Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On October 15, 2025, Ms. Rose Lee notified the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Honeywell International Inc. (the “Company”) that, in connection with the anticipated spin-off of the Company’s Advanced Materials business into an independent, publicly traded company (the “Spin‑Off”), she will be resigning from the Board, effective as of immediately prior to and conditioned upon the consummation of the Spin-Off. Ms. Lee’s decision to resign from the Board follows the earlier announcement that she will serve on the Board of Directors of Solstice Advanced Materials Inc. (“Solstice”), currently a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and is not the result of any disagreement relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices. Prior to the consummation of the Spin-Off, Ms. Lee will continue to serve on the Board. The Company thanks Ms. Lee for her service and for her significant contributions to the Company throughout her tenure.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On October 16, 2025, the Company announced that the Board has approved the Spin-Off and declared a pro rata distribution (the “Distribution”) of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Solstice common stock to the holders of Company common stock as of the close of business on October 17, 2025 (the “Record Date”). The Distribution will be effective as of 12:01 a.m. (New York City time) on October 30, 2025 (the “Distribution Date”). On the Distribution Date, holders of Company common stock will receive one share of Solstice common stock for every four shares of Company common stock they hold as of the close of business on the Record Date. Such holders of record of Company common stock will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares they own.

Completion of the Distribution is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, as set forth in the form of Separation and Distribution Agreement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as part of Solstice’s Registration Statement on Form 10, which was declared effective by the SEC on September 30, 2025.

A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

The information contained in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of Section 18. Furthermore, the information contained in this report shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing made under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as otherwise expressly stated in such filing.

Cautionary Statement About Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements are those that address activities, events, or developments that management intends, expects, projects, believes, or anticipates will or may occur in the future. They are based on management’s assumptions and assessments in light of past experience and trends, current economic and industry conditions, expected future developments, and other relevant factors, many of which are difficult to predict and outside of the Company’s control. They are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results, developments and business decisions may differ significantly from those envisaged by the Company’s forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to update or revise any of the Company’s forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable securities law. The Company’s forward-looking statements are also subject to material risks and uncertainties, including ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical risks, such as changes in or application of trade and tax laws and policies, including the impacts of tariffs and other trade barriers and restrictions, lower GDP growth or recession in the U.S. or globally, supply chain disruptions, capital markets volatility, inflation, and certain regional conflicts, that can affect the Company’s performance in both the near- and long-term. In addition, no assurance can be given that any plan, initiative, projection, goal, commitment, expectation, or prospect set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K can or will be achieved. Some of the important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those projected in any such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) the ability of the Company to effect the Spin-Off described above and to meet the conditions related thereto; (ii) the possibility that the Spin-Off will not be completed within the anticipated time period or at all; (iii) the possibility that the Spin-Off will not achieve its intended benefits; (iv) the impact of the Spin-Off on the Company’s businesses and the risk that the Spin-Off may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected, including the impact on the Company’s resources, systems, procedures and controls, diversion of management’s attention and the impact and possible disruption of existing relationships with regulators, customers, suppliers, employees and other business counterparties; (v) the possibility of disruption,

including disputes, litigation or unanticipated costs, in connection with the Spin-Off; (vi) the uncertainty of the expected financial performance of the Company or Solstice following completion of the Spin-Off; (vii) negative effects of the announcement or pendency of the Spin-Off on the market price of the Company’s securities and/or on the financial performance of the Company; (viii) the ability to achieve anticipated capital structures in connection with the Spin-Off, including the future availability of credit and factors that may affect such availability; (ix) the ability to achieve anticipated credit ratings in connection with the Spin-Off; (x) the ability to achieve anticipated tax treatments in connection with the Spin-Off and future, if any, divestitures, mergers, acquisitions and other portfolio changes and the impact of changes in relevant tax and other laws; and (xi) the failure to realize expected benefits and effectively manage and achieve anticipated synergies and operational efficiencies in connection with the Spin-Off and completed and future, if any, divestitures, mergers, acquisitions, and other portfolio management, productivity and infrastructure actions. These forward-looking statements should be considered in light of the information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the SEC. Any forward-looking plans described herein are not final and may be modified or abandoned at any time.
