PROPOSAL 1. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Owens-Corning's Board of Directors currently is composed of ten directors,
divided into three classes. Directors' terms of office are for three years and
expire on a staggered basis at the annual meeting of stockholders.
The directors whose terms expire at the Annual Meeting are: William
Boeschenstein, Landon Hilliard and Glen Hiner. Mr. Boeschenstein, a director
since 1967, will retire from the Board at the Annual Meeting.
1
The Board of Directors has nominated Mr. Hilliard and Mr. Hiner for
reelection at the Annual Meeting at the recommendation of the Board's Corporate
Governance Committee, which consists solely of outside directors, and has
nominated William W. Colville, Owens-Corning's retired Senior Vice President,
Secretary and General Counsel, to fill the vacancy created by Mr.
Boeschenstein's retirement from the Board. In addition, Sir Trevor Holdsworth,
who is currently serving as a director of Owens-Corning (term expiring 1996),
has been nominated for election at the Annual Meeting. In the event he is not
elected, he will continue to serve as a director until the expiration of his
current term, and only three directors will be elected at the Annual Meeting.
Biographies of each nominee for director and each director whose term
continues past the Annual Meeting follow this section.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR PROPOSAL 1.
Unless a stockholder specifies otherwise, the proxies received in response to
this solicitation will be voted in favor of the election of the four nominees
for director. Should any of these nominees become unable to accept nomination
or election, the proxies will be voted for the other nominees and any
substitute nominees, unless the stockholder specifically votes otherwise. The
Board of Directors now knows of no reason why any nominee will be unable to
serve as a director.
Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual
Meeting. Each person elected at the Annual Meeting will serve until the 1998
annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected
and qualified.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Securities and
Exchange Commission regulations require Owens-Corning's directors, certain
officers and greater than ten percent stockholders to file reports of ownership
on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Forms 4 or 5 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Owens-Corning undertakes to file such forms on behalf of
the reporting directors and officers pursuant to a power of attorney given to
certain attorneys-in-fact. Such reporting officers, directors and ten percent
stockholders are also required by Securities and Exchange Commission rules to
furnish Owens-Corning with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.
6
Based solely on its review of copies of such reports received or written
representations from such executive officers, directors and ten percent
stockholders, Owens-Corning believes that all Section 16(a) filing requirements
applicable to its directors, executive officers and ten percent stockholders
were complied with during fiscal year 1994.

DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION
RETAINER AND MEETING FEES--In 1994, Owens-Corning paid each director who was
not an Owens-Corning officer an annual retainer of $23,000. Non-employee
Committee Chairmen receive an additional retainer of $3,500 each year. In
addition, Owens-Corning paid non-employee directors a fee of $1,000 for (a)
attendance at one or more meetings of the Board of Directors on the same day,
(b) attendance at one or more meetings of each Committee of the Board of
Directors on the same day, and (c) for each day's attendance at other functions
in which directors were requested to participate.
A director may elect to defer all or a portion of his or her annual retainer
and fees under the Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan, in which case his or
her account is credited with the number of shares of common stock that such
compensation could have purchased on the date of payment. Payments are made in
cash based on the value of the account, which is determined by the then fair
market value of common stock, after the individual has ceased to be a director.
STOCK PLAN FOR DIRECTORS--Owens-Corning maintains a stockholder approved
Stock Plan for Directors, applicable to each director who is not an Owens-
Corning employee. The plan provides for two types of grants to each eligible
director: (1) a one-time nonrecurring grant of non-transferable options to each
new outside director to acquire 10,000 shares of common stock at a per share
exercise price of 100 percent of the value of a share of common stock on the
date of the grant, and (2) an annual grant of 500 shares of common stock on the
fourth Friday in April.
Initial option grants become exercisable in equal installments over five
years from date of grant, subject to acceleration in certain events, and
generally expire ten years from date of grant. No grant may be made under the
plan on or after August 20, 1997, and a director may not receive an annual
grant of common stock in the same calendar year he or she receives an initial
option grant. A director entitled to receive an annual grant may elect to defer
receipt of the common stock until he or she leaves the Board of Directors.
