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 up to $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. Dr. Burns, Mr. Cummings, Dr. Huttenlocher, and Mr. Martin each remain eligible for this discontinued program.

Directors are also eligible to participate in the Corning Impact and Investment Matching Gifts Program for eligible charitable organizations. This program is available to all active Corning employees and directors. In 2025, the matching gift amount available 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.
