GENERAL INFORMATION

The accompanying proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of Goodrich Corporation. Our Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held at our corporate headquarters, Four Coliseum Centre, 2730 West Tyvola Road, Charlotte, North Carolina at 10:00 A.M. on April 15, 2003.

All shareholders of record of Common Stock at the close of business on February 24, 2003 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting. There were 117,491,683 shares outstanding and entitled to vote on such date, and each share is entitled to one vote. There are no cumulative voting rights.

Most shareholders have a choice of voting by proxy over the Internet, by using a toll-free telephone number or by completing a proxy card and mailing it in the postage-paid envelope provided. Please refer to your proxy card or the information forwarded by your bank, broker or other holder of record to see which options are available to you. Please be aware that if you vote over the Internet, you may incur costs such as telephone and Internet access charges for which you will be responsible. The Internet and telephone voting facilities for shareholders of record will close at 5:00 p.m. E.S.T. on April 14, 2003.

When you vote by proxy, your shares will be voted according to your instructions. If you sign your proxy card but don’t specify how you want your shares to be voted, they will be voted as the Board of Directors recommends. You can revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by written notice to the Company’s Secretary, timely delivery of a properly executed, later-dated proxy (including an Internet or telephone vote) or voting by ballot at the meeting. If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the holder of record to be able to vote at the meeting.

Proxies for shares of Common Stock will also represent shares held under our Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Proxies will also be considered to be voting instructions to the plan trustees with respect to shares held in accounts under the following plans: Goodrich Corporation Employees’ Savings Plan; Goodrich Corporation Employees’ Savings Plan for Wage Employees; Goodrich Corporation Savings Plan for Rohr Employees; Noveon, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan; Noveon, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan for Wage Employees; Michelin 401(k) Savings Plan; and UGTM Wage 401(k) Savings Plan. If participants in any such plan also are shareholders of record with the same account information, they will receive a single proxy which will represent all shares. If the account information is different, then the participants will receive separate proxies.

We will pay the expense of soliciting these proxies. In addition to using the mails and the Internet, our Officers, Directors and employees may solicit proxies personally, or by telephone or by facsimile. We will reimburse brokers and others holding shares in their names, or in the names of nominees, for their expenses in sending proxy material to the beneficial owners of such shares and obtaining their proxies. We have retained D.F. King & Co., Inc., 48 Wall Street, New York, New York 10005, to assist us in soliciting proxies from shareholders, including brokers, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries, and will pay that firm fees estimated at $9,500 for its services, plus the firm’s expenses and disbursements.

The approximate date on which we will begin mailing this proxy statement and the accompanying proxy to shareholders is March 6, 2003. Our 2002 Annual Report, including financial statements, is being mailed with this proxy statement to each shareholder of record. An additional copy will be furnished to any shareholder upon request.

This proxy statement and our 2002 Annual Report are available on our Internet site at www.goodrich.com. Most shareholders can elect to view future proxy statements and annual reports over the Internet instead of receiving paper copies in the mail. If you are a shareholder of record, you can choose this option and save us the cost of producing and mailing these documents by checking the appropriate box on your proxy card or by following the instructions provided if you vote over the Internet or by telephone. If you are a shareholder of record and choose to view future proxy statements and annual reports over the Internet, you will receive a proxy card in the mail next year with instructions containing the Internet address to access those documents. If your shares are held through a bank, broker or other holder of record, check the information provided by that entity for instructions on how to elect to view future proxy statements and annual reports over the Internet.

Our principal executive offices are located at Four Coliseum Centre, 2730 West Tyvola Road, Charlotte, North Carolina 28217.

VOTE REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of constituting a quorum. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

The thirteen nominees for Director receiving a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting in person or by proxy shall be elected. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” are not counted for purposes of the election of Directors.

Ratification of the appointment of independent auditors will be decided by a majority of the votes cast “for” or “against” the proposal at this meeting. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” are not counted for these purposes.

PROPOSALS TO SHAREHOLDERS

1. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

In accordance with our By-Laws, our Board of Directors has set the number of Directors at thirteen.

One of the purposes of the meeting is the election of thirteen Directors to hold office until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2004 and until their respective successors are elected and qualified. The thirteen nominees for election as a Director are named on the following pages. All of them are now Directors whose terms expire in April 2003.

All nominees have indicated that they are willing to serve as Directors if elected. If any nominee should be unable or unwilling to serve, the proxies will be voted for the election of such person as may be designated by the Board of Directors to replace such nominee.

In accordance with its management succession plan, the Board of Directors intends to elect Marshall O. Larsen as Chief Executive Officer at its April 15, 2003 meeting. The Board of Directors intends to elect Mr. Larsen to the position of Chairman of the Board at its October 2003 meeting, at which time David L. Burner will resign his position as a member of the Board of Directors.

The Board recommends that you vote FOR the election of these nominees for Director.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

Executive Compensation Philosophy

The Compensation Committee and the Company are committed to the philosophy that pay should be linked to Company performance so that the interests of executives are aligned with those of shareholders.

