NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the interim statements reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) which are considered necessary for the fair statement of the results for the periods presented. Results from interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for the full year. These interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, collectively referred to as the “2020 Annual Report.” The interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained.

Basis of Presentation
Effective August 31, 2017, pursuant to the merger of equals transactionstransaction contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 11, 2015, as amended on March 31, 2017 ("Merger Agreement"), The Dow Chemical Company ("Dow"TDCC") and E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company ("DuPont"EID") each merged with subsidiaries of DowDuPont Inc. ("DowDuPont" or the "Company") and, as a result, DowTDCC and DuPontEID became subsidiaries of DowDuPont (the "Merger""DWDP Merger"). Prior to the Merger, DowDuPont did not conduct any business activities other than those required for its formation and matters contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Dow was determined to be the accounting acquirer in the Merger. As a result, the historical financial statements of Dow for periods prior to the Merger are considered to be the historical financial statements of DowDuPont.

On August 31, 2017, Dow's common stock, par value $2.50 per share, and DuPont's common stock, par value $0.30 per share, were voluntarily delisted from the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") in connection with the Merger and were suspended from trading on the NYSE prior to the open of trading on September 1, 2017. DowDuPont's common stock, par value $0.01 per share, commenced trading on the NYSE under ticker symbol DWDP on September 1, 2017.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of DowDuPont and its subsidiaries were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are considered necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements also include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of all majority-owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control and, when applicable, entities for


which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Investments in nonconsolidated affiliates (20-50 percent owned companies or less than 20 percent owned companies over which significant influence is exercised) are accounted for using the equity method.

Except as otherwise indicated by the context, the term "Dow" means The Dow Chemical Company"TDCC" includes TDCC and its consolidated subsidiaries; "DuPont" means E. I. du Pont de Nemourssubsidiaries and Company"EID" includes EID and its consolidated subsidiaries; "Union Carbide" means Union Carbide Corporation,subsidiaries.

On April 1, 2019, the Company completed the separation of the materials science business through the spin-off of Dow Inc., (“Dow”) including Dow’s subsidiary TDCC (the “Dow Distribution”). On June 1, 2019, the Company completed the separation of the agriculture business through the spin-off of Corteva, Inc. (“Corteva”) including Corteva’s subsidiary EID, (the “Corteva Distribution" and together with the Dow Distribution, the “DWDP Distributions”).

Following the Corteva Distribution, DuPont holds the specialty products business as continuing operations. On June 1, 2019, DowDuPont changed its registered name from "DowDuPont Inc." to "DuPont de Nemours, Inc." doing business as "DuPont." Beginning on June 3, 2019, the Company's common stock is traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "DD."

N&B Transaction
On February 1, 2021, DuPont completed the separation and distribution of the Nutrition & Biosciences business segment (the "N&B Business"), and merger of Nutrition & Biosciences, Inc. (“N&B”), a DuPont subsidiary formed to hold the N&B Business, with a subsidiary of International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. ("IFF"). The distribution was effected through an exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) and the consummation of the Exchange Offer was followed by the merger of N&B with a wholly owned subsidiary of Dow; and, "Dow Corning" means Dow Corning Corporation,IFF, with N&B surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Dow.IFF (the “N&B Merger” and, together with the Exchange Offer, the “N&B Transaction”). See Note 2 for more information.

Use of Estimates in Financial Statement Preparation
The preparationfinancial position of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the useDuPont as of estimatesMarch 31, 2021 and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements,December 31, 2020 and the reported amountsresults of revenuesoperations of DuPont for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and expenses during2020 present the reporting period.historical financial results of N&B as discontinued operations. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include amounts that are based on management’s best estimatescash flows and judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies
Asbestos-Related Matters
Accruals for asbestos-related matters, including defense and processing costs, are recorded based on an analysis of claim and resolution activity, defense spending, and pending and future claims. These accruals are assessed at each balance sheet datecomprehensive income related to determine if the asbestos-related liability remains appropriate. Accruals for asbestos-related matters are included in the consolidated balance sheets in “Accrued and other current liabilities” and “Asbestos-related liabilities - noncurrent.”

