PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHARE OWNERS
To Be Held May 12, 2015

The Annual Meeting of the share owners of Owens-Illinois, Inc. (the "Company") will be held on Tuesday, May 12, 2015, at 9:00 a.m. in Plaza 2 of the O-I World Headquarters, Perrysburg, Ohio. At the Annual Meeting, share owners will: (1) vote to elect 12 directors, each to serve a term of one year; (2) consider the ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2015; (3) participate in an advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation; and (4) consider the approval of the amendment, restatement and continuation of the Company's 2004 Equity Incentive Plan for Directors of Owens-Illinois, Inc. and the grant of 33,623 restricted stock units to directors in 2014 thereunder.

This Proxy Statement has been prepared in connection with the solicitation by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") of proxies for the Annual Meeting and provides information concerning the persons nominated by the Board for election as directors, and other information relevant to the Annual Meeting. The Company intends to commence distribution of this Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card on or about April 2, 2015.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHARE OWNERS TO BE HELD ON MAY 12, 2015

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a "Notice and Access" rule that allows companies to deliver a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials ("Notice of Internet Availability") to share owners in lieu of a paper copy of the proxy statement and related materials and the Company's 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Notice of Internet Availability provides instructions as to how share owners can access the proxy materials online, contains a listing of matters to be considered at the meeting, and sets forth instructions as to how shares can be voted. Shares must be voted either by telephone, on the Internet or by completing and returning a proxy card. Shares cannot be voted by marking, writing on and/or returning the Notice of Internet Availability. Any Notices of Internet Availability that are returned will not be counted as votes. Instructions for requesting a paper copy of the proxy materials are set forth on the Notice of Internet Availability.

The Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement, the Company's 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Stakeholder Letter are available at www.proxyvote.com. You will need your assigned control number to vote your shares. Your control number can be found on your proxy card.

Who May Vote

You will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting if you are a share owner of record as of the close of business on March 16, 2015 (the "record date"). At the close of business on the record date, 161,243,589 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), were outstanding. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder of record to one vote on all matters to be voted upon at

1

the Annual Meeting. Shares of Common Stock held by the trustee under the Company's 401(k) plans must be voted by the trustee in accordance with written instructions from participants in such plan or, as to those shares for which no instructions are received, in a uniform manner as a single block in accordance with the instructions received with respect to the majority of shares for which instructions were received from participants. No other securities are entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting.

How to Vote

Shares of Common Stock can be voted at the Annual Meeting only if the share owner is present in person or represented by proxy. If shares are owned of record in the share owner's name, the share owner may cause its shares to be voted at the Annual Meeting in one of four ways:

Vote by Internet

A share owner can choose to submit a proxy over the Internet at www.proxyvote.com. The deadline for submitting a proxy over the Internet is 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 11, 2015. In order to vote by Internet, the share owner should make sure it has the control number found on the proxy card, follow the voting instructions and confirm that their votes have been accurately recorded. If a proxy is submitted over the Internet, the share owner does not need to return the proxy card.

Vote by Telephone

A share owner can also submit its proxy by telephone by calling the toll-free number (for residents of the U.S. and Canada) listed on the proxy card. The deadline for submitting a proxy by telephone is 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 11, 2015. To submit its proxy, the share owner must enter the control number listed on the proxy card and follow the recorded instructions. If a proxy is submitted by telephone, the share owner does not need to return the proxy card.

Vote by Mail

If the share owner chooses to submit its proxy by mail, the share owner is required to complete, date and sign the accompanying proxy card and return it promptly in the enclosed envelope or return it to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717. The deadline for Broadridge to receive and count a proxy by mail is 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 11, 2015.

Vote in Person

A share owner can choose to vote in person at the Annual Meeting by ballot, but must have a legal proxy with them in order for their vote to count. At the meeting, the share owner will need to request a ballot to vote these shares.

Further Instructions Regarding "How to Vote"

The telephonic and Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate votes cast by use of a personal identification number. These procedures allow share owners to appoint a proxy to vote their shares and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded.

2

Share owners who hold their shares beneficially in street name through a nominee (such as a bank or broker) may be able to submit their proxy by telephone or the Internet as well as by mail. The share owner should follow the instructions received from the nominee to vote these shares.

The proxy card lists each person nominated by the Board for election as a director. Proxies duly executed and received in time for the meeting will be voted in accordance with share owners' instructions. If no instructions are given, proxies will be voted (a) to elect the 12 nominated directors of the Company for a term of one year to expire at the Annual Meeting in 2016; (b) to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2015; (c) to approve the compensation of the Company's named executive officers; (d) to approve the amendment, restatement and continuation of the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan for Directors of Owens-Illinois, and the grant of 33,623 restricted stock units to directors in 2014 thereunder; and (e) in the discretion of the proxy holders as to any other business that may properly come before the meeting.

Revocability of Proxies

Any proxy solicited hereby may be revoked by the person or persons giving it at any time before it has been exercised at the Annual Meeting by (a) giving notice of revocation to the Company in writing or at the 2015 Annual Meeting; (b) submitting a later dated proxy; or (c) attending the Annual Meeting in person and voting at the meeting.

Vote Required to Approve Matters

There must be a quorum for the transaction of business at the meeting. A quorum is the presence at the meeting of a number of shares that are either present or represented by proxy, constituting a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the meeting. If you submit a properly executed proxy card or a telephonic or Internet proxy, or you are present at the meeting in person, even if you abstain from voting, your shares will be considered part of the quorum. Broker non-votes (shares held by a broker or nominee that are represented at the meeting, but with respect to which the broker or nominee is not empowered to vote on a proposal) are included in determining the presence of a quorum.

Proposal One. Each director to be elected by the share owners of the Company shall be elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast with respect to such director by the shares represented and entitled to vote thereon at a meeting of the share owners for the election of directors at which a quorum is present (an "Election Meeting"); provided, however, that if the Board determines that the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected at such meeting (a "Contested Election"), whether or not the election becomes an uncontested election after such determination, each of the directors to be elected at the Election Meeting shall be elected by the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by the shares represented and entitled to vote at such meeting with respect to the election of such director. For purposes of electing directors, a "majority of the votes cast" means that the number of votes cast "for" a candidate for director exceeds the number of votes cast "against" that director (with "abstentions" and "broker non-votes" not counted as votes cast as either "for" or "against" such director's election). In an election other than a Contested Election, share owners will be given the choice to cast votes "for" or "against" the election of directors or to "abstain" from such vote and shall not have the ability to cast any other vote with respect to such election of directors. In a Contested Election, share owners will be given the choice to cast "for" or "withhold" votes for the election of directors and shall not have the ability to cast any other vote with respect to such election of directors. The Board has established procedures under which any director who is not elected shall offer to tender his or her resignation to the Board.

3

Proposal Two. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon is required to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2015. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes "against" this proposal and "broker non-votes" will not be counted in determining whether this proposal has been approved.

Proposal Three. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon is required for the advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes "against" this proposal and "broker non-votes" will not be counted in determining whether this proposal has been approved.

Proposal Four. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon is required for the approval of the amendment, restatement and continuation of the Company's 2004 Equity Incentive Award for Directors of Owens-Illinois, Inc. and the grant of 33,623 restricted stock units to directors in 2014 thereunder. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes "against" this proposal and "broker non-votes" will not be counted in determining whether this proposal has been approved.

Other Matters

Management of the Company does not know of any matter that will be presented for action at the 2015 Annual Meeting other than as described in this Proxy Statement. However, if any other matter should properly be brought to a vote at the meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, all shares covered by proxies solicited hereby will be voted with respect to such matter in accordance with the proxy holders' discretion.

PROPOSAL 1:
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

General

The Company's Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for the declassification of the Board of Directors over a three-year period that began at the 2013 Annual Meeting and concludes at this year's Annual Meeting. After the election of directors at this year's Annual Meeting, the Board will cease to be classified, and the directors elected at this year's Annual Meeting (and each meeting thereafter) will be elected for a term expiring at the next Annual Meeting.

The Board currently consists of 12 members whose terms expire at this year's Annual Meeting. Pursuant to the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee's Policies and Procedures Regarding the Identification and Evaluation of Candidates for Director (the "Policies and Procedures"), the Committee reviewed the qualifications, performance and circumstances of each incumbent director. After completing its review, the Committee proposed all incumbent directors for re-election except for Helge H. Wehmeier and Jay L. Geldmacher. Mr. Wehmeier has reached the age of 72 and, consistent with the Policies and Procedures, was not nominated by the Committee for re-election. The Committee also did not nominate Mr. Geldmacher for re-election, as his changed professional circumstances created challenges for him to continue his service as a director. The Board approved the Committee's recommendation regarding the incumbent directors and also approved the Committee's proposal that two new candidates stand for election, Gordon J. Hardie and Alan J. Murray, to fill the two vacancies. The education and professional histories of these two nominees are provided below.

Information on Nominees

The Board, at the recommendation of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, has nominated 12 persons for election as directors to serve for a one-year term expiring at the 2016 Annual Meeting of share owners and until their successors have been elected.

Hardie and Murray, each nominee is currently serving as a director of the Company and each nominee has consented to being named in this Proxy Statement and has agreed to serve if elected. If for any reason any nominee should be unavailable to serve, proxies solicited hereby may be voted for a substitute as well as for the other Board nominees. The Board, however, expects all of its nominees to be available to serve.

GOVERNANCE INFORMATION

Board Leadership Structure

The Company has no fixed policy on whether the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer should be separate or combined. Currently, these roles are combined with Mr. Stroucken serving as both the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Stroucken possesses the detailed knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges facing the Company that makes him the Board's choice to be the Chief Executive Officer and to lead the day-to-day operation of the Company. The Board also believes that Mr. Stroucken is best positioned to be Chairman of the Board and to ensure that the Board's time and attention are focused on the most critical matters and to assist the Board in its role to oversee the execution of the Company's strategic plan.

The Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines (the "Guidelines") provide that an independent member of the Board serve as Lead Director. Pursuant to the Guidelines, the Lead Director:

•
  acts as a key liaison with the Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO");
•
  assists the Chairman of the Board and Secretary in setting the Board agenda, and determining what materials will be provided to directors in advance of Board meetings;
•
  reviews the Board agenda to ensure the agenda items receive adequate time for discussion and deliberation;
•
  directs management to distribute to directors materials that contribute to the Board's understanding of the Company's business or its oversight responsibilities;
•
  determines when the Board should meet in executive session without management present; and
•
  chairs executive sessions of the Board without management present, and communicates Board member feedback to the CEO.

The Chair of the Audit Committee, Mr. Peter S. Hellman, was elected Lead Director on May 15, 2014 after serving as Interim Lead Director since August 2, 2013.

The Company has disclosed that Mr. Stroucken's succession candidate is the current Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Andres Lopez, who assumed this position on February 1, 2015, after serving as the President of O-I America's since August, 2014, and the Regional President of South America since April, 2009. The Company has also disclosed that it expects to transition to a non-executive Chairman of the Board in the first half of 2016.

The Company's non-management directors meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions, both with the CEO and also without any members of management present. The purpose of these executive sessions is to promote open and candid discussion between the Board and the CEO and separately among the non-management directors of the Board. The Board believes this approach effectively complements the Company's Board leadership structure. The non-management directors met eight times in executive session in 2014 without management present, and the independent directors met once in executive session in 2014. As provided by the Guidelines, either the Lead Director or his designee presides at these executive sessions.

10

Risk Oversight

The Board recognizes that an important part of its responsibilities is to evaluate the Company's exposure to risk and to monitor the steps management has taken to assess and control risk. The Board primarily oversees risks through committees of the Board, particularly through the Risk Oversight Committee and the Audit Committee, as discussed in the descriptions of the committees below. The committees report to the Board and matters of particular importance or concern, including any significant areas of risk faced by the Company, are discussed by the entire Board. In addition, the Board meets with the Company's regional presidents on a rotating basis to review risk exposure with respect to the Company's strategic plans and objectives in order to improve long-term organizational performance.

Board Responsibilities

The Board has the ultimate authority for overseeing the management of the Company's business. The Board also identifies and evaluates candidates for, and ultimately appoints the Company's officers, delegates responsibilities for the conduct of the Company's operations to those officers, and monitors their and the Company's performance. Certain important functions of the Board are performed by committees comprised of members of the Board, as provided below.

