Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Honeywell (HON) has signed an agreement to terminate its 2018 Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement with Resideo. In exchange for cancelling all future variable payments (capped at $140 M per year through 2043), Resideo Intermediate Holding (RIH) will make a one-time cash payment of $1.59 B to Honeywell at closing, expected no later than 29 Aug 2025 (extension to 30 Oct 2025 at Honeywell’s option). A scheduled $35 M quarterly payment was already received on 29 Jul 2025.

From signing to closing, scheduled indemnity payments are suspended and, if closing occurs, permanently forgiven. If the deal fails to close and Honeywell terminates after 29 Aug 2025 (or Resideo after 30 Oct 2025), Resideo must pay a $100 M liquidated-damage fee and the original indemnity agreement remains in force with accrued interest (5% p.a.). Resideo and RIH represent that committed financing, plus cash on hand, will cover the payment; their obligations are not conditioned on funding.

Separately, Honeywell’s Board amended and restated the company By-laws on 25 Jul 2025, adding Article V, Section 17 to designate a Senior Management Official for U.S. National Industrial Security Program compliance.

Honeywell (HON) ha firmato un accordo per terminare il suo Accordo di Indennizzo e Rimborso del 2018 con Resideo. In cambio dell'annullamento di tutti i pagamenti variabili futuri (con un tetto di 140 milioni di dollari all'anno fino al 2043), Resideo Intermediate Holding (RIH) effettuerà un pagamento in contanti una tantum di 1,59 miliardi di dollari a Honeywell alla chiusura, prevista entro il 29 agosto 2025 (con possibilità di estensione fino al 30 ottobre 2025 a discrezione di Honeywell). Un pagamento trimestrale programmato di 35 milioni di dollari è già stato ricevuto il 29 luglio 2025.

Dal momento della firma fino alla chiusura, i pagamenti di indennizzo programmati sono sospesi e, in caso di chiusura, saranno definitivamente cancellati. Se l'accordo non si concluderà e Honeywell rescinderà dopo il 29 agosto 2025 (o Resideo dopo il 30 ottobre 2025), Resideo dovrà pagare una penale di 100 milioni di dollari e l'accordo di indennizzo originale rimarrà in vigore con gli interessi maturati (5% annuo). Resideo e RIH dichiarano che il finanziamento impegnato, insieme alla liquidità disponibile, coprirà il pagamento; i loro obblighi non sono subordinati al finanziamento.

Separatamente, il Consiglio di Amministrazione di Honeywell ha modificato e riscritto lo statuto aziendale il 25 luglio 2025, aggiungendo l'Articolo V, Sezione 17 per designare un Responsabile Senior per la conformità al Programma Nazionale di Sicurezza Industriale degli Stati Uniti.

Honeywell (HON) ha firmado un acuerdo para terminar su Acuerdo de Indemnización y Reembolso de 2018 con Resideo. A cambio de cancelar todos los pagos variables futuros (con un límite de 140 millones de dólares anuales hasta 2043), Resideo Intermediate Holding (RIH) realizará un pago único en efectivo de 1.590 millones de dólares a Honeywell al cierre, previsto a más tardar el 29 de agosto de 2025 (con opción de prórroga hasta el 30 de octubre de 2025 a elección de Honeywell). Un pago trimestral programado de 35 millones de dólares ya fue recibido el 29 de julio de 2025.

Desde la firma hasta el cierre, los pagos programados de indemnización quedan suspendidos y, si se concreta el cierre, serán perdonados permanentemente. Si el acuerdo no se cierra y Honeywell rescinde después del 29 de agosto de 2025 (o Resideo después del 30 de octubre de 2025), Resideo deberá pagar una multa por daños liquidados de 100 millones de dólares y el acuerdo original de indemnización permanecerá vigente con intereses acumulados (5% anual). Resideo y RIH aseguran que la financiación comprometida, junto con el efectivo disponible, cubrirá el pago; sus obligaciones no dependen de la financiación.

