When our company was created through the merger of equals transaction between The Dow Chemical Company and E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, we announced our intention to separate into three independent, publicly traded companies – one for each of our agriculture, materials science and specialty products businesses. On April 1, 2019, we completed the separation of the materials science business through the spin-off of Dow Inc. (“Dow”) and our stockholders received one (1) share of Dow stock for every three (3) shares of DowDuPont common stock held on that date. This is what we refer to as the Dow Distribution.
On June 1, 2019, we completed the separation of the agriculture business, through the spin-off of Corteva, Inc. (“Corteva”) and our stockholders received one (1) share of Corteva common stock for every three (3) shares of DowDuPont common stock they held on that date. This is what we refer to as the Corteva Distribution. In both cases, DowDuPont stockholders received or will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of the common stock of Dow Inc. or Corteva, Inc.
It is expected that the receipt of Dow common stock as part of the Dow Distribution and of Corteva common stock as part of the Corteva Distribution will be tax-free to our stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes (except for any cash received in lieu of fractional shares). However, any cash payments made instead of fractional shares will generally be taxable to you.
All whole shares of Dow common stock and of Corteva common stock were distributed electronically in direct registration (book-entry) form by Computershare, the transfer agent for Dow and Corteva and our distribution agent for the Dow and Corteva Distributions Our registered stockholders entitled to receive Dow common stock and/or Corteva common stock, received a transaction statement as evidence of their ownership of Dow and/or Corteva shares and, if applicable, a check representing cash in lieu of any fractional share of either Dow or Corteva common stock. Please retain the Transaction Statement for your records.
Yes, we changed it to DuPont de Nemours, Inc. We made the change following the Dow and Corteva Distributions in alignment with our identity as a separate company that is a premier innovation provider of value-added specialized solutions that transform industries and everyday life.
Yes, our New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) ticker symbol is now DD.
Yes, our new CUSIP is 26614N102.
Immediately following the Corteva Distribution, we completed a 1-for-3 reverse stock split on June 1, 2019, (the “Reverse Split”) with cash to be paid in lieu of any fractional shares.
Any shares of DowDuPont Inc. common stock that you held immediately prior to the effective time of the Reverse Split, were automatically exchanged for DuPont common stock electronically in direct registration (book-entry) form by Computershare. You do not need to take any action with respect to this exchange. Stockholders entitled to receive DuPont shares in the Reverse Split, will receive a statement of ownership from Computershare and a cash payment (if applicable) for cash in lieu of any fractional shares. Please retain the ownership statement for your records.

A medallion guarantee is a type of signature guarantee used within the securities industry which verifies the authority and authenticity of a signature. A medallion signature guarantee is different from a notary. Signatures on written instructions, forms or stock certificates authorizing stock transactions must be reviewed by a firm that is a member of a qualified medallion guarantee program and have a medallion signature guarantee stamp affixed. Firms participating in the medallion stamp program include commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan institutions, U.S. stockbrokers and security dealers, or credit unions. If you require a medallion signature guarantee, contact a bank, brokerage house or other financial institution with which you do business. Please note that if you are not the registered owner, you will be required to present documentation to the guarantor proving your authorization to execute the transfer.

Escheatment is the process by which abandoned or unclaimed property is transferred to a state, making the state the legal owner of the property. A stock account can be deemed abandoned by inactivity due to an incorrect mailing address, uncashed dividend checks, or no direct contact by the stockholder for a specified period of time. Each state has its own escheatment laws, with inactivity or dormancy periods ranging from three to five years. The laws apply to all inactive stock accounts – whether owned by U.S. or foreign stockholders, including those enrolled in dividend reinvestment plans or direct deposit of dividend payments or holding paper stock certificates. Before any property is transferred to a state, all companies are required to perform a due diligence search for owners of property at risk of escheatment.
You must keep your stock account active. Do this by: keeping your address current and correct, voting your proxy, cashing or depositing all dividend checks, and responding to any due diligence mailings from our transfer agent.
Several states confirmed that dividend reinvestment may not constitute "direct" contact by a stockholder. So even if there is a good address on the account, if there has been no other account activity (for example, sale or purchase of shares, voting a proxy, or an address change or response to a due diligence mailing) during the dormancy period governed by the state, the stock account may be considered to be inactive or dormant by the state. As such, the property is then escheated to the state according to its specific laws.
Go to www.unclaimed.org to start your search. International stockholders should search in the State of Delaware. To make a claim, follow the instructions provided by each state.
