        Letter from CEO David Petratis 

Dear 
Shareholders, 

At precisely 9:30 a.m. on 
December 2, 2013, Allegion 
debuted on the New York  
Stock Exchange as a standalone,  
publicly traded company.  

Our commercial and residential security businesses 
were separated from Ingersoll Rand and we became 
an independent company—a move that allowed us to 
do several things. First, we were able to pursue a more 
focused strategy. Second, our Board of Directors and 
management were able to focus exclusively on our 
business’ growth and expansion. Third, the move 
permits Allegion to align its capital allocation strategies 
behind a focused security portfolio. And finally, we 
were able to provide investors with a more targeted 
investment opportunity.

The spin-off was a milestone in our company’s 
history. But it was far from the first. The brands that 
make up Allegion were founded by some of the true 
originators of the international safety and security 
industry—making us a new company with over a 
century of experience in developing products that 
keep people safe where they live, work and visit.   

Our brands span the globe—from the Americas, to  
our Europe, Middle East, India and Africa (EMEIA)  
and Asia-Pacific regions. We own 27 brands and  
do business in more than 120 countries—basically, 
wherever the sun rises or sets. We operate 19 
manufacturing facilities with more than 8,000 
employees and 700 sales representatives—an 
incomparable company of experts, all of whom  
have already contributed immeasurably to  
Allegion’s launch.

It’s a good time 
to be Allegion

We are in attractive, recovering markets. 
We have industry-leading brands. We 
possess strong operational capabilities 
that support the needs of our customers. 
We deliver market-leading financial 
performance and cash flows. Overall, 
we believe this forms the foundation for 
long-term success. Already, we’re listed 
on the S&P 500. We’ve begun to deliver 
on our promises to our shareholders, 
our customers and our employees. 
We’ve declared dividends, completed 
a strategic acquisition, made an equity 
investment and we’re generating cash 
flow—which is key to our growth strategy.

The bottom line is we’re a strong, 
innovative company poised for 
sustainable, profitable growth in 
the markets we serve today. We will 
continue this momentum with an eye to 
the future and our customers’ success.

Five pillars 
of growth

Expand in  
core markets 

Grow in  
emerging markets  

Innovation in 
existing and new 
product categories  

Operational 
excellence 

Opportunistic 
acquisitions

Our strategies

Allegion launched at the end of 2013. And in  
our first year, we’re forming the foundation of  
our future success.

To achieve sustained, profitable growth, we’ve 
identified the ways in which we’re planning to 
develop: by expanding in core markets; by growing 
in emerging markets; by innovating in existing  
and new product categories; by focusing on 
operational excellence and by seeking 
opportunistic acquisitions.

Expand in core markets
We understand end-user needs and regulatory 
requirements in the market’s key segments, 
including education; health care; government; and 
general commercial and residential (single and 
multi-family). We’ve developed specific value 
propositions across those segments, and we’ll 
continue to leverage our knowledge and experience 
to find the opportunities that best serve our 
end-users. We’ll continue to invest in our products, 
and we’ll expand our specification and service 
capabilities. 

We see a great opportunity in the North American 
market recovery, where our largest position of 
revenue and profitability exists.

Grow in emerging markets
As shown by our growing Asia-Pacific sales, we 
have a proven history of successfully entering 
developing markets. And we intend to expand 
further when it makes sense.

As global safety demands increase, and security 
requirements grow more sophisticated, we will find 
opportunities for growth. And as economically 
developing markets achieve higher living standards 
and greater urbanization, we’ll be there to innovate 
and to shape the security products industry, and 
keep people safe where they work and live.

We’ll invest further in supply chain capabilities, and 
we’ll work with local partners and code-making 
bodies to promote efficient, consistent safety and 
security standards.

             Letter from CEO David Petratis, cont.

Innovation in existing  
and new product categories
Increasingly, end-users are embracing 
electronic security, with electronic-related 
product sales growing at nearly twice the 
rate of traditional mechanical solutions.

The future of our company lies in addressing 
the needs of an increasingly connected 
world—and we’re already meeting that 
challenge by crafting innovative solutions 
(such as a recent solution for remote 
classroom lockdown in schools).

Moving forward, we intend to invest even 
further in the electronic part of our business, 
while maintaining a constant level of 
dedication to the continuous improvement 
and advancement of our mechanical 
products.

According to IMS Research, we’re the world’s 
leading global manufacturer and marketer of 
electro-magnetic locks. Through continued 
investment and product development, we 
expect to expand our market leadership to 
other product categories.

Operational excellence
We’re proud of our operational expertise.  
But we can’t be satisfied. It’s in our DNA  
to constantly search out ways to make our 
best efforts better.

Our operational excellence begins with 
understanding what our customers value. 
Once we’ve identified their specific needs, we 
create value that differentiates us from our 
competition. Finally, we improve our internal 
systems and processes as we deliver 
increased value to our customers.

Our ability to deliver tailored solutions to 
end-users within a short timeframe is a 
competitive advantage, and one of the keys 
to our success. In selected locations, our 
restructuring initiatives have already begun 
to reduce overall supply chain cycle time, 
leveraging the Americas’ expertise in 
operational excellence to drive improved 
EMEIA margin performance. We will continue 
to look for efficiencies in other locations 
around the globe.

Opportunistic acquisitions
In January 2014, we acquired certain assets 
of Schlage Lock de Columbia S.A. And in March, 
we made a strategic equity investment in 
Germany’s Eco Schulte. These were important 
first steps in executing our growth strategy, 
and will serve us well as we expand our 
product lines around the world.

But we don’t intend to stop there. A 
disciplined approach to acquisitions is a 
significant part of our growth strategy. We’ve 
already identified (and will continue to 
identify) new targets that will broaden our 
product portfolio, expand our geographic 
footprint and boost our position in strategic 
market segments.

Redefine security
In a constantly changing industry, we’re 
always seeking to address the next safety 
challenges before they arrive. By addressing 
the growing convergence of emerging 
technology and mechanical hardware, we’re 
redefining security for our end-users. And as 
we follow our growth strategies, we’re also 
providing new measures of security for our 
customers, employees and shareholders.

The increased demand  for electronic security Our greatest institutional expertise has always focused on the devices that close, control and protect entry to the places where people live, work and visit. Now, we’re experiencing a technological revolution in those devices, with end-users wanting intelligent remote operations and dierent methods of gaining entry—such as cards, phones and even eyes. Our pioneering spirit gives us the capability to develop and introduce innovative electronic technologies, while retaining our leading position in the mechanical industry.  Of course, none of this would be possible without our 8,000 hard-working employees around the world. Our company’s past success has been rooted in hard work and inspiration. And while individual inventions can always be improved, the hard work and innovation that create them remain timeless.We are a team of experts  Our years of experience have given us a deep familiarity with the many dierent variances of building codes around the world. This expertise enables our specification writers and engineers to accurately identify a project’s unique needs and deliver the appropriate security solutions for architects, contractors, distribution partners and end-users. Specification writing is an important strength for us, and one that we will continue to leverage. Whenever we can establish our products in new construction, whether residential or commercial, we can remain there for the future life of that structure, to provide any required modifications or add-ons.Setting a benchmark  for growthIn this, our first year as an independent company, we stand as a respected, leading global provider of security products and solutions. In homes and businesses alike, we create peace of mind by securing all the places where people live and thrive, whether at work or play.  Over 100 years and thousands of miles, our brands can boast a proud history of looking forward. And in the months, years and decades to come, we will continue to meet the security challenges of our age in the same ways that our forebears met the challenges of theirs—by anticipating the next test, by outperforming our competitors—and by pioneering safety.  Regards,   David Petratis Chairman, President and Chief Executive OcerAllegion plc            Past. Present. Future.

Where 
we’ve been

The brands that make up Allegion began by solving problems in 

new ways. And they’ve remained trailblazers in the decades since. 

A proud heir to that tradition, Allegion believes that those who 

stay focused on the future will always find new ground to break. 

Allegion became an independent company on December 1, 2013, 

and began trading on the NYSE the next day—bringing with it such 

historic businesses as Schlage, Von Duprin and CISA. Though we 

are a new company, we hold a wealth of experience in customer 

service and expertise—a unique heritage that will enable us to 

swiftly expand our leadership role.

pioneering spirit  
of our originators.

In a future that may 
sometimes seem perilous 
and unsure, we provide 
our customers with 
unparalleled safety and 
peace of mind. In this first 
year, and in all years to 
follow, Allegion is and  
will be working to give  
the world a dose of 
much-needed normalcy.

Where we’re going
Now, it’s 2014, and we’re 
still learning what it 
means to be Allegion.  
We are proud of our rich 
history, and excited to take 
ownership of the vast 
future that lies before us.

We intend to run this 
company as a house of 
brands—adding new ones 
where it makes sense, and 
keeping an eye on the 
ever-evolving security 
landscape. As businesses 
and institutions around 
the world face new 
security challenges,  
we will intensify our 
commitment to research 
and development; and 
produce innovative 

solutions that ease our 
customers’ minds, and 
free them to focus on  
their goals.

As electronic and 
mechanical landscapes 
converge, we will continue 
to lead the way, and look 
ahead to new possibilities. 
In emerging markets, too, 
we are forging ahead—
embracing growth 
opportunities, and setting 
new standards for safety 
and security. 

Finally, as a new company 
made up of long-respected, 
market-leading brands,  
we are acting as a team  
of experts—working in 
unison, and honoring the

      Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP earnings from continuing operations  

The Company has presented revenue, operating income, operating margin, provision for income taxes, earnings from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share (EPS) from 
continuing operations on both a U.S. GAAP basis and on an adjusted basis because the Company’s management believes it may assist investors in evaluating the Company’s on-going 
operations as a standalone public company. Adjustments to revenue, operating income, operating margin, provision for income taxes, and earnings and diluted EPS from continuing 
operations include items that are considered to be unusual or infrequent in nature such as restructuring charges, non-cash goodwill impairment charges, one-time separation costs 
related to the spin-off from Ingersoll Rand, gain on property sale in China and certain discrete tax expenses and benefits. The Company considers these items unrelated to its core, 
on-going operating performance, and believes the use of these non-GAAP measures allows comparison of operating results that are consistent over time. The Company believes these 
non-GAAP disclosures provide important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition 
and results of operations. Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the performance of the business. Investors should not consider these non-GAAP  
measures as alternatives to the related GAAP measures.

1    Adjustments to net revenues for the year ended December 31, 
2013 and 2012 reflect the impact of a change in order flow 
through the Company’s consolidated joint venture in Asia 
resulting from a revised joint venture operating agreement 
signed in late 2013. Previously, the consolidated joint venture 
acted as a pass-through to the end customer. Going forward, 
products are shipped direct to the end customer with the joint 
venture receiving a royalty in an amount that approximates 
the lost margin. The consolidated joint venture will no longer 
recognize the revenue and cost of goods sold on these 
products. The change is not expected to have a material 
impact on operating income or on cash flows in future periods.

2    Adjustments to operating income for the year ended December 
31, 2013 consist of $5.9 million of costs incurred as part of the 
spin-off from Ingersoll Rand, $5.8 million of restructuring 
charges, a $137.6 million goodwill impairment charge and a 
$21.5 million gain on a property sale in China. Adjustments to 
operating income for the year ended December 31, 2012 include 
$8.2 million of restructuring charges and other expenses.

3    Adjustments to the provision for income taxes for the year 
ended December 31, 2013 consist of $4.7 million of tax 
expense related to the items excluded from operating income 
discussed above and a benefit of $44.8 million of discrete 
adjustments consisting of $31.5 million of expense related to 
valuation allowances on deferred tax assets that are no 
longer expected to be utilized and $13.3 million of net tax 
expense resulting primarily from transactions occurring to 
effect the spin-off from Ingersoll Rand. Adjustments to the 
provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 
2012 consist of $2.5 million of tax expense related to the 
items excluded from operating income discussed above.

4    Adjustments to non-controlling interest for the year ended 
December 31, 2013 consist of the portion of adjustments 
described in 2 and 3 above that are not attributable to 
Allegion plc shareholders.

Advisory Approval of Our Executive Compensation 

We are asking for your advisory approval of the compensation of our named executive officers. While our Board of 

Directors intends to carefully consider the shareholder vote resulting from the proposal, the final vote will not be binding on us 
and is advisory in nature. Before considering this proposal, please read our Compensation Discussion and Analysis, which 
explains our executive compensation program and the Compensation Committee’s compensation decisions.

Executive Compensation

Pay-for Performance

On December 1, 2013, we became an independent public company following the spin-off of our commercial and 

residential security businesses from Ingersoll-Rand plc (“Ingersoll Rand”).  Prior to the spin-off, our named executive officers 
were employees of Ingersoll Rand and their compensation was determined by the Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee.  
In connection with his hiring, the Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee established certain Allegion performance 

targets that were required to be achieved prior to Mr. Petratis receiving an annual incentive award for 2013.  Based on our 2013 
performance, Mr. Petratis achieved an overall score of 194% of target. 

The 2013 compensation of our other named executive officers was based on achievement of financial performance 

metrics by Ingersoll Rand, which included Allegion’s performance for the full year. Ingersoll Rand achieved the following 
strong financial performance in 2013:

•  Adjusted annual revenue of $14.509 billion, an increase of 3% over 2012;

•  Adjusted operating income of $1.639 billion, an increase of 8% over 2012;

•  Adjusted operating income margin of 11.3 %, an increase of 0.5 percentage points from 10.8% in 2012;

•  Adjusted available cash flow of $1.153 billion, an increase of 14% over 2012;

•  Adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $3.63 excluding one-time spin related expense, an increase of 10% 

• 

over 2012; and
3-year EPS growth (2011 - 2013) of 68.1%, which ranks at approximately the 75th percentile of the 
companies in the S&P 500 Industrials Index.

Based on this performance, Ingersoll Rand achieved an annual incentive program financial score of 124.6 % of target 
for the enterprise, 138.1% of target for Security Technologies, 145.2% for Security Technologies - Commercial Americas and 
99.8% for Security Technologies - Asia Pacific.

