The basis for your work is the following new Service Agreement (Dienstvertrag), which is to conclusively govern the mutual rights and duties of the contracting parties with effect from January 15, 2026. Adient on the one hand and you on the other agree that all written or oral agreements made to date regarding your previous employment relationship (Arbeitsverhältnis) are cancelled by this subsequent Service Agreement and removed and replaced by the following provisions:

1.Responsibilities und Scope of Duties

1.1Effective 1 January 2026, you are employed as Executive Vice President, EMEA. You shall conduct Adient’s business with the diligence of a prudent businessperson and in accordance with statutory law, the articles of association, the resolutions of Adient’s partners’ meeting, the Service Agreement and the rules of procedure for the management as amended at any time. You will report to Adient’s President & CEO.

1.2You are not a legal organ (Organ) of Adient. Adient is represented vis-à-vis third parties by Adient Holding Europe Ltd. as general partner. Adient Holding Europe Ltd. will grant you procuration (Prokura) or other commercial authority; scope and any limitations will be set out in a separate power of attorney.

1.3We expect you to use your initiative in the pursuit of the goals of Adient in a responsible manner and, in particular, to accept the binding nature of the Ethics Policy which shall apply in the version in effect from time to time. You acknowledge that compliance with the principles of the Ethics Policy and adherence to the rules of conduct stipulated therein constitute a particularly important contractual obligation. You are responsible for setting the ‘tone at the top’ within the region for conducting business ethically and with integrity.

1.4You have previously signed a declaration to the effect that you are to assume entrepreneurial duties to prevent accidents at the workplace in accordance with your duties as a member of the management. This declaration continues to apply and is an integral part of this Agreement.

2.Place of Work, Scope of Duties, Secondary Employment

2.1Your primary place of work is Burscheid. The role requires regular domestic and international travel.

2.2You shall devote all your work efforts, know-how and ability to the business of Adient. Your working hours shall depend on the requirements and needs of the operation. This shall include the obligation to work on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays and to conduct business travels if required.

2.3The assumption of any secondary self-employed or employed activity, for or without remuneration, requires the prior written consent of Adient’s President & CEO. Such consent may be given at the discretion of the President & CEO. Consent granted for the assumption of such activity may be revoked at any time, with it being understood that the secondary employment activity must be discontinued immediately in the event of revocation. If you have assumed a position of advisory or supervisory board member on the basis of the consent granted to you, in the event of its revocation you must resign from this office at the earliest possible date in accordance with the provisions applicable here.

3.Remuneration

3.1Effective 1 January 2026, your employment activities are remunerated with a gross yearly salary of € 450,000.00 (in words: Euro four hundred fifty thousand 00/100), which shall be paid in monthly instalments in accordance with the company’s pay practices.

3.2The remuneration pursuant to Section 3.1 above is in settlement of your entire activities. You are not entitled to receive remuneration for overtime work, work on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, holiday pay or Christmas bonuses.

Annex 1

KEY EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AND CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is made and entered into as of the 15th day of January 2026 (the “Effective Date”), by and among Adient plc (along with any successor thereto, the “Company”), Adient US LLC and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Executive”).

BACKGROUND

The Executive is employed by Adient Germany Ltd. & Co. KG (the “Employer”) in a key executive capacity. The parties desire to provide the Executive with certain compensation and benefits in the event the Executive’s employment with the Employer is terminated under certain circumstances, and to provide certain protections in the event of a change of control of the Company. In addition, the Executive possesses intimate knowledge of the business and affairs of the Company and its affiliates (the Company and all affiliates are collectively referred to herein as the “Company Group”) and has acquired certain confidential information and data with respect to the Company Group, which the Company desires to ensure is protected.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto mutually covenant and agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
TERM

This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall continue until October 1, 2027 (the “Initial Term”). Thereafter, this Agreement shall renew automatically for successive one-year renewal periods unless and until any party provides written notice to the other parties of the intent not to renew this Agreement at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or any subsequent one-year term. Non­renewal of this Agreement by any party shall not trigger payment of severance benefits under this Agreement. If this Agreement expires without severance benefits becoming payable hereunder, then the Executive will be eligible to receive severance benefits following the expiration of this Agreement pursuant to the Employer’s severance policy as then in effect.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change of Control (as defined below) occurs prior to the end of the Initial Term or any subsequent one-year term, then the term of the Agreement shall be extended automatically until the second anniversary of such Change of Control (the “Change of Control Period”). For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall have the meaning given in the Adient plc 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan, or any successor or replacement plan thereto.