This philosophy is supported by the following guiding principles for the Company’s compensation programs:


	•	A significant portion of pay will be dependent on the Company’s annual and long-term performance including growth in shareholder value.

	•	Compensation programs will emphasize stock-based incentives in order to link shareholder and executive interests and to encourage stock ownership by executives.

	•	The Company intends to provide total compensation commensurate with performance — good performance resulting in superior compensation, and poor performance resulting in below average compensation levels compared to other companies.

The Company’s compensation program consists of three elements: annual base salary, annual cash incentive compensation and long-term incentives. To assist it in performing its duties, the Committee meets periodically with its own independent compensation consultant.

Competitive Labor Market

The Compensation Committee establishes compensation programs, in part, on the basis of competitive factors. It considers the pay levels and practices of a group of specific companies employing executives with comparable experience and skills as well as broad-based surveys of large industrial companies. The companies reviewed individually and those included in the principal broad-based surveys include those companies comprising the different indices used in the stock price performance graph, in addition to other companies.

Base Salary

The Company’s base salary policy is intended to insure that compensation practices are competitive within relevant industries and with major industrial companies. The Compensation Committee believes that the middle of the salary range for Company executives should be at the median base salary of comparable industrial companies. The Compensation Committee recommends to the Board of Directors the base salary for the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer and establishes the annual base salary for other Company officers at the level of senior vice president or higher.

Incentive Compensation

Incentive compensation is intended to motivate and retain qualified individuals who have the opportunity to influence Company results significantly and enhance shareholder value. The philosophy for incentive compensation plans is to provide competitive awards when financial objectives are achieved and provide reduced or no awards when the objectives are not achieved. Incentive compensation programs are divided into two types—annual cash bonus and long-term incentive compensation. Generally speaking, the higher an individual’s level within the Company, the greater the percentage of his or her potential total compensation is represented by incentive compensation.

For 2002, the Company utilized its Value Management Program as a measurement tool for evaluating its financial performance, for developing and evaluating its business plans and for incentive compensation. The primary measurements used by the Company were:


	•	Relative Total Shareholder Return compared to a peer group of comparable aerospace companies (“RTSR”);

	•	Total Business Return, which measures earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as well as cash flow (“TBR”); and


	•	Free cash flow, which measures operating cash flow adjusted for cash payments related to special items, less capital expenditures (“Free Cash Flow”). “Special items” include merger-related and consolidation costs, certain gains or losses on the sale of businesses, results of discontinued operations, cumulative effect of change in accounting, asset impairment charges and other restructuring costs.

The Compensation Committee believes that RTSR and TBR have historically been accurate estimators of shareholder value creation. However, the Company has undergone substantial change in its portfolio of businesses during 2001 and 2002. The Company’s Performance Materials segment was sold in 2001 and its Engineered Industrial Products segment was spun out to shareholders in 2002. The Compensation Committee has concluded that since the Company’s business results today are subject primarily to the cyclicality of the aerospace industry, certain changes should be made to the existing performance measurements.

The Compensation Committee believes that the individual components of TBR are still good measures for shareholder value creation. For the Company’s 2003 annual incentive program, the EBITDA component will be changed slightly to earnings before interest and taxes only (“EBIT”), and the cash flow component will be maintained as Free Cash Flow at the Company level and operating cash flow at the business unit level. Two additional components will be added, however: Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”), which we define as net income divided by the average invested capital (at the Company and business unit level) and individual and team goals. The financial components will be adjusted for special items. The individual and team goals component is being added to support the Company’s performance management process. Payouts relating to individual and team goals will be made only if threshold performance is achieved on at least two financial performance measures at the Company or business unit level, respectively.

In a cyclical single industry, like aerospace, the Compensation Committee believes that RTSR continues to be an important shareholder performance measure, but more appropriate for the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan only. Additionally, ROIC (measured at the Company level) has been selected by the Compensation Committee as a performance measure for that Plan.

Annual Incentive Compensation

An individual’s annual cash bonus target under the Company’s Management Incentive Plan is expressed as a percentage of his or her salary, with the percentages of salary increasing with the level of the job. Incentive payments can range from 0% to 200% of target, based on the level of performance against the financial objectives.

In 2002, Mr. Burner and nine other executive officers did not participate in the Management Incentive Plan. Instead, they participated in the Senior Executive Management Incentive Plan, which is designed to meet the Federal income tax deductibility rules of the Internal Revenue Code. As required by the Code, the plan requires that any award be based upon an objective formula established at the beginning of the year. For 2002, target annual incentive awards and financial objectives under the plan were established based on the same criteria as the Management Incentive Plan. Incentive payments under the plan can range from 0% to 200% of target, based on the level of performance against the financial objectives.

