Dividend Reinvestment Drives PHINIA Director's Ownership Increase

According to the filing, both the 17 shares of common stock and the 10 DRSUs reported were acquired through the automatic reinvestment of dividends on outstanding DRSUs held on the dividend record date, as required by the terms of those awards. The transaction code for both acquisitions is "A," indicating securities acquired rather than disposed of, and both were received at a price of $0. PHINIA Inc. is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol PHIN and is headquartered at 3000 University Drive, Auburn Hills, Michigan 48326.

The filing explains that each DRSU is the economic equivalent of one share of PHINIA Inc. common stock. The DRSUs reported in Table II are scheduled to vest on May 22, 2027, and will settle into an equal number of shares of common stock, including any additional DRSUs accumulated through dividend equivalents, upon Newton's termination of board service. This settlement mechanism operates under PHINIA's Director Deferred Compensation Program and its 2023 Stock Incentive Plan, as described in the filing's footnotes.
