The leadership appointments underscore Allegion's strong commitment to operational excellence, superior customer service and industry-leading innovation.

The following additional members comprise Allegion's executive leadership team and have been elected officers of the future company:

Evans will work closely with Eckersley and Allegion's leadership team between now and the spinoff to ensure a seamless transition.
"As security industry experts, these individuals are uniquely prepared to lead Allegion to success as an independent, public company. I look forward to working closely with them to create new opportunities for our employees, strengthen corporate and shareholder value and deliver a first-class experience for customers located around the world," saidDave Petratis, chairman and CEO of Allegion.
