Dear Fellow Shareholder,

Corning Incorporated will host its 2023 virtual Annual Meeting on April 27 at noon Eastern Time.

During the meeting, shareholders will vote on the annual election of directors, the advisory approval of our executive compensation, the ratification of Corning's independent registered public accounting firm for 2023, and the frequency with which we hold advisory votes on executive compensation.

I'll also share details about Corning's 2022 performance and our expectations for the future. Our corporate strategy enables us to navigate through challenging periods like the present while maintaining an attractive long-term growth trajectory. Our distinctive capabilities have allowed us to establish a deep relevance to secular trends as we become ever more vital to progress. And our actions reflect a longstanding commitment to moving the world forward for all of our stakeholders.

We practice sound corporate governance by following industry best practices on executive pay, including tying compensation closely to company performance, and we communicate consistently and openly with our shareholders. Furthermore, we continuously leverage our diverse board to ensure robust engagement and critical oversight.

We're also maintaining our commitment to our people and communities. Inside our walls, we're focused on building a more inclusive work environment for our people – and we're making steady progress. Notably, we reached our highest levels of leadership diversity in 2022. A quarter of our corporate officers are women, and half of our Corporate Management Group is diverse. Beyond our walls, the company provides broad-based support to global humanitarian efforts as well as targeted local engagement to drive thriving communities in the areas where we live and work.

Importantly, every decision we make today is about tomorrow. With our future stakeholders in mind, we published our second TCFD-aligned sustainability report in 2022, and we significantly improved our Corporate Human Rights Benchmark score. And I'm pleased to report that we are well ahead of achieving our goal of 400 percent improvement in our use of renewable energy.

I look forward to sharing more details at the Annual Meeting. You'll find the formal meeting notice and the proxy statement in the following pages. I encourage you to vote your proxy card by phone or online by April 26 so your shares will be represented at the meeting.

Thank you for your investment in Corning and your participation in our governance process.

Sincerely,

![](glw4120101_def14ax3x1.jpg)

Wendell P. Weeks

Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer

CORNING 2023 PROXY STATEMENT 5

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

Proxy Statement Summary

**Business Information – Who We Are**

Corning is one of the world's leading innovators in materials science. For more than 170 years, Corning has applied its unparalleled expertise in specialty glass, ceramics and optical physics to develop products that have created new industries, transformed people's lives and unleashed significant new capabilities. Our innovation approach delivers long-term value for Corning and its shareholders.

Our 2022 Results

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Net Sales** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Earnings per Share** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Adjusted Free**<br> **Cash Flow\*** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**2022 GAAP Results** | &nbsp;&nbsp; $14,189<br> million | &nbsp;&nbsp; $1.54<br> (diluted) | &nbsp;&nbsp; $1,011\*\*<br> million |

---

\*Adjusted free cash flow is a Non-GAAP measure. Refer to Appendix A for more information.

\*\*Cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures. See Appendix A.

**CORE PERFORMANCE MEASURES**

In managing the Company and assessing our financial performance, we adjust certain measures provided by our consolidated financial statements to arrive at measures that are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and exclude specific items that are non-recurring, related to foreign exchange volatility, or unrelated to continuing operations. These measures are our Core Performance Measures. Our management uses Core Performance Measures, along with financial measures in accordance with GAAP, to make financial and operational decisions. **We believe that sharing our Core Performance Measures with investors provides greater visibility into how we make business decisions. Accordingly, these measures also form the basis for our compensation program metrics.**

Items that are excluded from certain Core Performance calculations include: the impact of translating Japanese yen-denominated debt, the impact of translated earnings contracts, acquisition-related costs, certain discrete tax items and other tax-related adjustments, restructuring, impairment and other charges and credits, certain litigation, regulatory and other legal matters, pension mark-to-market adjustments and other items which do not reflect on going operating results of the Company. More information on these items can be found in Appendix A.

Corning utilizes constant-currency reporting for our Display Technologies, Environmental Technologies, Specialty Materials and Life Sciences segments for the Japanese yen, South Korean won, Chinese yuan, new Taiwan dollar, and the euro, as applicable to the segment. **The Company believes that the use of constant-currency reporting allows investors to understand our results without the volatility of currency fluctuations and reflects the underlying economics of the translated earnings contracts** used to mitigate the impact of changes in currency exchange rates on our earnings and cash flows.

These non-GAAP measures are not an alternative to, or a replacement for, financial results determined in accordance with GAAP. **Please see Appendix A to this proxy statement for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures we use in this proxy statement to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.**

\* All other businesses that do not meet the quantitative threshold for separate reporting have been grouped as Hemlock and Emerging Growth Businesses. This group is primarily comprised of the results of Hemlock Semiconductor Group (HSG), which produces polysilicon products. Hemlock and Emerging Growth Businesses also includes our pharmaceutical technologies business, automotive glass solutions business, new product lines and development projects, as well as other businesses and certain corporate investments. Hemlock and Emerging Growth Businesses represented 11% of our 2022 Core Net Sales.

**2022 Performance Highlights: Strategic Resilience in a Challenging External Environment**

In 2022, Corning grew core net sales to $14.8 billion, driven by our strong positions in the growing optical communications and solar markets and ongoing outperformance across our end markets. Corning continued to deliver sales growth despite demand headwinds in markets constituting around half of our sales. At the same time, prioritizing our commitment to fulfill our customer needs in a higher inflation environment caused profitability and cash flow to lag sales growth. The Company took additional price and productivity improvement actions to preserve profitability, and improve margins and cash generation. The Company's focus on executing these priorities resulted in core net sales growth of 5% and core EPS growth of 1%, building on our strong results of 2021.

Stepping back, our long-term growth drivers all remain intact. We are well positioned to capture profitable multi-year growth as our end markets recover, and will continue to execute with discipline. Our cohesive and diversified portfolio provides strategic resilience that has come to bear in the current economic environment. We have established deep relevance to secular trends along with the proven ability to drive more content into our markets over time. We have been leading in the automotive and life science markets for 100 years, display market for 80 years, telecommunications market for 50 years and mobile consumer electronics since the inception of smart devices. The basis of our ongoing success is our distinctive set of capabilities and long track record of life-changing and even life-saving inventions which, as in the past, is what enables us to power through moments like the present while maintaining an attractive long-term growth trajectory.

**Corning's Strategy in Action**

Corning strives to be a catalyst for positive change and to help move the world forward. The company drives profitable multiyear growth by inventing, making, and selling life-changing products while cultivating deep, trust-based relationships with industry leaders, ultimately incorporating more content into customers' offerings. To do so, Corning takes a long-view approach, investing in a set of vital capabilities that are becoming increasingly relevant to profound transformations that touch many facets of daily life. Today, Corning's markets include optical communications, mobile consumer electronics, display, automotive, solar, semiconductor, and life sciences.

**Update on Our Leadership Priorities**

In 2019, we outlined our leadership priorities for growth and shareholder returns, highlighting significant opportunities to sell more Corning content through each of our Market-Access Platforms, which we call our "More Corning" strategy.

The Company's focused and cohesive portfolio and financial strength provide strategic resilience. Corning has and will continue to use its cash to grow, extend its leadership and reward shareholders. Our key growth drivers remain intact, and some are accelerating as key trends converge around Corning's capabilities.

Corning continues to advance its leadership priorities and articulate opportunities across its business. Our probability of success increases as we invest in our world-class capabilities. Corning is concentrating approximately 80% of its research, development and engineering investment along with capital spending on a cohesive set of three core technologies, four manufacturing and engineering platforms, and five Market-Access Platforms. This strategy allows us to quickly apply our talents and repurpose our assets across the Company, as needed, to capture high-return opportunities.

Supporting Sustainable Communities

Throughout its history, Corning has routinely made contributions to civic, educational, charitable, cultural and other institutions that improve the quality of life and increase the resources of the communities in which it operates, making Corning more attractive to employees.

The Company undertakes its philanthropic activities directly through corporate initiatives and initiatives of its Office of Racial Equity and Social Unity (ORESU), and indirectly through The Corning Incorporated Foundation (the Foundation), a separate 501(c)(3) organization. We believe in being an active corporate citizen and both Corning and the Foundation direct the vast majority of their grant-making and activities in the communities where Corning operates and its employees live. In 2022, Corning donated $2 million to the Foundation, and the Foundation disbursed approximately $5.3 million in direct grants to non-profit organizations which includes grants made under the Foundation's Employee Programs (Employee Matching Gifts, Dollars for Doers, Vibrant Community Grants and Excellence in Volunteerism Awards). A sampling of the ways that Corning and the Corning Foundation made an impact in our communities in 2022 included:

• **Catalyst Grants** - Corning established a new program to **support entrepreneurship among women, minorities and veterans** who often face more significant challenges obtaining business financing. In 2022, the Catalyst program helped six women, one South Asian, seven Black and two veteran entrepreneurs launch their businesses and secure ongoing financing.

• **Edge for Tomorrow Future Teachers Scholarship** – ORESU awarded the second annual Edge for Tomorrow Future Teachers Scholarship, which **encourages diverse students from Edgecombe County Early College High School in North Carolina to pursue careers in teaching**. Corning has committed to sponsoring ten students over six years. Each student receives a $30,000 scholarship to use at a North Carolina university of their choice, in exchange for a three-year commitment to teach in Edgecombe County after graduation.

• **Corning Housing Partnership** - Corning invested $200,000 in a multi-year private-public partnership with the City of Corning to **combat blight in the city's aging housing stock.** 

• **Child Care Support** – Corning invested **$2.5 million in five child-care centers** and a school age program serving more than 500 children daily in the Corning, NY area.

• **Science Technology Entrepreneurship Leadership Academy** - The Corning Foundation **supported a free robotics camp for 350 students in the Corning, NY area through a $12,000 grant** for robotics equipment.

• **Massachusetts Biotechnology Education Foundation** – The Corning Foundation granted **$20,000 in support of life science literacy in grades 6-12** through teacher training, curriculum development, workshops, mentoring and lab-based lessons.

• **Waccamaw Siouan Tribe STEM Studio** – Corning provided funding for STEM supplies to this grassroots community-led program founded by members of the Waccamaw Siouan Tribe in STEM careers with a mission to **increase their community's understanding of STEM, while providing STEM opportunities to tribal youth and the community.** 

• **New York Regional Equity Network of Educators** – ORESU partnered with the Greater Southern Tier Board of Cooperative Educational Services to create the Regional Equity Network of Educators, supporting approximately 30,000 students. The network **brings educators together with youth leaders to foster learning environments that affirm students' racial, linguistic and cultural identities and empower students to be change makers**. Teachers receive professional development credits for their participation.

• **Monroe Community College Optics Program** – The Corning Foundation **awarded the college a $760,000 grant over five years (2018-2022) in support of its optics program,** including a Technical Pipeline Program that includes for accepted students a two-year scholarship, an annual salary, and a full-time technician role upon graduation.

Corning's direct giving also includes annual contributions to both local and international cultural and educational institutions. In particular, Corning is proud to support The Corning Museum of Glass (CMOG) – the world's leading glass museum. Beyond just a key cultural and community hub, CMOG also provides Corning with a unique innovation crucible where our glass scientists and experts collaborate with glass artists and designers to creatively explore the novel properties of glass and innovate new uses in an environment uninhibited by traditional commercial boundaries. In a small community,

| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Our Metrics and Why We Use Them**<br> **Core Earnings per Share (Core EPS):**<br> Core EPS is our key measure of **profitability**. (Note: Corning budgets for share repurchases when establishing annual financial and compensation targets.)<br> **Core Net Sales:**<br> Growing **core net sales** — both organically through innovation and through acquisitions — remains critical to our **short**-and **long**-term success. | **Adjusted Free Cash Flow:**<br> Strong cash generation enables us to **invest in future growth, sustain leadership in our markets and provide returns to shareholders, and remain financially strong during periods of uncertainty**. It also requires us to carefully manage our capital investments.<br> **Return on Invested Capital (ROIC):**<br> We focus on ROIC because it reflects our ability to **generate returns from the capital we have deployed in our operations.** The Cash Performance Units (CPUs) payout and Performance Stock Units (PSUs) earned are increased or decreased up to 10% based on Corning's ROIC over the three-year performance period. |

---

Core net sales is a primary indicator of Corning's long- and short-term success. Evaluating performance against predetermined net sales metrics provides insight into how well the Company has retained sales and met sales growth targets, accounting for both organic growth efforts and the impact of acquisitions. We use core net sales as a performance measure in our annual bonus plans (GoalSharing and PIP) because Goalsharing impacts every employee and PIP impacts over 8,000 employees. In this way, every employee has goal alignment with Corning's sales growth goals. The LTI plan, which impacts approximately 350 senior executives and key employees responsible for driving the short- and long-term financial growth of the Company, also includes a core net sales performance measure. Incorporating net sales into both the STI and LTI plans allows for a comprehensive evaluation of Corning's ability to establish sustainable sales growth while also addressing near-term market fluctuations. It is a "duplicate goal" for only about 350 of our approximately 57,000 employees, and the Compensation and Talent Management Committee believes the increased focus on core net sales growth is appropriate for that smaller group of executives given the importance of sales growth for Corning over time.

Shareholder Communication

Communicating with shareholders, particularly about our strategic priorities, is critically important to Corning. We communicate with our shareholders through a number of channels, including quarterly earnings calls, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, Investor Days, investor conferences, our website at corning.com and other electronic communications. Our executives and Board members also routinely engage with investors through in-person meetings and calls.

In addition to regular discussions regarding our strategic priorities, we also conduct regular shareholder outreach to understand perspectives on our governance practices, including our sustainability initiatives, Board composition, human capital management, and executive compensation. Members of our Board often participate in direct interaction with our shareholders, and investor feedback is regularly shared with Board members to inform decision making.

As part of our shareholder governance outreach in the 2022-2023 proxy season:

• we contacted holders of approximately 58% of our outstanding shares and met with institutional shareholders representing approximately 43% of our outstanding shares;

• we discussed a variety of topics including our initiatives in the area of sustainability and environmental stewardship, executive compensation, and Board composition and experience; and

• investors were complimentary of our new GHG reduction goals, gender pay equity success, and board diversity,and continue to be pleased with our strategic priorities and business results.

More information on our shareholder engagement can be found on page 65.

