DD finalizes Qnity separation; launches tender and note redemptions

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

DuPont de Nemours (DD) completed the spin-off of its Electronics business as Qnity Electronics effective 12:03 a.m. on November 1, 2025, via a pro rata dividend in-kind. Holders of DuPont common stock as of October 22, 2025 received 1 share of Qnity for every 2 shares of DuPont. Qnity begins regular-way trading on the NYSE under the symbol “Q” on November 3, 2025.

To support separation, DuPont and Qnity executed a Separation and Distribution Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, Employee Matters Agreement, reciprocal Transition Services Agreements, an IP Cross‑License, and a Legacy Liabilities Assignment Agreement allocating specified legacy obligations. DuPont will disclose the Applicable DuPont Percentage for Minimum EBITDA under the Corteva framework after the distribution.

Debt actions include a special mandatory redemption of $900,000,000 New 2028 Notes, $225,963,000 New 2038 Notes, and $294,781,000 New 2048 Notes. DuPont launched consent solicitations backed by holders of 83.90% of 2038 Notes ($649,403,000) and 60.25% of 2048 Notes ($1,117,709,000), and a tender offer to purchase up to $739,256,000 of 2048 Notes at $1,000 per $1,000 plus accrued interest. Following these steps, DuPont targets repayment of approximately $4.0 billion of senior notes with about $168 million in refinancing expenses. Board size reduced to ten; leadership changes include the Executive Chairman transition to non-executive.

Insights

Credit markets analyst

Spin-off triggers redemptions; tender and consents reshape DuPont’s debt.

The separation triggered special mandatory redemptions of New Notes: $900,000,000 (2028), $225,963,000 (2038), and $294,781,000 (2048). Concurrently, DuPont seeks majority consents to amend the Indenture for the 2038 and 2048 series, with Supporting Holders representing 83.90% and 60.25%, respectively.

The 2048 tender offers cash at $1,000 per $1,000 principal up to a $739,256,000 cap, with an Early Tender Date on November 17, 2025 and expiration on December 3, 2025. If Supporting Holders tender $1,029,267,000, proration is expected. DuPont cites approximately $4.0 billion senior note repayment and about $168 million refinancing expenses after these actions.

Redemption notices must be sent promptly and no later than November 17, 2025, with redemption within 30 days of notice. Actual outcomes depend on participation and settlement mechanics defined in the offer documents.

Corporate actions & governance analyst

Qnity spin-off completed; operating agreements and leadership realigned.

DuPont completed the Qnity separation via dividend in-kind at a 1-for-2 ratio to DuPont shares as of October 22, 2025, with Qnity trading as Q from November 3, 2025. Post-separation agreements cover tax, employees, IP cross-licenses, transition services, and legacy liabilities allocation under defined percentages.

Board size moved to ten as three directors resigned. Edward D. Breen stepped down as Executive Chairman and remains non-executive Chairman. New appointments include Jeroen Bloemhard (Healthcare & Water Technologies), Beth Ferreira (Diversified Industrials), and Madeleine Barber (VP Tax, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer). These updates align operating focus with DuPont’s post-electronics portfolio.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

Special Mandatory Redemption Event

On September 2, 2025, DuPont previously announced the commencement of its offers to exchange (each an “Exchange Offer” and, collectively, the “Exchange Offers”) its outstanding 4.725% Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), 5.319% Notes due 2038 (the “2038 Notes”) and 5.419% Notes due 2048 (the “2048 Notes”, and together with the 2038 Notes, the “Consent Notes”) for new notes to be issued by DuPont. On October 2, 2025, DuPont issued $1,584,398,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.725% Notes due 2028 (the “New 2028 Notes”), $225,963,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.319% Notes due 2038 (the “New 2038 Notes”) and $294,781,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.419% Notes due 2048 (the “New 2048 Notes” and, collectively with the New 2028 Notes and the New 2038 Notes, the “New Notes”) in connection with the Exchange Offers.

Upon the Effective Time, the special mandatory redemption event was triggered under each series of New Notes. As a result, DuPont is required to redeem $900,000,000 principal amount of the New 2028 Notes, $225,963,000 principal amount of the New 2038 Notes and $294,781,000 principal amount of the New 2048 Notes (collectively, the “Special Mandatory Redemption Notes”). Following the Effective Time, DuPont must promptly (but in no event later than November 17, 2025) inform holders of the New Notes that such New Notes will be redeemed on the redemption date set forth in such notice, which will be no later than 30 days from the notice date.

Consent Solicitation and Offer to Purchase

On November 3, 2025, DuPont entered into a transaction support agreement (the “Transaction Support Agreement”) with certain noteholders (the “Supporting Holders”) that beneficially own $649,403,000 (or approximately 83.90%) of the 2038 Notes and $1,117,709,000 (or approximately 60.25%) of the 2048 Notes, each issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of November 28, 2018, by and between DowDuPont Inc. (n/k/a DuPont de Nemours, Inc.) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 28, 2018, by and between DowDuPont Inc. (n/k/a DuPont de Nemours, Inc.) and the Trustee (collectively, the “Indenture”). Pursuant to the Transaction Support Agreement, (i) DuPont has agreed to launch and the Supporting Holders have agreed to provide their consents with respect to their 2038 Notes and 2048 Notes (as applicable) in support of a solicitation of consents (the “Consent Solicitations”) with respect to the adoption of certain proposed amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) to the Indenture governing the applicable series of 2038 Notes and 2048 Notes to expressly permit DuPont to consummate the Separation and the proposed sale of its aramids business, and (ii) DuPont has agreed to launch and the Supporting Holders have agreed to tender $1,029,267,000 aggregate principal amount of their 2048 Notes into a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase for cash up to $739,256,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2048 Notes (the “Tender Cap”) at a purchase price equal to $1,000 per $1,000 aggregate principal amount of 2048 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) thereon to, but excluding, the applicable settlement date of the Tender Offer.

