Corteva (NYSE: CTVA)/b) reported early tender results for private exchange offers by wholly owned subsidiary covering three EIDP senior note series totaling $1.6 billion. As of the August 19, 2026 early deadline, $431.6 million (86.33%) of 2030 notes, $468.4 million (93.69%) of 2032 notes and $524.9 million (87.48%) of 2033 notes were validly tendered.

Vylor obtained the Requisite Consents to amend the base indenture and Majority Consents for each supplemental indenture, with amendments to become operative at settlement. Corteva extended the expiration of each offer and consent solicitation to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 29, 2026, unless further extended or terminated. Early tendering eligible holders receive $1,000 in new Vylor notes plus cash of about $2.67–$2.90 per $1,000; later tenders receive $970 in notes and no cash, in each case plus accrued interest.

Vylor’s obligation to exchange is conditioned on completion of Corteva’s planned separation into two independent public companies, expected on or about October 1, 2026, with settlement targeted for the second business day after the extended expiration date, substantially simultaneous with the separation.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Corteva, Inc. (NYSE: CTVA) announced today that Vylor Inc., a Delaware corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary ("Vylor"), has received the early tender results of its previously announced (i) private offers to exchange (with respect to each series, an "Exchange Offer" and together, the "Exchange Offers") any and all of the outstanding senior notes of the series listed in the table below issued by EIDP, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Corteva ("EIDP" and such notes, collectively, the "EIDP Notes"), to the extent held by eligible holders, for a corresponding series of notes to be newly issued by Vylor (collectively, the "Vylor Notes") and (ii) related consent solicitations (with respect to the EIDP Base Indenture (as defined below) and the applicable EIDP Supplemental Indenture (as defined below) governing a series of EIDP Notes, a "Consent Solicitation" and together, the "Consent Solicitations") from eligible holders of EIDP Notes. The Consent Solicitations seek approval to adopt (a) certain proposed amendments to the base indenture governing the EIDP Notes (the "EIDP Base Indenture"), which would eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and events of default (other than payment-related and bankruptcy-related events of default) from the EIDP Base Indenture (such proposed amendments, the "Proposed EIDP Base Indenture Amendments"), and (b) certain proposed amendments to the supplemental indentures to the EIDP Base Indenture (each, an "EIDP Supplemental Indenture"), which would eliminate the offer to repurchase upon change of control provisions from the applicable EIDP Supplemental Indenture (such proposed amendments, the "Proposed EIDP Supplemental Indenture Amendments" and, together with the Proposed EIDP Base Indenture Amendments, the "Proposed Amendments"). Approval of the Proposed EIDP Base Indenture Amendments requires consents from the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of all the EIDP Notes, voting as a single class (the "Requisite Consents"). Approval of the Proposed EIDP Supplemental Indenture Amendments requires consents from the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable series of EIDP Notes (the "Majority Consents").

The table below sets forth, for each series of EIDP Notes, the principal amount validly tendered and not validly withdrawn (and the consents thereby validly delivered and not validly revoked) as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 19, 2026 (the "Early Tender Deadline"). As of the Early Tender Deadline, Vylor has received, on behalf of EIDP, (i) the Requisite Consents to adopt the Proposed EIDP Base Indenture Amendments with respect to all EIDP Notes and (ii) the Majority Consents to adopt the Proposed EIDP Supplemental Indenture Amendments with respect to each series of EIDP Notes. Accordingly, the condition to each Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation that the Requisite Consents be received on or prior to the Early Tender Deadline has been satisfied. The Exchange Offers are not conditioned upon the receipt of the Majority Consents with respect to any EIDP Supplemental Indenture. EIDP Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by the Early Tender Deadline may no longer be withdrawn, and related consents validly delivered and not validly revoked may no longer be revoked.

EIDP and the trustee under the EIDP Base Indenture intend to execute and deliver a supplemental indenture to amend the EIDP Base Indenture, giving effect to the Proposed EIDP Base Indenture Amendments, and to amend the EIDP Supplemental Indentures governing each series of EIDP Notes, giving effect to the applicable Proposed EIDP Supplemental Indenture Amendments. The applicable Proposed Amendments will become operative only upon the settlement of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations on the Settlement Date (as defined below).

The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are being made upon the terms and conditions set forth in an exchange offer memorandum and consent solicitation statement, dated August 6, 2026 (as amended or supplemented, the "Offering Memorandum"), copies of which have been made available to holders of the EIDP Notes eligible to participate in the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations.

