Item 8.01 Other Events

The CEO retirement policy (the “Policy”) of Allegion plc (the “Company”) states that the CEO must retire within a year immediately following his or her 65^th birthday and that the Board may, if they deem it appropriate and in the best interests of the Company, extend the CEO’s retirement effective date for up to three years immediately following the CEO’s 65^th birthday.

As permitted pursuant to the Policy, on December 5, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company decided to extend the retirement effective date that would apply to David D. Petratis, Chairman, President and CEO, for three years following his 65^th birthday.

Mr. Petratis is currently 62 years old and this extension is not an indication of Mr. Petratis’ intent to retire at a particular time.

Kirk Hachigian, Lead Director of the Board, stated, “Under Dave Petratis and his management team’s strong and effective leadership since 2013, Allegion has delivered sustained growth, made strategic investments in technology and innovation, and provided great shareholder returns. On behalf of the independent directors, I want to express our continued strong confidence in Dave Petratis as Chairman, President and CEO of Allegion. We look forward to seeing him lead this Company into the future.”

Mr. Petratis stated, “I’m energized about continuing to lead Allegion into the future, as we achieve our vision of ‘seamless access and a safer world.’ We remain committed to designing and manufacturing leading products that utilize cutting-edge technology and redefine security where people live, work and visit globally. I couldn’t be prouder of what our Company and our employees have accomplished since 2013 in terms of innovation, health and safety, as well as shareholder value - and I believe there’s a bright future ahead for Allegion.”
