March 19, 2024

Dear Shareholders,

We are pleased to invite you to attend the annual general meeting of CNH Industrial N.V. (“CNH”) to be held on Friday, May 3, 2024, at 3:00 p.m. CEST, at the offices of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP, Strawinskylaan 10, 1077 XZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Details in relation to attending and voting on the items on the agenda for the meeting are set out on pages 2 to 4 of this Notice of Meeting and Proxy Statement.

GENERATING VALUE IN CYCLICAL INDUSTRIES

CNH again delivered record results in 2023. We also enriched our portfolio of award-winning products and developed new easy-to-use technologies that make our customers’ businesses more productive. We would like to thank all our colleagues for their careful management of the business during this period of ongoing turbulence and slowing agricultural markets, especially in Brazil. Our strong earnings performance is due to their excellent execution.

2023 KEY FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

¹ See Annex A – Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures for the definition and a reconciliation of Free cash flow of Industrial Activities to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

-ii-

Our brands launched more than 70 new models in 2023. A particular highlight was the introduction of the New Holland CR11, which will go on sale in 2024. It is the largest, most productive combine harvester ever made and our most high-tech to date, incorporating both artificial intelligence and computer vision. Its development incorporated a century’s worth of industry-leading expertise from our Zedelgem, Belgium site and was based on extensive feedback from our customers, for whom it will deliver higher yields and greater profitability.

CNH has accomplished a great deal since its foundation in 1999, and today continues to build on the nearly two centuries of our brands’ deep industry expertise, yet we must continue to evolve and innovate to win in a competitive market and unlock further value for our customers and shareholders. This last year we have advanced our work on the precision farming, autonomous driving and other key technologies our customers want; simplified our structure and operations; and delivered on our sustainability goals (often while also increasing the productivity of our products). We address each of these efforts below.

ADVANCING OUR WORK ON TECHNOLOGY

CNH is investing organically and making strategic acquisitions to ensure that our ‘Great Tech’ matches our ‘Great Iron.’ By bringing industry experts and core technologies in-house, we are accelerating our technical development. And by keeping those teams close to our customers in our regional R&D centers, we are able to customize solutions for local needs.

Among this new talent, in 2023 we welcomed over 160 people from our acquisitions of Hemisphere and Augmenta. Acquiring Hemisphere, a company that produces industry leading GNSS receivers, gives us ownership of a comprehensive range of positioning and heading technologies, enabling us to control the design and manufacture of our global satellite navigation systems. We are already implementing this technology into our product portfolio. For instance, it has been used to automate the control of blades and buckets on our excavators, helping operators to execute tasks more precisely. Bringing the machine vision company Augmenta into our Raven brand means that our tractors and sprayers can now be equipped with field analyzers that deliver real time Variable Rate Application spraying. This means the machine can automatically ensure that inputs are judiciously applied, minimizing waste, and maximizing crop performance, providing farmers with increased yield and greater sustainability while reducing application time, effort, and input costs.

Of course, the biggest technology acquisition that we have made is our $2.1bn purchase of Raven Industries in 2021. Raven is a leader in digital agriculture, precision farming technology, including auto guidance, and the development of autonomous systems. This acquisition is fundamental to transforming us from a company that produces great iron to one that produces great iron with great tech. Our combined engineering team is focused on advancing our software, such as Raven Cart Automation, a technology that synchronizes the direction and speed of a grain cart being pulled by a tractor alongside a combine harvester. This driverless tractor and trailer combination tracks the combine during the grain unloading process, thereby minimizing losses, and dispensing with the need for a second operator to drive the tractor.

We are also continuing to invest in and collaborate with third parties that develop innovative new technologies. One example of this is Bennamann where we increased our stake to become the majority shareholder. This UK-based company has expertise in capturing methane from slurry on farms and converting it into energy sources. By combining their technology with our award-winning (and first-to-market) methane-powered tractors, we have created a working carbon-negative energy solution that is being used at test farms in the United Kingdom. Other examples include minority stakes in promising soil sensing and robotic picking start-ups.

-iii-

PUTTING THE CUSTOMER FIRST

CNH has a history of producing innovative products for our customers, including the world’s first mass-produced tractor, the first self-tying pick-up baler, and the first self-propelled combine harvester in Europe. Alongside delivering world class products, we are focused on helping our customers get the most out of them. We now monitor our customers’ machines from innovative control rooms and ensure their satisfaction through dedicated dashboards and track our Net Promoter Score (a measurement of customer loyalty and satisfaction) quarterly to ensure accountability and use this to drive continuous improvement across functions. To support this focus on customers, in 2023 we trained thousands of employees around the world and created new roles across CNH that are focused on customer experience.

Adopting this service-centric mindset means that we are increasingly involving customers directly in product development, using their experience in the field to improve productivity, usability and comfort. In addition to testing products on customers’ farms, we are also gathering product feedback through our Connect Rooms. These capture operational data from connected machines and use this to generate alerts and useful insights, which are sent back to the customer and used to improve our products. The Hubs also deliver data to a network of Connect Rooms at dealerships, where the status of customer equipment is monitored so our dealers can offer support when it is needed.

SIMPLIFYING OUR STRUCTURE AND OPERATIONS

Over the last few years, we have taken several steps to simplify our business. This has included spinning out our on-highway businesses in early 2022, which has allowed Iveco Group to pursue its own path while enabling us to focus on our agriculture and construction businesses. We have continued this simplification journey by moving, in January 2024, to a single listing on the New York Stock Exchange. As well as simplifying our company’s profile, this should also enhance our stock’s trading liquidity.

Within the business we have also looked for greater simplification. The Global Leadership Team has been reduced from 18 to 11 leaders to increase accountability and drive more efficient decision making. This includes the appointment of Friedrich ‘Fritz’ Eichler as Chief Technology Officer, who will oversee all our R&D across both equipment and new technologies. We have also been adjusting our cost structure. We intend to reduce our cost of goods sold before the end of 2024 and we are also reducing SG&A expenditures. This includes restructuring our organization; putting in place zero-based budgeting for all non-labor costs; and rationalizing back-office costs. We do not take such actions lightly, but we are committed to making CNH a strong company long-term.

DELIVERING ON OUR SUSTAINABILITY GOALS

We are dedicated to meeting our environmental and social responsibilities while also driving productivity for our customers and for our business. We are doing this through innovations in our products and in the way in which we operate.

One example of combining increased productivity with enhanced sustainability is our continued development of alternative propulsion solutions. In 2023 we launched our high horsepower methane tractor as well as our first all-electric utility tractors and light construction equipment to meet customer demand for equipment that allowed them to utilize renewable energy and operate silently to reduce noise pollution.

In manufacturing, our continued implementation of renewable energy sources, including solar panels, to power our facilities, reduced both our reliance on non-renewable energy and our carbon footprint. Our CNH Business System (CBS) focuses on reducing, reusing, and recycling waste and has led to some notable achievements – for example in Brazil all

-iv-

our sites achieved zero waste to landfill in 2023, limiting their environmental impact while delivering cost savings.

ACTING RESPONSIBLY FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE

Across both our agriculture and construction businesses we have seen a softening in end demand. This began in 2023 and we believe it will continue through 2024. We are, however, well placed to manage this cycle, with a simplified and strong business, significant liquidity, strong execution (including continuing to manage inventories proactively, as we did last year in Latin America), and – above all – a set of products that deliver real value to our customers.

CONCLUSION

Our gratitude goes to the global CNH team. Their dedication, hard work, and unwavering loyalty to delivering the best for our customers and dealer partners are the keys to our long-term success. We would also like to thank our shareholders and all readers for their support. With the changes we have outlined here, we believe we have a strong future, and we look forward to sharing that with you.

The Board considers that all of the resolutions set out in the Notice of Meeting and Proxy Statement are in the best interests of shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that you vote ‘FOR’ each Resolution, as they intend to do in respect of their own shareholdings.

Sincerely,

Suzanne Heywood

Chair and Executive Director

Scott W. Wine

Chief Executive Officer

Shareholders may not cumulate their votes with respect to the re-appointment of directors. A properly executed proxy marked “Abstain” with respect to the re-appointment of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated.

Recommendations

The Board believes that the contribution and performance of the executive directors seeking re-appointment at the Annual General Meeting of shareholders continues to be effective, and that each demonstrate commitment to their respective roles in the Company. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends to re-appoint Suzanne Heywood and Scott W. Wine as executive directors.

The Board believes that the contribution and performance of the non-executive directors seeking re-appointment at the Annual General Meeting of shareholders continues to be effective, and that they each demonstrate commitment to their respective roles in the Company. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends to re-appoint Elizabeth Bastoni, Howard W. Buffett, Richard J. Kramer, Karen Linehan, Alessandro Nasi, Vagn Sørensen, and Åsa Tamsons.

-5-

In accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association, the term of office of the executive directors and the non-executive directors will expire at the end of the Annual General Meeting of May 3, 2024. Each executive director and each non-executive director may be re-appointed at any subsequent Annual General Meeting of shareholders.

The composition of the Board should include members with a mix of skills, professional backgrounds and diversity factors, and also be correctly balanced between executive directors, i.e. those who hold responsibility for the day-to-day management and are vested with executive powers, and non-executive directors. In addition, the presence of independent directors is essential in order to protect the interests of all shareholders and third parties. On the basis of the proposal made by the Environmental, Social and Governance Committee (the “ESG Committee”), the Board therefore proposes that the number of directors be set at nine (9), a number deemed appropriate for the effective functioning of the Board and its Committees, and that number of executive directors be confirmed at two (2), a number deemed appropriate for the effective functioning of the Board. Therefore, the Board unanimously recommends: (a) the re-appointment of the current executive directors, Ms. Heywood and Mr. Wine, and (b) the re-appointment of Ms. Bastoni, Mr. Buffett, Mr. Kramer, Ms. Linehan, Mr. Nasi, Mr. Sørensen and Ms. Tamsons as non-executive directors. Both executive directors and all non-executive directors are eligible and have stated their willingness to accept re-appointment. The Company has also determined that Elizabeth Bastoni, Howard W. Buffett, Richard J. Kramer, Karen Linehan, Vagn Sørensen and Åsa Tamsons satisfy the independence requirements prescribed by applicable laws and regulations. Pursuant to the Articles of Association, the new term of office of the directors will expire on the day of the first Annual General Meeting of shareholders that will be held in 2025. The directors’ remuneration will comply with the Remuneration Policy.