Legal Costs
The Company expenses legal costs as incurred, with the exception of defense and processing costs associated with asbestos-related matters.

Foreign Currency Translation
The local currency or U.S. dollarN&B have not been primarily used as the functional currency throughout the world. Translation gains and losses of those operations that use local currency as the functional currency are included in the consolidated balance sheets in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" ("AOCL"). For certain subsidiaries, the U.S. dollar is used as the functional currency. This occurs when the subsidiary operates in an economic environment where the products produced and sold are tied to U.S. dollar-denominated markets, or when the foreign subsidiary operates in a hyper-inflationary environment. Where the U.S. dollar is used as the functional currency, foreign currency translation gains and losses are reflected in income.

Environmental Matters
Accruals for environmental matters are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated based on current law and existing technologies. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessment and remediation efforts progress or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. Accruals for environmental liabilities are included in the consolidated balance sheets in “Accrued and other current liabilities” and “Other noncurrent obligations” at undiscounted amounts. Accruals for related insurance or other third-party recoveries for environmental liabilities are recorded when it is probable that a recovery will be realizedsegregated and are included in the consolidated balance sheetsinterim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and interim Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, respectively, for all periods presented. Unless otherwise indicated, the information in “Accountsthe notes to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements refer only to DuPont's continuing operations and notes receivable - Other.”do not include discussion of balances or activity of N&B.


Environmental costs are capitalized if2021 Segment Realignment
Immediately following the costs extend the lifeseparation and distribution of the property, increase its capacity, and/or mitigate or prevent contamination from future operations. Environmental costs are also capitalized in recognition of legal asset retirement obligations resulting from the acquisition, construction and/or normal operation of a long-lived asset. Costs related to environmental contamination treatment and cleanup are charged to expense. Estimated future incremental operations, maintenance and management costs directly related to remediation are accrued when such costs are probable and reasonably estimable.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include time deposits and investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.

Financial Instruments
The Company calculates the fair value of financial instruments using quoted market prices whenever available. When quoted market prices are not available for various types of financial instruments (such as forwards, options and swaps),N&B Business, the Company uses standard pricing modelsmade changes to its management and reporting structure (the “2021 Segment Realignment”) (see Note 22 for additional details). The reporting changes have been retrospectively reflected for all periods presented.

Gains and losses on derivatives designated and qualifying as fair value hedging instruments, as well asN&B, a DuPont subsidiary formed to hold the offsetting losses and gainsN&B Business, with a subsidiary of IFF. The distribution was effected through an exchange offer where, on the hedged items, are reportedterms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, eligible participating DuPont stockholders had the option to tender all, some or none of their shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of DuPont (the “DuPont Common Stock”) for a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of N&B (the “N&B Common Stock”) and which resulted in incomeall shares of N&B Common Stock being distributed to DuPont stockholders that participated in the same accounting period. Derivatives not designatedExchange Offer. The consummation of the Exchange Offer was followed by the merger of N&B with a wholly owned subsidiary of IFF, with N&B surviving the merger as hedging instruments are marked-to-market at the enda wholly owned subsidiary of each accounting periodIFF (the “N&B Merger” and, together with the results includedExchange Offer, the “N&B Transaction”). The N&B Transaction was subject to IFF shareholder approval, customary regulatory approvals, tax authority rulings including a favorable private letter ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service which confirms the N&B Transaction to be free of U.S. federal income tax, and expiration of the public exchange offer. DuPont does not have an ownership interest in income.IFF as a result of the N&B Transaction.


Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The method of determining cost for each subsidiary varies among last-in, first-out (“LIFO”); first-in, first-out (“FIFO”); and average cost, and is used consistently from year to year.

The Company routinely exchanges and swaps raw materials and finished goods with other companies to reduce delivery time, freight and other transportation costs. These transactions are treated as non-monetary exchanges and are valued at cost.

