Forward-Looking Statements
This document contains forward-looking statements which may be identified by their use of words like âplans,â âexpects,â âwill,â âbelieves,â
âintends,â âestimates,â âanticipatesâ or other words of similar meaning. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future,
including statements about the companyâs strategy for growth, product development, regulatory approval, market position, anticipated benefits
of recent acquisitions, timing of anticipated benefits from restructuring actions, outcome of contingencies, such as litigation and environmental
matters, expenditures and financial results, and timing of, as well as expected benefits, including synergies, from proposed merger with The
Dow Chemical Company and intended post-merger separations, are forward looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not
guarantees of future performance and are based on certain assumptions and expectations of future events which may not be realized.
Forward-looking statements also involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the companyâs control. Some of the important
factors that could cause the companyâs actual results to differ materially from those projected in any such forward-looking statements are:
fluctuations in energy and raw material prices; failure to develop and market new products and optimally manage product life cycles; ability to
respond to market acceptance, rules, regulations and policies affecting products based on biotechnology and, in general, for products for the
agriculture industry; outcome of significant litigation and environmental matters, including realization of associated indemnification assets, if
any; failure to appropriately manage process safety and product stewardship issues; changes in laws and regulations or political conditions;
global economic and capital markets conditions, such as inflation, interest and currency exchange rates; business or supply disruptions;
security threats, such as acts of sabotage, terrorism or war, natural disasters and weather events and patterns which could affect demand as
well as availability of products for the agriculture industry; ability to protect and enforce the companyâs intellectual property rights; successful
integration of acquired businesses and separation of underperforming or non-strategic assets or businesses; and risks related to the
agreement entered on December 11, 2015, with The Dow Chemical Company pursuant to which the companies have agreed to effect an all-
stock merger of equals, including the completion of the proposed transaction on anticipated terms and timing, the ability to fully and timely
realize the expected benefits of the proposed transaction and risks related to the intended business separations contemplated to occur after
the completion of the proposed transaction. The company undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statements as a result of future
developments or new information.

Cautionary Notes on Forward Looking Statements
This communication contains âforward-looking statementsâ 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. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business and financial
performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as âexpect,â âanticipate,â âintend,â âplan,â âbelieve,â âseek,â âsee,â âwill,â âwould,â âtarget,â similar expressions,
and variations or negatives of these words. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, such as statements about the
consummation of the proposed transaction and the anticipated benefits thereof. These and other forward-looking statements, including the failure to consummate the proposed
transaction or to make or take any filing or other action required to consummate such transaction on a timely matter or at all, are not guarantees of future results and are subject
to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that
may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, (i) the completion of the proposed transaction on anticipated terms and timing, including obtaining shareholder and
regulatory approvals, anticipated tax treatment, unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, economic performance,
indebtedness, financial condition, losses, future prospects, business and management strategies for the management, expansion and growth of the new combined companyâs
operations and other conditions to the completion of the merger, (ii) the ability of Dow and DuPont to integrate the business successfully and to achieve anticipated synergies,
risks and costs and pursuit and/or implementation of the potential separations, including anticipated timing, any changes to the configuration of businesses included in the
potential separation if implemented, (iii) the intended separation of the agriculture, material science and specialty products businesses of the combined company post-mergers
in one or more tax efficient transactions on anticipated terms and timing, including a number of conditions which could delay, prevent or otherwise adversely affect the proposed
transactions, including possible issues or delays in obtaining required regulatory approvals or clearances, disruptions in the financial markets or other potential barriers, (iv)
potential litigation relating to the proposed transaction that could be instituted against Dow, DuPont or their respective directors, (v) the risk that disruptions from the proposed
transaction will harm Dowâs or DuPontâs business, including current plans and operations, (vi) the ability of Dow or DuPont to retain and hire key personnel, (vii) potential
adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the merger, (viii) uncertainty as to the long-term value of DowDuPont
common stock, (ix) continued availability of capital and financing and rating agency actions, (x) legislative, regulatory and economic developments, (xi) potential business
uncertainty, including changes to existing business relationships, during the pendency of the merger that could affect Dowâs and/or DuPontâs financial performance, (xii) certain
restrictions during the pendency of the merger that may impact Dowâs or DuPontâs ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions and (xiii)
unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including, but not limited to, acts of terrorism or outbreak of war or hostilities, as well as managementâs response to any of
the aforementioned factors. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the proposed merger, are more fully discussed in the joint proxy statement/prospectus included
in the preliminary registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed merger. While the list of factors presented here is, and the list of factors
presented in the preliminary registration statement on Form S-4 are, considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential
risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward looking statements. Consequences of material differences in
results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal
liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Dowâs or DuPontâs consolidated financial condition, results of operations, credit