Evaluation of potential candidates

The ESG Committee is responsible for screening candidates and recommending director nominees to the full Board. The Board nominates the directors for appointment at each annual meeting of shareholders.

The ESG Committee considers candidates recommended by directors, officers and third-party search firms. Third-party search firms may be used to identify and provide information on director candidates. At this time, the ESG Committee does not have a policy with regards to the consideration of director candidates recommended by shareholders. The ESG Committee believes that it is in the best position to identify, review, evaluate and select qualified candidates for Board membership, based on the comprehensive criteria for Board membership approved by the Board. The ESG Committee will consider candidates recommended by shareholders. Shareholders who wish to recommend individuals for consideration by the ESG Committee to become nominees for election to the Board may do so by delivering a written recommendation to the ESG Committee at the following address: Cranes Farm Road, c/o Corporate Secretary, Basildon, Essex, SS14 3AD, United Kingdom. Submissions must include the full name of the proposed nominee, age, business and residence address, current principal occupation or employment of the nominee, a description of the proposed nominee’s business experience for at least the previous five years, complete biographical information, a description of the proposed nominee’s qualifications as a director, the class and number of shares of each class of shares of the Company that are owned by such nominee, and the date or dates on which such shares were acquired and the investment intent of such acquisition. Any such submission must be accompanied by the written consent of the proposed nominee to be named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected.

-6-

The ESG Committee evaluates all candidates in the same manner, regardless of the source of the recommendation. The ESG Committee evaluates how a potential candidate’s specific expertise and background would complement those of current Directors. Furthermore, to align with our present and anticipated future requirements, the Board assesses whether a candidate possesses a suitable blend of professional experience, particularly experience that is germane to our business, skills, international market exposure, knowledge, diverse perspectives and backgrounds, independence and willingness and ability to participate fully in the work of the Board and to attend meetings. The Board values the introduction of fresh perspectives from new candidates, which may enrich the Board’s discussions through a diverse mix of professional and personal backgrounds and experiences. The Board also takes into consideration the existing makeup and inclusivity of its members, encompassing factors such as race, gender, national origin, and ethnicity. Periodically, the Board revisits these standards and qualifications, with a view to potentially refining them in accordance with leading corporate governance practices and our evolving organizational needs.

ITEM 2– COMPENSATION

Item 2A – APPROVAL OF REMUNERATION POLICY (voting item)

Votes required

Approval of this item requires that a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting be voted ‘FOR’ such resolution. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast and will not impact the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR the approval of the proposed amendment to the Remuneration Policy.

The Remuneration Policy has been revised to provide that non-executive directors are allowed to receive grants of equity awards as part of their compensation. The Company believes that granting shares aligns Board members’ interests with those of shareholders, to support making decisions that create long-term value for the Company. In arriving at the decision to grant equity, the Company considered practices at peer companies. Given the Company’s geographical footprint, the Company believes that equity awards are necessary to attract and retain highly qualified non-executive directors. The Remuneration Policy continues the link to long-term value creation and sustainability, in line with the Company’s strategy and consistent with the Company’s values. The Remuneration Policy is designed to competitively reward the achievement of long-term performance goals and to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified senior executives who are committed to performing their roles in the long-term interests of the Company, its shareholders and other stakeholders in line with our purpose, vision, missions and values.

The Remuneration Policy has also been revised in connection with the Company’s delisting of its shares from Euronext Milan and single listing on the New York Stock Exchange.

The proposed amendment to the Company’s Remuneration Policy is available on the Company’s website (www.cnh.com) under Investor Relations – Shareholder Meetings.

Item 2B - APPROVAL OF THE PLAN TO GRANT RIGHTS TO SUBSCRIBE FOR COMMON SHARES TO NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS UNDER EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS (voting item)

Votes required

Approval of this item requires that a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting be voted ‘FOR’ such resolution. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast and will not impact the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR the granting of rights to subscribe for common shares to non-executive directors under equity incentive plans

The Company’s shareholders previously approved the CNH Industrial N.V. Equity Incentive Program (“EIP”), which permits the grant of, and defines terms and conditions for, equity awards. In March 2024, the Board approved amendments to the EIP to permit our non-executive directors to receive equity awards under the EIP and a directors compensation plan (“DCP”). The DCP is described below.

At CNH, the guiding principles for non-executive director compensation include the following:

• Fairly compensate directors for their responsibilities and time commitments.

• Attract and retain highly qualified directors by offering a compensation program consistent with those at companies of similar size, scope, and complexity.

• Align the interests of directors with our shareholders by providing a portion of compensation in equity and requiring directors to continue to own our common stock (or common stock equivalents) throughout their tenure on the Board.

• Provide compensation that is simple and transparent to shareholders.

The Human Capital and Compensation Committee assessed the form and amount of non-employee director compensation in 2023 and 2024. The HCC Committee was assisted in its review of compensation data and practices by a compensation consultant.

In February 2024, following its review of CNH’s non-executive director compensation structure, the HCC Committee recommended, and the Board approved, an increase in the non-executive director compensation in the form of an annual $60,000 equity grant. The Board believes this change further aligns the DCP with shareholder interests through increased stock ownership.

Our non-executive director nominees have an interest in this proposal as non-executive directors are eligible to receive awards under the EIP in accordance with the DCP.

The Board therefore submits to the General Meeting of shareholders for its approval the requested maximum authorization for rights to subscribe for up to 250,000 common shares to be used for making grants to non-executive directors under the DCP, all in

-16-

 

accordance with and under the EIP, the Remuneration Policy, the Articles of Association and Dutch law.

Equity awards granted under the DCP are made pursuant to and subject to the terms of the EIP, which includes numerous best practice corporate governance features designed to protect shareholder interests and to reflect our Remuneration Policy and our compensation practices, including but not limited to:

• Double-Trigger Change in Control Provisions: The default treatment of awards under the EIP in connection with a “change of control” requires that vesting will accelerate only if a change in control occurs and the employees’ employment is terminated involuntarily within 24 months following the change of control (unless awards are terminated in the transaction);

• No Discounted Options: Stock options and stock appreciation rights may not be granted with exercise prices lower than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant;

• Dividend Equivalents: No payment of dividend equivalents unless the vesting terms, including performance criteria associated with an award are satisfied.

• No Transferability: Awards generally may not be transferred other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

Notwithstanding its status as a foreign private issuer, CNH, as part of a commitment to transparency and shareholder engagements, has voluntarily chosen to include a CD&A that combines the disclosures required under Dutch law and the Dutch Code in the remuneration section of our annual report, with the disclosure of information required of U.S. domestic filers (for example, the compensation of certain executive officers who are not members of our Board).

Year in Review

Performance Highlights

In its second full year as a pure-play agriculture and construction business, the Company delivered record full year revenue and EBIT margins across both Agriculture and Construction segments, while the Financial Services segment achieved a record receivable portfolio balance and segment net income, bringing the consolidated company to achieve record net income and earnings per share. Headwinds from a slowing agriculture cycle, higher interest rates, and commodity price fluctuations created lower demand in some key markets, especially in South America. Given these conditions, the Company has been proactive in taking actions to drive cost reductions in the production system, initiated a comprehensive reduction plan to reduce selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses, and drove margin expansion through disciplined commercial execution. Tireless efforts to simplify the company, expand through-cycle margins, and integrate world-class technology with great iron drives operational excellence. Furthermore, the Company prioritized investments in quality improvement and network development. Even in this

challenging year, the Company returned an unprecedented $1.2 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

The Company also continues to integrate recent acquisitions and is sustaining elevated investments in R&D relative to prior years, seeking to further its technological advancements and reaffirm a commitment to digital integration and enhancement. The Company launched 72 new products in 2023 and won several significant industry awards including the only Gold Innovation Medal at Agritechnica, seven AE50 awards from the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, and four Good Design awards. Additionally, the Company placed in the top 5% of over 9,000 companies rated in S&P’s Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment and took second place overall in the Dow Jones World Index in the machinery and electric component category.

Over the last three years, under the leadership of CEO Scott Wine, the Company has achieved strong revenue growth (80th percentile) and net income (90th percentile) relative to companies in both the S&P 500 and S&P 500 Industrials indexes. The Company’s rating was also raised in 2023 to BBB+ by S&P Global Ratings. These results, and the momentum generated for future business cycles, position the Company to continue creating value for shareholders, dealers, end customers, and team members.

Aligning Pay and Performance

The Company’s business strategy includes enhancing culture, continuously improving productivity, and relentlessly innovating to drive profitable growth for customers, employees, shareholders, and all stakeholders. CNH’s compensation program is designed to motivate employees to execute this strategy.

Based on the Scorecard summarized below and detailed further in the balance of this CD&A, the payout factors in respect to 2023 performance was 90.7% of target for the Company Bonus Plan and 183.3% of target for the PSU portion of the 2021-2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

CEO Compensation

Mr. Wine was appointed as CEO of CNH in 2021 and his target compensation is fixed for a period of five years, with all at-risk variable pay earned based on quantitative, objective, and quantifiable company performance. 90% of Mr. Wine’s target compensation is variable in nature, with 70% of his target compensation coming in equity grants that must be held for a minimum of five years following the date of grant, further solidifying long-term shareholder alignment.

-21-

 

In 2021, Mr. Wine purchased 200,000 common shares of the Company and purchased an additional 150,000 shares in 2022. He held 100% of the 289,119 shares that vested in 2022 and the 289,120 shares that vested in 2023 from LTI grants, electing to pay 1.98 million in cash to cover tax withholding in lieu of selling shares in both 2022 and 2023. In December 2023, he invested an additional $5.54 million under the company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan. The Company’s share ownership guidelines and executive compensation practices ensure that this alignment with shareholders’ interests will continue over time. Mr. Wine’s share ownership significantly exceeds the threshold required by the guidelines, and investment of his own money in the Company’s stock demonstrates the alignment between Mr. Wine’s and the shareholders’ interests during his tenure.

