PROXY STATEMENT

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company

GENERAL INFORMATION

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, an Ohio corporation (“Goodyear,” “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”), to be voted at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held April 15, 2013 (the “Annual Meeting”), and at any adjournments thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice.

Goodyear’s executive offices are located at 200 Innovation Way, Akron, Ohio 44316-0001. Our telephone number is 330-796-2121.

Our Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2012 is enclosed with this Proxy Statement. The Annual Report is not considered part of the proxy solicitation materials. The approximate date on which this Proxy Statement and the related materials are first being sent to shareholders is March 18, 2013.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be Held on April 15, 2013:

The Proxy Statement, Proxy Card and Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2012 are available at www.proxyvote.com.

Shares Voting.    Holders of shares of the common stock, without par value, of Goodyear (the “Common Stock”) at the close of business on February 20, 2013 (the “record date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote the shares of Common Stock they hold on the record date at the Annual Meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 245,528,843 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote.

Quorum.    In order for any business to be conducted, holders of at least a majority of shares entitled to vote must be represented at the meeting, either in person or by proxy.

Adjourned Meeting.    The holders of a majority of shares represented at the meeting, whether or not a quorum is present, may adjourn the meeting. If the time and place of the adjourned meeting is announced at the time adjournment is taken, no other notice need be given.

Vote Required.    In accordance with Goodyear’s Articles of Incorporation, a director nominee must receive, in an uncontested election of directors for which cumulative voting is not in effect, a greater number of votes cast “for” his or her election than “against” his or her election. Under Ohio law, an incumbent director who is not re-elected will continue in office as a “holdover” director until his or her successor is elected by a subsequent shareholder vote, or his or her earlier resignation, removal from office or death. In order to address “holdover” terms for any incumbent directors who fail to be re-elected under our majority vote standard, our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that if a director nominee does not receive a majority affirmative vote, he or she will promptly offer his or her resignation as a director to the Board of Directors. Within 90 days, the Board will decide, after taking into account the recommendation of the Governance Committee (in each case excluding the nominee(s) in question), whether to accept the resignation. The Governance Committee and the Board may consider any relevant factors in deciding whether to accept a director’s resignation. The Board’s explanation of its decision shall be promptly disclosed in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The affirmative vote of at least a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date is required for a management or shareholder proposal, other than an advisory vote, to be adopted at the Annual

1

Meeting. When considering the results of advisory votes, the Board of Directors intends to consider only those votes actually cast at the Annual Meeting.

Abstentions and “broker non-votes,” which occur when your broker does not have discretionary voting authority on a matter and you do not provide voting instructions, have the same effect as votes against any proposal voted upon by shareholders but have no effect on the election of directors or advisory votes.

Voting Shares Held in Street Name.    If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker, bank or nominee who is considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or nominee on how to vote and are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. Your broker, bank or nominee has enclosed a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the broker, bank or nominee regarding how to vote your shares. If you do not return the voting instruction card, the broker or other nominee will determine if it has the discretionary authority to vote on the particular matter. Under applicable rules, brokers have the discretion to vote only on matters deemed to be routine, such as the ratification of the selection of an accounting firm (Proxy Item 9). The election of directors (Proxy Item 1), the executive compensation advisory vote (Proxy Item 2), the approval of the 2013 Performance Plan (Proxy Item 3) and the various amendments to our Articles of Incorporation and Code of Regulations (Proxy Items 4 through 8) are not considered to be routine matters, and your broker will not have discretion to vote on those matters unless you specifically instruct your broker to do so by returning your signed voting instruction card. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, your shares will not be voted for any director nominee or on any matter on which your broker does not have discretionary authority (resulting in a broker non-vote). Broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against a proposal, but will have no effect on the election of directors or advisory votes.

Cumulative Voting for Directors.    In the voting for directors, you have the right to vote cumulatively for the candidates nominated. Under the Ohio General Corporation Law, all of the shares of Common Stock may be voted cumulatively in the election of directors if any shareholder gives written notice to our President, a Vice President or the Secretary not less than 48 hours before the time set for the Annual Meeting, and an announcement of the notice is made at the beginning of the Annual Meeting by the Chairman or the Secretary or by or on behalf of the shareholder giving such notice. If cumulative voting is in effect, you may (a) give one candidate the number of votes equal to twelve times the number of shares of Common Stock you are entitled to vote, or (b) distribute your votes among the twelve candidates as desired.

Voting of Proxy.    Messrs. David L. Bialosky, Darren R. Wells and Bertram Bell have been designated as proxies to vote shares of Common Stock in accordance with your instructions. You may give your instructions using the accompanying proxy card, via the internet or by telephone.

Your shares will be voted for the twelve nominees identified at pages 8 through 16, unless your instructions are to vote against any one or more of the nominees or to vote cumulatively for one or more of the nominees for election. The proxies may cumulatively vote your shares if they consider it appropriate, except to the extent you expressly withhold authority to cumulate votes as to a nominee.

Your Board of Directors anticipates that all of the nominees named will be available for election. In the event an unexpected vacancy occurs, your proxy may be voted for the election of a new nominee designated by the Board of Directors.

Proxies received and not revoked prior to the Annual Meeting will be voted in favor of each of Proxy Items 2 through 9, unless your instructions are otherwise.

Revocability of Proxy.    You may revoke or revise your proxy (whether given by mail, via the internet or by telephone) by the delivery of a later proxy or by giving notice to Goodyear in writing or in open meeting. Your proxy revocation or revision will not affect any vote previously taken. If you hold your shares in “street name” please refer

2

to the information forwarded by your broker, bank or nominee who is considered the shareholder of record for procedures on revoking or changing your voting instructions.

Confidentiality.    Your vote will be confidential except (a) as may be required by law, (b) as may be necessary for Goodyear to assert or defend claims, (c) in the case of a contested election of director(s), or (d) at your express request.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES AND BOARD MATTERS

Goodyear is committed to having sound corporate governance principles. Having such principles is essential to running Goodyear’s business efficiently and to maintaining Goodyear’s integrity in the marketplace. Goodyear’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, Business Conduct Manual, Board of Directors and Executive Officers Conflict of Interest Policy and charters for each of the Audit, Compensation, Corporate Responsibility and Compliance, Finance, and Governance Committees are available at http://www.goodyear.com/investor/investor governance.html. Please note, however, that information contained on the website is not incorporated by reference in this Proxy Statement or considered to be a part of this document. A copy of the committee charters and corporate governance policies may also be obtained upon request to the Goodyear Investor Relations Department.

Board Independence

The Board has determined that ten of the twelve director nominees (Mmes. Peterson and Streeter and Messrs. Conaty, Firestone, Geissler, Hellman, McCollough, McGlade, Palmore and Weidemeyer) are independent within the meaning of Goodyear’s independence standards, which are based on the criteria established by The NASDAQ Stock Market and are included as Annex I to Goodyear’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. Mr. Kramer, our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President, is not considered independent. In addition, in light of his relationship with the United Steelworkers (the “USW”), Mr. Wessel is not considered independent. Further, the Board expects that Mr. Wessel will recuse himself from discussions and deliberations regarding Goodyear’s relationship with the USW. The Board also determined that the nature and size of the ordinary course commercial relationships between Goodyear and Xerox Corporation and between Goodyear and Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. did not impair the independence of Mr. Firestone or Mr. McGlade, respectively. In each case, the relationships were de minimis, constituting less than one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) of either Goodyear’s or the other company’s consolidated gross revenues in the current fiscal year and each of the last three completed fiscal years.

Board Structure and Committee Composition

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, Goodyear’s Board has twelve directors, each elected annually, and the following five committees: (1) Audit, (2) Compensation, (3) Corporate Responsibility and Compliance, (4) Finance, and (5) Governance. The current membership and the function of each of the committees are described below. Each of the committees operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. During 2012, the Board held eight meetings. Each director attended at least 75% of all Board and applicable Committee meetings. Directors are expected to attend annual meetings of Goodyear’s shareholders. All of the directors attended the last annual meeting of shareholders. As described on Goodyear’s website at http://www.goodyear.com/investor/investor_contact_brd.html, shareholders may communicate with the Board or any of the directors (including the Lead Director or the non-management directors as a group) by sending correspondence to the Office of the Secretary, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, 200 Innovation Way, Akron, Ohio 44316-0001. All communications will be compiled by the Secretary and submitted to the Board or the individual directors on a periodic basis.

Audit Committee

The members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Firestone, Mr. Geissler, Mr. Hellman (Chairman) and Mr. McCollough. The Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is independent within the

3

meaning of Goodyear’s independence standards and applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations, and each of Mr. Hellman and Mr. McCollough is an audit committee financial expert. The Committee met seven times in 2012.

The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities for oversight of the integrity of Goodyear’s financial statements, Goodyear’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements related to financial reporting, the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence, and the performance of Goodyear’s internal auditors and independent registered public accounting firm. Among other things, the Audit Committee prepares the Audit Committee report for inclusion in the annual proxy statement; annually reviews the Audit Committee charter and the Committee’s performance; appoints, evaluates and determines the compensation of Goodyear’s independent registered public accounting firm; reviews and approves the scope of the annual audit plan; reviews and pre-approves all auditing services and permitted non-audit services (and related fees) to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm; oversees investigations into complaints concerning financial matters; and reviews policies and guidelines with respect to risk assessment and risk management, including Goodyear’s major financial risk exposures. The Audit Committee works closely with management as well as Goodyear’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has the authority to obtain advice and assistance from, and receive appropriate funding from Goodyear for, outside legal, accounting or other advisors as the Audit Committee deems necessary to carry out its duties. The report of the Audit Committee is on page 75 of this Proxy Statement.

Compensation Committee

The members of the Compensation Committee are Mr. Conaty, Mr. McCollough, Ms. Streeter and Mr. Weidemeyer (Chairman). The Board has determined that each member of the Compensation Committee is independent within the meaning of Goodyear’s independence standards. The Committee met five times in 2012.

The Board of Directors has delegated to the Compensation Committee primary responsibility for establishing and administering Goodyear’s compensation programs for officers and other key personnel. The Compensation Committee oversees Goodyear’s compensation and benefit plans and policies for directors, officers and other key personnel, administers its stock plans (including reviewing and recommending equity grants to officers and other key personnel), and reviews and approves annually all compensation decisions relating to officers, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The Compensation Committee also prepares a report on executive compensation for inclusion in the annual proxy statement and reviews and discusses the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management and recommends its inclusion in the annual proxy statement. The report of the Compensation Committee is on page 39 of this Proxy Statement.

In performing its duties, the Compensation Committee meets periodically with the CEO to review compensation policies and specific levels of compensation paid to officers and other key personnel, and reports and makes recommendations to the Board regarding executive compensation policies and programs. The Compensation Committee informs the non-management directors of the Board of its decisions regarding compensation for the CEO and other significant decisions related to the administration of its duties. The Compensation Committee also will consider the results of shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation matters and the changes, if any, to Goodyear’s executive compensation policies, practices and plans that may be warranted as a result of any such vote and reviews an annual risk assessment of Goodyear’s executive compensation policies, practices and plans as part of its role in overseeing management’s identification and management of, and planning for, compensation-related risks. Under its charter, the Compensation Committee may delegate its authority to one or more of its members as appropriate.

The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain and terminate outside advisors, including independent compensation consultants, to assist it in evaluating actual and proposed compensation for officers. The Compensation Committee also has the authority to approve, and receive appropriate funding from Goodyear for, any such outside advisor’s fees. The Compensation Committee solicits advice from its independent compensation

4

consultant, Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc., on executive compensation matters relating to the CEO and other officers. This advice is described in more detail under the heading “Compensation of Executive Officers and Directors – Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Role of Compensation Consultant.”

Committee on Corporate Responsibility and Compliance

The members of the Committee on Corporate Responsibility and Compliance are Mr. Geissler, Mr. McGlade, Mrs. Peterson (Chairperson) and Mr. Wessel. The Committee met three times in 2012.

The Committee on Corporate Responsibility and Compliance reviews Goodyear’s legal compliance programs as well as its business conduct policies and practices and its policies and practices regarding its relationships with shareholders, employees, customers, governmental agencies and the general public. The Committee also monitors Goodyear’s objectives, policies and programs with respect to environmental sustainability, workplace health and safety, diversity and product quality. The Committee may also recommend appropriate new policies to the Board of Directors.

Finance Committee

The members of the Finance Committee are Mr. Firestone (Chairman), Mr. Hellman, Mr. Palmore and Mr. Weidemeyer. The Committee met four times in 2012.

The Finance Committee consults with management and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding Goodyear’s capital structure, dividend policy, tax strategies, compliance with terms in financing arrangements, risk management strategies, banking arrangements and lines of credit, and pension plan funding. The Finance Committee also reviews and consults with management regarding policies with respect to interest rate and foreign exchange risk, liquidity management, counterparty risk, derivative usage, credit ratings, and investor relations activities.

Governance Committee

The members of the Governance Committee are Mr. Conaty, Mr. McGlade, Mr. Palmore (Chairman), Mrs. Peterson and Ms. Streeter. The Board has determined that each member of the Governance Committee is independent within the meaning of Goodyear’s independence standards. The Committee met six times in 2012.

The Governance Committee identifies, evaluates and recommends to the Board of Directors candidates for election to the Board. The Committee also develops and recommends appropriate corporate governance guidelines, recommends policies and standards for evaluating the overall effectiveness of the Board of Directors in the governance of Goodyear and undertakes such other activities as may be delegated to it from time to time by the Board of Directors.