As noted above, the performance measures used in 2002 in the Company’s Management Incentive Plan and Senior Executive Management Incentive Plan were RTSR, TBR and Free Cash Flow. The plan places various weightings on these measures depending upon a participant’s role in the Company and his or her scope of responsibility. For 2002, the performance factors and weightings under these plans were as follows:


	Corporate			Segment			Segment			Group			Group			Business
Measures	Staff			COO			Staff			Presidents			Staff			Unit Staff

Company RTSR		50	%		50	%		30	%		30	%
Company TBR		25	%		25	%
Company Free Cash Flow		25	%		25	%
Segment TBR								35	%					10	%
Segment Free Cash Flow								35	%					10	%
Group TBR											35	%		40	%		10	%
Group Free Cash Flow											35	%		40	%		10	%
Business Unit TBR																	40	%
Business Unit Free Cash Flow																	40	%

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

Currently, long-term incentive compensation at the Company generally consists of a performance-related plan based on a three-year measurement cycle and stock options. The Committee has also used restricted stock as a component of long-term incentive compensation in certain circumstances.

With respect to selected senior executives, including the persons named in the Summary Compensation Table, the Committee considers the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer in determining the level of awards of long-term incentive compensation. It also considers its own evaluation of the individuals since the members have ample opportunity to observe their performance. With respect to other executives who receive long-term incentive compensation, the Committee makes the determination of the appropriate awards, but generally considers the recommendation of management in making the specific award within the established guidelines. The Committee has available information as to the level of past awards and individual stock ownership of the executive officers. The factors considered in making the awards for the Chief Executive Officer are discussed below.

In connection with the spin-off of EnPro Industries, Inc. in May 2002, all outstanding stock options and Long-Term Incentive Plan awards were adjusted to preserve the value of these awards after the spin-off. As part of these adjustments, for each stock option both the number of shares covered by the option and the exercise price were adjusted, and for each Long-Term Incentive Plan award the number of phantom shares covered by the award was adjusted. Throughout this proxy statement, information about stock options and Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards granted before the spin-off has been restated to reflect these adjustments.

Long-Term Incentive Plan

The Compensation Committee adopted the Long-Term Incentive Plan in 1992, which is based on the Stock Option Plan. In 2002, the Committee granted Long-Term Incentive Plan awards to 67 executives.

Currently, the Committee makes awards every year, based on overlapping three-year performance cycles. At the beginning of each three-year cycle, the Committee establishes the performance goals. The plan places various weightings on these measures depending upon a participant’s role in the Company and his or her scope of responsibility.

For the 2002-2004 awards, the performance factors and weightings were as follows:


	Corporate			Segment			Segment			Group			Group			Business
Measures	Staff			COO			Staff			Presidents			Staff			Unit Staff

Company RTSR		50	%		50	%		30	%		20	%		20	%		20	%
Company TBR		25	%		25	%
Company Free Cash Flow		25	%		25	%
Segment TBR								35	%		40	%		40	%		40	%
Segment Operating Cash Flow								35	%		40	%		40	%		40	%

Grants are credited as phantom Performance Shares in a book account for each participant. Each phantom Performance Share is equivalent to one share of Goodrich common stock. Participants will be entitled to a payout of shares at the end of each Plan cycle only if the threshold performance standard is met. The number of shares to be received will range from 0% to 200% of the total phantom Performance Share account (including shares credited through dividend equivalents), based on the level of performance against the above financial objectives. Awards will be paid in actual Goodrich common shares.

Guidelines establish a target award of Performance Shares with the aggregate market value of the shares awarded based upon a percentage of salary market value depending upon the individual’s position level within the Company — the higher the position level the greater the percentage. The determination of whether to make an award is dependent upon the individual’s past performance and expectations of future performance.

For the 2003-2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan awards, the Compensation Committee has approved using RTSR and ROIC (at the Company level), equally weighted, as performance factors.

Stock Options

The Stock Option Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. The Plan provides that options may not be granted at less than 100% of fair market value and that options may not be repriced. The Committee has established a target award for individuals based upon the aggregate exercise price of the options granted as a percentage of salary — the higher the salary, the greater the percentage. In 2002, the Committee granted stock options to 309 employees. Stock options granted to executive officers are immediately exercisable on the date of grant, while stock options to other employees generally vest over a three-year period.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Compensation Committee has endorsed a management recommendation establishing stock ownership guidelines for participants in the Long-Term Incentive Plan at a multiple of their base salary. The multiple varies from between ..75 to 4 times salary, with the multiple increasing with one’s level within the Company. Individuals are given five years to achieve the target ownership levels.

Tax Deductibility of Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation in excess of $1 million paid to the company’s chief executive officer or any of the four most highly compensated executive officers. Certain compensation is specifically exempt from the deduction limit to the extent that it does not exceed $1 million during any fiscal year or is “performance based” as defined in Section 162(m). The Compensation Committee believes that it is generally in the Company’s best interests to comply with Section 162(m). The Committee also believes, however, that it must maintain the flexibility to take actions which it deems to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders but which may not qualify for tax deductibility under Section 162(m).

Chief Executive Officer

Effective January 1, 2002, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board of Directors set, Mr. Burner’s base salary at $1,000,000. In recommending this base salary, the Committee took into account surveys of base compensation of chief executive officers of other major industrial companies. The Committee considered his leadership and key contributions to the overall financial performance of the Company, and the Company’s progress towards achieving important strategic objectives.