Mr. Wine’s annual and long-term incentive payouts are based primarily on company performance payout factors, which are comprised of objective quantitative performance goals. Based on the achievements summarized above and detailed further in the CD&A, Mr. Wine earned an annual incentive equivalent to 90.7% of target and a PSU equivalent to 183.3% of target in 2023.

Compensation Design

Compensation Philosophy

CNH has a pay-for-performance culture that drives long-term value creation. Market-competitive pay is offered to recruit, motivate, and retain talent. Challenging strategic goals, aligned with the industry’s cyclical nature, are set to reinforce a commitment to profitable growth, the environment, and sustainability. Executive compensation is highly variable, rewards performance, and aligns with stakeholder interests. Share ownership guidelines build long-term commitment and alignment with shareholders.

The compensation philosophy and programs are designed to instill a strong performance culture through pay for performance, rigorous performance management, and incentives aligned with company goals. The policy is reviewed and updated on a consistent basis to focus on shareholder value creation, ensure alignment with stakeholder interests, perform comparisons against key competitors, and reference market best practices related to compensation design.

-22-

 

Principle	How we achieve this at CNH
Pay for Performance	Compensation is based on merit, considering Company performance, individual performance, and promotion of Company values. A majority of NEO compensation is delivered through short and long-term at-risk elements.
Provide Competitive Compensation	Compensation levels are set to be competitive relative to a clearly defined, comparable, market-reference peer group targeting a median revenue broadly aligned with the Company.
Support Business Strategy & Goal Alignment	Compensation is linked to achievement of goals that align with our objectives.
Ensure Business Cycle Alignment	Driving toward alignment with other companies in the industry given the cyclical nature of agriculture and construction businesses.
Commitment to Sustainability	ESG-centric quantitative metrics are incorporated into bonus calculations for salaried participants. LTI participants have sustainability components tied to individual performance goals. Engagement surveys are conducted regularly covering the salaried population, with strategic adjustments and actions taken following results.
Align with Stakeholders’ Interests	Performance goals align with the interests of our shareholders and other stakeholders. LTIs are delivered in Company stock, with PSUs subject to a relative TSR modifier. Shareholder ownership guidelines reinforce long-term thinking and a focus on sustainable value creation.
Comply with Regulations & Policies	Incentive-based compensation paid to executive officers are subject to the Company’s Compensation Recovery Policy.
Support Share Ownership	Members of the Global Leadership Team (GLT) are subject to share ownership guidelines. Discretionary LTI awards are granted to select individuals in the talent pipeline and technical functions, representing over 35% of participants.

Strategic Alignment

Five priorities underpin the Company’s strategic roadmap and are reflected across our compensation programs. The measures impacting compensation programs, especially regarding annual bonus and PSU awards, seek to align NEO compensation with a commitment to drive results for all stakeholders.

Compensation Governance

Role of the HCC Committee

The HCC Committee is comprised of three directors, two of whom are independent; independence of all the members of the Committee is not required per foreign private issuer status. The directors are responsible for oversight of executive compensation, the Company’s remuneration policy, compensation of non-executive directors, and broader human capital management matters, in accordance with Dutch laws and the Dutch Corporate Governance Code (the “Dutch Code”).

In undertaking its role, the HCC Committee has continued interaction with the CEO, Executive Chair, and other members of the Global Leadership Team, including the Chief Human Resources Officer (the “CHRO”) and Head of Total Rewards. No individual is present when the HCC Committee considers and discusses matters concerning such individual’s compensation. The Company also engages a compensation consultant, WTW, who routinely provides support to the HCC Committee upon request, across a broad range of compensation matters, inclusive of peer group development, market benchmarking, and incentive compensation design. The HCC Committee invites WTW to attend meetings at the HCC Committee’s discretion.

Use of Market Data

The Company periodically benchmarks its executive and NEO compensation programs utilizing a pre-approved peer group. In 2022, the HCC Committee approved a revised peer group, reflective of CNH’s size and primary industry classification (the “2022 Compensation Peer Group”). The Company has retained the same peer group for 2023 (the “2023 Compensation Peer Group”).

Although CNH is headquartered in the U.K., the U.S. market has a prominent impact on the business. This is evidenced by a strong commercial presence in the U.S., robust returns generated by such presence, a high concentration of peer companies and competitors in the U.S., relevant talent markets, and nationalities represented in the leadership team. Accordingly, the compensation peer group appropriately reflects this reality.

As in 2022, the 2023 Compensation Peer Group is comprised of a combination of companies based in the U.S. and Europe with a view to positioning CNH around the median of key financial scoping criteria, primarily revenue and market capitalization. When the current Compensation Peer Group was approved by the HCC Committee in 2022, the Company ranked at the 46th percentile on projected 2022 revenue, and the 38th percentile on market capitalization amongst its peers.

When benchmarking compensation for the NEOs other than Mr. Wine, the Company considers a combination of available data provided by its consultant, WTW, and internal resources. Similar principals are used in identifying survey peers based on size and industry applicability. In assessing compensation levels, the Company primarily references median figures, considering various factors, such as location, scope of role, and experience in setting individual NEO pay relative to median.

Compensation Risk

The Company is committed to maintaining and enhancing a culture focused on integrity and accountability. The Company has adopted several policies, including those detailed below, that reflect organizational culture and compensation principles of aligning executives’ interests with long-term shareholder value creation and encouraging prudent risk taking. Additionally, the compensation tool used to allocate and distribute bonus and LTI awards to participants has internal safeguards, like preventative budget caps for teams and functions, to provide live audits of compensation practices. Furthermore, an internal risk analysis analyzing multiple variable compensation components was completed and validated for thoroughness by an external consultant, and control procedures have been reviewed and validated by external auditors. We have concluded that CNH’s executive

compensation policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the company.

Share Ownership Requirements

NEOs are subject to robust stock ownership guidelines, which require them to build up an interest in CNH stock over time as summarized below.

Minimum Requirements	CEO: five-times base salary with an interim milestone of two and a half-times base salary as of December 31, 2022 Other NEOs: three-times base salary
Time Horizon	Within five years of policy implementation (2021) or a NEO’s date of appointment as applicable
Covered Equity Interests	Beneficially owned shares or shares in which the executive has a beneficial interest, e.g. owned by a spouse Unvested awards do not count towards the requirement
Retention Requirement	The CEO must hold vested shares for five years from grant date Other NEO’s must hold 50% of net shares following vesting until the share ownership requirement is met

At the end of 2023, all NEOs were progressing towards their share ownership requirement within the permitted five-year time horizon or in compliance with their respective share ownership requirement.

Compensation Recovery Policy

The Company’s compensation recovery policy (the “Compensation Recovery Policy”) was adopted effective November 2, 2023, in accordance with SEC requirements and the NYSE listing standards. The Compensation Recovery Policy authorizes the Company to recover, or “clawback,” certain incentive compensation erroneously awarded predicated upon achieving financial results and the financial results are subsequently subject to an accounting restatement.

Covered Employees	All current or former executive officers.
Triggering Events	An accounting restatement resulting from material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under securities laws.
Covered Compensation	Any compensation that is granted, earned, or vested based wholly or in part on the attainment of a Financial Reporting Measure, where Financial Reporting Measures are measures that are determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing the Company’s financial statements, and any measures that are derived wholly or in part from such measures, regardless of whether such measures are presented within the Company’s financial statements or included in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Time Horizon Incentive compensation received during the three-year period preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement  

No recovery of incentive compensation was warranted under any of the Company’s incentive plans during 2023.

2023 Compensation Decisions and Outcomes

The following sections detail NEO compensation and incentive outcomes for 2023.

Base Salary

As previously disclosed, the CEO’s target compensation, including his base salary, is fixed for the five-year duration of his employment agreement.

NEO	2022 Base Salary (USD)(1)	2023 Base Salary (USD)(1)	Increase
Scott W. Wine	1,700,000	1,700,000	—
Oddone Incisa	681,219	708,468	4.0%
Derek Neilson(2)	584,116	636,686	9.0%
Stefano Pampalone	556,200	575,667	3.5%
Marc Kermisch(2)	500,000	525,000	5.0%

(1) The base salaries of Messrs. Incisa, Neilson, and Pampalone are converted to U.S. dollars at the 2023 full year average exchange rate for both 2022 and 2023 for a constant currency comparison per the following table:

NEO	Local Currency	2023 Average Exchange Rate
Oddone Incisa	EUR	1.0813
Derek Neilson	GBP	1.2428
Stefano Pampalone	CHF	1.1124

(2) Relatively higher salary increases reflect strong performance and the Iron/Digital integration.

Annual Cash Incentives

The NEOs’ annual variable compensation, delivered under the Company Bonus Plan (the “CBP”), is contingent on the achievement of pre-established, rigorous financial measures and other designated performance objectives, including ESG-related key performance indicators (“KPIs”). The goals of the incentive plan align with the Company’s five strategic priorities, which in addition to customer service, emphasize safety, quality, delivery, and profitability for all stakeholders. Awards under the CBP are subject to our Compensation Recovery Policy.

-30-

TARGET  BONUS OPPORTUNITY	X	COMPANY PERFORMANCE	X	INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE	=	EARNED BONUS
75% - 200% of year-end salary		0% - 200% of target		CEO: N/A (1) Other NEOs: 0% - 125% of target		To earn any bonus, a threshold hurdle rate of Consolidated Adjusted EBIT Margin % must be achieved
Subject to an overall cap of 200% of target

(1) No subjective discretion by the Board in determining the outcomes of the CEO’s bonus, in alignment with Company policy developed in reference to the Dutch Code at the time of hiring.

