WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DuPont de Nemours, Inc. (NYSE: DD) ("DuPont") announced today the final results of its previously announced offers to exchange (each an "Exchange Offer" and, collectively, the "Exchange Offers") any and all of its outstanding (i) 4.725% Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes"), (ii) 5.319% Notes due 2038 (the "2038 Notes") and (iii) 5.419% Notes due 2048 (the "2048 Notes" and, collectively with the 2028 Notes and 2038 Notes, the "Existing Notes") for new notes to be issued by DuPont (the "New Notes"). Concurrently with the Exchange Offers, DuPont also solicited consents from eligible holders of each series of Existing Notes (each, a "Consent Solicitation" and, collectively, the "Consent Solicitations") to adopt certain proposed amendments to the indenture (the "Existing Indenture") governing the Existing Notes of such series (the "Proposed Amendments"). In this press release, references to "New Notes" collectively refer to DuPont's new 4.725% Notes due 2028 (the "New 2028 Notes"), 5.319% Notes due 2038 (the "New 2038 Notes") and 5.419% Notes due 2048 (the "New 2048 Notes") to be issued in the applicable Exchange Offer.

Each Exchange Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 30, 2025 (the "Expiration Date").

As previously announced, DuPont amended the consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of the Existing Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Exchange Offers such that all tendering eligible holders would be eligible to receive the "Total Consideration", consisting of (a) $950 principal amount of New Notes of the applicable series plus (b) $50 principal amount of the New Notes of the applicable series and $2.50 in cash (the "Early Participation Payment"). The Total Consideration will be paid on the settlement date for each Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, which is currently expected to be October 2, 2025 (the "Settlement Date").

As previously announced, the requisite number of consents were received to adopt the Proposed Amendments with respect to the 2028 Notes, and DuPont executed a supplemental indenture to the Existing Indenture with respect to the 2028 Notes, which became effective upon execution and becomes operative on the Settlement Date. As of the Expiration Date, DuPont announced that an aggregate principal amount of $1,584,398,000 of 2028 Notes were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the applicable Exchange Offer, as set forth in the table below. The table below also sets forth the Aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding and the Percent of Principal Amount Outstanding Tendered with respect to the 2028 Notes as of the Expiration Date. In accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, DuPont accepted for exchange all the 2028 Notes validly tendered and not properly withdrawn as of the Expiration Date.

Title of Series of Notes	CUSIP / ISIN No.	Aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding	Aggregate Principal Amount Tendered at or prior to the Expiration Date	Percent of Principal Amount Outstanding Tendered at or prior to the Expiration Date	Total Consideration(1)(2)
4.725% Notes due 2028	26078J AD2 / US26078JAD28	$2,250,000,000	$1,584,398,000	70.42 %	$1,000 principal amount of New 2028 Notes and $2.50 in cash

(1) For each $1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes accepted for exchange.

(2) Includes Early Participation Payment (as defined herein).

For each $1,000 principal amount of the 2028 Notes validly tendered and not properly withdrawn as of the Expiration Date, all tendering eligible holders are entitled to receive the Total Consideration, as set forth in the table above. The New 2028 Notes to be issued by DuPont in exchange for the 2028 Notes will have the same interest rate, interest payment dates, maturity date and optional redemption provisions as the 2028 Notes; provided that the methodology for calculating any make-whole redemption price for the New 2028 Notes will reflect the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association model provisions. The first interest payment on the New 2028 Notes will include the accrued and unpaid interest from the 2028 Notes tendered in exchange therefor so that a tendering eligible holder will receive the same interest payment it would have received had its 2028 Notes not been tendered in the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation.

As of the Expiration Date, DuPont announced that an aggregate principal amount of $225,963,000 of 2038 Notes and $294,781,000 of 2048 Notes were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the applicable Exchange Offers, as set forth in the table below. The requisite number of consents have not been received to adopt the Proposed Amendments with respect to the 2038 Notes or the 2048 Notes. DuPont previously announced that, if it were to not receive the requisite consents to effect the Proposed Amendments with respect to either the 2038 Notes or the 2048 Notes, then DuPont would (i) waive the condition that at least 50.1% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of such applicable series of Existing Notes being validly tendered in such Exchange Offer (the "Minimum Tender Condition") and (ii) accept all Existing Notes of such series tendered and not previously properly withdrawn at or before the Expiration Date up to (x) $400,000,000 principal amount with respect to the 2038 Notes (the "2038 Notes Sublimit") and (y) $860,000,000 principal amount with respect to the 2048 Notes (the "2048 Notes Sublimit"; the 2038 Notes Sublimit and 2048 Notes Sublimit are each referred to as an "Exchange Sublimit"), in each case subject to the applicable proration procedures. As DuPont did not receive the requisite consents to effect the Proposed Amendments with respect to both the 2038 Notes and the 2048 Notes and neither Exchange Sublimit was reached, DuPont has (i) waived the Minimum Tender Condition applicable to the 2038 Notes and the 2048 Notes and (ii) accepted all 2038 Notes and 2048 Notes tendered and not validly withdrawn at or before the Expiration Date.

With regard to achieving DuPont's intended capital structure in connection with the Intended Electronics Separation[1], DuPont expects to redeem additional New 2028 Notes and/or existing 2028 Notes. Specifically, as previously announced, DuPont expects to redeem, promptly on or after the consummation of the Intended Electronics Separation (together with the $900,000,000 special mandatory redemption provisions under the New 2028 Notes), up to an additional aggregate principal amount of New 2028 Notes and/or outstanding existing 2028 Notes equal to the amount of the Exchange Sublimits less the principal amount of 2038 Notes and 2048 Notes accepted in each applicable Exchange Offer.

Title of Series of Notes	CUSIP / ISIN No.	Aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding	Aggregate Principal Amount Tendered at or prior to the Expiration Date	Percent of Principal Amount Outstanding Tendered at or prior to the Expiration Date	Total Consideration(1)(2)

For each $1,000 principal amount of the 2038 Notes and 2048 Notes validly tendered and not properly withdrawn as of the Expiration Date, all such tendering eligible holders are entitled to receive the Total Consideration, as set forth in the table directly above. The New 2038 Notes to be issued by DuPont in exchange for the 2038 Notes and the New 2048 Notes to be issued by DuPont in exchange for the 2048 Notes will have the same interest rate, interest payment dates, maturity date and optional redemption provisions as the 2038 Notes and 2048 Notes, respectively; provided that the methodology for calculating any make-whole redemption price for the New 2038 Notes and New 2048 Notes will reflect the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association model provisions. The first interest payment on the New 2038 Notes and New 2048 Notes will include the accrued and unpaid interest from the 2038 Notes and 2048 Notes respectively tendered in exchange therefor so that a tendering eligible holder will receive the same interest payment it would have received had its 2038 Notes and 2048 Notes respectively not been tendered in the applicable Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitations.