In 2002, Mr. Burner’s target annual incentive award and financial objectives under the Senior Executive Management Incentive Plan were established based on the same criteria as the Management Incentive Plan. For 2002 Mr. Burner’s target amount under the plan was 100% of base salary, and he received $500,000, or 50% of his target amount.

In 2002, Mr. Burner received options to purchase 146,074 shares. During 2002, Mr. Burner was awarded 48,309 Performance Shares under the 2002-2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The performance guidelines for awards for the Chief Executive Officer and the actual performance targets are the same as for other corporate officers. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors used the same factors to make these awards as it did in determining the other elements of Mr. Burner’s compensation.

(1)	Based on a closing price of $18.32 per share on December 31, 2002 and a total of 117,061,605 shares of Common Stock outstanding (excluding 14,000,000 shares held by a wholly owned subsidiary).

All options were granted with an exercise price equal to 100% of the Fair Market Value (as defined in the plan) on the date of grant. All share amounts and exercise prices reflect adjustments due to the spin-off of EnPro Industries, Inc.

The dollar amounts under the potential realizable value column are the result of calculations of assumed annual compound rates of appreciation over the ten-year life of the options in accordance with the proxy regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and are not intended to forecast possible future appreciation, if any, of the Common Stock. The actual value, if any, an executive may realize will depend on the excess of the market price of the shares over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised. We did not use an alternative formula for a grant date valuation, as we are not aware of any formula that will determine with reasonable accuracy a present value based on future unknown or volatile factors.

The options granted to the named individuals were immediately exercisable and were granted with limited stock appreciation rights which generally entitle the optionee to elect to receive the appreciation on the option in cash for a 60 day period following a “change in control”, which generally is deemed to have occurred if (i) any person becomes the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Common Stock or combined voting power of our outstanding securities (subject to certain exceptions), (ii) during any two-year period there generally has been a change in the majority of our Directors, or (iii) certain corporate reorganizations are approved by our shareholders where the existing shareholders will not retain at least 70% of the voting securities of the surviving entity.

At the end of the performance period, each participant will earn actual shares (less applicable tax withholding) only if the threshold performance standard is met. The number of shares to be received will range from 0% to 200% of the total phantom Performance Share account (including shares credited through dividend equivalents), based on the level of performance against the financial objectives. Awards have been adjusted to reflect the spin-off of EnPro Industries, Inc.

Retirement Pensions

We have in effect a pension plan for salaried employees which provides pensions payable at retirement to each eligible employee. The plan makes available a pension which is paid from funds provided through contributions by us and contributions by the employee, if any, made prior to 1972. The plan is not available to Directors other than those who are employees. The amount of an employee’s pension depends on a number of factors including Final Average Earnings (“FAE”) for the highest 48 consecutive months of an employee’s earnings and years of credited service to the Company.

The following chart shows the annual pension amounts currently available to employees who retire with the combinations of FAE and years of credited service shown in the chart, which should be read in conjunction with the notes following the chart. The current plan formula, which became effective as of January 1, 1989, generally provides a benefit of 1.15% of FAE times all years of pension credit plus 0.45% of FAE in excess of covered compensation times years of pension credit up to 35 years. In addition employees hired prior to January 1, 1990, may receive an additional pension credit of up to 4 years. Benefits become vested after five years of service.

The chart does not include amounts payable to Messrs. Burner, Larsen, Linnert, Schmidt and Grisik under a non-qualified supplemental plan that is funded in part with life insurance policies. Under this non-qualified plan, the executives earn an additional benefit equal to 1.6 percent of FAE for each of their first 15 years with the Company. As of December 31, 2002, the accrued additional benefits per year were as follows: D. L. Burner, $427,949; M.O. Larsen, $121,125; T. G. Linnert, $50,223; U. Schmidt, $16,793; and J. J. Grisik, $31,073.

(1)	FAE includes salary, certain incentive payments including annual cash bonuses and restricted stock awards in lieu of cash bonuses, but excludes awards under long-term incentive programs and the Company match in the Company savings plans. As of December 31, 2002, FAE for Messrs. Burner, Larsen, Linnert, Schmidt and Grisik were as follows: D. L. Burner, $1,783,121; M. O. Larsen, $1,068,754; T. G. Linnert, $608,187; U. Schmidt, $466,459; and J. J. Grisik, $597,169.

(2)	In computing the pension amounts shown, it was assumed that an employee would retire at age 65 and elect to receive a five year certain and continuous annuity under the pension plan and that the employee would not elect any of the available “survivor options,” which would result in a lower annual pension. Pensions are not subject to any deduction for Social Security or any other offset amounts.

(3)	As of December 31, 2002, Messrs. Burner, Larsen, Linnert, Schmidt and Grisik had the following credited years of service under the pension plan (including, where appropriate, up to the 4 additional years): D. L. Burner, 23 years, 8 months; M. O. Larsen, 24 years, 0 months; T. G. Linnert, 5 years, 2 months; U. Schmidt, 8 years, 6 months; and J. J. Grisik, 11 years, 0 months.

(4)	Any benefits shown in the chart which exceed the level of benefits permitted to be paid from a tax-qualified pension plan under the Internal Revenue Code are payable under a non-qualified supplemental pension plan, funded in part with life insurance policies.