The HCC Committee approved the 2023 compensation design with reference to CNH’s strategic priorities, communicated goals, and market practices. With respect to annual bonuses, a threshold hurdle rate of Consolidated Adjusted EBIT Margin % must be achieved. Company performance is assessed based on three financial performance measures and two ESG measures, with established threshold, target, and maximum goals. Achieving threshold performance earns 30% of the target opportunity, and maximum performance earns 200% of the target opportunity.

2023 CBP Measures(1)	Weight	Definition
Consolidated Adjusted EBIT Margin %	40%	Consolidated Adjusted EBIT divided by Consolidated Revenues, payout will only occur if result is at or above 70% of target
Consolidated Revenues @ CC ($M)	20%	Consolidated Revenues in constant currency
Cash Conversion Ratio %	20%	Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities divided by Adjusted Net Income
CO2 Emissions %	10%	Reduction in emissions versus 2018, measured as percentage change in tons of CO2 emissions per hours of production in manufacturing
Accident Frequency Rate	10%	Number of injuries divided by the number of hours worked multiplied by 100,000

(1) CNH adjusts U.S. GAAP financial measures for purposes of financial performance measure to ensure the results properly reflect management contributions.

CBP Outcomes

The following goals and achievements applied for 2023, with the HCC Committee approving a Company performance payout factor of 90.7% of target.

Measure(1)	Weight	Threshold	Target	Maximum	Actual	Actual vs. Target	Weighted Payout Factor
Consolidated Adjusted EBIT Margin %	Hurdle(2)	8.9%	N/A	N/A	13.1%	Exceeded	N/A
Consolidated Adjusted EBIT Margin %	40%	11.1%	12.7%	15.9%	13.1%	103.1%	45.0%
Consolidated Revenues @ CC ($M)	20%	$22,241	$25,418	$29,231	$24,651	97.0%	16.6%
Cash Conversion Ratio %	20%	59.5%	70.0%	105.0%	52.6%	75.1%	0.0%
CO2 Emissions %	10%	-28.5%	-30.0%	-34.5%	-35.5%	118.3%	20.0%
Accident Frequency Rate(3)	10%	0.148	0.141	0.120	0.100	129.1%	9.0%(4)
Company Performance Payout Factor	100%	30%	100%	200%	-	-	90.7%

  (1) CNH adjusts U.S. GAAP financial measures for purposes of financial performance measures to ensure the results properly reflect management contributions.

  (2) If this hurdle level of Consolidated Adjusted EBIT Margin is not achieved, no annual cash incentive will be paid regardless of the level of performance achievement in respect to the other measures.

  (3) Accident Frequency Rate has a declining goal value for maximum payout, so a value lower than target is an exceeds target achievement.

  (4) Discretionary downward adjustment made in Accident Frequency Rate Weighted Payout Factor.

While the CEO is only subject to the company performance factor and any negative discretion applied by the HCC Committee, other NEOs’ awards are also subject to an individual performance factor, which can range from 0% - 125%, based on achievements against previously determined performance goals. Following an assessment of individual performance during 2023, the HCC Committee approved individual performance factors ranging from 100% - 110% of target.

The table below summarizes the resulting annual cash incentives in U.S. dollars earned by the NEOs under the CBP in respect to 2023 performance, which are scheduled to be paid in March 2024:

  (1) The non-U.S. eligible earnings, target, and earned annual cash incentives of Messrs. Incisa, Neilson, and Pampalone are converted to U.S. dollars at the 2023 full-year average exchange rate as previously disclosed in the Base Salary section above.

  (2) No subjective discretion by the Board in determining the outcomes of the CEO’s bonus, in alignment with Company policy developed in reference to the Dutch Code at the time of hiring.

  (3) See the breakout of Mr. Wine’s CBP payment by each KPI in the Dutch disclosures section of this Notice of Meeting and Proxy Statement.

  (4) Performance modifier reflects Mr. Neilson’s strong performance, specifically overachieving on EBIT, playing an integral role in cost-cutting initiatives, and assisting in the integration of Digital and Technology teams.

  (5) Performance modifier reflects Mr. Kermisch’s efforts in dual roles during 2023 as interim CTO and Chief Digital and Information Officer, while continuing to drive Precision growth.

  (6) Earned annual cash incentives of Messrs. Incisa, Neilson, and Pampalone are paid in local currency, which is rounded to the nearest hundred.

Equity Incentives

Equity incentives delivered under the LTI plan are a vital component of the NEOs’ overall reward packages. Equity incentives support the Company’s long-term strategy and recognize the NEOs’ leadership and achievement of strategic objectives. Since 2022, the Company grants equity awards on an annual basis, whereas awards granted in and prior to 2021 were made on a ‘front-loaded’ basis, meaning awards were generally made once every three years. This change was made in response to shareholder feedback, to better align our design with competitive market norms, to enhance the retention impact of awards, and to maximize alignment with strategic priorities. Equity is delivered in a combination of PSUs and RSUs, both of which are subject to the terms of the Compensation Recovery Policy. The Company does not pay dividends or dividend equivalents on PSUs and RSUs.

Named Executive Officer	Target Annual LTI Opportunity (USD)(1)	PSU Weight	RSU Weight
Scott W. Wine(2)	12,000,000	75%	25%
Oddone Incisa	2,656,754	67%	33%
Derek Neilson	2,387,574	67%	33%

-33-

Stefano Pampalone	1,151,334	67%	33%
Marc Kermisch(3)	1,050,000	67%	33%

(1) The non-U.S. target LTI of Messrs. Incisa, Neilson, and Pampalone are converted to U.S. dollars at the 2023 full-year average exchange rate as previously disclosed in footnote under the Base Salary section.

(2) Mr. Wine is required to hold any shares that vest for a period of up to five years from the date of grant. Other NEOs are required to hold 50% of net shares that vest to the extent that they have not achieved their stock ownership guideline.

(3) Part of Mr. Kermisch’s compensation included a one-time $500,000 award related to his dual role as interim CTO during part of 2023 until the new CTO came onboard.

2023-2025 Performance Share Unit (“PSU”) Awards

The performance measures for the 2023 PSU awards comprise two weighted financial metrics and a modifier based on the Company’s TSR performance relative to a group of our peers. All measures are calculated over the period of January 1, 2023– December 31, 2025.

50%   Adjusted EPS + 50%   Industrial ROIC x 0.75x – 1.25x   Relative TSR
Multiplier = FINAL PAYOUT

2023-2025 PSU   Measures(1)	Weight	Definition
Cumulative  Adjusted Diluted  Earnings per  Share (EPS)	50%	Net income (loss) excluding any nonrecurring items (after tax), divided by the weighted average outstanding number of common shares on a fully diluted basis, measured on a cumulative basis
Average  Industrial Return  on Invested  Capital (RoIC)	50%	Adjusted EBIT (after-tax) divided by Average Industrial Invested Capital, calculated as a three-year average
Cumulative  Relative Total  Shareholder  Return (TSR)	Modifier	Three-year TSR measured relative to peers, calculated using a twenty-one day moving average method (further detail below)

(1) CNH adjusts U.S. GAAP financial measures for purposes of financial performance measures to ensure the results properly reflect management contributions.

-34-

The payout ranges for PSU awards range from a threshold of 30% of target (which can be modified up or down based on Relative TSR Modifier for final payout of 22.5% - 37.5%) to a maximum of 200% of target (capped, regardless of Relative TSR Modifier) for outstanding performance. If the threshold performance for either goal is not achieved, none of the PSUs will vest.

Cumulative 2023 – 2025 Adjusted Diluted EPS

Linear interpolation applies for performance between the threshold, target, and maximum performance levels. The maximum payout is subject to an overall cap of 200% of target.

Relative TSR performance will be assessed against a single peer group (the “2023 TSR Peer Group”) of sixteen companies that reflect both the agriculture and construction equipment aspects of our business. The 2023 TSR Peer Group is set forth in the table below.

Performance in respect of all measures will be assessed over the three-year period ending December 31, 2025, with any earned PSUs vesting in 2026 following approval from the HCC Committee.

2021-2023 PSU Awards

Effective January 1, 2022, CNH and Iveco Group N.V. (the “Iveco Group”) separated under Dutch law as a demerger (the “Demerger”), splitting into the Off-Highway Business (Agriculture, Construction, and related Financial Services business) and On-Highway Business (Commercial and Specialty Vehicles, Powertrain, and related Financial Services business) respectively. As a result of the Demerger, the performance period of the 2021-2023 PSU awards spans pre- and post-Demerger periods. The HCC Committee realigned the performance conditions for the proportional post-Demerger CNH scope of business operations only. The HCC Committee sought to ensure that the performance goals remained challenging and reflected the same degree of stretch after the perimeter adjustment.

The 2021 PSU awards were subject to a different performance matrix than the one used for the 2023 PSUs, assessing Cumulative Adjusted Diluted EPS, Average Industrial RoIC, and a Cumulative Relative TSR modifier. To reflect the Demerger, the HCC Committee approved updated Adjusted Diluted EPS and Industrial RoIC goals to simply reflect the Company’s contributions to the original pre-Demerger targets. In addition, the HCC Committee determined that the TSR component would be assessed relative to the original peer group for 2021 performance, and the updated peer group disclosed in respect of the 2022 PSUs for the remaining two years of the performance period. The resulting modifier would be weighted one-third based on 2021 performance and two-thirds based on 2022-2023 performance when determining a final outcome.

The adjusted 2021-2023 performance goals, restated to reflect the Company’s (off-highway) performance contributions contemplated in the original goals, are as follows:

-36-

The relative TSR modifier for 2021 has been assessed relative to the original peer group (below). The Company ranked first relative to these companies for 2021, so one-third of the final relative TSR modifier is scored at 1.25.

Ticker	Company	Country	Agriculture	Construction	Other
6301	Komatsu Ltd.	Japan		X

DE	Deere & Company	U.S.A.	X	X
PCAR	PACCAR Inc.	U.S.A.			X
VOLV.B	AB Volvo	Sweden		X

The relative TSR modifier for 2022 and 2023 has been assessed relative to the 2023 TSR Peer Group disclosed in respect to the 2023 PSUs for the final two years performance period. The Company ranked 13th relative to these companies over the last two years of the plan, so two-thirds of the final relative TSR modifier is scored at 0.75.