Property
Land, buildings and equipment, including property under capital lease agreements, are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is based on the estimated service lives of depreciable assets and is calculated using the straight-line method. Fully depreciated assets are retained in property and accumulated depreciation accounts until they are removed from service. In the caseExchange Offer, DuPont accepted approximately 197.4 million shares of disposals, assets and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the net amounts, less proceeds from disposal, are includedits common stock in income.

Impairment and Disposalexchange for about 141.7 million shares of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When undiscounted future cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover an asset’s carrying amount, the asset is written down to its fair value based on bids received from third parties, prices of similar assets or other valuation methodologies including a discounted cash flow analysis based on market participant assumptions.

Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, if material, are classifiedN&B Common Stock as held for sale and reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, and depreciation is ceased. Long-lived assets to be disposed of other than by sale are classified as held and used until they are disposed of and reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, and depreciation is recognized over the remaining useful life of the assets.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company records goodwill when the purchase price of a business combination exceeds the estimated fair value of net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level annually, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit has more likely than not declined below its carrying value. When testing goodwill for impairment, the Company may first assess qualitative factors. If an initial qualitative assessment identifies that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, additional quantitative testing is performed. The Company may also elect to skip the qualitative testing and proceed directly to the quantitative testing. If the quantitative testing indicates that goodwill is impaired, the carrying value of goodwill is written down to fair value. The Company primarily utilizes a discounted cash flow methodology to calculate the fair value of its reporting units.

Finite-lived intangible assets such as purchased customer lists, developed technology, patents, trademarks and software, are amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally on a straight-line basis for periods ranging primarily from three to twenty years, or amortized based on units of production. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment or obsolescence annually, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an intangible asset may not be recoverable. If impaired, intangible assets are written down to fair value based on discounted cash flows.



Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company records asset retirement obligations as incurred and reasonably estimable, including obligations for which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the controldate of the Company. The fair valuesN&B Transaction. As a result, DuPont reduced its common stock outstanding by 197.4 million shares of obligations are recorded as liabilitiesDuPont Common Stock. In the N&B Merger, each share of N&B Common Stock was automatically converted into the right to receive one share of IFF common stock, par value $0.125 per share, based on a discounted basis and are accreted over time for the change in present value. Costs associated with the liabilities are capitalized and amortized over the estimated remaining useful life of the asset.

Investments
Investments in debt and marketable equity securities (including warrants) are classified as trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. Investments classified as trading are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses related to mark-to-market adjustments included in income. Those classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded in AOCL. Those classified as held-to-maturity are recorded at amortized cost. The cost of investments sold is determined by FIFO or specific identification. The Company routinely reviews available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value below the cost basis. When events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, the security is written down to fair value, establishing a new cost basis.

Revenue
Sales are recognized when the revenue is realized or realizable, and the earnings process is complete. Revenue for product sales is recognized as risk and title to the product transfer to the customer, which usually occurs at the time shipment is made. As such, title to the product passes when the product is delivered to the freight carrier. The Company's standard terms of delivery are included in its contracts of sale, order confirmation documents and invoices. Freight costs and any directly related costs of transporting finished product to customers are recorded as “Cost of sales” in the consolidated statements of income.

Revenue related to Dow's insurance operations includes third-party insurance premiums, which are earned over the terms of the related insurance policiesN&B Merger Agreement.

Sale of Compound Semiconductor Solutions
In the first quarter of 2020, the Company completed the sale of its Compound Semiconductor Solutions business unit, a part of the Electronics & Industrial segment, to SK Siltron. The proceeds received in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Severance Costs
The Company routinely reviews its operations around the world in an effort to ensure competitiveness across its businesses and geographic regions. When the reviews result in a workforce reductionfirst quarter of 2020 related to the shutdownsale of facilities or other optimization activities, severance benefits are provided to employees primarily under Dow and DuPont's ongoing benefit arrangements. These severance costs are accrued once management commits tothe business were approximately $420 million. For the three months ended March 31,2020, a planpre-tax gain of termination and it becomes probable that employees will be entitled to benefits at amounts that can be reasonably estimated.$197 million ($102 million net of tax) was recorded in "Sundry income (expense) - net" in the Company's interim Consolidated Statements of Operations.