The Board reviews our major governance policies, practices and processes regularly in the context of current corporate governance trends, investor feedback, regulatory changes and recognized best practices. Corning also aligns its corporate governance practices with the Investor Stewardship Group's (ISG) Corporate Governance Framework for U.S. Listed Companies.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Independence** | Our Corporate Governance Guidelines require a substantial majority of our directors to be independent. Currently, all directors but one (or 93%) are independent. Except for our Executive Committee, each of our Board committees consists entirely of independent directors. See page 29. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Skills and qualifications** | Our Board is composed of accomplished professionals with deep experiences, skills, and knowledge relevant to our business, resulting in a high-functioning and engaged Board. <br> A matrix of relevant skills can be found on page 39. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Commitment to Diversity** | The Board seeks to achieve diversity among its members and is committed to actively seeking out highly qualified women and minority candidates, as well as candidates with diverse backgrounds, skills and experiences, to include in the pool from which Board nominees are chosen. The Board's definition of diversity explicitly includes gender and race/ethnic background. See pages 27-28. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Director tenure** | The current average tenure of members of our Board, excluding our CEO Mr. Weeks, is 10.86 years. Our director retirement policy requires a director to retire at the annual meeting of shareholders following the director's 78th birthday. In addition, a director is required to submit an offer of resignation for consideration by the Board upon any significant change in the director's principal employment or responsibilities. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Director overboarding** | Corning values director participation on other public company boards as a means of adding depth to our governance and risk oversight practices. However, we have a policy to help provide confidence that each of our directors can dedicate the meaningful amount of time necessary to be a highly effective member of the Corning Board. Absent review and approval by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, a non-employee director may serve on no more than three other public company boards and an employee director may serve on no more than two other public company boards. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Board and committee evaluations** | The Board and each committee conducts an annual review of its effectiveness. The Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, as part of the Board evaluation, annually interviews each director and solicits feedback regarding the Board's composition, performance, effectiveness and areas of focus. From those discussions, the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reports the results of the evaluation to the full Board, composes a list of action items and follows-up to ensure implementation. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Meeting attendance** | The Board met five times in 2022. Directors attended 99.7% of combined total Board and applicable committee meetings in 2022. See page 34. |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Shareholder support for executive compensation** | Corning's executive compensation program received 90% shareholder support in 2022 and has averaged 91% shareholder approval over the past three years. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Committee oversight of executive compensation** | The Compensation and Talent Management Committee annually reviews and approves the executive compensation program's design, goals and objectives for alignment with our business objectives and general compensation strategies. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Long- and short-term goals drive executive compensation** | Our annual and long-term incentive programs are designed to reward financial and operational performance in support of Corning's strategic priorities, a topic on which management regularly engages shareholders. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Clear communication of economic drivers of executive compensation** | The proxy statement clearly communicates the link between management incentive compensation plans and the Company's short- and long-term performance. |

Corporate Governance and the Board of Directors

**Board Leadership Structure**

The Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines provide the Board with the flexibility to select the appropriate leadership structure for the Company. Annually, the Board must review whether the role of Chairman should be a non-executive position or combined with that of the CEO. In making determinations about the leadership structure, the Board considers many factors, including the specific needs of the business and what is in the best interests of the Company's shareholders. The current leadership structure comprises a combined Chairman and CEO, a Lead Independent Director, Board committees led primarily by independent Directors and active engagement by all Directors. The Board believes that this structure provides an effective balance between strong Company leadership and appropriate safeguards and oversight by independent Directors.

In February 2023, the Board determined that our combined Chairman and CEO, supported by our Lead Independent Director, continues to provide strong leadership and oversight and ensures effective functioning of management and the Company. The Board believes that having one person serve as Chairman and CEO can provide certain synergies and efficiencies that enhance the functioning of the Board and, importantly, allow it to most effectively execute its role in overseeing business strategy. Mr. Weeks' vast knowledge of our Company, our diverse products and business lines, our global operations, the nuances of the innovation pipeline and the challenges and opportunities particular to Corning make him uniquely suited to identify many of the business issues that require Board attention. As Chairman, he is best positioned to focus Directors' attention on the most critical business matters.

**Richard T. Clark was re-appointed to the role of Lead Independent Director** by the independent directors effective February 8, 2023, pursuant to the requirement of our Corporate Governance Guidelines that when the Chairman and CEO roles are combined, the independent directors annually appoint a Lead Independent Director from their membership. Mr. Clark's understanding of the Company and the industry, his experience on other public boards, and his management expertise as the former Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Merck & Co., Inc. enables him to assure independent board leadership at the Company. The Board is comprised solely of independent directors other than the CEO, and 100 percent of the Audit, Compensation and Talent Management, Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability, Finance, Information Technology and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee members are independent.

Corporate Governance and the Board of Directors

**Board Composition**

Our Board is responsible for the oversight and success of our Company. We seek to maintain a mix of directors who bring strong leadership, diverse perspectives, a broad range of skills relevant to Corning, and depth of experience to their positions. Our board is high-functioning and engaged. A supermajority of independent directors ensures robust debate and challenged opinions in the boardroom, while diversity of gender, age, race, ethnicity and expertise contributes to a wide range of views. **Our Board includes four women, three African-Americans, and four directors who hold science, technology or mathematics Ph.Ds.** We also have two decades of age diversity among our directors, with their ages ranging between 56 and 77 years. We also value the broad corporate governance experience of directors who have served on the boards of other public companies, which adds additional rigor to our governance and risk oversight practices.

Corporate Governance and the Board of Directors

**Committee actively seeks out highly qualified women and minority candidates, as well as candidates with diverse backgrounds, skills and experiences, to include in the pool from which Board nominees are chosen**. The Board conducts an annual evaluation which helps identify skills and experiences to seek in future candidates that would benefit the Company, its stakeholders and the Board. It is the Company's practice to add new Board members prior to the anticipated retirement of other members of the Board, in order to maintain appropriate Committee sizes and to ensure continuity of leadership and expertise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Corning signed the 2020 Board Challenge Pledge to increase diversity among boards of directors for U.S. companies. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee actively seeks out highly qualified women and minority candidates to include in the pool from which Board nominees are chosen. Today, the Company has three Black directors and four women on its 15-person board, and it remains committed to improving diversity.**

In the case of incumbent directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review such directors' overall service to the Company during their term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance, and transactions of such directors with the Company, if any, during their term. For those potential new director candidates who appear upon first consideration to meet the Board's selection criteria, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will conduct appropriate inquiries into their background, qualifications and skills relevant to Corning's strategic priorities and, depending on the result of such inquiries, arrange for in-person meetings with the potential candidates.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee uses multiple sources for identifying director candidates, including executive search firms, its members' own contacts, and referrals from other directors, members of management and the Company's advisors. To maintain a pipeline for new directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has retained the executive search firm of Spencer Stuart to help identify director prospects, perform candidate outreach, assist in reference and background checks, and provide other related services on an ongoing basis. Director candidates recommended by shareholders in the manner described on page 108 will be considered in the same manner in which the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates candidates recommended by other sources. In addition, our by-laws permit a group of up to 20 shareholders who have owned a minimum of 3% of our outstanding capital stock for at least three years to submit director nominees for up to the greater of two directors or 20% of the board for inclusion in our proxy statement. See "Shareholder Proposals and Director Nominations for the 2024 Annual Meeting" on page 108 of this proxy statement. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee regularly considers the long-term make-up of our Board of Directors and how the composition of our board changes over time. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers the skills needed on our board as our business and the markets in which we do business evolve. The Board's believes that consistent refreshment balances the importance of the institutional knowledge of longer-tenured Board members with a desire for fresh and diverse perspectives. In the last ten years, we have added 7 new independent directors to the board and have had 5 directors retire.

Director education is vital to the ability of directors to fulfill their roles and supports Board members in their continuous learning. The Board encourages directors to participate annually in external continuing director education programs, and our company reimburses directors for their expenses associated with this participation. All new directors also participate in our director orientation program during their first year on our Board. We also encourage Board members to gain credentials in specialized topics such as sustainability and cybersecurity and we reimburse them for costs associated with this effort.

**Management Succession Planning**

One of the Board's primary responsibilities is ensuring that Corning has a high-performing management team in place. The Board oversees management succession planning, with our Lead Independent Director facilitating ongoing review and Board approval of succession and management development plans for the CEO and Senior Leadership Team. The goal of this ongoing process is to maximize the pool of internal candidates able to assume top management positions with minimal business interruption. Recently, succession planning has resulted in the appointment of highly qualified executives in the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Technology Officer roles, both internal candidates, and the Chief Digital and Information Officer, an external candidate. **The Board regularly discusses succession planning for the chief executive officer and other senior management positions in executive sessions**. The Board has regular engagement with various levels of management at Board and Committee meetings which gives directors additional exposure to the management pipeline.

**In 2020, the Board oversaw the reorganization of our operating structure to align management and business teams around our five Market-Access Platforms**. The structure includes a Senior Leadership Team of nineteen senior executives, representing a wealth of skills and knowledge developed over many years of service to the Company, whose leadership will be

key as Corning continues to navigate the ongoing macroeconomic challenges and prepares for future growth. The Company also seeks highly qualified new executives from outside the Company if and when appropriate. We believe the strength of our management structure and Senior Leadership Team is evident in our performance throughout the pandemic from 2020 through 2022.

**Director Independence**

Our Board is 93% independent and such independent oversight bolsters our success. Our Board has determined that each of our non-employee directors qualifies as "independent" in accordance with the listing requirements of the NYSE, applicable SEC rules and the Company's director qualification standards. Mr. Weeks is not independent because he is an executive officer of Corning.

The NYSE listing requirements state that no director may be qualified as "independent" unless our Board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with Corning. When making independence determinations, the Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances which might bar a director from being determined to be "independent," including the NYSE criteria.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines require the Board to make an annual determination regarding the independence of each of our directors. In making its independence determinations, the Board considered transactions, if any, that occurred since the beginning of 2020 between Corning and entities associated with our independent directors or members of their immediate family. The Board also reviewed information with regard to each director's business and personal activities as they may relate to Corning and Corning's management. It considered that each of Messrs. Martin, Brun and Ferguson, Drs. Huttenlocher and Wrighton, and Ms. Henretta are or were, during the previous three years, an employee, partner or affiliate of a company or organization that had a business relationship with Corning at some time during those years. The Board also considered: that Corning's business relationships with each such company or organization were ordinary course/arm's length dealings; no Corning director had a personal interest in, or received a personal benefit from, such relationships; any payments or contributions to or from each of these entities constituted less than the greater of $1 million, or 2% of such entity's consolidated gross revenues in each of those years; that such relationships arose only from such director's position as an employee, partner or affiliate of the relevant company with which Corning does business; that such director has no input or direct or indirect material interest in any of the business relationships or transactions; that such director had no role or financial interest in any decisions about any of these relationships or transactions; and that such a relationship does not bar independence under the NYSE listing requirements, applicable SEC rules or Corning's director qualification standards.

Based on all of the relevant facts and circumstances, the Board concluded that none of the director relationships mentioned above constituted a material relationship with Corning that represents a potential conflict of interest, or otherwise interferes with the exercise by any of these directors of his or her independent judgment with respect to Corning.

**Policy on Transactions with Related Persons**

The Board of Directors has a written policy requiring the full Board or a designated Board committee to pre-approve any transaction involving Corning in which one of our directors, nominees for director, executive officers, or greater than 5% shareholders, or their immediate family members, have a direct or indirect material interest and where the amount involved exceeds $120,000 in any fiscal year. As set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board has delegated to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee the responsibility for reviewing and approving any such transactions.

In determining whether to approve any such transaction, the Board or relevant committee must consider, in addition to other factors deemed appropriate, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable to Corning than transactions involving unrelated parties. No director may participate in any review or approval of any transaction if he or she, or his or her immediate family member, has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction.

No related party transactions occurred in 2022 that required disclosure under this policy or under relevant SEC rules.

**Compensation and Talent Management Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation**

Dr. Rieman and Messrs. Brun, Clark, Ferguson, Landgraf and Tookes served on the Compensation and Talent Management Committee during 2022. No member of the Compensation and Talent Management Committee that served during 2022 is now, or has ever been, an officer or employee of Corning. No member of the Compensation and Talent Management Committee had any relationship with Corning or any of its subsidiaries during 2022 pursuant to which disclosure would be required under applicable rules of the SEC pertaining to the disclosure of transactions with related persons. No Corning executive officer currently serves

or served during 2022 on the board of directors or compensation committee of another company at any time during which an executive officer of such other company served on Corning's Board or Compensation and Talent Management Committee.

**Risk Oversight**

Inherent in the Board's responsibilities is an understanding of and oversight over the various risks facing the Company. The Board does not view risk in isolation: risks are considered in virtually every business decision. The Board recognizes that it is neither possible nor prudent to eliminate all risk; indeed, purposeful and appropriate risk taking is essential for the Company to be competitive on a global basis and to achieve the Company's long-term strategic objectives.

Effective risk oversight is of critical importance to our Board. The Board has implemented a risk governance framework designed to:

• understand critical risks in the Company's business and strategy;

• allocate responsibilities for risk oversight among the full Board and its committees;

• evaluate the Company's risk management processes and whether they are functioning adequately;

• facilitate open communication between management and Directors; and

• foster an appropriate culture of integrity and risk awareness.

To learn more about risks facing the Company, you can review Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in the Form 10-K. The risks described in the Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known or that may currently be deemed to be immaterial based on the information known to the Company also may materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations in future periods.

Corporate Governance and the Board of Directors

Risks associated with current business status or strategic alternatives are subjected to analysis, discussion and deliberation by management and the Board. Operationally, management reports periodically to the Board on the Company's enterprise risk management (ERM) policies and procedures, and to the Audit, Information Technology, Finance, and Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Committees on our top risks and compliance policies and practices. Management also provides a comprehensive annual report of top risks to the Board. The Chief Compliance Officer reports to the Audit Committee at each of its meetings on any relevant compliance issues, and annually presents an overview of the Company's compliance function, processes and effectiveness.

Corning's ERM program utilizes (1) a Risk Council chaired by the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and composed of Corning management and staff to aggregate, prioritize and assess risks, including strategic, financial, operational, business, reputational, governance and managerial risks; (2) an internal audit department; and (3) a Compliance Council, which reports regularly to each of the Audit Committee and Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Committee and reviews the Company's compliance with laws and regulations of the countries in which we conduct business as well as disclosures made by the Company about relevant risks.

The Board believes that the work undertaken by the committees of the Board, together with the work of the full Board and the Company's management, enables the Board to effectively oversee Corning's management of risk.

Corporate Governance and the Board of Directors

**Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Oversight**

We have integrated corporate responsibility throughout our business, from our daily operations and our risk management processes to our executive leadership and our Board. In doing so, we follow guidance provided by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. We also leverage the framework of the Task Force for Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) to assess and report on climate risks and opportunities for Corning. The Board believes that identifying risks and opportunities relating to sustainability is essential to the long-term viability of our Company and to deliver long-term value to shareholders. With respect to Board oversight of ESG matters, rather than concentrating all ESG matters into a single Committee, the Board believes each Committee should maintain oversight over the particular matters that fall within its scope. The appropriate Committees then report to the Board as appropriate. For example:

• The Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Committee maintains general oversight of environmental and social risks, with particular responsibility for employee welfare and labor relations, social justice, supply chain integrity, human rights, political activity, community responsibility, and environmental and climate-related matters. It annually reviews the Company's sustainability strategy.

• The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the Company's enterprise risk management (ERM) program and business continuity risk procedures, as well as disclosures about relevant risks made in our financial reports and filings.

• The Compensation and Talent Management Committee reviews matters related to talent and culture, as well as initiatives such as the gender pay equity program.

• The Information Technology Committee monitors risks related to information technology systems, data integrity and protection, business continuity, information security and cybersecurity and plans for protection of our most important intellectual property assets.

• The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the matters governed by those guidelines.

• The Finance Committee reviews our fiscal policies integral to maintaining enterprise sustainability.

Using this approach, members of each committee are able to leverage their specific subject-matter expertise to oversee and advise the Board on the matters most relevant to their committee's area of responsibility. In some circumstances, such as the efforts related to our Office of Racial Equity and Social Unity, Board members participate directly in working groups with management. Operating as an integrated whole, our Board is best positioned to manage the ESG risks and issues most impactful to our enterprise and our communities.