Sir Trevor Holdsworth received an initial option grant for 10,000 shares of
stock with an exercise price of $34.625 per share in 1994. Messrs. Blake,
Boeschenstein, Hilliard, Huntsman, Lewis, McGovern, Moseley and Dr. Reynolds
each received an annual 500 share grant in 1994 valued at $16,813 on the date
of grant.
INDEMNITY AGREEMENTS--Owens-Corning has entered into an indemnity agreement
with each member of the Board of Directors which provides that if the director
becomes involved in a claim (as defined in the agreement) by reason of an
indemnifiable event (as defined in the agreement), Owens-Corning will indemnify
the director to the fullest extent authorized by Owens-Corning's by-laws,
notwithstanding any subsequent amendment, repeal or modification of the by-
laws, against any and all expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts
paid in settlement of the claim.
The indemnity agreement also provides that, in the event of a potential
change of control (as defined in the agreement), the director is entitled to
require the creation of a trust for his or her benefit, the assets of which
would be subject to the claims of Owens-Corning's general creditors, and the
funding of such trust from time to time in amounts sufficient to satisfy Owens-
Corning's indemnification obligations reasonably anticipated at the time of the
funding request.
8
CHARITABLE AWARD PROGRAM--To recognize the interest of Owens-Corning and its
directors in supporting worthy educational institutions and other charitable
organizations, Owens-Corning permits each director to nominate up to two
organizations to share a contribution of $1 Million from the Owens-Corning
Foundation. These contributions will be made by the Foundation in ten annual
installments after the death of a director. Owens-Corning expects to ultimately
fund its contributions to the Foundation and insurance premiums from the
proceeds of life insurance policies which it maintains on directors. Directors
will receive no financial benefit from this program, since the charitable
deduction and insurance proceeds accrue solely to Owens-Corning.
TRANSACTIONS WITH OWENS-CORNING
Mr. Colville, a nominee for election as a director, who retired as an
employee of Owens-Corning on December 31, 1994 has been retained as a
consultant. Mr. Colville will receive a monthly consulting fee of $14,583
($27,917 for each of the first three months). His consulting agreement has a
one year term but is annually renewable as agreed by the parties for up to five
years. Under this agreement, Owens-Corning also provides Mr. Colville with
office space and related services plus reimbursement of expenses incurred in
the performance of services for Owens-Corning. When Mr. Colville ceases to be a
consultant, his retirement benefit (described below under "Retirement
Benefits") will be recomputed to include the five year maximum period he could
be a consultant as if it were employment by Owens-Corning. This will increase
his monthly supplemental pension by approximately $1,400 per month.
Director Jon M. Huntsman, Jr. is Vice Chairman of The Huntsman Group of
Companies. Present and former units of Owens-Corning purchased approximately
$7.2 million of materials from members of this group in 1994.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF OWENS-CORNING
The Compensation Committee (referred to as the "Committee") reviews Owens-
Corning's compensation programs to promote the attraction, retention and
motivation of a highly qualified leadership team that will accomplish Owens-
Corning's strategic business goals. The members of the Committee are
independent, non-employee directors.
PHILOSOPHY--The Committee's philosophy is to provide a total pay opportunity
for all jobs that is competitive in the external market and rewards individual
contribution. Key elements of this pay opportunity are base salary, annual
incentive compensation and stock awards described below. In determining
competitive levels, the Committee analyzes information from independent survey
data on comparator companies. Since Owens-Corning's market for executive talent
extends beyond its own industry, this survey data includes companies outside
the Dow Jones Building Materials Index referred to in the Performance Graph on
page 16.
In response to the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, the Committee
has determined that it will maintain flexibility with respect to non-deductible
payments to named executive officers. Owens-Corning believes that all of the
compensation paid for 1994 is deductible by Owens-Corning for federal income
tax purposes.
BASE SALARY--Owens-Corning implemented a broadbanding salary compensation
system for all officers on January 1, 1994. In broadbanding, base salary ranges
are set for each band for all positions in the band. For each officer position,
base salary market values are established at the median of comparator
companies' base pay for corresponding jobs.
9
Individual salary increases are based on the officer's contribution to the
corporation, performance against pre-established goals, and the relationship of
current pay to the market value of the job. The increases are administered
within an overall company merit budget. The primary factor in determining a
salary increase is the individual's performance against goals.
