(i)Director Retirement as of the AGM. If a director is retiring from the Board as of the date of such AGM, then the director will not be entitled to receive any ordinary shares for the Share Retainer Amount or the Board Chair Share Fee Amount.

(ii)Director Retirement Intention Announcement. If as of the date of such AGM a director has announced his or her intention to retire from the Board prior to the next AGM, then, rather than receiving the full Share Retainer Amount or the Board Chair Share Fee Amount, the director will receive ordinary shares with an aggregate value of (x) the number of days between the AGM and the intended effective date of the director’s retirement divided by (y) 365, multiplied by the Share Retainer Amount or the Board Chair Share Fee Amount, as applicable, representing payment for the period of the director’s service from the AGM until the intended effective date of the director’s retirement.

(iii)Director Departure Before Next AGM. If, after receiving the full Share Retainer Amount or the full Board Chair Share Fee Amount following an AGM, a director leaves the Board for any reason prior to the next AGM (other than as a result of death, disability or pursuant to an announced retirement as contemplated by the preceding paragraphs), then such director shall reimburse Adient for a pro-rata portion of such Share Retainer Amount or Board Chair Share Fee Amount by paying to Adient in cash an amount equal to (x) the quotient of (i) the number of days in the period from the date of the last AGM to the effective date of the director’s departure from the Board divided by (ii) 365, multiplied by (y) the product of (1) the total number of ordinary shares received as payment for such Share Retainer Amount or such Board Chair Share Fee Amount, as applicable, multiplied by (2) the closing market price of Adient’s ordinary shares on the effective date of the director’s departure from the Board.

(iv)Director Appointment Between AGMs. If a director is appointed as a director between AGMs, then, in addition to the ordinary shares for the full Share Retainer Amount paid at the first AGM following the director’s appointment, the director will be entitled to receive additional ordinary shares upon or as soon as reasonably practicable after the effective date of the director’s appointment with an aggregate value equal to (x) the number of days in the period from the effective date of the director’s appointment or election to the Board through such first AGM divided by (y) 365, multiplied by the Share Retainer Amount, representing payment for the period of the director’s service from the director’s appointment as a director until such AGM.

(v)Board Chair Appointment Between AGMs. If a director is appointed as Board Chair between AGMs, then, in addition to the ordinary shares for the full Board Chair Share Fee Amount paid at the first AGM following the director’s appointment

as Board Chair, the director will be entitled to receive additional ordinary shares upon or as soon as reasonably practicable after the effective date of the director’s appointment with an aggregate value equal to (x) the number of days in the period from the effective date of the director’s appointment or election to the Board through such first AGM (or, if the date of such meeting is not known, through the anniversary of the date of the preceding AGM) divided by (y) 365, multiplied by the Board Chair Share Fee Amount, representing payment for the period of the director’s service from the director’s appointment as a director until such AGM.
