On June 2, 2025, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (the "Company") approved a proposed plan to close our manufacturing facility in Kariega, South Africa in the Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") business unit. The proposed plan includes approximately 900 job reductions, including associates and contracted positions, and is expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2025. The total charges associated with this action are expected to be between $100 million and $110 million, of which $45 million to $55 million are expected to be cash charges primarily for associate-related and other exit costs and the remaining costs are expected to be non-cash charges primarily for accelerated depreciation and other asset-related charges. The Company expects to record approximately $40 million of charges in the second quarter of 2025 and approximately $60 million of charges during the remainder of 2025. The majority of the cash outflows associated with this plan will occur by the end of 2025. These actions are expected to improve EMEA's segment operating income by approximately $10 million in 2026 and annually thereafter. The proposed rationalization plan remains subject to consultation with employee representative bodies.

#### Safe Harbor Statement
Certain information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K may constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including those statements regarding the expected amounts of charges and savings resulting from the plan. All forward-looking statements are based on management's estimates, projections and assumptions as of the date hereof. There are a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control, which could affect its operations, performance, business strategy and results and could cause its actual results and experience to differ materially from the assumptions, expectations and objectives expressed in any forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements, including but not limited to the risks and other factors described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. In addition, any forward-looking statements represent management's estimates only as of today and should not be relied upon as representing management's estimates as of any subsequent date. While the Company may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, even if management's estimates change.