**Cybersecurity Oversight**

Corning recognizes that cyber risks are enterprise-wide and management issues for the Board of Directors to oversee. The Information Technology (IT) Committee of the Board has information security oversight as a key component of its charter and in all meetings it reviews corporate actions taken to improve the Company's cybersecurity posture as well as cyber incidents, if any. Briefings to the Information Technology Committee are presented by Corning's Chief Digital and Information Officer in combination with our Chief Information Security Officer who review both quarterly activity and long-term cybersecurity strategies of the Company, as well as general cybersecurity trends for possible impact on the Company. Moreover, on an annual basis the Chief Information Security Officer provides an update on cybersecurity matters to the full Board, as well as presents to a joint meeting of the IT and Audit Committees to review cybersecurity risks to the Company. At these meetings, the Board may raise any concerns it may have regarding the Company's cybersecurity posture and recommend any future changes to controls or procedures. All IT Committee and joint IT/Audit committee meetings are summarized to the full Board with any significant cybersecurity issues being addressed as appropriate. Should a cyber incident rise to the level of a corporate crisis, consistent with the Company's crisis response protocols, the Board would be engaged.

Corporate Governance and the Board of Directors

**Assessment of Company Culture**

Our directors are positioned to assess Company culture in a number of ways. The Company's Senior Leadership Team attends Board meetings and numerous other members of management attend committee meetings. Formal dinners and informal lunches with meeting attendees provide Directors insight to how our teams function. When presenting an issue relevant to the Board, full business and technology teams attend to answer the Directors' questions and to join them at these dinners and lunches. The Board visits our research campus to meet with dozens of employees working on our key innovation initiatives and/or participates in a technology showcase on an annual basis, where our newest initiatives are highlighted and discussed. If the Board is unable to visit our research campus in person, virtual Technology Showcases are held where senior innovators demonstrate those products and innovations in the Company's commercialization pipeline. The Board also meets at different Corning locations – occasionally internationally – to see our manufacturing facilities, meet local managers and employees and explore the Company's culture.

**Compensation Risk Analysis**

**Corning does not use compensation policies or practices that create risks that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.**

In February 2023, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee reviewed the conclusions of a risk assessment of our compensation policies and practices covering all employees. This type of assessment is conducted annually by a cross-functional team with representatives from Human Resources (Compensation and Benefits), Law and Finance. The Compensation and Talent Management Committee evaluated the levels of risk-taking that potentially could be encouraged by our compensation arrangements, considering the arrangements' risk-mitigation features, to determine whether they are appropriate in the context of our strategic plan and annual budget, our overall compensation arrangements, our compensation objectives, and Corning's overall risk profile. Identified risk-mitigation features included the following:

• The mix of cash and equity pay-outs tied to both short-term financial performance, mid-term financial performance, and long-term value creation;

• The time vesting requirements in our long-term incentive plans, which help align the interests of employees to shareholders;

• The use of multiple financial performance metrics that are readily monitored and reviewed, and aligned with the corporate and business unit objectives;

• The rigorous budget and goal-setting processes that involve both top-down and bottom-up analyses;

• The use of common performance metrics for incentives across Corning's management team and all eligible employees with corporate results impacting the compensation of all Corning employees;

• Internal advisory committees and plan caps that are intended to avoid imprudent risk-taking;

• Our robust stock ownership, clawback, anti-hedging and anti-pledging policies for NEOs and other employees;

• Multiple levels of review and approval of awards, including Committee approval of all officer and equity compensation; and

• Immediate oversight of executive pay matters in mergers and acquisitions and unit compensation plans throughout the acquisition integration process.

The Compensation and Talent Management Committee concluded that Corning's executive compensation program is balanced and does not reward excessive financial risk-taking.

**Board and Shareholder Meeting Attendance**

The Board of Directors met five times during 2022. **Attendance at Board and committee meetings averaged 99.7% in 2022,** and each incumbent director attended no less than 95% of the meetings of the Board and committees on which the director served.

The Board has a policy requiring all directors to attend our Annual Meeting, absent extraordinary circumstances. All of our directors attended our 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

**Ethics and Conduct**

We are committed to conducting business lawfully and ethically. Our directors, executive officers, and all Corning employees, are required to act at all times with honesty and integrity. We have a comprehensive Code of Conduct that applies to all Corning directors and employees that covers areas of professional conduct, including conflicts of interest, the protection of corporate opportunities and assets, employment policies, non-discrimination policies, confidentiality, vendor standards, and intellectual property, and requires strict adherence to all laws and regulations applicable to our business. Furthermore, our Code of Ethics for our Chief Executive Officer and Financial Executives requires business integrity, avoidance of conflicts of interest, and transparency. Our Board spends meaningful time with executive management at board meetings, and other members of management at other board events, where the relationships developed enable the Board to ensure that the Company maintains a culture of integrity, responsibility and accountability throughout the organization.

We also have a supplemental "Code of Conduct for Directors and Executive Officers" that includes policies calling for strict observance of all laws applicable to our business, requires directors and executive officers to avoid any conflict between their personal interests and the interests of the Company in dealing with suppliers, customers, and other third parties, and imposes standards upon certain conduct in their personal affairs, including transactions in securities of the Company, any Company affiliate, or any unaffiliated organization. Each director and executive officer is expected to be familiar with and to follow these policies to the extent applicable to them. Any employee can provide an anonymous report of an actual or apparent violation of our codes of conduct. We will disclose any future amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of our codes of conduct involving our directors, our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller or other persons performing similar functions on our website within four business days following the date of any such amendment or waiver. No such waivers were sought or granted in 2022.

**Lobbying and Political Contributions Policy**

Corning encourages employees to participate in the political process on a personal basis. However, any use of Corning funds, property, resources or employee work time for U.S. political purposes — for example, to any U.S. political party, candidate or government official – is subject to Corning's Lobbying and Political Contributions Policy and must be approved in advance by Corning's Government Affairs office. Any contact with members of the U.S. Congress or executive branch officials on behalf of Corning, or any Corning contribution to U.S. government officials or payment related to these officials, must be approved by and coordinated through Corning's Government Affairs office. Our policy can be found at investor.corning.com/investor-relations/governance/political-contributions/default.aspx.

**Communications with Directors**

Shareholders and interested parties may communicate concerns to any director, committee member or the Board by writing to the following address: Corning Incorporated Board of Directors, Corning Incorporated, One Riverfront Plaza, Corning, New York 14831, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

What skills and characteristics are currently represented on the Board?

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee determined that the skills listed below are inextricably linked to proper Board oversight of the Company. The *Board Skills and Composition Matrix*, which follows the chart below, sets forth which Directors have considerable or extensive experience in each of these necessary skill areas.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Skill** | **Description of the Skill and Explanation of Its Importance to Our Board** |
| **PUBLIC COMPANY<br> BOARD<br> EXPERIENCE**<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;Directors who have served on other public company boards can offer perspectives on board dynamics and operations, relations between the board and management, and oversight of matters that are vital to long-term shareholder value creation including corporate governance, executive compensation, risk management, shareholder relations, management and board succession planning and strategic, operational and compliance matters. |
| **FINANCE<br> AND<br> M&A**<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;Corning is committed to strong financial discipline, effective allocation of capital, and an appropriate capital structure. The Company's business is multi-faceted and involves complex financial transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, in many countries and in many currencies. We believe that directors who have senior financial leadership experience at large global organizations and financial institutions, and directors who are experienced allocators of investment capital, are important to Corning's success. |
| **RISK OVERSIGHT**<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;Corning considers risk management and risk oversight experience to be a required skillset represented by a majority of directors on our Board. Directors who possess these skills are best positioned to evaluate whether the Company's risk management policies and procedures are consistent with the Company's strategy and business purpose; that these policies and procedures are functioning as directed; that steps are taken to foster an enterprise-wide culture that supports appropriate risk awareness, behavior and judgments about risk and that recognizes and appropriately addresses risk-taking that exceeds the company's determined risk appetite. |
| **ACCOUNTING**<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;As a public company, Corning is subject to certain auditing, financial accounting, and financial reporting requirements. The Board, particularly through its Audit Committee, is responsible for reviewing Corning's complex financial statements and disclosures, overseeing financial reporting and internal controls, and monitoring internal and external auditors. Directors who understand financial reporting and the auditing process are important to ensuring that Corning's achieves accuracy and transparency in its public disclosures. |
| **CORPORATE<br> GOVERNANCE<br> AND ETHICS**<br> ![](glw4120101_def14ax39x5.jpg) | &nbsp;&nbsp;The Board is responsible for shaping the Company's corporate governance priorities and structure, which must be transparent and responsive to our shareholders. Because corporate governance affects the fundamental operation of a company, it can have a significant impact on corporate operations. The Board must have directors with experience in keeping up with and understanding constantly changing corporate governance expectations and practices. Having directors with experience in corporate governance also better positions the Board to engage with shareholders on such matters. |
| **LEGAL AND<br> REGULATORY**<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;Corning's business requires compliance with a variety of regulatory requirements across a number of countries and the ability to maintain relationships with various governmental entities and regulatory bodies. Directors who understand the legal and regulatory landscape applicable to the Company provide valuable advice and insight into navigating these regimes. |

| **Skill** | **Description of the Skill and Explanation of Its Importance to Our Board** |
| **COMPENSATION<br> AND TALENT<br> MANAGEMENT**<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;When properly structured, executive compensation and benefits drives business success, while discouraging imprudent risk-taking and aligning management's interest with those of shareholders. Talent and human capital management is critical to succession planning as well as to fostering a productive and safe culture and working environment. Corning believes that these topics are inherently linked, and that director expertise in both are required to drive long-term value. |
| **OPERATIONS**<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;Corning's business thesis can be simplified to "Invent. Make. Sell." Operations are integral to the manufacturing of our products and efficient management of the enterprise. Corning values board members who are knowledgeable about and possess experience in operations and supply chain management, and the risks inherent in both, so that the Board can oversee our efforts to improve our processes and products. |
| **STRATEGIC<br> PLANNING AND<br> OVERISIGHT**<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;Directors who understand how to strategically plan for the future of the Company, in both the short- and long-term, are better able to oversee and advise management with respect to the formulation and execution of the Company's strategic plans and their connection to long-term value. |
| **CYBER SECURITY<br> AND<br> INFORMATION<br> SECURITY**<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;A robust cybersecurity environment is critical to protecting Corning's technology infrastructure, intellectual property, manufacturing and operations, customer and employee information, and integrity as a modern global business. Corning believes its Board should contain directors with experience in information technology and establishing or overseeing information/cyber security systems and protocols. |
| **TECHNOLOGY<br> AND<br> INNOVATION**<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;At Corning, our growth is fueled by a commitment to innovation. We succeed through sustained investment in research, development, and engineering, a unique combination of material and process innovation, and close collaboration with customers to solve tough technology challenges. Corning values directors who understand the business of technology and have experience driving innovation and product development. |
| **INDUSTRY <br> EXPERIENCE**<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;Corning seeks directors with experience in industries that utilize specialty glass, ceramics, and related materials and technologies, including telecommunications, consumer electronics, display technologies, life sciences, automotive, and others. This experience is critical to the oversight of Corning's businesses and strategies in these unique and rapidly-changing industries. |

CORNING 2023 PROXY STATEMENT 51

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

![](glw4120101_def14ax54x2.jpg)

The Compensation and Talent Management Committee sets director compensation at levels that ensure our directors are paid appropriately for their time commitment and responsibilities relative to directors at companies of comparable size, industry and scope of operations. The Committee believes that providing a competitive compensation package is important because it enables Corning to attract and retain highly qualified directors who are critical to the Company's long-term success. Our objective is to pay non-employee directors competitively compared to comparable companies and for a significant portion of director compensation to be stock-based. The Compensation and Talent Management Committee's independent consultant, Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc., conducts an annual review of the director compensation levels relative to external best practices as well as Corning's compensation peer group and advises the Committee annually to ensure that compensation levels remain competitive.

The Company uses a combination of stock-based and cash compensation for its directors. Corning believes that a significant portion of director compensation should be linked to the Company's performance over time. Therefore, a portion of the directors' compensation is paid as an annual equity grant of restricted stock units (in 2022, 60% of annual retainer), which are not settled in shares of common stock until retirement or resignation from the Board.

Directors may further defer receipt of the annual equity retainer restricted stock units by electing distribution in up to 10 annual instalments and also may defer all or a portion of their cash compensation. Cash amounts deferred may be allocated to: an account earning interest, compounded quarterly, at the rate equal to the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. at the end of each calendar quarter; a restricted stock unit account; or a combination of such accounts. In 2022, seven directors elected to defer some or all of their cash compensation.

As an employee of the Company, Mr. Weeks is not compensated separately for service on the Board or any of its Committees.

**2022 Director Compensation**

The following table outlines 2022 director compensation.

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Annual Equity Grant** | $205,000, comprised of 4,797 restricted stock units (valued as of the grant date) under our 2019 Equity Plan for Non-Employee Directors. These RSUs are not settled or available for transfer or sale until six months after the date of a director's retirement or resignation. The grants are approved by the Board annually at its February meeting and directors joining after the February meeting receive a pro-rated grant for that year. |
| **Annual Cash Retainer** | $110,000. The retainer amount is approved by the Board annually at its February meeting and directors joining after the February meeting receive a pro-rated retainer for that year. |
| **Lead Independent<br> Director Additional<br> Cash Compensation** | $40000 |

Non-employee directors are reimbursed for expenses (including costs of travel, food, and lodging) incurred in attending Board, committee, and shareholder meetings. Directors are also reimbursed for reasonable expenses associated with participation in director education programs.

**Directors' Charitable Giving Programs**

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. Directors who had not yet achieved five years' tenure as of October 5, 2016 were permitted to participate after five years of Board service. In 2022, all directors except Messrs. Brun and Ferguson 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. The maximum matching gift amount available from the Foundation on behalf of each participant in the Program is $7,500 per calendar year.

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

**Changes to Director Compensation in 2023**

In February 2023, the Board approved an increase to the non-employee directors' annual equity grant from $205,000 to $215,000 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, which will not be available for transfer or sale until six months after the date of a director's retirement or resignation from the Board.

**Stock Ownership Guidelines**

We believe in the importance of equity ownership by directors and executive management as a direct link to shareholders, and require all directors, named executive officers (NEOs), and non-NEO executive management to achieve the required levels of ownership under our stock ownership guidelines within five years of their election, appointment or designation. Restricted, direct and indirectly owned shares, and current and deferred restricted stock units, each count toward our stock ownership guidelines. An NEO who falls below the ownership requirement for any reason will have up to three years to return to the required minimum ownership level. All directors and NEOs who have been so for five years or more currently comply with the guidelines.

In December 2020, we increased the stock ownership guidelines applicable to non-NEO executive Senior Leadership Team members as a multiple of base salary from 1.5 to 3 in line with all NEOs other than the CEO whose multiple remains 6 times base salary. Newly-appointed Senior Leadership Team members have five years to comply with the new guidelines.

Our directors and executive management are also subject to our anti-hedging and anti-pledging policies. For further information, see "Anti-Hedging Policy" and "Anti-Pledging Policy" both on page 76.

**Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports**

SEC rules require disclosure of those directors, officers, and beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common stock who fail to timely file reports required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 during the most recent fiscal year. Based on review of reports furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, all Section 16(a) filing requirements were met with the exception of two Form 4s for Director Burns, covering the sale of 102 and 5 shares of common stock, respectively, that were not timely filed due to an administrative error at the reporting person's financial advisor, who disposed of the shares held in a separately managed trust account unbeknownst to the reporting person.