ARTICLE II
SEVERANCE BENEFITS

Section 2.01    Eligibility for Severance Benefits.

(a)Eligibility. If the Executive’s Separation from Service (as defined below) occurs due to (i) a termination by the Company Group for reasons other than Cause (as defined below), death or disability, or (ii) a resignation for Good Reason (as defined below), and if the Executive complies with the requirements of Section 2.03, then the Executive shall be entitled to the benefits described in Section

▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Service Agreement January 2026

2.02. For purposes hereof, if such a Separation from Service occurs during the Change of Control· Period, then such separation is referred to as a “Change of Control Termination.”

(b)Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

i.“Cause” shall mean any of the Executive’s (A) substantial failure (other than due to the Executive’s disability) or refusal to perform the essential duties and responsibilities of his or her job as required by the Employer; (B) material violation of any fiduciary duty owed to the Company Group; (C) conviction of, or entry of a plea of no contest with respect to (1) a felony or (2) a misdemeanor which involves dishonesty, fraud or morally repugnant behavior; (D) dishonesty or theft in connection with the Company Group; (E) a material violation of any of the Company Group’s material rules or material policies applicable to the Executive; or (F) other egregious or morally repugnant conduct that has, or could have, a serious and detrimental impact on the Company Group or its employees. The Human Capital and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) shall determine, in good faith and exercising reasonable judgment, whether Cause exists.

ii.“Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of one of the following events without the Executive’s written consent:

A.Before or after the Change of Control Period: (1) a change in the principal geographic location at which the Executive must perform services to a location that is more than thirty (30) miles outside of Burscheid, Germany; or (2) a material reduction to the Executive’s total cash compensation target or equity award value target; provided that a material reduction to any of the aforementioned will not give rise to a Good Reason if such material reduction is the result of a widespread reduction in compensation applied consistently to other peer executives.

B.During the Change of Control Period: (1) an event described in clause A(1) above; (2) either (x) a material reduction to the Executive’s total cash compensation target or equity award value target from the levels in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control Period or (y) the application of performance goals to the Executive’s incentive compensation awards for which the probability of attainment is materially more difficult than the probability of attainment applicable to the goals under the Company Group’s incentive plans as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control; (3) the assignment to the Executive of any duties inconsistent in any material respect with the Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control Period which represent a diminution of such duties, or any other action by the Company Group which results in a material diminution in such authority, duties or responsibilities; or (4) a material diminution of the duties or responsibilities of the Executive such that the position held is no longer commensurate with that of a regional Executive Vice President.

The Executive shall be considered to resign for Good Reason under Section 2.01(b)(ii)(A) or (B) only if the Executive provides, within ninety (90) days

▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Service Agreement January 2026

after the Good Reason event, a written notice to the Company in accordance with Section 5.03 specifying in reasonable detail the events or conditions causing Good Reason. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, the Company Group shall have the opportunity, but shall have no obligation, to cure such events or conditions that give rise to the Good Reason resignation. If the Company Group does not cure such events or conditions within the thirty (30)-day period, the Executive’s resignation for Good Reason will be effective at the end of such thirty (30) day cure period.

iii.“Separation from Service” (or derivations thereof) means the legal termination of the employment relationship upon expiration of the notice period.

Section 2.02    Amount of Severance Benefits. Subject to the conditions of Sections 2.01 and 2.03, the Employer (or, in the case of Section 2.02(c), the Company) shall pay or provide the Executive with the following severance benefits:

(a)Salary Replacement Benefits. A cash payment equal to one (1.0) times the Executive’s annual base salary, or, in the event of a Change of Control Termination, a cash payment equal to two and one-half (2.5) times the sum of (i) the Executive’s annual base salary and (ii) the Executive’s Average Bonus Amount.

For purposes hereof, the “Average Bonus Amount” means the average gross annual cash bonuses paid (or if earned, payable), to the Executive by the Employer in respect of the three fiscal years immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the Executive’s Separation from Service occurs. All annual bonus amounts used to determine the Average Bonus Amount shall be determined without regard to any mandatory or voluntary deferrals of such amounts.

(b)Bonus. A cash payment of his or her annual bonus for the fiscal year in which the Separation from Service occurs, determined based on actual performance at the end of the applicable performance period, and prorated to reflect the length of employment during the performance period; provided that, in the event of a Change of Control Termination, the annual bonus will not be subject to proration.

