Letter from our Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer
Dear Fellow Stockholder:
I am pleased to present the 2026 Allison Transmission Holdings, Inc., or Allison, proxy statement, which contains information about Allison’s strategic direction, corporate responsibility and sustainability efforts, executive compensation, governance and Board of Directors’ composition. It is my pleasure, along with our Board of Directors, or Board, to invite you to the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, or the Annual Meeting, of Allison. This year’s Annual Meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 6, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time in a virtual format only, via live webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ALSN2026. There will not be a physical location for our Annual Meeting, and you will not be able to attend the meeting in person.
You will find information regarding the business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting in the attached Notice of 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement, including information you should consider when you vote your shares. We are sending substantially all of our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, our 2025 Annual Report to Stockholders and other proxy materials via the Internet. This electronic process gives you fast, convenient access to the materials, diminishes our impact on the environment and reduces our printing and mailing costs. A paper copy of these materials can be requested using one of the methods described in the materials.
Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, your vote is important, and we encourage you to vote promptly. You may vote your shares by telephone, via the Internet or, if you received a paper copy of the proxy materials, by signing, dating and returning your proxy card or voting instruction form.
Our Board unanimously recommends that you vote:
(1)
“FOR” the election of the nine director nominees named in this proxy statement;
(2)
“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026; and
(3)
“FOR” the approval of, in an advisory non-binding vote, the compensation paid to our named executive officers.
Although 2025 presented meaningful macroeconomic challenges, Allison remained disciplined and focused on the factors within our control. With a prioritization of cost management and execution aligned with end markets demand conditions, Allison’s full year results demonstrated the resilient earnings power of our business in difficult and uncertain operating environments, achieving Net Income as a percent of Net Sales of 20.7% and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 37.5%, the latter of which was up 140 basis points on a year-over-year basis on lower volume. Highlights for the year also included record revenue in our Outside North America On-Highway end market, the fifth consecutive year of record revenues in that end market, and continued strength in our Defense end market, which was up 26 percent year-over-year. We also continued to invest in product development and innovations across our product portfolio to advance the next generation of commercial duty vehicle propulsion technologies that will improve fuel efficiency and facilitate the transition to zero emissions, and in early 2026, we announced the completion of our acquisition of the Off-Highway Drive and Motion Systems business of Dana Incorporated. Finally, we returned capital to our stockholders in 2025 by increasing our quarterly dividend for the sixth consecutive year and repurchasing approximately $328 million of our shares of common stock, representing 4 percent of our shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2024.
I appreciate your continued interest in and support of our Company and look forward to speaking to you at the Annual Meeting.
Sincerely,

David S. Graziosi
Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer

Corporate Governance
Corporate Governance Approach and Highlights
Our Board believes that good corporate governance is important to ensure our business is managed for the long-term benefit of our stockholders. We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct that applies to all directors, officers and other employees. Our Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines, which, in conjunction with our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, our Amended and Restated Bylaws, or Bylaws, and our Board committee charters, form the framework for our corporate governance. The current version of the Code of Business Conduct, our Board’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and the charters for each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Finance Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are available in the Investor Relations section of our website at ir.allisontransmission.com. We will post on the Investor Relations section of our website any amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of the Code of Business Conduct that applies to any of our directors or executive officers. Our Board regularly reviews corporate governance developments and updates its Corporate Governance Guidelines, committee charters and key practices as warranted.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Governance Principles
Corporate Governance Practice
Appropriate Board Composition
✔ 
Our Board and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee annually assess the attributes, experience and background of our directors, providing us with a diverse range of perspectives
✔ 
62% of our independent directors have been appointed within the last four years, each adding a fresh perspective and unique experience and expertise to the Board
✔ 
Independent directors may not stand for re-election after their 75th birthdays, absent unanimous Board approval based on the director’s contributions and expertise
Risk Mitigation and Alignment of Interests
✔ 
We have robust share ownership guidelines for executive officers
✔ 
We have adopted a clawback policy applicable to cash and equity incentive-based compensation that complies with Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and NYSE requirements
✔ 
The Allison Insider Trading Policy expressly prohibits both directors and executive officers from engaging in any pledging or hedging involving our common stock
Stockholder Rights
✔ 
Our Bylaws provide for proxy access for director nominees (stockholders holding at least 3% of our outstanding common stock continuously for three years may nominate directors so long as the directors nominated via proxy access do not exceed 25% of the number of directors then serving)
✔ 
No stockholder rights plan (commonly known as a “poison pill”)
Board Leadership Structure
Our Board re-evaluates our leadership structure on an ongoing basis and may change it as circumstances warrant. At present, David S. Graziosi, our President and Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, serves as Chair of the Board. Because Mr. Graziosi is not independent, our Board has designated Philip J. Christman to serve as our Lead Independent Director. In such position, the Lead Independent Director serves as chair of executive sessions of the independent directors, calls meetings of the independent directors and communicates the results of such meetings to the Chair of the Board, facilitates communication and serves as a liaison between the independent directors and the Chair of the Board and between the independent directors and management, reviews and approves, in connection with the Chair of the Board, all agendas for meetings of the Board and communicates with major stockholders upon request. Our Board believes that Mr. Graziosi filling the role of Chair of the Board, while also having a Lead Independent Director with the powers and responsibilities outlined above, is an appropriate and efficient leadership structure.
Board Role in Risk Oversight
While risk management is primarily the responsibility of our management, our Board provides overall risk oversight, focusing on the most significant risks facing us. Our Board oversees the risk management processes that have been designed and are implemented by our executives to determine whether those processes are functioning as intended and are consistent with our business and strategy. Our Board executes its oversight responsibility for risk management directly and through its committees. In addition, our Lead Independent Director aids in the independent oversight of management.
The Audit Committee is specifically tasked with overseeing our compliance with legal, ethical and regulatory requirements, oversight of cybersecurity risks, discussing our major financial risk exposures, including our risk assessment and risk management processes, with management and receiving information on material legal and regulatory affairs. Our Chief Accounting Officer coordinates our enterprise risk management process, and the Audit Committee and full Board receive regular reports regarding our enterprise risk management process. The Compensation Committee is tasked with overseeing our compensation-related risk assessment. See “Executive Compensation—Compensation-Related Risk Assessment” below. Our Board’s other committees oversee risks associated with their respective areas of responsibility.

2026 PROXY STATEMENT

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The full Board considers specific risk topics, including risk-related issues pertaining to laws and regulations enforced by United States and foreign government regulators, risks associated with our business plan, strategy and capital structure, risks related to the competitive market in which we operate, and risks related to interruption of our business due to natural disasters, power outages, labor strikes and public health crises such as pandemics and epidemics or the like. In addition, our Board receives reports from members of our management that include discussions of the risks and exposures involved with their respective areas of responsibility. Further, our Board is routinely informed of developments that could affect our risk profile or other aspects of our business.
Director Independence
Our Board’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are available on our website as described above, require that our Board be comprised of a majority of directors who qualify as independent directors under the NYSE Listed Company Manual, or the NYSE Manual. Our Board has determined that each of our non-employee directors, Judy L. Altmaier, D. Scott Barbour, Philip J. Christman, David C. Everitt, Carolann I. Haznedar, Sasha Ostojic, Gustave F. Perna and Krishna Shivram, is independent under the NYSE Manual. Our Board has determined that director David S. Graziosi, who is currently our employee, is not independent.
Majority Vote Standard for Election of Directors
Our Bylaws require directors to be elected by the majority of the votes cast with respect to that director in uncontested elections (the number of shares voted “for” a director must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that director). In a contested election (a situation in which the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected), the standard for election of directors will be a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. If a nominee who is serving as a director is not elected at the Annual Meeting, under Delaware law the director would continue to serve on the Board as a “holdover director.” Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, any director who fails to be elected must tender his or her unconditional resignation to the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee would then make a recommendation to the Board whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board will act on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and the rationale behind it within 90 days from the date the election results are certified. The director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in the Board’s decision. If a nominee who was not already serving as a director is not elected at the Annual Meeting, under Delaware law that nominee would not become a director and would not serve on the Board as a “holdover director.”
Nominations for Directors
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers director nominees recommended by stockholders using the same criteria to evaluate candidates received from other sources. See “—Board Composition and Refreshment” below. A stockholder who wishes to recommend a director candidate for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee should send the recommendation to our Secretary at One Allison Way, Indianapolis, Indiana 46222, who will then forward it to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Any recommendation should include a description of the candidate’s qualifications for Board service, the candidate’s written consent to be considered for nomination and to serve if nominated and elected and addresses and telephone numbers for contacting the stockholder and the candidate for more information. A stockholder who wishes to nominate an individual as a candidate for election at an annual meeting, rather than recommend the individual to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as a nominee, or to include a director nominee in our proxy statement, must comply with the advance notice requirements or the proxy access requirements set forth in our Bylaws and provide the information required by our Bylaws regarding the nominee, the stockholder of record and the beneficial owner, if any. See “Stockholder Proposals at 2027 Annual Meeting” for more information on these procedures.
Board Composition and Refreshment
Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee annually performs an assessment of the skills and the experience needed to provide robust independent oversight of management. Our Board recommends candidates based on the diversity of their business or professional experiences, backgrounds, talents and perspectives. Our Board considers diversity in the context of the Board as a whole and takes into account the background,

experience, including financial expertise, educational history and professional history of each current and prospective director. Our Board believes this process will best facilitate Board deliberations that reflect a broad range of perspectives and lead to a more effective decision-making process.
Director Qualifications. In considering candidates for our Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers the entirety of each candidate’s credentials and does not have any specific minimum qualifications that must be met by a committee-recommended nominee, but may consider the following criteria, among others: personal and professional integrity, ethics and values; experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly-held company; experience in our industry and with relevant social policy concerns; experience as a board member of another publicly-held company; academic expertise in an area of our operations; practical and mature business judgment, including the ability to make independent analytical inquiries; ownership of our stock and the nominee’s background. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and our Board evaluate each individual in the context of our Board as a whole, with the objective of assembling a group that can best perpetuate the success of the business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience in these various areas.
The following chart highlights the specific skills, knowledge and experience of each of our directors who are nominated for reelection at the Annual Meeting. A lack of a mark does not mean the director nominee does not possess that qualification or skill; rather, a mark indicates a specific area of focus or expertise on which our Board relies most heavily. Each director nominee’s biography describes these qualifications and relevant experience in more detail.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Balanced Diversity of Tenure. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers Board tenure when evaluating the effectiveness and composition of the Board. Instead of applying term limits, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee conducts an annual evaluation of the effectiveness of each director including his or her primary occupation and whether he or she has the requisite time to commit to serve on the Board.
As a result of its rigorous process, the Board’s current average director tenure is approximately 5.5 years, which is well below the average director tenure in 2025 for the companies in the S&P 500 Index. More importantly, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that the Board’s tenure distribution, as reflected in the chart below, provides an appropriate balance of fresh perspective and institutional knowledge that informs the discussions and decisions of the Board as well as its key committees.
Tenure Diversity Matrix


Director Availability including Service on Other Public Company Boards. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers each director’s service on other boards, both public and private. We also have a policy, included in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, that limits non-executive directors from serving on more than five total public company boards and directors who are employees of the Company from serving on more than two total public company boards.
Directors are required to notify the chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee before being elected or appointed to any public company board on which they did not serve when appointed to our Board. As part of its assessment, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also confirms that each director’s service on other boards and/or committees is consistent with the Allison Code of Business Conduct and our other conflict of interest policies.
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines also require each director, including any director who is currently an officer or employee of the Company, who resigns or materially changes his or her position with his or her employer or who becomes aware of circumstances that may adversely reflect upon the director or the Company, to notify the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of such circumstances.
Stockholder Communication with our Board
Our Board has implemented a process whereby our stockholders and all interested parties may send communications to our Board’s attention. Any stockholder or interested party desiring to communicate with our Board, or one or more specified members thereof, should communicate (i) in writing addressed to Allison Transmission Holdings, Inc., Board of Directors, Attention: Secretary, One Allison Way, Indianapolis, Indiana 46222, (ii) via email at stockholders@allisontransmission.com or (iii) via telephone at (317) 242-4425. Our Board has instructed our Secretary to promptly forward all such communications to the specified addressees thereof. With respect to correspondence received by the Company that is addressed to one or more directors, the Board has requested that the following items not be distributed to directors because they generally fall into the purview of management, rather than the Board: junk mail and mass mailings, service complaints and inquiries, resumés and other forms of job inquiries, solicitations for charitable donations, surveys, business solicitations and advertisements.

