DowDuPont Inc. (the “ Company ”) held a Special Meeting of Stockholders on May 23, 2019 (the “ Special Meeting ”). The following is a summary of the matters voted on at that meeting:

(i) The stockholders approved a proposal to adopt an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “ Charter Amendment ”) to effect (a) a reverse stock split (the “ Reverse Stock Split ”) of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), at a reverse stock split ratio of not less than 2-for-5 and not greater than 1-for-3, with an exact ratio as may be determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “ Board ”), and (b) a reduction in the number of authorized shares of the Common Stock by a corresponding ratio (collectively, the “ reverse stock split proposal ”). The number of shares cast in favor of the reverse stock split proposal, the number against, the number abstaining and the number of broker non-votes were as follows:

(ii) The stockholders approved a proposal to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the reverse stock split proposal (the “ adjournment proposal ”). The number of shares cast in favor of the adjournment proposal, the number against, the number abstaining and the number of broker non-votes were as follows:

The reverse stock split proposal was approved with 97% of the shares of Common Stock voting on the proposal voting in favor of the reverse stock split proposal.