The Consent Solicitation for each series of the Consent Notes is expected to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 7, 2025, unless extended by DuPont with respect to one or more such series of Consent Notes. In order to approve the Proposed Amendments with respect to a series of the Consent Notes, holders of such series of Consent Notes must have validly delivered (and not validly revoked) consents that, in the aggregate, represent at least majority in aggregate principal amount of such outstanding series of Consent Notes (the “Requisite Consents”), prior to the expiration of the applicable Consent Solicitation. Assuming all of the Supporting Holders participate in the Consent Solicitations as provided in the Transaction Support Agreement, DuPont will receive the Requisite Consents for the Proposed Amendments to the Indenture with respect to each series of the Consent Notes. Pursuant to terms and conditions set forth in the Transaction Support Agreement, the Supporting Holders that validly deliver (and do not withdraw) their consents in the Consent Solicitations will be entitled to a cash support fee paid pursuant to the Transaction Support Agreement. No separate consent fees or any other consideration shall be paid to holders who deliver consents in the Consent Solicitations that are not party to the Transaction Support Agreement.

The Tender Offer is currently set to expire on December 3, 2025 (as such time and date may be extended by DuPont, the “Tender Expiration Date”). Holders may withdraw their tendered 2048 Notes prior to or at, but not after, 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 17, 2025 (as such date and time may be extended by DuPont). Payment for the 2048 Notes that are validly tendered prior to or at the Tender Expiration Date and that are accepted for purchase by DuPont will be made on the final settlement date thereof (which is expected to be two (2) business days after the Tender Expiration Date), provided that DuPont reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to make early payment for 2048 Notes that are validly tendered prior to or at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 17, 2025 (such date and time, as it may be extended by DuPont, the “Early Tender Date”) and that are accepted for purchase on the date referred to as the “Early Settlement Date” (which is expected to be two (2) business days after the Early Tender Date). 2048 Notes validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase in priority to other 2048 Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Date (whether or not there is an Early Settlement Date). If the aggregate principal amount of 2048 Notes validly tendered in the Tender Offer exceeds the Tender Cap, the amount of such 2048 Notes purchased will be determined on a prorated basis pursuant to the terms of the Tender Offer. 2048 Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date but prior to or at the Expiration Date will be eligible for purchase, and subject to proration, only if and to the extent that the aggregate principal amount of 2048 Notes that are validly tendered and accepted for purchase as of the Early Tender Date is less than the Tender Cap. Assuming the Supporting Holders tender their 2048 Notes in the Tender Offer as required pursuant to the Transaction Support Agreement, DuPont expects that the Tender Offer will be oversubscribed, and that proration will be required, the amount of which will not be knowable until after the Early Tender Date or the Tender Expiration Date, as applicable.

Following successful consummation of the Tender Offer, repayment at maturity of DuPont’s 4.493% Notes due 2025 and payment for the Special Mandatory Redemption Notes, DuPont will have successfully achieved its intended post-Electronics separation capital structure by repaying approximately $4.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its senior notes, with total refinancing expenses of approximately $168 million (including estimated redemption premiums using October 28, 2025 rates, and excluding swap termination expenses). In light of the entry into the Transaction Support Agreement and the expected results of the Consent Solicitations and Tender Offer, DuPont no longer expects to redeem or otherwise repay any 2028 Notes or New 2028 Notes beyond the $900,000,000 aggregate principal amount of New 2028 Notes that will be redeemed pursuant to the special mandatory redemption provisions of such New 2028 Notes.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be considered forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements often contain words such as “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “believe”, “seek”, “see”, “will”, “would”, “target”, “outlook”, “stabilization”, “confident”, “preliminary”, “initial”, “continue”, “may”, “could”, “project”, “estimate”, “forecast” and similar expressions and variations or negatives of these words. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements address matters that are, to varying degrees, uncertain and subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, many of which are beyond DuPont’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results. Some of the important factors that could cause DuPont’s actual results to differ materially from those projected in any such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to (i) the ability to realize the intended benefits of the Separation and the Distribution, including achievement of the intended tax treatment; contractual allocation to, and assumption by, Qnity of certain liabilities, including certain legacy liabilities with respect to PFAS; the possibility of disputes, litigation or unanticipated costs in connection with the Separation and the Distribution; and DuPont’s success in achieving its intended post-Separation capital structure; (ii) the ability to timely effect, if at all, the announced sale of DuPont’s aramids business to TJC LP (the “Aramids Divestiture”) and the impact of the Aramids Divestiture on DuPont’s balance sheet, financial condition and future results of operations; (iii) risks and costs related to the impact of the arrangement to share future eligible PFAS costs by and among DuPont, Corteva, Inc. and The Chemours Company, including the outcome of pending or future litigation related to PFAS or PFOA, which includes personal injury claims and natural resource damages claims; the extent and cost of ongoing and potential future remediation obligations; and changes in laws and regulations applicable to PFAS chemicals; (iv) the failure to realize expected benefits and effectively manage and achieve anticipated synergies and operational efficiencies in connection with the Separation, the Aramids Divestiture and completed and future, if any, divestitures, mergers, acquisitions, and other portfolio management, productivity and infrastructure actions; (v) risks and uncertainties that are outside