Board Independence

The vast majority of the members of the Board are "independent" in accordance with the New York Stock Exchange listing standards. The Board has affirmatively determined that each of the following directors is an independent director of the Company under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange: Gary F. Colter, Jay L. Geldmacher, Peter S. Hellman, Anastasia D. Kelly, Hari N. Nair, Hugh H. Roberts, Helge H. Wehmeier, Carol A. Williams, Dennis K. Williams and Thomas L. Young. The Board has also affirmatively determined that the director nominees, Messrs. Hardie and Murray, are independent. In making this determination, the Board has determined that none of these directors or nominees has any material relationships with the Company other than their roles as directors.

Board Member Stock Ownership

The Board has established stock ownership guidelines for its members. Each member of the Board is required to own shares of the Company's Common Stock having a value equal to five times the director's annual cash retainer. New directors have four years from the date of joining the Board to attain the required stock ownership. Until the stock ownership guidelines are met, directors are required to retain 100% of the "net profit shares" acquired from grants of restricted stock or exercises of stock options. Net profit shares are those shares remaining after payment of tax obligations.

Board Size

The Board currently consists of 12 members. Under the Company's Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the maximum size of the Board is 12 members.

Board Meeting Attendance

In 2014, the full Board met nine times. Each member of the Board attended more than 75% or more of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and of committees of the Board of which such director

11

was a member. Attendance at Board and committee meetings during 2014 averaged over 96% for directors as a group.

The Company does not have a policy with regard to Board members' attendance at Annual Meetings, although members of the Board are encouraged to attend. Eleven of the twelve members of the then current Board attended the 2014 Annual Meeting.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

A copy of the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines is available on the "Investors" section of the Company's website (www.o-i.com). A copy is also available in print to share owners upon request, addressed to the "Secretary" at Owens-Illinois, Inc., One Michael Owens Way, Perrysburg, Ohio 43551-2999. The address of the Company's website provided above or elsewhere in the Proxy Statement is not intended to function as a hyperlink, and the contents of the Company's website are neither a part of this Proxy Statement nor incorporated by reference.

Board Nominees

The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee (the "Committee") is responsible for identifying individuals qualified to become members of the Board and recommending that the Board select the candidates for all directorships to be filled by the Board or by the share owners. The Committee is governed in this regard by its Policies and Procedures Regarding the Identification and Evaluation of Candidates for Director (the "Policies and Procedures"), copies of which are available on the "Investors" section of the Company's website (www.o-i.com) and in print, free of charge, to share owners upon request to the "Secretary" at Owens-Illinois, Inc., One Michael Owens Way, Perrysburg, Ohio 43551-2999.

Pursuant to the Policies and Procedures, candidates for the Board must demonstrate strong leadership in their particular field, and have broad business experience and the ability to exercise sound business judgment. In addition, candidates must possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values, and be committed to representing the long-term interests of the share owners. Candidates must also be willing to devote sufficient time to carry out their duties and responsibilities effectively, and be committed to serve on the Board for an extended period of time.

The Policies and Procedures require the Committee to consider the contributions that a candidate can be expected to make to the collective functioning of the Board based on the totality of the candidate's background, skills, experience and expertise and the composition of the Board at the time. The Policies and Procedures also state the Committee's belief that diversity is an important attribute of a well-functioning Board and the Policies and Procedures, the Guidelines and the Committee's Charter each require the Committee to take into consideration the benefits of having Board members who reflect a diversity of age, gender, ethnicity and country of citizenship.

The Committee will consider potential candidates for director who have been recommended by the Company's directors, the CEO, other members of senior management and share owners. Outside consultants may also be employed to help identify potential candidates. Pursuant to its Policies and Procedures, the Committee conducts all necessary and appropriate inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of possible candidates and considers questions of independence and possible conflicts of interest. Members of the Committee discuss and evaluate possible candidates in detail, and determine which individuals to consider in more depth. Once a candidate is identified whom the Committee wants to move toward nomination, one or more members of the Committee will enter into discussions with the

12

candidate. The procedures for the nomination of director candidates by share owners are described under the heading "2016 Annual Meeting of Share Owners."

The performance of incumbent members of the Board is evaluated annually by the Committee. Incumbent directors who continue to satisfy the Committee's criteria for Board membership and whom the Committee believes continue to make important contributions to the Board generally will be renominated by the Board at the end of their term. For reasons noted above, Messrs. Wehmeier and Geldmacher have not been nominated for re-election. In addition, Messrs. Hardie and Murray have been nominated to stand for election at the Annual Meeting, having met the personal and professional characteristics identified in the Policies and Procedures.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

The Company has a Global Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Code") that is applicable to all directors, officers and employees of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Code is available on the "Investors" section of the Company's website (www.o-i.com) and in print, free of charge, to share owners upon request, addressed to the "Secretary" at Owens-Illinois, Inc., One Michael Owens Way, Perrysburg, Ohio 43551-2999.

In the case of communications to the Board or any group or committee of directors, the Secretary will distribute the contents to each director who is a member of the group or committee to which the contents are addressed.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION AND OTHER INFORMATION

Director Compensation

In 2014, each non-management director of the Company received an annual retainer of $67,500, payable quarterly. Each non-management director also received $2,000 for each Board meeting in which such director participated. The Chair of the Audit Committee received an additional annual retainer of $20,000, the Chair of the Compensation Committee received an additional annual retainer of $15,000, and the chair of the Nominating/Corporate Governance and Risk Oversight Committees received an additional annual retainer of $10,000. The Lead Director received an annual retainer of $20,000 in addition to the annual retainer for his service as chair of a committee, and, on July 16, 2014, the Board approved the Compensation Committee's recommendation to increase the Lead Director's annual retainer from $20,000 to $30,000, effective immediately. Each non-management director who served as a member of a committee of the Board (including as chair) received $2,000 for each committee meeting in which such director participated.

Each non-management director also receives on the date immediately following the date of the Annual Meeting of share owners, a grant of restricted stock units ("RSUs") under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan for Directors of Owens-Illinois, Inc. with respect to a number of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value on the date of grant equal to $92,500, rounded up or down to nearest whole share of Common Stock. RSUs will be 100% vested on the first anniversary of date of grant ("Normal Vesting Date"), or earlier upon a director's termination of membership by reason of the director's death, disability or retirement. In addition, upon a director's termination of membership for any reason other than death, disability, retirement or for cause, RSUs will vest pro rata on a daily basis based on number of days of service in the 12-month period from date of grant to normal vesting date. Any unvested RSUs are forfeited at termination of membership on the Board. Upon a director's termination of membership for cause all RSUs are immediately forfeited. Vested RSUs will be paid in shares of Common Stock, on a one for one basis, within 30 days after normal vesting date, or if earlier, within 30 days after termination of membership which constitutes a separation from service under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Each director is reimbursed for expenses associated with meetings of the Board or its committees.

In the event a new non-management director joins the Board on any date other than the date of the Annual Meeting of share owners, in addition to the RSU grant described in the previous paragraph, such new non-management director will also receive on the date immediately following the first Annual Meeting of share owners during such director's tenure on the Board an additional grant of RSUs with respect to a number of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value on the date of such grant equal to a pro rata allocation of the dollar amount of the prior year's RSU grant based on the number of days of service in the 12-month period from the commencement of such director's service on the Board to the date of such grant, rounded up or down to the nearest whole share of Common Stock.

As discussed below under Proposal 4, in 2014 each of the directors (other than Mr. Nair and Ms. Williams) received 2,821 RSUs, and Mr. Nair and Ms. Williams receive 4,824 and 3,410 RSUs respectively for their service as directors. These grants are subject to approval by share owners. If the share owners do not approve such grants, each director (other than Mr. Nair and Ms. Williams) will receive cash equal to $92,500 and Mr. Nair and Ms. Williams will receive cash equal to $158,179 and $111,814 respectively as compensation for 2014.

The Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors of Owens-Illinois, Inc. provides an opportunity for non-management directors to defer payment of their directors' fees. Under the plan, a non-management

17

director may defer receipt of all or any portion of the cash portion of the compensation described above. Deferrals may be credited into a cash account or into a Company stock unit account. Funds held in a cash account accrue interest at a rate equal from time to time to the average annual yield on domestic corporate bonds of Moody's A-rated companies, plus one percent. Distributions from the plan are made in cash.

The total compensation earned by non-management directors in 2014 is reflected in the following table:

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Executive Summary

During 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Committee") continued to emphasize the Company's commitment to aligning pay with performance and creating share owner value, while mitigating the Company's level of risk exposure. The Company believes that its executive compensation program strikes the appropriate balance between using responsible, measured pay practices and providing rewards that effectively attract and retain executives, while motivating them to create value for the share owners. The result of this philosophy is that the Company's pay for performance model is highly aligned with share owners' interests.

Business Strategy

As the world's leading glass container producer, the Company benefits from its global manufacturing presence and world-class expertise. The Company is well positioned to gain from consumers' preference for glass around the world and its customers' desire for sustainable and safe packaging solutions. Refillable glass containers, the norm in many emerging and some mature economies, provide the Company's customers with the most economical packaging solution. While the Company is affected by broader macroeconomic trends, including currency and interest rate shifts, management is squarely focused on select key value drivers and delivering steady—and improving—financial performance. The Company bases its incentive programs on financial metrics the executive team can influence. This design drives motivation and retention despite competitive cost headwinds and other external challenges that may be out of the executive team's control.

In 2014, the Company made significant progress on its strategic agenda. For instance, the European Asset Optimization program, in its second full year, is delivering both cost savings and improved asset

20

efficiency. Under the program, Europe has taken out 10 percent of its furnaces, with no substantive reduction in capacity. The Company's investment in innovation capabilities is demonstrating results. In 2014, the Company helped several multi-national beer customers launch successful campaigns in colored glass packaging, and the Company's award-winning screw cork bottle Helix™ has reached the shelves for end consumers to purchase. Commercialization of innovation is expected to increase in the coming years, in part due to the opening of the Company's Innovation Center at its world headquarters in Perrysburg. Through deliberate, cross-functional collaboration, the Company has reduced the time between bottle design and delivery of a sample bottle to the customer.

Highlights of 2014 Performance

•
  The Company generated the second highest Free Cash Flow1 ("FCF") in company history, at $329 million. The strong U.S. dollar led to a $40 million headwind to FCF in 2014 when compared to 2013, negatively impacting the Company's financial results. On a constant currency basis, FCF would have been approximately $370 million.
•
  The Company continued its disciplined allocation of FCF, with a significant share devoted to improving the financial flexibility of the Company via deleveraging, while also pursuing anti-dilutive share repurchases.
•
  The following graphs show progress made toward increasing FCF and improving the Company's leverage ratio2 in recent years:

Free Cash FIow |  | Leverage Ratio

•
  The Company reported net sales of $6.8 billion. While this was modestly lower than prior year primarily due to currency headwinds, sales in Europe, North America and South America exceeded prior year excluding the impact of foreign currency.

  Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by continuing operating activities less additions to property, plant and equipment (both as determined in accordance with GAAP). See Appendix A for reconciliation of free cash flow to cash provided by continuing operating activities.
2
  Leverage ratio is defined as total debt, less cash, divided by adjusted EBITDA. See Appendix A for adjusted EBITDA reconciliations.

•
  EBIT margin3 at the Company level was essentially in line with prior year, but below target due to EBIT dollars being below target. Buoyed by higher sales and production volumes, Europe and South America significantly expanded their segment operating profit margins.
•
  Return on Invested Capital4 in 2014 increased more than 200 basis points compared with prior year, primarily due to a lower capital base, and was well above the Company's weighted average cost of capital.

Return on Invested Capital

•
  Adjusted net earnings per share5 of $2.63 was modestly higher than the average of the previous four years.
•
  The Company expanded its exposure to the fast growing U.S. beer import market through an agreement with Constellation Brands, Inc. ("CBI") to supply glass containers to CBI's brewery in Mexico that exports the popular Corona, Modelo and Pacifico brands to the United States.

Pay for Performance

During 2014, the Committee continued to emphasize the Company's commitment to aligning pay with performance and creating share owner value. This was accomplished by focusing incentive plan metrics on

  EBIT margin is defined as EBIT, which is consolidated earnings from continuing operations before net interest expense and provision for income taxes, excluding charges for asbestos-related costs, restructuring, asset impairment and other items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations, divided by net sales.

  Return on invested capital is defined as EBIT multiplied by one minus the Company's tax rate (exclusive of items management considers not representative of ongoing operations), divided by total debt and total share owners' equity.