Integration and Separation Costs
The Company classifies expenses related to the MergerIntegration and the ownership restructure of Dow Corning as "Integration and separation costs" in the consolidated statements of income. Merger-related costs include: costs incurred to prepare for and close the Merger, post-Merger integration expenses and costs incurred to prepare for the separation of the Company’s agriculture, materials science and specialty products businesses. The Dow Corning related-costs include: costs incurred to prepare for and close the ownership restructure as well as integration expenses. These costs primarily consist of financial advisory, information technology, legal, accounting, consulting, and other professional advisory fees associated with preparation and execution of these activities.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets or liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company recognizes the financial statement effects of an uncertain income tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. The Company accrues for other tax contingencies when it is probable that a liability to a taxing authority has been incurred and the amount of the contingency can be reasonably


estimated. The current portion of uncertain income tax positions is included in “Income taxes payable” and the long-term portion is included in “Other noncurrent obligations” in the consolidated balance sheets.

Provision is made for taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and related companies to the extent that such earnings are not deemed to be permanently invested.

Earnings per Common Share
The calculation of earnings per common share is based on the weighted-average number of the Company’s common shares outstanding for the applicable period. The calculation of diluted earnings per common share reflects the effect of all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the respective periods, unless the effect of doing so is antidilutive.

NOTE 3 - REVENUE
Revenue Recognition
Products
Substantially all of DuPont's revenue is derived from product sales. Product sales consist of sales of DuPont's products to supply manufacturers and employee taxes paid for share-based payment arrangements were implemented ondistributors. DuPont considers purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master supply agreements, to be a retrospective basis. See Note 1 for additional information.

Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Adopted at September 30, 2017
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue fromcontract with a customer. Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which is the new comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The standard's core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expectscustomers are considered to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferralshort-term when the time between order confirmation and satisfaction of the Effective Date," issued in August 2015, revised the effective date for this ASU to annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, but not earlier than the original effective date of annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, for public entities. Entities will have the option of using either a full retrospective approach or a modified approach to adopt the guidance in ASU 2014-09.

In May 2014, the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board formed The Joint Transition Resource Group for Revenue Recognition ("TRG"), consisting of financial statement preparers, auditors and users, to seek feedback on potential issues related to the implementation of the new revenue standard. As a result of feedback from the TRG, the FASB issued additional guidance to provide clarification, implementation guidance and practical expedients to address some of the challenges of implementation. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)," which is an amendment on assessing whether an entity is a principal or an agent in a revenue transaction. This amendment addresses issues to clarify the principal versus agent assessment and lead to more consistent application. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing," which contains amendments to the new revenue recognition standard on identifying performance obligations and accounting for licensesis equal to or less than one year.

Disaggregation of intellectual property. The amendments related to identifying performance obligations clarify when a promised good or service is separately identifiable and allows entities to disregard items that are immaterial in the context of a contract. The licensing implementation amendments clarify how an entity should evaluate the nature of its promise in granting a license of intellectual property, which will determine whether revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients," which provides clarity and implementation guidance on assessing collectibility, presentation of sales taxes, noncash consideration, and completed contracts and contract modifications at transition. The new standards have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2014-09.