(4) The Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and Performance Share Units (PSUs) represented entitled the holder to receive the same number of
unrestricted shares of common stock upon the lapse of restrictions, at which point shareholders will have sole investment and voting power.
RSUs and PSUs that will not vest within 60 days of the date of this table are not considered beneficially owned for purposes of the table
and therefore are not included in the Total Shares Beneficially Owned column
because the holders are not entitled to voting rights or investment control until the restrictions lapse. However, ownership of these
RSUs and PSUs further aligns our Directors and Executive Officers' interests with those of our shareholders.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

![](glw4120101_def14ax59x1.jpg)

Our Board of Directors requests that shareholders approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (NEOs), pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), as disclosed in this proxy statement, which includes the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and narrative disclosure on executive compensation.

While this vote is advisory and not binding on the Company, the Board of Directors values shareholder opinion and will consider the outcome of the vote in determining our executive compensation programs.

**Say on Pay Proposal**

Our Board maintains a "pay for performance" philosophy that forms the foundation for all Compensation and Talent Management Committee decisions regarding executive compensation. In addition, our compensation programs are designed to facilitate strong corporate governance, foster collaboration and support our short- and long-term corporate strategies.

The Compensation Discussion and Analysis portion of this proxy statement contains a detailed description of our executive compensation philosophy and programs, the compensation decisions the Compensation and Talent Management Committee has made under those programs and the factors considered in making those decisions. Our shareholders have affirmed their support of our executive pay programs in our outreach discussions and in their ongoing support of our Say on Pay proposals. We believe that we have created a compensation program deserving of shareholder support.

For these reasons, the Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote in favor of the resolution:

RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the SEC's executive compensation disclosure rules (which includes the Compensation Discussion & Analysis, the compensation tables and related narrative disclosure on executive compensation) is hereby APPROVED.

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

**Executive Summary**

**Plan Design and Components**

Our compensation program is designed to attract and retain the most talented employees within our industry segments and to incentivize them to perform at the highest level while executing on our strategic priorities. In order to retain and motivate this caliber of talent, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee (the Committee) is committed to promoting a performance-based and team-based culture. Performance-based compensation is tied to financial metrics developed to incent management to deliver on our strategic priorities and our commitments to our shareholders. **The majority of our executive compensation is directly aligned with our Company financial performance and the financial performance of our Market-Access Platforms (MAPs), or linked to the value of our common stock.**

Our key compensation program principles are as follows:

• Pay for performance

• Provide a competitive base salary

• Apply a team-based management approach

• Increase the proportion of performance-based incentive compensation for more senior positions

• Align the interests of our executive group with shareholders

**Our Short-Term Incentives**

Short-term incentives are designed to reward NEOs for Corning's consolidated annual financial and operational performance supporting our strategic priorities and team-based management approach. Corning has two short-term incentive plans: the Performance Incentive Plan (PIP) and GoalSharing.

In 2021, in response to a recommendation from the Committee, we adjusted PIP for our NEOs from 100% based on corporate financial performance to 50% based on corporate financial performance and 50% based on the average financial performance of each of our MAPs, in order to put greater emphasis on the financial performance of the MAPs.

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

**Our Long-Term Incentives**

We believe it is important that our long-term incentives drive the success of our strategic priorities and generate long-term value for our shareholders. We also believe it is important for a significant portion of LTI to be in the form of equity to align our executives' financial interests with those of our shareholders.

Beginning in 2020 and in response to shareholder feedback, we realigned the form and payout method of the LTI plan by reducing the cash payout from 60% to 25% (paid in CPUs) and increasing the equity payout from 40% to 75% (paid in PSUs and RSUs). We also increased the overall weighting of corporate financial performance from 60% to 70%, with the addition of PSUs (and elimination of stock options). The LTI plan awards now include 45% Performance Stock Units (PSUs), 25% Cash Performance Units (CPUs) and 30% Restricted Stock Units (RSUs).

• 2022 CPU and PSU payouts will be based 70% on Adjusted Free Cash Flow, and 30% on Core Net Sales with annual results being averaged over a three-year performance period (2022–2024). In addition to these metrics, CPUs and PSUs will be subject to an ROIC modifier of up to +/-10% based on ROIC improvement over the three-year period against pre-established objectives.

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

**2022 Performance Metrics**

Our key compensation metrics focus and align leadership on the key drivers for creating long-term value for our shareholders. In 2022, the Committee determined that our prior year key performance metrics – core net sales, profitability (as measured by Core EPS) and a cash flow measure (as measured by adjusted free cash flow) – were still the appropriate performance measures for 2022. In addition, in 2021 the Committee adjusted PIP for our NEOs from 100% weighted on corporate financial performance to 50% weighted on corporate financial performance and 50% weighted on the average financial performance of each of our MAPs to put greater emphasis on the financial performance in each of our five MAPs, and **in 2022 a business core gross margin percentage goal was added to the goals for each of our MAPs to emphasize the importance of improving our core gross margin.**

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

**2022 Performance Overview: Optimism and Growth Despite an Uncertain and Challenging Environment**

Despite an exceptionally challenging global business environment, including the continued rippling effects of COVID-19, global supply chain disruptions, higher inflation and more, Corning grew sales and advanced its strategic initiatives in 2022. Keeping our key objectives in mind, management and the Board focused on delivering value to our customers and stakeholders despite lower demand in markets constituting nearly half of Company sales.

|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| Performance Results | Performance Results | Performance Results | Performance Results |
| ![](glw4120101_def14ax63x1.jpg) | ![](glw4120101_def14ax64x1.jpg) | ![](glw4120101_def14ax64x3.jpg) | ![](glw4120101_def14ax64x4.jpg) |

| **In core net sales <br> Up 5% YoY** | **In core EPS Up 1% YoY** | **Core gross margin** | **In adjusted free cash flow** |

---

Beginning in 2020 with the onset of the pandemic, Corning defined two core priorities–ensuring the safety of our employees and workplaces and delivering for our customers. To ensure reliable customer product supply, we took measures to mitigate interruption of our raw material supplies. However, as a result of prioritizing our commitment to fulfill our customer needs in a higher inflation environment, our profitability and cash flow lagged our sales growth in 2022. The cost mitigation efforts and price increases we implemented across 2022, along with capacity and inventory adjustments made in the latter half of the year, were aimed at improving margins and having a positive impact on cash flow moving forward.

**Leveraging Our Focused Portfolio of Compelling Long-Term Growth Opportunities**

While the uncertain global macroeconomic environment continues to present challenges in our markets, we have a compelling set of long-term growth opportunities that we are capturing due to our focused and cohesive business portfolio—with more to come.

• **In Optical Communications**, we are building
 on a record $5 billion of sales in 2022, and believe we are in the early phases of a multi-year build cycle in multiple segments
 of our market, driven by broadband, 5G densification and cloud computing.

• **In Solar**, we continue to capture significant upside tied to growth in the renewable energy industry.

• **In Display**, we have maintained stable price and a strong market position throughout the industry correction that took hold mid-year; we expect to emerge from the correction with strengthened customer relationships and a refreshed manufacturing fleet, critical to capturing long-term growth in large screen televisions.

• **In Mobile Consumer Electronics**, we expect to continue outperforming the market through our product leadership, our "More Corning" approach, and our ongoing collaboration with industry leaders as we anticipate ongoing strong adoption of our innovations.

• **In Automotive**, we have been outperforming the market throughout a period of industry constraint and remain focused on building on our $100-per-car content opportunity.

• **In Life Sciences**, we are focused on delivering differentiated tools to support the discovery and delivery of cell-based medications and modern drugs.

We continue to make progress on the leadership priorities we introduced in 2019 shortly before the pandemic. We set a goal to grow core net sales at a compound annual growth rate of 6 to 8 percent from 2019 through 2022. We exceeded that target and grew at greater than 8% CAGR, even in the face of the ongoing external challenges all companies confronted. We also have advanced significant strategic initiatives. We are delivering key fiber-to-the home and data

center solutions to meet surging demand, capitalizing on our gasoline particulate filter opportunities, and have introduced other new products that have driven strong performance despite depressed end-markets. We have also ramped our large scale display glass facilities to extend our leadership in the glass for large televisions, and made significant progress in our emerging innovations, such as automotive glass and pharmaceutical packaging. In summary, **we have delivered multi-year sales growth in a challenging environment, extended our leadership positions across our markets, and paved the way for future growth.**

**Our Performance Metrics in Context**

![](glw4120101_def14ax65x4.jpg)In 2022, we again set rigorous targets across our key performance metrics. The metrics we use to measure our performance include Core Earnings Per Share, Core Net Sales, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, with a 3-year ROIC modifier on our LTI (see below). These metrics and ROIC modifier were chosen because they are key drivers for creating long-term shareholder value and the financial indicators that best reflect the achievement of the strategic and operational objectives set out for our management team.

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions, and an inflationary economic environment, Corning has taken consistent action in the past three years to ensure the safety of our employees and workplaces and to serve the needs of our customers. We remain focused on growth in all of our businesses and our approach resulted in **total shareholder return that outperformed the S&P 500 in 2022**. Corning's cohesive and focused portfolio continues to provide strategic resilience in the current environment, and Corning remains well positioned to deliver long-term growth for our shareholders.

While share price performance is extremely important and considered by the Committee, our executive compensation program, particularly for our CEO, is heavily based on our performance against underlying metrics that support long-term shareholder value creation, including the financial and operational metrics identified by our shareholders as meaningful for our business. We believe Corning remains in an excellent position to execute on our leadership priorities and deliver sustainable shareholder value.

Shareholder Returns

Corning prioritizes delivering returns to our shareholders. In February 2023 we announced a 3.7% increase in our dividend per common share, representing the 12th consecutive annual increase and a 180% cumulative increase over the past 10 years. The second chart below shows Corning's Total Shareholder Return (TSR) for one-, three- and five-year periods, consisting of stock price appreciation and reinvestment of common dividends, as compared with the TSR of the S&P 500 over the same periods.

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions, and an inflationary economic environment, Corning has taken consistent action across the past three years to protect our employees and to serve our customers and communities. We remain focused on growth in all of our businesses and our approach resulted in **total shareholder return that outperformed the S&P 500 in 2022**. Corning's cohesive and focused portfolio continues to provide strategic resilience in the current environment, and Corning remains well positioned to deliver long-term growth for our shareholders.

The Company's TSR performance is important for management and the Board. However, since our performance metrics are used to incent employee behavior, our plan performance metrics (i.e., core net sales, core EPS, adjusted free cash flow and ROIC) reflect drivers for creating long-term shareholder value that our employees can actively impact via their performance.

**Shareholder Engagement**

![](glw4120101_def14ax67x1.jpg)**Strong Say on Pay Results.** At our 2022 Annual Meeting of shareholders, our Say on Pay proposal received support from 90% of votes cast. **We have received an average of 91% support for our Say on Pay proposal over of the past three years.** We view this level of shareholder support as an affirmation of our current pay practices and pay for performance philosophy.

**Shareholder Outreach.** **During the 2022-2023 proxy season, we contacted shareholders representing 58% of our outstanding shares to encourage engagement, and met with shareholders representing approximately 43% of our outstanding shares, including eight out of our ten largest shareholders.** At these annual meetings, executive management, Board members, Investor Relations and the Corporate Secretary engage with our largest investors to understand their perspectives on a variety of matters, including executive compensation, risk oversight, board composition and leadership structure, corporate governance policies and corporate sustainability practices.

![](glw4120101_def14ax67x2.jpg)Investors were complimentary of our GHG reduction goals, gender pay equity success, and board diversity, and continue to be pleased with our strategic priorities and business results. Corning's efforts to promote a diverse and equitable workforce were widely viewed as a differentiating element of the Company with positive actions toward diversity at both the board and Company level. We received positive feedback and heard general support of our executive compensation program and design changes made in recent years. Shareholders were pleased with the use of our strategic metrics to align executive incentives with long-term value creation. We look forward to continuing these engagements and incorporating shareholder feedback into our compensation program design.

We have taken into account the views of our shareholders when making many of our governance and disclosure decisions in recent years, including:

• Expanding disclosure regarding our supply chain sustainability
practices and resiliency, as well as supplier practices and compliance with our supplier code of conduct

• Expanding disclosure about the board's role in strategic
planning and risk oversight

• Enhancing disclosure and governance regarding political contributions

• Publishing a Sustainability Report and setting GHG emission
reduction goals

• Disclosing our annual EEO-1 Report concurrently with our Sustainability
Report

• Enhancing disclosure about board refreshment and board diversity

• Enhancing disclosure about human capital management and the
efforts of our Office of Racial Equity and Social Unity

• Adjusting our executive LTI program design as described below

• Adopting proxy access

We also communicate with shareholders through a number of routine forums, including quarterly earnings presentations, SEC filings, Proxy Statements, our online annual communications, our Sustainability Report, our Diversity and Inclusion Report, the Annual Meeting of shareholders, investor meetings and conferences and web communications. We relay shareholder feedback and trends on corporate governance and sustainability developments to our Board and its Committees and work with them to both enhance our practices and improve our disclosures.

In addition to our annual shareholder outreach, throughout the year we engage with a wide range of constituents including other institutional shareholders, retail shareholders, proxy advisory firms, and ESG rating firms, among others, in order to address questions or concerns, provide prospective on Company policies and practices, and to incorporate feedback as appropriate.

| | |
|:---|:---|
| •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Wendell P. Weeks: 150% (unchanged)<br> •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Edward A. Schlesinger: 80%<br> •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; R. Tony Tripeny: 95% (prorated for time worked) | •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Lawrence D. McRae: 85% (unchanged)<br> •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Eric S. Musser: 120%<br> •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Lewis A. Steverson: 95% |

---

PIP was based 50% on corporate financial performance (75% of which was based on core EPS and 25% on core net sales) and 50% on the average financial performance of the five MAPs (25% of which was based on core net sales, 25% on adjusted free cash flow and 30% on core NPAT of each MAP and 20% on core gross margin percent, respectively.). 2022 corporate performance was 66% weighted at 50% and the average financial performance of Corning's five MAPs was 59% weighted at 50%, resulting in a final PIP result of 62.5% of target.

GoalSharing is designed to motivate employees to work together to achieve the most critical goals in each business unit. All Corning employees are eligible for GoalSharing with a target opportunity generally equal to 5% of base salary. GoalSharing awards may be 0% to 10% of base salary and the award is weighted 25% on corporate financial performance (using the same metrics as under the PIP) and 75% on the applicable business unit performance.

NEOs' GoalSharing is based 25% on corporate financial performance and 75% on the average of the results of all business unit plans. In 2022 the NEO's GoalSharing was earned at 5.65% of base salary.

PIP and GoalSharing payouts are each capped at 200%.

See page 69 for details on the 2022 PIP and GoalSharing metrics and actual results for the year.

**Long-Term Incentives**

Beginning in 2020, the Long-Term Incentive (LTI) Plan components were realigned. The percentage of LTI provided in cash (CPUs) was reduced from 60% to 25% and the percentage of LTI delivered in equity was increased from 40% to 75%. Stock options were eliminated. PSUs were added with PSUs comprising 45% of the LTI target and RSUs comprising 30% of the target. The total percentage of LTI tied to corporate financial performance increased from 60% to 70%, with the other 30% tied to the value of our common stock.

We believe it is important to link LTI metrics to financial measures that will drive the success of our strategic priorities and generate long-term value for our shareholders. We also believe it is important for a significant percentage of LTI to be in the form of equity to align our executives' financial interests with those of our shareholders.

LTI targets are established by the Committee for each NEO annually in February. Mr. Weeks' 2022 LTI target was $12.65 million. Other NEOs' targets may be found in footnote 2 to the Summary Compensation Table on pages 77–78 and range from $2 million to $4.75 million.