  Adjusted net earnings per share is defined as earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company (diluted) exclusive of items management considers not representative of ongoing operations. See Appendix A for reconciliation of adjusted net earnings to earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company.

22

those operating goals which align best with share owner value and over which management has the greatest influence. These commitments were demonstrated by the following balanced decisions:

•
  Paying 97.5% of the 2014 annual incentive target for Total O-I performance as the Company generated FCF above the maximum performance level and achieved just above the threshold level for net sales and EBIT margin;
•
  Deciding, in consultation with the Company's President, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), to reduce his annual incentive payout funded by financial results by the full 20% individual discretionary portion in order to ensure alignment with share owners' interests and to recognize economic conditions and stock price performance. This yielded a reduced annual incentive payout at 78% of Target (see page 34). This is in contrast with a 2013 payout of 124%;
•
  Awarding 2012-2014 performance share units at 100% of the target, as the Company achieved above the maximum level for return on invested capital for the three-year period, but did not meet the threshold level for adjusted earnings per share;
•
  Reinforcing the performance orientation of the Company's incentive compensation programs by maintaining its practice of granting 50% of the long-term incentive opportunity in the form of performance share units; and
•
  Emphasizing long-term equity-based incentives and requiring a substantial ongoing equity ownership position for executives to align their interests with those of the Company's share owners. In 2014, 66% of the CEO's target total direct pay opportunity was attributable to long-term equity-based incentives, 20% was attributable to annual cash incentives, and 14% was attributable to base salary. In addition, although the CEO must accumulate and hold shares with a value equal to at least five times his base salary, during the 2014 review, he held shares valued at over 30 times his base salary, clearly demonstrating his alignment with the interests of the Company's share owners.

The Committee believes this structure and these outcomes reflect the strong alignment of the Company's executive pay program and share owners' interests.

Mitigation of Risk Exposure and Strategic Organizational and Compensation Changes for 2015

The Committee conducts an annual pay/risk assessment and also took the following actions to further mitigate the Company's level of risk exposure with its compensation practices and processes:

•
  Supported the Board-led, multi-year CEO succession and transition plan by developing a compensation package for the newly appointed Chief Operating Officer ("COO");
•
  Modified equity award agreements to eliminate "single-trigger" accelerated vesting upon a change in control, to require a "double-trigger" or both a change in control and an involuntary termination in order for the equity awards to vest under the Company's broad-based equity plan. This change was effective for awards granted in 2015 and going forward and was made to align with best practices and the long-term interests of the Company's share owners; and
•
  Implemented a compensation recovery (clawback) policy, effective January 2014, to allow the Company to recoup cash and equity incentive compensation that were earned based on inaccurate financial performance resulting in a restatement of results, regardless of fault.

23

Compensation Principles

The Committee approves executive compensation programs that are designed to align executive pay with share owner interests and the annual and longer-term performance of the Company. The Company believes that its executive compensation program strikes the appropriate balance between using responsible, measured pay practices and providing rewards that effectively attract and retain executives while motivating them to create value for the share owners. Key elements of this pay strategy include:

•
  Targeting total direct compensation for the Named Executive Officers ("NEO") at market median pay levels, while also considering internal equity, and regularly evaluating pay versus market practices using comparator company and survey comparisons;
•
  Ensuring that a majority of target compensation for each NEO is in the form of annual and long-term incentives;
•
  Analyzing annually the relationship between executive pay and Company performance to ensure alignment; and
•
  Completing regular risk assessments, taking into consideration the Company's business model, incentive plan design (including mix of incentive vehicles, balance of performance measures, target setting methodology, caps on payouts, etc.) and policies designed to reduce risk (such as stock ownership guidelines, clawback policy, and anti-hedging policy), among other considerations, to evaluate if the Company's compensation program promotes excessive risk taking.

Say on Pay Vote

In their 2014 "Say on Pay" vote, the Company's share owners approved its executive compensation program with a 96% approval rating. The Committee believes that the results of this vote affirmed share owner support of the Company's executive compensation philosophy, policies, and practices and therefore the Company did not make significant changes to its approach in 2014. The Committee continues to believe that, overall, the Company's compensation programs are well aligned with both share owner interests and the competitive market, and are designed to reward overall Company and individual performance. Nonetheless, the Committee and management regularly reviews compensation programs to ensure such alignment continues and make changes as appropriate or necessary.

As the Company believes that an annual "Say on Pay" vote encourages beneficial dialogue on compensation and provides the most consistent and clear communication channel for share owner concerns about executive compensation. The Company will again hold an annual advisory vote in 2015 to approve executive compensation. The Committee will continue to consider the results from this year's and future advisory votes on executive compensation.

24

Compensation and Governance Practices

The Company's executive compensation programs are designed to reflect appropriate governance practices aligned with the needs of the business. Below is a summary of compensation practices the Company has adopted to drive performance and to align with share owner interests, followed by a list of practices the Company does not subscribe to because the Company does not believe they would serve their share owners' long-term interests.

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the material elements of the compensation of the Company's NEOs, the objectives and principles underlying executive compensation programs, the Company's recent compensation decisions, and the factors considered in making those decisions. The Company's NEOs for 2014 were:

Name |  | Position
--- | --- | ---
Albert P. L. Stroucken |  | President, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO")
Stephen P. Bramlage, Jr. |  | Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO")
James W. Baehren |  | Senior Vice President and General Counsel
Erik C. M. Bouts |  | President, O-I Europe
Andres A. Lopez(1) |  | President, O-I Americas

(1)
  Mr. Lopez, who had served as President of O-I South America since 2009, was named President of O-I Americas in August 2014, adding responsibility for O-I's North America operations. On December 18, 2014, the Company named Mr. Lopez, President of Glass Containers and Chief Operating Officer of O-I, effective February 1, 2015.

Assessment of Realizable Pay and Performance

To assess the alignment of historical pay and Company performance the Committee annually compares the Company's performance and the NEOs' pay to pay and performance at the comparator companies.

In assessing pay and performance, the Company's independent compensation advisors, Pay Governance, analyzed the Company's realizable pay and performance relative to comparator companies. Unlike the results reported in the Summary Compensation Table reported on page 50, realizable pay looks at the pay an executive earned or could have earned for a period based on the performance that drove those results. The Committee believes realizable pay is a better gauge for assessing pay and performance than the data found in the Summary Compensation Table, as the Summary Compensation Table definition of total pay includes a mix of some elements that are actual pay, such as salary and annual incentives, and other elements that are accounting estimates of future potential pay, such as performance shares, restricted stock and stock options. Further, annual fluctuations in the discount rate for pension calculations are not part of the pay decision by the Committee and may significantly distort the Summary Compensation Table measure of total pay.

Realizable pay takes into account the actual rewards the Company's CEO and CFO earned from 2011 to 2013: base salaries received by the executive, annual bonuses earned, vesting date value (as opposed to grant date or accounting value used in the Summary Compensation Table) of time-based restricted awards granted during the period, exercise gains realized on options granted during the period and the value of any long-term performance awards made and earned in the three-year period. In addition, realizable pay includes the value of any outstanding (unvested, unexercised or unearned) long-term incentives awarded during the three-year period based on the Company's stock price as of December 31, 2013. The same approach is used to calculate the realizable pay of the CEOs and CFOs at peer companies. This enables the Committee to compare the Company's realizable pay levels with those of peers. As a result, realizable

26

pay relies on information reported in peer company proxies, the latest year for which pay is available being 2013.

In addition to assessing the Company's realizable pay levels relative to peers, the Committee also examined the Company's annual and long-term performance relative to those companies. From a long-term performance perspective, the focus is on relative total shareholders return ("TSR"), which captures the principal goal of the Company's long-term incentive plans—creating value for investors. From an annual or short-term performance perspective, the Company's revenue growth, EBIT margin and cash flow results were evaluated. These results capture the key drivers of the Company's Senior Management Incentive Program ("SMIP"), the annual bonus plan that supports the Company's strategic objectives.

As shown in the following two exhibits, the Company's pay program has produced realizable pay levels relative to peers that are directionally and reasonably aligned with the Company's TSR performance relative to those companies.

CEO REALIZABLE PAY vs TSR: 2011-2013 |  | CFO REALIZABLE PAY vs TSR: 2011-2013

The Committee used a similar methodology in analyzing the pay performance alignment of the Company's annual bonus program. In this case, the actual annual cash compensation paid to the Company's CEO and CFO was compared to that of the peer companies CEOs and CFOs. Actual annual cash compensation equals the individual's base salary for a year plus the bonus they earned for that year's performance. These results were then compared to the Company's performance in revenue growth, EBIT margin and cash flow generation versus peers. As shown in the following exhibit, the Company's actual annual cash compensation rankings have been well aligned with the Company's relative performance as captured by the metrics used in its SMIP.

From these perspectives, the Company believes the pay program produced acceptable outcomes and is supportive of share owners' interests.

Compensation Benchmarking

While realizable pay examines the pay and performance alignment of the Company's program, the Committee annually reviews the competitiveness of the target pay opportunities provided to the Company's senior leadership team (including the CEO and his key direct reports). This review encompasses all elements of target direct compensation: base salary, annual incentives, cash compensation (base salary + annual incentives), long-term incentives ("LTI") and direct compensation (base salary + annual incentives + LTI). In addition, the review examines the mix of total pay (fixed to variable pay, short to long-term compensation and cash to stock compensation) and LTI mix (options versus stock awards and service versus performance-based awards). The objectives of this review are to ensure the program's consistency with the Company's pay philosophy which targets market median, while also considering internal equity.

Market Data

In determining compensation levels for the senior leadership team, the Committee reviews competitive market remuneration data including:

•
  Proxies of companies in the comparator group used to benchmark pay (shown below). Proxy data is only considered for the Company's NEOs.
•
  Surveys published by Hewitt, Mercer and Towers Watson which provide data reflecting the incumbent's functional responsibilities and the appropriate revenue scope (corporate or region) of their operating unit.

28

Compensation packages for Messrs. Stroucken, Bramlage, Baehren, and Lopez are compared to market data for the United States. The compensation package for Mr. Bouts is compared to market data for Switzerland.

Comparator Group Companies

The group of comparator companies is selected primarily from companies in the packaging and manufacturing sectors that resemble the Company in size, business profile, global presence, asset intensity, and other relevant factors.

No changes were made to the comparator group in 2014.

Compensation Program Overview

Total Direct Compensation

Total direct compensation is the combination of base pay, annual incentive and long-term incentives. Although the Company's pay philosophy targets market median, while also considering internal equity, an NEO's total direct compensation opportunity may be higher or lower than the market 50th percentile based on individual performance, experience, past leadership roles, potential and Company performance. In making compensation decisions, the Committee considers each of these factors and the NEO's total direct compensation to ensure overall alignment with the Company's compensation philosophy and principles.

29

It is the Company's philosophy that a significant portion of the target compensation opportunity provided to the NEOs be "variable" or "at risk"—based on Company performance and/or the price of the Company's stock. Based on compensation packages in effect on December 31, 2014, the CEO had 86% of his target total direct compensation "at risk" and the other NEOs had approximately 67% of their target total direct compensation "at risk." The Company has no prescribed pay mix that drives compensation decisions. The resulting pay mix is based on the Company's pay philosophy, market pay data used to establish individual executive's compensation and internal equity pay considerations.

The Committee strives to achieve alignment between executive pay and performance by establishing and adhering to a fair and performance-oriented rewards philosophy/strategy, setting appropriate performance objectives, and regularly testing the relationship between pay and performance.

Base Pay

The base pay program is designed to ensure the Company's ability to attract and retain key executives. The Committee reviews NEO salaries and pay positioning at least once per year, and may adjust salaries according to current market conditions, Company performance, individual performance, previous experience, future potential and the results of benchmarking against market data.

30

Merit pay budgets are set annually based on external labor market trends, business performance, inflation and other pertinent factors. In 2014, the merit budget was 2.8% for the United States and 1.5% for Switzerland. After considering the factors listed above, the Committee approved a base pay increase at the beginning of 2014 consistent with the merit budget increase for Messrs. Stroucken, Baehren, Bouts and Lopez. Mr. Bramlage's salary was increased by 10% in order to reflect market median for his position and recognize his time in the role as well as his overall level of performance.

During the course of 2014, Mr. Lopez received subsequent base pay increases of 14% (effective July 17, 2014) and 8.7% (effective January 1, 2015) as a result of his promotion to President, O-I Americas and assumption of additional responsibilities resulting from the new role.