The 2021-2023 PSU payout rewards strong financial achievement, headlined by the maximum 200% achievement on 3-year Cumulative Adjusted Diluted EPS and Average

-37-

Industrial RoIC. In 2021-2023, the Company’s Cumulative Adjusted Diluted EPS performance was 212.4% of approved goals across all three years and the Average Industrial RoIC actual performance was 186.8% of the target metrics in the same time span. The overall relative TSR resulted in a modifier of 92% over the three-year period. The final payout modifier on PSUs for the 2021-2023 period is 183.3%.

Benefits

The Company seeks to align NEO benefits with local market norms and to provide eligible NEOs with participation in broader employee benefits programs offered in the countries where each NEO is based. Some provisions are specific to the NEO’s Global Leadership Team role. The following table summarizes the key benefits offered to each of the NEOs:

(1) All NEOs participate in the defined contribution plans in their respective countries. In the U.S., CNH also has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that allows contributions over the qualified 401(k) plan limits to continue plus allows additional elective deferrals. There are no supplemental plans offered by the Company in Italy or in Switzerland. For Mr. Neilson, contributions made into the U.K. GPP are over tax limits and as such are taxable and covered by the Company. Additional supplemental contributions are paid as he earns them and are his tax responsibility.

(2) Mr. Neilson has a U.K. defined benefit that has been closed to service accruals as of February 1, 2020.

-38-

(3) Messrs. Wine and Kermisch are eligible for post-employment supplemental retiree healthcare if they remain employed until age 55 and have five years as CEO and age 50 and have five years of Global Leadership Team member service, respectively.

(4) Global Leadership Team members’ benefits follow their respective country’s car lease policy with the exception of a larger variety of brands and models available, if available in their country. Mr. Pampalone receives reimbursement for a car leased in Italy in lieu of a Swiss leased car. Mr. Kermisch elects not to use the leased car benefit available per the U.S. policy for Executives.

(5) The CEO’s personal use of private aviation for commuting from his residence to Chicago is limited to 100 flight hours per year and additionally for a maximum of 75 hours per year of other personal travel.

	2021	269,231	174,000	1,982,894	425,300	—	—	2,851,425

(1) For Mr. Wine, the amounts include deferrals into the CNH Industrial Deferred Compensation Plan. Salary amounts deferred in 2023 are shown in the Fiscal 2023 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table.

(2) For the non-US based NEOs, their local currency base earnings were converted to USD using the average year exchange rate. For each fiscal year, the table below shows the exchange rates (USD per local currency) used for each of the non-US based NEOs:

Name	Local Currency	2023 Average Exchange Rate	2022 Average Exchange Rate	2021 Average  Exchange Rate
Oddone Incisa	EUR	1.0813	1.0530	1.1827
Derek Neilson	GBP	1.2428	1.2348	1.3759
Stefano Pampalone	CHF	1.1124	1.0481	1.0940

(3) The amount in 2023 was the second of three annual installments of a cash award totaling $7.578M which replaces the CEO’s forfeited long-term awards from his prior employer which were not covered under the CNH 2021-2023 LTI awards. The third installment is $0.975M and was paid in January 2024 and will be reported in the Company’s executive compensation disclosure for fiscal 2024. The amount in 2021 was a cash sign-on bonus paid to Mr. Wine upon hiring to compensate for the forfeited 2020 bonus from the prior employer.

(4) Represents the aggregate grant date fair value of PSUs and RSUs computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The values in this column exclude the effect of estimated forfeitures. Assumptions made in the calculation of these amounts are included in Note 23, “Restricted Stock Awards,” of our consolidated financial statements filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”). For PSUs, the value at the grant date is based upon a target payout of the performance metric over the three-year performance period. For the 2023 PSUs, if the highest level of payout were achieved, the value of the PSU awards as of the grant date would be as follows: $18.269M (Wine), $4.064M (Incisa), $3.792M (Neilson), $1.745M (Pampalone), and $2.334M (Kermisch). RSUs will vest three years after the grant date, at which time they may be settled in CNH common stock. Refer to the Fiscal 2023 Grants of Plan-Based Awards table for a detailed description of the grant date fair value of stock awards.

(5) Based on actual company performance, as discussed in the CD&A under “CBP Outcomes” in the Annual Cash Incentive section, the NEOs earned a Company Bonus Plan (CBP) award equal to 90.7% of the target opportunity. The awards for NEOs other than the CEO were adjusted for individual performance by a factor that ranged from 100% to 110%.

(6) Mr. Wine defers 50% of the earned Company Bonus Plan (CBP) bonus into the CNH Industrial Deferred Compensation Plan. Bonus amounts deferred in 2023 are shown in the Fiscal 2023 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table and relate to the 2022 plan year bonus.

(7) Messrs. Incisa, Neilson and Pampalone local currency cash bonuses were converted to USD using the full year average exchange rate for the given year, as shown in the Base Salary section above.

(8) For Mr. Wine, the amounts include above market interest earned on deferred compensation for each year.

(9) For Mr. Neilson, the amount includes the change in value of his defined benefit plan accumulated benefit. The U.K. CNH Pension Scheme was discontinued effective January 31, 2020, for additional service, but benefits increase annually for inflation as measured by the U.K. retail price index (RPI).

(10) All Other Compensation incurred in fiscal 2023 is detailed and explained in the following table:

Marc Kermisch	—	—	—	—	32,204	29,961	62,165

  (a) The NEOs are eligible for a leased car pursuant to the Company’s car policy in each country in connection with the Company’s arrangements with Stellantis NV. The values provided above reflect the value of each NEO’s selected car, as selected from a list of Fiat Chrysler brands and per the respective NEO’s countries’ tax code. Mr. Kermisch does not utilize the lease car benefit that is available under the U.S. car policy.

  (b) The Company has a lease arrangement with NetJets for corporate business and limited personal usage purposes. Per Mr. Wine’s employment agreement, the CEO is entitled to limited personal usage of the aircraft.

  (c) Mr. Pampalone receives an annual housing allowance of CHF 30,000, taxable to him, as part of a legacy agreement when his role transferred to Lugano, Switzerland from Italy in December 2012.

  (d) Mr. Pampalone’s position is based in Lugano, Switzerland but he is a resident of Italy for tax purposes. Per Mr. Pampalone’s employment agreement, he is tax equalized to Switzerland taxes, meaning the Company pays any amount in respect of Italian taxes that would result in Mr. Pampalone’s net taxes exceeding what he otherwise would have paid in Switzerland.

  (e) Messrs. Wine and Kermisch are eligible for post-employment supplemental retiree healthcare if they remain employed until age 55 and have five years as CEO and age 50 and have five years of Global Leadership Team member service, respectively. The amount is the annual service cost of the future potential benefits per the annual actuarial valuation.

  (f) All the NEOs participate in their countries’ defined contribution plan for Salaried employees and in the case of Mr. Incisa for Directors as defined in the “Contratto Collettivo di Lavoro per i Dirigenti” the collective Labor Contract for Directors. The amounts include the 2023 contributions the Company made into their respective savings plans.

  (g) For Mr. Wine, company matching amounts above the qualified 401(k) plan limits ($22,500 for 2023) are also included above and are also disclosed in the non-qualified deferred compensation table. Mr. Kermisch does not contribute above the qualified 401(k) plan limits.

  (h) For Mr. Neilson, the amount listed above includes supplemental contributions over the tax qualified limits which are paid directly to him as they are earned. The supplemental benefits are described in a later section regarding Pension Benefits. Of the total amount provided above, $15,444 covers the tax and gross-up on the portion that is tax-protected by the Company.

Fiscal 2023 Grants of Plan-Based Awards

The following table provides additional information regarding both the short-term and long-term (LTI) awards and potential payout ranges for awards that were granted in fiscal 2023. The short-term incentive awards were granted under the 2023 CBP and the LTI awarded solely in equity awards consists of RSU and PSU awards under the CNH 2023-2025 LTI plan. The equity awards will deliver payout in future years subject to meeting the vesting and performance conditions. These awards are further described in the CD&A under “2023 Compensation Decisions and Outcomes - Annual Cash Incentives - Equity Incentives.”

  (1) For the non-equity incentive plan awards, the grant date is the date the HCC Committee approved the range of estimated potential payouts for the 2023 performance year under the CBP. For equity awards, the grant date is the notification date of awards to the NEOs after the HCC Committee’s approval of the 2023-2025 LTI plan.

  (2) These columns show the range of potential payouts under the CBP for the achievement of the company performance metrics’ goals set. The metrics and range of performance goals for threshold, target and maximum are described in the CD&A in the “2023 Compensation Decisions and Outcomes - Annual Cash Incentives” section. For actual performance between threshold, target, and maximum, linear interpolation will apply. For the NEOs other than the CEO, an individual modifier between 0% and 125% will be applied based on the CEO’s assessment of their individual and team goals set in the Company’s Performance Management Process (PMP) for 2023.

  (3) Represents the potential payout range of PSUs granted in May 2023. The number of shares that vest is based on the achievement of predetermined performance metrics’ goals for the three-year period of January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2025. The metrics and range of performance goals for threshold, target and maximum are described in the CD&A in the “2023 Compensation Decisions and Outcomes - Equity Incentives” section. At the end of the three-year performance period, the actual award earned, delivered as CNH common stock, can range from 0% to 200% of the target value of the original grant. The awards may be forfeited for unfavorable individual performance at the sole discretion of the HCC Committee. No dividend equivalents are earned during the vesting period.

  (4) Represents the number of RSUs granted in May 2023. RSUs will vest on April 30, 2026, at which time they will be settled in CNH common stock. The awards may be forfeited for unfavorable individual performance at the sole discretion of the HCC Committee. No dividend equivalents are earned during the vesting period.