Item 2. Advisory Approval of the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers

We are presenting the following proposal, commonly known as a “Say-on-Pay” proposal, which gives you as a 
shareholder the opportunity to endorse or not endorse our compensation program for named executive officers (“NEOs”) by 
voting for or against the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the shareholders approve the compensation of the Company’s NEOs, as disclosed in the 
Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables, and the related disclosure contained in the Company’s 
proxy statement.”

While our Board of Directors intends to carefully consider the shareholder vote resulting from the proposal, the final vote 

will not be binding on us and is advisory in nature.

On December 1, 2013, our commercial and residential security businesses spun-off from Ingersoll-Rand plc (“Ingersoll 

Rand”) and we became an independent public company (the “Spin-off”).  Prior to the Spin-off, the Ingersoll Rand 
Compensation Committee established the compensation for our NEOs in 2013.  Mr. Petratis’s annual incentive compensation 
was based on certain financial metrics established for Allegion.  For our other NEOs, their annual incentive compensation was 
based on Ingersoll Rand’s 2013 performance for the full year, including Allegion’s performance for the post-Spin-off period.

Going forward, our Compensation Committee has adopted the following design principles for our executive 

compensation program:

•  Create and reinforce our pay-for-performance culture;

•  Align the interests of management with our shareholders;

•  Attract, retain and motivate executive talent by providing competitive levels of salary and total targeted pay;

• 

• 

Provide incentive compensation that promotes desired behavior without encouraging unnecessary and excessive 
risk; and

Integrate with the our performance management process of goal setting and formal evaluation.

By following these design principles, we believe that our compensation program for NEOs is strongly aligned with the 

long-term interests of our shareholders.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR advisory approval of the compensation of our NEOs as 

disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables, and the related disclosure contained in 
this proxy statement.

4

Item 3. Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Holding a Say-on-Pay Vote 

As part of its commitment to understanding shareholder sentiment on our executive compensation philosophy and 
practices, the Board of Directors is seeking shareholders’ views on how frequently we should submit executive compensation 
for consideration by shareholders. 

Shareholders may vote to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation every one, two or three years or abstain. 
After careful consideration, the Board of Directors is recommending that shareholders approve holding the Say-on-Pay vote 
every year. 

The Board of Directors believes holding an annual advisory vote on executive compensation is consistent with its policy 

of seeking regular input from shareholders on corporate governance matters and our executive compensation philosophy and 
practices. This vote is not binding but rather will provide the Compensation Committee with shareholders’ view on how 
frequently they desire to consider executive compensation. Although the vote is advisory, the Compensation Committee will 
take into account the outcome of the vote when considering how frequently we will submit executive compensation to a 
shareholder vote. 

The Board of Directors will carefully consider and expects to be guided by the alternative that receives the most 
shareholder support in determining the frequency of future say-on-pay votes. Notwithstanding the outcome of the shareholder 
vote, the Board of Directors may in the future decide to conduct advisory votes on a more or less frequent basis and may vary 
its practice based on factors such as discussions with shareholders and the adoption of material changes to compensation 
programs. 

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote to hold the Say-on-Pay vote every year. 

5

Item 4. Approval of Appointment of Independent Auditors

At the Annual General Meeting, shareholders will be asked to approve the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers 

(“PwC”) as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014, and to authorize the Audit and Finance 
Committee of our Board of Directors to set the independent auditors’ remuneration.  PwC acted as our independent auditor in 
2013 and has familiarity with our affairs.  Based on such familiarity and its ability, we believe PwC is best qualified to perform 
this important function.

Representatives of PwC will be present at the Annual General Meeting and will be available to respond to appropriate 

questions. They will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the proposal to approve the appointment of PwC as 
independent auditors of the Company and to authorize the Audit and Finance Committee of the Board of Directors to 
set the auditors’ remuneration.

Audit and Finance Committee Report

While management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the 
system of internal controls, the Audit and Finance Committee reviews the Company’s audited financial statements and financial 
reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. The independent auditors are responsible for performing an independent 
audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting 
Oversight Board (United States) and to issue a report thereon. The Audit and Finance Committee monitors those processes. In 
this context, the Audit and Finance Committee has met and held discussions with management and the independent auditors 
regarding the fair and complete presentation of the Company’s results. The Audit and Finance Committee has discussed 
significant accounting policies applied by the Company in its financial statements, as well as alternative treatments. 
Management has represented to the Audit and Finance Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were 
prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, and the Audit and Finance Committee has 
reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the independent auditors. The Audit and 
Finance Committee also discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard 
No. 16, as amended  (Communication with Audit Committees), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight 
Board (United States).

In addition, the Audit and Finance Committee has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from 

PwC required by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding PwC’s communications with the Audit and 
Finance Committee concerning independence and discussed with PwC the auditors’ independence from the Company and its 
management in connection with the matters stated therein. The Audit and Finance Committee also considered whether the 
independent auditors’ provision of non-audit services to the Company is compatible with the auditors’ independence. The Audit 
and Finance Committee has concluded that the independent auditors are independent from the Company and its management.

The Audit and Finance Committee discussed with the Company’s internal and independent auditors the overall scope 

and plans for their respective audits. The Audit and Finance Committee meets separately with the internal and independent 
auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, the evaluations of the Company’s 
internal controls and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit and Finance Committee recommended to the 

Board of Directors, and the Board has approved, that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual 
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (“2013 Form 10-K”), for filing with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Audit and Finance Committee has selected PwC, subject to shareholder approval, as 
the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, we did not pay any fees for professional services to PwC. Prior to the 
Spin-off on December 1, 2013, Ingersoll Rand paid any audit, audit-related, tax and other fees of PwC. We will 
provide such disclosure of expenses on a standalone go forward basis.

Audit Fees for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 were for professional services rendered for the audits of our 
annual consolidated financial statements, including statutory audits.

(c) 

Audit-Related Fees consists of certain assurance services related to specific transactions. 

The Audit and Finance Committee has adopted policies and procedures which require that the Audit and Finance 

Committee pre-approve all non-audit services that may be provided to the Company by its independent auditors. The policy: (i) 
provides for pre-approval of an annual budget for each type of service; (ii) requires Audit and Finance Committee approval of 
specific projects over $50,000, even if included in the approved budget; and (iii) requires Audit and Finance Committee 
approval if the forecast of expenditures exceeds the approved budget on any type of service. The Audit and Finance Committee 
pre-approved all of the services described under “Audit-Related Fees.” The Audit and Finance Committee has determined that 
the provision of all such non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Corporate Governance Guidelines

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines, together with the charters of the various Board committees, provide a 

framework for the corporate governance of the Company. The following is a summary of our Corporate Governance 
Guidelines. A copy of our Corporate Governance Guidelines, as well as the charters of each of our Board committees, are 
available on our website at www.allegion.com under the heading “About Allegion – Corporate Governance.”

Role of the Board of Directors

Our business is managed under the direction of the Board of Directors. The role of the Board of Directors is to oversee 

our management and governance and monitor senior management’s performance.

Board Responsibilities

The Board of Directors’ core responsibilities include, among other things:

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

selecting, monitoring, evaluating and compensating senior management;

assuring that management succession planning is ongoing;

overseeing the implementation of management’s strategic plans and capital allocation strategy;

reviewing our financial controls and reporting systems;

overseeing our management of enterprise risk;

reviewing our ethical standards and compliance procedures; and

evaluating the performance of the Board of Directors, Board committees and individual directors.

Board Leadership Structure

The positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company are held by the same 

person. It is the Board of Directors’ view that our corporate governance principles, the quality, stature and substantive business 
knowledge of the members of the Board, as well as the Board’s culture of open communication with the CEO and senior 
management are conducive to Board effectiveness with a combined Chairman and CEO position.  The Board reserves the right 
to separate the roles of Chairman and CEO in the event that there are changes in circumstances or performance.

In addition, the Board of Directors has a strong, independent Lead Director and it believes this role adequately 
addresses the need for independent leadership and an organizational structure for the independent directors. The Chairman and 
CEO is responsible for working with the Lead Director so that together they achieve the Board governance objectives outlined 
by the Board.

The Board of Directors appoints a Lead Director for a three-year minimum term from among the Board’s independent 

directors. The Lead Director coordinates the activities of all of the Board’s independent directors. The Lead Director is the 
principal confidant to the CEO and ensures that the Board of Directors has an open, trustful relationship with the Company’s 
senior management team. In addition to the duties of all directors, as set forth in the Company’s Governance Guidelines, the 
specific responsibilities of the Lead Director are as follows: 

•  Chair the meetings of the independent directors when the Chairman is not present;

•  Ensure the full participation and engagement of all Board members in deliberations;

•  Lead the Board of Directors in all deliberations involving the CEO’s employment, including hiring, contract 

negotiations, performance evaluations, and dismissal;

•  Counsel the Chairman on issues of interest/concern to directors and encourage all directors to engage the 

Chairman with their interests and concerns;

•  Work with the Chairman to develop an appropriate schedule of Board meetings and approve such schedule, to 
ensure that the directors have sufficient time for discussion of all agenda items, while not interfering with the 
flow of Company operations;

•  Work with the Chairman to develop the Board and Committee agendas and approve the final agendas;

•  Keep abreast of key Company activities and advise the Chairman as to the quality, quantity and timeliness of 
the flow of information from Company management that is necessary for the directors to effectively and 
responsibly perform their duties; although Company management is responsible for the preparation of 
materials for the Board of Directors, the Lead Director will approve information provided to the Board and 
may specifically request the inclusion of certain material;

8

•  Engage consultants who report directly to the Board of Directors and assist in recommending consultants that 

work directly for Board Committees;

•  Work in conjunction with the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee in compliance with 

Governance Committee processes to interview all Board candidates and make recommendations to the Board 
of Directors;

•  Assist the Board of Directors and Company officers in assuring compliance with and implementation of the 
Company’s Governance Guidelines; work in conjunction with the Corporate Governance Committee to 
recommend revisions to the Governance Guidelines;

•  Call, coordinate and develop the agenda for and chair executive sessions of the Board’s independent 

directors; act as principal liaison between the independent directors and the CEO;

•  Work in conjunction with the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee to identify for appointment 

the members of the various Board Committees, as well as selection of the Committee chairs;

•  Be available for consultation and direct communication with major shareholders in coordination with the 

CEO;

•  Make a commitment to serve in the role of Lead Director for a minimum of three years; and

•  Help set the tone for the highest standards of ethics and integrity.

Mr. Hachigian has been the Board’s Lead Director since December 2013.

Board Risk Oversight

The Board of Directors has oversight responsibility of the processes established to report and monitor systems for 

material risks applicable to us. The Board of Directors focuses on our general risk management strategy and the most 
significant risks we face and ensures that appropriate risk mitigation strategies are implemented by management. The full 
Board is responsible for considering strategic risks and succession planning and receives reports from each committee as to risk 
oversight within their areas of responsibility. The Board of Directors has delegated to its various committees the oversight of 
risk management practices for categories of risk relevant to their functions as follows:

•  The Audit and Finance Committee oversees risks associated with our systems of disclosure controls and 

internal controls over financial reporting, as well as our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.  
The Audit and Finance Committee also oversees risks associated with foreign exchange, insurance, credit and 
debt.

•  The Compensation Committee considers risks related to the attraction and retention of talent and risks related 

to the design of compensation programs and arrangements.

•  The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee oversees risks associated with sustainability.

We have appointed the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) as our Chief Risk Officer and, in that role, the Chief Risk 

Officer periodically reports on risk management policies and practices to the relevant Board Committee or to the full Board so 
that any decisions can be made as to any required changes in our risk management and mitigation strategies or in the Board’s 
oversight of these.

Finally, as part of its oversight of our executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee considers the 
impact of the executive compensation program and the incentives created by the compensation awards that it administers on 
our risk profile. In addition, we review all of our compensation policies and procedures, including the incentives that they 
create and factors that may reduce the likelihood of excessive risk taking, to determine whether they present a significant risk to 
the Company. When establishing our executive compensation program prior to the Spin-off, the Ingersoll Rand Compensation 
Committee concluded that the compensation policies and procedures are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect 
on the Company.

Director Compensation and Stock Ownership

It is the policy of the Board of Directors that directors’ fees be the sole compensation received from us by any non-

employee director, other than an initial grant of $50,000 of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) upon appointment to the Board of 
Directors. We have a director share ownership requirement of $210,000 of ordinary shares, which is equal to the directors’ 
annual retainer.  Directors must purchase $50,000 of ordinary shares each year until the share ownership requirement is met. 
Directors are required to meet the share ownership requirement within five years of appointment to the Board of Directors.  

9

Board Size and Composition

The Board of Directors consists of a substantial majority of independent, non-employee directors. In addition, our 

Corporate Governance Guidelines require that all members of the committees of the Board must be independent directors. The 
Board of Directors has the following three standing committees: Audit and Finance Committee, Compensation Committee and 
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. The Board of Directors has determined that each member of each of these 
committees is “independent” as defined in the NYSE listing standards and our Guidelines for Determining Independence of 
Directors. Each director, other than Mr. Schaffer, serves on each Board committee.  We expect to rotate chairs of the 
committees periodically.

Board Diversity

Our policy on Board diversity relates to the selection of nominees for the Board of Directors. In selecting a nominee 

for the Board, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers the skills, expertise and background that would 
complement the existing Board and ensure that its members are of sufficiently diverse and independent backgrounds, 
recognizing that our businesses and operations are diverse and global in nature. The Board of Directors has one female director.

Board Advisors

The Board of Directors and its committees may, under their respective charters, retain their own advisors to assist in 

carrying out their responsibilities.

Executive Sessions

Our independent directors meet privately in regularly scheduled executive sessions, without management present, to 
consider such matters as the independent directors deem appropriate. These executive sessions are required to be held no less 
than twice each year.

Board Evaluation

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee assists the Board in evaluating its performance and the 
performance of the Board committees. Each committee also conducts an annual self-evaluation. The effectiveness of individual 
directors is considered each year when the directors stand for re-nomination.