Compensation and Benefits Arrangements with Mr. Burner

The Board of Directors has informed Mr. Burner of his compensation and benefits arrangements for the period beginning January 1, 2003 through his retirement on April 30, 2004. During this time period, Mr. Burner’s compensation and benefits will remain at 2002 levels. However, he will not be eligible to receive stock option and long-term incentive plan awards in 2004. We will provide him with office space and administrative support outside our headquarters for a period of three years after his retirement.

Management Continuity Agreements

In 1984 we first entered into management continuity agreements (the “Agreements”) with certain employees, which include all of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table. Presently there are 19 Agreements in effect.

The purpose of the Agreements is to encourage the individuals to carry out their duties in the event of the possibility of a change in control of the Company. The Agreements are not ordinary employment agreements and do not provide any assurance of continued employment unless there is a “change in control.” They generally provide for a two-year period of employment commencing upon a change in control which generally is deemed to have occurred if (i) any person becomes the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Common Stock or combined voting power of our outstanding securities (subject to certain exceptions), (ii) during any two-year period there generally has been a change in the majority of our Directors, or (iii) certain corporate reorganizations occur where the existing shareholders do not retain at least 70% of the voting securities of the surviving entity. The Agreements generally provide for the continuation of employment of the individuals in the same positions and with the same responsibilities and authorities that they possessed immediately prior to the change in control and generally with the same benefits and level of compensation, including average annual increases.

If we or our successor terminate the individual’s employment for reasons other than “cause” or the individual voluntarily terminates his or her employment for a “good reason” (in each case as defined in the Agreements), the individual would be entitled to:


•	a lump sum cash payment equal to one-twelfth of the individual’s annualized base salary in effect immediately prior to termination, multiplied by the number of months in such individual’s Payment Period. As used in the Agreement, “Payment Period” means 36 months in the case of Messrs. Burner, Larsen, Linnert, Schmidt and Grisik and seven other individuals and 24 months in the case of the other seven individuals;

•	a lump sum cash payment equal to one-twelfth of the greater of the individual’s most recent annual bonus or the individual’s “target incentive amount” under our management incentive program, multiplied by a factor equal to the number of months in the individual’s Payment Period;

•	an accelerated payout of outstanding awards under our Long-Term Incentive Plans;

•	continuation of all health and welfare benefit plans and programs and all fringe benefit programs, perquisites and similar arrangements during the Payment Period;

•	a cash payment equal to the sum of the number of stock options in the last annual grant of stock options by us to the individual, multiplied by the number of years in the Payment Period, multiplied by the calculated market value of our Common Stock on the date of the stock option grant, multiplied by a factor used by us in valuing fully vested stock options with a 10-year life in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for options held by senior executives pursuant to the Black-Scholes method of valuing stock options, or, if such


	valuation was not made in the Form 10-K, then under the Black-Scholes method assuming options would be outstanding for 10 years; and

•	in addition to the benefits to which the individual is entitled under the retirement plans or programs in which he or she participates, a lump sum cash payment at retirement in an amount equal to the actuarial equivalent of the retirement pension to which the individual would have been entitled under the terms of such retirement plans or programs had the individual accumulated additional years of continuous service under such plans equal in length to the Payment Period.

The Agreements provide for a tax gross-up for any excise tax due under the Internal Revenue Code for these types of agreements.

Indebtedness

In connection with the relocation of our corporate and aerospace segment headquarters to Charlotte, North Carolina in 1999, we established a real estate loan program to assist relocating executives. Under this program, an executive could obtain a no-interest loan from us, the proceeds of which would be used solely for the construction of a new principal residence. The loans were secured by a first priority lien on the new residence and payable in full on demand and, in any event, not later than 30 days after the executive obtained a certificate of occupancy for the new residence. Two of our executive officers (Messrs. Larsen and Huggins) participated in this program in 2002. Both of those loans were repaid in full in 2002.

The following table sets forth information regarding these loans.

Executive Stock Purchase Program

In September 2001 we adopted an Executive Stock Purchase Program (the “Program”) to encourage direct, long-term ownership of our common stock by our senior executives. Under the Program, the executives may use the proceeds of personal full-recourse bank loans to purchase our common stock in open market or negotiated transactions with independent parties. The loans have a five-year maturity and bear interest at a rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate for one month U.S. Dollar deposits (“LIBOR”) plus 0.50%. We have agreed to guarantee the loans in the event of default, but have recourse to the executives if we incur a loss under the guarantee. Participants in the Program are fully liable for any losses, as well as for the repayment of the loans when they come due. Seven of our ten executive officers and five other present or former officers participated in the Program in 2002.

The Program was suspended effective August 16, 2002, and no further loans may be made under the Program.

The following table sets forth information regarding these loans.

GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY

Pursuant to the New York Business Corporation Law and our By-Laws, our business is managed under the direction of our Board of Directors. Members of the Board are kept informed of our business through discussions with the Chairman and officers, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating in meetings of the Board and its committees. In addition, to promote open discussion among our non-employee directors, those directors meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions without management participation.