**Additional Context for Core Net Sales Metric**

**Core net sales**, which is a metric used in both our STI (PIP) and LTI plans, is a primary indicator of Corning's long- and short-term success. Evaluating performance against predetermined net sales targets provides insight into how well the Company has both retained and grown sales, accounting for both organic growth efforts and the impact of acquisitions.

We use core net sales as a performance measure in our annual GoalSharing and PIP plans because those GoalSharing impacts every employee and PIP impacts over 8,000 employees. In this way, every employee has goal alignment with Corning's growth goals. Core net sales is also included as a performance measure in the LTI plan, impacting approximately 350 senior executives and key employees, because those employees are responsible for driving the long-term financial growth of the Company.

**Incorporating core net sales performance into both STI and LTI plans allows for a comprehensive evaluation of Corning's ability to establish sustainable sales growth while also addressing near-term market fluctuations, which drives both short- and long-term value.** Core net sales is a "duplicate goal" for only about 350 our of approximately 57,000 employees, and the Committee believes the increased focus on core net sales growth is appropriate for that smaller group of executives given the importance of sales growth for Corning over time.

**How Corning Uses Other Metrics**

In addition to corporate financial measures, each year the Company establishes key operational objectives, typically linked to key business, technology, financial, supply chain and human capital goals. These operational objectives are, in turn, cascaded into division and operational unit annual objectives. Unit GoalSharing plans contain goals linked to those unit objectives, creating alignment with the key Company operational objectives.

Other important initiatives such as sustainability, diversity, and safety that the Company continuously monitors are factored into short-term incentives for employees directly responsible for such efforts. Acknowledging that specific operational objectives and other special initiatives are reflected in operational unit annual objectives and other focused short-term incentives, the Committee has elected to focus on key financial metrics in the design of executive compensation, as described in this CD&A.

**2022 Performance and Compensation Alignment**

In 2022, we set challenging goals across our portfolio through our "More Corning" strategy, in which we sell more Corning content into the products consumers already buy through each of our Market-Access Platforms. For the three-year performance period ending in 2022, 2020 CPUs and PSUs earned 148.5% of target, reflecting three-year core net sales growth CAGR of more than 8%, cumulative three-year adjusted free cash flow of over $3.7B and a 250 basis point improvement in ROIC. While we are pleased to have delivered near-target core net sales growth in such a challenging year, our profitability and cash flow results were well below target. Our blended PIP result of 62.5% and long-term incentive performance result of 49% (which impacts the 2022 performance component of the three open three-year cycles of CPUs and PSUs) demonstrate that our short- and long-term payouts are aligned with our performance in the areas most important to the Company — sales growth, cash generation and profitability.

See page 62 for more performance highlights.

Details of our financial targets for 2022 compared to 2021 actual results are shown on the chart on page 63 and demonstrate the rigor we apply to setting targets for compensation purposes.

**LTI: 2022 CPU and PSU Performance Measures**

![](glw4120101_def14ax71x2.jpg)

\*Adjusted free cash flow goals are not set with reference to the prior year's goal or results and are set independently each year. Refer to Appendix A for additional information on Adjusted Free Cash Flow for compensation purposes.

Please see page 6 for more information about our Core Performance Measures and Appendix A for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

**LTI: CPU and PSU ROIC Modifier for the 3-Year LTI Plan Ending December 31, 2022 3-year ROIC improvement**

![](glw4120101_def14ax71x3.jpg)

We define ROIC as core net income before interest, divided by invested capital. Core net income before interest is calculated using constant exchange rates for Japanese yen, South Korean won, Chinese yuan, new Taiwan dollar, and the euro against the U.S. dollar, and a constant tax rate of 21%. Invested capital is the sum of total assets less total liabilities and debt.

• **PSUs and CPUs** represent 45% and 25% of the annual target LTI value, respectively. Payout is based on cash generation and sales
growth—measures that support our long-term financial health and success. The 2022 performance measures for PSUs and CPUs are:

1) Adjusted free cash flow (70%) which focuses on generating cash to ensure the Company's financial stability and to allow for investment in innovation and future growth, and

2) Core net sales (30%) which focuses on growth.

**Actual CPUs and PSUs earned are based on the average of the actual performance for each year in the three-year period, and are subject to an ROIC modifier of up to ±10% (for the years 2022, 2023 and 2024).** CPUs and PSUs granted in 2022 will be vested and released (in the case of PSUs) and paid out (in the case of CPUs) in 2025 based on pre-established performance goals, which are set at the start of each respective year, and the three-year ROIC modifier which is established at the beginning of the three-year performance period.

See page 61 for details on the 2022 PSU and CPU metrics and actual results for the year as well as the results for the 3-year plan ending in 2022, covering the performance period from 2020-2022.

• **RSUs** represent 30% of the annual target LTI value.
The number of RSUs granted is determined based on the closing stock price on the grant date (the first business day in April), and awards
cliff vest approximately three years from the grant date.

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

**CEO Compensation**

Over the past eighteen years, under the leadership of Mr. Weeks, Corning has grown significantly, achieved the lowest cost position and market leadership in key businesses, and created new-to-the-world product categories, such as Corning® Gorilla® Glass, heavy-duty diesel substrates and filters, customized fiber-to-the-home solutions and Corning Valor® Glass. During his tenure, Corning's workforce has also increased by approximately 36,000 employees, or 70%.

Mr. Weeks' significant experience and tenure as a CEO has been of particular value to the Company and its Directors as we navigated the pandemic, supply chain disruptions, and the current inflationary economic environment, having successfully steered the Company through other periods of significant uncertainty.

• **Base salary** – Mr. Weeks' 2022 base salary
was increased by 3.25% in July 2022 from $1,530,000 to $1,580,000 in line with the annual increase for all other U.S. based employees.

• **Short-Term Incentives** – 2022 cash PIP and GoalSharing
both remained unchanged with targets of 150% of base and 5% of base salary respectively.

• **Long-Term Incentives** – target increased from
$11.65 to $12.65 million reflecting a strong 2021 performance year.

Ninety-one percent of Mr. Weeks' target pay is directly tied to Corning's business, operating and financial performance and stock price.

**Robust Compensation Program Governance**

Corning has rigorous and robust governance with respect to its executive compensation plan:

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

**Employee Benefits and Perquisites**

**Employee Benefits:** Our NEOs are eligible to participate in the same employee benefits plans as all other eligible U.S. salaried employees. These plans include medical, dental, life insurance, disability, matching gifts, qualified defined benefit and defined contribution plans. We also maintain non-qualified defined benefit and defined contribution retirement and long-term disability plans with the same general features and benefits as our qualified plans for all U.S. salaried employees affected by tax law compensation, contribution or deduction limits.

In addition to the standard benefits available to all eligible U.S. salaried employees, the NEOs are eligible for the benefits and perquisites described in this section.

**Executive Supplemental Pension Plan (ESPP):** We maintain an ESPP to reward and retain long-serving individuals who are critical to executing Corning's innovation strategy. Our non-qualified ESPP covers approximately 23 active participants, including all of the NEOs. In 2006, we capped the percentage of cash compensation earned as a retirement benefit under the ESPP at a maximum of 50% of final average pay for 25 or more years of service, a change that applies to all the NEOs. The definition of pay used to determine benefits includes base salary and annual cash bonuses. Long-term cash or equity incentives are not included and do not affect retirement benefits. Executives must have at least ten years of service to be vested under this plan. As of December 31, 2022, all NEOs except Mr. Steverson meet the ten-year vesting requirement.

While we seek to maintain well-funded qualified retirement plans, we do not fund our non-qualified retirement plans.

For additional details of the ESPP benefits and plan features, please refer to the section entitled "Retirement Plans" on page 85.

**Executive Physical and Wellness:** All executives are eligible for an annual physical exam in addition to wellness programs sponsored by Corning for all employees. The cost of the physical is reported under perquisites in the Summary Compensation Tables.

**Other Executive Perquisites:** We provide the NEOs with an allowance that can be used for home security, modest personal aircraft usage, and limited financial counselling services. Each NEO is responsible for all taxes on the imputed income resulting from these perquisites.

Given the limited commercial flight options available in the Corning, New York area, the Committee believes that a well-managed program of limited personal aircraft use provides an extremely important benefit at a reasonable cost to the Company. We closely monitor business and personal usage of our planes and limit personal usage to keep it at a low percentage of total usage. The Committee establishes annual personal aircraft usage caps under this program (both hours and absolute dollar value) for each NEO. The established cap for the CEO was 100 hours and $170,000; the cap for Mr. Musser was 90 hours and $147,500; the cap for the other NEOs was approximately half this level or lower. Actual utilization in 2022 fell well below these caps. For additional details, refer to footnotes relating to "All Other Compensation" included with the Summary Compensation Table starting on page 77.

**Executive Severance:** We have entered into severance agreements with each NEO. The severance agreements provide clarity for both Corning and the executive if the executive's employment terminates. By having an agreement in place, we avoid the uncertainty, negotiations and potential litigation that may otherwise occur in the event of termination. The agreements are competitive with market practices at many other large companies and are helpful in retaining senior executives. Additional details can be found under "Arrangements with Named Executive Officers" on page 88.

CORNING 2023 PROXY STATEMENT 73

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

**Executive Change-in-Control Agreements:** The Committee believes that it is in the best interests of shareholders, employees and the communities in which Corning operates to ensure an orderly process if a change in control were to occur. The Committee also believes it is important to prevent the loss of key management personnel (who would be difficult to replace) that may occur in connection with a potential or actual change in control. Therefore, we have provided each NEO with a change-in-control agreement (separate from the severance agreements described above). The change-in-control agreements provide that an executive's employment must be terminated or effectively terminated in connection with a change in control in order to receive severance benefits. Additional details about the specific agreements can be found under "Arrangements with Named Executive Officers – Change-in-Control Agreements" on page 90.

**In 2012, the Committee approved updated forms of agreements for all corporate officers entering into change-in-control agreements after July 2004. These agreements contain no provision for gross-ups for excise taxes and cap severance and other benefits at 2.99 times base salary plus target bonus, with cash severance for most officers limited to 2 times base salary plus target bonus. Messrs. Steverson, Schlesinger and Musser have the new form of agreements, whereas Messrs. Weeks and McRae have grandfathered agreements that were entered into prior to July 2004.**

**Compensation Peer Group**

Corning is a diversified technology company with five reportable business segments. The majority of our businesses do not have U.S. public company peers. Most of our businesses compete with non-U.S. companies in Asia and Europe, or privately-held companies that do not provide comparable executive compensation disclosure and, while such businesses may be a competitor to one of our businesses, is not a peer to our Company as a whole. In attempting to identify peer companies for compensation purposes, Corning must look to globally diversified companies or innovation companies in other industries to find organizations of similar size and complexity (when viewed in terms of revenues, net income, market capitalization, assets and number of employees). These companies, and not competitors to our individual businesses, are those included in our Compensation Peer Group.

&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Our largest competitors and most relevant financial performance peers are not U.S. public companies.**<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **As a result, Corning looks to globally diversified companies or innovation companies in other industries to find companies of similar size and complexity.**<br>

We currently participate in and use several executive compensation surveys for NEO positions. Primary surveys are the Willis Towers Watson General Industry Executive Compensation Survey, the Equilar TrueView Survey and Aon Hewitt Total Compensation Measurement Survey for Executives. These surveys provide general market data for relevant positions in companies with revenues and market capitalization similar to Corning's in both the technology industry and in general industry.

**2022 Compensation Peer Group**

Our 2022 Compensation Peer Group is set forth below.

Given the growth of the Company over the past several years, in 2022 the Committee (with the assistance and advice of its consultant, Frederic W. Cook & Co.) reviewed and approved changes to the Compensation Peer Group removing two companies (Thermo Fischer Scientific and Broadcom) and adding seven new companies (Honeywell International, 3M Company, Illinois Tool Works, Emerson Electric, Amphenol Corporation, IQVIA Holdings and DuPont de Nemours). This had the net affect of increasing the Compensation Peer Group from 21 companies to 26 companies with the goal of creating a data set of sufficient size which would not require further update for several years, outside of adjustments for peer M&A activity, etc.

Corning uses the Compensation Peer Group solely as a reference point, in combination with broader executive compensation surveys, to assess each NEO's target total direct compensation (i.e., base salary, STI and LTI target bonus, and the grant date fair value of long-term incentives). Our goal is to position our CEO's target total direct compensation within a competitive range of the Compensation Peer Group median. Median target total direct CEO compensation in the Compensation Peer Group was determined to be $15.2 million, and 75th percentile target total direct CEO compensation was $18.6 million, compared with Corning target total direct CEO compensation of $16.7 million. The Committee deems this above-median market position for CEO pay to be appropriate given (a) Mr. Weeks' strong performance in managing the complexity of the Company and (b) his years of experience in the role. Beyond the CEO, external data serves as a reference point, with internal equity and individual performance and impact being more important considerations in establishing a base salary and target total direct compensation for the other NEOs.

**Compensation Program – Other Governance Matters**

**Role of Compensation Consultant**

The Committee has authority to retain and terminate its compensation consultant, and to approve the consultant's fees and all other terms of such engagement. Since 2014, the Committee has retained executive compensation experts from Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (FW Cook).

In 2022, FW Cook attended all Committee meetings. FW Cook advises the Committee on all matters related to NEO and director compensation and assists the Committee in interpreting its data as well as data and recommendations received from the Company.

In 2022, the Company engaged Compensation Advisory Partners LLC (CAP) and Willis Towers Watson (WTW) to assist management and the Committee with various executive compensation matters.

The Committee conducted an independence review of FW Cook, CAP and WTW pursuant to SEC and NYSE rules, and concluded that the work of each firm for the Committee did not raise any conflicts of interest concerns. FW Cook provides no services to Corning other than the services rendered to the Committee.

**Role of Executive Management in the Executive Compensation Process**

Corning's Chief Human Resources Officer and SVP, Global Compensation and Benefits, working closely with other members of Corning's Human Resources, Law and Finance departments, are responsible for designing and implementing executive compensation programs and discussing with the Committee significant proposals or topics that affect executive compensation at the Company. The SVP, Global Compensation and Benefits, formulates the target total compensation recommendations for all executive officers (except the CEO) and reviews the recommendations for each of the other NEOs with the CEO. The NEOs do not recommend or suggest individual compensation actions that benefit them personally. The CEO may propose adjustments he deems appropriate before management's recommendations are submitted to the Committee. Recommendations

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

for the CEO's compensation are prepared by the Committee's independent compensation consultant (FW Cook) and are not discussed or reviewed with the CEO prior to the Committee's review and the CEO is not present for discussion of his compensation by the Committee. The Committee recommends the CEO's compensation to the Board annually for approval.

After the annual budget is finalized each year, the Committee receives management's recommendations for the annual bonus and long-term incentive plans performance metrics and sets the final targets for the year.

The CFO and the Corporate Controller attend the annual Committee meeting to review the CD&A and at least one of them attends the portion of the February Committee meeting where performance metrics are reviewed.

**Clawback Policy**

Our clawback policy gives the Committee the sole and absolute discretion to make retroactive adjustments to any cash or equity-based incentive compensation paid to executive officers and other key employees if such payment was based upon the achievement of financial results that were subsequently the subject of a restatement. The Committee has discretion to seek recovery of any amount that it determines was received inappropriately by such individuals.

**Anti-Hedging Policy**

Our written insider trading policy, which governs trading activity by directors, officers and employees, prohibits employees and directors from selling or buying publicly traded options on Corning stock, or trading in any Corning stock derivatives. Additionally, these individuals may not engage in transactions in which they may profit from short-term speculative swings in the value of Corning stock utilizing "short sales" or "put" or "call" options.