Our Commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility
Our Vision
We believe that sound corporate citizenship and attention to governance and environmental principles are essential to our success and creating long-term value for our stockholders. We are committed to operating with integrity, contributing to the local communities in which we live and work, promoting equality of opportunity, developing our employees and focusing on being thoughtful environmental stewards.
Board Oversight and Implementation
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing our positions on, and policies with respect to, our risks relating to our corporate governance and our reputational and environmental efforts. To support the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s responsibility, we have established an internal corporate social responsibility, or CSR, working group to oversee Allison’s policies, initiatives and reporting relative to CSR. This working group is a cross-functional team from various areas of the Company, including legal and compliance, enterprise risk management, investor relations, procurement, product engineering, marketing, sales and service, human resources and operations. The working group’s activities are coordinated by the Director of Sustainability, who reports directly to the Chief Legal Officer.
Below are some of the ways in which we demonstrated our commitment to responsible corporate governance, the environment and our employees and communities in 2025.
Governance
As the people behind the product, we seek to hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards in everything that we do. Quality solutions come from quality people, and integrity is crucial. The Allison Code of Business Conduct emphasizes the importance of driving integrity worldwide by focusing on five pillars: personal integrity, integrity in the workplace, integrity in the marketplace, integrity in our societies and communities and integrity toward the environment. The Code of Business Conduct applies to all our employees, officers and directors. The Code of Business Conduct includes expectations regarding issues such as fair treatment and non-discrimination, health and safety, anti-corruption, fair competition, insider trading, environmental protection and child labor and modern slavery. All of our global salaried employees participate in annual training on the Code of Business Conduct.
Our Supplier Code of Conduct requires our suppliers to act consistently with our approach to integrity, responsible sourcing and supply chain management. The Supplier Code of Conduct addresses, among other things, human rights, health and safety, the environment and business integrity.
We have also adopted the Allison Insider Trading Policy and the Addendum to Insider Trading Policy governing the purchase, sale, or other dispositions of our securities by our directors, officers and employees that we believe is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and the NYSE listing standards applicable to us. A copy of our insider trading policy is filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Reputational
Our People. At Allison, we believe in the power of our people, our processes and our products. Our people continue to be one of the most critical components in our continued success, the delivery of our values and the execution of our growth initiatives. We recognize the power of different thought, accept and respect each individual, and strive to create a workplace where all employees can reach their full potential, driving innovation and business results.
We hire, promote, train and compensate our employees based on merit, experience, or other work-related criteria. We value the wide range of backgrounds of our employees. We view our diversity as a strength and strive to create work environments that accept differences while promoting productivity and teamwork. All employees are responsible for creating and maintaining a productive work environment where the dignity of all employees is respected. Throughout the recent years, our efforts to promote a respectful workplace have included providing training; utilizing non-traditional recruiting sources, such as organizations focused on veterans and people with

disabilities, diverse professional organizations and schools with diverse student bodies; organizing virtual mentoring programs to connect employees from different locations, departments and backgrounds; and creating multicultural, emerging professionals and veterans employee resource groups that are open to all.
Our overriding priority is to protect the health and safety of each employee. As part of our health and safety programs, Allison is certified in ISO 45001, Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems. ISO 45001 is the only internationally recognized Safety Management System. Employees participate in training focused on health and safety, and metrics are reviewed regularly, including the number of injury incidents that occur and those incidents that result in lost work days. For 2025, we achieved an overall recordable rate of 0.99 at our global locations, meaning that for every 100 employees, 0.99 employees incurred an injury that resulted in recordable medical treatment, and the number of lost work days was 0.30 at our global locations, meaning that for every 100 employees, 0.30 individuals experienced an incident that resulted in days away from work.
Our Communities. Whether we are reducing trash waste, improving our facilities for energy efficiency, reducing fuel consumption, decreasing emissions through our products or volunteering for any number of causes, Allison wants to improve the lives of people around the world. We continue to focus our core philanthropic efforts on giving back to communities through advancing education, particularly in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM); promoting equality of opportunity; engaging our employees in support of their commitment to making a difference; and supporting emergency relief organizations. Since 2023, we have utilized Cares, a CSR program that facilitates the connection between our employees and non-profit organizations through volunteering and employee donation matching. Through Cares, approximately 800 of our employees supported over 130 community, professional and educational organizations in our communities through donations or volunteering. Of those employees, approximately 400 employees volunteered a total of 2,400 hours of their time and expertise, and approximately 400 employees contributed financial resources to give back to their communities. Our corporate philanthropic efforts in our communities gave us the opportunity to support more than 60 non-profit organizations, 75% of which were focused on education and STEM causes. For example, in 2025, we partnered with a non-profit organization and created STEM kits to be distributed to local schools. We also continue to support blood drives and sanitation and school infrastructure projects globally.
Environmental
Our propulsion solutions, including fully automatic transmissions and hybrid propulsion solutions, enable users to reduce their impact on the environment compared to alternative technologies through increased fuel efficiency and lower emissions. Our products are also compatible with vehicles and applications that utilize alternative fuels, such as natural gas.
In addition, our Global Environmental Policy consists of three critical elements:
Adherence to the Law—This is paramount to how we do business. We seek to meet or exceed environmental standards and promote transparency in all of our activities.
Pollution Prevention—We actively work with local communities, government agencies and environmental experts to develop cohesive anti-pollution programs for our facilities.
Continuous Improvement—Whether it relates to our products, our manufacturing practices or our environmental practices, we seek improvement in everything we do.
We utilize ISO 14001 processes and procedures to manage our environmental management system. Every year since 2009, we have achieved “landfill-free” certification at our global headquarters and manufacturing operations in Indianapolis and have updated our facilities with more energy-efficient equipment. In addition, we have implemented programs to reduce energy and water intensity at our Lewisburg, Tennessee, Szentgotthárd, Hungary and Chennai, India manufacturing facilities.

Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions
Our Board has adopted a written policy for the evaluation of, and the approval, disapproval, and monitoring of, transactions involving us and “related persons.” For purposes of the policy, “related persons” include our executive officers, directors and director nominees and their immediate family members and stockholders owning five percent or more of our outstanding common stock and their immediate family members.
The policy covers any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which we were or are to be a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and a related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Pursuant to this policy, our management presents to our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee each proposed related person transaction, including all relevant facts and circumstances relating thereto. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee then:
reviews the relevant facts and circumstances of each related person transaction, including if the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm’s length dealings with an unrelated third party, if the transaction is in the best interests of the Company and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction; and
takes into account the conflicts of interest and corporate opportunity provisions of our Code of Business Conduct.
All related person transactions may only be consummated if our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has approved or ratified such transaction in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the policy. Certain types of transactions have been pre-approved by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee under the policy. These pre-approved transactions include:
certain employment and compensation arrangements;
transactions in the ordinary course of business where the related person’s interest arises only from:
(i) his or her position as a director of another entity that is party to the transaction;
(ii) an equity interest of less than 10% in another entity that is party to the transaction; or
(iii) a limited partnership interest of less than 10% in another entity that is party to the transaction, subject to certain limitations;
transactions in the ordinary course of business where the interest of the related person arises solely from the ownership of a class of equity securities in our Company where all holders of such class of equity securities will receive the same benefit on a pro rata basis; and
transactions determined by competitive bids.
No director may participate in the approval of a related person transaction for which he or she is a related person.
Based on information known to us, we believe there were no transactions since January 1, 2025 in which we were or are to be a participant, in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000, and in which any director, director nominee, executive officer, holder of more than five percent of our common stock at the time of the transaction or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Meetings and Committees of our Board
Board Composition
Our Board currently consists of nine members. David S. Graziosi, our President and CEO, is Chair of the Board and Philip J. Christman is Lead Independent Director. The exact number of members on our Board may be modified from time to time exclusively by resolution of our Board.
Board Meetings, Attendance and Executive Sessions
Our Board meets on a regularly scheduled basis during the year to review significant developments affecting us and to act on matters requiring Board approval. It also holds special meetings when an important matter requires Board action between scheduled meetings. Members of senior management regularly attend meetings of our Board and its committees to report on and discuss their areas of responsibility. Directors are expected to attend Board meetings, meetings of committees on which they serve and stockholder meetings. During 2025, our Board held five meetings and the committees of our Board, in aggregate, held a total of 23 meetings. Each of our current directors attended 75% or more of the meetings of our Board and the committees on which he or she served that were held during the period for which he or she was a director or committee member.
While we do not have a formal policy requiring directors to attend the annual meeting of stockholders, all of our directors attended the 2025 virtual annual meeting of stockholders.
Each regularly scheduled Board meeting normally concludes with a session between our CEO and the other directors. This provides a platform for discussions outside the presence of the non-Board management attendees, as well as an opportunity for the independent directors to go into executive session (without the Chair and CEO) if requested by any director. The independent directors may meet in executive session, without the Chair and CEO, at any time, and are scheduled for such independent executive sessions at each regularly scheduled Board meeting. As Lead Independent Director, Mr. Christman presides at executive sessions of independent directors.
Board Committees
Our Board directs the management of our business and affairs as provided by Delaware law and conducts its business through meetings of our Board and four standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Finance Committee. In addition, from time to time, other committees may be established under the direction of our Board when necessary to address specific issues. The following table shows the current membership of each Board committee and the number of meetings held during 2025:

The Audit Committee
The Audit Committee oversees our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of our consolidated financial statements provided by us to any governmental body or the public and prepares the report of the Audit Committee included under “Report of the Audit Committee” in this proxy statement. The Audit Committee also assists our Board in discharging its oversight responsibilities regarding the integrity of our consolidated financial statements, our compliance with legal, ethical and regulatory requirements, oversight of cybersecurity risks, the qualifications and independence of our independent registered public accounting firm and the performance of our internal audit function. The Audit Committee has sole authority to appoint, subject to stockholder ratification, or replace our independent registered public accounting firm and pre-approves the auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm, including the fees and terms thereof. The Audit Committee reviews and discusses with management and our independent registered public accounting firm our annual audited consolidated financial statements, our quarterly earnings releases and financial statements and significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of our financial statements. The charter of the Audit Committee requires that each member meet the independence and experience requirements of the NYSE, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Our Board has determined that Krishna Shivram qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by SEC rules.
The Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee (i) reviews, approves and/or oversees compensation provided to our executive officers and employees and all agreements and arrangements with respect thereto, (ii) establishes our general compensation policies and (iii) reviews, approves and/or oversees the administration of our employee benefits plans and makes recommendations for stockholder approval of such plans, as applicable.
The Compensation Committee may take into consideration the recommendations of our CEO with respect to the compensation of our other executive officers. The Compensation Committee also discusses with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, and, if appropriate, recommends its inclusion in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and proxy statement and issues the report on its activities which appears under “Executive Compensation—Compensation Committee Report” in this proxy statement. The charter of the Compensation Committee requires that each member meet the independence requirements of the NYSE, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC.
The Compensation Committee has authority to retain the advice and assistance of independent counsel, compensation consultants or other experts or consultants. For 2025, the Compensation Committee retained Semler Brossy Consulting Group, LLC, or Semler Brossy, as its compensation consultant. See “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—2025 Compensation Decisions—Role of Compensation Consultant” for a description of the services provided to the Compensation Committee by Semler Brossy.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists our Board in discharging our Board’s responsibilities regarding identifying qualified candidates to become Board members, selecting nominees for election as directors at our annual meetings of stockholders, selecting candidates to fill any vacancies on our Board and overseeing the annual evaluation of our Board and CEO succession planning. See “Corporate Governance—Nominations for Directors” and “—Board Composition and Refreshment” above for additional information.

Proposal No. 2—To ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026
The Audit Committee has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or PwC, as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026. Stockholders have the opportunity to ratify that selection in an advisory non-binding vote.
The Audit Committee approves all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided to us by PwC prior to commencement of services. The Audit Committee has delegated to the Chair of the Audit Committee the authority to approve specific services up to specified individual and aggregate fee amounts. These approval decisions are presented to the full Audit Committee at the next scheduled meeting after such approvals are made.
We have incurred fees for services from PwC in the below-indicated amounts for the following categories of services for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively:
 
2025
2024
Audit Fees(1)

Audit-Related Fees(2)
$30,000
Tax Fees
All Other Fees
Total Fees
$2,394,250
$1,377,504
(1)
Audit Fees include fees and expenses for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements, for the review of quarterly financial statements, for comfort letters issued in connection with securities offerings, and for services that generally only the principal auditor reasonably can provide, such as statutory and other subsidiary audits.
(2)
Audit-Related Fees include fees for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our consolidated financial statements and are not reported under Audit Fees, such as sustainability assurance services.
We expect that representatives of PwC will be present at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
The Audit Committee of our Board has the sole authority to appoint, replace, compensate and oversee the independent auditor, and shall pre-approve the fees and other terms of all engagements for audit and non-audit services provided by the independent auditor. In 2025, all of the Company’s audit fees paid to the independent auditor were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
If the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote on this proposal represented virtually or by proxy do not approve the proposal, the Audit Committee will reconsider its choice, taking into consideration the views of the stockholders, and may, but will not be required to, appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm.
Our Board unanimously recommends that stockholders vote FOR the ratification of the appointment
of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026.

Report of the Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring the integrity of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the qualifications, performance and independence of the independent registered public accounting firm, the performance of the Company’s internal auditor and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm.
Management is responsible for the financial reporting process, including the system of internal control, for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and for management’s report on internal control over financial reporting. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing the consolidated financial statements and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, as well as auditing the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to oversee and review the financial reporting process and to review and discuss management’s report on internal control over financial reporting. We are not, however, professionally engaged in the practice of accounting or auditing and do not provide any expert or other special assurance as to such consolidated financial statements concerning compliance with laws, regulations or accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or as to the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. We rely, without independent verification, on the information provided to us and on the representations made by management and the independent registered public accounting firm.
We held eight meetings during 2025. The meetings were designed, among other things, to facilitate and encourage communication among the committee, management, the internal auditor and the independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or PwC.
We discussed with the internal auditor and PwC the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. We met with the internal auditor and PwC, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations and their evaluations of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. We reviewed and discussed the Company’s compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
We discussed with management the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures, including risk assessment and risk management processes.
We reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 with management, the internal auditor and PwC, and reviewed and discussed with management, the internal auditor and PwC management’s report on internal control over financial reporting. We reviewed PwC’s report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which indicated that the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position and results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and PwC’s audit of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. We also discussed with management, the internal auditor and PwC the process used to support certifications by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to accompany the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC and the process used to support management’s report on internal control over financial reporting.
We also discussed with PwC all matters required to be discussed by their professional standards, including, among other things, matters related to the conduct of the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, and the SEC.
PwC provided us with the written disclosure and the letter required by applicable PCAOB requirements and represented that PwC is independent from the Company. We discussed with PwC its independence from the Company.

Proposal No. 3—An advisory non-binding vote to approve the compensation
paid to our named executive officers
Our executive compensation program is designed to align executive pay with our performance on both short-term and long-term bases, link executive pay to specific, measurable results intended to create value for stockholders and utilize compensation as a tool to assist us in attracting and retaining the high-caliber executives that we believe are critical to our long-term success.
The Compensation Discussion and Analysis in this proxy statement describes our executive compensation program and the decisions made by the Compensation Committee during 2025 in more detail. We are requesting that stockholders cast a non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation paid to our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement.
Accordingly, we recommend that our stockholders vote FOR the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.”
As an advisory vote, this resolution will not be binding on us, our Board or our Compensation Committee. However, we expect that the Compensation Committee, which is responsible for designing and administering our executive compensation programs, will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers. This vote is being presented as required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Section 14A of the Exchange Act.
Our Board unanimously recommends that stockholders vote FOR the advisory resolution to approve the compensation paid to our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement.

Executive Compensation
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Executive Summary
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis provides an overview and analysis of (i) the elements comprising our compensation program for our named executive officers, who we refer to in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis as our NEOs; (ii) the material 2025 compensation decisions made under that program and reflected in the executive compensation tables that follow this Compensation Discussion and Analysis; and (iii) the material factors considered in making those decisions.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, our NEOs were:
David S. Graziosi, Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer;
Scott A. Mell, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer;1
G. Frederick Bohley, Chief Operating Officer;1
John M. Coll, Senior Vice President, Global Marketing, Sales and Service; and
Eric C. Scroggins, Vice President, General Counsel and Assistant Secretary.
1
Mr. Mell joined Allison and began serving as our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer on April 14, 2025. Prior to that, Mr. Bohley served as our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer.
The titles listed above for Mr. Bohley, Mr. Coll and Mr. Scroggins were their titles as of December 31, 2025. Following the acquisition of Dana’s Off-Highway Drive and Motion Systems business on January 1, 2026 (the “Acquisition”), their titles changed and are now as follows:
G. Frederick Bohley, President and Business Unit Leader Allison Transmission and Allison Chief Operating Officer;
John M. Coll, Senior Vice President, Allison Transmission Global Marketing, Sales & Service & Allison Corporate & Government Affairs; and
Eric C. Scroggins, Chief Legal Officer and Assistant Secretary.
The titles referenced throughout the rest of this Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the tables that follow are their current titles.
We intend to provide our NEOs with compensation that is largely performance based. Our executive compensation program is designed to align executive pay with our performance on both short-term and long-term bases, link executive pay to specific, measurable results intended to create value for stockholders and utilize compensation as a tool to assist us in attracting and retaining the high-caliber executives that we believe are critical to our long-term success.
2025 Business Results and Implications for Compensation. During 2025, Allison accomplished the following:
achieved Revenue of $3,010 million, which did not meet the minimum level of performance for purposes of our annual cash incentive bonus compensation plan, which we refer to as IComp;
generated Net income of $623 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $1,130 million and Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales of 37.5%, with Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales exceeding our target level of performance for IComp; and
delivered Net cash provided by operating activities of $836 million and Adjusted free cash flow of $661 million, with Adjusted free cash flow exceeding the minimum level of performance for IComp. (For purposes of calculating IComp, our reported Adjusted free cash flow is subject to further adjustments as discussed below under “—2025 Compensation Decisions—Annual Performance-Based Compensation (IComp)”).
26
2026 PROXY STATEMENT

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As a result of these accomplishments, our 2025 performance for purposes of IComp resulted in a weighted payout of 65.38% of target.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales and Adjusted free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. For information about how we define these measures and where to find a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measures, refer to the discussion below under the heading “—2025 Compensation Decisions—Annual Performance-Based Compensation (IComp).”
In addition, our operational performance allowed us to continue investing in our business while simultaneously returning value to stockholders, as demonstrated by the following actions taken during 2025:
returning capital to stockholders by repurchasing approximately $328 million of our shares of common stock, or over 4 percent of our outstanding shares of common stock as of December 31, 2024, and paying approximately $91 million in cash dividends to stockholders;
investing in the ongoing expansion of our technology capabilities, as well as product development focused on value propositions that address challenges, including improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions; and
completing the Acquisition, expanding our portfolio of drivetrain and propulsion solutions and broadening our participation in off-highway end markets.
In addition to our annual incentive plan results in 2025, our three-year absolute total stockholder return, or TSR, for the period from 2023 through 2025 was 138.5%, which was at the 74th percentile of our peer group and resulted in a payout of 196% of target for our 2023-2025 performance units granted to Messrs. Graziosi, Bohley, Coll and Scroggins. See “—2025 Compensation Decisions—Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards—Results of the 2023-2025 Performance Units” below.
Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation. Approximately 93% of the shares voted at our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders voted in favor of our advisory vote on executive compensation, reflecting our stockholders’ strong support of our executive compensation program. Given the level of support received from our stockholders and the Compensation Committee’s assessment that our programs continue to effectively support our business objectives, we did not make any material changes to our executive compensation program as a result of this vote. We intend to conduct advisory votes on executive compensation annually and to conduct our next advisory vote on the frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation at our 2031 annual meeting of stockholders.
Corporate Governance Framework
The Compensation Committee maintains control and oversight of our executive compensation program through strong corporate governance. Specific examples of policies that we have adopted include:
Align pay for performance: On average, approximately 80% of 2025 NEO total direct compensation was performance-based and was tied to financial performance and/or the performance of our stock price. On average, approximately 59% of 2025 NEO total direct compensation was equity-based, with vesting over three years. Total direct compensation was calculated as base salary, annual incentive compensation at target-level achievement and long-term incentive awards at target-level performance.
Maintain executive stock ownership guidelines and holding requirements: Certain senior executives are required to hold a fixed amount of our common stock equal to a multiple of their salary (5.0x for our CEO, and 3.0x, 1.5x or 1.0x for certain other executives based on an internal leveling system; based on this internal leveling system, the multiple for our NEOs other than our CEO is 3.0x) and are subject to holding requirements (50% of net shares received) until the guidelines are met.
Clawback Policy: Annual cash incentive compensation and performance-based long-term equity incentive awards to current and former executive officers are subject to clawback in the event of accounting restatements to correct our material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under securities laws.
Prohibit tax gross-ups: We provide no tax gross-ups on any benefits, severance or other payments associated with a change-in-control.
Prohibit pledging and hedging of our stock: The Allison Insider Trading Policy prohibits our directors and executive officers from engaging in any pledging or hedging involving our common stock.
2026 PROXY STATEMENT