Director Orientation and Education

We have developed an orientation program for new directors and provide continuing education for all directors. In 

addition, the directors are given full access to management and corporate staff as a means of providing additional information.

Director Nomination Process

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee reviews the composition of the full Board to identify the 

qualifications and areas of expertise needed to further enhance the composition of the Board, makes recommendations to the 
Board concerning the appropriate size and needs of the Board and, on its own or with the assistance of management, a search 
firm or others, identifies candidates with those qualifications. Each director, other than Mr. Schaffer, was identified by Ingersoll 
Rand, with the assistance of a search firm, and elected to the Board of Directors by our private shareholders prior to the Spin-
off.  Mr. Schaffer was nominated by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee following a review of candidates 
recommended by an unaffiliated third party that provides non-search services to us from time to time.  In considering 
candidates, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will take into account all factors it considers appropriate, 
including breadth of experience, understanding of business and financial issues, ability to exercise sound judgment, diversity, 
leadership, and achievements and experience in matters affecting business and industry. The Corporate Governance and 
Nominating Committee considers the entirety of each candidate’s credentials and believes that at a minimum each nominee 
should satisfy the following criteria: highest character and integrity, experience and understanding of strategy and policy-
setting, sufficient time to devote to Board matters, and no conflict of interest that would interfere with performance as a 
director. Shareholders may recommend candidates for consideration for Board membership by sending the recommendation to 
the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, in care of the Secretary of the Company. Candidates recommended by 
shareholders are evaluated in the same manner as director candidates identified by any other means.

Application of Non-U.S. Corporate Governance Codes 

Our corporate governance guidelines and general approach to corporate governance as reflected in our Memorandum 

and Articles of Association and our internal policies and procedures are guided by U.S. practice and applicable federal 
securities laws and regulations and NYSE requirements. Although we are an Irish public limited company, we are not listed on 
the Irish Stock Exchange and therefore are not subject to the listing rules of the Irish Stock Exchange or any of its governance 
standards or guidelines. 

10

Director Independence

The Board of Directors has determined that all of our current directors, except Mr. Petratis, who is our CEO, are 

independent under the standards set forth in Exhibit I to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are consistent with the 
NYSE listing standards. In determining the independence of directors, the Board evaluated transactions between us and entities 
with which directors were affiliated that occurred in the ordinary course of business and that were provided on the same terms 
and conditions available to other customers. A copy of Exhibit I to our Corporate Governance Guidelines is available on our 
website, www.allegion.com, under the heading “About Allegion—Corporate Governance.”

Communications with Directors

Shareholders and other interested parties wishing to communicate with the Board of Directors, the non-employee 
directors or any individual director (including our Lead Director and Compensation Committee Chair) may do so either by 
sending a communication to the Board and/or a particular Board member, in care of the Secretary of the Company, or by e-mail 
at allegionboard@allegion.com. Depending upon the nature of the communication and to whom it is directed, the Secretary 
will: (a) forward the communication to the appropriate director or directors; (b) forward the communication to the relevant 
department within the Company; or (c) attempt to handle the matter directly (for example, a communication dealing with a 
share ownership matter).

Code of Conduct

We have adopted a worldwide Code of Conduct, applicable to all employees, directors and officers, including our 

CEO, our CFO and our Controller. The Code of Conduct meets the requirements of a “code of ethics” as defined by Item 406 
of Regulation S-K, as well as the requirements of a “code of business conduct and ethics” under the NYSE listing standards. 
The Code of Conduct covers topics including, but not limited to, conflicts of interest, confidentiality of information, and 
compliance with laws and regulations. A copy of the Code of Conduct is available on our website located at www.allegion.com 
under the heading “About Allegion—Corporate Governance.” Amendments to, or waivers of the provisions of, the Code of 
Conduct, if any, made with respect to any of our directors and executive officers will be posted on our website.

Anti-Hedging Policy and Other Restrictions

We prohibit our directors and executive officers from (i) purchasing any financial instruments designed to hedge or 

offset any decrease in the market value of Company securities and (ii) engaging in any form of short-term speculative trading in 
Company securities. Directors and executive officers are also prohibited from holding Company securities in a margin account 
or pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan unless the Senior Vice President and General Counsel provides pre-
clearance after the director or executive officer clearly demonstrates the financial capability to repay the loan without resort to 
the pledged securities.

Board, Committee and Annual Meeting Attendance

The Board of Directors and its committees held the following number of meetings during the fiscal year ended 

December 31, 2013:  

Board
Audit and Finance Committee

Each incumbent director attended 100% of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and the committees 

on which he or she served during the year. The non-employee directors held one independent director meeting without 
management present during 2013. It is the Board’s general practice to hold independent director meetings in connection with 
regularly scheduled Board meetings.

We expect all Board members to attend the annual general meeting, but from time to time other commitments prevent 

all directors from attending the meeting.  We did not hold an annual general meeting in 2013 because we did not become an 
independent public company until December 1, 2013.

Director Compensation

Compensation of Directors

Our director compensation program is designed to compensate non-employee directors fairly for work required for a 
company of our size and scope and align their interests with the long-term interests of our shareholders. The program reflects 
our desire to attract, retain and use the expertise of highly qualified people serving on our Board of Directors. The Corporate 
Governance and Nominating Committee periodically reviews the compensation level of our non-employee directors in 
consultation with the Committee’s independent compensation consultant and makes recommendations to the Board of 
Directors. Employee directors do not receive any additional compensation for serving as a director.

Our director compensation program for non-employee directors consists of the following elements:

Compensation Element
Annual Cash Retainer
Audit and Finance Committee Chair Cash Retainer
Compensation Committee Chair Cash Retainer
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee Chair Retainer
(unless also the Lead Director)

* The Board has 5 regularly scheduled meetings each year. Each Committee, other than the Audit and Finance
Committee, has at least 3 regularly scheduled meetings each year.  The Audit and Finance Committee has 8
regularly scheduled meetings each year.

Share Ownership Requirement 

To align the interests of directors with shareholders, the Board of Directors has adopted a requirement that each 

director invest $50,000 annually to acquire Company shares until they own ordinary shares with a value equal to their annual 
retainer of $210,000, calculated as of the date of acquisition. 

2013 Director Compensation

Our residential and commercial security businesses were a part of Ingersoll Rand until the Spin-off on December 1, 

2013. The strategic rationale for the Spin-off was to: (i) position Allegion and Ingersoll Rand to pursue a more focused strategy; 
(ii) allow the Board of Directors and management of each company to focus exclusively on the growth and expansion of their 
respective businesses; (iii) eliminate competition for capital between the companies while still allowing each company to 
preserve existing synergies; and (iv) provide investors with a more targeted investment opportunity.

Prior to the Spin-off, our NEOs were employees of Ingersoll Rand and their compensation was determined by the 

Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee.  As such, the CD&A discusses Ingersoll Rand’s historical compensation program, 
philosophy and design principles on which 2013 compensation decisions for the NEOs were made. Where compensation 
decisions have been made following the Spin-off in 2013 and with respect to 2014, we have included a description of those 
decisions in order to provide a clear picture of Allegion’s compensation philosophy following the Spin-off.

This discussion and analysis is divided into the following sections:

I. 

Executive Summary 

In this section, we highlight 2013 performance and key actions that our Compensation Committee took to support our 
strategic priorities and to effectively align the interests of our NEOs with shareholders. We also include a summary of changes 
that our Compensation Committee made following the Spin-off to our executive compensation program.

2013 Performance

The incentive compensation targets for our NEOs for 2013 were established by the Ingersoll Rand Compensation 

Committee prior to the Spin-off and payout was based on achievement of financial performance metrics that included Allegion 
for the full-year. Ingersoll Rand achieved the following strong financial performance in 2013:

•  Adjusted annual revenue (“Revenue”) of $14.509 billion, an increase of 3% over 2012;

•  Adjusted operating income (“OI”) of $1.639 billion, an increase of 8% over 2012;

•  Adjusted OI margin (“OI Margin”) of 11.3 %, an increase of 0.5 percentage points from 10.8% in 2012;

•  Adjusted available cash flow (“Cash Flow”) of $1.153 billion, an increase of 14% over 2012;

•  Adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $3.63 excluding one-time spin related expense, an increase of 10% 

• 

over 2012; and
3-year EPS growth (2011 - 2013) of 68.1%, which ranks at approximately the 75th percentile of the companies 
in the S&P 500 Industrials Index.

The Spin-off was completed on December 1, 2013.  As a result, adjustments to Ingersoll Rand’s full year 2013 results 
were necessary to include Allegion’s December results in order to ensure that performance under Ingersoll Rand’s 2013 Annual 
Incentive Matrix (“AIM”) program and its 2011 - 2013 Performance Share Plan (“PSP”) program were measured on a basis 
consistent with how performance goals were established.  

15

For Ingersoll Rand’s 2013 AIM, performance was measured using full year financial results adjusted to reflect the 

organizational structure in place at the time that performance objectives were approved by the Ingersoll Rand Compensation 
Committee in February 2013 and to exclude one-time costs associated with the Spin-off and Ingersoll Rand’s reorganization.  
Based on adjusted 2013 results for Revenue, OI, Cash Flow and OI margin, Ingersoll Rand achieved an AIM financial score of 
124.6 % of target for the enterprise, 138.1% of target for Security Technologies, 145.2% for Security Technologies - Commercial 
Americas and 99.8% for Security Technologies - Asia Pacific.  

In connection with the hiring of Mr. Petratis on August 5, 2013, the Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee 
established certain Allegion performance targets that were required to be achieved prior to Mr. Petratis receiving an incentive 
award for 2013.  Based on 2013 performance, our Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Petratis achieved 194% of 
target.  

2013 Allegion Compensation Committee Actions

Following the Spin-off, our Compensation Committee took the following actions to align the interests of our NEOs 

with shareholders:

• 

Selected Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC as its independent compensation advisor;

•  Amended the Compensation Committee Charter to strengthen the Compensation Committee’s oversight of 

executive compensation;

•  Developed Allegion’s compensation and performance benchmarking peer groups;

•  Revised the stock ownership guidelines;

•  Amended the Company’s compensation program; and

•  Approved a Founder’s Grant for key employees.

The following are the primary objectives of our executive compensation program and the guiding principles for setting 

and awarding executive compensation:

•  Create and reinforce our pay-for-performance culture:  The compensation program should pay for 

performance. Exceptional performance should result in increased compensation; missing performance goals should 
result in reduced incentive pay.

•  Align the interests of management with our shareholders: To better align the interests of management with the 
interests of shareholders, a significant portion of executive compensation should be equity based, and stock 
ownership guidelines should be utilized to better ensure a focus on long-term, sustainable growth.

•  Attract, retain and motivate executive talent by providing competitive levels of salary and targeted total pay: 
Compensation should be competitive with those organizations with which we compete for top talent. That would 
include organizations in our industry sectors of similar size and scale to Allegion.

•  Provide incentive compensation that promotes desired behavior without encouraging unnecessary and 

excessive risk: Incentive compensation should help drive business strategy. The compensation program should 
encourage both the desired results and the right behaviors. It should help drive business strategy and strike a 
balance between short-term and long-term performance, while incorporating risk-mitigating design features to 
ensure that excessive risk is not encouraged.

• 

Integrate with our performance management process of goal setting and formal evaluation: Target level goals 
should be aligned with the strategy and the operating budget, and be considered stretch yet achievable, as 
appropriately established, for each year.

Role of the Compensation Committee and Independent Adviser 

For 2013, the Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee oversaw the compensation plans and policies, administered 

equity-based programs and reviewed and approved all forms of compensation relating to our officers, including our NEOs. The 
Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee exclusively decided the elements and the amounts of compensation to be awarded to 
the Ingersoll Rand CEO and considered recommendations from the CEO related to other Ingersoll Rand officers. In addition, the 
Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee was responsible for reviewing and approving amendments to executive compensation 
and benefit plans and for reviewing broad-based employee benefit plans and making recommendations to the Ingersoll Rand 
Board of Directors for significant amendments to, or termination of, such plans. The Ingersoll Rand CEO reviewed and 
approved all compensation decisions for the direct reports of his direct reports.

The Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee has the authority to retain an independent adviser for the purpose of 

reviewing and providing guidance related to our executive compensation and benefit programs and is directly responsible for the 
compensation and oversight of the independent adviser. For 2013, the Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee engaged Hay 
Group, Inc. (“Hay Group”) to serve as its independent adviser. Hay Group also provided the Ingersoll Rand Corporate 
Governance and Nominating Committee advice on director compensation matters. The Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee 
evaluated whether any work provided by Hay Group raised any conflict of interest and determined that it did not.

In anticipation of the Spin-off, the Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee played an active oversight role in the 

design of our executive compensation program, approving and recommending to our Compensation Committee and our Board of 
Directors certain actions with respect to our post-Spin-off executive officers. These recommendations, which were ratified by 
our Board of Directors, included the levels of compensation of our NEOs following the Spin-off, including base salary, target 
annual incentive award and target long-term incentive award values. 

Going Forward 

Our Compensation Committee has the authority to obtain advice and assistance from advisors and to determine their 

fees and terms of engagement. In 2013, the Compensation Committee engaged Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC (the 
“Consultant”) as its compensation consultant. In connection with this engagement, the Compensation Committee evaluated the 
Consultant’s independence and determined the Consultant was independent from management. The Compensation Committee 
did not engage any other advisor in 2013. 

The Consultant provides advice to the Compensation Committee on our compensation program for executive officers 

and incentive programs for eligible employees. The Consultant may also provide our Corporate Governance and Nominating 
Committee advice on director compensation matters.  The Consultant does not provide any services to the Company.  The 
Compensation Committee evaluated whether any work provided by the Consultant raised any conflict of interest and determined 
that it did not.