Annual Incentive

The annual incentive is designed to promote the achievement of short-term financial results and motivate individual performance.

Measures

The Committee reviews and approves the measures for the SMIP each year. For 2014, the Committee decided to continue to use FCF (Segment Cash for the regions), EBIT margin and net sales as it has since 2011, as the Committee believes these measures reflect the needs of the business as well as the drivers of share owner value.

The measures used in the 2014 SMIP are shown on the following table:

Measure |  | Definition
--- | --- | ---
FCF (Adjusted for Total O-I; Segment Cash for Regions) |  | Cash provided by continuing operating activities less additions to property, plant and equipment from continuing operations, adjusted for changes in foreign currency exchange rates and for payments made beyond the Company's annual statutory requirements for pensions that were not included in the Company's budget.
EBIT Margin |  | EBIT, which is consolidated earnings from continuing operations before net interest expense and provision for income taxes, excluding charges for asbestos-related costs, restructuring, asset impairment and other items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations, divided by net sales.
Net Sales |  | Third party net sales as reported annually in the Company's Consolidated Results of Operations, adjusted for changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

The impact of acquisitions is excluded in calculating the results against each performance measure. The Committee believes the plan measures align with the Company's strategic objectives and share owner value creation based on discussions with its investors and supported by analyses of short- and long-term value creation. If the Company performs well on these measures, the Committee expects that share owners will have the opportunity to benefit from the value created.

31

Determining Performance Targets and Measure Weights

The Committee reviews and approves the financial targets and measure weightings set for each plan year after considering the overall Company budget (as approved by the Board of Directors), the state of the industry and other external economic factors, for the Company overall, as well as for each business unit. Performance is based on absolute performance, as opposed to relative performance against peers, as relative performance is difficult for the Company since there are no other comparator group companies focusing exclusively on producing glass containers.

When setting the targets, the Company conducts a difficulty assessment from various perspectives, including the Company's historic payout results, as well as a comparison of proposed goals versus: previous goals, public guidance, analyst estimates for the Company and its peers, and historic performance of the Company and its peers. Weightings for each region were determined by considering the 2014 strategy and business plan for that region.

The Company must exceed performance thresholds against established targets for FCF, EBIT margin and net sales in order to fund an annual incentive pool. Each measure stands alone and may result in incentive pool funding, up to the performance maximum established for each measure.

Individual Award Determination

The awards for Messrs. Stroucken, Bramlage, and Baehren were determined by the financial results of the Company as a whole. In order to provide an incentive for regional performance in addition to the performance of the Company as a whole, the award for the business unit Presidents was based 50% on the financial results of the Company as a whole and 50% on the performance targets and actual results of their business unit. Mr. Lopez's award was determined based on his time as both President of O-I South America and as President of O-I Americas (overseeing operations for both North America and South America). The portion of his target award related to the incremental compensation he received for assuming responsibility for North America operations was based 50% on the financial results of the Company as a whole and 50% on the performance targets and actual results of the North America business unit.

33

Once the award pool is funded, 80% of each participant's award is determined based on financial results, while the Committee can adjust the remaining 20% based on the achievement of personal objectives.

The Committee, with Mr. Stroucken's input, reduced his annual incentive payout by the full 20% individual discretionary portion to align with share owners' interests and to recognize economic conditions and stock price performance.

Individual Target Opportunities and 2014 SMIP Payouts

Target awards for each NEO are expressed as a percentage of annual earnings based on market competitiveness and considering the Company's overall median pay philosophy. Achievement of threshold financial performance would imply funding of 0% of the target opportunity, while maximum performance would yield a payout of 200% of the target. Target bonuses are sufficient to produce median cash compensation (salary + annual incentives) if earned, with maximum bonuses capable of producing top quartile pay if maximum performance goals are achieved. If no bonus is paid, pay for the Company's NEO would rank in the market's bottom quartile on a cash compensation basis.

For 2014, the individual target opportunities and payouts based on the 2014 performance were as follows:

Name |  | Target |  | Actual Payout |  | Actual Payout |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
|  | (% of annual earnings) |  | (% of annual earnings) |  | (% of target) |
Albert P. L. Stroucken(1) |  | 150% |  |  | 117.0 | % |  | 78.0 | %
Stephen P. Bramlage, Jr. |  | 75% |  |  | 73.1 | % |  | 97.5 | %
James W. Baehren |  | 65% |  |  | 63.4 | % |  | 97.5 | %

As stated above, the payout for Mr. Lopez reflects the portion of the year he spent as President of O-I South America and the portion of the year he served as President of O-I Americas.

SMIP Payout History

The Company believes it sets reasonably demanding goals. This is supported by the recent payout history of SMIP. Over the past five years, SMIP payouts for Total O-I have ranged from 0% to 124% of target, based on the performance levels achieved, with the payout average near 75%. Furthermore, the pay and performance analyses of the Company's actual cash compensation further support this belief.

34

Long-Term Incentives

Long-term incentive compensation ("LTI") is delivered solely in the form of equity, which serves to further align NEOs' interests with share owner interests. This component of the executive compensation package rewards each NEO's current contributions to the Company, provides motivation to achieve the Company goals, drives share owner value over time and is an important retention tool.

Equity Grant Practices

The Committee has established a formal process to govern equity grants. The same process is used for all employees receiving equity grants, including the NEOs. Each December, the Committee is asked to determine the overall amount (dollar value) of equity available for awards during the upcoming year's grant cycle. In making a proposal to the Committee, the Company reviews prior year grants, current competitive market data, run rate and total potential dilution data, and each executive officer's overall compensation package in relation to the market.

Once the overall amount of equity available is determined, the CEO makes individual award recommendations for each senior executive. These recommendations are presented to the Committee for review and approval. The Committee works with the executive compensation consultant to determine the grant value for the CEO using the same general criteria.

The option strike price is determined on the date the awards are approved by the Committee and is set at the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of approval (or the last business day prior to the grant date if the grant date falls on a non-business day).

The Committee has established a common grant date of March 7 of each year as the date of grant for annual equity awards. This date falls outside of the quarterly blackout periods prescribed under the Addendum to Insider Trading Policy applicable to all NEOs. In addition, a common grant date minimizes the perception of market timing.

LTI Mix

The Company's long-term incentive vehicle mix is balanced between performance- and time-based vehicles and between full-value and appreciation vehicles. NEOs receive a combination of performance share units, stock options and restricted stock units. Beginning in 2012, the Committee elected to increase

35

the portion of the award delivered in the form of performance share units to 50% in order to further focus executives on achieving long-term financial goals, reduce potential dilution, and better manage the Company's share reserve. The remainder of the targeted LTI value is balanced between stock options and restricted stock units and is intended to balance incentive opportunities with share owner alignment and retention considerations. The Committee believes that delivering the award value via three forms of equity provides a balanced incentive program that also limits compensation plan risk. The allocation among the three forms of equity incentives is as follows:

Performance share units and stock options have a strong pay for performance orientation. They are a large enough portion of overall potential compensation to have a meaningful impact on the NEO's total realized compensation depending on Company performance and total share owner return. Restricted stock units are intended to foster long-term retention of the Company's NEOs, while still providing alignment of compensation with share owners. The use and overall weighting of performance share units focus executives on fundamental long-term financial goals in addition to stock price performance. This combination of long-term incentive awards, along with the Company stock ownership guidelines (described below), promotes alignment with share owner interests.

Individual Award Opportunities

Each year, the Committee determines an overall equity award, expressed as a dollar amount, based on median market data for each NEO. Individual awards may vary based on performance, leadership, potential, time in the role and other relevant factors. When making grant decisions, the Committee focuses on the dollar value of the award for each NEO, and also considers the overall dilutive impact of shares granted to the entire employee population.

The Committee's review of market practices indicated that the targeted LTI award for Mr. Bramlage was below market-level, resulting in target total direct compensation below the market median. Based on that review, the Committee increased the 2014 LTI award for Mr. Bramlage to continue to bring him closer to market level, as the Committee has been doing since Mr. Bramlage assumed the CFO role in 2012. Based on the market data, individual and Company performance (including relative share owner return and other relevant metrics) and executive retention concerns, the Committee approved the other NEOs receiving equity grants with the following fair market values that approximate market median values and

36

can produce target total direct compensation (salary + target annual incentives and target LTI award value) that also approximates market median:

Name |  | Target Award Value |
--- | --- | --- | ---
Albert P. L. Stroucken |  | $ | 5,245,000 |
Stephen P. Bramlage, Jr. |  |  | 1,000,000 |
James W. Baehren |  |  | 600,000 |
Erik C. M. Bouts |  |  | 500,000 |
Andres A. Lopez(1) |  |  | 500,000 |

(1)
  At the time of the March 7th, 2014 grant Mr. Lopez's target award value was $500,000. Mr. Lopez received an additional LTI award valued at $250,000 on November 3, 2014 to recognize additional responsibilities he assumed upon his promotion to President, O-I Americas. The additional $250,000 was intended to bring the total LTI award value for 2014 to $750,000, closer to the market target for the new role, as well as to provide an additional retention incentive for Mr. Lopez, who has been identified as a candidate for CEO succession.

The amount ultimately earned under this plan for stock options and restricted stock units will be a result of the performance of the Company's stock. The amount earned for performance share units will be a result of the performance of the Company's stock as well as the Company's performance against pre- established three-year financial goals.

Stock Options

To determine the number of stock options awarded, 25% of the total LTI award value is divided by the Black-Scholes value of the option on the date of the grant. For example, assuming an overall LTI award of $100,000, Common Stock price of $30.00, and Black-Scholes value of the option of $14.00, the number of options granted would be calculated as follows:

$100,000 X 25% = $25,000 / $14.00 = 1,786 options

Stock options granted under the LTI program vest 25% on each of the four anniversaries following the grant date. The options expire after a term of seven years.

Restricted Stock Units

To determine the number of restricted stock units awarded, 25% of the total LTI award value is divided by the Common Stock price on the date of grant. For example, assuming an overall total LTI award of $100,000 and Common Stock price of $30.00, the number of restricted stock units granted would be calculated as follows:

$100,000 X 25% = $25,000 / $30.00 = 833 restricted stock units

Restricted stock units vest 25% on each of the four anniversaries following the grant date.

37

Performance Share Units

Performance share units ("PSUs") are meant to reward financial performance of the Company over a three-year cycle. The PSUs are entirely based on the financial performance of the Company as a whole (total or consolidated O-I results) with no portion of the award based on regional or individual performance, as this increases the focus on long-term results that drive share owner value. Grants made in 2012 had a performance cycle of January 1, 2012—December 31, 2014; 2013 grants have a performance cycle of January 1, 2013—December 31, 2015; and 2014 grants have a performance cycle of January 1, 2014—December 31, 2016.

Aside from certain exceptions, performance share units do not vest until the end of the related performance period, subject to achievement of the pre-established goals. The performance criteria for each three-year performance cycle are approved by the Committee at the grant date. The performance share units granted in 2012, 2013 and 2014 measure the Company's performance over three-year periods based on the measures shown in the following table.

Measure |  | Weight |  | Definition
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Return on Invested Capital ("ROIC") |  | 50% |  | EBIT, times one minus the Company's tax rate (excluding items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations), divided by the sum of total debt and total share owners' equity. For the performance share units granted in 2013 and 2014, the Committee elected to hold constant Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI") for the three-year performance period (AOCI includes effects of currency and pension asset/liability changes).
Adjusted Net Earnings per Share ("EPS") |  | 50% |  | Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to the Company before items that are not representative of ongoing operations. For the performance share units granted in 2012, 2013, and 2014, the Committee elected to exclude the effect of non-service pension costs from the EPS calculation.

The basic rationale for the Committee's decision to hold constant AOCI for the ROIC calculation was to choose an LTI design that provides reward opportunities based on factors participants can control and to eliminate significant effects of factors outside their control.

The ROIC and EPS measures are equally weighted. The threshold, target and maximum values for the performance criteria are determined considering the Company's true cost of capital and market expectations for earnings growth. When setting the targets, the Company conducts a difficulty assessment from various perspectives, including the Company's historic payout results, as well as a comparison of proposed goals versus: previous goals, public guidance, analyst estimates, historic performance, peer historic performance and analyst estimates for peers.