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Prohibit option re-pricing: Our equity plan does not allow for re-pricing of underwater stock options without stockholder approval.
Require double trigger for change-in-control benefits: No severance payment or equity acceleration occurs solely as the result of a change-in-control event.
Maintain an independent compensation committee: All of the members of our Compensation Committee are independent as defined by the NYSE Manual and applicable SEC rules and regulations.
Retain an independent consultant: The Compensation Committee engages a compensation consultant that does not provide other services to us.
Compensation Overview
Our overall compensation program is structured to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified executive officers by paying them competitively, with variable components to deliver pay results that are consistent with our success and their contribution to that success. We believe compensation should be structured to ensure that a significant portion of compensation opportunity is related to factors that directly and indirectly influence stockholder value. Accordingly, we set goals designed to link each NEO’s compensation to our performance and the NEO’s own performance.
We do not target a specific mix of compensation elements by executive, rather our overall philosophy is to emphasize performance-based pay and long-term incentives. The following charts illustrate this emphasis for our CEO and other NEOs, showing annualized base salary, target annual cash incentive opportunity and target long-term incentive opportunity as a percentage of target total direct compensation for 2025:


Compensation Elements. Compensation for our executive officers consists primarily of the elements, and their corresponding objectives, identified in the following table:
Compensation Element

Base Salary
To recognize performance of job responsibilities and to attract and retain individuals with superior talent.
 
 
IComp (annual performance-based compensation)

Compensation Element
Primary Objective
Severance and change-in-control benefits
To encourage the continued attention and dedication of certain key individuals when considering strategic alternatives.
 
 
Retirement savings, pension and deferred compensation plans
To provide an opportunity for tax-efficient savings and long-term financial security.
 
 
Other elements of compensation and perquisites
To attract and retain talented executives in a cost-efficient manner by providing benefits with high perceived values at relatively low cost to us.
Our compensation decisions for the NEOs in 2025 are discussed below in relation to each of the above-described elements of our compensation program. The below discussion is intended to be read in conjunction with the executive compensation tables and related disclosures that follow this Compensation Discussion and Analysis.
Determination of Compensation Awards. The Compensation Committee is provided with the primary authority to establish and approve the compensation awards available to our executive officers and is charged with reviewing executive officer compensation policies and practices to ensure alignment with our compensation philosophies and that the total compensation paid to our executive officers is fair, reasonable and competitive. The Compensation Committee is primarily responsible for (i) establishing base salary and target bonus levels; (ii) assessing the performance of the CEO and other NEOs for each applicable performance period; (iii) approving the awards to be paid to our CEO and other NEOs under our annual IComp program for each year; and (iv) making equity award grants under our equity incentive compensation plan, including awards for the CEO and other NEOs. To aid the Compensation Committee in making its determinations, the CEO provides recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding the compensation of our other officers. The performance of our senior executive management team is reviewed by the Compensation Committee, and the Compensation Committee approves each NEO’s compensation at least annually.
In establishing and approving compensation levels for our NEOs, the Compensation Committee considers each NEO’s unique position and responsibilities and relies upon the judgment and experience of its members, as well as the input of the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, including information regarding market practices. We believe that executive officer total compensation should be competitive with the compensation of executive officers in similar positions and with similar responsibilities in our industry, taking into consideration our financial and operating performance, each executive’s level of experience and each executive’s current and expected future contributions to our results. Each executive officer’s current and prior compensation is considered as a reference point by the Compensation Committee as to whether increases are appropriate to retain the NEO in light of competition or in order to incentivize performance.
Determination of Sign-On Compensation for Mr. Mell. On April 14, 2025, Mr. Mell joined Allison as our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. Mr. Mell received a market competitive package that included a base salary of $575,000, participation in our annual performance-based compensation (IComp) at a target payout of 100% of his base salary and participation in our long-term equity incentive program with a target value equal to 200% of his base salary, which target value was prorated for 2025. Additionally, Mr. Mell received a one-time grant of RSUs with a value of $400,000 that vest 50% on the first anniversary of the grant date, 25% on the second anniversary of the grant date and 25% on the third anniversary of the grant date and a one-time cash bonus worth $200,000, with 25% paid upon hire, 25% paid six months after his start date and 50% paid following 12 months of employment. Both one-time awards were intended to offset awards he was forfeiting at his prior employer.

2025 Compensation Decisions
Base Compensation. The Compensation Committee sets base salaries for our NEOs generally at a level it deems necessary to attract and retain capable individuals, while taking into account the total compensation package provided to each NEO. Each year the Compensation Committee determines base salary adjustments based upon the scope of responsibility and demonstrated proficiency of the executive officers, and for executive officers other than the CEO, in conjunction with recommendations made by the CEO. No formulaic base salary increases are provided to the NEOs. In February 2025, the Compensation Committee approved base salary increases for each of our NEOs, except Mr. Mell, effective March 1, 2025 based on a review of market and peer group data and key internal considerations. Mr. Mell’s base salary upon his hire was established using the same market and peer group data. The base salaries for each of Mr. Graziosi, Mr. Bohley and Mr. Scroggins were increased to better align their respective base salaries with the market and peer group data. Annualized base salaries for our NEOs in 2025 were as follows:

Annual Performance-Based Compensation (IComp). Generally, all of our hourly and salaried employees, including our NEOs, are eligible for annual performance-based compensation under the Allison Transmission Holdings, Inc. 2016 Incentive Plan, or the Incentive Plan. We structure our compensation programs to reward employees based on our performance and the individual employee’s relative contribution to that performance. This allows all employees to receive IComp in the event certain specified corporate performance measures are achieved. The annual IComp pool is approved by the Compensation Committee based upon the extent of achievement of corporate-level performance goals established annually by the Compensation Committee.
Payout Potential. Under the terms of the IComp program, the formulaic IComp awards are based upon a percentage of base salary, and target-level performance percentages have been set at or above what our Compensation Committee believes to be market levels, such that our total cash compensation is generally intended to be more performance-based than that of our peers. For our NEOs, this percentage ranged from 75% to 125% of salary for target-level achievement in 2025. Maximum formulaic IComp awards for our NEOs, in 2025, was set at 250% of the target values based on our short-term performance and each NEO’s contributions to that performance. For 2026, the Compensation Committee reduced the maximum formulaic IComp award to 200% of the target values to align with market practice. None of our NEOs receives a guaranteed annual IComp award.

Performance Measures. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Compensation Committee approved the following performance metrics for the IComp program: Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales and Adjusted free cash flow. The Compensation Committee chose these metrics as it believes the Revenue metric incentivizes employees to maintain focus on our revenue growth, which is one of our strategic priorities. The Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales and Adjusted free cash flow metrics are important indicators of our long-term value creation for stockholders. These were the same three metrics used for the 2024 IComp program, as the Compensation Committee determined that these metrics continued to be appropriate measures to reflect our strategic goals.
The metrics for 2025 IComp were approved by the Compensation Committee in February 2025. The following chart sets forth the weighting of each performance metric, the threshold, target and maximum performance goals and the actual performance achieved under the IComp program for the year ended December 31, 2025:

No such adjustments to our reported Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales were made for purposes of 2025 IComp.

For purposes of 2025 IComp, Adjusted free cash flow was defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less additions of long-lived assets, as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, plus, if applicable, adjustments for certain transactions related to a change in our U.S. government price reduction reserve, capital expenditure timing decisions versus budget, capital markets transactions and technology-related initiatives. The following adjustments were made to our reported
2026 PROXY STATEMENT

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Adjusted free cash flow for IComp purposes for items that were either not included in our budget when setting our IComp performance goals or were different than the budgeted amount: an increase of $11 million for unrecovered tariffs after tax, a decrease of $56 million for the impacts from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, an increase of $44 million for Acquisition costs after tax, a decrease of $6 million for Capital expenditures that were less than budgeted and a decrease of $27 million for a 2024 net working capital ending balance adjustment.
A reconciliation of our reported Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales and Adjusted free cash flow to the most comparable GAAP measures can be found in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Components of our Results of Operations—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on February 24, 2026.
Once the extent of achievement of IComp targets has been established for our NEOs and our other executives, the total IComp funding pool for each metric is interpolated between 0% at threshold to 100% at target and 100% at target to 250% at maximum and then multiplied by a weighting for each performance metric. Based on the foregoing levels of corporate achievement, we exceeded the target level of performance for Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales, missed the threshold level of performance for Revenue and exceeded the threshold level of performance for Adjusted free cash flow, resulting in a payout of 65.38% of target for 2025 performance.
Applying the 2025 IComp metric performance, the formulaic IComp award calculations for the NEOs, including Mr. Mell’s which was subject to pro-ration, for the year ended December 31, 2025 were as follows:

Consistent with prior years, the Compensation Committee then further adjusted the formulaic payouts to certain of the NEOs based on the CEO’s recommendations and the Compensation Committee’s subjective assessment of the NEO’s individual performance, business impact, contributions and leadership, as follows:
Mr. Mell: his support and preparation for the Acquisition;
Mr. Bohley: his implementation of capital investments to improve our operational flexibility, his transition of the Chief Financial Officer role to Mr. Mell and his support and preparation for the Acquisition;
Mr. Coll: his support and preparation for the Acquisition and leadership of our industry and trade group activities; and
Mr. Scroggins: his execution of our litigation management program and support and preparation for the Acquisition.
The actual IComp awards earned by the NEOs for 2025 are included in the Summary Compensation Table for 2025 under the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” and “Bonus” columns.

Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards. The Compensation Committee approves annual equity awards, which for the NEOs in 2025 were in the form of stock options, RSUs and performance units, at its first regularly scheduled meeting of each year, which typically occurs in February. Specifically, the NEOs’ annual equity awards in 2025 were allocated as 1/3 of the value in stock options, 1/3 of the value in RSUs and 1/3 of the value in performance units. For 2026, the Compensation Committee has approved adjustments to the overall annual equity award mix, which include an increase in the use of RSUs and performance units and a removal of stock options.
In 2025, we granted stock options to our NEOs because these awards create value only to the extent our stock price appreciates over the stock price at the time of grant. RSUs were granted because these awards reward executives for stock price appreciation, while providing more stable value to enhance executive retention and limiting incentives for undue risk-taking. Both the 2025 stock option and RSU awards vest ratably over three years on the anniversary of the date of grant.
We grant performance units to further emphasize our long-term market performance and align executives’ incentives with those of our stockholders. We believe the use of performance units as an equity vehicle is consistent with market best practices for executive pay. For the 2025-2027 performance period, the Compensation Committee approved relative TSR, or rTSR, as the metric for the performance units granted to our NEOs, with our rTSR compared to the same premier industrial peer group companies that we used to assess competitive pay, plus BorgWarner Inc., Cummins Inc., Eaton Corporation plc, Parker-Hannifin Corporation, Roper Technologies, Inc. and TransDigm Group Incorporated, which we believe remain relevant comparators from a performance perspective despite their larger size. The Compensation Committee set a performance target for rTSR at the 50th percentile of the TSRs of the peer group for the three-year period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027. Possible payouts for the performance units range from: 0% if actual 2025-2027 rTSR is below the 25th percentile of the TSRs of the peer group, 50% if actual 2025-2027 rTSR is at the 25th percentile of the TSRs of the peer group, 100% if actual 2025-2027 rTSR is at the 50th percentile of the TSRs of the peer group and up to 200% if actual 2025-2027 rTSR is at or above the 75th percentile of the TSRs of the peer group. Performance units earned based on 2025-2027 performance will vest no later than February 28, 2028.
The number of stock options, RSUs and performance units granted was determined based on a target dollar value for each executive which was intended to provide a competitive total compensation opportunity relative to market practices, although no specific percentile of market was targeted and the actual value relative to market varies by individual position. Target values for each of our NEOs were as follows:

On April 14, 2025, Mr. Mell’s hire date, Mr. Mell was granted equity awards with a target value of $822,300, representing a prorated portion of his 2025 long-term incentive plan opportunity valued at 200% of his base salary, which prorated target value was divided equally among stock options, RSUs and performance units.

The target value was then divided by a 60-day average share price to determine the number of shares to grant to our NEOs, and then one-third of those shares were allocated to stock options, one-third to RSUs and one-third to performance units. The number of shares allocated to stock options was then multiplied by three to reflect the lower value of a stock option as compared to an RSU or performance unit. As a result, our NEOs were granted the following awards:

The values of the awards as reported in the Summary Compensation Table are computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, or ASC 718. As a result, the equity award values in the Summary Compensation Table differ from the target values described above and used to calibrate the number of shares granted.
Mell Sign-on Equity Award. On April 14, 2025, Mr. Mell also received a one-time sign-on award of 3,903 RSUs, which award vests 50% on the first anniversary of the grant date and 25% on each of the second and third anniversaries of the grant date. This equity award was to compensate him for equity awards he forfeited with his prior company.
Results of the 2023-2025 Performance Units. The performance units we granted to Messrs. Graziosi, Bohley, Coll and Scroggins in 2023 were based on rTSR ranking against a defined comparator group. Performance was measured from January 1, 2023 through the end of December 31, 2025 using a 20-day average share price for the starting and ending dates and including the impact from re-invested dividends. As indicated below, our three-year annualized relative performance was at the 74th percentile of the TSRs of the comparator group, resulting in a 196% payout of the units granted. The Compensation Committee certified this result in February 2026.

Role of Compensation Consultant. The Compensation Committee retained Semler Brossy as its independent compensation consultant for 2025. During 2025, Semler Brossy assisted the Compensation Committee with the following compensation-related matters:
Identifying a peer group of appropriately sized public companies for making market comparisons;
Assessing executive pay levels and practices relative to market practices;
Reviewing pay recommendations for executive officers;
Reviewing and providing guidance on performance measures and objectives established for determining performance-based compensation;
Providing information on compensation methodologies and practices for new executive-level hires and succession planning purposes;
Updating the Compensation Committee on developing regulatory and governance trends;
Completing a review of compensation-related risks, focusing on compensation design; and
Reviewing and providing input on the annual compensation discussion and analysis disclosures.

2026 PROXY STATEMENT

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Semler Brossy does not provide other services to our management. The Compensation Committee has assessed Semler Brossy’s independence and concluded that no conflict of interest exists that would prevent Semler Brossy from providing services to the Compensation Committee.
Use of Peer Group Data. The Compensation Committee reviews competitive pay practices in determining compensation for our executives, including our NEOs; however, the Compensation Committee does not target a specific percentile of market in determining individual pay levels. Rather, in alignment with the considerations described above under “Compensation Overview—Determination of Compensation Awards,” the Compensation Committee determines the total amount of compensation for our NEOs, and the allocation of total compensation among each of our three main components of compensation—base salary, IComp and long-term equity incentives—in reliance upon the judgment and general knowledge of its members and the advice of the Compensation Committee’s independent consultant to ensure we attract, develop and retain superior talent.
The Compensation Committee reviewed peer group data provided by Semler Brossy in late 2024 for 2025 pay decisions for purposes of comparing our executive compensation programs and amounts to those of other publicly traded companies with size and financial characteristics similar to our own, or which operate in similar industries. The peer group is reviewed annually based on U.S. publicly traded companies in the industrial components, parts and equipment industries, with a focus on companies similar in scale to Allison with comparable financial profiles (e.g., companies with EBITDA margins higher than 15%). The peer group remained the same from 2024 other than the removal of HEICO Corporation, which no longer fit the profile due to a material increase in its scale following an acquisition. For pay decisions made for 2025, our peer group consisted of the following companies:
Crane Company
ITT Inc.
Curtiss-Wright Corporation
Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc.
Donaldson Company, Inc.
The Middleby Corporation
Flowserve Corporation
Nordson Corporation
Gates Industrial Corporation plc
Sensata Technologies Holding plc
Gentex Corporation
The Timken Company
Graco Inc.
Woodward, Inc.
IDEX Corporation
Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation
In addition, the Compensation Committee included BorgWarner Inc., Cummins Inc., Eaton Corporation plc, Parker-Hannifin Corporation, Roper Technologies, Inc. and TransDigm Group Incorporated in our 2025 peer group for the rTSR performance metric used in our performance unit awards, but otherwise excluded these companies from our 2025 peer group for comparative compensation purposes due to their larger size.
The Compensation Committee, with the advice of Semler Brossy, approved a material change to the peer group used when making 2026 compensation decisions due to the Acquisition. The methodology for determining the members of the peer group remained the same, but the companies in the peer group changed with the change in our financial profile. Seven companies that will be removed from the peer group in 2026 due to smaller revenue scale and/or having limited business overlap are IDEX Corporation, Curtiss-Wright Corporation, Nordson Corporation, Gentex Corporation, Crane Company, Graco Inc., and Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation. In their place will be seven new peer group companies that were selected due to scale fit and business alignment. Those seven new peer group companies are Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation, Xylem Inc., Dover Corporation, Ingersoll Rand Inc., AMETEK, Inc., Fortive Corporation and Regal Rexnord Corporation.
In addition to the data from the peer group, the Compensation Committee also reviews pay data for similarly-sized companies from nationally recognized pay surveys for those executive positions that are not reported with sufficient frequency in the public disclosures of our peers to draw meaningful comparisons.
Defined Contribution Plans
We maintain a defined contribution plan that is tax-qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and that we refer to as the 401(k) Plan. The 401(k) Plan permits our eligible salaried employees to defer receipt of portions of their eligible salaries, subject to certain limitations imposed by the Code, by making contributions to the 401(k) Plan.
We provide matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan in an amount equal to 100% of each participant’s contributions, up to a maximum of 4% of the participant’s annual eligible salary and subject to certain other limits. We make additional contributions to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of certain groups of participants, depending on the
2026 PROXY STATEMENT

date of their commencement of service with our predecessor and whether they are eligible to participate in our defined benefit plan as described below. These contributions are in amounts of either 1% and/or 4% of eligible salary, subject to certain other limits. All matching contributions fully vest after three years of service.
The 401(k) Plan is offered on a nondiscriminatory basis to all our salaried employees, including NEOs, who meet the eligibility requirements. The Compensation Committee believes that matching and other contributions assist us in attracting and retaining talented employees and executives. The 401(k) Plan provides an opportunity for participants to save money for retirement on a tax-qualified basis and to achieve financial security, thereby promoting retention.
Defined Benefit Plan
Annual retirement benefits under the Allison Transmission Retirement Program for Salaried Employees accrue at a rate of 1.25% of base wages and IComp wages each year for certain groups of participants, depending on the date of their commencement of service with our predecessor. The full retirement benefit is generally payable to participants who retire on or after attaining age 62 with 10 years of service, and a reduced early retirement benefit is generally available to participants who retire on or after age 55 with 10 years of service or who retire at any age with 30 years of service. No offsets are made for the value of any social security benefits earned.
Similar to the 401(k) Plan, this defined benefit plan is a nondiscriminatory tax-qualified retirement plan that provides eligible participants with an opportunity to earn retirement benefits and provides for financial security. Generally, eligible participants are those employees who commenced service with our predecessor on or before January 1, 2007. Employees commencing service after January 1, 2007 are not eligible to participate in this plan. Offering these benefits is an additional means for us to retain well-qualified executives. Mr. Bohley is our only NEO who participates in our defined benefit plan. For additional information on the accrued pension benefits for the NEOs in 2025, see the “Pension Benefits for 2025” table below.
Deferred Compensation Plan
We maintain the Allison Transmission, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan, or the Deferred Compensation Plan, a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that permits a select group of our management, including the NEOs, and other key employees to defer up to 50% of their compensation. We provide matching contributions to the Deferred Compensation Plan in an amount equal to 4% of the participant’s deferral election that is in excess of the qualified 401(k) Plan limits. A participant’s deferrals are 100% fully vested and the matching contributions are fully vested after three years of service. Upon death or disability of the participant or a change-in-control affecting us, a participant’s account becomes 100% vested.
Employment and Severance Arrangements
The Compensation Committee considers the employment and retention of a highly capable and effective management team to be essential to protecting and enhancing the interests of the Company and our stockholders. To that end, we recognize that the uncertainty that may exist among management with respect to their “at-will” employment with us could result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to our detriment. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee has determined that severance arrangements are appropriate to encourage the continued attention and dedication of certain members of our management and to allow them to focus on the value to stockholders of strategic alternatives without concern for the impact on their continued employment. We entered into a severance and change-in-control agreement, or the Agreement, with Mr. Graziosi in March 2018, which became effective on June 1, 2018 and replaced his prior employment agreement. During 2022, the Compensation Committee approved an Executive Change-in-Control & Severance Plan, or the Severance Plan, pursuant to which our NEOs, other than Mr. Graziosi, are eligible for severance payments and benefits upon certain qualifying terminations of employment. Both the Agreement and the Severance Plan provide payments and benefits to our NEOs upon termination of employment without cause (as defined in the Agreement and the Severance Plan, respectively) or resignation of employment for good reason (as defined in the Agreement and the Severance Plan, respectively), each a Qualifying Termination, and upon a Qualifying Termination that occurs within two years following a change-in-control. The Agreement also provides payments and benefits to Mr. Graziosi upon his death, disability or retirement.

