Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of     Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On June 19, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of PHINIA Inc. (the “Company”) increased the size of the Board from seven to eight members and elected Meggan M. Walsh to fill the resulting vacancy, each effective July 1, 2024 (the “Effective Date”). The Board has affirmatively determined that Ms. Walsh, age 60, is an independent director under New York Stock Exchange listing standards and the Company’s independence requirements, as set forth in its Corporate Governance Guidelines.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Walsh and any other person pursuant to which she was selected as a director, and there are no relationships or transactions to which Ms. Walsh (or any member of her immediate family) is a party that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

As of the Effective Date, Ms. Walsh will participate in the Company’s non-employee director compensation program described in the Company’s proxy statement for its 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2024. Ms. Walsh’s annual equity award pursuant to the non-employee director compensation program and her Board committee appointment will be approved by the Board at a later date.

A copy of the press release announcing the election of Ms. Walsh to the Board is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