No award is earned if performance against both measures is below the threshold performance level relative to the targets established by the Committee for the three-year period. If performance against

38

either or both of the targets meets or exceeds the threshold level, NEOs can earn from 0% to 200% of the award granted. The Committee reviews audited financial results prior to determining the amount of any award earned under this plan, and there is no discretion applied to individual payout amounts.

To determine the number of performance share units to grant, 50% of the total LTI award value is divided by the Common Stock price on the date of grant. For example, assuming an overall LTI award with a value of $100,000 and Common Stock price of $30.00, the number of performance share units granted would be calculated as follows:

$100,000 X 50% = $50,000 / $30.00 = 1,667 performance share units

If the performance goals are met at the end of the performance period, performance share units are paid out in an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock.

PSU 2012-14 cycle results

For the 2012-2014 performance cycle, performance was above the maximum payout level for ROIC and below the minimum payout threshold for EPS. Total LTI payout was therefore 100%.

|  | Weight |  | Threshold |  | Target |  | Maximum |  | Actual |  | Weighted Payout (as % of Target Award) |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
ROIC |  |  | 50 | % |  | 9.29 | % |  | 11.29 | % |  | 12.29 | % |  | 13.24 | % |  | 100.0 | %
EPS |  |  | 50 | % | $ | 3.04 |  | $ | 3.22 |  | $ | 3.60 |  | $ | 2.62 |  |  | 0.0 | %
Total Payout (as % of Target Award) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 100.0 | %

PSU Payout History

Since the Company's PSU's are truly performance based, the target levels established at the beginning of each performance period represent goals that are challenging to achieve and that incorporate growth over prior years; threshold performance is set at prior period's actual performance level, so no awards are paid unless performance improves. Over the past five years, PSU payouts have ranged from 0% to 100% of target, based on the performance levels achieved. The payout average over the past five years was near 45%.

2015 Special Equity Awards to Recognize 2014 Performance

After considering the Company's performance and key contributions of the NEOs in 2014, the Committee decided to provide the NEOs (excluding Mr. Bouts, who had left the Company, and, at his recommendation, Mr. Stroucken) with a grant of restricted stock units on March 7, 2015, in addition to the regular annual equity awards. In particular, the Committee considered the generation of the second highest FCF in company history ($329 million), despite the negative effect by the strong U.S. dollar, the significant achievement of challenging cost-cutting goals, and better management of working capital that drove share owner value creation.

The number of restricted stock units granted was determined based on a value of approximately one-third of the NEO's annual incentive target. This value was selected because it provided a meaningful award to the executives without undermining the cash flow growth and cost cutting achieved. The restricted stock units vest in 50% increments over two years to provide additional retention.

As the Company believes it has been successful in instilling the need for cost control as a permanent part of the Company's culture, the Committee does not intend to grant any special equity awards related to superior FCF performance in the future.

Double Trigger Change in Control Vesting for Equity Awards

The Company eliminated "single-trigger" accelerated vesting upon a change in control and now requires a "double-trigger" or both a change in control and an involuntary termination in order for the equity awards to vest under the Company's broad-based equity plan. This change was effective for awards granted in 2015 and going forward and was made to align with best practices and the long-term interests of the Company's share owners.

Stock Ownership and Share Retention Guidelines

The Company has stock ownership guidelines for all of the NEOs. The guidelines are as follows:

•
  Chairman & Chief Executive Officer—5 times base salary
•
  Senior Business / Function Leaders—2.5 times base salary
•
  Other Key Leaders (as designated by CEO)—1.5 times base salary

The guidelines state that the targeted level of ownership must be achieved within five years of the time the individual becomes subject to the guidelines. Under these guidelines, shares owned outright, outstanding restricted stock/units, performance share awards (at target) and 401(k) holdings all count as shares owned. In addition, the Committee has share retention guidelines. These guidelines state that until the stock ownership guidelines are met, NEOs are required to retain 75% of the "net profit shares" acquired from option exercises, or vested restricted stock units or performance share units. Net profit shares are those shares remaining after payment of tax obligations and, if applicable, option exercise costs.

The Committee reviews ownership levels for executive officers on an annual basis. Failure to comply with the stock ownership and retention guidelines may result in delays of promotions and / or future compensation increases.

Ownership achievement against guidelines is measured at June 30 each calendar year, based on a 200-day moving average of the stock price. For 2014, all of the NEOs significantly exceeded their current ownership guidelines, except Mr. Bouts who has subsequently left the organization, as shown below:

|  | Expected Ownership Level (as a multiple of salary) |  | Actual Ownership Level June 30, 2014 (as a multiple of salary)
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Albert P. L. Stroucken |  | 5.0 × salary |  | 32.2 × salary
Stephen P. Bramlage, Jr. |  | 2.5 × salary |  | 4.1 × salary
James W. Baehren |  | 2.5 × salary |  | 8.6 × salary
Erik C. M. Bouts |  | 2.5 × salary |  | 1.5 × salary
Andres A. Lopez |  | 2.5 × salary |  | 3.6 × salary

Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policies

In 2013, the Company amended the Addendum to Insider Trading Policy to further tighten controls by prohibiting the Company's directors, executive officers and other covered personnel from hedging their ownership of Company stock, including trading in publicly-traded options, puts, calls, or other derivative instruments related to Company stock or debt or from pledging the Company's securities without first obtaining approval from the Company's General Counsel (with notification to the Committee).

41

Compensation Recovery (Clawback) Policy

In January 2014, the Company adopted a Compensation Recovery Policy to allow the Company to recoup cash and equity incentive compensation that was granted, received, vested or accrued during the prior three-year period and based on inaccurate financial performance resulting in a restatement of results, regardless of fault. This policy applies to any current or former officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who reports or reported to the CEO.

Risk Assessment

The Committee conducts an annual risk assessment of the Company's executive compensation practices and the relationship between its executive compensation program design and organizational risk. This risk assessment concluded that the Company employed no executive compensation practices in relation to organizational risk that would cause significant share owner concern. In light of this study, the Company also conducted an enterprise risk assessment of its compensation programs and policies from legal, human resources, auditing and risk management perspectives, the results of which were reviewed and discussed with the Committee. Based on both of these assessments, the Company concluded that its compensation programs and practices are not reasonably likely to have a future material adverse effect on the Company.

In reaching this conclusion, the Company took into account that several items mitigate the Company's level of risk exposure, such as:

•
  The Company's business model and related incentive plans are generally consistent across all of its regions; none contributes more than half of the Company's revenues or operating profits;
•
  The Company has a balanced mix of LTI vehicles and its pay mix is generally consistent with peer practices;
•
  There is a direct cap on payouts (i.e. 200% of target for SMIP and 200% of target for performance share units) and the Committee has the ability to adjust performance goals and bonus payouts to help limit risk;
•
  Short-term and long-term incentive plans incorporate multiple performance measures that balance growth, profitability, cash generation and capital efficiency;
•
  Target setting considers internal budgeting and external market factors;
•
  Multiple LTI equity vehicles, stock ownership guidelines and share retention requirements align the interests of NEOs and share owners;
•
  There is a compensation recovery (clawback) policy that allows the Company to recoup cash and equity incentive compensation that was earned based on inaccurate financial performance resulting in a restatement of results, regardless of fault;
•
  The Company has double trigger change in control vesting for equity awards, beginning with awards made in 2015;
•
  An anti-hedging policy, as well as a pre-clearance policy regarding equity transactions (including pledging), help prevent material adverse risk; and

42

•
  The Committee regularly reviews executive stock ownership, plane usage and other governance topics.

Regulatory Considerations

The Company's incentive compensation programs have been designed and administered in a manner generally intended to preserve federal income tax deductions. However, the Committee considers the tax and accounting consequences of utilizing various forms of compensation and retains the discretion to pay compensation that is not tax deductible or could have adverse accounting consequences for the Company.

Employment Agreements

The Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Stroucken with an effective date of December 4, 2006, the terms of which were disclosed on Form 8- K/A filed November 28, 2006. This agreement was amended and restated with an effective date of January 1, 2012, the terms of which were disclosed on Form 8-K dated October 26, 2011. The Company has entered into severance agreements with certain officers, including the other NEOs listed in the Summary Compensation Table. These agreements entitle the participants to receive their base salaries and to participate in designated benefit plans of the Company in the event of a not-for-cause termination of the participant. The agreements provide for termination of employment at any time, with or without cause, and further provide that the benefit plans designated therein and each employee's rights to receive salary and bonuses pursuant thereto are subject to modification by the Company in its sole discretion.

Health and Welfare and Retirement Benefits

The Company maintains a comprehensive health and welfare benefits plan for all its U.S.-based employees. The benefits offered to U.S. executive officers under this plan are essentially the same as those offered to all U.S.-based salaried employees of the Company.

The Company also maintains supplemental whole life insurance benefits for its NEOs who were hired prior to 2006, Messrs. Baehren and Lopez. Six months and one day after retirement, the paid-up policy is distributed to the NEO. The retiring NEO also receives a tax reimbursement for the value of the policy. In 2006, the Company closed this plan to new entrants. NEOs hired after December 31, 2005, Messrs. Stroucken, Bramlage and Bouts, are covered by a term life policy. The term life policy may be converted, at the participant's expense, to an individual policy upon termination or retirement, subject to the terms and conditions of the insurance company.

The Owens-Illinois Salary Retirement Plan (a defined benefit pension plan) was closed to new entrants after December 31, 2004. Also effective December 31, 2004, the Company changed the way that benefits can be paid. Benefits accrued at December 31, 2004 are eligible to be paid in a lump sum upon retirement at the option of the participant. Benefits accrued post- December 31, 2004, however, are eligible to be paid only on an annuity basis. The Company announced in November of 2014 that the Salary Retirement Plan will be frozen as of December 31, 2015. Participants will maintain benefits accrued as of the freeze date, but will not accrue additional benefits beyond the freeze date. Additionally, the lump sum payment option will apply to the total accrued benefit for active and deferred vested participants who commence their benefit January 1, 2016 or later.

As a qualified plan, benefits under the Owens-Illinois Salary Retirement Plan are limited by IRS regulations. For those U.S. employees who earn compensation in excess of IRS limits, the Company

43

maintains an unfunded Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan ("SRBP"). This plan allows for benefits in excess of the IRS limits to be accrued and paid to participants upon retirement. In this way, it enables participants to earn the same retirement benefits (as a percentage of income) as other associates who earn compensation below the IRS limits. As a non-qualified plan, all payments are made in a lump sum out of the general assets of the Company. Mr. Stroucken accrues a benefit under this plan pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement. Mr. Baehren has a Secular Trust. The secular trust life insurance policy is designed to provide a cash accumulation for the participant's benefit equal, on an after-tax basis, to 70% of the Supplemental Retirement Plan benefit at the later of three policy years or attainment of age 62.

The Stock Purchase and Savings Program ("SPASP") is a defined contribution plan provided under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions to the plan are subject to annual limits established by the IRS. While employees may direct their own contributions into a number of provided investments, the Company match is made in Common Stock. The match is immediately vested, and participants can move the match out of Common Stock, and into any of the other investments, at any time, subject to blackout periods and other trading window restrictions. For participants hired after December 31, 2004 who are not eligible to participate in the Owens-Illinois Salary Retirement Plan, the Company also makes a base contribution to the SPASP each payroll period, which is invested in the same investment options selected by the participants for their own contributions.

For those U.S. employees who are limited in the amount that they may defer to the qualified SPASP due to the IRS limits and who meet certain base pay requirements, the Company maintains an unfunded Executive Deferred Savings Plan ("EDSP"). This plan allows for deferrals on a pre-tax basis. The investment funds available are the same as those in the SPASP, with the exception of grandfathered deferrals into the cash account (for Mr. Baehren).

Other Benefits

The Company provides limited perquisites to the NEOs that the Committee has determined to be competitive with the practices of the comparator group companies. These perquisites include an automobile allowance (for Messrs. Stroucken and Baehren only), leased vehicle (for Mr. Bouts only), executive physicals, financial planning and tax preparation, and restricted personal use of the Company aircraft (for Mr. Stroucken only).

Due to existing contractual arrangements, gross-ups on payments made for executive life insurance and secular trust benefits have been continued only for those participants already covered by such benefits. Mr. Baehren is eligible for tax gross-up on the annual economic value of an executive life insurance benefit and on payments made into his secular trust arrangement. Mr. Lopez is eligible for tax gross-up on the annual economic value of an executive life insurance benefit. These benefits are not available to new entrants. The Committee had previously reviewed the existing arrangements and determined that it was not in the share owners' best interest to incur the costs to eliminate these contractually based benefits for those who were eligible.

