of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In this context,
forward-looking statements often address expected future business

On Dec. 11, 2015, The Dow Chemical Company (“Dow”) and E. I. du
Pont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont”) announced entry into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended on March 31, 2017, (the
“Merger Agreement”) under which the companies would combine in an
all-stock merger of equals transaction (the “Merger Transaction”).
Effective Aug. 31, 2017, the Merger Transaction was completed and
each of Dow and DuPont became subsidiaries of DowDuPont Inc.
(“DowDuPont”). For more information, please see each of
DowDuPont’s, Dow’s and DuPont’s latest annual, quarterly and
current reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, as the case may be,
and the joint proxy statement/prospectus included in the
registration statement on Form S-4 filed by DowDuPont with the SEC
on March 1, 2016 (File No. 333-209869), as last amended on June 7,
2016, and declared effective by the SEC on June 9, 2016 (the
“Registration Statement”) in connection with the Merger
Transaction.
Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that
are, to different degrees, uncertain, including the intended
separation of DowDuPont’s agriculture, materials science and
specialty products businesses in one or more tax efficient
transactions on anticipated terms (the “Intended Business
Separations”). Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of
future performance and are based on certain assumptions and
expectations of future events which may not be realized.
Forward-looking statements also involve risks and uncertainties,
many of which are beyond the company’s control. Some of the
important factors that could cause DowDuPont’s, Dow’s or DuPont’s
actual results to differ materially from those projected in any
such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
(i) successful integration of the respective agriculture, materials
science and specialty products businesses of Dow and DuPont,
including anticipated tax treatment, unforeseen liabilities, future
capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, productivity
actions, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition,
losses, future prospects, business and management strategies for
the management, expansion and growth of the combined operations;
(ii) impact of the divestitures required as a condition to
consummation of the Merger Transaction as well as other conditional
commitments; (iii) achievement of the anticipated synergies by
DowDuPont’s agriculture, materials science and specialty products
businesses; (iv) risks associated with the Intended Business
Separations, including those that may result from the comprehensive
portfolio review undertaken by the DowDuPont board, changes and
timing, including a number of conditions which could delay, prevent
or otherwise adversely affect the proposed transactions, including
possible issues or delays in obtaining required regulatory
approvals or clearances related to the Intended Business
Separations, disruptions in the financial markets or other
potential barriers; (v) the risk that disruptions from the Intended
Business Separations will harm DowDuPont’s business (either
directly or as conducted by and through Dow or DuPont), including
current plans and operations; (vi) the ability to retain and hire
key personnel; (vii) potential adverse reactions or changes to
business relationships resulting from the completion of the merger
or the Intended Business Separations; (viii) uncertainty as to the
long-term value of DowDuPont common stock; (ix) continued
availability of capital and financing and rating agency actions;
(x) legislative, regulatory and economic developments; (xi)
potential business uncertainty, including changes to existing
business relationships, during the pendency of the Intended
Business Separations that could affect the company’s financial
performance and (xii) unpredictability and severity of catastrophic
events, including, but not limited to, acts of terrorism or
outbreak of war or hostilities, as well as management’s response to
any of the aforementioned factors. These risks, as well as other
risks associated with the merger and the Intended Business
Separations, are more fully discussed in (1) the Registration
Statement and (2) the current, periodic and annual reports filed
with the SEC by DowDuPont and to the extent incorporated by
reference into the Registration Statement, by Dow and DuPont. While
the list of factors presented here is, and the list of factors
presented in the Registration Statement are, considered
representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete
statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted
factors may present significant additional obstacles to the
realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material
differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the
forward-looking statements could include, among other things,
business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal
liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could
have a material adverse effect on DowDuPont’s, Dow’s or DuPont’s
consolidated financial condition, results of operations, credit
rating or liquidity. None of DowDuPont, Dow or DuPont assumes any
obligation to publicly provide revisions or updates to any
forward-looking statements regarding the proposed transaction and
intended business separations, whether as a result of new
information, future developments or otherwise, should circumstances
change, except as otherwise required by securities and other
applicable laws.
