Resideo (REZI) outlines ADI spin-off, CD&R board seats and 2026 proxy votes
Resideo Technologies is asking shareholders to vote at its virtual 2026 annual meeting on June 3, 2026. Shareholders of record as of April 7, 2026 may vote online, by phone, mail, or during the webcast.
The agenda includes electing 11 directors, an advisory vote on executive compensation, ratifying the independent auditor, and a shareholder proposal to allow action by written consent, which the Board recommends voting against. The proxy highlights strong governance practices, including an independent chairman, majority voting for directors, proxy access, board and committee independence, and robust risk oversight.
Resideo describes 2025 as a year of strategic transformation and notes the planned tax-free spin-off of its ADI distribution segment, after which ADI and the Products & Solutions business will operate as separate public companies. CEO Jay Geldmacher’s retirement is expected to become effective upon completion of the ADI spin-off, followed by a six-month advisory role. The company also notes an agreement for CD&R-affiliated investors to purchase Series A preferred stock tied to its Snap One acquisition, giving them the right to designate up to two directors, currently Nathan Sleeper and John Stroup.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- None.
Insights
Resideo uses this proxy to formalize a board refresh, spin-off plans, and governance stance while keeping its overall risk profile stable.
The proxy outlines a largely independent, committee-driven Board with 10 of 11 directors classified as independent and all five key committees composed solely of independent members. Features such as majority voting for uncontested director elections, proxy access, no poison pill, and stock ownership guidelines for directors and executives align with mainstream governance practices.
Strategically, the document reiterates the planned tax-free spin-off of the ADI distribution segment, after which Products & Solutions will remain as Resideo and ADI will be a separate public company. CEO Jay Geldmacher’s retirement is linked to the ADI spin-off, with segment presidents Tom Surran and Rob Aarnes expected to lead the respective businesses, subject to Board approval. This indicates an orderly leadership handoff rather than abrupt turnover.
The proxy also discloses an investment agreement with Clayton, Dubilier & Rice funds tied to the Snap One acquisition, under which CD&R’s ownership of Series A preferred stock permits up to two board designees while they hold specified ownership thresholds. That introduces a significant financial sponsor voice on the Board, but within defined governance parameters. Overall, the filing refines structure and oversight rather than signaling a sharp change in near-term financial outlook.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
• | In August 2025, we terminated the Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement (“Indemnification Agreement”) with Honeywell, resulting in the elimination of Resideo’s obligation to make annual payments to Honeywell of up to $140 million through 2043 for certain Honeywell environmental liabilities covered by the Indemnification Agreement. |
• | On July 30, 2025, Resideo announced its intention to separate our ADI Global Distribution (“ADI”) segment through a tax-free spin-off to Resideo shareholders (the “ADI Spin-Off”). The ADI Spin-Off is expected to result in two public companies which we believe are leading players in their distinct areas: |
○ | Products & Solutions, which will be Resideo after the ADI Spin-Off, as a leading building products manufacturer focused on residential controls and sensing solutions that maximize comfort, help ensure safety and security, and deliver cost savings and value. |
○ | ADI, which will be a separate public company after the ADI Spin-Off, as a leading global specialty distributor of professionally installed low-voltage products, including security and audio-visual solutions. |
○ | The ADI Spin-Off is expected to be completed in the second half of 2026, subject to customary conditions. |
• | Resideo continued to execute well against our strategic initiatives. We delivered record net revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS, and exceeded the high end of the range for all the metrics we provided in our annual financial outlook, in spite of a dynamic and uncertain global macroeconomic environment. |
• | Net revenue of $7.5 billion, increasing 11% year-over-year, supported in part by organic growth from both the ADI and Products and Solutions business segments. |
• | Our commitment to new product introduction remained evident in 2025, with ten major new product introductions by Products and Solutions, including the First Alert® SC5 connected smoke and carbon monoxide detector and the Honeywell Home® ElitePRO thermostat. We believe customer reception for these new products has been very positive and is building demand momentum for another year of exciting new product introductions in 2026. |
• | Gross margin of 29.4%, a 130-basis-point increase from 2024. The gross margin expansion was led by a 110-basis-point increase in Products and Solutions gross margin (11th consecutive quarters of year-over-year gross margin expansion) and a 200-basis-point increase in ADI gross margin (7th consecutive quarters of year-over-year gross margin expansion). |
• | Cash used in operations was $1,137 million. Adjusted cash provided by operations was $453 million, a 2% increase from 2024. This amount is adjusted to add back the one-time $1,590 million payment to Honeywell in August 2025 to terminate the Indemnification Agreement. |

The information in the column “Deferred Stock Units” is not required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission because the deferred stock units carry no voting rights, and the non-employee director has no right or ability to convert the deferred stock units to common stock within 60 days of April 7, 2026.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
• | The RPP is a tax-qualified pension plan in which employees who were participants in the Honeywell pension plans prior to the spin-off from Honeywell participate. |
• | The RPP complies with tax requirements applicable to broad-based pension plans, which impose dollar limits on the compensation that can be used to calculate benefits and on the amount of benefits that can be provided. As a result, the pensions that can be paid under the RPP for higher-paid employees represent a much smaller fraction of current income than the pensions that can be paid to less highly paid employees. We make up for this difference, in part, by providing supplemental pensions through the SPP. |
• | If an NEO who is eligible to receive a benefit under the SPP and terminates employment, the NEO’s benefit under the SPP will be paid to the NEO 105 days after his or her termination date. |
• | The Retirement Earnings Plan (“REP”) formula is used to determine the amount of pension benefits for each of our NEOs under the RPP and the SPP. Under this formula, benefits are paid as a lump sum equal to (a) 3% or 6% of final average compensation (the average of a participant’s annual compensation for the five calendar years that produces the highest average out of the previous 10 calendar years) multiplied by (b) credited service. |

(1) | Any payments and benefits in connection with a change in control may be reduced pursuant to a “best net” provision, which would apply in the event that an NEO’s severance benefits were subject to excise taxes pursuant to Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. |
(2) | Severance amounts in the event of involuntary termination not related to a CIC represent a cash payment equal to 18 months of annual base salary for NEOs other than Mr. Geldmacher. Pursuant to the transition agreements between Mr. Geldmacher and the Company, he is no longer covered under the Severance Plan, so no cash (salary), annual incentive or health severance benefits are included in the table above for him. Severance amounts reported for other named executives related to an involuntary termination or termination for good reason related to a CIC represent a cash payment equal to 24 months of annual base salary, based on the highest base salary paid during the preceding 36 months, as well as two times the NEO’s annual incentive calculated based on the greater of the average annual incentive target for the preceding 3 years or the NEO’s current target annual incentive compensation. NEOs are not entitled to severance for an involuntary termination without cause unrelated to a CIC; however, in the limited circumstance such termination occurs in connection with a reduction-in-force between December 31, 2025 and the payment date, the NEO would be entitled to receive the payout if the NEO signs a release. |
(3) | In addition to the amounts reflected in the final two columns, if an NEO is terminated without cause in situations following a CIC or divestiture, the NEO will also be entitled to a pro-rated Annual Incentive Award for the period of employment during the year of termination. |
(4) | Amounts represent the intrinsic value of RSUs and PSUs as of December 31, 2025 for which the vesting would be accelerated pursuant to the award terms described above. The value included for RSUs and PSUs is the product of the number of units for which vesting would be accelerated and $35.12, the closing price of Resideo common stock on December 31, 2025. |
(5) | The amounts reflected represent the Company’s cost for continuation of benefits, such as medical, dental, vision and life insurance, for the Salary Continuation Period as defined under the Severance Plan. |