Corporate Governance

Our Board of Directors has a long-standing commitment to sound and effective corporate governance practices. In 1995 our Board adopted its Guidelines on Governance, which address a number of important governance issues including director independence, qualifications for Board membership, mandatory retirement, Board self-assessment and succession planning. In addition, our Board of Directors has for many years had in place formal charters setting forth the powers and responsibilities of each of its committees.

We have reviewed internally and with our Board of Directors the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the proposed New York Stock Exchange listing standards regarding corporate governance policies and processes. We believe that our Guidelines on Governance and committee charters already meet many of the proposed requirements. Our Board of Directors intends to amend, to the extent necessary, its governance documents once final rules have been adopted.

Board of Directors

In accordance with our Bylaws, our Board of Directors has set the number of Directors at thirteen. Eleven of our thirteen Directors are non-employee Directors. We believe that a substantial majority of our Directors are “independent” directors, with independence being defined in a manner consistent with listing standards recently proposed by the New York Stock Exchange.

Our Board of Directors held 11 meetings in 2002. All Directors attended more than 75% of the aggregate total number of meetings held in 2002 by the Board of Directors and the committees of the Board of Directors on which they served.

Board Committees

The Board of Directors has an Audit Review Committee, a Committee on Governance, a Compensation Committee and a Financial Policy Committee. All of the members of the Audit Review Committee are “independent,” as defined by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. The Board has established formal written charters for each of these committees.

The Board also has an Executive Committee, consisting of: David L. Burner, Chairman; James J. Glasser; and Alfred M. Rankin, Jr. This committee did not meet in 2002. The Executive Committee may exercise all of the powers of the Board of Directors, so far as they may be legally delegated, when the Board is not in session.

Audit Review Committee. The members of the Audit Review Committee as of the date of this proxy statement are: Richard de J. Osborne, Chairman; Harris E. DeLoach, Jr.; James W. Griffith; Douglas E. Olesen; Alfred M. Rankin, Jr.; and A. Thomas Young. This committee held eight meetings in 2002. The Audit Review Committee:


	•	considers the selection and recommends to the Board of Directors not later than at its meeting in February each year a firm of certified public accountants to be appointed as our independent auditors for our then current fiscal year;

	•	evaluates together with the Board of Directors the performance of the independent auditors and, if so determined by the Audit Review Committee, recommends that the Board replace the independent auditors;


	•	oversees independence of the independent auditors by:


	•	receiving from the independent auditors, on a periodic basis, a formal written statement delineating all relationships between the independent auditors and us consistent with generally accepted auditing standards;

	•	reviewing and actively discussing with the Board of Directors, if necessary, and the independent auditors, on an annual basis, any disclosed relationships or services between the independent auditors and us or any other disclosed relationships or services that may impact the objectivity and independence of the independent auditors; and

	•	recommending, if necessary, that the Board of Directors take certain actions to satisfy itself of the auditors’ independence;


	•	reviews with the independent auditors and our chief audit executive the scopes of the audits and the results of the audit examinations by the independent auditors and our chief audit executive with respect to our current fiscal year;

	•	reviews with management and the independent auditors our annual financial statements, including a discussion with the independent auditors of the matters required to be discussed by generally accepted auditing standards;

	•	reviews with management and the independent auditors our quarterly financial statements prior to the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including a discussion with the independent auditors of the matters required to be discussed by generally accepted auditing standards. The Chairman of the Audit Review Committee may represent the entire Audit Review Committee for purposes of this review;

	•	reviews the system of internal controls with the independent auditors, our chief audit executive and other financial officers and our General Counsel; and

	•	on at least an annual basis, reviews with our General Counsel any legal matters that may have a material impact on our financial statements, our compliance policies and any material reports or inquiries received from regulators or governmental agencies.

While the Audit Review Committee has the powers and responsibilities set forth in its charter, it is not the responsibility of the Audit Review Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that our financial statements are complete and accurate or are in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles. This is the responsibility of management and the independent auditors. Likewise, it is not the responsibility of the Audit Review Committee to conduct investigations, resolve disputes, if any, between management and the independent auditors or to assure compliance with laws and regulations or our legal and ethical compliance policies.

Committee On Governance. The members of the Committee on Governance as of the date of this proxy statement are: James J. Glasser, Chairman; William R. Holland; Richard de J. Osborne; and James R. Wilson. This committee held three meetings in 2002. The Committee on Governance:


	•	recommends candidates for our Board of Directors;

	•	reviews annually the tenure of each Director; and

	•	considers the size and composition of the Board, the ratio of non-employee to employee Directors, compensation and retirement of Directors, frequency and format of Board meetings, Committee structure, service on Committees and management succession planning.

All candidates for Director are considered and selected strictly on the basis of their ability to contribute to the deliberations of the Board of Directors. Shareholders wishing to recommend candidates for the Board may submit the names of such candidates, together with any desired supporting information, to our Secretary. This information is made available to the Committee on Governance to assist it in fulfilling its duties in this area.