Board Leadership Structure

Mr. Kramer serves as our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President. The Board also has a “Lead Director” who is responsible for coordinating the activities of the non-management directors and leading executive sessions of the non-management and independent directors, which are generally held in conjunction with regularly scheduled Board meetings. Additional duties of our Lead Director are set forth in Annex II to our Corporate Governance Guidelines. Mr. McCollough currently serves as our Lead Director.

The Board believes that the current Board leadership structure is the most appropriate for the Company and its shareholders at this time. Mr. Kramer has held positions of increasing responsibility at Goodyear for the past thirteen years, including Chief Financial Officer and President, North American Tire, and has extensive knowledge of the Company and the tire industry, which is valuable to the Board in his role as Chairman. In addition, the Board

5

has an independent Lead Director to ensure that the independent and non-management members of the Board maintain proper oversight of management. The Board has no policy that requires the combination or separation of the Chairman and CEO roles, and may reconsider our leadership structure from time to time based on considerations at that time.

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Management continually monitors the material risks facing the Company, including competitive, financial (accounting, liquidity and tax), legal, operational, regulatory and strategic risks. The Board as a whole has responsibility for oversight of management’s identification and management of, and planning for, those risks. Reviews of certain areas are conducted by relevant Board Committees that report their deliberations to the Board.

The Board and its Committees oversee risks associated with their principal areas of focus, as summarized below. The Board and its Committees exercise their risk oversight function by carefully evaluating the reports they receive from management and by making inquiries of management with respect to areas of particular interest to the Board. Board oversight of risk is enhanced by the fact that the Lead Director and Chairman attend virtually all Committee meetings and that Committee reports are provided to the full Board following each Committee meeting. We believe that our leadership structure also enhances the Board’s risk oversight function since our Lead Director regularly discusses the material risks facing the Company with management. The Chairman is also expected to report candidly to his fellow directors on his assessment of the material risks we face, based upon the information he receives as part of his management responsibilities. Both the Lead Director and the Chairman are well-equipped to lead Board discussions on risk issues.

Board/Committee	Primary Areas of Risk Oversight
Full Board	Strategic, financial and execution risk associated with the annual operating plan and five-year strategic plan (including allocation of capital investments); major litigation and regulatory matters; acquisitions and divestitures; and management succession planning.
Audit Committee	Risks associated with financial matters, particularly financial reporting, accounting, disclosure and internal controls.
Compensation Committee	Risks associated with the establishment and administration of executive compensation and equity-based compensation programs and performance management of officers.
Governance Committee	Risks associated with Board effectiveness and organization, corporate governance matters, and director succession planning.
Finance Committee	Risks associated with liquidity, pension plans (including investment performance, asset allocation and funded status), taxes, currency and interest rate exposures, and insurance strategies.
Committee on Corporate Responsibility and Compliance	Risks associated with health, safety and the environment, sustainability, and the Company’s legal and ethical compliance program.

Consideration of Director Nominees

The policy of the Governance Committee is to consider properly submitted shareholder nominations of candidates for membership on the Board as described below under “Identifying and Evaluating Nominees for Director.” In evaluating such nominations, the Governance Committee seeks to address the criteria described below under “Director Selection Guidelines.”

Any shareholder desiring to submit a proposed candidate for consideration by the Governance Committee should send the name of such proposed candidate, together with biographical data and background information concerning the candidate, to the Office of the Secretary, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, 200 Innovation Way, Akron, Ohio 44316-0001.

Director Selection Guidelines

The Board of Directors has approved guidelines for selecting directors as part of our Corporate Governance Guidelines. Criteria considered in the selection of directors include:

• Personal qualities and characteristics, including the highest personal and professional integrity, sound judgment, and reputation in the business community or a record of public service;

• Substantial business experience or professional expertise and a record of accomplishments;

• Experience and stature necessary to be highly effective, working with other members of the Board, in serving the long-term interests of shareholders;

• Ability and willingness to devote sufficient time to the affairs of the Board and the Company and to carry out their duties effectively; and

• The needs of the Company at the time of nomination to the Board and the fit of a particular individual’s skills and personality with those of the other directors in building a Board that is effective and responsive to the needs of the Company.

In order to provide a diversity of perspectives in Board deliberations, the nominating process should also attempt to ensure that the Board as a whole reflects diverse business experience, substantive expertise, skills and background, as well as diversity in personal characteristics, such as age, gender and ethnicity. A person’s ability to satisfy Goodyear’s independence standards and those of The NASDAQ Stock Market may also be evaluated.

Identifying and Evaluating Nominees for Director

The Governance Committee is responsible for identifying, screening and recommending persons for nomination to the Board. The Governance Committee considers candidates for Board membership suggested by its members and other Board members, as well as management and shareholders. On occasion, the Committee may also retain third-party executive search firms to identify candidates. In addition, under our prior master labor agreement with the USW, the USW had the right to nominate a candidate for consideration for membership on the Board. Mr. Wessel, who became a director in December 2005, was identified and recommended by the USW. Mr. Palmore and Mr. McGlade were initially identified as potential candidates for Board membership by a third-party executive search firm.

Once a prospective nominee has been identified, the Committee makes an initial determination as to whether to conduct a full evaluation of the candidate. This initial determination is based on whatever information is provided to the Committee with the recommendation of the prospective candidate, as well as the Committee’s own knowledge of the prospective candidate, which may be supplemented by inquiries to the person making the recommendation or others. The preliminary determination is based primarily on the need for additional Board members and the likelihood that the prospective nominee can satisfy the director selection guidelines described above. If the Committee determines, in consultation with the Chairman of the Board and other Board members as appropriate, that additional consideration is warranted, it may request a third-party search firm to gather additional information

7

about the prospective nominee’s background and experience and to report its findings to the Committee. The Committee then evaluates the prospective nominee against the standards and qualifications set out in Goodyear’s director selection guidelines. The Committee also considers such other relevant factors as it deems appropriate, including the balance of management and independent directors and the evaluations of other prospective nominees. As described above under “Director Selection Guidelines,” diversity is among the many factors that the Committee considers in evaluating prospective nominees. We consider the members of our Board to have a diverse set of business and personal experiences, backgrounds and expertise, and to be diverse in terms of age, gender and ethnicity.

In connection with this evaluation, the Committee determines whether to interview the prospective nominee, and if warranted, one or more members of the Committee, and others as appropriate, interview prospective nominees in person or by telephone. After completing this evaluation and interview, the Committee makes a recommendation to the full Board as to the persons who should be elected to the Board, and the Board makes its decision after considering the recommendation and report of the Committee.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

(Item 1 on your Proxy)

The Board of Directors has selected the following twelve nominees recommended by the Governance Committee for election to the Board of Directors. The directors will hold office from their election until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders, or until their successors are elected and qualified. If any of these nominees for director becomes unavailable, the persons named in the proxy intend to vote for any alternate designated by the current Board of Directors.

COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

In 2012, the disciplined execution of our strategy and structural changes we made to our business over the past few years helped us deliver strong results in both earnings and operating cash flows. We achieved sustained profitability amidst an environment of global economic uncertainty, weak consumer demand, and volatile raw material costs.

Despite substantial contributions to our pension plans and the strong performance of our portfolio last year, our unfunded pension obligations increased primarily due to decreases in the discount rate driven by the Federal Reserve’s low interest rate policy. We believe our unfunded pension obligations continue to negatively impact our stock price performance. In February 2013, we announced a strategy intended to reduce the exposure of our U.S. pension plans to future interest rate and equity market movements.

Our total segment operating income for 2012 was more than $1.2 billion, marking the second year in a row – and only the third time in the company’s history – that we have reached that level of performance. In addition, we delivered strong cash flow results for the year as a result of progress on our working capital initiatives. Price and product mix drove an 8% improvement in revenue per tire compared to 2011 (excluding the impact of foreign currency translation), reflecting our strategic focus on offering innovative products in profitable target market segments.

In 2012, our strong operating performance enabled us to withstand a variety of severe headwinds that tested both our strategy and resolve. For example, there has yet to be a comprehensive and lasting solution to the Euro crisis, which contributed to slow economic growth and dampened consumer demand in Europe over the past year. Growth in China has slowed from its previous double-digit percent increase. In Latin America, currency volatility and political instability in several countries contributed to a challenging business climate in that region.

Despite this difficult environment, we demonstrated significant progress toward our long-term goals as we continued to move Goodyear in the right direction.

Our positive results were driven by strong performance in three of our four businesses.

• In North America, we achieved record segment operating income of $514 million, exceeding our target of $450 million one year ahead of schedule. These results confirm a complete transformation of the business, as record profit was achieved despite volumes that were near recessionary levels.

• In Asia Pacific, full-year segment operating income of $259 million was a record, despite slower growth in the key China market and recession in Australia, our largest business in the region.

• In Latin America, we delivered segment operating income of $223 million and stabilized the business despite a weak economy and a strong currency in Brazil, our largest business in the region.

Also, we had the following key achievements:

• Made capital investments of more than $1.1 billion in support of future growth opportunities, including significant investments in emerging markets in China and Chile;

• Completed our move to a new factory in Pulandian, China, supporting our key strategy of winning in both the consumer and commercial tire markets in this growing region;

• Offset $576 million in higher raw material costs with $1.0 billion in improved price and product mix;

• Realized approximately $346 million of cost savings, bringing the total cost savings for 2010 to 2012 to approximately $1.1 billion and exceeding our $1.0 billion goal for that three-year period; and

• Achieved a ratio of working capital to net sales of 10.7%, continuing our track record of improvements in working capital efficiency.

19

As a result of our operating performance described above, payouts under our annual incentive plan ranged from 38% to 148% of target for our named executive officers. In addition, the performance targets for the 2012 performance periods under our 2010-2012, 2011-2013 and 2012-2014 long-term awards were exceeded and payouts were approved for the applicable periods, subject to continued service, ranging from 141% to 166% of target for our named executive officers.

In response to current executive compensation trends and after considering the results of our 2012 say-on-pay vote, the Compensation Committee also:

• Amended our change in control plan to eliminate excise tax gross ups and “walk away” rights for any officer following a change in control;

• Revised the design of our long-term awards beginning in 2012 by establishing a three-year plan whereby the performance targets for each year of the three-year period are established on the grant date in order to provide greater accountability for long-term results, weighted 50% for the first year, 30% for the second year and 20% for the third year, and maintained the three-year total shareholder return modifier first introduced in 2011; and

• Changed our peer group composition for 2012 compensation decisions.

The Compensation Committee also has a number of other policies and practices that we believe are consistent with our performance-based compensation philosophy and serve the long-term interests of our shareholders:

• Double-trigger change-in-control provisions in our change-in-control plan and our proposed 2013 Performance Plan (and our existing 2008 Performance Plan);

• No tax gross-ups paid to our executive officers for any perquisites;

• Robust stockholding guidelines for officers and directors, including stock retention provisions following the exercise of stock options or the vesting of other stock-based awards;

• Prohibitions on the hedging and pledging of our Common Stock by officers, directors and employees; and

• A claw-back policy.

We feel very positive about the progress made in our North American, Latin American and Asia Pacific businesses in 2012 and are confident in our team’s ability to continue delivering improved profitability. Our strategy is clear, and despite challenges we expect to face, we are positioned to deliver sustainable, positive results over the long term.

We continue to make the necessary adjustments to our business now to be prepared when robust growth in the tire industry returns. We are confident in the fundamentals of the tire industry and in our ability to continue our positive momentum.

The key objectives of our executive compensation program are to:

• motivate executives and other key personnel to attain appropriate short-term and long-term performance goals and manage the Company for sustained long-term growth,

• align executives’ interests with those of our shareholders, and

• attract and retain qualified and experienced executive officers and other key personnel.

20

In support of these objectives, we provide executive compensation and benefits that are market-competitive in which a large portion of the total opportunity is variable and tied to our performance and changes in shareholder value over a multi-year period. The key components of compensation provided to our executive officers and how each supports our compensation objectives are presented in the following table:

Component	Description	Participants	Objectives
Annual Compensation
Base Salary	• Annual cash compensation	• All employees	• Provide a minimum level of fixed compensation necessary to attract and retain employees • Recognize skills, competencies, experience, leadership and individual contribution
Management Incentive Plan — Annual Cash Incentive	• Annual cash incentive based on corporate performance. Awards may be reduced (but not increased) based on corporate and/or operating unit performance measures, such as EBIT and operating cash flow, and individual performance.	• Certain executive officers (including all named executive officers)	• Link annual cash compensation to attainment of key short-term performance goals: • Across total company and operating units as measured primarily by the achievement of annual operating goals • By the individual as measured by achievement of specific strategic goals and demonstrated leadership traits
Long-Term Compensation

Compensation Philosophy and Key Principles

The following core principles form the foundation of the compensation program for our executives, including the CEO and the other executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table (collectively, the “named executive officers”):

First, compensation programs should motivate our executives to take actions that are aligned with our short- and long-term strategic objectives, and appropriately balance risk versus potential reward.

Second, as executives move to a greater level of responsibility, the percentage of their pay based on performance should increase to ensure the highest level of accountability to shareholders.

Third, performance pay should offer an opportunity for above average compensation when our performance exceeds our goals balanced by the risk of below average compensation when it does not.

Fourth, the percentage of total compensation paid in the form of equity should also increase as executives have increasing responsibility for corporate performance, thereby more closely aligning their interests with those of our shareholders.