**Anti-Pledging Policy**

Our written insider trading policy, which governs trading activity by directors, officers and employees, prohibits employees and directors from holding Corning stock in a margin account or pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan.

**Accounting Implications**

In designing our compensation and benefit programs, we review the accounting implications of our decisions. We seek to deliver cost-effective compensation and benefit programs that meet both the needs of the Company and our employees.

**Compensation and Talent Management Committee Report**

The Compensation and Talent Management Committee of the Board of Directors (the Committee), which is composed entirely of independent directors, is responsible to the Board of Directors and our shareholders for the oversight and administration of executive compensation at Corning. The Committee approves the principles guiding the Company's compensation philosophy, reviews and approves executive compensation levels (including cash compensation, equity incentives, benefits and perquisites for officers) and reports its actions to the Board of Directors for review and, as necessary, approval. The Committee is responsible for interpreting Corning's executive compensation plans and programs. In the event of any questions or disputes, the Committee may use its judgment and/or discretion to make final administrative decisions regarding these plans and programs.

<sup>(1)</sup> The amounts in the Stock Awards column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 of awards of restricted stock units and performance share units granted pursuant to the long-term incentive plan. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in Note 18 to the Company's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 13, 2023. This same method was used for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. There can be no assurance that the grant date fair value amounts will ever be realized. The awards granted on April 1, 2022 to Mr. Tripeny were prorated to reflect his retirement as of April 30, 2022.

<sup>(2)</sup> The amounts in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column reflect the sum of annual short-term incentive payments and earned cash performance units. All of the annual cash bonuses paid to the NEOs are performance-based. Cash bonuses are typically paid annually through two plans: (i) GoalSharing; and (ii) the Performance Incentive Plan (PIP). Awards earned under the 2022 GoalSharing plan were 5.65% of each NEO's year-end base salary and paid in February 2023. Awards earned under the 2022 PIP plan were 62.5% of each NEO's target times year-end base salary and paid in March 2023. Mr. Tripeny's 2022 PIP and GoalSharing awards were prorated to reflect amounts earned prior to his retirement on April 30, 2022.

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

In addition to the 2022 GoalSharing and PIP awards noted above, the amounts in column (f) also reflect the earned portions of CPU Awards granted in 2022, 2021 and 2020 on the basis of 2022 performance against established measures. 2022 CPU award payouts will be made in February 2025 based on actual corporate performance compared to the established performance goals averaged over three years (2022, 2023 and 2024) and subject to a ±10% 3-year ROIC modifier as described on page 70. 2021 and 2020 CPU award payouts are based on performance goals averaged over three years (2021, 2022 and 2023) and (2020, 2021 and 2022), respectively, and are also subject to a ±10% 3-year ROIC modifier. Performance goals for 2023 and 2024 are yet to be established. While the final payout amounts for 2022 and 2021 CPU awards are unknown, the table below reflects the earned amount of 2022, 2021 and 2020 CPU awards, which are reflected in column (f) above on the basis of 2022 performance metrics, and which exclude the portion of the 2022 award that remains unearned as a result of the 3-year performance modifier that is not yet known. The 3-year ROIC modifier for the period 2020-2022 is +10%, so the adjustment in the Summary Compensation Table as a result of this modifier is noted below since the amount "at risk" was previously unreported until final performance was known. Mr. Tripeny's 2022 CPU target is prorated to reflect time worked in 2022 prior to his retirement on April 30, 2022.

\* each annual portion is reduced by 10% before applying the annual performance factor since this 10% is subject to the 3-year ROIC modifier which result is not known until the end of the 3-year performance period

\*\* 2020 CPUs were subject to a +10% modifier based on 2020-2022 ROIC improvement result against pre-established objectives

The amount disclosed in column (f) consists of the total (A) + (B) + (C) + (D) + (E) + (F) shown in this footnote (2).

(3) The amounts in column (g) reflect the increase in the actuarial present value of the NEOs' benefits under all defined benefit pension plans established by the Company determined using interest rate and mortality rate assumptions consistent with those used in the Company's financial statements. Although column (g) is also used to report the amount of above market earnings on compensation that is deferred under the nonqualified deferred compensation plan, Corning does not have any above market earnings under its nonqualified deferred compensation plan, also referred to as the Supplemental Investment Plan. In 2022 the discount rate used to value the actuarial liability increased approximately 261 basis points from 2.88% to 5.49%. This change resulted in a decrease in the present value of pension benefits for all NEOs, which results in zero value reported in the Summary Compensation Table. Discount rate changes over the past several years have resulted in significant year-to-year fluctuations in the present value of pension benefits as shown below:

(4) The following table shows "All Other Compensation" amounts provided to the NEOs in 2022. Capped personal aircraft rights,
financial counseling services and home security are the only perquisites offered to the NEOs. The value of the personal aircraft rights
in the table below reflects the incremental cost of providing such perquisites and is calculated based on the average variable operating
costs to the Company. Hourly rates are developed using variable operating costs that include fuel costs, mileage, maintenance, crew travel
expense, catering and other miscellaneous variable costs. Fixed costs that do not change based on usage, such as pilot salaries, hangar
expense and general taxes and insurance, are excluded.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Amounts shown above reflect aircraft usage during 2022 although the Executive
Allowance runs from November 1 through October 31. Messrs. Weeks' and Steverson's use of Corning aircraft for travel to external
board meetings is also included.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) NEOs may use their executive allowance for residential security or financial
counseling services.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) These amounts include costs attributable to executive physicals, including
associated travel costs, an annual Board gift, and contributions made under the Corning Foundation Matching Gifts Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) This reflects Company-paid expenses relating to personal and residential security
benefitting Mr. Weeks and, through association, his family. Mr. Weeks' personal safety and security are of vital importance to the
Company's business and prospects, and the Board considers these costs to be appropriate. However, because these costs can be viewed
as conveying a personal benefit to Mr. Weeks, they are reported as perquisites in this column.

(1) The amounts shown in columns (d), (e) and (f) reflect the award amounts under (i) the Company's 2022 Performance Incentive Plan
(PIP) (ii) the 2022 GoalSharing Plan and (iii) the Cash Performance Units (CPUs) under the Corning 2022 LTI Plan. Awards under these plans
are paid in cash. If the threshold level of performance is not met, the payout will be 0%. If the performance target is met, the payout
will be 100% of the target award. If the maximum level of performance is met for GoalSharing and PIP, the payout will be 200% of the target
award, and 220% for CPUs, which represents the 200% performance metrics cap plus the maximum 10% ROIC modifier. PIP and GoalSharing awards
are based on the individual's 2022 bonus target and year-end base salary. Actual awards earned for CPUs are based on average performance
against established metrics over three years (2022, 2023, 2024), adjusted up or down by up to 10% based on ROIC results versus the pre-established
goal for the three-year period, and will be payable in February 2025.

(2) The amounts shown in columns (g), (h) and (i) reflect the award amounts under the Performance Stock Units under the Corning 2022 LTI
Plan (2022 PSUs) and the portion of PSUs granted in 2020 and 2021 attributable to 2022 performance goals. Awards under this plan are paid
in stock. If the threshold level of performance is not met, the payout will be 0%. If the performance target is met, the payout will be
100% of the target award. If the maximum level of performance is met for 2022 PSUs, the payout will be 220% of the target award which
represents the 200% performance metrics cap plus the maximum 10% ROIC modifier. Actual awards earned for 2022 PSUs are based on average
performance against established metrics over three years, adjusted up or down by up to 10% based on ROIC results versus the pre-established
goal for the three-year period. 2020 PSUs will be payable in April 2023, 2021 PSUs will be payable in April 2024 and 2022 PSUs will be
payable in April 2025. The target number of 2022 PSU awards are 156,559; 24,752; 31,559; 32,178; 58,787; and 47,030 to Messrs. Weeks,
Schlesinger, Tripeny, McRae, Musser and Steverson, respectively. Because the grant date for a PSU occurs when the performance goals are
approved, the reported number of shares reflects the portion of the 2022 PSUs for which performance goals have been set (i.e., 1/3 of
the total award).

(3) These amounts reflect the total grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 of the portion of the 2020 PSUs
pursuant to the Corning 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which portion is attributable to 2022 performance measures established by the Committee
(i.e., 1/3 of the total award). Amounts shown correspond to the amounts set forth in column (d) for 2022 of the Summary Compensation Table.
In 2020, Mr. Musser was awarded additional PSUs in connection with his promotion to President and Chief Operating Officer, and Mr. Steverson
was awarded additional PSUs in connection with his expanded role as Executive Vice President, Chief Legal and Administrative Officer,
which portion is attributable to 2022 performance measures (i.e., 1/3 of the total award)

(4) These amounts reflect the total grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 of the portion of the 2021 PSUs
pursuant to the Corning 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which portion is attributable to 2022 performance measures established by the Committee
(i.e., 1/3 of the total award). Amounts shown correspond to the amounts set forth in column (d) for 2022 of the Summary Compensation Table.

(5) These amounts reflect the total grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 of the portion of the 2022 PSUs
pursuant to the Corning 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which portion is attributable to 2022 performance measures established by the Committee
(i.e., 1/3 of the total award). Amounts shown correspond to the amounts set forth in column (d) for 2022 of the Summary Compensation Table.

(6) These amounts reflect the total grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 of restricted stock units granted
in calendar year 2022 pursuant to the Corning 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan and correspond to the amounts set forth in column (d) for
2022 of the Summary Compensation Table. Awards vest 100% three years after grant date.

2022, with the remainder being forfeited. 2022 CPUs and PSUs remain subject to performance pursuant to goals established by the Committee.

**Retirement Plans**

**Qualified Pension Plan**

Corning maintains a qualified defined benefit pension plan to provide retirement income to Corning's U.S.-based employees which was amended effective July 1, 2000, to include a cash balance component. All salaried and non-union hourly employees as of July 1, 2000, were given a choice to prospectively accrue benefits under the previously existing career average earnings formula or a cash balance formula, if so elected. Employees hired subsequent to July 1, 2000, earn benefits solely under the cash balance formula.

Benefits earned under the career average earnings formula are equal to 1.5% of plan compensation plus 0.5% of plan compensation on which employee contributions have been made. Under the career average earnings formula, participants may retire as early as age 55 with 5 years of service. Unreduced benefits are available when a participant attains the earlier of age 60 with 5 years of service or age 55 with 30 years of service. Otherwise, benefits are reduced 4% for each year by which retirement precedes the attainment of age 60. Pension benefits earned under the career average earnings formula are distributed in the form of a lifetime annuity with six years of payments guaranteed.

Benefits earned under the cash balance formula are expressed in the form of a hypothetical account balance. Each month a participant's cash balance account is increased by (1) pay credits based on the participant's plan compensation for that month and (2) interest credits based on the participant's hypothetical account balance at the end of the prior month. Pay credits vary between 3% and 8% based on the participant's age plus service at the end of the year. Interest credits are based on 10-year Treasury bond yields, subject to a minimum credit of 3.80%. Pension benefits under the cash balance formula may be distributed as either a lump sum of the participant's hypothetical account balance or an actuarial equivalent life annuity.

Messrs. Weeks, McRae and Musser are earning benefits under the career average earnings formula. Messrs. Schlesinger, Tripeny and Steverson are earning benefits under the cash balance formula. All of the active and currently-employed NEOs except Mr. Steverson are currently eligible to retire under the plan.

**Supplemental Pension Plan and Executive Supplemental Pension Plan**

Since 1986, Corning has maintained non-qualified pension plans to attract and retain its executive workforce by providing eligible employees with retirement benefits in excess of those permitted under the qualified plans. The benefits provided under the Supplemental Pension Plan (SPP) are equal to the difference between the benefits provided under the Corning Incorporated Pension Plan and benefits that would have been provided thereunder if not for the limitations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code).

CORNING 2023 PROXY STATEMENT 85

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

Each NEO participates in the Corning Incorporated Executive Supplemental Pension Plan (ESPP). Participants in the ESPP receive no benefits from the SPP, other than earned SPP benefits under the cash balance formula prior to their participation in the ESPP, if any (the value of which is subtracted from the final ESPP annuity benefit). Executives fully vest in their ESPP benefit upon attainment of age 50 with 10 years of service. All NEOs except Mr. Steverson are fully vested in the ESPP.

Under the ESPP, participants earn benefits based on the highest 60 consecutive months of average plan compensation over the last 120 months immediately preceding the date of termination of employment.

A change in the benefits provided under the ESPP formula was approved in December 2006. Following the change, gross benefits for all NEOs as determined under this plan are equal to 2.0% of average plan compensation multiplied by years of service up to 25 years (the "ESPP Formula").

Benefits earned under the Corning Incorporated Pension Plan and the cash balance formula of the SPP prior to ESPP participation, if any, will offset benefits earned under the ESPP.

Participants may retire as early as age 55 with 10 years of service. Unreduced benefits under the ESPP Formula are available when a participant attains the earlier of age 60 with 10 years of service or age 55 with 25 years of service. Participants with accrued benefits in excess of four times the annual compensation limitation under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code must be age 57 with 25 years of service to receive an unreduced benefit under the ESPP. Otherwise, benefits are reduced 4% for each year by which retirement precedes the attainment of age 60. Benefit reductions of 1% per year by which retirement precedes age 57 apply if the four-times-annual-compensation-limit rule noted above is in effect for the participant.

Benefits earned under the ESPP are distributed in the form of a lifetime annuity, with six years of payments guaranteed except for benefits earned under the cash balance formula of the SPP prior to becoming a participant in the ESPP, which is distributed as a lump sum of the participant's credited balance.

All NEOs except Mr. Steverson are currently eligible to retire under the ESPP.

**Pension Benefits**

The table below shows the actuarial present value of accumulated benefits payable to each of the NEOs, including the number of years of service credited to each such NEO, under the qualified pension plan and the ESPP. These amounts were determined using interest rate and mortality rate assumptions consistent with those used in the Company's financial statements with the exception of the assumed retirement age and the assumed probabilities of leaving employment prior to retirement. Retirement was assumed to occur at the earliest possible unreduced retirement age for each plan in which the executive participates. For purposes of determining the earliest unreduced retirement age, service was assumed to be granted until the actual date of retirement. For example, an executive under the ESPP formula who is age 50 with 20 years of service would be assumed to retire at age 55 due to eligibility of unreduced benefits at 25 years of service. No termination, disability or death was assumed to occur prior to retirement. Otherwise, the assumptions used are described in Note 12 to our Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 13, 2023.

(1) Under Formula A, years of service are capped at 25 years, in determining benefits under the ESPP.

The compensation considered for purposes of determining benefits under the qualified pension plan and the ESPP for the NEOs is the "Salary" plus the GoalSharing and PIP cash bonuses set forth in the Summary Compensation Table. Bonuses are included as compensation in the calendar year paid. Long-term cash or equity incentives are not (and have never been) considered as eligible earnings for determining retirement benefits under these plans. For the 2022 calendar year, the NEOs' eligible earnings and final average compensation were as follows:

**Non-qualified Deferred Compensation**

The table below shows the contributions, earnings and account balances for the NEOs in the Supplemental Investment Plan. Pursuant to the Company's Supplemental Investment Plan, the NEOs may choose to defer up to 75% of annual base salary and up to 75% of GoalSharing and PIP cash bonuses. The participant chooses from the same funds available under our Company Investment Plan (401(k)) in which to "invest" the deferred amounts. No cash is actually invested in the unfunded accounts under the Supplemental Investment Plan. Deferred amounts incur gains and losses based on the performance of the individual participant's investment fund selections. Participants may change their elections among these fund options. Corning does not have any above market earnings under its Supplemental Investment Plan. All of our current NEOs have more than three years of service with the Company, so all of the Company's matching contributions are fully vested. Participants cannot withdraw any amounts from their deferred compensation balances until retirement from the Company at or after age 55 with 5 years of service. Participants may elect to receive distributions as a lump sum payment or two to five annual installments. If an NEO leaves the Company prior to retirement, the account balance is distributed in a lump sum six months following the executive's departure.