Honeywell (HON) a signé un accord mettant fin à son Accord d'Indemnisation et de Remboursement de 2018 avec Resideo. En échange de l'annulation de tous les paiements variables futurs (plafonnés à 140 millions de dollars par an jusqu'en 2043), Resideo Intermediate Holding (RIH) effectuera un paiement unique en espèces de 1,59 milliard de dollars à Honeywell à la clôture, prévue au plus tard le 29 août 2025 (avec une option de prolongation jusqu'au 30 octobre 2025 à la discrétion de Honeywell). Un paiement trimestriel programmé de 35 millions de dollars a déjà été reçu le 29 juillet 2025.

De la signature à la clôture, les paiements d'indemnisation prévus sont suspendus et, en cas de clôture, définitivement annulés. Si l'accord ne se conclut pas et que Honeywell résilie après le 29 août 2025 (ou Resideo après le 30 octobre 2025), Resideo devra payer une pénalité forfaitaire de 100 millions de dollars et l'accord d'indemnisation initial restera en vigueur avec les intérêts accumulés (5 % par an). Resideo et RIH déclarent que le financement engagé, ainsi que la trésorerie disponible, couvriront le paiement ; leurs obligations ne sont pas conditionnées au financement.

Séparément, le conseil d'administration de Honeywell a modifié et reformulé les statuts de la société le 25 juillet 2025, ajoutant l'article V, section 17 pour désigner un cadre supérieur responsable de la conformité au Programme national de sécurité industrielle des États-Unis.

Honeywell (HON) hat eine Vereinbarung zur Beendigung seines Indemnifizierungs- und Rückerstattungsvertrags von 2018 mit Resideo unterzeichnet. Im Gegenzug für die Streichung aller zukünftigen variablen Zahlungen (begrenzt auf 140 Mio. USD pro Jahr bis 2043) wird Resideo Intermediate Holding (RIH) bei Vertragsabschluss eine einmalige Barzahlung von 1,59 Mrd. USD an Honeywell leisten, die voraussichtlich spätestens am 29. August 2025 erfolgt (Verlängerung bis zum 30. Oktober 2025 nach Wahl von Honeywell möglich). Eine planmäßige vierteljährliche Zahlung von 35 Mio. USD wurde bereits am 29. Juli 2025 erhalten.

Von der Unterzeichnung bis zum Abschluss sind die geplanten Entschädigungszahlungen ausgesetzt und werden bei Abschluss dauerhaft erlassen. Sollte der Deal nicht zustande kommen und Honeywell nach dem 29. August 2025 kündigen (oder Resideo nach dem 30. Oktober 2025), muss Resideo eine vertraglich festgelegte Schadensersatzzahlung von 100 Mio. USD leisten und der ursprüngliche Entschädigungsvertrag bleibt mit aufgelaufenen Zinsen (5 % p.a.) in Kraft. Resideo und RIH versichern, dass die zugesagte Finanzierung plus vorhandene liquide Mittel die Zahlung abdecken; ihre Verpflichtungen sind nicht an die Finanzierung gebunden.

Separat hat der Honeywell-Vorstand am 25. Juli 2025 die Unternehmenssatzung geändert und neu gefasst, wobei Artikel V, Abschnitt 17 hinzugefügt wurde, um einen leitenden Managementbeauftragten für die Einhaltung des US National Industrial Security Program zu benennen.

Positive
  • $1.59 B lump-sum payment provides immediate cash inflow and removes multiyear collection uncertainty.
  • $100 M break-fee protects Honeywell if the transaction does not close.
  • Suspension and potential forgiveness of interim payments reduces administrative burden and litigation risk.
Negative
  • Transaction has not yet closed; failure would reinstate the original agreement with accrued interest.
  • Honeywell forfeits potential upside if future reimbursements would have exceeded $1.59 B (undetermined at this stage).

Insights

TL;DR: $1.59 B cash accelerates uncertain future indemnity receipts; modest execution risk until closing.

The deal converts a capped, multi-decade stream of environmental indemnity reimbursements into immediate liquidity, improving Honeywell’s near-term cash position and reducing counter-party exposure to Resideo. At a 5% discount rate, a $140 M annual cap through 2043 has an NPV similar to the agreed lump sum, suggesting fair value while eliminating administrative costs and variability. The $100 M break-fee and committed financing lower default risk, though the transaction remains subject to closing conditions by 29 Aug 2025 (extendable to 30 Oct 2025). Net effect is modestly positive for leverage metrics and capital allocation flexibility.