Corteva further announced today that it has extended the expiration date of each Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation. Corteva hereby extends such expiration date from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 3, 2026, to, unless extended or earlier terminated, 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 29, 2026 (such date and time, as they may be further extended, the "Expiration Date"). Vylor reserves the right to terminate, withdraw, amend or extend an Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation in its sole discretion, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Memorandum. Except as described in this press release, all other terms of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations remain unchanged.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Memorandum, each eligible holder of EIDP Notes will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of the applicable series of EIDP Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for exchange in the applicable Exchange Offer, (i) an equal principal amount of Vylor Notes of the corresponding series and (ii) a cash payment (with respect to each series, the "Cash Consideration" and, together with such amount of Vylor Notes, the "Total Exchange Consideration"). The Cash Consideration is approximately $2.90 per $1,000 principal amount for the 2.300% Senior Notes due 2030, approximately $2.67 per $1,000 principal amount for the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2032 and approximately $2.86 per $1,000 principal amount for the 4.800% Senior Notes due 2033. The Vylor Notes will have the same interest payment dates, maturity date and interest rate as the EIDP Notes of the corresponding series.

Eligible holders who validly tender their EIDP Notes after the Early Tender Deadline but on or prior to the Expiration Date will be eligible to receive $970 principal amount of the applicable series of Vylor Notes per $1,000 principal amount of the corresponding series of EIDP Notes validly tendered (the "Exchange Consideration") but no Cash Consideration.

In addition, all eligible holders whose EIDP Notes are validly tendered and accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations will receive a cash payment equal to the accrued and unpaid interest on their EIDP Notes accepted for exchange from the last interest payment date of the applicable EIDP Notes preceding the Settlement Date up to, but excluding, the Settlement Date.

Vylor's obligation to accept and exchange any EIDP Notes validly tendered pursuant to the applicable Exchange Offer is subject to, and conditioned upon, the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted) waiver of certain conditions as set forth in the Offering Memorandum, including the condition that Corteva's planned separation into two independent, publicly traded companies, one comprising its current crop protection business and the other comprising its current seed business to be owned and conducted, directly or indirectly, by Vylor (the "Separation"), be consummated. The Separation is currently expected to be consummated on or about October 1, 2026, subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions thereto. Other than the Separation (without the consummation of which the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations will not be consummated, neither the applicable Exchange Consideration nor the applicable Total Exchange Consideration will be delivered, and the Proposed Amendments contemplated by the Consent Solicitations will not become operative), Vylor may generally waive any condition with respect to the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, in its sole discretion, at any time prior to the Expiration Date.

Assuming the remaining conditions to the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are satisfied or (to the extent permitted) waived, settlement of the Exchange Offers is expected to occur on or about the second business day following the Expiration Date and substantially simultaneously with the consummation of the Separation, unless Vylor extends or terminates the Exchange Offers (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the "Settlement Date"). Accordingly, Vylor may, in its discretion, extend each of the Expiration Date and the Settlement Date as necessary to maintain such sequencing. Interest on the applicable series of Vylor Notes issued in the related Exchange Offer will accrue from (and including) the Issue Date (the date on which such Vylor Notes are issued in exchange for the corresponding series of EIDP Notes).

The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are being made only to holders of EIDP Notes who satisfy the eligibility conditions described under "Disclaimer" below. Holders of EIDP Notes who desire a copy of the eligibility letter should contact D.F. King & Co., Inc., the information agent and exchange agent for the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, by phone at (800) 283-9185 or by email at vylor@dfking.com. Banks and brokers should call (646) 461-2610. The eligibility letter may also be found here: www.dfking.com/vylor. D.F. King & Co., Inc. will also provide copies of the Offering Memorandum to eligible holders of EIDP Notes.

Holders of EIDP Notes are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold EIDP Notes as to when such intermediary needs to receive instructions from a holder in order for that holder to be able to participate in, or (in the circumstances in which revocation is permitted) revoke their instruction to participate in, the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations before the deadlines specified herein and in the Offering Memorandum. The deadlines set by each clearing system for the submission and withdrawal of exchange instructions will also be earlier than the relevant deadlines specified herein and in the Offering Memorandum.

The complete terms and conditions of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are set forth in the Offering Memorandum. The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are only being made pursuant to the Offering Memorandum. The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are not being made to holders of EIDP Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction.