Following his retirement, Mr. Tripeny received a lump sum distribution in November 2022 in accordance with his distribution election.

portion of their 2022 base salaries and participation by Messrs. Schlesinger, Tripeny, McRae and Steverson in the deferral of a portion
of the bonus received in 2022 for prior year performance.

(2) Reflects Company match on the Supplemental Investment Plan, which was credited to the account of the Named Executive Officers in 2022.
All of these amounts are included in the All Other Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table (and are also detailed in footnote

(3) Reflects aggregate earnings on each type of deferred compensation listed above. The earnings on deferred base salary and bonus payments
are calculated based on the actual returns from the same fund choices that Company employees have in the qualified 401(k) plan. Currently,
employees have 16 fund choices that they may select from. As nonqualified plans, these plans are unfunded, which means that no actual
dollars are invested in these funds. The Company does not provide any above-market interest rates or other special terms for any deferred
amounts. These amounts are not included in the Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings column of the Summary
Compensation Table.

**Arrangements with Named Executive Officers**

**Severance Agreements**

We have entered into severance agreements with each of our NEOs. All new executive severance agreements and executive change-in-control agreements entered into after July 2004, limit the benefits that may be provided to an executive to 2.99 times the executive's annual compensation of base salary plus target incentive payments. Messrs. Weeks and McRae have agreements which were in effect prior to July 2004. Messrs. Musser, Schlesinger and Steverson all have the new form of agreement.

**Severance Agreements—Mr. Weeks**

Under Mr. Weeks' severance agreement, if he is terminated involuntarily, and without cause, or as a result of disability, he is entitled to the following:

• Base salary, reimbursable expenses and annual bonus accrued and owing as of the date of termination (lump sum payment);

• A severance amount equal to 2.99 times the sum of his then-base salary plus his annual bonus amount (calculated at 100% of target)
(lump sum payment);

• Continued participation in the Company's benefit plans
for up to three years; and

• In the calendar year following the year in which the termination
occurs (subject to a six-month waiting period), the purchase of his principal residence by the Company upon request.

If however, Mr. Weeks is terminated for cause or he resigns, he would (1) be entitled to accrued, but unpaid salary (lump sum payment) and any reimbursable expenses accrued or owing to him and, if terminated for cause, (2) forfeit any outstanding stock awards.

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

**Severance Agreements—Other Named Executive Officers**

Under the severance agreements, an NEO is entitled to severance payments if he is terminated involuntarily other than for cause.

Generally, under the severance agreements, an NEO (other than Mr. Weeks) is entitled to receive the following:

• Accrued but unpaid base salary, reimbursable expenses, vacation
pay and the executive's target percentage for the annual bonus plans multiplied by the executive's salary, pro-rated to the
last day of the month closest to the termination date (lump sum payment);

• A severance amount equal to two times the executive's
then-base salary plus an annual bonus amount (an amount equal to executive's salary multiplied by the executive's target percentage
in effect on the termination date under the Company's Performance Incentive Plan and 5% target under the GoalSharing Plan) (lump
sum payment). However, if the base salary is greater than $599,000 then severance is the lesser of 3.5 times base salary (4 times base
for the Chief Operating Officer) or 2.99 times base salary plus target bonus;

• Continued medical, dental and hospitalization benefits for
24 months;

• In the calendar year following the year in which the termination
occurs (subject to a six-month waiting period), the purchase of his principal residence by the Company upon request; and

• Outplacement benefits up to a maximum amount of $50,000.

The following table reflects the amounts that would be payable under the various arrangements assuming termination occurred at December 31, 2022.

(1) Non-qualified plan benefits shown for all NEOs except Mr. Steverson are payable from the Executive Supplemental Pension Plan. The
timing and form of the benefits payable in the table above for a voluntary termination for all NEOs except Mr. Tripeny and Mr. Steverson
is as an immediate life annuity. Mr. Tripeny's form of payment being received is six-year certain and 50% joint and survivor. The
amount shown above reflects the 50% joint and survivor annuity after the six year certain period ends. During the six-year certain period,
Mr. Tripeny's annual annuity is $686,183. Mr. Steverson is not yet vested in his Executive Supplemental Pension Plan benefits. Mr.
Steverson would receive a non-qualified lump sum from the Supplemental Pension Plan for a voluntary termination.

(2) Non-qualified annuity payments in the event of death for Messrs. Schlesinger, McRae and Musser are as follows: $134,986 for six years
and $104,966 thereafter, $708,581 for six years and $550,622 thereafter, and $728,201 for six years and $539,391 thereafter, respectively.

(3) The value of welfare benefits continuation is estimated at $20,056 per year for three years for Mr. Weeks. Benefits continuation for
Messrs. Schlesinger and McRae is $30,375, Mr. Musser is $20,056, and Mr. Steverson is $20,144 per year respectively, for two years.

(4) Under the terms of the severance agreements, the NEOs may also request that Corning purchase their principal residence in the Corning,
New York area. Corning is unable to accurately and precisely estimate the value that may be delivered under this provision as it requires
an independent appraisal of the executive's residence, as well as, for Mr. Weeks, a calculation of the executive's purchase
price of the residence plus a percentage of documented improvements made to the property. These values are not maintained by Corning in
its normal course of business. They are required only if an executive is terminated. Such purchase must be finalized in the calendar year
following the year in which the executive's termination occurred (subject to a six-month waiting period).

(5) Mr. Tripeny would not be eligible for severance benefits due to his retirement on April 30, 2022. The voluntary column shows amounts
he will receive from the retirement plans.

**Change-in-Control Agreements**

We have entered into change-in-control agreements with each of the NEOs. These agreements are intended to provide for continuity of management if there is a change in control of the Company. These agreements will be effective until the executive leaves the employ of Corning or until the executive ceases to be an officer of Corning.

If during the term of the agreement a change in control occurs, the restrictions on all restricted stock and restricted stock units held by the NEO lapse, and any stock options vest and become immediately exercisable. Cash performance units and performance stock units are adjusted based on actual performance for completed performance periods and assumed performance of 100% for incomplete performance and adjusted CPUs and PSUs are vested and released immediately.

The NEOs are also entitled to severance and other benefits upon certain terminations of employment following or in connection with a change in control.

• For Mr. Weeks, benefits are payable if he (i) is terminated
without cause or resigns for "good reason," each during a "potential change in control period" or (ii) resigns
or is terminated for any reason or within four years following a change in control.

• For the NEOs (other than Mr. Weeks), benefits are payable
if their employment is terminated (other than for cause, by reason of death or disability, or by the executive for any reason) during
a potential change in control period, or within two years following a change in control.

90 CORNING 2023 PROXY STATEMENT

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

The benefits payable are as follows:

• Accrued but unpaid base salary, reimbursable expenses, vacation
pay and the executive's target percentage for the annual bonus plans multiplied by the executive's salary, pro-rated to the
last day of the month closest to the termination date (lump sum payment);

• A severance amount equal to 2.99 times (for Mr. Weeks) and
two times (for Messrs. McRae, Musser, Schlesinger and Steverson) the NEO's then-current base salary plus an annual bonus amount
(lump sum payment);

• Continued participation in the Company's benefit plans
for 3 years;

• Upon request, purchase of the NEO's principal residence
in the Corning, NY area; and

• Outplacement benefits (equal to 20% of base salary) (excluding
Mr. Weeks).

If the employment of an NEO (other than Mr. Weeks) is terminated for cause or he resigns for other than good reason, or the NEO's employment terminates by reason of death or disability, the NEO is entitled to accrued but unpaid base salary, reimbursable expenses, vacation pay and the executive's target percentage for the annual bonus plans multiplied by the executive's salary, pro-rated to the last day of the month closest to the termination date (lump sum payment). In addition, Messrs. Weeks and McRae are generally entitled to receive a gross-up payment in an amount sufficient to make him whole for any federal excise tax on excess parachute payments imposed under Section 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, if the federal excise tax can be avoided by reducing the related payments by a present value of $45,000 or less, then the payment will be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid the excise tax and no gross-up payment will be made to the NEO.

The following table reflects the amounts that would be payable under the various arrangements assuming that a change in control occurred on December 31, 2022.

(1) Long-term incentives includes a combination of equity (stock options, performance stock units and restricted stock units) and cash
(cash performance units), which vest upon a change of control.

In addition to the above, the NEOs may also request that Corning purchase their principal residence. Corning is unable to accurately and precisely estimate the value as it requires an independent appraisal of the executive's residence and, for all, a calculation of the executive's purchase price of such residence and any documented improvements made to the property. This is data that Corning does not maintain in its normal course of business. See footnote (3) to the "Termination Scenarios" on page 90.

**Pay Ratio Disclosure**

For 2022, the annual total compensation of the median employee, excluding our CEO, was $36,485 and the annual total compensation of our CEO was $16,169,469. Accordingly, the ratio of the CEO's annual total compensation to the annual total compensation of the median employee was 443:1.

This reflects analysis of our global workforce of employees as of October 1, 2022, which excludes 708 employees in Brazil, 396 employees in India, 147 employees in South Africa, and 282 employees in Turkey, which are de minimis relative to the size of our global workforce. We used estimated total cash compensation to determine the median employee. Our estimate of total cash compensation for our full 2022 fiscal year included (i) annual base salary plus annual incentives calculated at target for salaried employees and (ii) hourly salary rate times annual standard hours plus additional adjustments for shift differentials, estimated overtime rates, production bonuses, holiday bonuses, fixed bonuses and other cash allowances paid to hourly employees.

Our estimates were based on an analysis of the pay components and payrolls in each of the 40 countries in which we operate, excluding Brazil, India, South Africa and Turkey. Total cash compensation rates of employees paid in foreign currencies were converted into U.S. dollars using our standard monthly foreign exchange conversion rates in effect on October 1, 2022 for the determination of the median and December 31, 2022 for the year-end actual total compensation. Once the median employee was identified, actual total compensation was determined in accordance with Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K.

The SEC's rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee's annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

**Pay Versus Performance Table and Disclosures**

As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid (as defined by SEC rules) and certain financial performance of the Company. The Compensation and Talent Management Committee (the Committee) did not consider the pay versus performance disclosure when making its incentive compensation decisions. For further information about how we align executive compensation with the Company's performance, see "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" starting on page 58. The following table sets forth the required compensation information for our NEOs, calculated in accordance with SEC regulations, for fiscal years 2022, 2021 and 2020.

The Audit Committee evaluates our independent registered public accounting firm each year and has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2023. PwC has served in this role since 1944. The Audit Committee concluded that many factors contribute to the continued support of PwC's independence, such as the oversight of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) through the establishment of audit, quality, ethics, and independence standards in addition to conducting audit inspections; the mandating of reports on internal control over financial reporting; PCAOB requirements for audit partner rotation; and limitations imposed by regulation and by the Audit Committee on non-audit services provided by PwC. The Audit Committee preapproves all audit and permitted non-audit services that PwC performs for the Company, and it approves the fees associated with the engagement of PwC. All services provided to Corning by PwC in 2021 and 2022 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with the policy.

The Audit Committee and the PCAOB require key PwC partners assigned to our audit to be rotated at least every five years. The Audit Committee and its Chair oversee the selection process for each new lead engagement partner. Throughout this process, the Audit Committee and management provide input to PwC about the Company's priorities, discuss candidate qualifications and interview potential candidates put forth by PwC.

In determining whether to reappoint PwC, the Audit Committee took into consideration a number of factors, including:

• PwC's global capabilities to handle the breadth and complexity of Corning's global operations;

• PwC's technical expertise and knowledge of Corning's industry and global operations;

• The quality and candor of PwC's communications with the Audit Committee and management, which include routine executive sessions with the Audit Committee held without management present and a management survey of PwC's performance;

• PwC's independence;

• The appropriateness of PwC's fees; and

• PwC's tenure as our independent registered public accounting firm, including the benefits of that tenure (including higher audit quality due to PwC's deep understanding of Corning's business and accounting policies and practices), the avoidance of significant costs and disruptions that would be associated with retaining a new independent auditor, and the controls and processes in place such as rotation of key partners and an annual assessment of PwC's qualifications, service quality, sufficiency of resources, quality of communications, working relationship with our management, objectivity and professional skepticism that help ensure PwC's continued independence.

Proposal 3 Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Based on its evaluation, the Audit Committee believes that the continued retention of PwC is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Board concurs and requests that the shareholders ratify the appointment of PwC as Corning's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. If the selection of PwC is not ratified by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote on the matter, the Audit Committee will review its future selection of an independent registered public accounting firm in light of that vote result. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may appoint a different registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such change would be appropriate.

Corning expects representatives of PwC to be present at the Annual Meeting and available to respond to questions that may be raised there. These representatives may comment on the financial statements if they so desire.

Proposal 3 Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

**Policy Regarding Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permitted Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

The Audit Committee has adopted a policy for pre-approval of audit and permitted non-audit services by Corning's independent registered public accounting firm. The full Audit Committee approves annually projected services and fee estimates for these services and other major types of services. The Audit Committee chair has been designated by the Audit Committee to approve any services arising during the year that were not pre-approved by the Audit Committee and services that were pre-approved, but for which the associated fees will materially exceed the budget established for the type of service at issue. Services approved by the chair are communicated to the full Audit Committee at its next regular meeting. For each proposed service, the independent registered public accounting firm is required to provide supporting documentation detailing said service and confirm that the provision of such services does not impair its independence. The Audit Committee regularly reviews reports detailing services provided to Corning by its independent registered public accounting firm.

**Report of the Audit Committee**

The purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in its general oversight of Corning's financial reporting, internal controls and audit functions. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. The directors who serve on the Audit Committee have no financial or personal ties to Corning (other than director compensation and equity ownership as described in this proxy statement) and are all "financially literate" and "independent" for purposes of the New York Stock Exchange listing standards. The Board of Directors has determined that none of the Audit Committee members has a relationship with Corning that may interfere with the members' independence from Corning and its management.

The Audit Committee met with management periodically during the year to consider the adequacy of Corning's internal controls and the objectivity of its financial reporting. The Audit Committee discussed these matters with Corning's independent registered public accounting firm and with the appropriate financial personnel and internal auditors. The Audit Committee also discussed with Corning's senior management and independent registered public accounting firm the process used for certifications by Corning's chief executive officer and chief financial officer that are required for certain of Corning's filings with the SEC. The Audit Committee met privately with both the independent registered public accounting firm and the internal auditors, both of whom have unrestricted access to the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the independent registered public accounting firm. Management is responsible for: the preparation, presentation and integrity of Corning's financial statements; accounting and financial reporting principles; establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)); establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)); evaluating the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures; evaluating the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and evaluating any change that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements and expressing an opinion on the conformity of those financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, as well as expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

During the course of 2022, management updated the documentation, and performed testing and evaluation of Corning's system of internal control over financial reporting in response to the requirements set forth in Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related regulations. The Audit Committee was kept apprised of the progress of the evaluation, and it provided oversight and advice to management during the process. In connection with this oversight, the Audit Committee received periodic updates provided by management, internal audit and the independent registered public accounting firm at each regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting. At the conclusion of the process, management provided the Audit Committee with, and the Audit Committee reviewed a report on, the effectiveness of Corning's internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee also reviewed: the report of management contained in Corning's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC; as well as PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm included

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

Proposal 3 Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

in Corning's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 related to its audits of the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule, and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC. In addition, the Audit Committee has 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 and discussed with them their independence from Corning and its management. The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of permitted non-audit services by the independent registered public accounting firm to Corning is compatible with the auditor's independence.

