CORNING INC NY

Although closed to directors joining the Board after October 5, 2016, Corning has a Directors’ Charitable Giving Program pursuant to which a director may direct the Company to make a charitable bequest to one or more qualified charitable organizations recommended by such director and approved by Corning in the amount of $1,000,000 (employee directors) or $1,250,000 (non-employee directors) following his or her death. This program is directly funded from general corporate assets. Because the charitable deductions accrue solely to Corning, the directors derive no direct financial benefit from the program, and we do not include these amounts in the directors’ compensation. In 2023, all directors except Messrs. Brun, Ferguson and French and Ms. Craig were eligible to participate in the program.

Directors are also eligible to participate in the Corning Incorporated Foundation Matching Gifts Program for eligible charitable organizations. This Program is available to all active Corning employees and directors. In 2023, the matching gift amount available from the Foundation on behalf of each participant in the Program was $7,500 per calendar year.

Corning also pays premiums on our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies.

Changes to Director Compensation in 2024

In February 2024, the Board approved an increase to the non-employee directors’ annual equity grant from $215,000 to $225,000 as a competitive measure, as proposed by the Compensation and Talent Management Committee in consultation with the Committee’s independent consultant. This annual equity grant will be payable in restricted stock units.

In addition, beginning in 2024, Directors may elect to receive their equity retainer earlier than at retirement (as soon as 1 year from the grant date), provided they make their election prior to the start of the calendar year in which the retainer is earned, and any such distribution would not result in the Director failing to meet the share ownership requirements described

on page 54.