  (5) Amounts shown represent the grant date fair value of equity awards granted to the NEOs in fiscal 2023 calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The values in this column exclude the effect of estimated forfeitures. For both the PSUs and RSUs, fair value is the market value of the underlying stock on the grant date, excluding dividends. The valuation of the PSUs assumes a target payout.

For additional information on the valuation assumptions, refer to Note 17, “Share-Based Compensation,” of CNH’s consolidated financial statements.

Stock Awards Vested at Fiscal 2023 Year-End

-43-

The following table shows the equity awards that vested during 2023 for the NEOs.

	NEO	Vesting Date	Number of Shares Acquired on Vesting (#) (1)	Value Realized on Vesting ($) (2), (3),(4)
	Scott W. Wine	4/30/2023	289,120	$4,028,887
	Oddone Incisa	4/30/2023	43,312	$1,120,752

	Marc Kermisch	4/30/2023	7,998	$204,496

(1) The amounts reflect the vesting of the second of three annual installments of the 2021-23 LTI RSU award. Mr. Wine paid the taxes in cash rather than selling shares to cover his tax withholding obligation to acquire the maximum number of shares. All other NEOs sold shares to cover their respective tax withholding obligation.

(2) FMV at date of vesting was $13.9350/share, the average of the high and low prices on the vesting date, for Messrs. Wine, Neilson, and Kermisch.

(3) FMV at date of vesting was $14.4150/share, the average of the closing prices for the prior 30 days as of the vesting date, for Mr. Incisa.

(4) FMV at date of vesting was $14.10/share, which is the closing price on the vesting date, for Mr. Pampalone.

Benefits

Pension Benefits

Mr. Neilson, who is located in the U.K., is the only NEO who participates in a qualified defined benefit pension plan that provides a benefit based on an individual’s service and salary. Mr. Neilson participates in the CNH Pension Scheme (the “Scheme”) in which all salaried U.K. employees hired prior to December 31, 2002, participate in. The Scheme was closed to future service accruals from January 31, 2020.

The following table shows the present value of accumulated benefit using assumptions consistent with the Company’s financial disclosure on the Scheme.

NEO & Position	Plan Name		Number of Years Credited Service (1)	Present Value of Accumulated Benefit (2)	Payments During Last Fiscal Year
Derek Neilson President, Agriculture		CNH Pension Scheme	22.8	£1,002,739	£0

(1) The years of credited service ended January 31, 2020 when the Scheme was discontinued for additional service.

(2) The present value of the accumulated benefit fluctuates year-over year for market conditions impacting the financial assumptions used, primarily the discount rate. The actual benefit is adjusted annually for inflation.

Features of the Scheme	Definition/Description
Form of Benefit	Lifetime benefit begins at retirement based on individual’s service and salary. Members have the option to exchange up to 25% of their pension for a tax-free cash lump sum.
Pensionable Service	Mr. Neilson is entitled to senior staff benefits under the Scheme and as such received pensionable service credit based on his actual service (“Pensionable Service”).
Pensionable Pay	Final pensionable pay varies by service period, but Mr. Neilson is subject to capped pensionable pay levels.
Accrual Rates	For service up to March 31, 2012, the accrual rate is 1/55th of final pensionable pay for each complete year of service. The accrual rate applied for service from April 1, 2012 is 1/80th
Normal Retirement Date	The earliest date for an unreduced benefit is age 65.

-44-

Features of the Scheme	Definition/Description
Revaluation Prior to  Retirement	Pensions earned in respect of Pensionable Service on or before April 5, 2009 will be revalued each year in line with the Retail Price Index (“RPI”), up to a maximum of 5.0% a year. Pensions earned in respect of Pensionable Service on or after April 6, 2009 will be revalued each year in line with the annual increase in the Consumer Prices Index (“CPI”), up to a maximum of 2.5% each year.
Increases in Payment	Pensions earned in respect of Pensionable Service completed before April 6, 1997 are not guaranteed to increase in payment, but they are reviewed annually by the Company and are increased at its discretion when financial resources permit. Pensions earned in respect of Pensionable Service completed between April 6, 1997 and April 5, 2005 will be increased automatically each year in line with the CPI, up to a maximum of 5% a year. Pensions earned in respect of Pensionable Service on or after April 6, 2005 will be increased automatically each year in line with the annual increase in the Consumer Prices Index (“CPI”), up to a maximum of 2.5% each year.

Defined Contribution Benefits

Each of the NEOs participates in a Company-sponsored defined contribution plan available to salaried employees in their country of employment. All such defined contribution plans are tax-qualified plans. The U.S. based NEOs, Messrs. Wine and Kermisch also participate in a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for limits over the tax-qualified plans, as described in the “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” section. Mr. Neilson receives supplemental contributions over the tax-qualified limits which are paid to him directly for his own personal retirement savings.

The following table provides an overview of certain provisions of the defined contribution plans of the NEOs:

NEO &   Position	Plan	Employee Contributions	Employer Matching Contributions	Supplemental Contributions
Scott W. Wine   CEO	CNH Industrial U.S. Retirement Savings / CNH Industrial Deferred Compensation Plan	Up to 10% of base salary to receive maximum Company match In 2023, 20% deferral elected.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan Benefits

In the U.S., CNH offers the Case New Holland Industrial Inc. 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Company Deferred Compensation Plan”) to certain U.S. salaried employees, including U.S. based NEOs, to provide longer-term savings opportunities on a tax-efficient basis for retirement and future income needs. Similar deferred compensation benefits are commonly offered by U.S. companies with which we compete for talent. Mr. Wine participates in the Company Deferred Compensation Plan. Mr. Kermisch elected not to participate in the Company Deferred Compensation Plan.

Key Features of the Company Deferred Compensation Plan

Contributions

Eligible participants may elect annually to tax defer up to 90% of their salary and eligible bonus and also elect supplemental contributions over the qualified plan limits under the Company’s U.S. Retirement Plan (a 401(k) plan).

There are two types of supplemental contributions under the Company Deferred Compensation Plan:

Elective Deferrals, also called Excess 401(k) Contributions (made by employees)

Employer Matching Contributions (Company matching contributions on Excess 401(k) contributions)

Elective Deferrals: Once the participant has reached the elective deferral limit in the Company U.S. Retirement Savings Plan, supplemental tax-deferred contributions (Excess 401(k) Contributions) are credited to their Company Deferred Compensation Plan account for the remainder of the year.

Employer Matching Contributions: Supplemental Employer Matching Contributions are made based on Excess 401(k) Contributions. The participant must complete a year of eligibility service to begin receiving matching contributions. The Company matches 200% of the first 2% of eligible pay and then 100% of the next 8% of pay that is contributed to the 401(k) plan and the Company Deferred Compensation Plan, for a maximum match of 12% of eligible pay.

The first-year eligibility for Company matching contributions was waived for Mr. Wine, as part of his CEO employment agreement. The amounts were credited to Mr. Wine’s Company Deferred Compensation Plan account at the end of 2021. No exceptions were made for Mr. Kermisch or other NEOs in the Company Deferred Compensation Plan.

The U.S. based NEO’s 2023 deferral elections are noted in the footnotes to the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table.

Earnings

The CNH Industrial Deferred Compensation Plan accounts are credited with a rate of return based on the investment election made from a list of allowable investment options by the participant on all participant and Company matching contributions. The earnings are also on a tax-deferred basis, thus maximizing the combined benefit of pre-tax deferrals and tax-deferred growth.

The rate of return is variable and the investment election can be changed at any time by the participant within the selection of the investment portfolio.

Until September 30, 2023, the Deferred Compensation Plan accounts were credited with a rate of return based on the effective annual yield of 130% of Moody’s Corporate Bond Index on all participant and Company matching contributions. Because this rate of return was above the U.S. applicable federal rate (“AFR”) each year, earnings in excess of the AFR are included on the Summary Compensation Table.

As of October 1, 2023, the Deferred Compensation Plan was administered by Fidelity and the Moody’s Bond Index was no longer used for earnings on deferred balances. Participants

could invest their deferrals by selecting and changing elections based on the portfolio available in the Fidelity are able to invest their deferrals in the investment choices offered by Fidelity. The earnings are also on a tax-deferred basis, thus maximizing the combined benefit of pre-tax deferrals and tax-deferred growth.

Vesting

Participant deferrals and related earnings are 100% vested.

Employer Matching Contributions vest after three years of continued service.

Forms of Payment

The Company Deferred Compensation Plan provides flexible payment options for participants who remain employed as of a specific date (a “scheduled distribution”) and/or after the participant retires or otherwise terminates their employment with the Company.

Retirement Accounts: Can be elected to be paid in a lump sum (after six months of termination for key employees such as the NEOs) or in annual installments over a period of up to 10 years.

If installments are elected, that election will apply if the participant at the time of termination of employment reaches age 62 or reaches age 55 with 10 years of credited service.

If the participant is not retirement eligible at the time of termination of employment with the company, accounts will be paid in a lump sum.

If the participant becomes disabled while employed, accounts are treated as retirement payments, regardless of reaching retirement eligibility.

Scheduled Distributions: Can be paid in a lump sum or annual installments up to five years.

The payment commencement year must be at least five years after the plan year when the schedule is established.

All scheduled distribution subaccounts that commence in a year after the participant’s termination of employment will be paid according to the participant’s retirement election for that plan year.

Fiscal 2023 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Potential Payments upon Change in Control

The Company Equity Incentive Plan (the “EIP”) includes change in control provisions that apply to participants’ outstanding equity awards and are intended to facilitate continuity of management in the event of a change in control (as defined in the EIP) (“CIC”).

The HCC Committee believes the EIP’s CIC provisions:

● Encourage executives to act in the best interest of shareholders when evaluating transactions that, without a CIC arrangement, could be personally detrimental;

● Keep executives focused on running the business in the face of definitive, contemplated, or rumored transactions;

● Protect the Company’s value by retaining key talent despite potential corporate changes;

● Protect the Company’s value after a CIC by including restrictive covenants (such as non-compete provisions) and a general release of claims in favor of the Company; and

● Help the Company remain competitive in its ability to attract and retain skilled executives.