In implementing our executive compensation program according to the principles described above, we take into account our challenging financial position, which is driven in part by under-funded legacy pension obligations that do not reflect the cost of our ongoing business operations.

We generally target base salaries for our officers below median market rates, in the aggregate, consistent with the requirements of our master labor agreement with the United Steelworkers (the “USW Agreement”), and we target performance-based and equity compensation at rates that, on average, are at the median market rate. The actual positioning of target compensation relative to the median varies based on each executive’s experience and skill set, and generally results in executives who are new in their role being placed lower in the range and those with more experience being placed higher in the range. We emphasize variable compensation because it minimizes fixed expense associated with salary and enables annual cash compensation and total compensation to fluctuate directly with performance against operating goals and changes in share price. This approach aligns overall costs with performance and provides executives with a leveraged and attractive compensation opportunity that varies based on results. This approach also provides an opportunity for actual compensation to exceed targeted market rates through superior performance. Conversely, executives may earn less than target for performance that does not meet our goals or due to declines in our stock price, and as a result, when our stock price declines and/or specific operating objectives are not attained, realized compensation may fall into the lower quartile relative to market rates.

23

Consistent with the above philosophy, the Compensation Committee believes that base salary should comprise approximately 20% of “primary compensation,” which we define to include salary, annual cash incentive and long-term compensation. The remaining portion of the primary compensation opportunity is a performance-based mix of annual cash incentive, stock options, performance shares and long-term cash-based incentive awards. The design and mix of our variable compensation has evolved over the past several years to balance cost, share dilution and attraction and retention objectives in support of the core principles described above. The market value of our Common Stock, which continued to experience significant volatility during 2012, and the availability of shares under our equity compensation plans constrain our ability to use stock-based compensation to deliver a specified level of targeted compensation opportunity.

Compensation Decision-Making

In performing its duties, the Compensation Committee meets periodically with the CEO to review compensation policies and specific levels of compensation paid to officers and other key personnel, and reports and makes recommendations to the Board regarding executive compensation policies and programs. In addition, the CEO annually makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding salary adjustments and the setting of annual incentive targets and awards and long-term compensation targets and awards for officers other than himself, including the other named executive officers. In determining the compensation of a named executive officer, the Compensation Committee considers individual performance, our performance and relative shareholder return, the compensation of officers with similar responsibilities at comparable companies, the awards given to the named executive officer in past years, the relationship between the compensation to be received by the officer and the compensation to be received by the other named executive officers (which we refer to as “internal pay equity”), including comparing the relationship to that found at comparable companies, and such other factors that the Committee deems relevant that are discussed elsewhere in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis. For further information regarding the Compensation Committee and its authority and responsibilities, see “Corporate Governance Principles and Board Matters – Compensation Committee” at page 4.

On an ongoing basis, the Compensation Committee reviews our executive compensation practices to determine whether they meet, and are consistent with, the key objectives of our compensation program. The Compensation Committee generally adheres to the guidelines and philosophy described above under “Compensation Philosophy and Key Principles.” However, significant changes in our business or the markets in general, may cause the Compensation Committee to deviate from these guidelines if deemed appropriate. This allows the Compensation Committee to motivate our executives and other key personnel to attain appropriate short-term and long-term performance goals and to manage the Company for sustained long-term growth, serve the best interests of the Company and our shareholders, and attract and retain talented executives.

The Compensation Committee considered the economic and tire industry environment when it established our 2012 executive compensation program in February 2012. The performance targets for the 2012 performance period under our variable incentive plans would be achieved, at the target performance level, if we successfully executed our operating plan for 2012, which reflected the challenging and uncertain economic and industry environment. The targets the Compensation Committee established were considered aggressive targets, the achievement of which would mean we had successfully met the significant challenges posed by continuing weak economic conditions, were a stronger competitor and were poised for future growth. In light of the higher overall performance targets relative to recent recessionary periods (2009 to 2011) that were established for the 2012 awards under our variable incentive plans, the Compensation Committee provided that the maximum award would be 200% of target, rather than 150% of target, consistent with our practice prior to the recent recession. In order to further align our long-term incentive plans with shareholder interests, awards made under those plans in 2012 were subject to an increase or decrease of up to 20% based on our total shareholder return versus the S&P 500 over the three-year period ending on December 31, 2014.

Role of Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain and terminate outside advisors, including compensation consultants, to assist it in evaluating actual and proposed compensation for our officers. During 2012, the Compensation Committee retained Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc., as its independent compensation consultant, to provide advice and assistance on executive compensation matters, including the 2012 compensation decisions that are discussed elsewhere in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis. As part of its engagement, Frederic W. Cook & Co. reviewed our executive compensation peer group and conducted a competitive analysis of compensation for the named executive officers as well as our operational and stock price performance relative to the peer group. Frederic W. Cook & Co. also assisted the Committee with a variety of other issues, including setting CEO compensation, compensation issues related to leadership succession activities, the design and establishment of performance goals under our variable incentive plans, and the design of the new Executive Severance Plan and the proposed 2013 Performance Plan. In addition, Frederic W. Cook & Co. reviewed and provided recommendations regarding our non-management director compensation program and made a presentation to the full Board on trends and regulatory developments in executive compensation. A representative of Frederic W. Cook & Co. regularly attends Compensation Committee meetings. Frederic W. Cook & Co. works with Goodyear management only under the direction of the Compensation Committee and does not provide any other advice or consulting services to the Company.

Benchmarking of Primary Compensation

As noted above, the Compensation Committee generally targets primary compensation levels for named executive officers at median market rates. For these purposes, the Compensation Committee has determined “market” rates by considering two sources:

• proxy statements of 17 peer companies with annual revenues at the time of the analysis ranging from $10.1 billion to $55.7 billion and median revenues of $17.3 billion (for 2012, we had revenues of $21.0 billion); and

• broad-based compensation surveys published from time to time by national human resources consulting firms.

For 2012 compensation decisions, the peer group noted above consisted of:

•  3M Company	•  Johnson Controls, Inc.
•  Caterpillar Inc.	•  Lear Corporation
•  Cummins Inc.	•  PACCAR Inc.
•  Deere & Co.	•  Parker-Hannifin Corporation
•  E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.	•  PPG Industries, Inc.
•  Eaton Corporation plc	•  Stanley Black & Decker, Inc.
•  Honeywell International Inc.	•  TRW Automotive Holdings Corp.
•  Illinois Tool Works Inc.	•  Whirlpool Corporation
•  Ingersoll-Rand plc

This peer group was selected because the companies, as a whole, represent organizations of comparable size and complexity that we compete with for executive talent. The peer group includes companies in similar industries with comparable business models and global reach, but does not include other companies in the tire industry because no other U.S.-based tire company is similar in size and complexity to us and non-U.S.-based tire companies do not publish comparable compensation information.

25

For 2012 compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee comprehensively reviewed the composition of the peer group using the following criteria: (1) size, including revenues, market capitalization and enterprise value; (2) global manufacturing focus; (3) industry focus, particularly companies in the automotive industry; (4) consumer branded product companies; (5) companies with which we compete for executive talent; and (6) number of employees. As a result of that review, the Compensation Committee removed Emerson Electric, Textron and United Technologies from our 2012 peer group and added Cummins, Ingersoll-Rand, Parker-Hannifin and Stanley Black & Decker. The Compensation Committee may continue to make changes in the peer group from time to time based on the criteria described above or other relevant factors.

Data with respect to comparable elements of primary compensation is compiled for the peer group of companies described above from available sources, including, in most cases, the most recently available annual proxy statements and other SEC filings that address executive compensation matters.

Elements of Compensation

Annual Compensation

Base Salaries

We target base salaries in the aggregate below median market rates, as required by the USW Agreement, and place correspondingly greater emphasis on performance-based incentive and equity compensation. Salary guidelines for each named executive officer’s position are based primarily on market data that we derive through our benchmarking practices, as described above. We also develop salary guidelines from compensation surveys based on revenues of the surveyed companies. In addition to data derived from these surveys, the Compensation Committee reviews general surveys prepared by national human resources consulting firms indicating past, present and annual increases to salaries for executive positions. The Compensation Committee also considers the CEO’s recommendations (other than with respect to his base salary), which are based in substantial part on the guidelines described above as well as on the CEO’s evaluation of the performance of each named executive officer against corporate, operating unit and individual objectives established at the start of each year, their current and future responsibilities, our recent financial performance, retention considerations, internal pay equity, and general economic and competitive conditions.

2012 Base Salary Decisions

Using the methodologies described above for setting salary guidelines, we compared total compensation levels for our named executive officers and our other officers against market compensation data provided by Frederic W. Cook & Co. We concluded that the base salaries of our named executive officers were, in the aggregate, below the market median, consistent with the USW Agreement.

In 2012, the overall increase in base salaries for all officers was 4.3%. Base salary increases were determined in February 2012. Messrs. Kramer, Wells, de Bok and Bialosky received increases of 5.0%, 5.6%, 5.5% and 3.8%, respectively. Mr. Smith, who joined the Company in October 2011, did not receive a base salary increase in 2012. Salaries of the named executive officers in 2012 were an average of 7% lower than the median indicated by the salary guidelines described above. Salaries in 2012 averaged approximately 17% of primary compensation paid to the named executive officers.

Annual Cash Incentives Under the Management Incentive Plan

Under the Management Incentive Plan, each participant is eligible to receive a maximum performance award equal to a percentage of the Company’s EBIT for the year. “EBIT,” as defined in the Management Incentive Plan, means the Company’s net sales, less cost of goods sold, and selling, administrative and general expenses, as reported in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year, prior to accrual of any amounts for payment under the Management Incentive Plan, adjusted to eliminate the effects of charges for restructurings, discontinued operations, extraordinary items, other unusual or non-recurring items, and the cumulative effect of tax

26

or accounting changes, each as defined by generally accepted accounting principles or identified in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, notes to the consolidated financial statements or management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.

Specifically, the CEO is eligible to receive a performance award equal to 0.75% of EBIT and the other named executive officers are each eligible to receive a performance award equal to 0.50% of EBIT. The actual performance award granted to a participant is determined by the Compensation Committee, which retains the discretionary authority to reduce or eliminate (but not increase) a performance award based on its consideration of, among other things, corporate and/or business unit performance against achievement of financial or non-financial goals, economic and relative performance considerations, and assessments of individual performance, which we refer to as the “MIP performance objectives.”

The MIP performance objectives are designed to emphasize important short-term operating and tactical objectives that directly drive the creation of shareholder value and provide appropriate balance with the metrics used in our long-term incentives. An individual’s target incentive level for the award, taking into account the MIP performance objectives, is set annually at rates near median market levels. Each MIP performance objective has a target level as well as a threshold and maximum level, which are determined based on the perceived difficulty of the established targets and actual results for those measures in prior years.

Awards are generally paid in cash. However, named executive officers may elect to defer all or a portion of their award in the form of cash or stock units. If deferred in the form of stock units, we will match 20% of the deferred amount with additional stock units that will vest in one year subject to the executive’s continued employment. Any stock units are converted to shares of Common Stock and paid to the participant in January of the fourth year following the end of the plan year under which the award was earned. See “Executive Deferred Compensation Plan” below.

2012 Annual Incentive Payouts

For 2012, our EBIT, prior to accrual of any amounts for payment under the Management Incentive Plan, was $1,174 million, and the MIP performance objectives under the Management Incentive Plan were as follows:

• for corporate officers (including Messrs. Kramer, Wells, Bialosky and Smith): (i) 40% based on Goodyear’s EBIT, after accrual of any amounts for payment under the Management Incentive Plan (“Corporate EBIT”); (ii) 40% based on Goodyear’s “operating cash flow” (cash flow from operations and investing activities, each adjusted for foreign currency exchange, less the change in restricted cash and dividends paid to minority interests in subsidiaries); and (iii) 20% based on the operating drivers described below.

• for officers of our four operating units (including Mr. de Bok) (a) 60% on that operating unit’s results as follows: (i) 40% based on the operating unit’s EBIT, after accrual of any amounts for payment under the Management Incentive Plan (“Operating Unit EBIT”); (ii) 40% based on the operating unit’s operating cash flow (as defined above); and (iii) 20% based on the operating drivers described below; and (b) 40% on overall company results as described in the preceding bullet point. We believe these weightings hold our operating unit executives most accountable for financial results in the areas where they have the most control and influence, but also motivate them to work cooperatively with other operating units to maximize results for the entire Company.

The Compensation Committee used Corporate EBIT and Operating Unit EBIT to measure our results of operations and operating cash flow to measure our liquidity, which enables us to provide funding for investments in future growth. The Compensation Committee also emphasized the balance between profitability and liquidity by equally weighting EBIT and operating cash flow.

27

In 2012, the Compensation Committee established the following operating drivers that were consistent with our annual operating plan and are tied to the achievement of important strategic objectives that drive the success of our business, which we refer to as our “Strategy Roadmap”:

Strategy Roadmap – Key How To’s	Operating Drivers
Market-Back Innovation Excellence Target Profitable Market Segments	New Product Vitality — Meet goals for the proportion of branded replacement tire sales volume from products launched in the last four years.
Operational Excellence	Manufacturing Productivity — Achieve $100 million in cost reductions from improvements in labor, overhead and utilities costs and raw material cost productivity.
Enabling Investments	Working Capital Excellence — Achieve a ratio of working capital to net sales of 11.2%.

