase the total number of shares of common stock authorized and available for issuance under the Plan. |

Our periodic and current reports, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and any amendments thereto, are also available through our internet website at https://investors.visteon.com/sec-filings.
