Notes to Financial Statements

General

The Honeywell 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) is a defined contribution plan for certain employees of Honeywell International Inc. (the “Company”). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, (“ERISA”) and the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”). The following represents a summary of key provisions of the Plan but does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Plan. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

Administration

The Company’s Vice President – Human Resources of Compensation and Benefits is the Plan Administrator and has full discretionary authority to manage and control the operation and administration of the Plan, including the power to interpret provisions of the Plan and to promulgate policies and procedures for the Plan’s administration and to delegate administration of the Plan. The Savings Plan Investment Committee has the power and authority to enter into agreements with the trustee to provide for the investment of Plan assets and to appoint investment managers to direct such trustee, as appropriate. The trustee and custodian of the Plan is The Northern Trust Company (the “Trustee”).

Administration services for the Plan are provided by Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company.

Contributions and Vesting

Participants are permitted to contribute from 1 percent to 30 percent of their “base pay” as defined in the Plan document during each pay period, subject to certain restrictions for “highly compensated employees”, as defined in the Plan document. Participants may elect to make contributions to the Plan in any combination of before-tax, after-tax and Roth 401(k) contributions and may direct those contributions into any investment option available within the Plan. The investment options for participants consist of white-labeled, multi-managed funds that are proprietary to the Plan. The combined before-tax and Roth 401(k) contributions may not exceed $20,500 annually. In addition to regular before-tax, after-tax or Roth 401(k) contributions, eligible participants may also contribute up to $6,500 annually in catch-up contributions if they are or will attain age 50 by December 31^st and are contributing at least 8 percent in before-tax contributions and/or Roth contributions to the Plan, or have contributed the maximum regular before-tax contributions to the Plan.

Depending on the rate designated for the participant’s Participating Unit, as defined below, the Company makes contributions with respect to a participant’s contributions up to a maximum of 8 percent of a participant’s base pay. The Company does not match catch-up contributions. All of the Company’s matching contributions are initially invested in the Honeywell Common Stock Fund. Vested participants may subsequently direct such matching contributions into any investment option available within the Plan.

A Participating Unit is a group of employees which has been designated as participating in the Plan. The Company may contribute on behalf of each participant between 0 percent and 87.5 percent of such participant’s contribution to the Plan, depending upon the rate designated for the participant’s Participating Unit.

There are two forms of Company matching contributions as follows: (i) variable Company matching contributions and (ii) non-variable Company matching contributions. Participating Units whose employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements or government contracts, the terms of which may change the Company match from time to time, receive the variable Company matching contributions, unless the collective bargaining agreement or government contract provides that the employees are eligible for the non-variable Company matching contributions.

Honeywell 401(k) Plan

Notes to Financial Statements - Continued

Participating Units whose employees are not covered by collective bargaining agreements or government contracts (unless the collective bargaining agreement or government contract provides otherwise) are generally eligible for the non-variable Company matching contributions.

Participating Units covered by a non-variable match receive basic matching contributions whereby the Company matches 87.5 percent up to the first 8 percent of base pay that the participant contributes to the Plan (excluding rollover and catch-up contributions)

Employer matching contributions for the non-variable match participants are made annually in a lump sum by the end of the January following the calendar year-end. Participants must be actively employed on December 15^th, disabled, or deceased to receive such match. There is no minimum service requirement to receive the annual match. Accordingly, the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits at December 31, 2022 and Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits for the year ended December 31, 2022 include $208 million for company matching contributions earned in 2022 and paid by the Company to the Plan in January 2023.

Participants have a full and immediate vested interest in the portion of their accounts contributed by them and the earnings on such contributions. A participant will become 100 percent vested in any Company contributions upon completion of three years of vesting service or upon attainment of age 65 while an employee of the Company or an affiliated company. In addition, a participant’s account will become 100 percent vested if the participant’s termination with the Company or an affiliated company was due to any one of the following (i) retirement under the terms of a Honeywell pension plan in which the participant participates; (ii) disability (as defined under the plan provisions); (iii) death; (iv) a reduction in force or layoff (as determined by the Company); or (v) a participant’s business unit is sold or divested. A participant will also become 100 percent vested in any Company contributions in the event the Company terminates or permanently discontinues contributions to the Plan.

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocations of (1) the Company’s matching contribution, if applicable, and (2) investment earnings, and charged with an allocation of investment losses and administrative expenses. The allocation is based on participants’ account balances as defined in the Plan document. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

Notes Receivable from Participants

No new loans are permitted from the Plan. Interest rates for loans outstanding at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were between 3.25% and 10.5%.

Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan document to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of a partial or full Plan termination, all Plan funds must be used in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

Distribution of Benefits

Upon termination of service with the Company, if a participant’s vested account balance is $1,000 or less (including any rollover contributions), the entire vested amount in the participant’s account can be distributed to the participant in a single payment, without his or her consent, unless the participant affirmatively elects to have the benefit rolled over to an eligible retirement plan.

If the vested amount in a participant’s account is greater than $1,000 but less than $5,000 (excluding any rollover contributions), the participant’s account will be automatically rolled over to a traditional IRA, unless the participant affirmatively elects to receive the amount in a single payment or have it rolled over to an eligible retirement plan.

Notes to Financial Statements - Continued

If the participant’s vested account balance exceeds $5,000 (excluding any rollover contributions), the balance in the account will remain in the Plan and shall be distributed (1) at the participant’s request, (2) when the participant attains age seventy and one-half (70-½), through the payment of minimum required distributions, as defined by the Plan, or (3) upon the participant’s death, whichever is earliest. When a participant dies, if his or her spouse is the beneficiary, the spouse may remain in the Plan under the same conditions as previously described for the participant. Otherwise, the entire amount in the participant’s account is distributed in a single payment to the participant’s beneficiary(ies).