18

Maintaining Best Practices Regarding Executive Compensation

Going Forward 

Our Compensation Committee intends to compensate our NEOs effectively and consistent with the objectives and 

guiding principles outlined above. We have adopted the following compensation practices, which are intended to promote strong 
governance and alignment with shareholder interests: 

Independence of Committee members

Independent Compensation Consultant

Annual risk assessment

Compensation at Risk

Target Pay at the Median Level

Mitigate Undue Risk

Stock Ownership Guidelines

Clawback Policy

Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policy

“Double triggers” in change in control
agreements

No tax gross ups on change in control
benefits

Compensation Committee Practices

Committee members satisfy the NYSE independence standards, are “non-employee
directors” under SEC rules and satisfy the requirements of an “outside director” for
purposes the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).

The Compensation Committee reviewed independence criteria and determined that its
compensation consultant is independent.

The Compensation Committee will annually assess the materiality and likelihood of our
executive compensation program to ensure that its plans and awards are designed and
working in a way to not encourage excessive risk taking.

Executive Compensation Practices

We grant a high percentage of at-risk compensation. We believe this is essential to
creating a culture of pay-for-performance.

We target all components of pay to be at or near the median level of the Compensation
Benchmarking Group (as defined below) and allow performance (both operational and
shareholder return) to determine actual or realized pay. Actual pay may be above or
below the target median based on performance.

We mitigate undue risk in our compensation program by instituting governance policies
such as capping potential payments, instituting clawback provisions, utilizing multiple
performance metrics, striking a balance between short and long-term incentives and
cash and stock ownership requirements.

The Compensation Committee has adopted stock ownership guidelines for the CEO and
his direct reports. The ownership guidelines are detailed in Section “IV. Other
Compensation and Tax Matters.”

We have the right to seek to recoup all or part of annual cash incentives or performance
share units (“PSUs”) that relate to a performance period beginning after January 1, 2014
if there is a: (1) significant or material restatement of our financial statements covering
any of the three fiscal years preceding the grant or payment, or (2) a restatement of our
financial statements for any such year which results from fraud or willful misconduct
committed by an award holder.

We prohibit our executive officers from hedging Allegion securities. Pledging is
permitted in limited circumstances where the executive officer can demonstrate the
financial ability to repay the loan without resort to the pledged securities.

The NEOs and other executive officers do not receive change in control benefits unless
their employment is terminated without cause (or by the executive for good reason)
within a specified period following a change in control.

The NEOs and other executive officers are not entitled to tax gross ups in the event that
their change in control benefits are subject to the “golden parachute” excise tax under
the Code.

Composition and Purpose of the Compensation Benchmarking Peer Group

Prior to the Spin-Off, the Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee annually compared its compensation program with 

the following companies (“Ingersoll Rand Compensation Survey Group”): 

3M

Cummins, Inc.

Danaher Corp

Dover

Eaton Corp

Johnson Controls Inc.

Pentair

Emerson Electric

Paccar Inc.

Stanley Black & Decker

Honeywell International

Parker Hannifin Corp

Textron

Illinois Tool Works

PPG Industries

Tyco International

19

In anticipation of the Spin-off, the Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee reviewed the Ingersoll Rand 

Compensation Survey Group and determined it would not accurately reflect our market competitors. Based on this evaluation, 
the Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee approved the new compensation benchmarking group for Allegion set forth below 
(the “Spin-off Compensation Benchmarking Group”), consisting of companies with the following attributes: 

• 

• 

Similar business (products and markets);

Similar revenue size and market capitalization;

•  Executive positions similar in breadth, complexity and scope of responsibility; and

•  Competitors for executive talent.

ADT Corp

Brady

Brinks Co

CACI International

Checkpoint Systems

Diebold Inc.

Enersys

Enpro Industries, Inc.

Flir Systems

Fortune Brands Home & Security

Griffon Corp

Quanex Building Products

ScanSource, Inc.

Steelcase Inc.

Going Forward 

Our Compensation Committee reviewed the Spin-off Compensation Benchmarking Group and determined, in 
consultation with its consultant, to increase the number of companies in our peer group to give the Compensation Committee a 
peer group that more broadly represents who we compete with for executive talent. Our Compensation Committee will use this 
peer group to review and evaluate executive compensation levels and practices and as the primary compensation benchmark peer 
group. This compensation peer group is comprised of the following 30 U.S. listed publicly-traded companies that have 
comparable revenue and/or industries that fit with our lines of business (the “Allegion Compensation Benchmarking Group”):

ADT Corp

Diebold Inc.

ITT Corp

Regal-Beloit Corp

Apogee Enterprises, Inc.

Donaldson Co.

Lennox International Inc.

Roper Industries Inc.

Armstrong World Industries

Enersys

Masco Corp

ScanSource, Inc.

Brady

Brinks Co.

Enpro Industries, Inc.

NCI Building Systems Inc.

A.O. Smith Corp

Esterline Technologies Corp

Nortek Inc.

Builder’s FirstSource

Flir Systems

Ply Gem Holdings Inc.

Steelcase Inc.

USG Corp

CACI International

Fortune Brands Home &
Security

Checkpoint Systems

Griffon Corp

Quanex Building Products

Valmont Industries Inc.

Our Compensation Committee will review the Allegion Compensation Benchmarking Group on an annual basis and 

determine whether any changes are appropriate. 

Composition and Purpose of the Performance Peer Group

The Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee uses a performance peer group to evaluate the linkage of pay and 

performance and for determining the relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) and relative EPS measures in the PSP. For 
awards granted prior to the Spin-off, the Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee utilized the S&P 500 Industrial Index to 
evaluate performance.

Going Forward 

We will continue to utilize a performance peer group.  Our Compensation Committee adopted a new performance peer 
group consisting of the companies in the S&P 400 Capital Goods Index (the “Allegion Performance Peer Group”). Our Allegion 
Performance Peer Group will be used for assessing relative TSR performance for post Spin-off periods.

Targeted, on average, at the 50th percentile of our peer group.

Future adjustments are determined based on an evaluation of the 
executive’s proficiency in fulfilling his or her responsibilities.

Officers have an AIM target expressed as a percentage of base

performance.

Earned over a 3-year performance period.

Equity earned is based on our EPS growth (from continuing 
operations) relative to the companies in the S&P 500 Industrials 
Index for awards granted through 2011. 

Beginning in 2012, equity earned is based on relative TSR and 
relative EPS growth compared to companies within the S&P 500 
Industrials Index (with equal weight given to each metric).

Actual value of the PSP shares earned depends on our share price 
at the time of payment.

Stock options and RSUs are granted annually, with stock options 
having an exercise price equal to the fair market value of ordinary 
shares on the date of grant.

Both stock options and RSUs typically vest ratably over three 
years, one third per year.

Stock options expire on the 10th anniversary (less one day) of the 
grant date (unless employment terminates sooner).

Our Compensation Committee will review the base salaries of our NEOs annually to determine whether they 

adequately reward our NEOs for their services and remain competitive in the market for talent based on a comparison to 
executives in the Allegion Compensation Benchmarking Group who have similar roles and responsibilities.  It is our 
Compensation Committee’s philosophy that NEOs will not receive automatic annual merit increases.  The Compensation 
Committee will consider a NEO’s experience, proficiency, performance and potential to impact future business results, as well as 
behavior against competencies and key enterprise values, in making future base salary decisions.  

Annual Cash Incentives

Annual Incentive Target Opportunities

In February 2013, Ingersoll Rand established the annual incentive opportunities for our NEOs, other than Mr. Petratis.  
Mr. Petratis’s target opportunity was established in connection with his hiring in August 2013.  During 2013, the Ingersoll Rand 
Compensation Committee determined that two of our NEOs, Mr. Shannon and Ms. Santoro, should receive an increase in target 
annual incentive opportunity following the Spin-off to reflect their new roles and increased responsibilities with Allegion. These 
increases were approved by our Board and are effective, proratably from December 1, 2013, as noted in the table below:

CEO 2013 Annual Cash Incentive Award

In connection with the hiring of Mr. Petratis, the Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee established an annual 

incentive plan to reward the achievement of the following financial metrics:

Performance Levels and Goals

The Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee established Mr. Petratis’s target 2013 annual incentive at $412,500 for 
the period worked beginning in August 2013, which represents the prorated target bonus of $990,000.  Payout of Mr. Petratis’s 
annual incentive award opportunity ranges from 0% to 200% of the target amount.  The Compensation Committee will also 
evaluate Mr. Petratis’s individual performance and assign him a score ranging from 0% to 150%. 

Ingersoll Rand’s Annual Incentive Matrix Program

The NEOs annual cash incentives were determined based on their participation in the Ingersoll Rand AIM program for 

2013 and approved by our Compensation Committee.  Ingersoll Rand’s annual cash incentive program is designed to reward 
executives for profitable Revenue growth, the delivery of strong Cash Flow and individual contributions. Individual AIM 
payouts are calculated as the product of a financial performance score and an individual performance score, both of which are 
based on achievement relative to pre-established performance objectives adopted by the Compensation Committee. 

For 2013, the AIM program was redesigned to better align growth and profitability as well as to improve the alignment 

of payouts with performance.  This change replaced the 2012 “matrix” approach, which was based on the relationship between 
Revenue and OI percent modified by Cash Flow performance.  The new design utilizes the same core performance metrics of 
Revenue, OI and Cash Flow, with each metric equally weighted.  OI margin remains a focus, acting as a modifier to the funded 
portion of awards.  We believe that the 2013 AIM design provides participants with greater clarity on how they can generate 
incentive opportunity based on strong performance relative to each metric.  The Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee 

23

designed the 2013 AIM program to avoid excessive risk taking by limiting incentive opportunity if performance results are not 
balanced relative to the other two metrics.

Financial performance: The AIM incentive opportunity is tied to established goals for three performance metrics (“Core 

Financial Metrics”): Revenue, OI, and Cash Flow.  Each of these Core Financial Metrics are equally weighted (33.33%) with 
incentives independently calculated, as a percent of target, for each metric based on performance results relative to pre-
established threshold, target, and maximum performance levels.  Threshold performance for each metric must be achieved in 
order for any incentive to be payable for that metric.  The financial AIM payout is the sum of the calculated payout percentage 
for each metric, adjusted by an OI margin percentage multiplier (“Multiplier”), which can range from 85% to 115%.

The Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee retains the authority to adjust Ingersoll Rand’s reported financial results 
for the impact of changes in accounting principles, extraordinary items and unusual or non-recurring gains or losses, including 
significant differences from the assumptions contained in the financial plan upon which the incentive targets were established. 
Adjustments to reported financial results are intended to better reflect executives’ line of sight and ability to affect performance 
results, align award payments with decisions which support the Annual Operating Plan (“AOP”), avoid artificial inflation or 
deflation of awards due to unusual or non-recurring items in the applicable period and emphasize Ingersoll Rand’s preference for 
long-term and sustainable growth.

AIM performance metrics are aligned with individuals’ line of sight and scope of impact. Executives serving in a 

corporate level role are measured based on the enterprise financial metrics. The business unit Presidents (Messrs. Eckersley and 
Yu) are measured based on a combination of enterprise financial objectives, sector financial objectives and applicable business 
unit financial objectives. We believe this combination focuses business unit Presidents on achieving the pre-established 
objectives for their sector and their business unit as well as aligning their interests with enterprise goals to help create sustainable 
shareholder value.

Individual performance: Individual objectives are established annually and include strategic initiatives with both 
financial and non-financial metrics. Participants are evaluated based upon non-financial metrics including core competencies. At 
the end of the fiscal year, the CEO evaluates performance against the pre-established individual objectives for officers other than 
himself and submits a recommendation to the Compensation Committee. The Board evaluates the CEO’s performance against 
his pre-established individual objectives.  Based on the Board’s evaluation of the CEO and the CEO’s recommendation, the 
Compensation Committee determines the individual performance score for each officer, which can range from 0% to 150%.  For 
2013, the individual performance rating for each NEO was:

Our Compensation Committee evaluated Mr. Petratis’s individual performance and his performance against the

Committee determined Mr. Petratis achieved an individual performance rating of 115% and his bonus be awarded at the 
“maximum” level based on the actual performance of Allegion for 2013:

The actual AIM payout is determined by multiplying the individual target award by the financial performance score and 

multiplying that result by the individual performance score. AIM payouts cannot exceed 200% of the target award. The NEO 
payouts were determined based on the achievement of the goals pre-established by the Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee.

To ensure that performance under the 2013 AIM was measured on a full year basis consistent with how 2013 
performance goals were established, 2013 performance for AIM payout determinations was calculated based on full year 2013 
financial results to reflect the organizational structure in place at the time that performance objectives were approved by the 
Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee in February 2013, prior to the Spin-off.  Therefore, for purposes of measuring 2013 
performance, the full year financial results for the Ingersoll Rand enterprise include full year financial results for Allegion. One-
time expenses associated with the Spin-off were excluded from calculation of 2013 financial results.

In addition, in determining the achievement of the 2013 AIM financial goals for the Ingersoll Rand enterprise, the 

Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee made the following adjustments: (a) adjusted OI downward to reflect only the net after 
tax benefit excluding the non-controlling interest from the sale of the Fu Hsing facilities in China, (b) adjusted Revenue upward 
to reflect revenue not recognized for customer orders placed directly with the Taiwan Fu Hsing manufacturing entities following 
dissolution of the joint venture, (c) adjusted Revenue upward to offset the detrimental impact of a change in the accounting 
approach for jobs sold through independent offices, and (d) adjusted Revenue, OI and Cash Flow upward to offset the impact of 
flood damage to facilities in Shanghai, China. These adjustments were made to align 2013 AIM incentive awards and 
performance for the year taking into consideration the impact of certain events not contemplated when 2013 AIM performance 
objectives were established. Prior to the Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee making these adjustments they were also 
reviewed with the Ingersoll Rand Audit Committee.  Our Compensation Committee reviewed the adjusted results approved by 
the Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee and approved them with one exception.  Our Compensation Committee accepted 
our management’s proposal to cap the Taiwan Fu Hsing adjustments for Security Technologies, which decreased the financial 
score from 143.65% to 138.10%.

Ingersoll Rand’s Long-Term Incentive Program

Ingersoll Rand’s long-term incentive program is comprised of stock options, RSUs and PSUs and is designed to align 

the executives’ interests with the interests of shareholders. This approach aligns long-term strategies with the best interest of 
shareholders. 