For more information on the potential payments Mr. Graziosi would have received under the Agreement and Messrs. Mell, Bohley, Coll, and Scroggins would have received under the Severance Plan had they experienced a Qualifying Termination, including a Qualifying Termination following a change-in-control, or had the NEOs died, became disabled or retired on December 31, 2025, see “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control” below.
Other Elements of Compensation and Perquisites
We provide our executive officers, including our NEOs, with certain personal benefits and perquisites, which we do not consider to be a significant component of executive compensation but which we recognize are an important factor in attracting and retaining talented executives. Executive officers are eligible under the same plans as all other employees for medical, dental, vision and short-term disability insurance, and may participate to the same extent as all other employees in our tuition reimbursement program. We provide personal umbrella liability insurance to our executive officers as well as higher levels of long-term disability and life insurance coverages to our executive officers than is generally available to our non-executive employees. All of our executive officers have the option to use our fleet automobiles for personal use, but not all of our NEOs utilized this perquisite in 2025. We provide these supplemental benefits to our executive officers due to the relatively low cost of such benefits and the value they provide in assisting us to attract and retain talented executives. The value of personal benefits and perquisites we provide to each of our NEOs is set forth below in the Summary Compensation Table.
Tax Considerations
Deductibility of Executive Compensation. The Compensation Committee takes into consideration the tax implications of our executive compensation program, including with respect to the tax deductibility of compensation paid under Section 162(m) of the Code. In the exercise of its business judgment, and in accordance with its compensation philosophy, the Compensation Committee continues to have flexibility to award compensation that is not tax deductible if it determines that such award is in our stockholders’ best interests and is necessary to comply with contractual commitments, or to maintain flexibility needed to attract talent, promote retention or recognize and reward desired performance.
Taxation of Parachute Payments and Deferred Compensation. We do not provide and have no obligation to provide any NEO with a “gross-up” or other reimbursement payment for any tax liability that he or she might owe as a result of the application of Sections 280G, 4999, or 409A of the Code. Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code provide that executive officers and directors who hold significant equity interests and certain other service providers may be subject to an excise tax if they receive payments or benefits in connection with a change-in-control that exceed certain limits prescribed by the Code, and that the employer may forfeit a deduction on the amounts subject to this additional tax. Section 409A of the Code also may impose significant taxes on a service provider in the event that he or she receives deferred compensation that does not comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. We have structured our compensation arrangements with the intention of complying with or otherwise being exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
Prohibition on Hedging and Pledging
We have adopted, as part of the Allison Insider Trading Policy, prohibitions on the short sale of our common stock and the issuance, purchase or sale of, or trading or dealing in, puts, calls or other options or rights relating to our common stock. These provisions prohibit our directors, officers and employees from hedging the risk of their ownership of our common stock. We also prohibit our directors, officers and employees from holding our common stock in a margin account or otherwise pledging it as collateral for a loan.
Equity Award Timing Policies and Practices
Our general practice is to not grant equity awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information or time the release of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. The Compensation Committee uses its business judgment to determine the amount of an equity award and would consider any material nonpublic information that is known to the Compensation Committee before granting an equity award.
Although we do not have a formal policy with respect to the timing of our equity award grants, for the last several years, the Compensation Committee has granted annual equity awards in February after our Annual Report on Form 10-K has been filed with the SEC and has granted any equity awards for new hires on their hire date and for special retention needs on a predetermined quarterly schedule.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In 2025, we granted our annual equity awards on February 19, 2025, which was three business days after the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, in accordance with our standard practice. We also filed a Current Report on Form 8-K that disclosed material nonpublic information one business day following such grant. As described above under “2025 Compensation Decisions–Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards,” our annual equity awards in 2025 were made up of a combination of stock options, RSUs and performance units, with stock options weighted at one-third of the annual award value. The following table contains the information required by Item 402(x) of Regulation S-K about the stock options granted to our NEOs in 2025.

Amounts shown represent the aggregate grant date fair value, computed in accordance with ASC 718, of all RSUs and performance units granted to the NEO in the year indicated. For a discussion of the assumptions made in the valuation of the awards, see “—Grants of Plan-Based Awards for 2025—Narrative Discussion—Equity Incentive Plan Awards” below for awards granted in 2025, 2024 and 2023.
For 2025, amounts shown include RSUs and performance units granted on February 19, 2025 to Messrs. Graziosi, Bohley, Coll and Scroggins and April 14, 2025 to Mr. Mell. To determine the grant date fair value of the RSUs, we used $103.78, the closing market price of a share of our common stock as reported by the NYSE on February 19, 2025, for Messrs. Graziosi, Bohley, Coll and Scroggins and $89.41, the closing market price of a share of our common stock as reported by the NYSE on April 14, 2025, for Mr. Mell.

Amounts represent the grant date fair value of performance units granted on February 19, 2025 to Messrs. Graziosi, Bohley, Coll and Scroggins, and on April 14, 2025 to Mr. Mell in connection with his hire, based upon the probable outcome of the performance conditions (which was the target level of performance), as determined in accordance with ASC 718. For a discussion of the assumptions made in the valuation of our performance unit awards, see “—Narrative Discussion—Equity Incentive Plan Awards” below.
Narrative Discussion
Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards. The non-equity incentive plan awards were granted under the Incentive Plan and represent the IComp opportunity for 2025 under the IComp metrics established by the Compensation Committee in February 2025. Amounts actually paid for 2025 performance are shown (i) for the formulaic portion, in the Summary Compensation Table in the column titled “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” and (ii) for the discretionary portion, in the column titled “Bonus”. Material terms of the IComp awards are described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—2025 Compensation Decisions—Annual Performance-Based Compensation (IComp).”
Equity Incentive Plan Awards. The equity incentive plan awards represent performance unit awards, RSUs and stock options. Equity incentive plan awards granted prior to May 8, 2024 were granted under the 2015 Plan and equity incentive plan awards granted after May 8, 2024 were granted under the 2024 Plan.
Performance Units. The grant date fair value of the performance units utilizing rTSR as the performance metric granted to Messrs. Graziosi, Mell, Bohley, Coll and Scroggins, (i) during 2025 was $116.57 per share for all NEOs excluding Mr. Mell and $104.04 per share for Mr. Mell, (ii) during 2024 was $113.38 per share underlying the unit to Mr. Graziosi and $107.63 per share underlying the unit to the other NEOs, and (iii) during 2023 was $63.13 per share underlying the unit, each as determined using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model using the assumptions noted in the following table:

Material terms of the performance units granted during 2025, including a discussion of the applicable performance measures and target performance for the three-year performance period ending December 31, 2027, are described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—2025 Compensation Decisions—Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards.”
RSUs. The grant date fair value of the RSUs granted on (i) April 14, 2025 was $89.41 per share, (ii) February 19, 2025 was $103.78 per share, (iii) June 4, 2024 was $74.24 per share, (iv) February 22, 2024 was $73.39 per share, (v) February 21, 2024 was $70.88 per share, and (vi) February 22, 2023 was $47.35 per share, each of which was the closing price of a share of our common stock on the date of grant as reported by the NYSE. The RSUs vest ratably over three years on the anniversary of the date of grant, contingent on continued employment through each vesting date, with the exception of Mr. Mell’s sign-on RSU award, which vests 50% on the first anniversary of the date of grant and 25% on each of the second and third anniversaries of the date of grant, contingent on continued employment through each vesting date. Material terms of the RSUs granted during 2025 to Messrs. Graziosi, Mell, Bohley, Coll and Scroggins are described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—2025 Compensation Decisions—Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards.” Each RSU accrues dividend equivalents for all ordinary cash dividends that are paid to all or substantially all holders of the outstanding shares

of our common stock between the grant date and the vesting date. All dividend equivalents are deemed to be reinvested in additional RSUs as of the dividend payment date based on the closing price of a share of our common stock on such date and are subject to the same vesting provisions that apply to the underlying RSU.
Option Awards. The option awards represent nonqualified stock options. The grant date fair value of the stock options granted on (i) April 14, 2025 was $29.75 per share underlying the options, (ii) February 19, 2025 was $35.82 per share underlying the options, (iii) June 4, 2024 was $24.20 per share underlying the options, (iv) February 22, 2024 was $24.05 per share underlying the options, (v) February 21, 2024 was $23.04 per share underlying the options, and (vi) February 22, 2023 was $14.5172 per share underlying the options, each as determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model using the assumptions noted in the following table:
 
2025
2024
2023
Expected volatility
32.58%-33.09%
32.03%-31.94%

5.47-5.52
5.61
Risk-free rate
4.06%-4.39%
4.31%-4.35%
4.11%
Expected volatility is based on “the average volatilities of otherwise similar public entities” as defined by authoritative accounting guidance. In 2023, we paid a $0.23 per share dividend per quarter, in 2024, we paid a $0.25 per share dividend per quarter and in 2025, we paid a $0.27 per share dividend per quarter. In the first quarter of 2026, we began paying a $0.29 per share dividend per quarter. The expected term is derived from the average of the weighted vesting life and the contractual term. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
The stock options become exercisable ratably over three years on the anniversary of the date of grant, contingent on continued employment through each vesting date and expire ten years from the date of grant. The stock options have an exercise price of $89.41, $103.78, $74.24, $73.39, $70.88, and $47.35 per share, which was the closing price of a share of our common stock on April 14, 2025, February 19, 2025, June 4, 2024, February 22, 2024, February 21, 2024 and February 22, 2023, respectively, as reported by the NYSE. Other material terms of our option awards are described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—2025 Compensation Decisions—Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards.”