Compensation Committee. The members of the Compensation Committee as of the date of this proxy statement are: James R. Wilson, Chairman; Diane C. Creel; George A. Davidson, Jr., Harris E. DeLoach, Jr.; James J. Glasser and James W. Griffith. This committee held seven meetings in 2002. The Compensation Committee:


	•	reviews and recommends to the Board of Directors the adoption or amendment of the various compensation and benefit plans and programs maintained for the Officers and other key employees, including any stock option or incentive compensation plans;

	•	reviews and approves specific matters which are consistent with such plans and programs;

	•	reviews and approves certain compensation and benefit arrangements for senior management;

	•	approves the terms and conditions of awards under the Stock Option Plan within the limits in the Plan;

	•	makes awards under the Stock Option Plan and the Long-Term Incentive Plan; and

	•	establishes the annual merit salary increase budget for corporate staff executives, reviews and approves compensation for individuals holding the offices of Senior Vice President and above and reviews and recommends to the Board of Directors for approval the compensation for the Chief Executive Officer.

Financial Policy Committee. The members of the Financial Policy Committee as of the date of this proxy statement are: William R. Holland, Chairman; Diane C. Creel; George A. Davidson, Jr.; Douglas E. Olesen; Alfred M. Rankin, Jr.; and A. Thomas Young. This committee held six meetings in 2002. The Financial Policy Committee:


	•	reviews the policies underlying our financial plan to ensure its adequacy and soundness in providing for our capital plans;

	•	reviews and makes recommendations concerning the establishment and maintenance of our dividend policy;

	•	reviews, prior to action by the Board, our proposed major financing activities or acquisitions;

	•	authorizes certain actions with respect to our debt or preferred stock; and

	•	authorizes policies and procedures with respect to our short-term investments.

Compensation of Directors

During 2002 each of our non-employee Directors received fixed compensation for serving as a Director at the rate of $50,000 per year, plus $1,000 for each Board and Board Committee meeting attended, except that the chairperson of a Committee received $2,000 for each meeting of that Committee attended. Effective January 1, 2003, the meeting fees were increased to $1,500 and $2,500, respectively. Employee Directors receive no additional compensation for Board service.

Under our Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan, one half of the fixed compensation is deferred into a phantom Goodrich share account and is paid out in shares of Common Stock following termination of service as a Director. Dividends which would be earned on the phantom share account are credited to the account in additional phantom shares. Directors may elect to defer a portion or all of the remaining fixed compensation and meeting fees into the phantom share account. The Board believes that a portion of Director compensation should be based on Common Stock similar to executive compensation. This should more closely align the financial interests of Directors with the financial interests of shareholders.

In September 1995, the Board of Directors replaced the existing cash retirement plan for Directors with a new Directors’ Phantom Share Plan. Under the terms of the plan, outside Directors receive annual grants of phantom shares equal in value to the current annual retainer for up to ten years. Dividend equivalents accrue on all phantom shares credited to a Director’s account. All phantom shares become fully vested at the earlier of five years from the date of grant, the Director’s termination of Board service after age 55, or upon a change in control of the Company as defined in our Stock Option Plan. Following termination of service as a

Director, the cash value of the vested number of phantom shares will be paid to each Director in twelve monthly installments. The value of each phantom share is determined on the relevant date by the fair market value of the Common Stock.

The former cash retirement plan provided upon retirement from the Board of Directors after reaching the age of 55 with at least ten years of service as a Director, any non-employee Director would be entitled to receive an annual amount equal to the fixed compensation level in effect at the time of retirement. A retiring Director who has reached age 55 and has served for at least five but less than ten years would be entitled to a reduced amount equal to 50% of the fixed compensation level in effect at retirement, plus 10% of such compensation level for each additional year of service (rounded to the nearest whole year) up to ten.

Transitional provisions have been provided between the old cash retirement plan and the new Directors’ Phantom Share Plan based on a Director’s years of service as of September 1995. Directors with more than ten years of service at that date will continue to be eligible under the old plan but will not receive any phantom shares under the new plan. Outside Directors with at least five but less than ten years service at that date will continue to be eligible to receive benefits under the old plan with respect to their accrued benefits through the date of the adoption of the Directors’ Phantom Share Plan and will receive annual grants of phantom shares through their tenth year. Outside Directors with less than five years of service at that date will receive no benefits under the old plan, but received initial grants of phantom shares equal to the current annual cash retainer times the number of completed years of service and will thereafter receive annual grants of phantom shares up to an aggregate of ten years. Retired Directors will continue to receive their retirement benefits.

Non-employee Directors are reimbursed for actual expenses to attend meetings. We also maintain $275,000 in business travel accident insurance coverage for each of our non-employee Directors.

Insurance

As authorized by Section 726 of the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York and our By-Laws, we have purchased insurance providing indemnification for the Company and its subsidiaries as well as their directors and officers. The insurance is part of a package which includes employment practices, fiduciary and crime insurance coverage. The insurance coverage was written by XL Capital, The Hartford, Royal & Sun Alliance, St. Paul Fire and Marine, Zurich American Insurance, Starr Express and Kemper Insurance Company, commencing June 19, 2001, for a three-year period, at a total premium cost of $2,861,000.