Performance Share Program: The Ingersoll Rand PSP is an equity-based incentive compensation program that provides 
executives with an opportunity to earn PSUs based on Ingersoll Rand’s performance relative to other companies in the 
S&P 500 Industrials Index. For awards granted prior to 2012, PSUs are earned based on Ingersoll Rand’s relative EPS 
growth (from continuing operations) as compared to the companies within the S&P 500 Industrials Index over a three-
year performance period. For awards granted in 2013, PSUs are earned based equally on Ingersoll Rand’s relative EPS 
growth (from continuing operations) and TSR as compared to the companies within the S&P 500 Industrials Index over 
a three-year performance period. The actual number of PSUs earned for grants made in 2013 (which can range from 0% 
to 200% of target) is based on the following criteria:

Ingersoll Rand’s Performance Relative to the
Companies within the S&P 500 Industrials Index

< 25th Percentile
25th Percentile
50th Percentile

75th Percentile
* Results are interpolated between percentiles achieved.

% of Target PSUs Earned*
No Awards Earned
25%
50%
100%

PSU target awards are set by assessing competitive market values for executives in the Ingersoll Rand 
Compensation Survey Group that have similar roles and responsibilities. Targets are expressed as a dollar amount and 
are converted to share equivalents (PSUs) based on the fair market value of the shares on the date that the award is 
granted. The Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee retains the authority and discretion to make downward 
adjustments to the calculated PSP award payouts, either as a percentage or a dollar amount, or not to grant any award 
payout regardless of actual performance against pre-established goals.

EPS is calculated in accordance with GAAP, subject to adjustments for extraordinary, unusual or infrequent 

items; the impact of any change in accounting principles; goodwill and other intangible asset impairments; and gains or 
charges associated with discontinued operations or with obtaining or losing control of a business.

Dividend equivalents are accrued on outstanding PSU awards at the same time and at the same rate as 
dividends are paid to shareholders. Dividend equivalents are not earned until the PSUs vest and are payable in cash at 
the time of distribution unless the NEO elected to defer the PSUs into our executive deferred compensation plan, in 
which case the dividends are also deferred. 

27

Stock Options/Restricted Stock Units: Ingersoll Rand grants executives an equal mix of stock options and RSUs in 
order to provide an effective balance between risk and retention. Stock options are considered “at risk” since there is no 
value unless the stock price appreciates during the term of the option period. RSUs, on the other hand, provide strong 
retentive value because they have value even if our stock price does not grow during the restricted period. 

Stock option and RSU targets are expressed in dollar amounts which are converted to a number of shares 

based on the fair market value of Ingersoll Rand’s shares on the date that the award is granted. In order to determine the 
target stock option and RSU awards for our NEOs, the Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee considers factors such 
as market competitiveness with its peer group, demonstrated potential to drive future business results and sustained 
individual performance. 

Both stock options and RSUs generally vest ratably, one third per year, over a three-year period following the 
grant. Stock options expire on the tenth anniversary (less one day) of the grant date. Dividend equivalents are accrued 
on outstanding RSU awards at the same time and at the same rate as dividends are paid to shareholders. Dividend 
equivalents on RSUs are only payable if the underlying RSU award vests. At the time of vesting, one ordinary share is 
issued for each RSU and any accrued dividend equivalents are paid in cash. 

2013 Equity Awards

In 2013, the Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee approved stock option, RSU and PSU awards based on 
evaluation of market competitiveness and each of our NEO’s demonstrated potential to drive future business results and 
sustained individual performance. The values in the following table reflect equity-based award values approved in 2013. These 
values differ from the corresponding values reported in the Summary Compensation Table and the Grants of Plan-Based Awards 
Table due to different methodologies used in assigning the economic value of equity-based awards required for accounting and 
proxy statement reporting purposes. Equity award determinations are based on values as of January 1, while the accounting and 
proxy statement values are determined as of the grant date. The difference is most significant for the PSU awards which are 
earned, in part, based on TSR relative to the S&P 500 Industrials Index over a three-year performance period. The accounting 
and proxy report values are greater because Ingersoll Rand’s stock price increased by a greater percentage relative to other 
companies in the S&P 500 Industrials Index for the period from January 1, 2013 through February 22, 2013, the grant date.

2011 - 2013 Performance Cycle

As discussed above, PSUs for the 2011-2013 performance period were earned based on Ingersoll Rand’s EPS growth 

(from continuing operations) performance relative to all of the companies in the S&P 500 Industrials Index. Ingersoll Rand 
achieved an adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $3.63 in 2013 and achieved an adjusted EPS from continuing operations 
of $2.16 in 2010. This represents an EPS growth rate of 68.1%, which ranks at approximately the 75th percentile of the 
companies in the S&P 500 Industrials Index.  As a result of this level of performance, the payout was 199% of target. For 
purposes of measuring EPS growth, 2013 EPS was measured based on the combined 2013 EPS of both Ingersoll Rand and 
Allegion to ensure a consistent basis for determining EPS growth.  In addition, consistent with the terms of the award 
agreements, one-time costs associated with the Spin-off as well as debt restructuring costs incurred in consideration of the Spin-
off were excluded from the 2013 EPS calculations in determining the PSU payout level for the 2011-2013 performance period.

Our NEOs received the following based on 2011-2013 actual vs. performance goals:

Equity Conversion at Spin-off

In conjunction with the Spin-off, all outstanding equity awards were adjusted in the manner described in footnote (f) to 

the 2013 Grants of Plan-Based Awards table to preserve the economic value of the awards immediately following the Spin-off. 

Hiring Grant

In August 2013, the Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee granted Mr. Petratis RSUs that cliff vest after three years 

with a value of $1,587,820.  This grant of RSUs replaced the equity awards he forfeited at his former employer.

Founder’s Grant

In December 2013, the Compensation Committee approved a one-time equity grant to select employees, including our 

NEOs, in connection with the Spin-off (the “Founder’s Grant”).  The Founder’s Grant was intended to ensure alignment with 
shareholders and provide a retention incentive to key employees. Our NEO’s received a combination of PSUs and stock options.  
The PSUs are earned based on our three-year TSR relative to the Performance Peer Group measured from December 2013 to 
December 2016.  The PSUs and stock options vest after three years; and the NEO must be employed by Allegion on the vesting 
date.

For the NEOs, the Founder’s Grants had the following values:

The number of stock options was determined based on the Black-Scholes ratio on December 31, 2013 and the fair 

market value of our ordinary shares on the date of the grant. The number of RSUs was determined using the fair market value of 
our ordinary shares on the date of grant.  The PSU values in the above table reflect values approved by our Compensation 
Committee. These values differ from the corresponding values reported in the Summary Compensation Table and the Grants of 
Plan-Based Awards Table due to different methodologies used in assigning the economic value of equity-based awards required 
for accounting and proxy statement reporting purposes.  For accounting and proxy purposes, the value of the PSUs are lower 
because the grant date fair value of the PSUs are based on a Monte Carlo simulation we use to value the awards that considers 
award performance metrics, maximum and target payouts among other factors.

IV.  

Other Compensation and Tax Matters

2014 Compensation Decisions

Annual Incentive Program (“AIP”)

For 2014, our NEOs, including the CEO, will participate in a new annual incentive plan adopted by our Compensation 

Committee, the AIP. The AIP will pay annual incentive awards based on the following metrics:  

•  Revenue;

•  Earnings Before Income, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) for corporate and OI for regions; and

•  Available Cash Flow for corporate and Operations Cash Flow for regions.

The Compensation Committee believes the metrics are equally important and will weigh them equally.  In order to 

further emphasize the importance of meeting profitability goals, we must achieve an actual EBITDA for corporate or OI for the 
regions equal to a pre-established threshold performance level in order for any incentive award to be earned (the “Threshold 
Goal”).  If the Threshold Goal is not attained, no incentive award will be earned under the AIP.  The Compensation Committee 
will also evaluate each NEO’s individual performance during the year when determining the amount of any incentive to be paid.

29

Long-term Incentive (“LTI”) Program

Our Compensation Committee reviewed the NEO target LTI opportunities in the first quarter of 2014 to determine whether 
they adequately reward our executives for their services and remain competitive in the market for talent. Based on comparison to 
the Allegion Compensation Benchmarking Group and, upon advice from its Consultant, our Compensation Committee approved 
the LTI target opportunities, RSUs, stock options, and target PSU awards for the 2014 - 2016 performance period set forth below 
to each of our NEOs.  For the 2014 - 2016 performance period, the actual number of PSUs earned will be based the following 
metrics:  

•  EPS performance over a three year time period compared to pre-established goals; and

•  TSR relative to the S&P 400 Capital Goods Index over the applicable performance period.

of our ordinary shares on the grant date.

Performance Share Units - Outstanding Performance Cycles

At the time of the Spin-off, we prorated and replaced outstanding target PSUs denominated in Ingersoll Rand equity 

into PSUs of Allegion. Our Compensation Committee established new metrics and goals for the outstanding performance cycles. 
Accordingly, in 2014 our NEOs received a prorated number of Allegion target PSUs that will be earned based on Allegion’s 
performance against pre-established cumulative EPS target and TSR performance relative to the S&P 400 Capital Goods Index.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Compensation Committee believes NEOs and other senior executives should have a significant equity stake in 

Allegion in order to more closely align their interests with those of our shareholders. Therefore, the Board of Directors has 
established executive stock ownership guidelines on our NEOs. The requirements are as follows: 

Position

CEO

CFO

SVP

VP

Stock Ownership Level as a
Multiple of  Annual Base Salary

6

3

2

1

Under these guidelines executives must retain 25% of net after-tax shares until the target ownership level is met. 

Retirement Programs and Other Benefits 

We maintain qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans intended to provide fixed benefits upon 
retirement based on the individual’s age and number of years of service. Refer to the Pension Benefits table below for additional 
details on these programs.

We maintain a qualified defined contribution 401(k) plan called the ESP for the salaried and hourly U.S. workforce. The 
ESP provides a dollar-for-dollar match on the first 6% of the employee’s eligible contributions to the ESP. The ESP has a number 
of investment options and is an important component of the retirement program. Employees who were actively employed by 
Ingersoll Rand prior to July 1, 2012 were given a one-time choice between continuing to participate in the defined benefit plan 
until December 31, 2022 or moving to an enhanced version of the ESP effective January 1, 2013 under which they would receive 
an employer core contribution of 2% of eligible pay in addition to the matching contribution and no longer accrue benefits under 
the defined benefit plan after December 31, 2012. Employees hired by Ingersoll Rand on or after July 1, 2012 were 
automatically covered under the enhanced version of the ESP and do not participate in the defined benefit plan. Employees hired 
after the Spin-off are not eligible for the 2% employer core contribution. Effective as of December 31, 2022, accruals in the 
qualified defined benefit plan will cease for all employees. 

We also maintain a nonqualified, defined contribution plan called the Supplemental Employee Savings Plan (the 
“Supplemental ESP”). The Supplemental ESP is an unfunded plan that makes up matching and core contributions that cannot be 
made to the ESP due to Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or plan limitations. The Supplemental ESP is deemed invested in 
funds selected by participants and includes the same funds available in the ESP except for a self-directed brokerage account, 
which is not available in the Supplemental ESP.

We maintain a nonqualified executive deferred compensation plan (“EDCP”) that allows eligible employees to defer 

receipt of a part of their annual salary, annual incentive award and/or PSP award in exchange for investments in ordinary shares 
or mutual fund investment equivalents. Refer to the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table for additional details on the 
deferred compensation plans. 

We also maintain the Huabao Service Retention Bonus Plan (the “Huabao Plan”) for Chinese employees that provides 

for an annual company contribution equal to a percentage of annual base salary after income tax deduction (excluding bonus, 
allowance and/or benefits). Participants in the Huabao Plan vest at the earlier of retirement, death, permanent disability or 
company initiated termination.

An enhanced, long-term disability plan is provided to certain executives in order to provide for a higher monthly 
maximum than the standard group plan and a more favorable definition of disability and has an underlying individual policy that 
is portable when the executive terminates.

We also provide certain other benefits believed to be consistent with prevailing market practice and to be competitive 

with peer company practices. These other benefits and their incremental costs to the Company are reported in “All Other 
Compensation” shown in the Summary Compensation Table. 

Severance Arrangements 

We have not adopted a formal severance policy for executives. In most cases, we would expect to provide for severance 

in the event of termination without cause. 

We adopted a Spin-off Protection Plan and adopted equity award agreements to provide certain employees, including 
officers, with certain benefits in the event of a termination of employment without cause or for good reason between December 
1, 2013 and December 1, 2014 (the first anniversary of the Spin-off). This is a continuation of the Major Restructuring Plan 
adopted by Ingersoll Rand prior to the Spin-off.  The benefits available in the Spin-off Protection Plan are also described in the 
Post-Employment Benefits section. 

31

In connection with recruiting certain officers, we generally enter into employment arrangements that provide for 
severance payments upon certain termination events, other than in the event of a change in control (which is described in 
“Change-In-Control Provisions” below). In the event of an involuntary termination other than for cause following the expiration 
of the Spin-off Protection Plan, Mr. Petratis, Mr. Shannon and Ms. Santoro will be eligible to receive severance equal to two 
times (Mr. Petratis) or one times (Mr. Shannon and Ms. Santoro) base salary plus actual annual incentive award, not to exceed 
target and pro-rated for the number of days worked during the performance period.

