Key Details

• Shares registered: 5,410,000 shares of common stock (par value $0.01).
• Registration vehicle: Form S-3 (File No. 333-288028) with a prospectus supplement dated July 10, 2026.
• Purpose: To cover future issuance upon exercise, settlement or vesting of certain equity awards under the 2019 Stock Incentive Plan that cannot be registered on Form S-8.
• Exhibits: Legal opinion of Shandell S. Massey filed as Exhibit 5.1; consent included (Exhibit 23.1).

Why It Matters This filing does not itself issue shares or raise cash, but it clears the administrative step of registering shares so Dow can deliver stock tied to equity awards when they vest, are exercised, or settled. For investors, registration means potential future dilution when these awards are settled in shares, and it provides the company flexibility to fulfill compensation commitments under its stock incentive plan. No financial results or changes in management were reported in this 8-K.