Named Officers receiving increases, including Mr. Hiner, were evaluated in
respect to competitive practices and achievement of goals based on 1993 results
in earnings per share and net asset turnover, as well as Owens-Corning's core
values of customer satisfaction, individual dignity and shareholder value and,
in the case of a retiring officer, upon his career contributions to Owens-
Corning. Mr. Hiner received a base salary of $840,000 for 1994. Mr. Hiner's
salary is well within the salary range for his salary band. Except for one, the
other Named Officers' base salaries were below the market value for their jobs,
but all were well within the salary ranges.
ANNUAL INCENTIVE COMPENSATION--Incentive payment "targets" for the Named
Officers are set at the 75th percentile of the comparator companies' actual
incentive payments. The Corporate Incentive Plan is based upon selected
financial criteria (tied to business objectives) as determined by the
Committee. In 1994, this Plan was based 60% on earnings per share, 30% on net
asset turnover and 10% on sales growth. Goals were set for each criteria which
identified the minimum level of business performance at which any funding
occurs. Funding at the minimum threshold is 25% of maximum and in an
outstanding year can exceed 100%, but only 100% can be paid out. Any amount
over 100% would apply to a reserve fund and be available for payment in future
years. The goals are approved by the Committee after thorough review of key
business and economic assumptions for the year. Actual business results against
the criteria determine amounts available for payments.
Each Named Officer's participation in the plan is based upon job level and is
a percentage of base pay. The incentive opportunity for Mr. Hiner is 130% of
base pay and the other Named Officers range from 100% to 110% of base pay.
After determining the funding of the plan and determining each participant's
calculated share based on incentive opportunity, the Committee can award a
greater or lesser amount based upon their assessment of the individual's
performance. These adjustments are based upon how the individual supported the
financial results obtained as well as supporting Owens-Corning's core values of
customer satisfaction, individual dignity and shareholder value, with financial
results being of predominate importance. Total payments to all participants
cannot exceed 100% of the funds available under the plan.
Mr. Hiner received an annual incentive compensation award of $986,076 for
1994, which is higher than the competitive target but less than his total
incentive opportunity. Mr. Hiner's annual incentive compensation award was made
pursuant to his employment contract with no upward adjustment.
STOCK AWARDS--Long-term incentives are provided under Owens-Corning's Stock
Performance Incentive Plan, which was approved by shareholders in 1992. The
plan allows 2% of Owens-Corning's outstanding shares of common stock on January
1 of each year to be utilized for stock grants to key employees (including the
Named Officers). Owens-Corning's objective is to provide awards that result in
values approximating the median of the total long-term incentives provided by
the comparator companies. At Owens-Corning, long-term incentives are comprised
of stock options and restricted stock.
We believe that stock options encourage officers to relate their long-term
economic interests to other shareholders. The 1994 stock options were granted
at fair market value on date of grant and vest over three years. They also have
an exercise period of ten years from date of grant.
Restricted stock is used to provide continuing incentives to increase value
to our shareholders and as a retention device for certain officers. One Named
Officer did not receive stock option or restricted stock awards in 1994 because
the Committee did not feel that such awards were needed for retention. The 1994
grants vest 50% in five years and 50% in ten years from grant. In deciding who
should receive restricted stock awards, we gave equal consideration to each
Named Officer's relative position and current and expected contribution to
Owens-Corning.
10
Past grants or grants outstanding were not considered when making option and
restricted stock awards. The size of stock awards granted to each of the Named
Officers was based primarily on competitive practice and was generally targeted
to be at the median of long-term incentive values granted by the comparator
companies. Based on the Named Officer's responsibility level, stock awards
consist of a designated number of stock options plus restricted stock that
represents a designated percentage of base salary market value for each
position. Award sizes are held constant from year to year as long as the total
value of an award is within the range of the competitive objective. Mr. Hiner
was awarded options on 50,000 shares of stock (the same as 1993) and 8,000
shares of restricted stock (which is also the same as in 1993).

