Honeywell is seeking shareholder approval for a 1-for-2 reverse stock split, intended to maintain a desirable per-share price following the anticipated spin-off of its Aerospace business. This move, while dilutive in terms of share count, aims to improve marketability post-spin.

The filing also provides a more precise expected spin-off date for Honeywell Aerospace as June 29, 2026.