Based on these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors approved that the audited financial statements be included in Corning's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

CORNING 2023 PROXY STATEMENT 101

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

![](glw4120101_def14ax101x1.jpg)

As described in Proposal 2 above, Corning's shareholders are being provided the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on Corning's executive compensation program. The advisory vote on executive compensation described in Proposal 2 above is referred to as a "say-on-pay vote." Section 14A(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires public companies to solicit the preference of their shareholders as to whether future say-on-pay votes should be held ever one, two, or three years no later than the annual meeting of shareholders held in the sixth calendar year after the last such vote.

Our last advisory vote on the frequency of our say-on-pay vote was held at our 2017 Annual Meeting, where shareholders voted to hold say-on-pay votes every year. Accordingly, this Proposal 4 affords shareholders the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on how often Corning should include a say-on-pay vote in its proxy materials for future annual shareholder meetings (or special shareholder meeting for which Corning must include executive compensation information in the proxy statement for that meeting).

Under this Proposal 4, shareholders may vote to have the say-on-pay vote every year, every two years or every three years. Our Board believes that say-on-pay votes should be conducted every year so that shareholders may annually express their views on our executive compensation program. Our shareholders have also overwhelmingly supported annual say-on-pay voting. The Compensation and Talent Management Committee, which administers Corning's executive compensation program, values the opinions expressed by shareholders in these votes and will continue to consider the outcome of these votes in making its decisions on executive compensation.

|:---|:---|:---|

Please use only <u>one</u> of the three ways to vote.

104 CORNING 2023 PROXY STATEMENT

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

Frequently Asked Questions About the Meeting and Voting

How Do I Vote My Shares During the Annual Meeting?

Even if you plan to attend and participate in our virtual Annual Meeting, we encourage you to vote by telephone or over the Internet, or by returning a proxy card following your request for printed materials. This will ensure that your vote will be counted if you are unable to, or later decide not to, participate in the virtual Annual Meeting. Whether you are a shareholder of record or hold your shares in "street name," you may vote online at the Annual Meeting. You will need to enter your control number (included in your notice, your proxy card or the voting instructions that accompanied your proxy materials) to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting.

May I Change My Mind After I Vote?

Yes. You may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before the polls close at the meeting. You may change your vote by:

• voting again by Internet or telephone prior to the meeting;

• voting again at the meeting; or

• signing another proxy card with a later date and returning it to Corning's Corporate Secretary at One Riverfront Plaza, Corning, NY 14831, prior to the meeting.

You also may revoke your proxy prior to the meeting without submitting any new vote by sending a written notice that you are withdrawing your vote to our Corporate Secretary at the address listed above.

What Shares Are Included on My Proxy Card?

Your proxy card includes shares held in your own name and shares held in any Corning plan. You may vote these shares by Internet, telephone or mail, as described on your proxy card or the notice you previously received. Your proxy card does not include any shares held in a brokerage account in the name of your bank or broker (such shares are said to be held in "street name").

How Do I Vote if I Participate in the Corning Investment Plan?

If you hold shares in the Corning Investment Plan, which includes shares held in the Corning Stock Fund in the Company's 401(k) plan, these shares have been added to your other holdings on your proxy card. Your completed proxy card serves as voting instructions to the trustee of the plan. You may direct the trustee to vote your plan shares by submitting your proxy vote for those shares, along with the rest of your shares, by Internet, telephone or mail, all as described on your proxy card or the notice you previously received. If you do not instruct the trustee to vote, your plan shares will be voted by the trustee in the same proportion that it votes shares in other plan accounts for which it did receive timely voting instructions.

How Do I Vote if My Broker Holds My Shares in "Street Name"?

If your shares are held in a brokerage account in the name of your bank or broker (this is called "street name"), those shares are not included in the total number of shares listed as owned by you on the enclosed proxy card. Instead, your bank or broker will send you directions on how to vote those shares.

Will My Shares Held in Street Name Be Voted if I Do Not Provide My Proxy?

Under the New York Stock Exchange rules, if you own shares in "street name" through a broker and do not vote, your broker may not vote your shares on proposals determined to be "non-routine." In such cases, the absence of voting instructions results in a "broker non-vote." Broker non-voted shares count toward achieving a quorum requirement for the Annual Meeting, but they do not affect the determination of whether the non-routine matter is approved or rejected.

CORNING 2023 PROXY STATEMENT 105

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

Frequently Asked Questions About the Meeting and Voting

The proposal to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm is the only matter in this proxy statement considered to be a routine matter for which brokers will be permitted to vote on behalf of their clients, if no voting instructions are furnished. Since Proposals 1, 2 and 4 are non-routine matters, broker non-voted shares will not count as votes cast to affect the determination of whether those proposals are approved or rejected. Therefore, it is important that you provide voting instructions to your broker.

What if I Return My Proxy Card or Vote by Internet or Telephone but Do Not Specify How I Want to Vote?

If you sign and return your proxy card or complete the Internet or telephone voting procedures, but do not specify how you want to vote your shares, we will vote them as follows:

• **FOR** each of the 15 director nominees (Proposal 1);

• **FOR** the advisory approval of our executive compensation, as such information is disclosed in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis, the compensation tables and the accompanying disclosure (Say on Pay) (Proposal 2);

• **FOR** ratification of the Audit Committee's appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 (Proposal 3); and

• To hold the Say on Pay vote **EVERY YEAR** (Proposal 4).

If you participate in the Corning Investment Plan and do not submit timely voting instructions, the trustee of the plan will vote the shares in your plan account in the same proportion that it votes shares in other plan accounts for which it did receive timely voting instructions, as explained above under the question "How Do I Vote If I Participate In The Corning Investment Plan?"

What Does it Mean if I Receive More Than One Proxy Card?

If you received more than one proxy card, you have multiple accounts with your brokers or our transfer agent. Please vote all of these shares. We recommend that you contact your broker or our transfer agent to consolidate as many accounts as possible under the same name and address. If you are the registered holder, you may contact our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., at 1-(800)-255-0461.

May Shareholders Ask Questions at the Virtual Annual Meeting?

Yes. We have designed the format of the virtual Annual Meeting to ensure that our shareholders are afforded the same rights and opportunities to participate as they would have at an in-person meeting. After the business portion of the Annual Meeting concludes and the meeting is adjourned, we will hold a Q&A session during which we intend to answer questions submitted during the meeting that are pertinent to the Company, as time permits, and in accordance with our Rules for Conduct of the Shareholder Meeting. During the Annual Meeting, you can view our Rules for Conduct of the Shareholder Meeting and submit any questions at virtualshareholdermeeting.com/GLW2023. Answers to any questions not addressed during the meeting will be posted on the investor page of our website following the meeting. Questions and answers will be grouped by topic, and substantially similar questions will be answered only once.

How Many Shares Must be Present to Hold the Meeting?

In order for us to conduct our meeting, a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock as of February 28, 2023, the record date for the meeting, must be present in person (by logging in to our virtual annual meeting with your control number) or by proxy at the meeting. This is called a quorum. Your shares are counted as present at the meeting if you attend the virtual meeting by logging in with your control number or if you properly return a proxy by Internet, telephone or mail.

We also will reimburse brokers for their costs in sending proxies and proxy materials to our shareholders so that you may vote your shares. Our directors, officers and regular employees may supplement Innisfree's proxy solicitation efforts by contacting you by telephone or electronic communication or in person. We will not pay directors, officers or other regular employees any additional compensation for their proxy solicitation efforts.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Meeting and Voting

Shareholder Proposals and Director Nominations for the 2024 Annual Meeting

Under Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), eligible shareholders may submit proposals for inclusion in the proxy statement for our 2024 Annual Meeting. Shareholder proposals must comply with the requirements established by the SEC and must be submitted in writing and received by our Corporate Secretary on or before the close of business on November 21, 2023 (for them to be considered for inclusion in the 2024 proxy statement).

Our by-laws permit a group of shareholders (up to 20) who have owned at least 3% of Corning's common stock for at least 3 years to submit director nominees for the greater of two directors or the largest whole number that does not exceed 20% of our Board. These director nominees will be included in our proxy statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting if the shareholder(s) and the nominee(s) satisfy the requirements specified in our by-laws. Notices of director nominees submitted under these by-law provisions must be received no earlier than December 29, 2023 and no later than January 29, 2024.

If you would like to present a matter not included in our proxy statement for consideration at our 2024 Annual Meeting, including nominations for director candidates, you must send advance written notice to our Corporate Secretary no earlier than the 120<sup>th</sup> day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting (December 29, 2023) and no later than the close of business on the 90<sup>th</sup> day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting (January 29, 2024). Any matter or nomination must comply with our by-laws. Eligible shareholders who intend to solicit proxies for the 2024 Annual Meeting in support of director nominees other than the Company's nominees under Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act must comply with the requirements of the Company's by-laws and provide the notice required by, and in compliance with, Rule 14a-19 no later than February 27, 2024.

All proposals in this section should be addressed to Corporate Secretary, **Corning Incorporated, One Riverfront Plaza, Corning, New York 14831** and must be received by the applicable dates specified above.

Why Haven't I Received a Printed Copy of the Proxy Statement or Annual Report?

We are furnishing proxy materials to you online, as permitted by SEC rules, to expedite your receipt of materials while lowering costs and reducing the environmental impact of printing and mailing full sets of annual meeting materials. If you received by mail a notice of the electronic availability of these materials, you will not receive a printed copy unless you specifically request it. Such notice contains instructions on how to request a paper copy of the materials.

Is the Proxy Statement Available on the Internet?

Yes. Most shareholders will receive the proxy statement and other annual meeting materials online. If you received a paper copy, you can also view these documents online by accessing our website at corning.com/2023-proxy. You can elect to receive future proxy statements and annual reports by Internet instead of receiving paper copies by mail by following the instructions for making such election when you electronically vote your shares.

Are You "Householding" for Shareholders Sharing the

Same Address?

Yes. The SEC's rules regarding the delivery to shareholders of proxy statements, annual reports, prospectuses and information statements permit us to deliver a single copy of these documents to an address shared by two or more of our shareholders. This method of delivery is referred to as "householding," and can significantly reduce our printing and mailing costs. It also reduces the volume of mail you receive. This year, we are delivering only one proxy statement and 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K to multiple registered shareholders sharing an address, unless we receive instructions to the contrary from one or more of the shareholders. We will still be required, however, to send you and each other shareholder

If you would like to receive more than one copy of this proxy statement and annual report, we will promptly send you additional copies upon written or oral request directed to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge"), either by calling toll free at (866) 540-7095 or by writing to Broadridge, Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717. The same phone number and mailing address may be used to notify us that you wish to request delivery of a single copy of a proxy statement or Annual Report on Form 10-K if you are receiving multiple copies.

Code of Ethics

Our Board of Directors adopted (i) the Code of Ethics for the Chief Executive Officer and Financial Executives (Code of Ethics) and (ii) the Code of Conduct for Directors and Executive Officers, which supplement our Code of Conduct that governs all employees and directors.

(a) Pursuant to the Share Repurchase Agreement, the Preferred Stock was converted into 115 million Common Shares. Corning immediately
repurchased 35 million of the converted Common Shares and excluded them from the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the calculation
of the Company's basic and diluted earnings per share. The redemption of these Common Shares resulted in an $803 million reduction
of retained earnings which reduced the net income available to common shareholders.

**Items Excluded from GAAP Measures**

Items which we exclude from GAAP measures to arrive at core performance measures are as follows:

(1) <u>Constant-currency adjustment</u>: As a significant portion of revenues and expenses are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, management believes it is important to understand the impact on sales and net income of translating these currencies into U.S. dollars. The Company utilizes constant-currency reporting for Display Technologies, Specialty Materials, Environmental Technologies and Life Sciences segments for the Japanese yen, Korean won, Chinese yuan, New Taiwan dollar and Euro, as applicable to the segment.

---

(2) <u>Translation of Japanese yen-denominated debt</u>: Amount reflects the gain or loss on the translation of our yen-denominated debt to U.S. dollars.

(3) <u>Translated earnings contract</u>: Amount reflects the impact of the realized and unrealized gains and losses from the Japanese yen, South Korean won, Chinese yuan, euro and new Taiwan dollar-denominated foreign currency hedges related to translated earnings, as well as the unrealized gains and losses of our British pound-denominated foreign currency hedges related to translated earnings.

(4) <u>Acquisition-related costs</u>: Amount reflects intangible amortization, inventory valuation adjustments and external acquisition-related deal costs, as well as other transaction related costs.

(5) <u>Discrete tax items and other tax-related adjustments</u>: Amount reflects certain discrete period tax items such as changes in tax law, the impact of tax audits, changes in tax reserves and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances, as well as other tax-related adjustments.

(6) <u>Restructuring, impairment and other charges and credits</u>: Amount reflects certain restructuring, impairment losses and other charges and credits, as well as other expenses, primarily accelerated depreciation and asset write-offs, which are not related to ongoing operations. The activity during 2022 primarily relates to capacity optimization for Display Technologies, Specialty Materials and an emerging growth business and severance charges across all segments. The activity in 2021 primarily relates to asset write-offs and charges for facility repairs resulting from the impact of power outages; the Company is pursuing recoveries under its applicable property insurance policies.

(7) <u>Litigation, regulatory and other legal matters</u>: Amount reflects developments in commercial litigation, intellectual property disputes, adjustments to our estimated liability for environmental-related items and other legal matters.

(8) <u>Pension mark-to-market adjustment</u>: Amount primarily reflects defined benefit pension mark-to-market gains and losses, which arise from changes in actuarial assumptions and the difference between actual and expected returns on plan assets and discount rates.

(9) <u>Gain (loss) on investments</u>: Amount reflects the gain or loss recognized on investment due to mark-to-mark adjustments for the change in fair value or the disposition of the investment.

(10) <u>Gain on sale of business</u>: Amount reflects the gain recognized for the sale of a business.

(11) <u>Contingent consideration</u>: Amount reflects the fair value mark-to-market cost adjustment of contingent consideration resulting from the HSG transaction on September 9, 2020.

(12) <u>Preferred stock conversion</u>: Amount reflects the put option from the Share Repurchase Agreement with Samsung Display Co., Ltd.

(13) <u>Bond redemption loss</u>: Amount reflects premiums on redemption of debentures.

(14) <u>Equity in losses of affiliated companies</u>: These adjustments relate to costs not related to continuing operations of our affiliated companies, such as restructuring, impairment losses, inventory adjustments, and other charges and credits and settlements under "take-or-pay" contracts. The year ended December 31, 2020 includes the Company's share of a loss related to the sale of a business.

(15) <u>Transaction-related gain, net</u>: Amount represents the gain recorded on a previously held equity investment in HSG.

(16) <u>Cumulative adjustment related to customer contract</u>: The negative impact of a cumulative adjustment recorded during the first quarter of 2020 to reduce revenue by $105 million. The adjustment was associated with a previously recorded commercial benefit asset, reflected as a prepayment, to a customer with a long-term supply agreement that substantially exited its production of LCD panels.
