Item 5.02.    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
 
On December 2, 2009, in connection with the establishment of the date of Owens Corning's 2010 annual meeting of stockholders as described in Item 8.01 below, Daniel K.K. Tseung, a director of the Company, indicated that he had decided not to stand for re-election to the Company's Board of Directors when his current term expires at the 2010 annual meeting. Mr. Tseung noted that his decision was the result of conflicting time commitments and the significant reduction during 2009 in the Company stock holdings of the bond-holder group that had originally designated him to the Board. At the Company's request, Mr. Tseung has confirmed that he will remain available to serve as an advisor to the Company, specifically with respect to issues relevant to the Company in Asia.

The Board of Directors has determined to reduce the size of the Board effective upon the expiration of Mr. Tseung's term.

 
 
Item 8.01.    Other Events
 
Announcement of Date of 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

Notice is hereby given that the annual meeting of stockholders of Owens Corning for the year 2010 will be held on Thursday, April 22, 2010.

In recent years, Owens Corning's annual meeting of stockholders has been held in December as the result of timing restrictions contained in the Company's Charter documents. Such restrictions have now lapsed, and the Company has decided to move its annual meeting to April. The new timing is consistent with the traditional annual meeting season for U.S. corporations that report on a calendar-year basis and will allow the Company to improve coordination of and reduce redundancy in its required filings.

The deadline for submission of stockholder proposals for possible inclusion in the Company's proxy statement and form of proxy for the 2010 annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") will be the close of business on January 22, 2010, which is also the deadline under the Company's bylaws for submission of notice by stockholders of nominations for director or other business to be properly brought before the 2010 annual meeting. This deadline also applies in determining whether notice is timely for purposes of SEC rules relating to the exercise of discretionary voting authority by the persons named as proxies in the proxy materials relating to such meeting.