The Compensation Committee established the MIP performance objectives in February 2012, taking into account the economic environment that is discussed above under the heading “Overview.” Consistent with past practices, the Compensation Committee excluded accelerated depreciation expense related to plant closures from the Corporate EBIT and Operating Unit EBIT targets and excluded certain cash payments related to restructuring actions from the operating cash flow targets. In addition, the Compensation Committee adjusted our actual results for overall company operating cash flow for actions taken in 2012 to mitigate the impact of a potential future devaluation of the Venezuelan currency (which, in fact, subsequently occurred in February 2013). The Compensation Committee determined that a negative operating cash flow target was appropriate given our planned capital expenditures of $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion, which enable us to take advantage of future growth opportunities, anticipated global pension contributions of $550 million to $600 million, and interest expense of $360 million to $385 million. Overall, the Compensation Committee believed the MIP performance objectives reflected a significant stretch for the Company given the financial and operating challenges presented by the uncertain economic environment.

In February 2013, the Compensation Committee reviewed actual results for 2012 with respect to achievement of the company-wide and operating unit MIP performance objectives.

	Target		Actual Adjusted Results		Performance (% over/(under) target)
MIP Overall Company Performance (2012):
Corporate EBIT		$1,200 million	$	1,170 million		(2.5%)
Operating cash flow		$(620) million		$(121) million		80%

The Europe, Middle East and Africa Tire (“EMEA”) unit (the performance of which is relevant for determining Mr. de Bok’s incentive payment) did not meet either its Operating Unit EBIT threshold or its operating cash flow threshold.

The Compensation Committee also considered our achievement of the operating drivers, including the degree of difficulty in achieving our goals under the drivers given the economic environment during 2012 and other qualitative supporting factors, such as our underlying operating performance. The Committee then assessed whether our performance against the operating drivers was below, at or above target, taking into consideration the qualitative factors described in the preceding sentence. The Committee determined that we exceeded two of the three operating drivers but fell short of our new product vitality goal by approximately two percentage points. In reaching that conclusion, the Committee considered, among other things, the following achievements by the Company and the contributions of each operating unit to those achievements:

• Achieving approximately $196 million of manufacturing productivity cost savings versus a goal of $100 million, and $346 million of total cost savings under our cost savings plan.

• Achieving a ratio of working capital to net sales of 10.7% versus a goal of 11.2%.

28

Since the overall company operating cash flow target was exceeded and the Corporate EBIT target was nearly met, the Committee determined that the operating driver performance should mirror the calculated performance using the financial performance measures for overall company results. Since EMEA did not meet either its Operating Unit EBIT or operating cash flow thresholds, the Committee determined that EMEA would not receive any payout based upon its operating driver performance. In reaching these decisions, the Committee considered whether the performance under the financial performance measures and the operating drivers were appropriately aligned, and concluded that they were.

The Compensation Committee then reviewed its assessment of the CEO’s performance and the CEO’s assessment of each of the other named executive officer’s performance during 2012, and their respective contributions to our results. In particular, the Compensation Committee considered the CEO’s contributions to the achievement of:

• Strong working capital management, which drove strong cash flow performance.

• Record segment operating income in North America and Asia Pacific, tempered by poor performance in EMEA due to continued economic weakness in Europe.

• Improvements in price and product mix of over $1.0 billion that exceeded raw material cost increases of $576 million.

• Continued strong momentum in innovation.

• Successfully completing our three-year cost savings plan and exceeding our $1.0 billion goal by $100 million.

• Driving operational excellence initiatives.

• Continued strengthening of our leadership team.

The CEO and the Compensation Committee also considered the contributions of the other named executive officers in furthering the Company’s strategic initiatives described in the preceding bullet points.

The Compensation Committee then establishes an aggregate incentive pool for all officers, and determines the payout for each officer. In this process, the officer’s target incentive amount is first multiplied by the same percentage used to determine the applicable portion of the aggregate incentive pool. (For example, if the portion of the aggregate incentive pool applicable to such officer, e.g., overall company, is funded at 150% of the aggregate target incentive amount, the officer’s individual payout initially would be set at 150% of his individual incentive target.) Then, the CEO assesses the officer’s individual performance and contributions towards Company goals and makes his recommendations with respect to individual payout amounts to the Compensation Committee, which considers the CEO’s recommendations and determines the final payouts. The Compensation Committee undertakes the same process for the CEO and makes the determination as to the final payout amount for the CEO. Officers can earn between 0% and 200% of their target incentive, but the total payout for all officers may not exceed the aggregate incentive pool.

In light of our Corporate EBIT or Operating Unit EBIT, as the case may be, operating cash flow and operating driver performance and the other considerations described above, the Compensation Committee limited the awards for Messrs. Kramer, Wells, Bialosky and Smith to payouts of 148% and for Mr. de Bok to a payout of 38% of their respective target amounts under the 2012 MIP performance objectives.

29

The table below presents information regarding the target and actual awards for our named executive officers under the Management Incentive Plan:

Name	Target Under MIP Performance Objectives ($)		Actual Award ($)		Actual  Award as a % of Target Under MIP Performance Objectives			Actual  Award as a % of Base Salary
Kramer	$	1,575,000	$	2,331,000		148	%		222	%
Wells		502,850		744,218		148	%		132	%
de Bok		522,522		200,000		38	%		34	%
Bialosky		405,000		599,400		148	%		111	%
Smith		446,250		660,450		148	%		126	%

Long-Term Compensation

Long-term incentives are delivered through grants of stock options and performance shares under our 2008 Performance Plan, a shareholder-approved equity compensation plan, and long-term cash-based incentive awards under our Executive Performance Plan. Long-term performance-based compensation is generally designed to represent approximately 65% of the primary compensation of named executive officers, assuming target performance levels. This is consistent with our emphasis on long-term compensation, which better ties the executive’s compensation to long-term operational success and shareholder value creation. The mix of long-term compensation between stock option grants, performance share grants and cash-based long-term incentives was based, in part, on the market value of our Common Stock, the number of shares available for grant under the 2008 Performance Plan, and considerations relating to managing the dilutive effect of share-based awards. These factors impact our ability to use stock-based compensation to deliver a specified level of targeted compensation opportunity. As a result, the Compensation Committee believes that a cash-based plan, in combination with our stock-based awards, is necessary to provide competitive performance and retention incentives. In order to further align our long-term incentive plans with shareholder interests, performance share and long-term cash-based incentive awards are subject to an increase or decrease of up to 20% based on our total shareholder return versus the S&P 500 over the three-year period of those awards. In addition, the Compensation Committee further revised the design of our performance share and long-term cash-based incentive awards in 2012 by establishing a three-year plan whereby the performance targets for each year of the three-year period are established on the grant date in order to provide greater accountability for long-term results, weighted 50% for the first year, 30% for the second year and 20% for the third year.

The amount and terms of grants to named executive officers under the 2008 Performance Plan and the Executive Performance Plan are based on criteria established by the Compensation Committee and consist of responsibility level, base salary level, current Common Stock market price, officer performance, recent Goodyear performance, internal pay equity, and, with respect to the 2008 Performance Plan, the number of shares available under the plan.

Cash-Based Awards Under the Executive Performance Plan

The Executive Performance Plan provides long-term incentive compensation opportunities in order to motivate key personnel to achieve our long-term business objectives and to attract, retain and reward key personnel.

2012 Grants Under the Executive Performance Plan

The Compensation Committee granted Executive Performance Plan units in February 2012 that have the following characteristics:

• the target value is $100 per unit;

30

• the payout amount is based on results over a three-year period, with performance targets for each year of the three-year period established on the grant date, weighted 50% for the first year, 30% for the second year and 20% for the third year;

• the payout amount can range from $0 per unit to $200 per unit for the 2012-2014 awards based on actual results (and assuming the recipient remains continuously employed by us through the entire three-year period); and

• the payout amount can increase or decrease up to 20% (up to a maximum of $200 per unit) based on our total shareholder return versus the S&P 500 over the three-year period ending December 31, 2014.

The number of target units awarded annually to each named executive officer is based on a number of considerations, including market data about competitive long-term compensation, share availability under our equity compensation plans and the CEO’s recommendations (other than with respect to his own award), which are based on the CEO’s evaluation of the performance of each named executive officer, our recent performance, internal pay equity, retention considerations, and general economic and competitive conditions.

The performance criteria for the 2012, 2013 and 2014 performance periods for the 2012-2014 awards were, consistent with our strategic plan, based 50% on net income and 50% on total cash flow, net of debt. The same performance criteria were used to measure 2012 performance for the 2010-2012 and 2011-2013 awards. Results were based on our consolidated performance, with no award tied to business unit performance. In this manner, the plan balances performance measures used under the Management Incentive Plan and reinforces the need for teamwork among executives. Net income was used as a measure to focus on improvement in profitability. Cash flow focused on our efforts to manage the cash requirements associated with our business, including our debt and pension obligations, and our efforts to improve our capital structure and provide funding for investments in future growth. Adjusting for net debt provides incentive to reduce our obligations, including our debt and pension obligations. The amount of debt that is netted out is equal to the change in our total debt and our cash and cash equivalents, as adjusted for our pension contributions.

The Compensation Committee set the performance targets for the 2012, 2013 and 2014 performance periods in February 2012, taking into account the economic environment that is discussed above under the heading “Overview.” The Compensation Committee also emphasized the balance between liquidity and profitability by equally weighting net income and cash flow, net of debt. Consistent with past practices, the Compensation Committee adjusted actual company results over the performance period to exclude restructuring charges. In addition, the Compensation Committee adjusted actual company results for total cash flow, net of debt, for actions taken in 2012 to mitigate the impact of a potential future devaluation of the Venezuelan currency (which, in fact, subsequently occurred in February 2013). The goals for total cash flow, net of debt, reflected planned capital investments of $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion, anticipated global pension contributions of $550 million to $600 million, and interest expense of $360 million to $385 million. The performance targets for the 2012, 2013 and 2014 performance periods would be achieved at the target performance level if we successfully executed our operating plans for that three-year period.

The value of the units granted for the 2012-2014 awards (assuming payout at $100 per unit) represents approximately 60% of the value of total long-term compensation awarded to the named executive officers in 2012. Included in the 2012-2014 awards were grants of 45,000; 10,593; 11,178; 8,713; and 9,281 units to Messrs. Kramer, Wells, de Bok, Bialosky and Smith, respectively.

See “Performance for the 2012 Performance Period Under the Executive Performance Plan and With Respect to Performance Shares” below for further information on our achievement of the performance targets.

Performance Shares

We provide performance shares to our executive officers in order to more closely align executive compensation to the performance of our Common Stock. We believe that performance shares, like the cash-based Executive

31

Performance Plan, drive operational performance while also driving shareholder value creation, thereby better aligning the interests of our executives with those of our shareholders.

2012 Performance Share Grants

The Compensation Committee granted performance shares under the 2008 Performance Plan in February 2012 that have the following terms:

• performance shares are earned based on results over a three-year period, with performance targets for each year of the three-year period established on the grant date, weighted 50% for the first year, 30% for the second year and 20% for the third year;

• the number of performance shares earned can range from zero to two performance shares per performance share granted for the 2012-2014 awards based on actual results (and assuming the recipient remains continuously employed by us through the entire three-year period);

• the number of performance shares earned can increase or decrease up to 20% (up to a maximum of two performance shares per unit granted) based on our total shareholder return versus the S&P 500 over the three-year period ending December 31, 2014; and

• once vested, performance shares are paid 100% in Common Stock.

The number of performance shares awarded annually to each named executive officer, measured by the percentage of total long-term compensation represented by such shares, is based on a number of considerations, including market data for comparable long-term incentive compensation and the CEO’s recommendations (other than with respect to his own award), which are based on the CEO’s evaluation of the performance of each named executive officer, our recent performance, share availability under our equity compensation plans, internal pay equity, retention considerations, and general economic and competitive conditions.

The performance criteria for the 2012, 2013 and 2014 performance periods for the 2012-2014 awards were based 50% on net income and 50% on total cash flow, net of debt, as described above under “Cash-Based Awards Under the Executive Performance Plan” in order to align management’s efforts to achieve our goals under our long-term incentive compensation plans. The value of the performance shares granted for the 2012-2014 awards represents approximately 10% of the value of total long-term compensation awarded to the named executive officers in 2012. In 2012, target grants of 57,959; 13,643; 14,397; 10,794; and 11,454 performance shares for the 2012-2014 period were made to Messrs. Kramer, Wells, de Bok, Bialosky and Smith, respectively, having the terms described above.

Performance for the 2012 Performance Period Under the Executive Performance Plan and With Respect to Performance Shares

The table below shows the performance goals and corresponding earn out percentages for the 2012 performance period applicable to the third year of the 2010-2012 awards, the second year of the 2011-2013 awards and the first year of the 2012-2014 awards.

	Payout per Executive Performance Plan Unit or Performance Share
	50%		100%		150%(1)		200%(2)
Performance Goals (2012):
Net income		$155 million		$400 million		$525 million		$650 million
Total cash flow, net of debt		$(20) million		$160 million		$270 million		$380 million

(1) Applicable to 2010-2012 and 2011-2013 awards.

(2) Applicable to 2012-2014 awards.

32

The table below shows actual adjusted results with respect to the performance measures during the 2012 performance period.

	Target		Actual Adjusted Results		Performance (% over target)			Payout            Percentage
Performance Results (2012):
Net income	$	400 million	$	479 million		20	%	131%
Total cash flow, net of debt	$	160 million	$	714 million		346	%	150%(1)/200%(2)

(1) Applicable to 2010-2012 and 2011-2013 awards.

(2) Applicable to 2012-2014 awards.

