There are no transactions in which Ms. Dial or Mr. Moreno have an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Subject to their election, Ms. Dial and Mr. Moreno will participate in compensation arrangements for non-employee Directors as described under the heading “Director Compensation” in Dow’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2020.