(1) 50% of the shares received in 1994 and 1993 will be paid after 5 years,
with the remaining 50% paid after 10 years. Awards made in 1992 are paid
in equal portions after 5 and 7 years. Payment is made under an alternate
vesting schedule for employees who retire with the consent of the
Compensation Committee. Vesting also accelerates in the event of death,
disability, normal retirement and in certain other events at the
discretion of the Compensation Committee. The Committee vested Mr.
Colville's restricted stock awards on his retirement on December 31, 1994
and he received shares with a value of $197,663. Mr. Devonshire received a
grant of 6,900 shares of restricted stock upon his employment on July 19,
1993, 2,400 shares of which restricted stock vest 50% after 5 years and
50% after 10 years while the remaining 4,500 shares vested on January 20,
1994, to replace stock awards forfeited as a result of leaving his prior
employer. The number of shares of restricted stock outstanding at year end
and their value based on the year end stock price of $31.875 for each of
the named executives is as follows: Mr. Hiner, 191,667 shares, $6,109,386;
Mr. Colville, -0- shares, $0.00; Mr. Dana, 11,100 shares, $353,813; Mr.
Devonshire, 4,800 shares, $153,000 and Mr. Heddens, 9,900 shares,
$315,563. If dividends were paid by Owens-Corning, they would be paid on
restricted stock.
(2) One-third of each award becomes exercisable in the first through the third
years following the grant. An alternate vesting schedule applies in the
event of early retirement with consent of the Compensation Committee.
Vesting also accelerates in the event of death, disability, normal
retirement and in certain other events at the discretion of the
Compensation Committee. The Committee vested Mr. Colville's awards on his
retirement on December 31, 1994.
(3) Mr. Hiner became Chairman and Chief Executive Officer on January 23, 1992.
12
(4) Prior to January 1, 1994, Mr. Dana was Senior Vice President and
President--Industrial Materials Group.
(5) Mr. Colville retired on December 31, 1994.
(6) Mr. Devonshire was hired as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer on July 17, 1993.
(7) Mr. Devonshire received a sign-on bonus upon his employment of $50,000
(net of taxes) and a contractually agreed bonus for 1993 of $150,000, half
of which replaced incentive compensation lost as a result of his change of
employment.
(8) Mr. Hiner's numbers show contractually required tax payments on income
from his Pension Preservation Trust account. The Pension Preservation
Trust is described on page 15.
(9) Mr. Devonshire received a payment of $38,474 for taxes on his $50,000
sign-on bonus.
(10) Of Mr. Hiner's numbers, $59,496, $67,608 and $84,391 was the present value
(based upon the Applicable Federal Rate from date of payment to earliest
date of repayment to Owens-Corning) of split-dollar life insurance
premiums paid by Owens-Corning which were invested on his behalf in 1992,
1993 and 1994, respectively. Mr. Hiner reimburses Owens-Corning for the
portion of the premium which represents term life cost. The present value
of split-dollar life insurance premiums previously reported was based upon
the increase in policy cash value. Of Mr. Devonshire's numbers $3,246 was
the present value of split-dollar life insurance premiums paid by Owens-
Corning in 1994. Mr. Devonshire also reimburses Owens-Corning for the
portion of the premium representing term life costs.
(11) Messrs. Hiner, Colville, Dana, Devonshire and Heddens had $6,645, $6,750,
$6,750, $6,750 and $6,750, respectively, of contributions made to their

RETIREMENT BENEFITS
Owens-Corning maintains a Salaried Employees' Retirement Plan covering its
salaried employees in the United States, including each of the Named Officers.
This plan is funded totally by Owens-Corning and provides monthly pension
benefits primarily on the basis of age at retirement, years of service to
Owens-Corning, and average earnings from the highest three complete consecutive
calendar years of service. Covered earnings for a calendar year include base
pay, overtime pay, other wage premium pay and annual incentive bonuses payable
during the year. In 1994, the covered earnings of Messrs. Hiner, Colville,
Dana, Devonshire and Heddens were: $1,540,000, $525,000, $532,500, $433,333 and
$431,667. The numbers shown differ from the salary and bonus numbers in the
Summary Compensation Table because the table shows bonus earned in 1994 but
paid in 1995 while covered pension earnings include bonus paid in 1994, but
earned in 1993. The credited years of service for these individuals at year-end
1994 were: 3, 10, 33, 1 and 28.