During the 2012 performance period, we faced a number of challenges and took action to meet those challenges, as discussed above under the heading “Overview.” As a result, we exceeded our maximum total cash flow, net of debt targets for the 2012 performance period due to our efforts to manage cash flow during the performance period, particularly with respect to working capital which was a benefit of $457 million in 2012, and exceeded our net income target for the 2012 performance period primarily due to price and product mix improvements, cost saving actions and other strategic initiatives we implemented in response to global economic conditions.

Executive Performance Plan

Based on the results during the 2012 performance period, the Compensation Committee approved earnings on the Executive Performance Plan awards for such period in an amount equal to 141% of the target amount per unit for 2010-2012 and 2011-2013 awards (capped at 150% of target) and 166% of the target amount per unit for 2012-2014 awards (capped at 200% of target). The payout of these amounts is contingent upon the named executive officer’s continued service during the related three-year period, except in the case of certain events, such as retirement, death, disability or severance following a change-in-control.

The table below shows amounts earned for each of the named executive officers in respect of their grants under the Executive Performance Plan for the 2012 performance period with respect to their 2010-2012 awards, which represents one-third of the three-year target award opportunity:

For further information on the tax deductibility of awards under the Executive Performance Plan, see “Tax Deductibility of Pay” at page 38.

Performance Shares

Based on the results during the 2012 performance period, the Compensation Committee approved earnings with respect to performance share awards for such period in an amount equal to 166% of the target number of performance shares.

The table below shows the earnings for each of the named executive officers in respect of their 2012-2014 grants of performance shares for the 2012 performance period, which represents one-half of the three-year target award opportunity:

Smith		5,727		11,454		9,506

(1) Payable contingent on continued service through December 31, 2014 and subject to a three-year relative total shareholder return modifier.

Payout of 2010-2012 Long-Term Awards

The Compensation Committee also approved the distribution of shares of Common Stock for previously earned performance shares and the payout of amounts earned under the Executive Performance Plan to the named executive officers, in each case, with respect to the 2010-2012 awards.

Stock Options

The Compensation Committee annually grants stock options to named executive officers and other key employees to link our executives’ compensation to results earned by shareholders and to build executive stock ownership. Stock options constitute an important element of our long-term incentive compensation program. Because options result in gains only in the event that the stock price appreciates, they serve to align the interests of management with shareholders.

34

2012 Stock Option Grants

Stock options granted under the 2008 Performance Plan in 2012 have the following terms:

• options vest in equal, annual installments over a four-year period;

• options have a ten-year term; and

• the exercise price is equal to the closing market price of our Common Stock on the date of grant.

All options granted to named executive officers during 2012 were non-qualified stock options. The portion of long-term incentive compensation provided in the form of stock option grants each year is determined based on the number of available options under the 2008 Performance Plan, as well as market data on long term-compensation. We use a Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the number of stock options needed to provide the desired value consistent with overall median market compensation.

In 2012, grants of 353,218; 83,147; 87,739; 65,781; and 69,807 stock options were made to Messrs. Kramer, Wells, de Bok, Bialosky and Smith, respectively, having the terms described above. The value of these stock option grants represents approximately 30% of the value of total long-term compensation awarded to the named executive officers in 2012.

Retirement Benefits

We provide our named executive officers with retirement benefits under both tax-qualified and non-qualified retirement plans. The tax-qualified plan benefits are pursuant to a defined benefit pension plan, the Goodyear Salaried Pension Plan (the “Salaried Plan”), and a defined contribution plan, the Goodyear Employee Savings Plan for Salaried Employees (the “Savings Plan”). The non-qualified plan benefits are pursuant to an unfunded defined benefit plan, the Goodyear Supplementary Pension Plan (the “Supplementary Plan”).

The Salaried Plan is designed to provide tax-qualified pension benefits for U.S.-based salaried employees hired prior to January 1, 2005. The Savings Plan is designed to provide an opportunity for U.S.-based salaried employees to save for retirement on a tax-deferred basis. Messrs. Kramer and Wells participate in the Salaried Plan along with other Goodyear employees. Effective December 31, 2008, the Salaried Plan accrued benefit was frozen. Since that date tax-qualified benefit accruals for Messrs. Kramer and Wells and other Goodyear salaried employees who participate in the Salaried Plan are provided by Company contributions under the retirement contributions feature of the Savings Plan. Salaried employees hired after December 31, 2004, including Messrs. Bialosky and Smith, also participate in the retirement contributions feature of the Savings Plan. Participants in the Savings Plan, including all of the named executive officers other than Mr. de Bok, are currently eligible to receive Company matching contributions in addition to the retirement contributions described above.

Mr. de Bok does not participate in the Salaried Plan or the Savings Plan, instead he participates in Goodyear’s Netherlands Pension Plan and in government-sponsored (but Company-funded) pension plans in The Netherlands and Belgium.

The Supplementary Plan provides additional pension benefits to officers and certain other key individuals identified by the Compensation Committee. All of the named executive officers participate in the Supplementary Plan. The Supplementary Plan provides pension benefits to participants who retire with at least 30 years of service, retire after age 55 with at least ten years of service or retire after age 65 with at least five years of service. Benefits payable under the Supplementary Plan are offset by the amount of any benefits payable under the Salaried Plan, the retirement contributions feature of the Savings Plan, applicable non-U.S. pension plans, and certain prior employer pension plans. The Committee believes supplemental executive retirement plans such as the Supplementary Plan are an important part of executive compensation and are utilized by most large companies, many of which compete with the Company for executive talent. Retirement benefits, including those provided through a supplemental executive retirement plan, are a critical component of an executive’s overall compensation program and are

35

essential to attracting, motivating and retaining talented executives with a history of leadership and to providing retirement replacement income. Retirement benefits are an important factor in an executive’s decision to accept or reject a new position.

We also maintain a non-qualified unfunded defined benefit Excess Benefit Plan that pays an additional pension benefit over that paid from the Salaried Plan if a participant does not meet the eligibility requirements of the Supplementary Plan. None of the named executive officers are currently eligible to receive a benefit under the Supplementary Plan because they have not met the age and service requirements discussed in the prior paragraph, and Messrs. de Bok, Bialosky and Smith are not eligible to participate in the defined benefit Excess Benefit Plan. The additional benefit under the defined benefit Excess Benefit Plan is equal to the amount a participant would have received from the Salaried Plan but does not because of the limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), on pension benefits under qualified plans. This plan is provided to allow the extension of benefits from the qualified plan to individuals whose compensation exceeds the Code limitations for qualified plans. Like the qualified plans, effective December 31, 2008 accruals were frozen under the defined benefit Excess Benefit Plan. For employees hired after December 31, 2004, and for all employees as of December 31, 2008, who do not meet the eligibility requirements of the Supplementary Plan, there is a corresponding non-qualified defined contribution Excess Benefit Plan that mirrors the retirement contributions feature of the Savings Plan. Mr. de Bok is not eligible to participate in the defined contribution Excess Benefit Plan.

For more information regarding the terms of these plans and the named executive officers’ accrued benefits under these plans, see “Defined Contribution Plan Benefits” and “Pension Benefits” at page 48.

Severance and Change-in-Control Benefits

In February 2013, we amended our Executive Severance Plan (the “Executive Severance Plan”) to provide for the payment of severance benefits to our officers, including the named executive officers but excluding Mr. de Bok, if their employment is terminated under certain circumstances during certain periods before or within two years following a change-in-control of the Company. The amendment replaced benefits that were previously provided under the Continuity Plan for Salaried Employees. In amending the Executive Severance Plan, we eliminated (a) excise tax gross-up provisions for all officers and (b) the right of any officer to voluntarily terminate their employment following a change-in-control and receive severance benefits other than in the case of Good Reason (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan).

The Executive Severance Plan is designed to attract, retain and motivate employees, provide for stability and continuity in the event of an actual or threatened change-in-control, and ensure that our employees are able to devote their full time and attention to the Company’s operations in the event of an actual or threatened change-in-control.

The Executive Severance Plan and the related change-in-control triggers (commonly referred to as “double triggers”) generally provide for the payment of severance benefits if employment is terminated under certain circumstances during certain periods before or within two years following a change-in-control of the Company. The change-in-control triggers in our 2008 Performance Plan and our proposed 2013 Performance Plan are substantially similar to those in the Executive Severance Plan. We selected the specific change-in-control triggers used in the Executive Severance Plan and the proposed 2013 Performance Plan, such as the acquisition of 20% or more of Goodyear’s Common Stock, a significant change in the composition of the Board of Directors or the acquisition of actual control of Goodyear, based upon our review of market practices, including provisions included in similar agreements of other public companies. Based upon that review, we determined that the terms and conditions of the Executive Severance Plan, including the specific change-in-control triggers were consistent with market practices.

The Executive Severance Plan also continues to provide severance benefits to our officers, including each of the named executive officers (other than Mr. de Bok), if their employment is terminated by us other than for Cause (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan), death or disability, and other than in connection with a change-in-control.

36

The Compensation Committee believes that our severance benefits are in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders, are a necessary component of a competitive compensation program, and are not significantly different from the severance benefits typically in place at other companies.

For additional information regarding the terms of the Executive Severance Plan and benefits payable under that plan, see “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control” at page 51.

Perquisites

We provide certain executive officers, including our named executive officers, with limited personal benefits and perquisites, as described below and in footnote 5 to the Summary Compensation Table at page 41. The Compensation Committee has reviewed and approved the perquisites described below. While the Compensation Committee does not consider these perquisites to be a significant component of executive compensation, it recognizes that such perquisites are an important factor in protecting our executive officers and in enabling them to focus on our business with minimal disruption. We do not provide any tax reimbursements to our executive officers for any of the perquisites we provide them.

Home Security Systems.    We pay for the cost of home security systems for a limited number of executive officers in order to enhance their safety and protect our investment in them. We cover the cost of installation, monitoring and maintenance for these systems.

Use of Company Aircraft.    In limited circumstances, executive officers are permitted to use our company aircraft for personal travel. In these circumstances, the executive is also required to reimburse us for a portion of the cost of such use in an amount determined using the Standard Industry Fare Level.

Tire Program.    We offer our executive officers and Board members the opportunity to receive up to two sets of tires per year at our expense, including the cost of tires, mounting, balancing and disposal fees.

Financial Planning and Tax Preparation Services.    We offer financial assistance to our executive officers to help them cover the cost of financial planning and tax preparation services. In providing this benefit, we seek to alleviate our executives’ concern regarding personal financial planning so that they may devote their full attention to our business. The maximum annual cost to the Company under this program is $9,000 per officer.

Club Memberships.    We pay the annual dues for a corporate club membership that is available to Mr. Kramer. None of the other named executive officers utilize this corporate club membership. The membership is intended to be used primarily for business purposes, although members may use the club for personal purposes so long as they pay all incremental costs, other than the annual dues, related to that personal use.

Annual Physical Exams.    We strongly encourage our executive officers to have an annual comprehensive physical examination which we pay for in order to enhance their physical well-being and protect our investment in them.

Executive Deferred Compensation Plan

The Goodyear Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that provides named executive officers and other highly compensated employees the opportunity to defer various forms of compensation. The plan provides several deferral period options. During 2012, no named executive officers made deferrals under the Deferred Compensation Plan. For participants, this offers an additional means to save for retirement on a tax-deferred basis. There is no guaranteed return associated with any deferred amounts.

For additional information regarding the terms of the deferred compensation plan and participant balances, see “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” at page 51.

37

Other Benefits

Payments to Expatriate Employees.    Where warranted, we provide tax equalization payments, housing allowances, and other similar benefits to employees, including Mr. de Bok, living outside of their home country to compensate them for the additional costs of those assignments.

Tax Deductibility of Pay

Section 162(m) of the Code provides that compensation paid to a public company’s chief executive officer and its three other highest paid executive officers at the end of the year (other than its chief financial officer) in excess of $1 million is not deductible unless certain requirements have been satisfied. The Compensation Committee believes that awards under the Management Incentive Plan and the 2008 Performance Plan qualify for full deductibility under Section 162(m).

Although compensation paid under the Executive Performance Plan is performance-based, it does not qualify for the deductibility exception for performance-based compensation since that Plan has not been approved by our shareholders. Therefore, payments under the Executive Performance Plan are subject to the Section 162(m) limitation on deductibility. Because of our significant U.S. deferred tax assets from prior periods, the limitation on deductibility has no impact on our financial position. In reviewing and considering payouts or earnings under the Executive Performance Plan, the Compensation Committee considered not only the impact of the lost tax deductions, but also the significant U.S. deferred tax assets available to us from prior periods, as well as the benefits realized by us and our shareholders from the successful efforts of our senior management team. In balancing these considerations, the Compensation Committee concluded that it would be appropriate to approve payouts in respect of the 2010-2012 grants and earnings for the 2012 performance period in respect of the 2011-2013 and 2012-2014 grants.

Stockholding Guidelines

To better link the interests of management and our stockholders, the Compensation Committee has established stockholding guidelines for our officers. These guidelines specify a number of shares that our officers are expected to accumulate and hold based on a multiple of annual base salary of two times for elected Vice Presidents, three times for Senior Vice Presidents, Executive Vice Presidents and the Presidents of our operating units, and five times for the CEO. Therefore, the stockholding requirement for Mr. Kramer is five times his annual base salary and for Messrs. Wells, de Bok, Bialosky and Smith is three times their annual base salary. All shares of Common Stock owned outright by officers (or their spouses) and held by them in the Goodyear stock fund of the Savings Plan, and 60% of the shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units and earned (but unvested) performance shares awarded to officers and share equivalent units held in our deferred compensation plan, are counted as ownership in assessing compliance with the guidelines. Unexercised stock options and unearned performance shares are not counted toward compliance with the guidelines. The stock price used in assessing compliance with the guidelines as of May 1st of each year will be the average closing stock price for the prior 60-day period.

