Explanation of Responses:

1. Each unit of phantom stock has the equivalent economic value of one share of Adient common stock.

2. Reflects the number of shares underlying previously unreported performance share units, which were not subject to being reported, that were converted into time-based restricted share units based on performance results through the end of fiscal year 2016, and as approved by the Compensation Committee on 12/7/2016. The resulting time-based restricted share units remain subject to certain forfeiture and accelerated vesting provisions.

3. Phantom stock units covered under the Adient Deferred Compensation Plan. The units will settle 100% in cash upon the reporting person's retirement or termination, subject to certain vesting requirements.

4. 50% of the options vest on the second and the remaining 50% vest on the third anniversary of the award.

5. Options acquired in connection with the completion of the spin-off pursuant to which Johnson Controls' options were converted into a proportionate number of options of Adient plc.