Forfeitures

Forfeitures of the Company’s contributions and earnings thereon due to terminations and withdrawals reduce contributions otherwise due from the Company. Company contributions made to the Plan were reduced by approximately $7 million due to forfeited nonvested accounts for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) using the accrual basis of accounting.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuation

The Plan’s assets are held in the Honeywell Savings and Ownership Plan Master Trust (“Master Trust”) along with the assets of the Honeywell Puerto Rico Savings Plan, the Honeywell Secured Benefit Plan and the Intermec FSSP Spinoff Plan. The Plan’s investment in the Master Trust represents the Plan’s interest in the net assets of the Master Trust for investment and administrative purposes. The Plan’s investment is stated at fair value and is based on the beginning of year value of the Plan’s interest in the Master Trust plus actual Plan contributions, any transfers of assets from other plan(s), and allocated investment income/(loss) less actual Plan distributions and expenses.

Notes Receivable from Participants

Notes receivable from participants are valued at cost plus accrued unpaid interest.

Payment of Benefits

Withdrawals and distributions to participants are recorded when paid.

Expenses

Most expenses relating to the administration of the Master Trust and managing the funds established thereunder are borne by the participating plans.

The Plan’s investments are held in the Master Trust, which is commingled with the assets of the Honeywell Puerto Rico Savings Plan, the Honeywell Secured Benefit Plan and the Intermec FSSP Spinoff Plan. Each participating plan’s interest in the Master Trust is divided based on the participants’ investment elections. The allocation of income and expenses is based upon each plan’s specific interests in the underlying plan investments, which are based upon participant-direction and Company direction of the investments.

The Master Trust and the Plan’s interest in the Master Trust is comprised of the following types of investments, at fair value, as of December 31, 2021:

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition – Master Trust

Master Trust investments are stated at fair value. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis, and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Net appreciation/(depreciation) consists of both realized gains/(losses) on investments bought, sold and matured, as well as the change in unrealized gains/(losses) on investments held during the year.

From time to time, investment managers may use derivative financial instruments including foreign exchange forward and futures contracts. Derivative instruments are used primarily to mitigate exposure to foreign exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations as well as manage the investment composition in the portfolio. The Master Trust held no derivative instruments as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Determination of Fair Value

The accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and establishes a framework for measuring fair value.

The Master Trust valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured at fair value are described below. The methods described as follows may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Master Trust believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Valuation Hierarchy

The accounting guidance establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for financial instruments measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Collective Trust Funds

Collective Trusts funds are investment vehicles utilized as or within the target date funds, equity index funds, investment grade bond fund, and global REIT fund. These funds permit daily subscriptions and redemption of units. These investments are valued using net asset values (“NAV”) provided by the administrator of the underlying fund. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, less its liabilities, divided by the number of units outstanding.

Collective Trust funds measured at fair value using net asset value per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in the hierarchy tables for Collective Trust funds are intended to permit reconciliation of the Master Trust’s total investments, at fair value.

Honeywell International Inc. Common Stock, Other Common Stocks and Exchange Traded Funds

Honeywell International Inc. common stock is valued at the closing price reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape. Other common stocks and exchange traded funds are valued at the closing price reported on the principal market on which the respective securities are traded. Honeywell International Inc. common stock, other common stocks and exchange traded funds are all classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

Fixed Income Investments

Fixed income securities (other than commercial mortgage backed securities) are valued at the regular close of trading on each valuation date at the evaluated bid prices supplied by pricing vendors or brokers, if any, whose prices reflect broker/dealer supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Commercial mortgage backed securities are valued using pool-specific pricing. The pool-specific pricing is provided by the pricing vendors and typically they use Interactive Data for these investments. Fixed income securities, including corporate bonds, U.S. government and federal agencies, Non-U.S. government, municipal bonds, commercial paper, bank deposits, asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage backed securities are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Certain of the asset-back securities contain components that are unobservable and therefore are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Repurchase Agreements

The forward repurchase and reverse repurchase commitments are value based on the spread between the market value of the government security and the underlying collateral and therefore are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

The Master Trust is invested in the Company’s common stock which qualifies as a party-in-interest transaction. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Master Trust’s investment in the Company’s common stock included purchases of approximately $500 million, sales of approximately $752 million, realized gains of approximately $214 million (realized gains of approximately $213 million by the Plan), unrealized loss of approximately $119 million and dividend income of approximately

Honeywell 401(k) Plan

Notes to Financial Statements - Continued

$83.5 million. The Master Trust invests in short term investment funds managed by the Trustee. These investments qualify as party-in-interest transactions. As described in Note 2 – “Expenses”, the Plan paid certain expenses related to Plan operation and investment activity to the Trustee.

The Company is both the plan sponsor and a party to the Master Trust, therefore the Master Trust investment and the Plan’s interest of $4.2 billion in the Company’s common stock as of December 31 2022, qualifies as a related party transaction, along with the dividend income of $83 million earned by the Plan on this investment.

The Plan provides for various investment options. Investment securities are exposed to certain risks, such as interest rate, market, liquidity and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the value of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

On January 21, 2016, the Plan received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that the Plan satisfies the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code and that the Plan qualifies as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan as defined in Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code. Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan’s administrator and legal counsel believe that the Plan has been designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. The Master Trust under the Plan is intended to be exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code.  Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made.

U.S. GAAP requires plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Plan Administrator has analyzed the tax positions by the Plan, and has concluded that there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan Administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2019.
