WILMINGTON, Del., March 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DuPont (NYSE:DD) announced today that it plans to seek stockholder approval for an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to effect, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock at a ratio of not less than 1-for-2 or more than 1-for-4, with the exact ratio to be determined by the Board of Directors at a later date. If and when the reverse stock split is effected, the Certificate of Incorporation will also be amended to reflect a corresponding reduction in the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock by the selected reverse stock split ratio. The reverse stock split will have no impact on the voting and other rights of stockholders and will have no impact on the Company's business operations or any of its outstanding indebtedness.

DuPont will seek approval of the reverse stock split at its Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 21, 2026. DuPont's Board of Directors has set March 18, 2026, as the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The time and other details regarding the Annual Meeting will be communicated to stockholders at a later date via proxy materials which will be filed with, and will be subject to review by, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

Even if the reverse stock split is approved by the Company's stockholders, the Board of Directors may delay or abandon the reverse stock split at any time prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split if the Board of Directors determines that the reverse stock split is no longer in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders.

Solicitation Material

This communication may be deemed to be solicitation material in connection with the proposal to be submitted to DuPont's stockholders at its Annual Meeting of Stockholders seeking approval of an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split.

Stockholders are encouraged to read the preliminary proxy statement and all other relevant documents filed with the SEC when they become available, including the definitive proxy statement, because they will contain important information about the proposal.