The Company previously eliminated all tax gross-ups on personal use of Company aircraft, financial planning and tax preparation.

Roles and Responsibilities

There are many inputs to the executive compensation process, as well as the appropriate governance and compliance mechanisms. In general, the Committee has primary responsibility for discharging the Board's responsibilities relating to compensation of the Company's executive officers. When appropriate, the Committee holds executive sessions without management present (including the CEO). See description of the Committee above under the heading "Board and Committee Membership."

Executive Compensation Consultant

To assist the Committee in carrying out its duties and responsibilities, the Committee engages the services of an executive compensation consultant. The consultant provides the Committee with competitive market compensation data for senior executives and information on current issues and trends on executive compensation program design and governance; advises the Committee on the overall design and implementation of the Company's executive compensation programs, and provides various analyses related

46

to incentive plan structure and award levels; assists with proxy disclosure requirements; and provides ongoing advice to the Committee on regulatory and other technical developments that may affect the Company's executive compensation programs.

During 2014 specifically, the compensation consultant supported the Committee by: (i) providing competitive market data on compensation for executives; (ii) conducting the study on historical pay and performance versus the Company's comparator group; (iii) providing advice with respect to executive compensation matters, including annual and long-term incentive programs, share utilization and pay mix; (iv) conducting a risk assessment of the Company's compensation practices, as discussed previously; and (v) advising the Committee about regulatory and legislative updates.

In its capacity as the executive compensation consultant to the Committee, the consultant reports directly to the Committee and the Committee retains sole authority to retain and terminate the consulting relationship. In carrying out its responsibilities, the executive compensation consultant will typically collaborate with management to obtain data, provide background on program history and operation, and clarify pertinent information. Working under the Committee's direction, both the Committee and management will review and discuss key issues and alternatives during the development of recommendations and prior to presentation for final approval.

During 2014 the Committee engaged both Mercer and Pay Governance as its executive compensation consultants. As part of the Committee's governance of the executive pay program and the processes supporting it, the Committee periodically assesses proposals from consulting firms to support the Committee and management. Such an assessment was conducted in 2014 and lead to the Committee changing consultants in May 2014 to Pay Governance. The fees paid to Mercer and to Pay Governance for providing such consulting services to the Committee in 2014 were $91,083 and $248,800, respectively.

With the full knowledge of the Committee, the Company also previously engaged Mercer to provide other consulting services to the Company from time to time. Accordingly, the Committee and Mercer agreed upon certain specific protocols, including reporting relationships, sharing of information and recommendations with management, and the role and responsibilities of the lead executive compensation consultant, to avoid the potential for conflicts of interest. Management did not use Mercer for executive compensation advice. The Committee received annual information relating to all services that Mercer provided to the Company and fees that Mercer received for such services. The aggregate fees for Mercer's consulting services to the Company (other than those for executive compensation consulting services to the Committee) for 2014 were $37,713. The aggregate fees for services provided by MMCo (Mercer's parent company) affiliate, Marsh, for 2014 were $5,330.

The Company does not engage Pay Governance or any of its affiliates with respect to any consulting services.

The Committee also reviewed the nature of and extent of the relationship between the Committee, the Company and its compensation consultants and the individuals at each consulting firm providing advice to the Committee and the Company with respect to any potential conflicts of interest. The Committee considered the following six factors in its evaluation:

•
  provision of other services by the consulting firm;
•
  amount of fees paid by the Company to the consulting firm, and those fees as a percentage of total revenue paid to all affiliates;

47

•
  the policies and procedures that each consultant has in place to prevent conflicts of interest;
•
  any business or personal relationships of the consultant with any members of the Committee;
•
  any Company stock held by any of the individual consultants responsible for providing compensation advice to the Committee; and
•
  any business or personal relationships between Company executives and the compensation consulting firm.

Based on that review, the Committee believes that there are no conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest that would unduly influence either Mercer's or Pay Governance's provision to the Committee of candid, direct and objective advice that is independent of management, and that the advice received by the Committee is not influenced by any other economic relationship that either firm, or any of the individuals at either firm responsible for providing compensation advice to the Committee, has with the Company. To ensure ongoing independence and objectivity of advice, the executive compensation consultant:

•
  is engaged by and reports directly to the Committee and its Chair;
•
  can be terminated only by the Committee or its Chair;
•
  meets as needed with the Committee in executive sessions that are not attended by any of the Company's officers;
•
  has direct access to all members of the Committee during and between meetings;
•
  does not permit the individuals responsible for providing compensation advice to the Committee to act as the client relationship manager of his/her firm with regards to other business for the Company; and
•
  cannot directly, or indirectly, through a member of the consulting team, participate in any activities related to other consulting services provided to the Company.

Outside Legal Counsel

When appropriate, the Committee engages the services of outside legal counsel for providing advice where regular internal Company counsel may have conflicts.

Chief Executive Officer

The Company's CEO attends Committee meetings and is responsible for providing relevant input on the compensation elements of the executive officers, including individual performance input, and making specific recommendations on base salaries, annual and long-term incentives and promotions.

The CEO is also responsible for discussing the key business drivers behind the executive compensation results, including the establishment of the plan metrics, and periodically discussing the results achieved against those metrics. The CEO is excluded from executive sessions and from discussions involving his compensation.

48

Senior Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer

The Senior Vice President and Chief Administrative Cfficer ("SVP CAO") is responsible for coordinating Committee activities including: proposing meeting agendas based on the Committee's planning calendar and decision-making responsibility; arranging for meetings outside of the normal meeting cycle as appropriate; assisting with the coordination of the work done by the Committee's executive compensation consultant; and preparing appropriate materials for review by the Committee. The SVP CAO follows up on meeting action items and other assignments from the Committee and is available for consultation with the Committee as needed.

In this role, the SVP CAO normally consults with the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel and the Secretary. Each may be asked to prepare information for Committee review, attend Committee meetings as appropriate, and provide relevant background information for inclusion in Committee materials.

Other Executive Officers

The Company's Chief Financial Officer prepares and provides all financial results to the Committee as necessary to determine achievement against goals in the various incentive compensation plans. At the Committee's request, the Chief Financial Officer provides commentary, discusses overall results providing appropriate information relative to achievement (or under or over achievement as may be the case), and plays an active role in development of the goals presented for approval in incentive compensation plan design.

The General Counsel participates in Committee meetings and is responsible for providing relevant legal advice to the Committee on its executive compensation plans, and ensuring compliance with all appropriate regulations, including SEC and IRS regulations, that impact executive compensation.

The Secretary also participates in Committee meetings, taking appropriate minutes to preserve a record of discussion and actions.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management. Based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement and incorporated by reference into the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

  Participants may defer up to 100% of base salary into the Executive Deferred Savings Plan. Deferrals made prior to January 1, 2009, including the Company match on such deferrals, could be credited to a "cash deferral account" or a "stock deferral account" at the individual's election. Interest is credited in the "cash" account, compounded monthly, at a rate equal to the average annual yield on domestic corporate bonds of Moody's A-rated companies. The "stock" account is credited with a number of stock units equal in value to the amount specified to be credited to each respective account, and the value of such account is determined by reference to the closing price of the Company's stock on the principal exchange on which Company stock is traded on the day before the date on or as of which such value is being determined or, if no Company stock was traded on such day, then on the next preceding trading day on which Company stock was so traded. Deferrals after December 31, 2008, including the Company match on such deferrals, are credited to the same funds available under the Company's qualified 401(k) plan. Upon any termination of employment, the account balance is paid out in its entirety as soon as practical following such termination.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL

The following tables show the amount of compensation that may be paid to each NEO upon voluntary termination, early retirement, normal retirement, involuntary termination not for cause, Change in Control, for cause termination, disability, or death. The amounts shown assume a termination date effective December 31, 2014, the last business day of the year. For payments made pursuant to stock options, restricted stock, or performance shares, the amount earned by each NEO upon retirement differs whether they are eligible for early or normal retirement. As a result, the table reflects only that amount they were eligible for at December 31, 2014.

Unless specifically noted, each of the payments described below is the same for any salaried employee of the Company.

Payments Made Upon Termination

Payments made upon termination for any reason include:

•
  Amounts accrued and vested through the Salary Retirement Plan (SRP), Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan (SRBP) and Swiss Pension Plan.
•
  Equity awards that become vested at the date of termination; stock option awards that were vested but unexercised as of December 31, 2014 were excluded from the values shown.

Payments Made Upon Retirement

In addition to the above, payments made upon retirement include:

•
  In the event of normal retirement (at least age 65 for options granted from 2008 through 2010 and 2014) or early retirement (at least age 60 with at least ten years of service for options granted from 2008 through 2014), options continue normal vesting and are exercisable through their original term.
•
  Unvested restricted stock units granted in 2011 and later continue normal vesting in the event of normal retirement (at least age 65 for restricted stock units granted in 2014) or early retirement (at least age 60 with at least ten years of service granted from 2011 through 2014), for awards granted at least one year prior to the retirement date; restricted stock units granted less than one year prior to the retirement date are forfeited.
•
  In the event of normal retirement (at least age 65 for performance share units granted from 2012 through 2014), or early retirement (post-age 60 with at least ten years of service), performance shares are immediately vested and any payout earned will be paid following the related three-year cycle.
•
  In the event of retirement, Mr. Baehren is currently eligible to participate in the Company's retiree medical plan for U. S. employees. This plan provides pre-age 65 coverage to employees and their spouse. Mr. Lopez will be eligible to participate in the Company's retiree medical plan once he is eligible to retire at age 55 with 10 years of service. The plan is only available to U.S. employees hired prior to January 1, 2003; as a result, Messrs. Stroucken, Bramlage and Bouts are not eligible to participate in this plan.

58

Payments Made Upon Involuntary Termination Not For Cause or Change in Control

In addition to that noted under Payments Made Upon Termination, each NEO is eligible for the following:

•
  In the event of Involuntary Termination Not For Cause, stock options and restricted stock units granted in 2011 and later that are unvested at the time of termination are forfeited.
•
  In the event of Involuntary Termination Not For Cause, there is immediate vesting on a pro rata basis of performance share units, with any payout made after the applicable performance cycle.
•
  In the event of a Change in Control, all restricted stock units and performance share units will fully vest and be paid out (at grant level for performance share units). Stock options have no post Change in Control vesting protection if assumed by acquirer. If not assumed, the options become fully exercisable at least ten days prior to the effective date of a Change in Control and will expire on the effective date of such Change in Control if not exercised.
•
  In the event of Involuntary Termination Not For Cause, Mr. Stroucken is eligible for severance in the amount of two times annual base salary plus target bonus, payable over 24 months and continued health care coverage for 24 months at the same rate as active employees unless enrolled for coverage in another employer's health plan. Such severance is subject to release and continued compliance with a two-year non-compete / non-solicitation and confidentiality requirements.
•
  In the event of a termination without cause within one year after a Change in Control, Mr. Stroucken is eligible for those benefits noted above in the event of Involuntary Termination Not For Cause. Commencing in 2012, under the terms of his new employment agreement, Mr. Stroucken no longer has excise tax gross-up protection.
•
  In the event of Involuntary Termination Not For Cause, Messrs. Bramlage, Baehren and Lopez are eligible for severance in the amount of one times annual base salary (paid via salary continuation), any annual incentive plan awards earned (based on actual business results and funding, not adjusted up or down for the 20% discretionary component) during the severance period (paid via lump sum), and 12 months of continued health and welfare coverage for themselves and their dependents at the same rate as active employees, per the terms of severance agreements entered into between the Company and each executive officer. Such severance is subject to release and continued compliance with a one-year non-compete / non-solicitation agreement.

Payments Made Upon Death or Disability

•
  In the event of Disability, each NEO is eligible to participate in a Company's long-term disability plan for salaried employees. This plan pays participants 60% of their base salary plus target bonus, capped at $15,000 per month, for the duration of their disability, or until age 65.
•
  In the event of Disability, each NEO receives continued coverage under the Company's health care plan for active employees for the duration of their coverage under the Company's long-term disability plan.
•
  In the event of Death or Disability, all stock options, restricted stock and performance shares are immediately vested. Any payout of performance shares is made at the completion of the appropriate performance cycle.

59

•
  The NEOs participate in a life insurance program that differs from that offered to most salaried employees of the Company. For NEOs, the benefit payable to the beneficiary upon death is three times annual base salary.