The amounts in the “Number of Shares or Units of Stock That Have Not Vested” column include the number of shares of common stock underlying unvested RSUs, the number of shares vesting in February 2026 for the 2023-2025 performance units at the actual payout amount, and the number of any dividend equivalents on such RSUs and performance units for all NEOs.
(8)
Calculated by multiplying (a) the number of shares of RSUs that have not vested, plus (b) the number of shares vesting in February 2026 for the 2023-2025 performance units at the actual payout amount for such performance units, plus (c) any dividend equivalents on such RSUs and performance units, by $97.90, the closing price of a share of our common stock on December 31, 2025, as reported by the NYSE. As of December 31, 2025, the relevant performance criteria for the 2023-2025 performance units had been satisfied, but the awards did not vest until February 28, 2026.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control
Graziosi Severance and Change-in-Control Agreement. Mr. Graziosi’s Agreement, which became effective on June 1, 2018, provides that:
upon a Qualifying Termination, Mr. Graziosi will be entitled to receive (i) severance payments equal to two times the sum of his annual base salary and the greater of (x) the average annual bonus earned by him for the three years prior to the year of termination and (y) his target annual bonus; (ii) continued healthcare coverage for 24 months; and (iii) extension of the post-termination exercise period of any stock options granted under our equity compensation plans until the second anniversary of such termination, subject, in each case, to Mr. Graziosi executing a general release of claims against the Company.
if Mr. Graziosi’s Qualifying Termination occurs within two years following a change-in-control, Mr. Graziosi will be entitled to receive, in addition to the severance payments and benefits described above, (i) an additional payment equal to the sum of his annual base salary and the greater of (x) the average annual bonus earned by him for the three years prior to the year of termination and (y) his target annual bonus; and (ii) continued healthcare coverage for an additional 12 months.
if Mr. Graziosi’s employment is terminated due to his disability or death, he will be entitled to receive the greater of (x) the average annual bonus earned by him for the three years prior to the year of termination and (y) his target annual bonus, in each case, prorated for his partial year of service, subject, in the event of his termination due to disability, to Mr. Graziosi executing a general release of claims against the Company.
if Mr. Graziosi’s employment is terminated due to his retirement, he will be entitled to receive a prorated portion of his annual bonus, with the amount earned calculated based on our actual performance for the year of his retirement. Mr. Graziosi is currently retirement eligible.
in addition, any equity or equity-based awards granted under our equity compensation plans will be treated in accordance with the documents governing such awards upon a Qualifying Termination, a Qualifying Termination within two years following a change-in-control or Mr. Graziosi’s death, disability or retirement.
As a condition to the effectiveness of the Agreement, Mr. Graziosi executed a confidentiality, restrictive covenant and proprietary rights agreement, which contains provisions regarding the protection of confidential information, assignment of inventions and a covenant pursuant to which Mr. Graziosi has agreed not to compete with certain of our businesses during the term of his employment and for 24 months following his termination for any reason.
Severance Plan. The Severance Plan was approved by the Compensation Committee in July 2022 and provides severance payments and benefits to certain senior level employees who the Compensation Committee designates as eligible to participate in the Severance Plan. The purpose of the Severance Plan is to ensure the continued dedication of key employees by providing severance protections to such participants in the event their employment is terminated under the circumstances designated in the Severance Plan. During 2022, the Compensation Committee designated each of our NEOs, other than Mr. Mell and Mr. Graziosi, as eligible to participate and determined each NEO’s classification as either a Tier 1 or Tier 2 participant, which determines the level of benefits under the Severance Plan. In April 2025, the Compensation Committee designated Mr. Mell as eligible to participate in the Severance Plan as a Tier 1 participant.
Under the Severance Plan, a Tier 2 participant who experiences a Qualifying Termination at any time or a Tier 1 participant who experiences a Qualifying Termination other than within two years after a change-in-control, or a Non-CIC Qualifying Termination, is eligible to receive (i) a lump sum payment in an amount equal to (a) the participant’s annual base salary plus the target bonus amount for Tier 1 participants (including Messrs. Mell, Bohley and Coll) or (b) the participant’s annual base salary plus a pro-rata target bonus amount for Tier 2 participants (for a Non-CIC Qualifying Termination only, Mr. Scroggins); and (ii) payment or reimbursement of premiums for continued group medical plan coverage for a period of up to one year following termination. If a Tier 1 participant experiences a Qualifying Termination within two years after a change-in-control, or a CIC Qualifying Termination, the Tier 1 participant (including Messrs. Mell, Bohley, Coll and Scroggins) is eligible to receive (A) a lump sum payment in an amount equal to two-times the participant’s annual base salary plus his or her target bonus amount; (B) payment or reimbursement of premiums for continued group medical plan coverage for a period of up to two years; and (C) accelerated vesting of all unvested equity or equity-based awards granted to the

participant and extension of the post-termination exercise period of outstanding stock options until the second anniversary of such CIC Qualifying Termination (but in no event later than the maximum term of the option and otherwise subject to the terms of the applicable equity plan), provided that, unless a provision more favorable to the participant is included in an applicable award agreement, any such awards that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions shall only be payable subject to the attainment of the performance measures for the applicable performance period as provided under the terms of the applicable award agreement. See “Equity Awards” below for additional information on the treatment of outstanding performance units in connection with a change-in-control and certain terminations of employment occurring after a change-in-control.
The NEOs are required to execute a general release of claims as a condition to receiving severance payments and benefits under the Severance Plan and to comply with any non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement and confidentiality agreements with us.
Equity Awards. Under the terms of our currently outstanding performance units, in connection with a change-in-control, such performance units are only eligible to vest at the end of the original performance period based on actual performance against the rTSR metrics measured as of the change-in-control and subject to the grantee’s continued service through the end of the original performance period; provided that, such earned performance units will immediately vest in connection with a Qualifying Termination or a termination due to death or disability, in each case, that occurs after the change-in-control. In addition, such performance units will vest upon the grantee’s death or disability prior to the end of the applicable performance period, with the number of performance units vesting calculated based on our actual performance through the date of termination, prorated based on the number of days in the performance period that elapsed prior to such termination, pursuant to the terms of the award agreements governing such performance units. For the RSUs and stock options granted in 2024 and 2025, upon a NEO’s retirement, a prorated portion of the current tranche of such RSUs and stock options will vest upon retirement, pursuant to the terms of the award agreements governing such RSUs and stock options. For the performance units granted in 2024 and 2025, in the event of a NEO’s retirement prior to the end of the performance period, a prorated portion of the performance units will vest after the end of the performance period on the date that the number of performance units earned is determined, with the number of performance units vesting calculated based on our actual performance for the performance period, prorated based on the number of days in the performance period that elapsed prior to such retirement, pursuant to the terms of the award agreements governing such performance units. Messrs. Graziosi, Bohley, Coll and Scroggins are currently retirement eligible. Mr. Mell is not retirement eligible.
Assuming a termination of employment effective as of December 31, 2025 (i) by us without cause or due to Mr. Graziosi’s resignation for good reason, (ii) by us without cause or due to Mr. Graziosi’s resignation for good reason following a change-in-control, (iii) due to death or disability, or (iv) due to retirement, Mr. Graziosi would have received the following severance payments and benefits:

Amount represents the value of unvested “in-the-money” stock options held by the NEO that would vest as a result of the specified termination event. Value is calculated by multiplying the number of such unvested stock options that would vest by the difference between $97.90, the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on December 31, 2025, and the exercise price of such stock options.

Under the terms of the Severance Plan, unvested performance units continue to vest in accordance with their terms as a result of a termination by us without cause or by the NEO for good reason following a change-in-control, unless a provision more favorable to the NEO is included in an applicable award agreement. This amount represents the value of unvested performance units (i) granted on February 21, 2024, June 4, 2024, February 19, 2025 and April 14, 2025 to the NEO that would vest as a result of such termination event based on our actual performance as of December 31, 2025, the assumed date of such termination event, which was at the maximum level of performance; and (ii) granted on February 22, 2023 to the NEO that would vest as a result of such termination event and for which actual performance during the performance period ended December 31, 2025 was 196%. In addition, the outstanding performance units will vest upon the NEO’s death or disability prior to the end of the applicable performance period, with the number of performance units vesting calculated based on our actual performance through the date of termination, prorated based on the number of days in the performance period that elapsed prior to such termination, pursuant to the terms of the award agreements governing such performance units. For the performance units granted in 2024 and 2025, in the event of the NEO’s retirement prior to the end of the performance period, a prorated portion of the performance units will vest after the end of the performance period on the date that the number of performance units earned is determined, with the number of performance units vesting calculated based on our actual performance for the performance period, prorated based on the number of days in the performance period that elapsed prior to such retirement. For purposes of this table, we have assumed that we will achieve target performance for the performance period. Value is calculated by multiplying the number of such unvested performance units that would vest by $97.90, the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on December 31, 2025.

Consists of continuation of group health benefits. The value of the health benefits was calculated using an estimate of the cost to us of such health coverage based upon past experience. Even though Mr. Scroggins is eligible to receive the continuation of group health benefits under the Severance Plan, he did not participate in our group health benefits as of December 31, 2025, so no amounts are included in his row.
We provide higher levels of life insurance coverage to certain of our executives, including our NEOs, than is generally available to our other employees. In the event of a termination due to death on December 31, 2025, in addition to the amounts, if any, set forth in the table above, each of our NEOs (or their estates) would be entitled under their respective life insurance policies to receive payments equal to four times their then-current base salaries, which base salary amounts are set forth above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—2025 Compensation Decisions—Base Compensation,” up to a maximum of $2 million.

Ratio of CEO Compensation to Median of Employees
As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of Mr. David S. Graziosi, our Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer. The pay ratio included below is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.
For 2025, our last completed fiscal year:
The median of the annual total compensation of all Allison employees, other than our CEO, was $99,524; and
The annual total compensation of our CEO was $8,028,346.
Based on this information, for 2025 the ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Graziosi, our Chief
Executive Officer, to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was 81 to 1.
We identified our median employee from our employee base as of December 31, 2025. To identify our median employee, as well as the annual total compensation of the median employee, the methodology and the material assumptions, adjustments and estimates that we used were as follows:
We determined that, as of December 31, 2025, our employee population excluding our CEO consisted of 3,732 individuals, with approximately 88% of these individuals located in the United States.
We compared the amount of cash wages, including base salary, hourly pay and cash bonuses, paid to our employees (other than our CEO) from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, as reflected in our payroll records. In making this determination, we annualized the compensation of approximately 166 full-time employees who were hired in 2025 but did not work for us the entire fiscal year.
Utilizing the median employee identified, we determined our median employee’s 2025 annual total compensation in the same manner that we determined the annual total compensation of our NEOs for the Summary Compensation Table.

Financial Performance Measures
As described in greater detail in “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” our executive compensation program reflects a pay-for-performance philosophy. The metrics that we use for both our long-term and short-term incentive awards are selected based on an objective of incentivizing our NEOs to increase the value of our enterprise for our stockholders. The most important financial performance measures we used to link executive compensation actually paid to our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to our performance are as follows:
Net Sales
Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Adjusted EBITDA as a Percent of Net Sales
Relative TSR (our TSR as compared to the peer group described in “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis”)
The compensation actually paid to Mr. Graziosi and the average compensation actually paid to the Non-PEO NEOs was generally aligned with our five-year cumulative TSR. Allison’s TSR steadily increased in 2021, 2022 and 2023 and the compensation actually paid mirrored that movement each year. The compensation actually paid to all of our NEOs took a large jump in 2024 primarily due to our stock price performance in 2024. This is visible in our five-year cumulative TSR, which is much higher than our peers, mostly driven by a strong 2024. In 2025, our TSR dropped slightly. The compensation actually paid to all of our NEOs dropped significantly in 2025 driven primarily by the change in equity value due to the change in stock price from year-end 2024 to year-end 2025. In the year our TSR was down, the compensation actually paid was less than the total compensation calculated using the grant date fair values reported in the Summary Compensation Table, and in the years our TSR was up, the compensation actually paid was more than the total compensation calculated using the grant date fair values reported in the Summary Compensation Table.


Compensation Actually Paid and Net income
The compensation actually paid to Mr. Graziosi and the average compensation actually paid to the Non-PEO NEOs was aligned with our Net income over the five-year period. Both Net income and compensation actually paid increased over the first four years of the five-year period. Net income and the compensation actually paid dropped in 2025. While we do not use Net income as a performance measure in our overall executive compensation program, the measure of Net income is correlated with Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales, which we do use when setting goals for the IComp program.

