Cautionary Statements For Forward-Looking Information
We have made statements in this Proxy Statement that are forward-looking and therefore are subject to risks and uncertainties.
All statements in this document other than statements of historical fact are, or could be,    forward-looking statements    within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
These statements may appear throughout this Proxy Statement, including the Proxy Summary, Compensation Discussion &
Analysis and Governance of the Company     Sustainability. Words such as    may,       will,       expect,       intend,       estimate,       anticipate,   
   believe,       should,       forecast,       project    or    plan    and terms of similar meaning are also generally intended to identify forwardlooking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
We caution that these statements are subject to numerous important risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, some
of which are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by
such forward-looking statements. A detailed discussion of risks related to our business is included in the section entitled    Risk

2026 Notice and Proxy Statement

Letter to Shareholders
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
We are pleased to report that Johnson Controls delivered strong results for shareholders in fiscal
year 2025, laying the foundation for continued momentum in 2026. Our continued strategic
evolution has positioned Johnson Controls as a more focused and profitable company, set to
deliver greater value for our customers, colleagues and shareholders.
Ongoing Governance Enhancements and Talent Development
The Board of Directors executed our CEO succession plan in fiscal year 2025, appointing Joakim
Weidemanis as Johnson Controls    new CEO. Joakim brings a proven track record in leading
global businesses, shaping product portfolios and leveraging technology. His focus on continuous
improvement, driven by putting the customer first and better enabling our frontline colleagues is
already energizing the organization, positioning Johnson Controls for the next phase of growth.
As part of the CEO transition process, the Board determined it was appropriate to separate the
CEO and Chairman roles, further elevating our corporate governance practices and adapting our
leadership model to best position Johnson Controls for long-term success.
To support our next phase of growth, we appointed Todd Grabowski as the leader of our Americas
Segment, and Chris Scalia became Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources
Officer. These appointments demonstrate our commitment to developing talent and bringing in the
right leadership capability to strengthen our culture and accelerate growth.
Capitalizing on a Solid Foundation with Increased Customer Focus
We believe that Johnson Controls is well positioned with market-leading franchises, differentiated
field talent and advanced technological capabilities. Sustained demand and record backlog
underscore the value our customers place in our solutions and the strength of our portfolio.
We see significant potential ahead, starting with a sharper focus on the customer and building a
culture of continuous improvement. Across the organization     from the factory floor to the sales
team     our customers    evolving and growing requirements are at the heart of the Company   s initiatives to build an even stronger
company that is more capable, focused and disciplined, executing with consistency and delivering for customers where it matters most.
At the same time, the Company is developing and implementing its new proprietary business system     rooted in proven
methodologies like 80/20 and Lean, and augmented with the promise of digitization and artificial intelligence. These foundational
steps will help Johnson Controls achieve market-leading performance as a faster growing and more profitable company. As this new
business system standardizes how the Company operates, we are confident Johnson Controls is on a path to improve operational
performance and accelerate innovation to deliver more predictable performance.
Looking Ahead to 2026
There is an exciting future ahead at Johnson Controls. The important work underway positions the Company to seize compelling
growth opportunities across its domains. With 90,000 talented colleagues worldwide, we are confident in the Company   s ability to win
with our customers, better enable a competitive frontline presence, and to create sustainable value for our shareholders.
Patrick Decker has, in consultation and agreement with the Board, decided not to stand for re-election at our 2026 Annual General
Meeting due to personal reasons. We thank Patrick for his contributions to our Board during a critical moment in Johnson Controls   
history. The Board remains committed to ongoing refreshment and strong governance.
On behalf of the entire Johnson Controls Board, thank you for your continued support and dedication.
Sincerely,
Mark P. Vergnano
Joakim Weidemanis
Independent Chairman of the Board
Chief Executive Officer