Consulting Agreement with Mr. Holland

William R. Holland, one of our directors, agreed to serve as the non-executive chairman of EnPro Industries, Inc. following the spin-off of that company to our shareholders on May 31, 2002. We and EnPro entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Holland for the additional time required of him in connection with the spin-off. Under the agreement, Mr. Holland was paid a monthly consulting fee of $36,000 for the period of March 1 through June 30, 2002 (when activity relating to the spin-off was at its peak) and $15,000 per month beginning in July 2002. We were responsible for payment of and paid all consulting fees relating to services provided prior to the spin-off date, which amounted to $108,000. EnPro is responsible for payment of all consulting fees relating to services provided on or after the spin-off date. The Agreement terminates April 30, 2003. During the term of the agreement, Mr. Holland will also be compensated for his services as a Goodrich director. See “Compensation of Directors”.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors and executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of our Common Stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Based solely upon a review of such reports and representations from our directors and executive officers, we believe that during 2002 all such reports were filed on a timely basis.

AUDIT REVIEW COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Review Committee reviews the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the Company’s financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal controls.

In this context, the Committee has met and held discussions with management and the independent auditors. Management represented to the Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the independent auditors. The independent auditors discussed with the Committee the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication With Audit Committees).

In addition, the Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions With Audit Committees), and discussed with the independent auditors the auditor’s independence from the Company and its management. The Committee also considered whether the provision of non-audit services to the Company is compatible with maintaining the auditor’s independence.

The Committee discussed with the Company’s internal and independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. The Committee meets with the internal and independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, the evaluations of the Company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board has approved, that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Committee and the Board also have recommended, subject to shareholder ratification, the appointment of the Company’s independent auditors.

2. RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Representatives of the firm of Ernst & Young LLP, our auditors for the most recently completed fiscal year, are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

Under the rules of the SEC, if a shareholder wants us to include a proposal in our proxy statement for presentation at the 2004 Annual Meeting, the proposal must be received by us, attention: Office of the Secretary, at our principal executive offices by November 6, 2003. We suggest that such proposals be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested.

Under our By-Laws, any shareholder entitled to vote at the 2004 Annual Meeting may bring business before the meeting if such shareholder provides written notice to, and such notice is received by, the Secretary of the Company generally not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting. For the 2004 Annual Meeting such notice must be received between December 16, 2003 and January 15, 2004. Each such notice must include:


	•	for each matter, a brief description thereof and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting;

	•	the name and address of the shareholder proposing such business as well as any other shareholders believed to be supporting such proposal;

	•	the number of shares of each class of Company stock owned by such shareholders; and

	•	any material interest of such shareholders in such proposal.

See Appendix A for the full text of the relevant section of the By-Laws.

This notice requirement applies to matters being brought before the meeting for a vote. Shareholders, of course, may and are encouraged to ask appropriate questions at the meeting without having to comply with the notice provisions.

ARTICLE I, SECTION 10

SECTION 10. (A) Annual Meetings of Shareholders. (1) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Company and the proposal of business to be considered by the shareholders may be made at an annual meeting of shareholders (a) pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting, (b) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (c) by any shareholder of the Company who was a shareholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this By-Law, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in this By-Law.

(2) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder pursuant to clause (c) of paragraph (A)(1) of this By-Law, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Company. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 60 days from such anniversary date, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Such shareholder’s notice shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, the name, age, principal occupations and employment during the past five years, name and principal business of any corporation or other organization in which such occupations and employment were carried on, a brief description of any arrangement or understanding between such person and any other person(s) (naming such person(s)) pursuant to which he was or is to be selected as a nominee, and the written consent of such person(s) to serve as a director if elected; (b) as to any other business that the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such shareholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; (c) as to the shareholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such shareholder, as they appear on the Company’s books, of such beneficial owner and any other shareholders believed by such shareholder to be supporting such nominee(s) or other business and (ii) the class and number of shares of the Company which are owned beneficially and of record by such shareholder, such beneficial owner and any other shareholders believed by such shareholder to be supporting such nominee(s) or other business.

(3) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph (A)(2) of this By-Law to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Company is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for Director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors made by the Company at least 70 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a shareholder’s notice required by this By-Law shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Company.

(B) Special Meetings of Shareholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of shareholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting (a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (b) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such special meeting, by any shareholder of the Company who is a shareholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this By-Law, who shall be entitled to vote at the meeting

A-1

and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this By-Law. In the event the Company calls a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors, any such shareholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be), for election to such position(s) as specified in the Company’s notice of meeting, if the shareholder’s notice required by paragraph (A)(2) of this By-Law shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company not earlier than the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting.

(C) General. (1) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this By-Law shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of shareholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this By-Law. The Chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this By-Law and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this By-Law, to declare that such defective proposal shall be disregarded.

(2) For purposes of this By-Law, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this By-Law, a shareholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this By-Law. Nothing in this By-Law shall be deemed to affect any rights of shareholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Company’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.