The stockholding guidelines also include stock retention provisions. If an officer has met their stockholding requirement, they are required to retain 25% of the net shares received from any exercised options or any vested shares of Common Stock for at least one year from the date of exercise or vesting and may only sell or otherwise dispose of shares to the extent they will still meet their stockholding requirement following that sale or disposition. If an officer has not met their stockholding requirement, they are required to retain all of the net shares received from any exercised options or any vested shares of Common Stock, and may not sell or otherwise dispose of shares, until they have met their stockholding requirement unless they demonstrate a need to sell shares due to a financial hardship. Net shares are the shares remaining after payment of the exercise price and/or withholding taxes.

38

Following the May 1, 2012 assessment, the stockholding requirement for each of our named executive officers increased significantly. Our named executive officers are making progress towards satisfying their stockholding requirement.

Restrictions on Hedging and Pledging

We have adopted, as part of our insider trading policy, prohibitions on the short sale of our Common Stock and other securities and the issuance, purchase or sale of, or trading or dealing in, puts, calls or other options or rights relating to our Common Stock and other securities. These provisions prohibit our directors, officers and employees from hedging the risk of their ownership of our Common Stock. We also prohibit our directors, officers and employees from holding our Common Stock and other securities in a margin account or otherwise pledging them as collateral for a loan.

Recovery of Compensation (Clawback Policy)

If the Compensation Committee determines that an officer has engaged in conduct detrimental to the Company, the Compensation Committee may take a range of actions to remedy this conduct, prevent its recurrence and impose appropriate discipline. Discipline would vary depending on the facts and circumstances, and may include (1) termination of employment, (2) cancelling or reducing any outstanding compensatory grants or awards, (3) initiating an action for breach of fiduciary duty or fraud which could include recovery of any unjustly obtained incentive compensation, and (4) requiring reimbursement of compensation or other payments in accordance with provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our claw-back policy described below or the terms of the relevant compensation plan. These remedies would be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any actions imposed by law enforcement agencies, regulators or other authorities.

Effective for 2012 awards, the Compensation Committee adopted a claw-back policy that effectively contractually extends the claw-back provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that apply to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to the Presidents of each of our strategic business units and all of our Senior Vice Presidents. If we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to our material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement as a result of misconduct, the claw-back policy would permit the Compensation Committee to require reimbursement of (1) any incentive compensation received from us during the one-year period following the publication of misstated financial statements and (2) any profits realized from the sale of our securities during that one-year period. We will make any necessary revisions to our claw-back policy once implementing rules pursuant to Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 are adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission and The NASDAQ Stock Market.

In addition, under our Executive Performance Plan and equity compensation plans, the Compensation Committee may require a plan participant who engages in competition with us within 18 months after their termination of employment to return or forfeit the realized value of all awards under those plans during such period of time that the Compensation Committee determines. Our Executive Severance Plan also provides for the recovery or forfeiture of severance payments if a person receiving payments pursuant to the plan violates certain confidentiality, non-disparagement, non-solicitation and non-competition covenants.

(3) Represents amounts awarded under the annual Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”) and the long-term Executive Performance Plan (“EPP”). For additional information regarding amounts awarded under the MIP in 2012, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Elements of Compensation — Annual Compensation — Annual Cash Incentives Under the Management Incentive Plan” and “— 2012 Annual Incentive Payouts.” Amounts awarded under the EPP are: for 2010, in respect of the three-year performance period ended December 31, 2010 for the 2008-2010 awards and the one-year performance period ended December 31, 2010 for the 2009-2011 awards and the 2010-2012 awards; for 2011, in respect of the one-year performance period ended December 31, 2011 for the 2009-2011 awards, the 2010-2012 awards and the 2011-2013 awards; and, for 2012, in respect of the one-year performance period ended December 31, 2012 for the 2010-2012 awards, the 2011-2013 awards and the 2012-2014 awards. The 2011-2013 awards and the 2012-2014 awards remain subject to the named executive officer’s continued service and a three-year relative total shareholder return modifier. For additional information regarding EPP awards, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Elements of Compensation — Long-Term Compensation — Cash-Based Awards Under the Executive Performance Plan,” “— Performance for the 2012 Performance Period Under the Executive Performance Plan and With Respect to Performance Shares — Executive Performance Plan.”

(4) Represents total change in pension value for each named executive officer, which reflects both the accrual of additional benefits and changes in the assumptions used to value the benefits. The discount rate used to calculate the pension value decreased from 4.50% at December 31, 2011 to 3.50% at December 31, 2012. Also, the interest rate used to determine the lump sum value of the Supplementary Plan benefit decreased from 2.00% to 1.00%. These changes in assumptions accounted for a significant portion of the total increase in pension value for each of the named executive officers. The table below allocates the total change in pension value between the actual increase in accrued benefits, including the growth in pension value due to the passage of time, and assumption changes.

	Increase in Pension Value due to Benefit Accrual		Increase in Pension Value due to Assumption Changes		Total Increase in Pension Value

No nonqualified deferred compensation earnings are required to be reported because the Deferred Compensation Plan does not provide for “above-market” or preferential earnings as defined in applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations.

(5) Includes amounts for home security system monitoring expenses, personal financial planning services, the cost of annual physical exams, and provision of up to two sets of automobile tires per year. Mr. Kramer’s total also includes amounts for the personal use of company aircraft and the annual dues for a club membership. Mr. de Bok’s total also includes amounts for a company car. Mr. Smith’s total also includes amounts for the installation of a home security system. None of the individual perquisites provided to our named executive officers had a value in excess of $25,000. The value of the total perquisites in 2012 was $36,099 for

41

Mr. Kramer, $10,825 for Mr. Wells, $24,858 for Mr. de Bok, $13,760 for Mr. Bialosky and $22,785 for Mr. Smith. Company contributions to qualified defined contribution plans in 2012 were $21,750 for Mr. Kramer, $22,500 for Mr. Wells, $12,500 for Mr. Bialosky and $12,063 for Mr. Smith.

(6) Mr. Kramer was elected Chief Executive Officer and President effective April 13, 2010 and was elected Chairman of the Board effective October 1, 2010.

(7) The amounts in the “Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings” and the “All Other Compensation” columns were converted from euros to U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at December 31, 2010 of €1 = $1.34, December 31, 2011 of €1 = $1.30, and December 31, 2012 of €1 = $1.32. All other amounts were originally determined in U.S. dollars.

Summary of Realized Pay Earned by Our Chief Executive Officer for 2010, 2011 and 2012

Our compensation programs for Mr. Kramer and our other officers are primarily based on performance. The table below is a summary of the pay Mr. Kramer actually realized in 2010, 2011 and 2012. The information shown below is intended to supplement and not be a substitute for the information in the Summary Compensation Table. The information required to be in the Summary Compensation Table combines pay actually received (base salary and annual cash incentive payments) with the accounting value of equity compensation granted, which may never be realized, and earned but unvested long term cash awards, which continue to be subject to forfeiture until the vesting date. The Summary Compensation Table is also required to include other compensation (contributions to qualified defined contribution plans and perquisites) and the change in pension values (based on actuarial assumptions), which is not realized in the periods presented.

The following table reports the base salary, annual incentive earned, long term incentive earned for the performance period ending in each respective year and the pre-tax compensation earned upon the exercise of stock options and the vesting of stock awards regardless of when they were granted. We believe that this table represents the compensation actually realized by Mr. Kramer which is considerably less than that shown in the Summary Compensation Table.

Name	Year		Salary ($)(1)		Annual Incentive ($)(2)		Long Term Incentive Payout ($)(3)		Stock Option Exercises ($)(4)		Equity (PSU) Vesting ($)(5)		Total Realized Pay ($)
Kramer		2012	$	1,033,333	$	2,331,000	$	4,502,319	$	2,347	$	780,458	$	8,649,457
		2011		1,000,000		2,100,000		3,617,400		—		378,778		7,096,178
		2010		929,924		1,716,300		1,200,000		—		191,721		4,037,945

(1) Mr. Kramer’s salary was targeted below market median (72-81% of market median) for 2010, 2011 and 2012. Mr. Kramer received base salary increases in 2010 and 2012 to move his pay closer to market median.

(2) Mr. Kramer’s individual targets were set at 120% of base salary for 2010, 140% for 2011 and 150% for 2012. The Compensation Committee set goals based on Corporate EBIT, operating cash flow and operating drivers in each of the three years. The Committee assessed overall company performance at 150% of target in 2010 and 2011 and at 148% of target in 2012. Mr. Kramer’s actual awards were consistent with these assessments.

(3) Sixty percent of Mr. Kramer’s long term incentive target is delivered as EPP awards which are paid in cash at the end of each three-year award period to the extent the Company meets or exceeds net income and total cash flow, net of debt objectives. This column shows the payout of each of the award cycles completed in the respective year. The 2008-2010 awards were earned at target, the 2009-2011 awards were earned at 150% of target and the 2010-2012 awards were earned at 147% of target.

(4) In 2012, Mr. Kramer exercised 2,861 stock options and realized $2,347 as shown in the Option Exercises and Stock Vested Table on page 47. At December 31, 2012, Mr. Kramer’s vested, exercisable, in-the-money stock options had a potential value of $1,231,156, based on the difference between the closing market price of our Common Stock on December 31, 2012 ($13.81) and the exercise price of such stock options.

42

(5) Ten percent of Mr. Kramer’s long term incentive target is delivered as performance share awards which were paid 50% in cash and 50% in shares for the 2008-2010 awards and 100% in shares for the 2009-2011 and 2010-2012 awards. The shares are earned to the extent the Company meets or exceeds the same net income and total cash flow, net of debt objectives as those set for the first year of each three-year EPP award period, but do not vest until the end of the three-year period. All three awards were earned at 150% of target and paid at the end of each three-year period.

(3) Grants of stock option awards (with tandem stock appreciation rights for Mr. de Bok) under the 2008 Performance Plan. Each unexercised stock option terminates automatically if the optionee ceases to be an employee of Goodyear or one of its subsidiaries for any reason, except that (a) upon retirement or disability of the optionee more than six months after the grant date, the stock option will become immediately exercisable and remain exercisable until the earlier of five years or its expiration date, (b) in the event of the death of the optionee more than six months after the grant date, each stock option will become immediately exercisable and remain exercisable until the earlier of three years after the date of death of the optionee or its expiration date, and (c) in the event of the termination of the optionee’s employment other than for cause, each vested stock option will remain exercisable for 90 days following the date of termination of their employment. For additional information regarding such grants, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Elements of Compensation — Long-Term Compensation — Stock Options” and “— 2012 Stock Option Grants.”

(4) The exercise price of each stock option is equal to 100% of the per share fair market value of the Common Stock on the date granted (for grants under the 2008 Performance Plan, calculated as the closing market price for such date). The option exercise price and/or withholding tax obligations may be paid by delivery of shares of Common Stock valued at the fair market value on the date of exercise.

* Represents the grant of a reinvestment option. Each stock option granted prior to 2008 included a right to the automatic grant of a new option, which we refer to as a “reinvestment option,” for the number of shares tendered upon the exercise of the original stock option and withheld to pay income taxes. No reinvestment option grants were made to the named executive officers during 2012.

(1) Because the options in this column were fully vested as of December 31, 2012, the vesting schedules for such options are not reported.

(2) The exercise price of each option granted under our prior equity compensation plans is equal to 100% of the per share fair market value of the Common Stock on the date granted (calculated as the average of the high and low stock price for such date). The option exercise price and/or withholding tax obligations may be paid by delivery of shares of Common Stock valued at the fair market value on the date of exercise.

(3) The exercise price of each option granted under the 2008 Performance Plan is equal to 100% of the per share fair market value of the Common Stock on the date granted (calculated as the closing market price for such date). The option exercise price and/or withholding tax obligations may be paid by delivery of shares of Common Stock valued at the fair market value on the date of exercise.

(4) Calculated by multiplying $13.81, the closing market price of our Common Stock on December 31, 2012, by the number of shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units or performance share units that had not vested at December 31, 2012.

(5) Vests in full on February 26, 2013.

(6) Vests in full on August 4, 2013.

(7) Vests as to one-half of the options on each of February 23, 2013 and February 23, 2014.

(8) Vests as to one-third of the options on each of February 22, 2013, February 22, 2014 and February 22, 2015.

(9) Vests as to one-fourth of the options on each of February 27, 2013, February 27, 2014, February 27, 2015 and February 27, 2016.

(10) Vests in full on September 23, 2013.

(11) Vests as to one-third of the options on each of October 24, 2013, October 24, 2014 and October 24, 2015.

(12) Except for 103,492 restricted shares (which Mr. Kramer will receive when the value of the shares is deductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes), 65,779 earned performance share units vest on

46

December 31, 2013, and 48,105 earned performance share units vest on December 31, 2014 (each subject to a three-year relative total shareholder return modifier).

