On December 8, 2020, Allegion plc (the “Company”) announced a change in its operating segments from three (Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific) to two, Allegion Americas and Allegion International, effective January 1, 2021. The Company’s soon-to-be created Allegion International segment will combine the EMEA and Asia Pacific regions.

In light of this expected change, the Board of Directors of the Company has appointed Tim Eckersley, currently Senior Vice President – Americas, to Senior Vice President – Allegion International, effective January 1, 2021. The Company expects to announce Mr. Eckersley’s successor to lead the Americas business at a later date. In the interim, David Petratis, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, will temporarily step in to lead the Americas business, in addition to his existing responsibilities.

Further, Lucia Veiga Moretti, Senior Vice President – EMEA, and the Company have mutually agreed that she will be leaving the Company effective March 31, 2021. Ms. Moretti will work with Mr. Eckersley to ensure a smooth transition prior to her departure date.