In addition, Owens-Corning has a non-qualified Executive Supplemental Benefit
Plan to pay eligible employees the difference between the maximum benefits
payable under the Salaried Employees' Retirement Plan and those benefits which
would have been payable except for limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue
Code. Messrs. Colville, Dana, Devonshire and Heddens were eligible to receive
benefits under this plan as of December 31, 1994.
The table below shows estimated annual retirement benefits under the
aggregate of these two plans to those persons with the years of service and
covered compensation indicated, assuming retirement after Social Security
normal retirement age. The amounts of benefits shown assume that a retiree
elects to receive a straight lifetime annuity rather than joint and survivor or
other payments and are not subject to any deduction for Social Security or
other offset amounts.

Upon his employment, Owens-Corning entered into an agreement with Mr.
Colville providing for a supplemental pension in the event of the cessation of
his employment other than by reason of death or for cause at or after age 60 or
in the event of certain involuntary terminations prior to age 60. The amount of
such supplement at age 60 is based on the amount by which 50% of Mr. Colville's
highest rate of base salary exceeds the sum of the pension payable by any prior
employer, the annual pension payable under Owens-Corning's Salaried Employees'
Retirement Plan and 50% of his Social Security benefits. Under this Agreement,
Mr. Colville's supplemental monthly pension upon his retirement on December 31,
1994 was $9,173.
Mr. Hiner's Employment Agreement calls for him to receive a pension which
will, together with amounts payable under his prior employer's pension plan,
Owens-Corning's Salaried Employees Retirement Plan, and Social Security total
60% of his "average annual compensation" (the pension he would have obtained
had he remained with his prior employer). His "average annual compensation" is
one third of his highest 36 months of compensation from Owens-Corning or his
prior employer.
Owens-Corning has agreed with Mr. Devonshire to provide him with a
supplemental pension providing a benefit, under the usual pension plan formula,
determined as if he had earned two years of service for each year employed
after age 53. Mr. Devonshire is now 49.
In 1992, Owens-Corning established a Pension Preservation Trust for amounts
payable under its Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan as well as under the
pension arrangements described above. The Compensation Committee determines
(except with respect to Mr. Hiner, where payments are contractually determined)
the amounts to be paid with respect to the Pension Preservation Trust, which
are a portion of benefits earned under the Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan
and the pension agreements described above. Nothing was contributed in 1994 for
any of the Named Officers. Income from the Trust is distributed annually to
participants, which reduces the pension otherwise payable at retirement.
EMPLOYMENT AND SEVERANCE AGREEMENTS
Mr. Hiner is employed under an agreement which has a renewing term of three
years, ending when he reaches age 65. Under his Employment Agreement, Mr. Hiner
would receive a lump sum termination payment equal to 330% of his base salary
if he were to be terminated by Owens-Corning without "cause", or if he should
terminate his employment for "good reason", as each of the terms is defined in
Mr. Hiner's Employment Agreement. If Mr. Hiner should choose to terminate his
employment without "good reason" during the next year, he would be obligated to
repay Owens-Corning $225,000. Under his agreement, Mr. Hiner received an
initial annual salary of $700,000, with an annual review. Any higher salary
approved may not be decreased. Mr. Hiner is also to receive a maximum bonus of
130% of base pay based upon mutually agreed entry, target and maximum company
performance objectives.
Owens-Corning also has entered into severance arrangements with each of the
other Named Officers. These agreements provide for the payment of an amount
equal to two times base salary plus annual incentive bonus (based on an average
of the three previous years' annual incentive payments or the average of the
three previous years' annual incentive targets, whichever is greater), and a
payment equal to the additional lump sum pension payment that would have been
made had the Named Officer been three years older, with three additional years
of service at the time of employment termination. The base salaries as of
December 31, 1994 are as follows: Mr. Hiner $840,000, Mr. Colville $335,000,
Mr. Dana $305,000, Mr. Devonshire $300,000, and Mr. Heddens $245,000.
Mr. Colville, who retired as an employee of Owens-Corning on December 31,
1994, has been retained as a consultant. His consulting agreement is described
under the caption "Transactions with Owens-Corning" on page 9.