TL;DR: Terminates complex legacy agreement; new by-law clause adds security oversight.

Eliminating the indemnity contract simplifies Honeywell’s contingent asset reporting and removes prolonged governance monitoring of Resideo’s environmental liabilities. The amendment to the By-laws formalises senior-level accountability for classified-information compliance, aligning with federal security requirements. No adverse governance implications identified; the clear break-fee structure protects shareholders if financing fails.

Item 1.02    Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

As previously disclosed, on October 14, 2018, in connection with the complete legal and structural separation (the “Spin-Off”) of Resideo Technologies, Inc. (“Resideo”) from Honeywell International Inc. (the “Company”), the Company entered into certain agreements with Resideo, including an Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement, dated October 14, 2018, between New HAPI Inc. (as subsequently assigned to Resideo Intermediate Holding Inc. (“RIH”)) and the Company (the “Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement”), to which relevant Resideo subsidiaries have become parties.

Pursuant to the Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement, RIH has an obligation to make cash payments to the Company in amounts equal to 90% of payments, which include amounts billed (“payments”), with respect to certain environmental claims, remediation and, to the extent arising after the Spin-Off, hazardous exposure or toxic tort claims, in each case, including consequential damages (the “liabilities”) in respect of specified properties contaminated through historical business operations, including the legal and other costs of defending and resolving such liabilities, less 90% of the Company’s net insurance receipts relating to such liabilities, and less 90% of the net proceeds received by the Company in connection with (i) affirmative claims relating to such liabilities, (ii) contributions by other parties relating to such liabilities and (iii) certain property sales (the “recoveries”). The amount payable by RIH in respect of such liabilities arising in any given year is subject to a cap of $140 million (exclusive of any late payment fees up to 5% per annum). The Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement was intended to remain in effect until the earlier of: (1) December 31, 2043; or (2) December 31 of the third consecutive year during which the annual indemnification obligation (including in respect of deferred payment amounts) has been less than $25 million.

On July 30, 2025, the Company, Resideo, RIH and certain guarantor parties thereto entered into a termination agreement (the “Agreement”) for the accelerated monetization of the Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement is expected to occur effective no later than August 29, 2025 (the “Closing”), which date may be extended by Honeywell to October 30, 2025, if the termination has not occurred and the Agreement has not otherwise been terminated by August 29, 2025.

Under the Agreement, at the Closing, RIH has agreed to pay the Company a one-time cash payment of $1.59 billion (the “Payment”), in lieu of all future payments to which the Company is entitled pursuant to the Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement. Additionally, on July 29, 2025, Resideo paid the Quarterly Payment of $35,000,000 to be paid pursuant to Section 2.3(c) of the Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement in connection with the Fiscal Quarter ending September 30, 2025.

From signing until Closing (or termination of the Agreement), any amounts that would otherwise be due under the Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement are suspended and tolled, and if the Closing occurs, these tolled amounts are not payable. However, if the Agreement is terminated, any such tolled amounts become due with 5% interest per annum.

Under the Agreement, Resideo and RIH represent and warrant that they have received financing commitments to secure financing sufficient, together with available cash on hand, to fund the Payment and that no material defaults exist under such financing arrangements. The obligations of Resideo and RIH under the Agreement are not conditioned on such financing being obtained. If the Closing does not occur by August 29, 2025 and the Agreement is terminated by Honeywell thereafter, or if the Closing does not occur by October 30, 2025 and the Agreement is terminated by Resideo thereafter, in each case when the financing to be received by Resideo has not yet been received, Resideo is required to pay the Company a fee of $100 million as liquidated damages and the Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement and all guarantees entered into pursuant to the terms thereof will remain in effect.

The foregoing description of the Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement, which was filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 15, 2018, which is incorporated by reference herein.





Item 5.03    Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

On July 25, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company amended and restated the By-laws of the Company (as amended and restated, the “By-laws”), effective as of such date, to include a new Section 17 in Article V related to the designation of a Senior Management Official for purposes of the United States National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the By-laws of the Company, filed herewith as Exhibit 3(i) and incorporated herein by reference.
