Other Events

On September 9, 2026, Corteva, Inc. and its subsidiary EIDP, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”), The Chemours Company (“Chemours”) and its subsidiary The Chemours Company FC, and DuPont de Nemours, Inc. (“DuPont”) reached a settlement with State of North Carolina, by and through the North Carolina Attorney General, and Bladen County, Brunswick County, Columbus County, Cumberland County, New Hanover County, Robeson County, Sampson County, Town of Wrightsville Beach, City of Lumberton, Village of Bald Head Island, and the Lower Cape Fear Water and Sewer Authority of statewide PFAS clams; Fayetteville Works site related claims, as well as for the Company and DuPont all claims related to historical discharges from the Fayetteville Works site and any obligations under the Chemours 2019 consent order with the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (“NC Consent Order”). Under the settlement the companies will collectively pay $455 million to the State of North Carolina and applicable state subdivisions over 15 years, with the Company’s share being approximately $66 million. Additionally, as part of the settlement, the Company and DuPont, on a 29% and 71% basis, respectively, are required to guarantee Chemours’ share of the settlement payments, as well as establish a reserve fund via a line of credit, letter of credit, and/or a surety bond capped at $135 million that the State of North Carolina may access in the event Chemours does not comply with its NC Consent Order.

In connection with the North Carolina settlement, Chemours, DuPont and the Company reached the following understandings relating to the January 2021 Memorandum of Understanding by and among Chemours, DuPont, Corteva and EIDP (the “MOU”).

For purposes of calculating the amount of qualified spend applied against the MOU’s $4 billion aggregate qualified spend cap, the aggregate settlement payments made to North Carolina will be applied against the MOU cap in the amount of $210 million, reflecting the net present value of such settlement payments spread equally over a twenty-five-year period from the date the settlement becomes final (rather than the actual timing of the payments) and using an 8% discount rate. Net present value also was used to determine the amount of the aggregate payments under the 2025 settlement with the State of New Jersey applied against the MOU cap, and the parties have agreed to use this net present value methodology for potential future settlements with multi-year payments.

In addition, since the aggregate payments to be made in connection with the New Jersey and North Carolina settlements will qualify for withdrawal from the MOU Escrow Account and exceed the parties’ future escrow contribution obligations, all future contributions required by the parties to the MOU Escrow Account will be considered satisfied by the parties’ New Jersey and North Carolina settlement payments.