The following tables represent potential payments to the NEOs under the various termination scenarios. The values assume termination on December 31, 2014.

Assumptions

No pre-retirement mortality is assumed. After retirement, for the portion of the benefit assumed to be received as an annuity, mortality is RP 2014 projected generationally using MP-2014 scale. For the portion of the benefit assumed to be received as a lump sum, the applicable IRS lump sum mortality table is used.

Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan benefits are assumed to be taken as a lump sum. The interest rate used for lump sums is 4.07%.

Benefits Payable

Retirement Plan benefits represent the value of the pension benefits as if the participant left the Company on December 31, 2014 and commenced payment as soon as possible. Since Mr. Stroucken is currently eligible to retire, this value represents commencement at December 31, 2014.

Involuntary Termination Not for Cause severance benefits are subject to execution and non-revocation of a general release on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Company within 60 days following termination date.

Disability benefits represent the value of benefits as if the participant became disabled on December 31, 2014. Pension benefits reflect accrued benefits payable at the later of age 65 or his current age.

60

Death benefits represent the value of benefits as if the participant became deceased on December 31, 2014. Pension benefits reflect an immediate lump sum payable to the spouse equal to the greater of the lump-sum value of the participant's immediate retirement benefit, or the lump-sum value of 25% of the participant's base pay.

Assumptions

Because Mr. Bramlage was not retirement eligible as of December 31, 2014, he would only have been eligible for payments of equity awards under involuntary termination not-for-cause, change in control, disability and death scenarios.

Benefits Payable

Mr. Bramlage is not eligible for the Salary Retirement Plan.

Involuntary Termination Not for Cause severance benefits are subject to execution and non-revocation of a general waiver and release on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Company, a non-compete/non-solicitation agreement, and a non-disparagement agreement within 60 days following termination date.

Assumptions

No pre-retirement mortality is assumed. After retirement, for the portion of the benefit assumed to be received as an annuity, mortality is RP 2014 projected generationally using MP-2014 scale. For the portion of the benefit assumed to be received as a lump sum, the applicable IRS lump-sum mortality table is used.

Salaried benefits accrued prior to 12/31/2004 and all SERP benefits are assumed to be taken as a lump sum. Salaried Plan benefits accrued after 12/31/2004 are assumed to be taken as an annuity. Salary Plan is 4.04%, the interest rate used for lump sums in the SERP is 4.07%, and the interest rate used for the Salary health and welfare benefits is 3.87%.

Mr. Baehren's Salary Plan benefit includes a QSERP of $62,178, and his SERP benefit reflects a $103,000 offset for payments previously received.

Benefits Payable

Termination benefits represent the value of the pension benefits as if the participant terminates on December 31, 2014 and commences payment at normal retirement date. There are no provisions in the pension plans that are contingent on the type of termination. Since retiree health and welfare benefits must be elected immediately or forfeited, no retiree health and welfare benefits are shown.

Retirement benefits represent the value of the pension benefits as if the participant retires on December 31, 2014 and commences payment as soon as possible. Since Mr. Baehren is currently eligible to retire, this value represents commencement at December 31, 2014. The health and welfare benefits represent the value of the postretirement medical and executive retiree life insurance benefits as if the participant retires as of December 31, 2014 and immediately elects coverage.

Involuntary Termination Not for Cause severance benefits are subject to execution and non-revocation of a general waiver and release on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Company, a non-compete/non-solicitation agreement and a non-disparagement agreement within 60 days following termination date.

62

Disability benefits represent the value of benefits as if the participant becomes disabled on December 31, 2014. Pension benefits reflect accrued benefits payable at age 65. Health and welfare benefits represent retiree medical and life insurance benefits commencing at age 65 for those eligible to retire at December 31, 2014.

Death benefits represent the value of benefits as if the participant became deceased on December 31, 2014. Pension benefits reflect an immediate lump sum payable to the spouse equal to the greater of the lump-sum value of the participant's immediate retirement benefit, or the lump sum value of 25% of the participant's earnings. Health and welfare benefits represent retiree medical benefits for the spouse if the participant was retirement eligible as of December 31, 2014.

Erik C. M. Bouts

Mr. Bouts voluntarily resigned from the Company effective January 31, 2015. There were no compensation payments in connection with his resignation from the Company.

Since Mr. Lopez is not eligible for retiree health and welfare benefits on December 31, 2014, no amounts are shown.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

As part of its ongoing activities, which are described under "Proposal 1: Election of Directors, Board Committees, Audit Committee, (see page 14)" the Audit Committee has:

•
  discussed with the Company's director of internal audit and Ernst & Young LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, the overall scope and plans for their respective audits;
•
  reviewed and discussed with management and the independent registered public accounting firm the Company's audited financial statements and the independent registered public accounting firm's evaluation of the Company's system of internal control over financial reporting contained in the 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K;
•
  discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees), as amended by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 90 (Audit Committee Communications), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T, and other professional standards;
•
  received from the independent registered public accounting firm the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent registered public accounting firm's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence;
•
  discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence from the Company and its management; and
•
  met with the director of internal audit and the independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the above matters and the overall quality of the Company's financial reporting.

On the basis of the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2014, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Also, the Audit Committee has selected Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2015.

The Audit Committee also concluded that the independent registered public accounting firm's provision of non-audit services to the Company and its affiliates as described in the following section is compatible with the independent registered public accounting firm's independence.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

In accordance with the SEC's auditor independence rules, the Audit Committee has adopted procedures for pre-approving all non-audit services performed by Ernst & Young LLP. Those procedures are set forth below under the heading "Pre-Approval of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Services."

Fees Paid to Ernst & Young LLP

The aggregate fees for professional services provided by Ernst & Young LLP to the Company in 2014 and 2013 for these various services were:

Type of Fees |  | 2014 |  | 2013 |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
|  | ($ in millions) |
Audit Fees |  | $ | 5.95 |  | $ | 5.59 |
Audit-Related Fees |  |  | 0.37 |  |  | 0.29 |
Tax Fees |  |  | 0.12 |  |  | 0.10 |
All Other Fees |  |  | 0.00 |  |  | 0.02 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Total |  | $ | 6.44 |  | $ | 6.00 |

In the above table: (a) "audit fees" were for the audit and quarterly reviews of the consolidated accounts, attestation report on internal control required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, statutory audits of international subsidiaries, audits of subsidiaries whose securities are pledged as collateral and services related to SEC filings and non-SEC offerings; (b) "audit-related fees" were for audits of employee benefit plans, agreed-upon procedures for third parties and other accounting consultations; (c) "tax fees" were for tax return preparation, federal, state and local tax planning and international tax planning and advice; and (d) "all other fees" were for services related to the Company's relocation of its shared services. All fees for professional services by Ernst & Young LLP were approved in advance under the Board's pre-approval policy.

Pre-Approval of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Services

No services will be provided to the Company that are specifically prohibited by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Permitted services will be pre-approved by the Audit Committee as follows:

Statement of Principles

The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm in order to assure that they do not impair the firm's independence from the Company. Unless a type of service has received pre-approval, it will require separate pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels will also require separate pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

A description of the Audit, Audit-Related, Tax, and All Other services that have the pre-approval of the Audit Committee are found below. For non-audit services, Company management will submit to the Audit Committee for approval a list of non-audit services that it recommends the Audit Committee engage the independent registered public accounting firm to provide for the fiscal year. The term of any pre-approval is for 12 months, unless the Audit Committee considers a different period and states

66

otherwise. The Audit Committee will from time to time review and, if necessary, revise the list of pre-approved services based on subsequent determinations.

Delegation

The Audit Committee may delegate either type of pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member or members to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee does not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm to management.

Audit Services

The annual audit services engagement terms and fees will be subject to separate pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, Company structure or other items.

In addition to the annual audit services engagement approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant pre-approval for other audit services, which are those services that only the independent registered public accounting firm reasonably can provide. Company management will submit to the Audit Committee for approval the list of Audit services that it recommends the Audit Committee engage the independent registered public accounting firm to provide for the fiscal year. All other audit services not pre-approved must be separately pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Audit-Related Services

Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Company's financial statements and that are traditionally performed by the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee believes that the provision of audit-related services does not impair the independence of the firm and is consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor independence.

Company management will submit to the Audit Committee for approval the list of audit-related services that it recommends the Audit Committee engage the independent registered public accounting firm to provide for the fiscal year. All other audit-related services not pre-approved must be separately pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Tax Services

The Audit Committee believes that the independent registered public accounting firm can provide tax services to the Company such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the firm's independence.

Company management will submit to the Audit Committee for approval the list of tax services that it recommends the Audit Committee engage the independent registered public accounting firm to provide for the fiscal year. All tax services involving large and complex transactions not pre-approved must be separately pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

67

All Other Services

The Audit Committee will separately pre-approve those permissible non-audit services classified as "all other services" that it believes are routine and recurring services and would not impair the independence of the firm.

A list of the SEC's prohibited non-audit services is set forth below. The SEC's rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of these services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the prohibitions.

Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Budgeted Amounts

Pre-approval fee levels or budgeted amounts for all services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm will be established periodically by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding these levels or amounts will require separate pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

Procedures

Requests or applications to provide services that require separate approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by the Chief Financial Officer or his designee and must include a statement as to whether the request or application is consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor independence. The Committee will be informed routinely as to the non-audit services actually provided by the independent registered public accounting firm pursuant.

Supporting Documentation

With respect to each proposed pre-approval service, the independent registered public accounting firm will provide to the Audit Committee, as requested, detailed back-up documentation regarding the specific services to be provided.

Prohibited Non-Audit Services

•
  Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the audit client
•
  Financial information systems design and implementation
•
  Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports
•

•
  Broker-dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services

PROPOSAL 2:
RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee has selected Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.

Although the Board is not required to submit the Audit Committee's selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for share owner approval, the Board has elected to seek ratification by the share owners of the Audit Committee's selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2015. In the event the Company's share owners do not ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP, the Audit Committee will reconsider its use of Ernst & Young LLP.

A representative of Ernst & Young LLP is expected to attend the Annual Meeting, and the representative will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires, and will also be available to respond to appropriate questions from share owners.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR 2015.

69

PROPOSAL 3:
ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

The Company is asking its share owners to provide advisory approval of the compensation of its NEOs as described above under the heading "Executive Compensation." While this vote is advisory, and not binding on the Company, it will provide information to the Compensation Committee regarding investor sentiment about the Company's executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices, which the Compensation Committee will consider when determining executive compensation for the remainder of 2015 and beyond. The Compensation Committee approves executive compensation programs that are designed to align executive pay with share owners' interests, as well as with the annual and longer-term performance of the Company. This alignment is evidenced by the executive officers receiving a 2014 annual incentive plan payout above target level largely based on the generation of FCF, adjusted for changes in foreign currency exchange rates, that exceeded the 2014 maximum performance target, as well as a 2012-2014 long-term incentive plan performance share unit payout at target level as the Company achieved above the maximum performance target for return on invested capital for the three-year period, but did not meet the threshold performance target for adjusted earnings per share.

The Company believes that its executive compensation program strikes the appropriate balance between using responsible, measured pay practices and providing rewards that effectively attract and retain executives while motivating them to create value for the share owners. The rigor in the Company's management processes, as well as balance in rewards programs, are evidenced by the following:

•
  A major portion of target compensation for each NEO is "at risk".
•
  Formal reviews are conducted annually of market survey data and proxy data for comparator group companies, the results of which are used as input into NEO compensation decisions.
•
  The relationship between executive pay and Company performance is analyzed annually to ensure alignment over time.
•
  Regular "risk assessment" analyses are completed to evaluate the Company's overall executive compensation practices and processes.
•
  Annual incentive funding is driven entirely through a balance of financial metrics that are aligned with share owner value creation. The annual Senior Management Incentive Program measures FCF, EBIT margin, and net sales, while the long-term incentive programs place a significant emphasis on Company performance and share owner value creation through performance share units and stock options.
•
  The Company develops challenging performance standards for the annual and long-term incentives. Payouts against performance standards are formulaic and have resulted in no award when performance is not up to minimum thresholds and larger awards when performance exceeds expectations.
•
  Individual performance and rewards are differentiated based on business unit results and/or specific contributions by the executive.
•
  The Company's senior executives have stock ownership and share retention guidelines that promote alignment with share owners.