Compensation Actually Paid and Adjusted EBITDA as a Percent of Net Sales
We utilize Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales when setting goals in the IComp program. The Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales performance metric for the IComp program is weighted at 30%. The compensation actually paid to Mr. Graziosi and the average compensation actually paid to the Non-PEO NEOs was not aligned with our Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales in 2025 or 2024 like it was in 2023. The compensation actually paid to Mr. Graziosi and the average compensation actually paid to the Non-PEO NEOs decreased significantly in 2025 despite an increase in Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales compared to 2024. In 2024, there was a large jump in compensation actually paid to our NEOs, but a slight drop in Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales compared to 2023. In both years, this was because Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales only influences the IComp program and the changes in compensation actually paid to our NEOs were driven mostly by our stock price performance and the value of our NEOs’ equity awards. The compensation actually paid to Mr. Graziosi and the average compensation actually paid to the Non-PEO NEOs also appear to be misaligned with our Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales for 2021 and 2022; however, achievement against the annual target for the IComp program increased each year. The target Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales was decreased from 35.1% in 2021 to 34.02% in 2022 in anticipation of business changes during those years. We experienced increasing costs that impacted our margins during that timeframe, including labor, commodities and freight costs due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, engineering research and development and capital expenditures increased as we invested in programs to enhance our conventional portfolio and develop a portfolio of electric propulsion solutions, which impacted our margins. For further information regarding the IComp program, see “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis – 2025 Compensation Decisions – Annual Performance-Based Compensation (IComp)” above.

Questions and Answers about the Annual Meeting and Voting
Why did I receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials?
You are receiving proxy materials for the Annual Meeting because you owned shares of Allison common stock at the close of business on March 9, 2026, which is the record date for the Annual Meeting, or the Record Date, and that entitles you to vote at the Annual Meeting.
We are furnishing proxy materials to our stockholders primarily via the Internet, instead of mailing printed copies of those materials to each stockholder. On or about March 25, 2026, we mailed a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, or Notice, to substantially all of our stockholders. The Notice contains instructions about how to access our proxy materials and vote via the Internet. If you received a Notice and would like to receive a paper copy of our proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the Notice. If you previously chose to receive our proxy materials electronically, you will continue to receive access to these materials via email unless you elect otherwise.
Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?
Holders of our common stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to vote their shares at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, 83,129,419 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter properly brought before the Annual Meeting. By use of a proxy, you can ensure your shares are voted whether or not you attend the virtual Annual Meeting.
The presence at the Annual Meeting virtually or by proxy of the holders of record of a majority in voting power of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting, or 41,564,710 shares, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.
How can I participate in the virtual Annual Meeting?
We will have a virtual-only Annual Meeting in 2026. To participate in the virtual meeting, please visit www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ALSN2026 and enter the 16-digit control number included in your Notice or on your proxy card or voting instruction form. You may log into the meeting platform beginning at 9:45 a.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, May 6, 2026. The meeting will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
How can I submit questions at the virtual Annual Meeting?
If you wish to submit a question during the Annual Meeting, you may log into www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ALSN2026, enter your 16-digit control number and enter a question at the applicable place and click “submit.” We will answer questions relevant to meeting matters that comply with the meeting rules of conduct during the Annual Meeting. Our meeting rules of conduct will be posted on the Annual Meeting website.
What will I be voting on at the Annual Meeting and how does our Board recommend that I vote?
There are three proposals that stockholders will vote on at the Annual Meeting:
Proposal No. 1: To elect nine directors to serve until the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, or until their successors are duly elected and qualified;
Proposal No. 2: To ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026; and
Proposal No. 3: An advisory non-binding vote to approve the compensation paid to our named executive officers.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our Board recommends that you vote:
Proposal No. 1: “FOR” the election of each of the nine directors nominated by our Board to serve until the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, or until their successors are duly elected and qualified;
Proposal No. 2: “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026; and
Proposal No. 3: “FOR” the approval of, in an advisory non-binding vote, the compensation paid to our named executive officers.
David S. Graziosi, Scott A. Mell and Eric C. Scroggins, three of our executive officers, have been selected by our Board to serve as proxy holders for the Annual Meeting. All shares of our common stock represented by properly delivered proxies received in time for the Annual Meeting will be voted at the Annual Meeting by the proxy holders in the manner specified by the stockholder. If you sign and return a proxy card without indicating how you want your shares to be voted, the persons named as proxies will vote your shares in accordance with the recommendations of our Board.
What does it mean if I receive more than one Notice, proxy card or voting instruction form?
If you received more than one Notice, proxy card or voting instruction form, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. Please follow the voting instructions included on each Notice, proxy card and voting instruction form to ensure that all of your shares are voted.
What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?
If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (formerly known as American Stock Transfer & Trust Company LLC), you are considered, with respect to those shares, the “stockholder of record.” The Notice has been or will be sent directly to you, unless you previously requested printed copies of our proxy materials.
If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of those shares held in street name. The Notice has been or will be sent to you by your broker, bank or other holder of record who is considered, with respect to those shares, to be the stockholder of record, unless you previously requested printed copies of our proxy materials. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other holder of record on how to vote the shares in your account.
How do I vote?
Stockholder of Record. If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote by using any of the following methods:
Through the Internet. You may vote by proxy through the Internet no later than 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 5, 2026 by following the instructions on the Notice or the instructions on the proxy card if you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail.
By Telephone. If you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you may vote by proxy by calling, no later than 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 5, 2026, the toll free number found on the proxy card and following the recorded instructions.
By Mail. If you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you may vote by proxy by completing, signing and dating the proxy card and sending it back in the envelope provided. Properly executed proxies that are received in time and not subsequently revoked will be voted as instructed on the proxy card.
During the Annual Meeting. If you attend the Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ALSN2026 and entering the 16-digit control number included in your Notice or on your proxy card, you may vote your shares online during the live webcast. We encourage you, however, to vote by proxy through the Internet, by telephone or by mail even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting so that your shares will be voted in the event you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owners. If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you may vote by using any of the following methods:
Through the Internet. You may vote by proxy through the Internet no later than 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 5, 2026 by following the instructions provided in the Notice or the instructions on the voting instruction form if you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail.
By Telephone. If you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you may vote by proxy by calling, no later than 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 5, 2026, the toll free number found on the voting instruction form and following the recorded instructions.
By Mail. If you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you may vote by proxy by completing, signing and dating the voting instruction form and sending it back in the envelope provided. Properly executed voting instruction forms that are received in time and not subsequently revoked will be voted as instructed on the voting instruction form.
During the Annual Meeting. If you attend the Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ALSN2026 and entering the 16-digit control number included in your Notice or on your voting instruction form, you may vote your shares online during the live webcast. We encourage you, however, to vote by proxy through the Internet, by telephone or by mail even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting so that your shares will be voted in the event you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.
May I change my vote after I have submitted a proxy?
If you are a stockholder of record, you have the power to revoke your proxy at any time by:
delivering to our Secretary an instrument revoking the proxy;
delivering a new proxy in writing, through the Internet or by telephone, dated after the date of the proxy being revoked; or
attending the Annual Meeting and voting online during the live webcast (attendance without casting a vote online during the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, constitute revocation of a proxy).
If you are a beneficial owner of shares, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your broker, bank or other holder of record. You may also revoke your previous voting instructions by voting online during the live webcast of the Annual Meeting.
Is my vote confidential?
We maintain the confidentiality of the votes of individual stockholders. Proxy forms and voting instruction forms returned to brokerage firms, banks and other holders of record are kept confidential. Only the proxy tabulator and the inspector of election have access to the proxy cards and voting instruction forms. The proxy tabulator will disclose information taken from the proxy cards and voting instruction forms only if there is a proxy contest, if the stockholder authorizes disclosure, to defend legal claims or as otherwise required by law. If you write comments on your proxy card or voting instruction form, management may learn how you voted in reviewing your comments.
Who will serve as the proxy tabulator and inspector of election?
A representative from Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. will serve as the independent inspector of election and will tabulate votes cast by proxy or online during the Annual Meeting. We will report the results in a current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.
What vote is required to approve each proposal?
The shares of a stockholder who votes “abstain” on any or all proposals will be included in the number of shares present at the Annual Meeting to determine whether a quorum is present.
If you are a beneficial owner of shares and do not provide the record holder of your shares with specific voting instructions, your record holder may vote on the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026 (Proposal No. 2). However, your record holder cannot vote your shares without specific instructions on the election of directors (Proposal No. 1) and the advisory non-binding vote to approve the

compensation paid to our named executive officers (Proposal No. 3). If your record holder does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on Proposal No. 1 or Proposal No. 3, your record holder will inform the inspector of election that it does not have the authority to vote on that proposal with respect to your shares. This is generally referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Broker non-votes will be included in the number of shares present at the Annual Meeting to determine whether a quorum is present, but they will not be counted in determining the outcome of the vote on Proposal No. 1 or Proposal No. 3.
A proxy that is signed and returned to us will be voted in the manner directed therein. If properly signed and returned, but no such direction is made, any proxy will be voted (i) “FOR” our Board’s nine nominees for director, (ii) “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026, (iii) “FOR” the approval of, in an advisory non-binding vote, the compensation paid to our named executive officers and (iv) in the discretion of the proxies on such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.
The following table summarizes the votes required for passage of each proposal and the effect of abstentions and broker non-votes.

No. 2 To ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026
Approval by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes)

Abstentions and broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the vote
Who is paying for the cost of this proxy solicitation?
Our Board is soliciting the proxy accompanying this proxy statement. We will pay all proxy solicitation costs. Proxies may be solicited by our officers, directors and employees, none of whom will receive any additional compensation for their services. These solicitations may be made personally or by mail, facsimile, telephone, messenger, email or the Internet. We will pay persons holding shares of common stock in their names or in the names of nominees, but not owning such shares beneficially, such as brokers, banks and other holders of record, for the expense of forwarding solicitation materials to the beneficial owners.
Is there a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?
A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for ten days prior to the meeting, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, at our offices at One Allison Way, Indianapolis, Indiana 46222. If you would like to view the stockholder list at our offices, please contact our Secretary to schedule an appointment.
I share an address with another stockholder, and we received only one paper copy of the proxy materials. How may I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials?
To reduce costs and diminish the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting, a single Notice or a single proxy statement and 2025 Annual Report to Stockholders, along with individual proxy cards, will be delivered in one envelope to certain stockholders having the same last name and address and to individuals with more than one account registered at our transfer agent with the same address, unless contrary instructions have been received

We will promptly deliver, upon written or oral request, individual copies of the proxy materials to any stockholder at the shared address to which single copies of those documents were delivered. If you are a stockholder of record and would like to enroll in this householding service or would like to receive individual copies of this year’s and/or future proxy materials, please contact our Secretary by mail at One Allison Way, Indianapolis, Indiana 46222 or by phone at (317) 242-5000. If you are a beneficial owner, you may contact the broker or bank where you hold the account to enroll in this householding service or to receive individual copies of this year’s and/or future proxy materials.
Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?
As of the date of this proxy statement, our Board is not aware of any matters, other than those described in this proxy statement, which are to be voted on at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly raised at the Annual Meeting, however, the persons named as proxy holders intend to vote the shares represented by your proxy in accordance with their judgment on such matters.