Change-In-Control Provisions 

In preparation for the Spin-off, the Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee approved a change in control plan (“CIC 

Plan”) that covers our NEOs in order to focus them on the best interests of our shareholders and to assure continuity of 
management in circumstances that reduce or eliminate job security and might otherwise lead to accelerated departures in the 
event of a change in control. This CIC Plan provides cash severance benefits in the event that a change in control of Allegion 
occurs and an officer is terminated within two years of that change in control for reasons other than cause. Cash severance 
benefits in the event of a qualifying termination will be based on an individually defined Severance Multiple ranging from 1.5 
for officers up to 2.0 for the CEO.  Individual cash severance benefits will include (i) base salary in effect at termination times 
the Severance Multiple, (ii) current cash target incentive award times the Severance Multiple, and (iii) actual incentive award in 
the year of termination pro-rated for the portion of the performance cycle completed through the date of termination.  In 2014, 
the Severance Multiple for the CEO was increased to 3.0 and the amount of the pro-rata payout of the annual incentive was 
changed to be based on target performance instead of actual performance.  Cash severance benefits under the CIC Plan will be 
reduced by severance-related benefits provided through any other Allegion severance program, including the Spin-off Protection 
Plan. NEOs will also immediately vest in their Elected Officer Supplemental Program (“EOSP”) and Key Management 
Supplemental Pension Plan (“KMP”) benefits following a change in control. For purposes of calculating Mr. Shannon’s and Ms. 
Santoro’s EOSP benefits, two years would be added to both their age and service if their employment is terminated within two 
years after a change in control. In addition, participants in the CIC Plan will, in the event of a qualifying termination, receive 
continued health and welfare coverage for a term of years equal to the Severance Multiple and outplacement benefits of up to 
$25,000. 

The CIC Plan does not provide for payment of, or reimbursement for, any tax payments or other tax gross ups related to 
the severance benefits. However, the CIC Plan does provide for cash severance benefits to be adjusted such that participants will 
receive the better after tax benefit treatment (“Best of Net” approach) between (i) cash severance payments paid in full, with the 
executive responsible for all taxes incurred, or (ii) cash severance payments reduced to avoid triggering excise taxes.

Senior Executive Performance Plan (“SEPP”)

The SEPP is a shareholder approved plan that funds the annual cash incentive awards that may be granted to each of the 

NEOs under the AIP. Under the SEPP, the maximum amount of cash incentive that can be paid to the CEO is 1.5% of 
Consolidated OI from Continuing Operations (as defined in the SEPP) and the maximum amount of cash incentive that can be 
paid to any other covered executive is 0.6% of Consolidated OI from Continuing Operations. Our Compensation Committee 
generally exercises its discretion to pay less than the maximum amount to the NEOs, after considering the factors described in 
the AIP.

Tax and Accounting Considerations 

Section 162(m) of the Code imposes a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount that a publicly-traded company may deduct 
for federal income tax purposes in any taxable year for compensation paid to our CEO and the three other highest-paid NEOs, 
other than our CFO, who are employed as of the end of the year. To the extent that compensation is “performance-based” within 
the meaning of Section 162(m), the Section’s limitations will not apply. To qualify as performance based, compensation must, 
among other things, be paid pursuant to a shareholder approved plan upon the attainment of objective performance criteria.

Our Compensation Committee believes that the tax deductibility of compensation is an important factor, but not the 

sole factor, in setting executive compensation policies and in rewarding superior executive performance. Accordingly, our 
executive compensation program has been designed with the intent that most of the variable compensation (i.e., AIP, PSP and 
stock options) paid to NEOs would qualify as performance-based within the meaning of Section 162(m) so as to be tax 
deductible to avoid the loss of a tax deduction due to Section 162(m).  However, the Compensation Committee reserves the right 
to approve the payment of compensation to our executive officers that does not qualify as “performance-based” within the 
meaning of Section 162(m) and therefore, may not be deductible for federal income tax purposes.

In determining variable compensation program designs, our Compensation Committee considers other tax and 

accounting implications of particular forms of compensation, such as the implications of Section 409A of the Code governing 
deferred compensation arrangements and favorable accounting treatment afforded certain equity based plans that are settled in 
shares. The forms of variable compensation utilized are determined primarily by their effectiveness in creating maximum 
alignment between key strategic objectives and the interests of shareholders. 

32

Timing of Awards 

We intend to regularly grant annual equity grants on the business day after the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-

K. The equity grant date is never selected or changed to increase the value of equity awards for executives. 

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

We have reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis contained in this Proxy 

Statement.

Based on our review and discussion, we recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion 
and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement as well as the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended 
December 31, 2013.

(b)  For Mr. Petratis, $800,000 represents an annual bonus and $530,000 represents a sign-on award to replace his lost annual 

incentive award from his prior employer.  For our other NEOs, the amount represents 50% of a transition cash bonus awarded by 
Ingersoll Rand in recognition of the critical nature of the role and assistance required in implementing the Spin-off.  The 
remaining 50% will be paid on December 1, 2014, the first anniversary of the Spin-off, assuming the executive is employed on 
that date.

(c)  The amounts shown in this column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of PSU awards and any RSU awards granted for the

amounts paid to or realized by the NEOs. Amounts also include the incremental fair value associated with the conversion of 
Ingersoll Rand RSU awards into Allegion RSU awards.

In determining the aggregate grant date fair value of the PSU awards, the awards are valued assuming target level performance 
achievement. The PSU awards granted in December 2013 only pay out at the target level if performance is achieved.  If the 
maximum level performance achievement is assumed for the PSU awards granted in February 2013, the aggregate grant date fair 
value of the PSU awards would be as follows:

The PSU awards granted in February 2013 pay out in Ingersoll Rand shares based on Ingersoll Rand performance for the 
performance period.  The NEOs will receive that portion of the PSU awards for the period they were employed by Ingersoll Rand.

For a discussion of the assumptions made in determining the ASC 718 values, see Note 13, “Share-Based Compensation,” to our 
consolidated financial statements contained in the 2013 Form 10-K. The ASC 718 grant date fair value of the PSU award is 
spread over the number of months of service required for the grant to become non-forfeitable, disregarding any adjustments for 
potential forfeitures.
Please see also the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table for additional details of the 2013 grants included in this column.

(d)  The amounts in this column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of stock option grants for financial reporting purposes for 
the year under ASC 718 and do not reflect amounts paid to or realized by the NEOs. Amounts also include the incremental fair 
value associated with the Ingersoll Rand equity awards adjusted in connection with the Spin-off.  For a discussion of the 
assumptions made in determining the ASC 718 values, see Note 13, “Share-Based Compensation,” to our consolidated financial 
statements contained in the 2013 Form 10-K.

(e)  This column reflects the amounts earned as annual awards under Ingersoll Rand’s AIM program. Unless deferred into the EDCP, 
AIM program payments are made in cash. Mr. Eckersley elected to defer 50% of his AIM payment. Amounts shown in this 
column are not reduced to reflect deferrals of AIM awards into the EDCP.

(f)  Amounts reported in this column reflect the aggregate increase in the actuarial present value of the benefits under the qualified 
Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”), Supplemental Pension Plan, KMP and EOSP, as applicable. The change in pension benefits 
value is attributable to the additional year of service and age, the annual AIM award and any annual salary increase and the 
interest rates used to value the benefits. The changes in pension benefit values during 2013 were less than 2012 due to the 
increase in interest rates used to value the benefits.  The plans do not permit above-market or preferential earnings on any 
nonqualified deferred compensation.  In 2013, the pension value for Mr. Shannon declined by $589.

(i)  Represents the incremental cost of the leased cars, calculated based on the lease, insurance, fuel and 

maintenance costs for all NEOs other than Mr. Yu.  For Mr. Yu, the amount represents the value of the car and 
driver provided under the Chinese car policy.

(h)  Cash amounts for Mr. Yu were paid in Chinese Yuan. For reporting purposes, these amounts have been converted from Chinese 

Yuan to United States dollars in this table and throughout this Proxy Statement. Where amounts are reported as of a point in time, 
Chinese Yuan were converted to United States dollars using the closing currency exchange rate as of December 31, 2013. Where 
payments were made throughout the year, Chinese Yuan were converted to United States dollars using the closing currency 
exchange rate as of the last day of the month in which the cash compensation was received or deemed to have been received.

(a)  The target award levels for the AIM program were established by the Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee in February 

2013. Refer to Compensation Discussion and Analysis under the heading “Annual Incentive Matrix Program” for a description 
of the Ingersoll Rand Compensation Committee’s process for establishing AIM program target award levels. The amounts 
reflected in the “Estimated Future Payouts Under Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards” columns represent the threshold, target 
and maximum amounts for awards under the AIM program that were paid in February 2014, based on performance in 2013. 
Thus, the amounts shown in the “threshold, target and maximum” columns reflect the range of potential payouts when the 
target award levels were established in February 2013. The AIM program pays $0 for performance below threshold. The actual 
amounts paid pursuant to those awards are reflected in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary 
Compensation Table.

37

(b)  The amounts reflected in the “Estimated Future Payouts Under Equity Incentive Plan Awards” columns represent the threshold, 
target and maximum amounts for annual PSU awards for the 2013-2015 performance period and the special PSU awards for the 
2013-2016 performance period. The special PSU awards only payout at target if performance is achieved. The PSP pays $0 for 
performance below threshold. The annual PSU awards granted for the 2013-2015 performance period were truncated for the 
period the NEOs were employed by Ingersoll Rand.  For a description of the Compensation Committee’s process for 
establishing PSP target award levels and the terms of PSU awards, please refer to Compensation Discussion and Analysis under 
the heading “Long-Term Incentive Program” and the “Post-Employment Benefits” section below. 

(c)  The amounts in these columns reflect the RSU awards granted in February 2013 and the stock option awards granted in 

February 2013 and December 2013. The RSU awards and stock option awards granted in February 2013 were converted into 
Allegion RSUs and stock options in connection with the Spin-off.  For a description of the Compensation Committee’s process 
for determining stock option and RSU awards and the terms of such awards, see Compensation Discussion and Analysis under 
the heading “Long-Term Incentive Program” and the “Post-Employment Benefits” section below. 

(d)  Stock options granted prior to December 1, 2013 were granted under Ingersoll Rand’s Incentive Stock Plan of 2007.  Stock 
options granted after December 1, 2013 were granted under our Incentive Stock Plan of 2013 (the “2013 Plan”).  Each plan 
requires stock options to be granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the applicable company’s ordinary 
shares on the date of grant. The fair market value is defined as the average of the high and low composite price of the 
applicable company’s ordinary shares listed on the NYSE on the grant date. 

(e)  The grant date fair value of the equity awards granted in February 2013 and December 2013 was calculated in accordance with 
ASC 718. We caution that the actual amount ultimately realized by each NEO from the stock option awards will likely vary 
based on a number of factors, including stock price fluctuations, differences from the valuation assumptions used and timing of 
exercise or applicable vesting. For a description of the assumptions made in valuing the equity awards see Note 13, “Share-
Based Compensation” to our consolidated financial statements contained in its 2013 Form 10-K. For PSUs, the grant date fair 
value has been determined based on achievement of target level performance, which is the performance threshold we believe is 
the most likely to be achieved under the grants. 

(f)  In connection with the Spin-off, the adjustments set forth below were made to outstanding Ingersoll Rand equity awards in 

order to maintain their pre-Spin-off intrinsic values.  Due to rounding when adjusting the awards, incremental value was created 
for these stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and RSUs. 

•  Vested and Exercisable Stock Options and SARs: Vested and exercisable Ingersoll Rand stock options and SARs were 
converted into vested and exercisable stock options and SARs of both of Ingersoll Rand and Allegion with the same 
terms and provisions. Holders received 1 stock option or SAR of Allegion for every 3 Ingersoll Rand vested and 
exercisable stock options or SARs held, subject to rounding.  Exercise prices were adjusted to preserve the intrinsic 
value (subject to rounding) immediately before and after Spin-off.

•  Unvested Stock Options: Unvested Ingersoll Rand stock options were converted into unvested Allegion stock options 

with the same terms and provisions.  Both the number of stock options and exercise price were adjusted to preserve the 
intrinsic value (subject to rounding) immediately before and after the Spin-off.

•  Restricted Stock Units: Unvested Ingersoll Rand RSUs were converted into unvested Allegion RSUs with the same 
terms and provisions.  The number of outstanding RSUs was adjusted to preserve the intrinsic value (subject to 
rounding) of the RSUs immediately before and after the Spin-off.

The NEOs, other than Mr. Yu, participate in one or more of the following defined benefit plans: 

2013 Pension Benefits

• 

• 

• 

the Pension Plan;

the Supplemental Pension Plan; and

the EOSP or the KMP.

The Pension Plan is a funded, tax qualified, non-contributory defined benefit plan that covers Allegion’s U.S. employees hired 

prior to June 30, 2012. The Pension Plan provides for normal retirement at age 65. A participant becomes vested in the benefit: (i) 
after five years of service, or (ii) while employed, the participant (a) attains age 65, (b) dies or (c) becomes disabled. The formula to 
determine the lump sum benefit under the Pension Plan is 5% of final average pay (the five highest consecutive years out of the last 
ten years of eligible compensation) for each year of credited service. A choice for distribution between an annuity and a lump sum 
option is available. The Pension Plan was closed to new participants after June 30, 2012, and no further benefits will accrue to any 
Pension Plan participant for service performed after December 31, 2022. Certain participants made an election in 2012 to forego 
accruing further benefits for service performed after December 31, 2012, and, in lieu, receive a non-elective employer contribution 
equal to 2% of eligible compensation in the ESP. No NEOs made this election.

The Supplemental Pension Plan is an unfunded, nonqualified, non-contributory defined benefit restoration plan. Since the IRS 

limits the annual compensation recognized when calculating benefits under the qualified Pension Plan, the Supplemental Pension 
Plan restores what is lost in the Pension Plan due to these limits. The Supplemental Pension Plan covers all Allegion employees who 
participate in the Pension Plan and who are impacted by the IRS Code compensation limits. A participant must meet the vesting 
requirements of the qualified Pension Plan to vest for benefits under the Supplemental Pension Plan. Benefits under the Supplemental 
Pension Plan are available only as a lump sum distribution after termination and paid in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. 
As a result of the 2012 changes to the Pension Plan, the Supplemental Pension Plan was closed to employees hired on or after June 
30, 2012, and no further benefits will accrue to any Supplemental Pension Plan participant for service performed after December 31, 
2022 or after December 31, 2012 to the extent the participant made an election.

