Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

At its  February 17, 2006 meeting, the Management Development and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of Honeywell’s Board of Directors reviewed and approved the 2006 financial objectives and their relative weightings that will be used to determine the amount of the overall 2006 incentive compensation pool and individual incentive compensation awards that will be payable to Honeywell’s executives under Honeywell’s Incentive Compensation Plan for Executive Employees (“Incentive Compensation Plan”).  Earnings per share (“EPS”), free cash flow, and working capital turns objectives will be weighted 50%, 25%, and 25%, respectively, in determining the overall 2006 incentive compensation pool. Working capital turns is defined as sales divided by working capital (accounts receivable plus inventory less accounts payable). The EPS component of the annual incentive bonus pool is subject to upward or downward adjustment (up to a maximum of 25% in either direction) based on Honeywell’s relative EPS growth performance versus a pre-established group of 36 peer companies consisting of the Aerospace & Defense, Conglomerates, Auto Parts & Equipment, Specialty Chemicals, Diversified Chemical and Industrial Machinery subgroups of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index.  Each executive has a bonus target expressed as a percentage of base salary.  Bonus targets for executive officers generally range from 75% to 125% of base salary.   Actual awards can range from 0% to 200% of target, depending on performance against the pre-established, weighted financial objectives , as described above (substituting net income in place of EPS at the Strategic Business Group level), and performance against other specific management objectives (e.g., quality, delivery and other customer satisfaction metrics, productivity, driving process and functional excellence, driving innovation through velocity product development and new product introductions, and promoting learning, integrity and compliance in the workplace). The types and relative importance of the non-financial objectives will vary among Honeywell’s executives depending upon the particular operation or functions for which the executive officer is responsible.