During the restriction period for shares of restricted stock, the recipient is not entitled to delivery of the shares, restrictions are placed on the transferability of the shares, and all or a portion of the shares will be forfeited if the recipient terminates employment for reasons other than as approved by the Compensation Committee. Upon expiration of the restriction period, the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock will be delivered to the grantee free of all restrictions. During the restriction period for shares of restricted stock, the grantee shall be entitled to vote restricted shares and, unless the Compensation Committee otherwise provides, to receive dividends, if any. Restricted stock units do not have any voting rights and, unless the Compensation Committee otherwise provides, are entitled to receive dividends, if any. Earned and unearned, but unvested, performance share units do not have any voting rights and are not entitled to receive dividend equivalents. For additional information regarding the terms of the performance share units, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Elements of Compensation — Long-Term Compensation — Performance Shares — 2012 Performance Share Grants.”

Defined Contribution Plan Benefits

The Savings Plan is a tax-qualified defined contribution plan that permits eligible employees, including all of the named executive officers (other than Mr. de Bok), to contribute 1% to 50% of their compensation to their Savings Plan account, subject to an annual contribution ceiling ($17,000 in 2012). Savings Plan participants who are age 50 or older and contributing at the maximum plan limits or at the annual contribution ceiling are entitled to make “catch-up” contributions annually up to a specified amount ($5,500 in 2012). Participants in the Savings Plan are eligible to receive Company matching contributions in addition to the retirement contributions described below under “Pension Benefits.” Savings Plan participants are also eligible to make after-tax contributions subject to limits imposed by the Code. Contributions are invested, at the direction of the participant, in any one or more of the fifteen available funds and/or in mutual funds under a self-directed account.

Pension Benefits

Goodyear’s Salaried Pension Plan is a defined benefit plan qualified under the Code in which U.S.-based salaried employees hired before January 1, 2005 participate, including Messrs. Kramer and Wells. Accruals in the Salaried Plan were frozen effective December 31, 2008. The Salaried Plan was designed to provide tax-qualified pension benefits for most Goodyear salaried employees. The Salaried Plan contains formulas based on age and service. These formulas are multiplied by five-year average compensation below and above a breakpoint ($51,000 in 2008, the year the Salaried Plan was frozen), with the result representing a lump sum benefit under the plan. Compensation is held to the qualified plan limit under the Code, which was $230,000 for 2008. A portion of the benefit may be paid by employee contributions. Effective December 31, 2007, all active participants in the Salaried Plan became vested and are entitled to a benefit upon any termination of employment. Benefits are available on a five-year certain and continuous annuity basis at age 65, by converting the lump sum to an annuity. Annuity benefits payable to a participant who retires prior to age 65 are subject to a reduction for each month retirement precedes age 65. Benefits under the Salaried Plan are funded by an irrevocable tax-exempt trust.

Participation in the Salaried Plan was frozen effective December 31, 2004. Subsequent hires, including Messrs. Bialosky and Smith, participate in the retirement contributions feature of the Savings Plan. Under the Savings Plan, each participant receives an allocation each pay period equal to a percentage of compensation, with compensation held to the qualified plan limit under the Code. Effective January 1, 2009, Salaried Plan participants, including Messrs. Kramer and Wells, also began receiving allocations under the retirement contributions feature of the Savings Plan.

Non-U.S.-based employees, such as Mr. de Bok, participate in neither the Salaried Plan nor the Savings Plan; instead Mr. de Bok participates in Goodyear’s Netherlands Pension Plan and in government-sponsored (but Company-funded) pension plans in The Netherlands and Belgium.

Goodyear also maintains the Supplementary Plan, a non-qualified, unfunded plan which provides additional retirement benefits to our officers and certain other key employees, including all of the named executive officers. The Supplementary Plan provides pension benefits to participants who retire with at least 30 years of service, retire after age 55 with at least ten years of service or retire after age 65 with at least five years of service. The formula for an annuity benefit is based on a percentage determined using credited service (22% with 10 years, 38% with 20 years, 48% with 30 years and 54% with 40 years) times five-year average compensation above the breakpoint ($55,050 in 2012), with compensation inclusive of base salary and annual incentive payments. The five-year

48

average compensation uses the highest five calendar years, not necessarily consecutive, out of the last ten years. Benefits are offset for the Salaried Plan, the retirement contributions feature of the Savings Plan, applicable non-U.S. benefits and certain prior employer benefits. Under the Supplementary Plan, benefits payable to a participant who retires prior to age 62 are subject to a reduction of 0.4% for each month retirement precedes age 62. Participants may elect a lump sum payment of benefits under the Supplementary Plan for benefits accrued and vested prior to January 1, 2005, subject to the approval of Goodyear’s ERISA Appeals Committee. For benefits accrued or vested on or after January 1, 2005, payment will be made in a lump sum. Benefits vested on or after January 1, 2005 cannot be distributed prior to six months after separation of service. The Supplementary Plan benefits for all named executive officers are not yet vested.

We also maintain a non-qualified unfunded defined benefit Excess Benefit Plan that pays an additional pension benefit over that paid from the Salaried Plan if a participant does not meet the eligibility requirements of the Supplementary Plan. The additional benefit is equal to the amount a participant would have received from the Salaried Plan but does not because of the limitations imposed by the Code on pension benefits under qualified plans. This plan is provided to allow the extension of benefits from the qualified plan to individuals whose income exceeds the Code guidelines for qualified plans. Distribution of amounts earned and vested prior to January 1, 2005, will be paid out in the same manner as the Salaried Plan unless otherwise elected by the participant at least 12 months prior to termination or severance. Distributions for amounts earned or vested on or after January 1, 2005, will be paid out in a lump sum. For participants considered to be among the top 50 wage earners of the Company, benefits vested on or after January 1, 2005 are paid out six months after termination of service. For employees hired after December 31, 2004, and for all employees as of December 31, 2008, there is a corresponding defined contribution Excess Benefit Plan that mirrors the retirement contributions feature of the Savings Plan. Like the qualified plans, effective December 31, 2008 accruals were frozen under the defined benefit Excess Benefit Plan and all affected participants began receiving defined contribution allocations under the defined contribution Excess Benefit Plan.

The Pension Benefits table below shows for the named executive officers the number of years of credited service, present value of accumulated benefit and payments during the last fiscal year, for each defined benefit plan.

The “Present Value of Accumulated Benefit” is the lump-sum value as of December 31, 2012 of the expected pension benefit payable at age 62 that was earned as of December 31, 2012. That is, the benefit reflects service and compensation only through 2012, not projected for future years. The benefit payment at age 62 is assumed to be the lump sum form. The present value is measured using the same assumptions used for financial reporting purposes (and which are set forth following the Pension Benefits Table), with the exception of the commencement age. The commencement age is assumed to be 62 because that is the age at which the Supplementary Plan benefit is payable with no reduction for early retirement.

Generally, a participant’s years of credited service under the Supplementary Plan are based on the years an employee participates in the Salaried Plan. However, in certain cases, credit for service prior to participation in the Salaried Plan is granted. Such cases include service with a predecessor employer. Mr. Kramer received 13.6 additional years of credited service in connection with his hiring by Goodyear in respect of service with a prior employer. The benefits paid to Mr. Kramer under the Supplementary Plan will be reduced by amounts he is entitled to receive under the pension plan maintained by his prior employer. Due to this service grant, the present value of accumulated benefit in the Pension Benefits table is $3,724,091 higher for Mr. Kramer. Messrs. Wells, de Bok, Bialosky and Smith did not receive any additional years of credited service.

Mr. Kramer is eligible for immediate commencement of the benefit from the Salaried Plan as of December 31, 2012, and will be eligible to receive a benefit from the Supplementary Plan if he remains employed by us until 2016. Mr. Wells is eligible for immediate commencement of the benefit from the Salaried Plan as of December 31, 2012, and will be eligible to receive a benefit from the Supplementary Plan if he remains employed by us until 2020. Messrs. de Bok, Bialosky and Smith will be eligible to receive a benefit from the Supplementary Plan if they remain employed by us until 2017, 2019 and 2021, respectively.

49

For Mr. de Bok, the Pension Benefits table shows the benefits payable under the Supplementary Plan and Goodyear’s Netherlands Pension Plan. The Netherlands Pension Plan provides an annuity benefit based on career average earnings. This benefit is an offset to the Supplementary Plan benefit. The present value of the Netherlands Pension Plan benefit is determined based on the assumptions used for financial reporting of the Netherlands Pension Plan as of December 31, 2012 (and which are set forth following the Pension Benefits Table), with the exception that the commencement age is taken to be 62. The Supplementary Plan value is based on the U.S. financial reporting assumptions, as discussed above. Mr. de Bok is currently vested in his benefit from the Netherlands Pension Plan but is not yet eligible to commence the benefit. In addition to the offset for the Netherlands Pension Plan, the Supplementary Plan present value also will be offset for the value of Company contributions to the governmental plans in Belgium and The Netherlands.

Name	Plan Name	Number of Years Credited Service (#)		Present Value of Accumulated Benefit ($)(1)		Payments During Last Fiscal Year ($)
Kramer	Supplementary Pension Plan		26.42	$	9,033,271	$	—
	Salaried Pension Plan		8.83		253,085		—
Wells	Supplementary Pension Plan		10.42		1,833,210		—

Bialosky	Supplementary Pension Plan		3.25		837,969		—
Smith	Supplementary Pension Plan		1.17		181,964		—

(1) All amounts shown are estimates as of December 31, 2012; the actual benefits to be paid to the named executive officers will be based on their credited service, compensation, and other factors at the time of their retirement.

(2) The amounts for Mr. de Bok were converted from euros to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at December 31, 2012 of €1 = $1.32.

The amounts set forth in the table above are based on the following assumptions:

• the measurement date is December 31, 2012

• the form of payment is a lump sum (annuity for Mr. de Bok’s Netherlands pension)

• the interest rate used to calculate the Supplementary Plan lump sum payment:

• Benefits commencing in 2013 or later: 1.00%

• the interest rate used to calculate the Salaried Plan lump sum payment:

• Benefits commencing in 2013 or later: 3.50% (Messrs. Kramer and Wells)

• the mortality assumptions used to calculate the lump sum are those set forth in Revenue Ruling 2007-67, as updated by IRS Notice 2008-85 for the Salaried Plan, and those set forth in UP-1984 Mortality for the Supplementary Plan (a modified version of the Prognosetafel 2010-2060 mortality table is used to determine the present value of Mr. de Bok’s Netherlands pension)

• the discount rate used to determine the present value of the accumulated benefit is 3.50% (also 3.50% for Mr. de Bok’s Netherlands pension)

• the benefit commencement age is 62 (or, if older, age at the measurement date)

• the accumulated benefit is calculated based on credited service and pay as of December 31, 2012 (for the Salaried Plan, credited service and pay as of December 31, 2008).

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

The Goodyear Executive Deferred Compensation Plan is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that provides named executive officers and certain other highly compensated employees the opportunity to defer their base salary and annual incentive payments. Deferred amounts may be invested in one of five investment alternatives or, with respect to annual incentive payments, Goodyear stock units. Four of these investment alternatives are funds managed by The Northern Trust Company, and currently include a money market fund, a bond fund, an equity index fund and a balanced fund. The average interest rate payable with respect to funds invested in the Northern Trust money market fund was 0.01% for the year ended December 31, 2012. The fifth investment vehicle is a growth fund managed by American Century Investments. Investment elections among the five investment alternatives may be changed daily. Deferrals of annual incentive payments into Goodyear stock units will result in a 20% premium paid in stock units that will vest in one year. There is no guaranteed return associated with any deferred amounts. Distribution of deferred amounts may begin after separation of service or in a selected number of years ranging from one to 20. Payment of deferred amounts will be in a lump sum or up to 15 annual installments, as elected at the time of deferral. Redeferral is allowed only if elected one year prior to the scheduled payout and the new deferral does not commence for at least five years after the originally scheduled date of distribution. Any stock units are converted to shares of Common Stock and distributed to the participant in January of the fourth year following the end of the plan year under which the award was earned.

The Deferred Compensation Plan is unfunded. The following table sets forth certain information regarding nonqualified deferred compensation of the named executive officers.

Name	Executive Contributions in Last FY ($)(1)		Registrant Contributions in Last FY ($)		Aggregate Earnings in Last FY ($)(2)		Aggregate Withdrawals/ Distributions ($)		Aggregate Balance at Last FYE ($)
Kramer		—		—	$	7,031		—	$	125,711
Wells		—		—		—		—		—
de Bok		—		—		—		—		—
Bialosky		—		—		—		—		—
Smith		—		—		—		—		—

(1) Represents deferral in 2012 of base salary and/or annual incentive payments in respect of performance in 2011.

(2) No portion of these earnings were included in the Summary Compensation Table because the Deferred Compensation Plan does not provide for “above-market” or preferential earnings as defined in applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control

We provide for the payment of severance and certain other benefits to our named executive officers upon certain types of terminations of employment, as described below.

Executive Severance Plan

On February 28, 2013, we amended and restated the Executive Severance Plan to replace benefits that were previously provided under the Continuity Plan for Salaried Employees. In amending the Executive Severance Plan, the Company eliminated (1) excise tax gross-up provisions for all officers and (2) the right of any officer to voluntarily terminate their employment following a change-in-control and receive severance benefits other than in the case of Good Reason (as such term is defined below).