Revenue
The Company has a team in place to analyze ASU 2014-09disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by segment and the related ASU's across all revenue streams to evaluate the impact of the new standard on revenue contracts. This includes reviewing current accounting policiesbusiness or major product line and practices to identify potential differences that would result from applying the requirements under the new standard. The Company is completing contract evaluations and validating the results from applying the requirements under the new standard. The Company is in the process of finalizing its accounting policies, drafting the new disclosures, quantifying the potential financial adjustment and completing its evaluation of the impact of the accounting and disclosure requirements on its business processes, controls and systems. Full implementation will be complete by the end of 2017. Based on analysis completed to date,geographic region, as the Company expectsbelieves it best depicts the potential impact on accounting for product sales and licensing arrangements to remain substantially unchanged. The Company expects to adopt the new standard using the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance is recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the first quarter of 2018.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," which amends the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Changes to the current guidance primarily affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the ASU clarifies guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and upon adoption, an entity should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet at the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Early adoption is not permitted except for the provision to record fair value changes for financial liabilities under the fair value option resulting from instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income. The Company will adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of 2018 and the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," which requires organizations that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The new guidance requires that a lessee recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than twelve months and recognition, presentation and measurement in the financial statements will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. In addition, the new


guidance will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand thenature, amount, timing and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows arising from leases. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged from current U.S. GAAP but does contain some targeted improvementsflows.

On February 1, 2021, the Company realigned and renamed certain businesses as part of the 2021 Segment Realignment resulting in changes to alignits management and reporting structure (see Note 22 for additional details). In conjunction with the new revenue recognition guidance issued2021 Segment Realignment, DuPont made the following changes to its major product lines:
•Within Electronics & Industrial (formerly known as Electronics & Imaging) realigned product lines to include businesses formerly in 2014. The new standard is effective for fiscal years,Transportation & Industrial and interim periodsrenamed the Image Solutions product lines as Industrial Solutions;
•Renamed Safety & Construction as Water & Protection;
•Realigned certain businesses from the former Non-Core segment and renamed product lines within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, using a modified retrospective approach,Mobility & Materials (formerly known as Transportation & Industrial) as Advanced Solutions, Engineering Polymers, and early adoption is permitted.Performance Resins.

Contract Balances
From time to time, the Company enters into arrangements in which it receives payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules. The Company records accounts receivables when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract assets include amounts related to the Company’s contractual right to consideration for completed performance obligations not yet invoiced. Contract liabilities primarily reflect deferred revenue from advance payment for product that the Company has a team in placereceived from customers. The Company classifies deferred revenue as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when the Company expects to evaluate the new guidance and to facilitate the development of business processes and controls around leases to meet the new accounting and disclosure requirements upon adoptionrecognize revenue.

Revenue recognized in the first quarterthree months of 2019.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments," which addresses diversity2021 from amounts included in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statements of cash flows and addresses eight specific cash flow issues. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented, if practicable. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, and any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period. All amendments must be adopted in the same period. A key provision in the new guidance will impact the presentation of interests in certain trade accounts receivable conduits in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance in the first quarter of 2018.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory," which requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earningscontract liabilities at the beginning of the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted in the first interim period of an annual reporting period for which financial statements have not been issued. The Company will adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of 2018 and the adoptionamount of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash," which addresses the diversity in practice on the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and ending total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period. The new guidance will change the presentation of restricted cash in the consolidated statements of cash flows and will be applied retrospectively in the first quarter of 2018.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business," which narrows the existing definition of a business and provides a framework for evaluating whether a transaction should be accounted for as an acquisition (or disposal) ofcontract assets or a business. The guidance requires an entityreclassified to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set of transferred assets and activities (collectively the "set") is not a business. To be considered a business, the set would need to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs, as defined by the ASU. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of 2018 and will apply it to all applicable transactions after the adoption date.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." The new guidance eliminates the requirement to determine the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit to measure goodwill impairment. Under the amendments in the new guidance, goodwill impairment testing will be performed by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. The new standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for annual or interim goodwill impairment testing performed after January 1, 2017. The Company is planning to early adopt the new guidance for the annual goodwill impairment tests that will be performed in the fourth quarter of 2017.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, "Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial


Assets," which clarifies the scope of guidance on nonfinancial asset derecognition in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 610-20 and the accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The new guidance also conforms the derecognition guidance for nonfinancial assets with the model in the new revenue standard (ASU 2014-09). The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and an entity is required to apply the amendments at the same time that it applies the amendments in ASU 2014-09. The Company is planning to apply the new guidance with the implementation of the new revenue standard in the first quarter of 2018.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost," which amends the requirements related to the income statement presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost for employer sponsored defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Under the new guidance, an entity must disaggregate and present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item(s) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period, and only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization. Other components of net periodic benefit cost will be presented separately from the line item(s) that includes the service cost. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of an annual period in which the financial statements have not been issued. Entities must use a retrospective transition method to adopt the requirement for separate presentation of the income statement service cost and other components, and a prospective transition method to adopt the requirement to limit the capitalization of benefit cost to the service component. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities," which amends the hedge accounting recognition and presentation under ASC 815, with the objectives of improving the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities and simplifying the application of hedge accounting by preparers. The new standard expands the strategies eligible for hedge accounting, relaxes the timing requirements of hedge documentation and effectiveness assessments, and permits, in certain cases, the use of qualitative assessments on an ongoing basis to assess hedge effectiveness. The new guidance also requires new disclosures and presentation. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period after issuance of the ASU. Entities must adopt the new guidance by applying a modified retrospective approach to hedging relationships existing as of the adoption date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.


NOTE 3 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Merger of Equals of Dow and DuPont
At the effective time of the Merger, each share of common stock, par value $2.50 per share, of Dow (the "Dow Common Stock") (excluding any shares of Dow Common Stock that were held in treasury immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, which were automatically canceled and retired for no consideration) was converted into the right to receive one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of DowDuPont (the "DowDuPont Common Stock"). Upon completion of the Merger, (i) each share of common stock, par value $0.30 per share, of DuPont (the “DuPont Common Stock”) (excluding any shares of DuPont Common Stock that were held in treasury immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, which were automatically canceled and retired for no consideration) was converted into the right to receive 1.2820 fully paid and non-assessable shares of DowDuPont Common Stock, in addition to cash in lieu of any fractional shares of DowDuPont Common Stock, and (ii) each share of DuPont Preferred Stock $4.50 Series and DuPont Preferred Stock $3.50 Series (collectively, the “DuPont Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger remains issued and outstanding and was unaffected by the Merger.

As provided in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, Dow stock options and other equity awards were generally automatically converted into stock options and equity awards with respect to DowDuPont Common Stock and DuPont stock options and other equity awards, after giving effect to the exchange ratio, were converted into stock options and equity awards with respect to DowDuPont Common Stock, and otherwise generally on the same terms and conditions under the applicable plans and award agreements immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger. See Note 17 for additional information.

DowDuPont intends to pursue, subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals and approval by the board of directors of DowDuPont, the separation of the combined Company's agriculture, materials science and specialty products businesses through one or more tax-efficient transactions ("Intended Business Separations").



Preliminary Allocation of Purchase Price
Based on an evaluation of the provisions of ASC 805, "Business Combinations," Dow was determined to be the accounting acquirer in the Merger. DowDuPont has applied the acquisition method of accounting with respect to the assets and liabilities of DuPont, which have been measured at fair value as of the date of the Merger.

DuPont's assets and liabilities were measured at estimated fair values as of August 31, 2017, primarily using Level 3 inputs. Estimates of fair value represent management's best estimate and require a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties. Third-party valuation specialists were engaged to assist in the valuation of these assets and liabilities.

The total fair value of consideration transferred for the Merger was approximately $74,680 million. Total consideration is comprised of the equity value of the DowDuPont shares as of August 31, 2017, that were issued in exchange for DuPont shares, the cash value for fractional shares, and the portion of DuPont's share awards and share options earned as of August 31, 2017. Share awards and share options converted to DowDuPont equity instruments, but not vested, were $144 million as of August 31, 2017, which will be expensed over the remaining future vesting period.

The following table summarizes the fair value of consideration exchangedreceivables as a result of the Merger:

2.Represents the fair value of replacement awards issued for DuPont's equity awards outstanding immediately before the Merger and attributable to the service periods prior to the Merger. The previous DuPont equity awards were converted into the right to receive 1.2820 shares of DowDuPont Common Stock.

