Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Effective as of April 1, 2019, in connection with DowDuPont Inc.’s (“DowDuPont”) previously announced intended separation into three independent, publicly traded companies, one for each of its agriculture, materials science and specialty products businesses (the “Intended Business Separations”), DowDuPont entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) with Dow Inc. (“Dow”) and Corteva Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of DowDuPont (“Corteva”), that sets forth, among other things, the principal transactions necessary to effect the separations of Dow and Corteva.

On May 1, 2019, in connection with the Intended Business Separations and pursuant to the Separation Agreement, E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (“Historical DuPont”) and/or one or more of its subsidiaries completed a series of internal reorganization transactions resulting in the disposition of the legal entities previously owned by Historical DuPont or one of its subsidiaries and associated with DowDuPont’s specialty products business to DowDuPont (the “Historical DuPont SpecCo Disposition”).

On May 2, 2019, in connection with the Intended Business Separations and pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Historical DuPont acquired the legal entities associated with DowDuPont’s agriculture business that were not previously owned by Historical DuPont (i.e., the Dow AgroSciences business) (the “DAS Acquisition”).

Historical DuPont has attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 hereto the financial statements and pro forma financial information required to be filed pursuant to Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X and Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

A description of the internal reorganization and related transactions undertaken in connection with the Intended Business Separations can be found in the section entitled “Internal Reorganization” in the information statement (the “Information Statement”) filed as Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement on Form 10, filed by Corteva with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2019 (File No. 001-38710), as such may be amended from time to time.
