FAQs

Dividends are payments made by Owens Corning to you as a stockholder. A dividend is paid on each share, so the amount you receive depends on the number of shares you own and dividend amount declared. To receive the dividend, your name must be on the stock register on the record date.

See further details below under "What is the "Ex-Dividend" date?"

The record date determines which stockholders will be entitled to the declared dividend. Persons registered as stockholders on the record date will be paid the declared dividend even if they have already sold all or some of their Owens Corning shares.

See further details below under "What is the "Ex-Dividend" date?"

Before announcing each dividend a date is set upon which Owens Corning shares will be sold/purchased without entitlement to the dividend. This date is referred to as the ex-dividend date. The ex-dividend date is normally set for two business days before the record date. If you purchase a share before the ex-dividend date you are entitled to receive the declared dividend. If you purchase a share on its ex-dividend date or after, you will not receive the next dividend payment. The seller gets the dividend. If you sell a share on or after the ex-dividend date, the seller gets the dividend. If you sell a share before the ex-dividend date, the buyer gets the dividend.

The payment of dividends is at the Board’s discretion and dependent on the Corporation’s performance, but the present intention is that dividends will be paid quarterly.

Please visit our Dividend section.

Dividends will be announced in USD.

Stockholders are able to choose how they receive their dividends: directly into their bank account or by check. The quickest and most efficient way to receive your dividends is to have them paid directly into your bank account.

If you are a registered holder, your dividend checks will have a Direct Deposit of Dividends stub attached. This stub includes instructions on how to request payment of dividends directly to your bank account. Use of this form is the most effective way to request direct deposit.

On the date that the dividend is to be paid by Owens Corning, Owens Corning will transfer the aggregate amount of the dividend payment to its transfer agent, EQ Shareowner Services.

Registered holders are paid by check or direct deposit. Dividend checks for registered holders are mailed on the payable date. Direct deposit payments are sent to your chosen bank on the payable date and then your bank credits your account. This process may take 2-3 days.

Beneficial holder dividend funds are wired to the Depository Trust Corporation (DTC) on the payable date. DTC then allocates and deposits the aggregate dividend payment among the various brokerage firms for payment to your individual account. This process may also take 2 or 3 days.

How a dividend is taxed will depend on the stockholder’s territory of residence and specific circumstances.

This can be a complex area and we advise stockholders to consult their tax advisors.

Escheatment is the process by which abandoned or unclaimed property is transferred to a state, making the state the legal owner of the property. A stock account is deemed abandoned by inactivity due to an incorrect mailing address, un-cashed dividend checks, or no direct contact by the stockholder for a specific period of time. Each state has its own escheatment laws, regarding inactivity or dormancy periods.

To prevent your stock account from being escheated please keep your address current, cash or deposit all dividend checks, vote at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in April of each year, and respond to due diligence mailings from Owens Corning’s transfer agent, EQ Shareowner Services.

Go to www.unclaimed.org to start your search. Foreign stockholders should search in the State of Delaware. To make a claim, follow the instructions provided by each state.
