Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On September 15, 2009, the Board of Directors of Goodrich Corporation
("Goodrich") adopted the Goodrich Corporation Voluntary Separation Plan (the
"Plan"), which is designed to give the Company flexibility in offering a
voluntary severance program on an as-needed basis. Under the Plan, the Company
or one of its business units may offer a voluntary severance program based on
objective business-related reasons to employees who meet pre-established
eligibility criteria during a defined window period. If the Company offered a
voluntary severance program under the Plan, it is possible that one or more of
the named executive officers would be eligible employees. In such case, and if
the named executive officer chooses to participate in the program and such
election is accepted by the Company, the electing named executive officer would
be entitled to a cash payment based on (i) the employee's number of years of
continuous service with the Company and (ii) the employee's weekly base pay;
however, the cash payment would not be less than 4 weeks' and not more than
52 weeks' base pay. In addition, the Plan provides that all participating
employees, including the named executive officers, would be entitled to six
months of COBRA continuation coverage at active employee rates and the right to
continue company-paid life insurance for a period of six months. The description
of the Plan set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Plan filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