70

The Board strongly endorses the Company's executive compensation program and recommends that the share owners vote in favor of the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company's NEOs, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.

Because the vote is advisory, it will not be binding on the Board or the Compensation Committee and neither the Board nor the Compensation Committee will be required to take any action as a result of the outcome of the vote on this proposal. However, the Compensation Committee will carefully consider the outcome of the vote when determining future executive compensation arrangements.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

71

PROPOSAL 4:
APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT, RESTATEMENT AND CONTINUATION OF THE COMPANY'S
2004 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN FOR DIRECTORS OF OWENS-ILLINOIS, INC. AND THE
GRANT OF 33,623 RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS TO DIRECTORS IN 2014 THEREUNDER

Proposed Plan

The Company is requesting that its share owners vote in favor of adopting the Amended, Restated and Continuation of the Company's 2004 Equity Incentive Plan for Directors of Owens-Illinois, Inc. (the "Plan") and the grant of 33,623 restricted stock units to directors in 2014 thereunder (the "2014 RSU Grant"). On March 19, 2015, the Board approved the amendment, restatement and continuation of the Plan and ratified the 2014 RSU Grant, subject to share owner approval at the Annual Meeting.

The principal purposes of the Plan are to: (i) further the growth, development and financial success of the Company by providing additional incentives to non-employee members of its Board by assisting them to become owners of common stock of the Company and to benefit directly from the Company's growth, development and financial success and (ii) enable the Company to obtain and retain the services of the type of outside directors considered essential to the Company's long-range success by providing and offering them an opportunity to become equity owners of the Company through the grant of awards under the Plan.

The Plan is an amendment, restatement and continuation the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan for Directors of Owens-Illinois, Inc., which was previously adopted on May 12, 2004 (the "2004 Plan"). The Plan was approved by the Board to allow the Company to continue providing equity compensation to the non-employee members of the Board as a competitive compensation practice and to continue to align the interests of the Board members with the Company's share owners. The Company believes that the Plan properly balances its compensatory design with the Company's share owners' interests:

•
  Shares used to pay option exercise prices or to satisfy tax withholdings are not recycled back into the Plan and the Plan does not have any other liberal share counting provisions; and
•
  The number of shares available for issuance under the 2004 Plan were not increased.

The Plan is a continuation of the 2004 Plan without substantial changes, and other than the changes highlighted above, the Plan no longer has a ten year term limit. The Plan will terminate when the share reserve is exhausted or it is terminated by the Committee as described below. Consistent with past practices and in accordance with the director compensation policies described in the Company's 2014 Notice and Proxy Statement, on May 16, 2014, the Company granted a total of 33,623 restricted stock units to its non-employee directors under the 2004 Plan (the "2014 RSU Grant"); however, pursuant to its terms, the 2004 Plan expired on May 12, 2014. In order to correct this timing error, the Board approved the Plan with a retroactive effective date of May 12, 2014 and is asking for both approval of the Plan and the 2014 RSU Grant.

As of March 16, 2015, the 2004 Plan had 153,559 shares of common stock available for future awards; and, as amended and restated, the Plan does not provide for an increase in the number of such shares.

Other than the 2014 RSU Grants (which are also subject to share owner approval), no restricted stock, restricted stock units or options will be further awarded pursuant to the Plan until it is approved by the Company's share owners. If the Plan is not approved (i) its provisions will not become effective, (ii) the 2004 Plan will have expired in accordance with its terms; provided that, any grants made under the 2004

72

Plan prior to its termination (not including the 2014 RSU grants) will continue in full force and effect on the terms set forth in the 2004 Plan and the applicable award agreement, (iii) the 2014 RSU Grant shall be terminated and the directors will have no further rights with respect to such awards, , and (iv) since there would be no equity plan available for grants to directors, the directors would instead receive the value of their equity awards, including the value of the 2014 RSU Grant, in cash.

A summary of the principal provisions of the Plan is set forth below. The summary is qualified by reference to the full text of the Plan, which appears as Appendix B to this Proxy Statement.

Description of the Plan

Shares Subject to Plan. The Plan provides for the award of options, restricted stock and restricted stock units covering an aggregate of 525,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Of the shares authorized, 153,559 remain available for grants. If any option expires or is cancelled without having been exercised, or if any restricted stock is repurchased by the Company or forfeited, or if any restricted stock unit is forfeited, the shares covered thereby may be subject to the grant of future awards.

Eligibility. Any non-employee director of the Company or of any parent or subsidiary of the Company is eligible to be awarded options, restricted stock or restricted stock units under the Plan. There are eleven such eligible non-employee directors.

Exercise Price. Each option shall have an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of an underlying share of Company common stock on the date the option is granted. For as long as the Company's common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the fair market value of the Common Stock generally will be the closing price on such exchange on the date of grant.

Administration. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, which is responsible for determining the persons to whom options, restricted stock and restricted stock units shall be awarded, the number of shares to be subject thereto and the other terms and conditions thereof, including the terms on which options shall become exercisable and the terms, restrictions and limitations applicable to such awards.

Terms of Options. All options granted pursuant to the Plan will expire no later than ten years and one day from the date the option was granted. The Compensation Committee may grant options that are (a) not transferable except by will or pursuant to the applicable laws of descent and distribution upon the death of the optionee or (b) transferable only by gift, without consideration, to (i) such optionee's spouse, children or certain other relatives, (ii) a trust for the benefit of the optionee and/or any one or more of such persons listed in (i) herein, (iii) a limited liability company or partnership, all of whose members or partners consist of the optionee or the above-listed relatives or trust, or (iv) a non-profit organization or charitable trust, to which contributions are tax-deductible. The terms of the options granted under the Plan will be set forth in separate stock option agreements.

Terms of Restricted Stock. Restricted stock may be awarded on such terms and conditions (including the purchase price, if any) and subject to such restrictions as the Compensation Committee may determine. Restricted stock, typically, may be repurchased by the Company if the holder of the restricted stock has terminated membership on the Board prior to the lapse of the restrictions, although a restricted stock agreement may provide for no repurchase right in certain circumstances. The repurchase price may be equal to or less than the Holder's original purchase price, depending on the circumstances of the Holder's termination of membership on the Board prior to the lapse of the restrictions on the shares. In general,

73

restricted stock may not be sold or encumbered until any restrictions thereon are terminated or expire. The terms of restricted stock awarded under the Plan will be provided in separate restricted stock agreements. Holders of restricted stock, unlike recipients of options or restricted stock units, generally will have voting rights and will receive dividends prior to the time when the restrictions lapse, unless otherwise provided in the restricted stock agreement.

Terms of Restricted Stock Units. An award of a restricted stock unit is a grant of the right to receive shares of Company common stock in the future, with such right to future delivery of the share of common stock subject to a risk of forfeiture or any other restrictions that shall expire upon the satisfaction of the terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee may determine. Unvested restricted stock units, typically, may be terminated by the Company upon termination of the holder's membership on the Board. In general, restricted stock units may not be sold or encumbered until all restrictions are terminated or expire. The terms of restricted stock units awarded under the Plan will be provided in separate restricted stock unit agreements.

Payment for Shares. The exercise price of all options must be paid in full in cash or, in certain circumstances, with shares of common stock owned by the optionee or issuable to the optionee upon exercise of the option, or a combination of such forms of consideration as provided in the Plan. Each share received by the Company in payment of the purchase price will be valued at its fair market value on the date of exercise.

Changes in Common Stock. In the event that the outstanding shares of common stock are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares or otherwise, the number and kind of shares covered by the Plan and by each outstanding option or award of restricted stock or restricted stock unit, and the exercise price per share, shall be adjusted (such adjustments with respect to outstanding shares shall be made proportionately).

Amendment and Termination. The Plan may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Compensation Committee. However, certain provisions of the Plan may not be amended or modified without share owner approval. These provisions include the provisions respecting the maximum number of shares which may be issued in connection with an award granted under the Plan, eligibility requirements for receipt of awards, minimum option price requirements, extending the limitation with respect to the period during which awards may be granted under the Plan and amending or modifying the Plan in a manner requiring share owner approval under Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

Options. The Company is generally entitled to deduct and the optionee recognizes taxable income in an amount equal to the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise.

Restricted Stock. A director to whom restricted stock is issued will have taxable income upon issuance of the restricted stock, unless the restricted stock is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Restricted stock subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture results in income recognition equal to the excess of the fair market value over the price paid, if any, only at the time the risk of forfeiture lapses, unless the director makes an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to be

74

taxed as of the date of receipt. In general, the Company will be entitled to a deduction for any amounts taxable to the director at the time the director is taxed.

Restricted Stock Units. A director who is awarded a restricted stock unit will not have taxable income upon issuance of the restricted stock unit. Upon the director's receipt of shares transferred by the Company in satisfaction of a restricted stock unit, the director will be taxable under the rules discussed above with respect to restricted stock. In general, the Company will be entitled to a deduction for any amounts taxable to the director at the time the director is taxed.

Plan Benefits

There were eleven non-employee directors who received the 2014 RSU Grant of 33,623 RSUs. All directors received 2,821 RSUs, with the exception of Mr. Nair and Ms. Williams who received 4,824 and 3,410 RSUs respectively, which reflects pro-ration for their service which began after the 2013 grant was made. A total of 291,182 RSUs were granted under the 2004 Plan as of March 16, 2015 including the 2014 RSU Grant. There were no options granted under the 2004 Plan as of March 16, 2015. Approximately eleven non-employee directors will be eligible to receive awards under the Plan. Under the current director compensation policy each director will receive RSUs with a value of $92,500 based on the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the day immediately following the Company's annual meeting. The director compensation policy may be amended at any time and therefore the value that may be granted in the future may not be determined at this time. The market value of the 2014 RSU Grant as of March 16, 2015 was $780,054 based on a closing price of $23.20. Under the terms of the Plan, the Compensation Committee may also make discretionary grants. As a result the number of awards that will be granted under the Plan cannot be determined in advance. However, for illustrative purposes only, in 2014 the following amounts were granted under the 2004 Plan.

These reporting persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all such forms which they file. To the Company's knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no reports were required, all of these reporting persons made all required filings on time during 2014.

2016 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHARE OWNERS

To be timely, a share owner's proposal or nomination must be received by the Company no later than February 1, 2016, and must otherwise satisfy the requirements of the Company's By-Laws as then in effect. If the date of the 2016 Annual Meeting changes by more than thirty (30) days from the date of the 2015 Annual Meeting, a share owner's proposal or nomination must be received by the Company no later than ten (10) calendar days following the first public announcement of the revised date of the 2016 Annual Meeting.

RECONCILIATION OF ADJUSTED NET EARNINGS TO EARNINGS FROM
CONTINUING OPERATIONS ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE COMPANY

The information presented regarding adjusted net earnings relates to earnings attributable to the Company exclusive of items management considers not representative of ongoing operations and does not conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). It should not be construed as an alternative to the reported results determined in accordance with GAAP. Management has included this non-GAAP information to assist in understanding the comparability of results on ongoing operations. Management uses this non-GAAP information principally for internal reporting, forecasting and budgeting. Management believes that the non-GAAP presentation allows the Board of Directors, management, investors and analysts to better understand the Company's financial performance in relationship to core operating results and the business outlook.

RECONCILIATION OF ADJUSTED EBITDA AND NET DEBT

The information presented regarding net debt divided by adjusted EBITDA does not conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). It should not be construed as an alternative to the reported results determined in accordance with GAAP. For this non-GAAP measure, net debt relates to total debt less cash and adjusted EBITDA relates to consolidated earnings from continuing operations before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangibles, and excludes charges for asbestos-related costs, restructuring, asset impairment and other items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations. Management has included this non-GAAP information to assist in understanding the Company's leverage ratio. Management uses this non-GAAP information principally for internal reporting, forecasting and budgeting. Management believes that the non-GAAP presentation allows the Board of Directors, management, investors and analysts to better understand the Company's financial performance in relationship to core operating results and the business outlook.

Section 7.5—Restrictions

All Restricted Stock Units issued under this Plan (including any Restricted Stock Units received as a result of stock dividends, stock splits or any other form of recapitalization) shall, in the terms of each individual Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, be subject to such restrictions as the Committee, in its absolute discretion, shall provide, which restrictions may include, without limitation, forfeiture conditions, restrictions concerning voting rights and vesting and transferability and restrictions based on duration of membership on the Board of the Company or of a Parent Corporation or a Subsidiary.
