DEAKIN SCOTT M 4

What Happened

• Scott M. Deakin, Interim EVP & CFO of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. (GT), received an award of 77,399 restricted stock units (RSUs) on July 1, 2026. The Form 4 reports the acquisition as a derivative award at $0.00 per unit (award/grant), with no cash paid at grant.
• These RSUs will vest and convert into shares of Goodyear common stock on August 10, 2027 per the footnote referencing the 2022 Performance Plan. This is a compensation grant (not an open-market purchase or a sale).

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-07-01; Filing date: 2026-07-06.
• Transaction type/code: Award/Grant (A); 77,399 RSUs; price shown $0.00 (derivative award).
• Vesting/conversion: RSUs convert to common shares on August 10, 2027 (per plan footnote).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing details.
• Filing timing: the Form 4 was filed five calendar days after the grant (Form 4s are typically due within two business days), so the filing occurred several days after the reported transaction date.

Context

• RSUs are a form of equity compensation that convert into shares upon vesting; they do not represent an immediate cash purchase or sale and are generally part of executive pay. Such awards are routine for senior executives and do not, by themselves, indicate a buy or sell signal.
• For retail investors, purchases can be more directly interpreted as insider buying interest; grants/awards mainly reflect compensation and retention practices.