The NEOs, other than Mr. Yu, participate in either the EOSP or the KMP. The EOSP, which is closed to new participants, is an 

unfunded, nonqualified, non-contributory defined benefit plan, designed to replace a percentage of an officer’s final average pay 
based on his or her age and years of service at the time of retirement. Final average pay is defined as the sum of the officer’s current 
annual salary plus the average of his or her three highest annual incentive awards during the most recent six years. No other elements 
of compensation (other than salary and annual incentive awards) are included in final average pay. The EOSP provides a benefit 
pursuant to a formula in which 1.9% of an officer’s final average pay is multiplied by the officer’s years of service (up to a maximum 
of 35 years) and then reduced by the value of other retirement benefits the officer will receive that are provided by Allegion under 
certain qualified and nonqualified retirement plans as well as Social Security. Vesting occurs, while the officer is employed by 
Allegion, at the earlier of the attainment of age 55 and the completion of 5 years of service or age 62. Unreduced benefits under the 
EOSP are available at age 62 and benefits are only available as a lump sum after termination and paid in accordance with Section 
409A of the Code.

The KMP, which is closed to new participants, is an unfunded, nonqualified, non-contributory defined benefit plan designed 

to replace a percentage of a key employee’s final average pay based on his or her age and years of service at the time of retirement. 
Final average pay is defined as the sum of the key employee’s current annual salary plus the average of the employee’s three highest 
annual incentive awards during the most recent six years. No other elements of compensation (other than salary and AIM awards) are 
included in final average pay. The KMP provides a benefit pursuant to a formula in which 1.7% of a key employee’s final average pay 
is multiplied by years of service (up to a maximum of 30 years) and then reduced by the value of other retirement benefits the key 
employee will receive that are provided by Allegion under certain qualified and nonqualified retirement plans as well as Social 
Security. Vesting occurs at the earlier of the attainment of age 55 and the completion of 5 years of service or age 65. Benefits are only 
available as a lump sum after termination and paid in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.

 The table below represents the estimated present value of defined benefits for the plans in which each NEO participates.

(a)  Under the EOSP or the KMP, for officers covered prior to May 19, 2009 by Ingersoll Rand, a full year of service is credited for 

any year in which they work at least one day. In the Pension Plan, the Supplemental Pension Plan, the EOSP and the KMP for 
officers first covered on or after May 19, 2009 by Ingersoll Rand, the number of years of credited service is based on elapsed 
time (i.e., credit is given for each month in which a participant works at least one day). For Ms. Santoro, the benefits previously 
provided under Ingersoll Rand’s Supplemental Pension Plan I and Supplemental Pension Plan II were combined in the Spin-off 
into Allegion’s Supplemental Pension Plan and are reported together in the above table.

(b)  The amounts in this column reflect the estimated present value of each NEO’s accumulated benefit under the plans indicated. 
The calculations reflect the value of the benefits assuming that each NEO was fully vested under each plan. The benefits were 
computed as of December 31, 2013, consistent with the assumptions described in Note 10, “Pensions and Postretirement 
Benefits Other than Pensions,” to the annual combined financial statements included the 2013 Form 10-K.

(c)  Mr. Yu does not participate in any Company defined benefit plan.

2013 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

The following is a description of our nonqualified deferred compensation plans.  For the period prior to December 1, 2013, our 

NEOs were eligible to participate in Ingersoll Rand’s deferred compensation plans, which are substantially similar to our plans.

We maintain the EDCP, which is an unfunded, nonqualified plans that permit certain employees, including the NEOs other than 

Mr. Yu, to defer receipt of up to 50% of their annual salary and up to 100% of their AIM awards, PSP awards and RSUs received 
upon commencement of employment. Elections to defer must be made prior to the beginning of the performance period. These 
assets are considered general assets of the Company and are available to our creditors in the event of the Company’s insolvency. For 
the period prior to December 1, 2013, the NEOs were eligible to participate in deferred compensation plans maintained by Ingersoll 
Rand that were substantially similar to the EDCP.

Participants are offered certain investment options (approximately 60 mutual fund investments and ordinary share equivalents) 

and can choose how they wish to allocate their cash deferrals among those investment options. Participants are 100% vested in all 
amounts deferred and bear the risk of any earnings and losses on such deferred amounts. 

Generally, deferred amounts may be distributed following termination of employment or at the time of a scheduled in-service 

distribution date chosen by the participant. If a participant has completed five or more years of service at the time of termination, or 
is terminated due to long-term disability, death or retirement, the distribution is paid in accordance with the participant’s election. If 
a participant terminates without meeting these requirements, the account balance for all plan years will be paid in a lump sum in the 
year following the year of termination. A participant can elect to receive distributions at termination over a period of five, 10, or 15 
annual installments, or in a single lump sum. A participant can elect to receive scheduled in-service distributions in future years that 
are at least two years after the end of the plan year for which they are deferring. In-service distributions can be received in two to 
five annual installments, or if no election is made, in a lump sum. For those participants who have investments in ordinary shares, 
the distribution of these assets will be in the form of ordinary shares, not cash. 

Please refer to Compensation Discussion and Analysis for a description of the Supplemental ESP. 

Mr. Yu participates in two nonqualified deferred compensation plans in China. The Huabao Plan provides for an annual 
company contribution equal to a percentage of annual base salary (12% in Mr. Yu's case) after income tax deduction (excluding 
bonus, allowance and/or benefits). Participants in the Huabao Plan vest at the earlier of retirement, death, permanent disability or 
company initiated termination. The Generali Savings Plan is a frozen deferred compensation plan that pays interest on deferred 
amounts. The Generali Savings Plan was frozen in 2011 and no employee or employer contributions have been made since that 
time. The Generali Savings Plan does not pay a preferential interest rate.

The following table provides information regarding contributions, distributions, earnings and balances for each NEO under 

our nonqualified deferred compensation plans:

Post-Employment Benefits

The following discussion describes the compensation to which each NEO would be entitled in the event of termination of 

such executive’s employment, including termination following a change in control.

Employment Arrangements and Severance.    All of the NEOs are entitled to benefits upon termination of their employment 

following a change in control. Messrs. Petratis and Shannon and Ms. Santoro are also entitled to severance in the event of an 
involuntary termination without cause pursuant to their employment agreements. Messrs. Petratis and Shannon and Ms. Santoro are 
eligible to receive for 24 months and 12 months, respectively, of base annual salary plus a prorated annual incentive award earned for 
the year of termination as determined and paid at the conclusion of the full performance year in accordance with the terms of the plan. 

Our equity award agreements, other than for the Founder’s Grant, provide that upon termination for:

• 

• 

• 

• 

death, disability or retirement, RSUs, stock options and SARs shall immediately vest and the stock options and SARs 
remain exercisable for a period of three years (or five years in the case of retirement for awards granted in 2007 and 
after) following termination;

group termination, RSUs, stock options and SARs immediately vest in the portion of the awards that would have 
vested within twelve months of termination and all vested stock options and SARs remain exercisable for a period of 
three years following termination; 

death or disability, PSUs vest pro-rata based on the time worked during the performance period and the achievement 
of performance goals from the beginning of the performance period through the end of the calendar quarter in which 
employment terminated; and

retirement, group termination or job elimination, PSUs vest pro-rata based on the time worked during the performance 
period and the achievement of performance goals through the end of the performance period. 

The equity award agreements for the Founder’s Grant provide that upon death or disability, all stock options will immediately 

vest and remain exercisable for three years and all PSUs will vest as if the person was employed by the Company throughout the 
performance period.

Change in Control.    Our CIC Plan covers certain officers, including the NEOs. The CIC Plan provides for certain payments 

if the employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” (as defined in the CIC Plan) or by the NEO for “good reason” (as 
defined in the CIC Plan), in each case, within two years following a change in control of the Company. The CIC Plan does not provide 
for a payment to cover the impact to the executive of certain incremental taxes incurred in connection with the payments made 
following a change in control.  The amount paid under the CIC Plan will be reduced to avoid the payment of any excise taxes.

If an NEO’s employment is terminated “without cause” or by the NEO for “good reason” following a change in control, the 

NEO is entitled to the following:

• 

• 

• 

any accrued but unpaid base salary;

an amount equal to the NEO’s annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurred, pro-rated for the months of 
service; and

a lump sum severance payment equal to the two times the sum of:

the NEO’s annual salary in effect on the termination date, or, if higher, the annual salary in effect immediately 
prior to the event that constitutes “good reason”; and

the NEO’s actual annual incentive award for the year of termination.

44

In addition to the foregoing, the NEOs would also be eligible to participate in the Company’s welfare employee health 
programs for the severance period (three years for the CEO) and (two years for the other NEOs) and the Company will pay the 
premium for the first eighteen months. The Company would also provide each NEO up to $25,000 of outplacement services. 

Under the 2013 Plan, outstanding unvested stock options, SARs and RSUs immediately vest and become exercisable or 

payable, as applicable, following a change in control unless an alternate award is provided by the acquiring company.  PSUs, other 
than the Founder’s Grant PSUs, will be deemed to have earned a pro-rata award based on the target award opportunity and total 
number of months worked in the applicable performance period.  The Founder’s Grant PSUs will be deemed to have earned the full 
amount of the award upon a change in control.

A “change in control” is defined as the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) any person unrelated to the Company 

becomes the beneficial owner of 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s voting stock; (ii) the directors serving 
at the time the change-in-control plan was adopted (or the directors subsequently elected by the shareholders of the Company whose 
election or nomination was duly approved by at least two-thirds of the then serving directors) fail to constitute a majority of the Board 
of Directors; (iii) consummation of any transaction or series of transactions under which the Company is merged or consolidated with 
any other company which is not an affiliate; (iv) any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, other than a 
sale or transfer with a corporation where the Company owns at least 80% of the combined voting power of such corporation or its 
parent after such transfer; or (v) any other event that the continuing directors determine to be a change in control; provided however, 
with respect to (i), (iii) and (v) above, there shall be no change in control if shareholders of the Company own more than 50% of the 
combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or the surviving entity or any parent immediately following such 
transaction in substantially the same proportion to each other as prior to such transaction.

Spin-off Protection Plan.  We have adopted a Spin-off Protection Plan that provides a cash severance payment in the event a 
participant’s employment is terminated due to an involuntary loss of job without Cause (as defined in the Spin-off Protection Plan) or 
a Good Reason (as defined in the Spin-off Protection Plan) between December 1, 2013 and December 1, 2014, unless the termination 
is substantially unrelated to the Spin-off.  The cash severance payment would be equal to two and one-half times (for the CEO) or two 
times (for other NEOs) (a) current base salary, and (b) current target annual incentive award.  In addition, the participants will receive 
a pro-rated portion of their target annual incentive award, based on actual Company and individual performance during the fiscal year 
in which termination of employment occurred.  Participants may receive that portion of their transition cash bonus award due to be 
paid on December 1, 2014, in the discretion of the Compensation Committee.  Participants in the EOSP or KMP who are not vested in 
such plans will also receive a cash payment equal to the amount of the benefit to which they would have been entitled if they were 
vested.    

In addition, employees who terminate employment due to an involuntary loss of job without Cause (as defined in the award 
agreement) or for Good Reason (as defined in the award agreement) between December 1, 2013 and December 1, 2014 will, unless 
the termination is substantially unrelated to the Spin-off, (i) immediately vest in all unvested stock options and may exercise all vested 
stock options at any time within the following three-year period or the remaining term of the stock option, if shorter, (ii) immediately 
vest in all RSUs, except that retirement eligible participants would continue their existing vesting schedule, (iii) receive a prorated 
payout of outstanding PSUs based on actual performance at the end of performance period following termination of employment, and 
(iv) have the right to exercise all vested SARs at any time within the following three-year period or the remaining term of the SAR, if 
shorter.  

Enhanced Retirement Benefits. An officer is vested in EOSP or KMP upon the earlier of: (i) the attainment of age 55 and the 
completion of 5 years of service; (ii) attainment of age 62 for the EOSP and age 65 for the KMP; (iii) death; or (iv) change in control. 
For Mr. Shannon and Ms. Santoro, a termination within two years following a change in control also triggers the payment of an 
enhanced benefit whereby two years would be added to both the officer’s age and service with the Company for purposes of the EOSP 
benefit.  There are no enhancements provided to Mr. Petratis under the EOSP or to Mr. Eckersley under the KMP. Benefits under the 
EOSP and KMP are forfeited in the event of termination for cause. In order to be eligible for an EOSP or KMP benefit in the event of 
disability, a participant must remain disabled until age 65. An officer becomes vested in both the Pension Plan and the Supplemental 
Pension Plan upon the completion of 5 years of service. As of December 31, 2013, Mr. Shannon and Mr. Petratis were not vested in 
the EOSP and Mr. Eckersley was not vested in the KMP. Mr. Yu does not participate in any company-sponsored pension plan.

Health Benefits. In the event of a change in control, health benefits are provided, which include our cost of both active health 
and welfare benefits for the severance period, as well as retiree medical, if applicable. Ms. Santoro is the only NEO eligible for retiree 
medical benefits due to her age and service as of January 1, 2003, when eligibility for the retiree medical benefit was frozen by 
Ingersoll Rand. Ms. Santoro has reached the retirement threshold of age 55 with at least 15 years of service and would receive health 
benefits in each scenario outlined in the following table.

45

Post-Employment Benefits Table

The following table describes the compensation to which each of the NEOs would be entitled in the event of termination of 
such executive’s employment on December 31, 2013, including termination following a change in control. The potential payments 
were determined under the terms of our plans and arrangements in effect on December 31, 2013. The table does not include the 
pension benefits or nonqualified deferred compensation amounts that would be paid to an NEO, which are set forth in the Pension 
Benefits table and the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table above, except to the extent that the NEO is entitled to an 
additional benefit as a result of the termination.

(a)  For the “Involuntary without Cause” column, the amounts are calculated in accordance with the Spin-off Protection Plan. For 
the amounts shown under the “Change in Control” columns, refer to the description of how severance is calculated in the 
section above, entitled Post-Employment Benefits.

(b)  For the “Involuntary without Cause” column, the amounts are calculated in accordance with the Spin-off Protection Plan. For 
the amounts under “Change in Control”, these amounts represent the actual award earned for the 2013 performance period, 
which may be more or less than the target award.

