Re: OPTX acquisition freeedgar.com Dear Stockholder of NetOptix Corporation: The Board of Directors of NetOptix Corporation has unanimously approved a merger in which Corning Incorporated will acquire NetOptix. In the merger, each share of NetOptix common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.90 of a share of Corning common stock, and NetOptix will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Corning. Corning common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "GLW". As of April 10, 2000, Corning's closing stock price was $189.19. The merger cannot be completed unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of NetOptix's common stock approve the merger and adopt the merger agreement. NetOptix has scheduled a special meeting of its stockholders for May 12, 2000 to vote on this matter. If you were a stockholder of record on April 10, 2000, you may vote at this meeting. Your vote is very important.