Other Potential Payments Upon Other Qualifying Terminations

In addition, the NEOs and other Global Leadership Team members have qualifying termination terms and conditions which include other qualifying terminations.

No severance payments were made to Executive or Non-Executive Directors.

Fiscal 2023 Pay Versus Performance (PvP)

A key principle of the Company’s compensation philosophy, incorporated throughout our compensation policies and programs, is pay for performance. The Company leverages variable pay elements tied to challenging Company goals that are aligned to the business strategy, while ensuring no adverse risk taking by offering appropriate and competitive fixed pay elements. The following tables, supporting footnotes and narrative and graphic disclosure aim to demonstrate the link between compensation actually paid, per the SEC definition, for our NEOs to the Company’s performance, both in absolute terms and as compared to the market for the fiscal years 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

Specifically, this PvP section discusses the relationship between:

● “Compensation actually paid” (“CAP”) by the Company and the total compensation as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”);

● CAP and the Company’s financial performance (GAAP Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS); and

● The Company’s TSR and peer group TSR

Fiscal 2023 Pay Ratio

As required by and pursuant to SEC 17 C.F.R. § 229.402, the Company’s median employee total compensation as compared to Scott W. Wine, CEO, for 2023 has been calculated.

● The annual total compensation for our median employee was $46,282

● The annual total compensation of our CEO as reported in the Summary Compensation Table was $18,098,605.

● The ratio of Mr. Wine’s total compensation to our median employee’s total compensation for the 2023 fiscal year was approximately 391 to 1.

Our median employee was identified using the following methodology:

● We chose November 30, 2023, as the date to determine median employee compensation

● We included all full-time, part-time, temporary, and seasonal employees globally (excluding the CEO) for a total of 40,496 employees, 27.4% located in the U.S.A. and 72.6% outside the U.S.A.

● The Company did not exclude any employees when determining our employee population.

● We used annualized base pay as our consistently applied compensation measure to identify the median employee.

The CEO pay ratio reported above is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC 17 C.F.R. § 229.402 based on the methodologies and assumptions described above.

Compensation of Directors

The Board consists of a one-tier structure including Executive Directors (the Chair and the CEO roles) with managerial roles and Non-Executive board members with supervisory roles. The Board has collective responsibility for the strategy of the Company and is currently composed of nine Directors. The Board of the Company appointed the following internal committees: (i) an Audit Committee, (ii) an Environmental, Social and Governance Committee, and (iii) a Human Capital and Compensation Committee.

The CEO is also the primary NEO in this report whose compensation is disclosed in detail in the CD&A and corresponding compensation tables section. The Chair’s compensation is disclosed in this section with the Non-Executive Directors, although her compensation is structured differently, as indicated below.

We have structured the compensation of our Non-Executive Directors with the following objectives in mind:

-57-

 

● Offer competitive compensation to attract and retain highly qualified leaders to guide and govern a large, global, complex organization;

● Recognize the substantial investment of time and expertise necessary for the directors to discharge their duties;

● Ensure that compensation is easy to understand and is regarded positively by our shareholders and employees; and

● Comply with Dutch corporate governance best practices and comply with Dutch and U.S. SEC regulations.

The compensation of Non-Executive Directors is not dependent on the Company’s financial results. Non-Executive Directors do not receive benefits upon termination of their service as directors, nor any other benefit, perquisites. No meeting fees are paid, but Directors are reimbursed for expenses related to meeting attendance. For some countries, Non-Executive Directors and the Company are subject to social contributions on the fees earned.

The compensation of the Chair and Non-Executive Directors was reviewed by the HCC Committee in 2023.

-58-

 

Compensation for Non-Executive Directors

The compensation of Non-Executive Directors is governed by the Company’s Compensation Plan within the scope of the Company’s Remuneration Policy. The following chart describes compensation paid to Non-Executive Directors:

Non-Executive Director Compensation	Total
Annual cash retainer	$125,000
Additional retainer for Audit Committee member	$25,000
Additional retainer for Audit Committee Chair	$35,000
Additional retainer for member of other Board committees	$20,000
Additional retainer for Chair of other Board committees	$25,000

In 2019, upon the recommendation of the HCC Committee, the Board resolved to implement share ownership guidelines for the Non-Executive Directors. Applicable to Non-Executive Directors appointed or reappointed in April 2019 or thereafter, Non-Executive Directors are required to own Company shares in an aggregate amount of not less than 1x their annual retainer fee, which is $125,000, within 24 months of first appointment to the Board. The Non-Executive Directors are expected to hold Company shares as a long-term investment and, as such, are expected to hold their Company shares while on the Board and for an additional three months after their Board service terminates. All the Non-Executive Directors have currently met the guideline except for Mr. Kramer and Ms. Bastoni who have until April 2025 to meet the guideline.

Compensation for the Chair

The Chair role, held by Suzanne Heywood, is an Executive Director managerial board role, whose compensation differs from the Non-Executive supervisory board members. The Chair is not a NEO and therefore her compensation is not included in the CD&A section of this Notice of Meeting and Proxy Statement.

The following table summarizes the fundamental purpose and features of the Chair’s compensation elements for 2023:

Element and Purpose	Chair	Key Features
Base Salary Provide competitive salary; provide sufficient fixed pay to discourage inappropriate risk-taking		Fixed cash compensation Target at median reference for relevant benchmark for Chair only role Set taking into account role scope, market data, and an individual’s skills and prior experience Base salary for fiscal 2023 was set at $500,000 (fixed)
Long-term Equity Incentives (LTI) Encourage achievement of long-term strategic objectives; encourage share ownership and retention; motivate sustainable value creation; align Chair’s interests with those of shareholders		At-risk variable equity compensation Target awards combine PSUs (75%) and RSUs (25%) PSUs earned based on achieving quantifiable performance objectives, with the maximum number of shares that can be earned capped at 200% of target Chair award subject to a five-year holding period from the date of grant Subject to the recoupment policy (clawback)

(1) For the CEO, the amount includes a Company leased vehicle, health care and life insurances, and personal usage of aircraft. For the Chair, the amount includes personal use of a Company-provided car service, healthcare and life insurances and executive health assessment.

(2) The 2023 amount represents the bonus approved for the performance year and paid in 2024. See the Incentives section in the CD&A for details of the payout and in the “CEO’s 2023 Company Bonus Plan Performance Factor Calculations:” shown in the next table.

(3) The Chair does not participate in the annual cash incentive plan.

(4) The amounts represent each fiscal year’s share-based compensation (SBC) expense under applicable accounting standards relating to grants issued with a portion of the vesting period in the fiscal year. For 2023, the amount includes the 2023-2025, 2022-2024 and the 2021-2023 LTI plans. The performance factor assumption is 1.31 for the 2023-2025 LTI PSUs, 1.69 for the 2022-2024 LTI PSUs and 1.83 for the 2021-2023 LTI PSUs. This valuation differs from the equity value required to be reported in the Summary Compensation Table under the U.S. disclosure requirements (which is the aggregate grant date fair value of RSUs and PSUs granted during the fiscal year).

		2022	1,652,281	2,765,089	2,883,703

(5) The amount in 2023 represents the second of three annual installments of a cash award which will total $7.578M. This award replaces the CEO’s forfeited long-term awards which were not covered under the CNH 2021-2023 LTI awards. The third installment will equal $0.975M and is set to be paid in 2024. The 2024 payment was made in fiscal 2024 and will be reported in the Company’s executive compensation disclosure for fiscal 2024.

(6) For the CEO, the 2023 amount includes expense recorded for accruing retiree healthcare benefits and Company contributions into deferred retirement savings plans and U.S. Social Security and Medicare.

Internal Pay Ratios

When setting the Executive Directors’ compensation, the HCC Committee considers both the appropriate external benchmark as well as the internal pay ratios within the Company. Although the primary consideration is market competitiveness to attract and retain highly qualified senior executives in a large, global, complex organization, a baseline internal comparison is set, and trends are tracked. The trend in executives’ compensation is evaluated in relation to the trend in employees’ compensation.

In line with the guidance under the Dutch Code, the CEO Pay ratio and trend is disclosed in the annual executive compensation disclosure of the annual report. The basis of the pay ratio comparison uses the prevalent Dutch methodology of average employee compensation, including all labor costs. Consistent with prior years, CEO compensation and average employee compensation use the accounting value of equity awards. Under this methodology, the value of an equity award is allocated over the period between grant and vesting.

The CEO’s pay in 2023, 2022, and 2021 reflect the pay of Scott W. Wine, hired on January 4, 2021 with a highly competitive pay package and hiring incentive awards to attract him to join the Company and leave a highly paid CEO position at his former employer. Additionally, the incentive included one-time highly leveraged performance-based equity awards to align him with Company shareholders and provide upside potential reward linked to performance for the risk he assumed changing from a known company and industry to a much larger, globally diverse, and complex company in a different industry. His performance-based equity awards have experienced above target performance under Mr. Wine’s leadership across each of the metrics, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Industrial ROIC, and relative TSR. The 2023 value of the equity awards reflects achievement of PSUs for the 2022-2024 LTI PSUs. Additional explanation of the CEO’s pay in 2023 and 2022 can be referenced in the CD&A and the Pay versus Performance section of this Notice of Meeting and Proxy Statement.

The average employee compensation is the total personnel costs reported in the Annual Report, which excludes CEO compensation, divided by average year headcount reported in the Annual Report, less the CEO who is included in the total average year headcount. Over the five-year period, the average employee compensation has been impacted, due to changing business conditions, by shifts in the labor market in the different geographies.