(c)  For the “Change in Control,” these amounts represent the value of the Founder’s Grant PSU award payout.  For Mr. Yu, it 
also includes the pro-rata portion of his other outstanding PSUs. Amounts for each column are based on the closing stock 
price of the ordinary shares on December 31, 2013 ($44.19).

(d)  The amounts shown for “Retirement”, “Involuntary without Cause”, “Change in Control”, “Disability” and “Death” represent 
(i) the value of the unvested RSUs, which is calculated based on the number of unvested RSUs multiplied by the closing 
stock price of the ordinary shares on December 31, 2013 ($44.19), and (ii) the intrinsic value of the unvested stock options, 
which is calculated based on the difference between the closing stock price of the ordinary shares on December 31, 2013 
($44.19) and the relevant exercise price. However, only in the event of termination following a “Change in Control” is there 
accelerated vesting of unvested awards. For “Retirement”, “Involuntary without Cause”, “Disability” and “Death”, the 
awards do not accelerate but continue to vest on the same basis as active employees. Because Ms. Santoro is retirement 
eligible, she would continue to vest in stock options and RSUs after termination of employment for any reason other than 
cause.

(e)  In the event of a change in control of the Company and a termination of the NEOs, the present value of the pension benefits 

under the EOSP, KMP and Supplemental Pension Plans would be paid out as lump sums. While there is no additional benefit 
to the NEOs as a result of either voluntary retirement/resignation and/or involuntary resignation without cause, there are 
differences (based on the methodology mandated by the SEC) between the numbers that are shown in the Pension Benefits 
Table and those that would actually be payable to the NEO under these termination scenarios.  The amounts shown under 
change of control represent the estimated benefit provided in excess of the EOSP amount shown in the Pension Benefits 
Table.

(f)  For the “Change in Control” column, the amount represents the maximum expenses we would reimburse the NEO for 

professional outplacement services.

(g)  Represents our cost of health coverage. The cost for “Change in Control” is a combination of continued active coverage for 
eighteen months followed by retiree coverage, while the cost shown under the other scenarios is retiree coverage only.

Why Did I Receive This Proxy Statement?

INFORMATION CONCERNING VOTING AND SOLICITATION

We sent you this Proxy Statement or a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (”Notice”) because our Board 
of Directors is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual General Meeting. This Proxy Statement summarizes the information 
you need to know to vote on an informed basis.

Why Are There Two Sets Of Financial Statements Covering The Same Fiscal Period?

U.S. securities laws require us to send you our 2013 Form 10-K, which includes our financial statements prepared in 

accordance with U.S. GAAP. These financial statements are included in the mailing of this Proxy Statement. Irish law also 
requires us to provide you with our Irish Statutory Accounts for our 2013 fiscal year, including the reports of our Directors and 
auditors thereon, which accounts have been prepared in accordance with Irish law. The Irish Statutory Accounts are available 
on our website at www.allegion.com/irishstatutoryaccounts and will be laid before the Annual General Meeting.

How Do I Attend The Annual General Meeting?

All shareholders are invited to attend the Annual General Meeting. In order to be admitted, you must present a 

form of personal identification and evidence of share ownership.

If you are a shareholder of record, evidence of share ownership will be either (1) an admission ticket, which is 
attached to the proxy card and must be separated from the proxy card and kept for presentation at the meeting if you vote your 
proxy by mail, or (2) a Notice.

If you own your shares through a bank, broker or other holder of record (“street name holders”), evidence of share 

ownership will be either (1) your most recent bank or brokerage account statement, or (2) a Notice. If you would rather have an 
admission ticket, you can obtain one in advance by mailing a written request, along with proof of your ownership of our 
ordinary shares, to:

Secretary
Allegion plc
Block D
Iveagh Court
Harcourt Road
Dublin 2
Ireland

No cameras, recording equipment, electronic devices, large bags, briefcases or packages will be permitted at the 

Annual General Meeting.

Who May Vote?

You are entitled to vote if you beneficially owned our ordinary shares at the close of business on April 14, 2014, the 
Record Date. At that time, there were 96,527,154 of our ordinary shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Each ordinary share 
that you own entitles you to one vote on all matters to be voted on a poll at the Annual General Meeting.

How Do I Vote?

Shareholders of record can cast their votes by proxy by:

• 

• 

• 

using the Internet and voting at www.proxyvote.com;

calling 1-800-690-6903 and following the telephone prompts; or

completing, signing and returning a proxy card by mail. If you received a Notice and did not receive a proxy 
card, you may request one at sendmaterial@proxyvote.com.

The Notice is not a proxy card and it cannot be used to vote your shares.

Shareholders of record may also vote their shares directly by attending the Annual General Meeting and casting their 

vote in person or appointing a proxy (who does not have to be a shareholder) to attend the Annual General Meeting and casting 
votes on their behalf in accordance with their instructions.

Street name holders must vote their shares in the manner prescribed by their bank, brokerage firm or nominee. Street 
name holders who wish to vote in person at the Annual General Meeting must obtain a legal proxy from their bank, brokerage 
firm or nominee. Street name holders will need to bring the legal proxy with them to the Annual General Meeting and hand it in 

48

with a signed ballot that is available upon request at the meeting. Street name holders will not be able to vote their shares at the 
Annual General Meeting without a legal proxy and a signed ballot.

Even if you plan to attend the Annual General Meeting, we recommend that you vote by proxy as described above so 

that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the meeting.

In order to be timely processed, your vote must be received by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on June 10, 2014 (or, if 

you are a street name holder, such earlier time as your bank, brokerage firm or nominee may require). 

How May Employees Vote Under Our Employee Plans?

If you participate in the ESP or the Schlage Lock Company LLC Employee Savings Plan for Bargained Employees, 

then you may be receiving these materials because of shares held for you in those plans. In that case, you may use the enclosed 
proxy card to instruct the plan trustees of those plans how to vote your shares, or give those instructions by telephone or over 
the Internet. They will vote these shares in accordance with your instructions and the terms of the plan.

To allow plan administrators to properly process your vote, your voting instructions must be received by 11:59 
p.m. on June 6, 2014. If you do not provide voting instructions for shares held for you in any of these plans, the plan trustees 
will vote these shares in the same ratio as the shares for which voting instructions are provided.

May I Revoke My Proxy?

You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the Annual General Meeting in any of the following 

ways:

• 

• 

• 

by notifying the Company’s Secretary in writing: c/o Allegion plc, Block D, Iveagh Court, Harcourt Road, 
Dublin 2, Ireland;

by submitting another properly signed proxy card with a later date or another Internet or telephone proxy at a 
later date but prior to the close of voting described above; or

by voting in person at the Annual General Meeting.

Merely attending the Annual General Meeting does not revoke your proxy. To revoke a proxy, you must take one of 

the actions described above.

How Will My Proxy Get Voted?

If your proxy is properly submitted, your proxy holder (one of the individuals named on the proxy card) will vote your 

shares as you have directed. If you are a street name holder, the rules of the NYSE permit your bank, brokerage firm or 
nominee to vote your shares on Item 4 (routine matter) if it does not receive instructions from you. However, your bank, 
brokerage firm or nominee may not vote your shares on Items 1, 2 or 3 (non-routine matters) if it does not receive instructions 
from you (“broker non-votes”). Broker non-votes will not be counted as votes for or against the non-routine matters, but rather 
will be regarded as votes withheld and will not be counted in the calculation of votes for or against the resolution.

If you are a shareholder of record and you do not specify on the proxy card you send to the Company (or when 

giving your proxy over the Internet or telephone) how you want to vote your shares, then the Company-designated 
proxy holders will vote your shares in the manner recommended by our Board of Directors on all matters presented in 
this Proxy Statement and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion regarding any other matters properly 
presented for a vote at the meeting.

What Constitutes A Quorum?

The presence (in person or by proxy) of shareholders entitled to exercise a majority of the voting power of the 
Company on the Record Date is necessary to constitute a quorum for the conduct of business. Abstentions and broker non-votes 
are treated as “shares present” for the purposes of determining whether a quorum exists.

49

What Vote Is Required To Approve Each Proposal?

A majority of the votes cast at the Annual General Meeting is required to approve each of Items 1, 2 and 4.  A majority 

of the votes cast means that the number of votes cast “for” an Item must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that Item.  
The affirmative vote of a plurality of the Company’s ordinary shares represented and voting at the Annual General Meeting is 
required to approve Item 3. 

Although abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as “shares present” at the Annual General Meeting for the 

purpose of determining whether a quorum exists, they are not counted as votes cast either “for” or “against” the resolution and, 
accordingly, will not affect the outcome of the vote.  

Who Pays The Expenses Of This Proxy Statement?

We have hired Georgeson Inc. to assist in the distribution of proxy materials and the solicitation of proxies for a fee 

estimated at $14,000, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Proxies will be solicited on behalf of our Board of Directors by mail, in 
person, by telephone and through the Internet. We will bear the cost of soliciting proxies. We will also reimburse brokers and 
other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy materials to the 
persons for whom they hold shares.

How Will Voting On Any Other Matter Be Conducted?

Although we do not know of any matters to be presented or acted upon at the Annual General Meeting other than the 

items described in this Proxy Statement, if any other matter is proposed and properly presented at the Annual General Meeting, 
the proxy holders will vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

The Company does not generally engage in transactions in which its executive officers, directors or nominees for 

directors, any of their immediate family members or any of its 5% shareholders have a material interest. Pursuant to the 
Company’s written related person transaction policy, any such transaction must be reported to management, which will prepare 
a summary of the transaction and refer it to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee for consideration and 
approval by the disinterested directors. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee reviews the material terms of 
the related person transaction, including the dollar values involved, the relationships and interests of the parties to the 
transaction and the impact, if any, to a director’s independence. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee only 
approves those transactions that are in the best interest of the Company. In addition, the Company’s Code of Conduct, which 
sets forth standards applicable to all employees, officers and directors of the Company, generally proscribes transactions that 
could result in a conflict of interest for the Company. Any waiver of the Code of Conduct for any executive officer or director 
requires the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. Any such waiver will, to the extent required by law or the NYSE, 
be disclosed on the Company’s website at www.allegion.com or on a current report on Form 8-K. No such waivers were 
requested or granted in 2013.

We have not made payments to directors other than the fees to which they are entitled as directors (described under the 

heading “Compensation of Directors”) and the reimbursement of expenses related to their services as directors. We have made 
no loans to any director or officer nor have we purchased any shares of the Company from any director or officer.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and officers, and persons 

who beneficially own more than ten percent of the Company’s ordinary shares, to file reports of ownership and reports of 
changes in ownership with the SEC and the NYSE. To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on its review of such forms 
received by the Company and written representations that no other reports were required.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS AND NOMINATIONS

Any proposal by a shareholder intended to be presented at the 2015 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of the 

Company must be received by the Company at its registered office at Block D, Iveagh Court, Harcourt Road, Dublin 2, Ireland, 
Attn: Secretary, no later than December 26, 2014, for inclusion in the proxy materials relating to that meeting. Any such 
proposal must meet the requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14a-8, in order for such 
proposals to be eligible for inclusion in our 2015 proxy statement.

Our Articles of Association set forth procedures to be followed by shareholders who wish to nominate candidates for 

election to the Board of Directors in connection with annual general meetings of shareholders or pursuant to written 
shareholder consents or who wish to bring other business before a shareholders’ general meeting. All such nominations must be 
accompanied by certain background and other information specified in the Articles of Association. In connection with the 2015 
annual general meeting, written notice of a shareholder’s intention to make such nominations or bring business before the 
annual general meeting must be given to the Secretary of the Company not later than March 13, 2015. If the date of the 2015 
annual general meeting occurs more than 30 days before, or 60 days after, the anniversary of the 2014 annual general meeting, 
then the written notice must be provided to the Secretary of the Company not later than the seventh day after the date on which 
notice of such annual general meeting is given.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will consider all shareholder recommendations for candidates 

for Board membership, which should be sent to the Committee, care of the Secretary of the Company, at the address set forth 
above. In addition to considering candidates recommended by shareholders, the Committee considers potential candidates 
recommended by current directors, Company officers, employees and others. As stated in our Corporate Governance 
Guidelines, all candidates for Board membership are selected based upon their judgment, character, achievements and 
experience in matters affecting business and industry. Candidates recommended by shareholders are evaluated in the same 
manner as director candidates identified by any other means.

In order for you to bring other business before a shareholder general meeting, timely notice must be received by the 
Secretary of the Company within the time limits described above. The notice must include a description of the proposed item, 
the reasons you believe support your position concerning the item, and other specified matters. These requirements are separate 
from and in addition to the requirements you must meet to have a proposal included in our Proxy Statement. The foregoing 
time limits also apply in determining whether notice is timely for purposes of rules adopted by the SEC relating to the exercise 
of discretionary voting authority.

If a shareholder wishes to communicate with the Board of Directors for any other reason, all such communications 

should be sent in writing, care of the Secretary of the Company, or by email at allegionboard@allegion.com.

53

HOUSEHOLDING

SEC rules permit a single set of annual reports and proxy statements to be sent to any household at which two or more 

shareholders reside if they appear to be members of the same family. Each shareholder continues to receive a separate proxy 
card. This procedure is referred to as householding. While the Company does not household in mailings to its shareholders of 
record, a number of brokerage firms with account holders who are Company shareholders have instituted householding. In 
these cases, a single proxy statement and annual report will be delivered to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless 
contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once a shareholder has received notice from his or her 
broker that the broker will be householding communications to the shareholder’s address, householding will continue until the 
shareholder is notified otherwise or until the shareholder revokes his or her consent. If at any time a shareholder no longer 
wishes to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report, he or she 
should notify his or her broker. Any shareholder can receive a copy of the Company’s proxy statement and annual report by 
contacting the Company at its registered office at Block D, Iveagh Court, Harcourt Road, Dublin 2, Ireland, Attention: 
Secretary or by accessing it on the Company’s website at www.allegion.com.

Shareholders who hold their shares through a broker or other nominee who currently receive multiple copies of the 

proxy statement and annual report at their address and would like to request householding of their communications should 
contact their broker.