The Executive Severance Plan provides severance benefits to the Company’s officers, including its named executive officers (other than Mr. de Bok), as follows:

(1) If a participant’s employment is terminated by the Company and its affiliates other than for Cause (as such term is defined below), death or disability (and other than in connection with a change-in-control, as

51

described in paragraph (2) below), such participant will generally receive: (i) earned but unpaid base salary and annual incentive compensation and accrued paid vacation, sick leave, sabbatical, holiday and other paid time off; (ii) a pro-rated annual incentive payment based on actual performance for the entire fiscal year in an amount not to exceed the participant’s target annual incentive; (iii) a cash severance payment equal to the sum of the participant’s base salary and target annual incentive at the time of severance multiplied by the participant’s severance multiple, which is established by the Compensation Committee and currently ranges from 1.0x to 2.0x; (iv) if the sum of the participant’s age plus years of credited service is equal to or greater than 75, vesting of the participant’s benefit under the Supplementary Plan; (v) continued health care coverage for a number of years equal to the participant’s severance multiple; and (vi) outplacement services in an amount not to exceed $25,000. Mr. Kramer’s severance multiple is 2.0x and Mr. Wells’, Mr. Bialosky’s and Mr. Smith’s severance multiple is 1.5x.

(2) If a participant’s employment is terminated involuntarily other than for Cause, death, disability or mandatory retirement or by the participant for Good Reason during the pendency of, and for ninety days following the cessation of, a Potential Change in Control (as such term is defined below) or within two years following a Change in Control (as such term is defined below), such participant will generally receive: (i) earned but unpaid base salary and annual incentive compensation and accrued paid vacation, sick leave, sabbatical, holiday and other paid time off; (ii) a pro-rated annual incentive payment based on the participant’s target annual incentive; (iii) a cash severance payment equal to twice the sum of the participant’s base salary and target annual incentive; (iv) if the participant has at least five years of service, vesting of the participant’s Supplementary Plan benefit; (v) continued health care coverage for up to two years; and (vi) outplacement services in an amount not to exceed $25,000 and reimbursement for certain legal fees incurred in connection with certain claims made under the Executive Severance Plan.

To be eligible to receive the benefits described above, the participant must execute a release and agree, among other things, to certain confidentiality, non-disparagement, non-solicitation and non-competition covenants.

The Executive Severance Plan became effective on February 28, 2013 and will continue in effect for three years, and thereafter will automatically renew for additional one-year periods unless the Company provides notice, at least 90 days prior to the end of the initial or extended term, of its intent not to renew the Executive Severance Plan.

As used in the Executive Severance Plan:

“Cause” means (1) the continued failure by an eligible employee to substantially perform the employee’s duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from the employee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness), (2) the engaging by the employee in conduct which is demonstrably injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise, (3) the employee committing any felony or any crime involving fraud, breach of trust or misappropriation or (4) any breach or violation of any agreement relating to the employee’s employment with the Company where the Company, in its discretion, determines that such breach or violation materially and adversely affects the Company.

A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if the event set forth in any one of the following paragraphs shall have occurred:

(1) any person is or becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such person any securities acquired directly from the Company other than securities acquired by virtue of the exercise of a conversion or similar privilege or right unless the security being so converted or pursuant to which such right was exercised was itself acquired directly from the Company) representing 20% or more of (A) the then outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company or (B) the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; or

(2) the following individuals cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the number of directors then serving on the Board of Directors (the “Incumbent Board”): individuals who, on February 28, 2013,

52

constitute the Board of Directors and any new director (other than a director whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest, including, without limitation, a consent solicitation, relating to the election of directors of the Company) whose appointment or election by the Board of Directors or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders was approved or recommended by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors on February 28, 2013 or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so approved or recommended; or

(3) there is consummated a merger or consolidation of the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation pursuant to which (A) the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation will continue to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock, and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the Company or such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, (B) no person will become the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company or such surviving entity or any parent thereof representing 20% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock or the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to such merger or consolidation) and (C) individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board will constitute at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation (or any parent thereof) resulting from such merger or consolidation; or

(4) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or there is consummated an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, other than a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an entity, (A) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock, and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of which (or of any parent of such entity) is owned by shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale, (B) in which (or in any parent of such entity) no person is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock resulting from such sale or disposition or the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to such sale or disposition) and (C) in which (or in any parent of such entity) individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board will constitute at least a majority of the members of the board of directors.

“Good Reason” means the occurrence during the pendency of, and for ninety days following the cessation of, a Potential Change in Control or within two years following a Change in Control, without the affected eligible employee’s written consent, of any of the following:

(1) the assignment to the employee of duties that are materially inconsistent with the employee’s authority, duties or responsibilities immediately prior to a Potential Change in Control or, in the absence thereof, a Change in Control (other than pursuant to a transfer or promotion to a position of equal or enhanced responsibility or authority) or any other action by the Company which results in a material diminution in such authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the employee, provided, however, that any such material diminution that is primarily a result of the Company no longer being a publicly traded entity or becoming a subsidiary or division of another entity shall not be deemed “Good Reason” for purposes of the Executive Severance Plan, except that an employee shall have Good Reason if the Company is no longer a publicly traded entity and, immediately before the Change in Control that caused the Company no longer to be a publicly traded entity, substantially all of the employee’s duties and responsibilities related to public investors or government agencies that regulate publicly traded entities;

53

(2) a change in the location of such employee’s principal place of business by more than 50 miles when compared to the employee’s principal place of business immediately before a Potential Change in Control or, in the absence thereof, a Change in Control;

(3) a material reduction in the Employee’s annual base salary or target annual incentive opportunity from that in effect immediately before a Potential Change in Control or, in the absence thereof, a Change in Control; and

(4) the failure by any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, to expressly assume and agree to perform the Executive Severance Plan in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no succession had taken place.

A “Potential Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if the event set forth in any one of the following paragraphs shall have occurred:

(1) the Company enters into an agreement, the consummation of which would result in the occurrence of a Change in Control;

(2) the Company or any person publicly announces an intention to take or to consider taking actions which, if consummated, would constitute a Change in Control;

(3) any person becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such person any securities acquired directly from the Company other than securities acquired by virtue of the exercise of a conversion or similar privilege or right unless the security being so converted or pursuant to which such right was exercised was itself acquired directly from the Company) representing 20% or more of either the then outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; or

(4) the Board adopts a resolution to the effect that a Potential Change in Control has occurred.

The description above is meant only to be a summary of the provisions of the Executive Severance Plan. The Executive Severance Plan was an exhibit to a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 6, 2013.

Quantification of Termination Benefits

The tables below show amounts that would be payable to each of the named executive officers, as of December 31, 2012, upon the termination of their employment in the circumstances indicated in each column of the tables. The amounts shown are calculated on the assumption that the triggering event occurred on December 31, 2012. Other assumptions used to determine such amounts are described below.

Management Incentive Plan.    The amounts shown in the tables for annual cash incentive under the Management Incentive Plan are the amounts earned under Management Incentive Plan awards for the year ended December 31, 2012. Such amounts are payable at the normal time that payouts are made for 2012 awards under the Management Incentive Plan. The “Termination for Cause” scenario assumes no payout because the plan gives the Compensation Committee discretion to eliminate or reduce performance awards prior to payment.

Severance Payments.    The amounts shown in the columns captioned “Termination Without Cause” and “Involuntary Termination Within Two Years of Change in Control” are calculated in accordance with the terms of the Executive Severance Plan (other than for Mr. de Bok, who is not a participant in the Executive Severance Plan). (See “Executive Severance Plan” above.)

Performance Shares.    The amounts shown in the tables for outstanding performance share awards are attributable solely to equity (calculated based on a per share price of $13.81, the closing market price of our Common Stock on December 31, 2012). In the event of termination for cause, it is assumed the Compensation Committee would exercise its discretion to cancel any outstanding awards.

54

Executive Performance Plan.    The amounts shown in the tables for cash payouts under the Executive Performance Plan are the amounts earned and payable under the 2010-2012 Executive Performance Plan awards and, in addition, the amounts shown in the column captioned “Involuntary Termination Within Two Years of Change in Control” include the amounts earned, but not yet payable, under the 2011-2013 and 2012-2014 Executive Performance Plan awards. Under the Executive Performance Plan, an employee whose employment is terminated due to the employee’s death, disability, retirement, layoff or leave of absence is entitled to a prorated payout for any uncompleted performance periods. Amounts are payable at the normal time that payouts are made for outstanding grants under the Executive Performance Plan. The “Termination for Cause” scenario assumes no payout because the Executive Performance Plan gives the Compensation Committee discretion to eliminate or reduce performance awards prior to payment.

Stock Options.    Our equity compensation plans provide that unexercised stock options terminate automatically if the optionee ceases to be an employee of Goodyear or one of its subsidiaries for any reason, except that (a) upon retirement or disability of the optionee more than six months after the grant date, the stock option will become immediately exercisable and remain exercisable until the earlier of five years or its expiration date, (b) in the event of the death of the optionee more than six months after the grant date, each stock option will become immediately exercisable and remain exercisable until the earlier of three years after the date of death of the optionee or its expiration date, and (c) for options granted on or after June 8, 2010, in the event of the termination of the optionee’s employment other than for cause, each vested stock option will remain exercisable for 90 days following the date of termination of their employment. For these purposes, resignations, terminations without cause, and involuntary terminations upon a change in control are treated like a retirement if the employee is eligible for retirement as of the date of termination. However, none of our named executive officers were eligible for retirement on December 31, 2012. In the event of a termination for cause, it is assumed that the Compensation Committee would exercise its discretion to cancel any outstanding unvested stock options.

Retirement Benefits.    The tables below show the additional retirement benefits that would be payable to the named executive officer if the named executive officer’s employment was terminated on December 31, 2012, and that named executive officer was vested in the benefit as of that date. Mr. Kramer and Mr. Wells are not yet vested in a Supplementary Plan benefit and would instead receive benefits from the defined benefit and defined contribution Excess Benefit Plans. Mr. Bialosky and Mr. Smith are not yet vested in a Supplementary Plan benefit, are not eligible to participate in the defined benefit Excess Benefit Plan or the Salaried Plan, and would instead receive benefits from the defined contribution Excess Benefit Plan. The Supplementary Plan amounts shown in the Pension Benefits Table are the present values at December 31, 2012 of benefits that would be payable in lump sum form at age 62 (or age at December 31, 2012, if older than 62). The amounts, if any, shown in the tables below for the Supplementary Plan and the Excess Benefit Plans are the additional amounts that would be payable, together with the amounts shown in the Pension Benefits Table, in lump sum form six months after termination of employment at December 31, 2012. The Salaried Plan values shown in the Pension Benefits Table are the present values at December 31, 2012 of benefits that would be payable in lump sum form at age 62 (or age at December 31, 2012, if older than 62). The amounts, if any, shown in the tables below for Mr. Kramer and Mr. Wells under the Salaried Plan are the additional amounts that would be payable immediately, together with the amounts shown in the Pension Benefits Table, in lump sum form after termination of employment at December 31, 2012. Mr. de Bok is not yet vested in a Supplementary Plan benefit and is not eligible to participate in the Excess Benefit Plans or the Salaried Plan. For Mr. de Bok, the Pension Benefits Table shows the present value of the accrued benefit under the Netherlands Pension Plan. The same value would be provided from the Netherlands Pension Plan after termination of employment at December 31, 2012.

Other Benefits.    The amounts shown for other benefits for each scenario include the payment of accrued vacation. In addition, the amounts shown in the column captioned “Termination Without Cause” include reimbursement of COBRA payments and payments for outplacement services (capped at $25,000), and the amounts shown in the column captioned “Involuntary Termination Within Two Years of Change in Control” include reimbursement of COBRA payments, payments for outplacement services (capped at $25,000), and reimbursement for legal fees, if any (assumed to be $0 for purposes of the tables below).

  * These amounts are included in the Summary Compensation Table under the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column.

(1) In the event of death or disability, an additional $9,020,150 would be paid under “Cash Payout — Executive Performance Plan Awards” and “Equity — Performance Shares,” if at all, only upon achievement of the applicable targets following the completion of the applicable performance periods, and $791,323 would be paid under “Equity — Stock Options.”

(2) Mr. Kramer is not eligible for retirement.

(3) The amounts to be paid under “Equity” that represent grants under our 2008 Performance Plan are payable following an involuntary termination within two years of a change in control, similar to the Executive Severance Plan.

(4) The Pension Benefits Table (on page 50) shows the present value of the accumulated benefit under the Salaried Plan and the Supplementary Plan, calculated based on the assumptions set forth following that table. Mr. Kramer is fully vested in his Salaried Plan benefit and would have received a payment of $199,226 if a triggering event had occurred on December 31, 2012. The difference between the amount payable from the Salaried Plan upon any of the triggering events and the value presented in the Pension Benefits Table, $253,085, is solely due to differences in the assumptions used in the calculations. Mr. Kramer is not yet vested in a Supplementary Plan benefit. Mr. Kramer is 49.2 years old with 26.42 years of credited service. In the event of a Termination Without Cause, Mr. Kramer’s benefit under the Supplementary Plan will become vested because the sum of his age and years of service equals or exceeds 75. In the event of an Involuntary Termination Within Two Years of a Change in Control, Mr. Kramer’s benefit under the Supplementary Plan will become vested since he has five years of credited service. If these events were to occur, Mr. Kramer’s Supplementary Plan benefit would be $8,319,723. The difference between the amount payable from the Supplementary Plan upon a triggering event and the value presented in the Pension Benefits Table, $9,033,271, is solely due to differences in the assumptions used in the calculations.

(5) No additional amounts are payable upon any of the triggering events under our deferred compensation plans. For information on Mr. Kramer’s aggregate vested balance as of December 31, 2012 under the Deferred Compensation Plan, see the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table at page 51.