The five-year trend of CEO pay versus average employee compensation is shown in the following table:

	2023			2022			2021			2020			2019			5-year   trend
CEO compensation ($000s)(1)		32,712	(1)		35,176	(2)		21,805	(2)		5,702	(3)		6,632	(4)	493%
Average Employee compensation (6) ($000s)		81.6			76.4			69.7			60.2			60.5		135%
CEO Pay Ratio		400			460			313			95			110		364%

 Notes:

(1) The compensation for the CEO is as reported in the Summary Remuneration table per the Dutch Code and Dutch Civil Code unless otherwise noted in subsequent footnotes. In 2023, the CEO’s compensation includes the value of the CEO’s performance-based equity awards representing each fiscal year’s share-based compensation (SBC) expense under applicable accounting standards relating to grants issued with a portion of the vesting period in the fiscal year. For 2023, the amount includes the 2023-2025, 2022-2024 and the 2021-2023 LTI plans. The performance factor assumption is 1.31 for the 2023-2025 LTI PSUs, 1.69 for the 2022-2024 LTI PSUs, and 1.82 for the 2021-2023 LTI PSUs. This valuation differs

-65-

 

from the equity value in the Summary Compensation Table under the Form 10-K requirements which applies the FMV at grant date of the awards granted during the fiscal year. Mr. Wine’s target total direct compensation which is fixed for five years is $17.1M, which would result in a CEO pay ratio of 224 and maximum payout opportunity of $29.5M, resulting in a ratio of 386.

(2) In 2022, the CEO’s compensation includes the value of the CEO’s performance-based equity awards with an expected 2x payout for the 2021-2023 LTI PSUs and 1.5x payout for the 2022-2023 LTI PSUs and the extraordinary compensation of $4.2 million related to the first installment of three of the hiring cash incentive which replaces the forfeited equity not covered under the 2021-2023 LTI awards. Mr. Wine’s target total direct compensation which is fixed for five years is $17.1M, which would result in a CEO pay ratio of 224 and maximum payout opportunity of $29.5M, resulting in a ratio of 386.

(3) The CEO, hired January 4, 2021, received a signing incentive to leave his prior employer before his 2020 bonus payout. The ratio excluding that one-off payment is 290. The equity expense included in the total CEO compensation is assuming target payout for the company performance share units. The actual payout is at the end of the performance period and will be determined in February 2024. The ratio assuming maximum payout for the company performance share units is 434.

(4) For 2020, data incorporates the compensation of the former CEO and the Acting CEO, as was reported in the Summary Remuneration table.

(5) For 2019, CEO compensation is consistent with the Summary Remuneration table include in the 2019 report, excluding the 2019 accounting value of the CEO’s one-time “Make Whole” award, which vested in September 2019. Including the 2019 Make Whole accounting value of $2.8M, the CEO pay ratio would be 156. The 2019 CEO Pay Ratio calculation includes $2.9M in accounting value related to the 2017-2019 PSUs that did not meet the threshold achievement for any payout and have been forfeited. The CEO Pay Ratio excluding the forfeited PSU award would be 62.

(6) Average employee compensation is derived from personnel costs reported under IFRS, which does not include personnel costs for the Executive Directors, divided by the average headcount. Personnel costs as disclosed with the Dutch Annual Report for 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019 are $3.331M, $2.976M, $4.695M, $3.820M, and $3.909M, respectively. Average number of employees as disclosed within the Dutch Annual Report for 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019 are 40,696, 38,966, 67,318, 63,482, and 64,596, respectively.

For perspective, the Company`s key performance metrics for the same past five years are shown below:

Selected Performance Data (1)(2)	2023		2022		2021		2020			2019		5-year    trend
Net Income – US GAAP ($ million)		2,039		2,039		1,801		(198	)		797	256%
Adjusted Diluted Earnings/(Loss) per share ($)		1.70		1.46		1.28		0.42			0.64	266%
Absolute Total Shareholder Return - Indexed from 2018(3)		152		208		199		128			118	129%

 Notes:

(1) Includes non-GAAP metrics derived from financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(2) Figures from 2019 to 2023 reflect the continuing operations scope of CNH, that is excluding the Iveco Group businesses results.

(3) Using dividend-adjusted closing prices at the ending of each year and indexing from a 2018 year end baseline (i.e., index at 100).

Under the leadership of the current CEO, the 2023 and 2022 operational results on numerous key metrics hit strong levels and shareholders earned a high cumulative two-year return. In the Pay versus Performance section, additional metrics are shown, including a comparison to the relative TSR of the S&P 500 Industrial index, a group of industrial peers. The investment in securing Mr. Wine’s expertise, vision and leadership has already paid off through the increased value delivered to shareholders and stakeholders.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board Practices

CNH is a company, incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands, initially formed from a business combination of Fiat Industrial S.p.A. and CNH Global N.V. consummated on September 29, 2013. On January 1, 2022, the On-Highway business, now known as Iveco Group was separated from the Company and became a public listed company independent from the Company through a demerger under Dutch Law. CNH qualifies as a foreign private issuer under the applicable rules of the SEC and its common shares are listed on the NYSE.

We are subject to, among other things, the laws of the Netherlands and the laws and regulations applicable to foreign private issuers in the U.S., the Dutch Code and the NYSE listing standards, which are of particular significance to our corporate governance. In accordance with the NYSE Listed Company Manual, we are permitted to follow home country practice with regard to certain corporate governance standards. In accordance with the article 3, paragraph 1 of the Dutch Decree on establishing further rules regarding the content of the annual report (Besluit van 23 december 2004 tot vaststelling van nadere voorschriften omtrent de inhoud van het jaarverslag, the Decree) (the “Board Report Further Content Decree”), in the Corporate Governance section of our Dutch Annual Report we include a statement relating to our compliance with the principles and best practices of the Dutch Code, including a description and motivation of deviations from the Dutch Code. The significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those required for domestic U.S. listed companies by the NYSE listing standards are described on our website.

The Board, as a one-tier board structure under Dutch law comprising both executive directors and non-executive directors, has collective responsibility for the strategy of the Company. During 2023, the Board reviewed and discussed with management, among other things, the Company’s strategy, and the sustainable long-term value creation strategies of the Company’s Agriculture, Construction and Financial Services segments and their deployment in the regions.

All Board members are expected to attend not less than 75% of all Board and Committee meetings. In addition, non-executive directors are limited to being on not more than four (4) boards of other public companies.

The Board met 5 times during 2023. During 2023, all incumbent directors attended 75% or more of the meetings of the Board and committees on which they served. Overall attendance at Board meetings was 98%.

At this time, we do not have a policy regarding the Board members’ attendance at annual general meetings of shareholders. Directors followed the 2023 Meeting via live webcast.

Board Composition and Leadership Structure

The positions of Chief Executive Officer and executive Chair of the Board are held by two different individuals (Scott W. Wine and Suzanne Heywood, respectively). This structure allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus on our day-to-day business while our Chair provides advice to and exercises executive oversight of management. The Board appointed Mr. Vagn Sørensen as Senior Non-Executive Director, the non-executive chair for purposes of Section 2:129a(1) of the Dutch Civil Code and best practice provision 5.1.3, and in compliance with best practice provision 2.1.9, of the Dutch Code. The Senior Non-Executive Director is responsible for the proper functioning of the Board and its Committees.

-74-

 

The non-executive directors believe that in consideration of the size of the Company, the complexity and specific characteristics of the segments in which it operates and the worldwide presence of its business, an adequate and diversified mix of skills, experience and cultures and other diversity factors are necessary prerequisites to achieve a Board having the appropriate diversification and collegial capabilities, also assured by an appropriate balance between the number of executive directors and non-executive directors. Independent Directors – identified as such both pursuant to NYSE and Dutch Code provisions – have an essential role in protecting the interests of all stakeholders and in the proper composition and functioning of the Board Committees, further described below. It is generally recognized that more diverse boards are more effective in performing their monitoring and advisory activities, due to the variety of professional experience, perspectives, insights, skills and connections to the outside world that diversity can add. Accordingly, the Board will continue to actively seek diverse candidates for possible appointment to the Board. In 2023, the Board adopted a Policy on Diversity and Inclusion as required by the Dutch Code. The Policy provides that in light of the size of the Company, the complexity and specific characteristics of the segments in which it operates and the geographic distribution of its businesses, the Board should be composed of individuals with skills, experience and cultural background, both general and specific, acquired in an international environment and relevant to an understanding of the macro-economy and global markets, more generally, as well as the industrial and financial sectors, more specifically. An appropriate and diversified mix of skills, professional backgrounds, and diversity factors (inclusive of age, nationality, religious or personal beliefs, political opinion or belonging to other protected groups) are fundamental to the proper functioning of the Board as a collegial body. In compliance with article 3d of the Board Report Further Content Decree, the Human Resources section of our Dutch Annual Report includes a statement regarding the proportional distribution of Board seats among males and females and target scheme policy in relation to the current number of male and female members on the Board and among certain selected senior managers as of December 31, 2023, the targets, the plan to reach such targets and, insofar targets are not met, the reasons therefore.

The ESG Committee periodically assesses the skills, experience and other attributes of the individual Directors with a view toward ensuring an appropriate level of diversity and ensuring the Directors have the necessary expertise to fulfil their respective duties. In 2023, the ESG Committee conducted such an assessment in connection with its evaluation of candidates to be recommended to the Board for re-appointment as a Director.

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The Board believes that Risk management is an important component of is integral to the achievement of its long-term business plan. The Board, directly and through its committees, is responsible for monitoring risks that affect CNH.

CNH’s Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) framework is designed to assist in the identification, evaluation and prioritization of business risks (including environmental, social, and governance risks), followed by a coordinated and balanced application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability or impact of adverse events or to maximize the realization of opportunities. CNH’s ERM processes are aligned with the HCC Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) published framework, as well as the principles of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, further adapted for specific business requirements by incorporating Company management knowledge and best practices identified by third-party risk consulting firms. CNH’s ERM framework has identified 43 primary enterprise risks, further broken down into 134 specific risk drivers. Primary risk drivers include a number of significant topics, such as business strategies and operations, competitive factors, social responsibility and environmental issues, and regulatory compliance. The process follows a bottom-up

analysis starting at the business unit level, with risk survey completion by business and function leaders worldwide, followed by cross-functional reviews, one-on-one interviews with the Global Leadership Team, presentations and risk assessment discussions with the Audit Committee of the Board, and review and discussion with the Board. Direct feedback received from each of these layers up to and including the Board is then used to identify and develop risk mitigation activities as necessary within the business or functional area, which are deployed by management.
