We are excited to share that on May 22, 2024, DuPont announced plans to separate(1) into three industry-leading, independent publicly traded companies. This strategic move will create focused businesses with distinct investment profiles. We believe the proposed separations will create opportunities for all three future companies to better serve their customers and unlock long-term value for stakeholders. This process is expected to take 18-24 months from the date of announcement to complete. We are committed to supporting our employees throughout this transition and ensuring a smooth and successful separation process. We look forward to welcoming new talent who are interested in contributing to the continued success and growth of our evolving organization.
(1)The separation transactions are subject to satisfaction of customary conditions, including final approval by DuPont's Board of Directors, receipt of tax opinion from counsel, the filing and effectiveness of Form 10 registration statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, applicable regulatory approvals, and satisfactory completion of financing. For further discussion of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could impact the achievement, expected timing and intended benefits of the separation transactions, see DuPont’s announcement.
