SECTION 5 – CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) On March 14, 2012, the Organization and Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Visteon Corporation (the “Company”) approved the award to eligible employees of incentive bonus opportunities for 2012 pursuant to the Company’s annual incentive program and in accordance with the terms of the Visteon Corporation 2010 Incentive Plan. Pursuant to the 2012 annual incentive, certain executives are eligible to receive a cash bonus based on the Company’s performance relative to a target adjusted EBITDA metric (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and additional adjustments), a target working capital metric (trade working capital (defined as trade receivables plus inventory minus trade payables) as a percentage of sales), a target product quality metric (annual improvement in defects per million as measured by the Company’s OEM customers), and the completion of a target number strategic transactions. 65% of each eligible executive’s award will be based on the adjusted EBITDA metric, with a target adjusted EBITDA of $685 million; 10% will be based on the working capital metric, with a target of 6.7%; 10% will be based on the product quality metric, with a target of a ten percent improvement over the previous year; and 15% will be based on the completion of the target number of strategic transactions. The Compensation Committee has the discretion to modify or adjust metrics to take into account the disposition of businesses and/or facilities, currency fluctuations and other factors. The following table sets forth the 2012 annual incentive opportunity for the principal executive and financial officers as well as the current executive officer of the Company that was a “named executive officers” in the Company’s 2011 proxy statement (the “Named Executives”):