(c)Equity Awards. Unless an award agreement provides a more favorable result, the Executive’s equity awards shall vest on a prorated basis, based on the portion of the vesting or performance period, as applicable, which the Executive has completed at the time of the Executive’s Separation from Service, provided that all performance based awards shall vest at the end of the performance period only if and to the extent the performance goals thereunder are achieved.

Section 2.03    Additional Requirements to Receive Severance Benefits. In order to receive severance benefits, the Executive must: (a) execute a release in the form provided by the Company Group within the time period specified in such release, and not revoke such release during the revocation period provided in such release; and (b) comply with all the terms and conditions of such release and the covenants set forth in Article Ill. If the Employer determines that the Executive has not fulfilled these requirements, or if the Committee determines after the Executive’s Separation from Service that the Executive (i) has engaged in conduct that constitutes Cause at any time prior to the Executive’s Separation from Service (and the facts underlying the Cause determination were not fully known to the Employer at the time of such Separation from Service) or (ii) has been convicted of or entered a plea of no contest with respect to a crime based on conduct which occurred prior to the Executive’s Separation from Service, then the Employer may discontinue the payment or provision of the

▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Service Agreement January 2026

severance benefits, and may require the Executive to repay any portion of the severance benefits already received under this Agreement upon written notice. The form of release provided by the Employer shall contain provisions that are typical for such releases and may contain the covenants set forth in Article Ill, but modified as the Employer deems reasonably necessary to ensure compliance with the maximum time, service, scope, geographic or other limitations, as the case may be, permitted by applicable laws.

Section 2.04    Payment. The cash severance benefits shall be paid in a single lump sum payment within ninety (90) days following the Executive’s Separation from Service, or shall be paid in such amounts during such period (not to exceed the number of months of continuation pay represented by the amount of the benefit following the Executive’s Separation from Service), as is determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. The annual bonus amount payable pursuant to Section 2.02(b) shall be paid at the same time as bonuses would be payable under the applicable bonus or incentive plan or program. The equity awards that vest pursuant to Section 2.02(c) shall be paid or settled at the time provided in such awards. All payments under this Agreement are subject to applicable federal, state and local taxes and withholdings. In the event of the Executive’s death prior to receiving the full cash payment due to him or her, the remaining amount of such payment shall be paid to the Executive’s estate in a single lump-sum payment within thirty (30) days following the Executive’s death, to the extent practicable, or otherwise at the time when the Executive would have been entitled to the payment had the Executive survived.

Section 2.05    Termination for Cause, Death, Disability and Voluntary Resignation. If the Employer terminates the Executive’s employment for Cause or if the Executive’s employment is terminated due to death, disability or voluntary resignation (that is not for Good Reason), then the Executive shall not be entitled to receive any severance benefits under this Agreement and shall be entitled only to those benefits that are legally required to be provided to the Executive. The Employer may withhold paying severance benefits and the Company may delay causing any equity awards to vest under this Agreement pending prompt resolution of any good faith inquiry that is likely to lead to a finding resulting in Cause.

Section 2.06    Offset to Severance Benefits. To the extent consistent with law, the Company Group reserves the right to offset from any severance benefits due hereunder, the amount of any monies owed to the Company Group by the Executive or the value of Company Group property that the Executive has retained in his or her possession. Prior to such offset, the Company Group shall provide a written accounting to the Executive of the monies owed or the value of the property for which the offset applies.

Section 3.07    Severability; Blue Pencil. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Executive has had the opportunity to seek advice of counsel in connection with this Agreement and the restrictive covenants contained herein are reasonable in geographical scope, temporal duration and in all other respects.

If any court or other decision-maker of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the covenants in this Article III are invalid or unenforceable because of the duration, geographic scope or other limitation of such provision, then the duration, scope or other limitation of such provision, as the case may be, shall be modified to the minimum extent needed so that such provision becomes valid and enforceable, and in its modified form, such provision shall be enforced.

Section 3.08    Whistleblower Rights. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the covenants set forth in this Article Ill are not intended to (a) interfere with the Executive’s right and responsibility to give truthful testimony under oath or to make truthful statements and provide information to a government agency; (b) prohibit the Executive from filing a charge or complaint with, making a report to, participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by, or otherwise cooperating with a government agency; or (c) limit or restrict the Executive from exercising any legally protected whistleblower rights (including pursuant to Rule 21F under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor provision).