The acquisition method of accounting requires, among other things, that identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized on the balance sheet at fair value as of the acquisition date. In determining the fair value, DowDuPont utilized various forms of the income, cost and market approaches depending on the asset or liability being fair valued. The estimation of fair value required significant judgment related to future net cash flows (including net sales, cost of products sold, selling and marketing costs, and working capital/contributory asset charges), discount rates reflecting the risk inherent in each cash flow stream, competitive trends, market comparables and other factors. Inputstransaction consideration becoming unconditional were generally determined by taking into account historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions, and growth rates.



The table below presents the preliminary fair value that was allocated to DuPont's assets and liabilities based upon fair values as determined by DowDuPont. The valuation process to determine the fair values is not yet complete.insignificant. The Company will finalize the amounts recognized as it obtains the information necessary to complete the analysis, but no later than one year from the date of the Merger. Final determination of the fair values may result in further adjustments to the values presented in the following table:

The significant fair value adjustments included in the preliminary allocation of purchase price are discussed below.

Inventories
Acquired inventory is comprised of finished goods of $5,115 million, work in process of $3,066 million and raw materials of $705 million. Fair value of finished goods was calculated as the estimated selling price, adjusted for costs of the selling effort and a reasonable profit allowance relating to the selling effort. Fair value of work in process inventory was primarily calculated as the estimated selling price, adjusted for estimated costs to complete the manufacturing, estimated costs of the selling effort, as well as a reasonable profit margin on the remaining manufacturing and selling effort. The fair value of raw materials was determined to approximate the historical carrying value. For inventory accounted for under the FIFO method and average cost method, the preliminary fair value step up of inventories will be recognized in "Cost of sales" as the inventory is sold. The pre-tax amount recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, was $429 million, of which $360 million is reflected in "Cost of sales" within "Income from continuing operations before income taxes" and $69 million is reflected in "Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax" in the consolidated statements of income. For inventory accounted for under the LIFO method, the acquired inventory becomes the LIFO base layer inventory.

Net Property
Property, plant and equipment is comprised of land and land improvements of $967 million, buildings of $2,615 million, machinery and equipment of $7,540 million and construction in progress of $1,000 million. The preliminary estimated fair value was primarily determined using a market approach for land and certain types of equipment, and a replacement cost approach for property, plant and equipment. The market approach for certain types of equipment represents a sales comparison that measures the value of an asset through an analysis of sales and offerings of comparable assets. The replacement cost approach used for all other depreciable property, plant and equipment measures the value of an asset by estimating the cost to acquire or construct comparable assets and adjusts for age and condition of the asset.

Goodwill
The excess of the consideration for the Merger over the preliminary net fair value of assets and liabilities acquired was recorded as goodwill. The Merger resulted in the recognition of $45,501 million of goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill largely consists of expected cost synergies resulting from the Merger and the Intended Business Separations, the assembled workforce of DuPont and future technology and customers. Cost synergies will be achieved through a combination of workforce consolidations and savings from actions such as procurement synergies, harmonizing energy contracts at large sites, optimizing warehouse and logistics footprints, implementing materials and maintenance best practices and leveraging existing research and development knowledge management systems.

Other Intangible Assets
Other intangible assets primarily consist of acquired customer-related, developed technology, trademarks and tradenames and germplasm. The preliminary customer-related value was determined using the excess earnings method while the preliminary developed technology, trademarks and tradenames and germplasm values were primarily determined utilizing the relief from royalty method. Both the excess earnings and relief from royalty methods are forms of the income approach. Refer to Note 10 for further information on other intangible assets.

Deferred Income Tax Assets and Liabilities
The deferred income tax assets and liabilities include the expected future federal, state and foreign tax consequences associated with temporary differences between the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the respective tax bases. Tax rates utilized in calculating deferred income taxes generally represent the enacted statutory tax rates in the jurisdictions in which legal title of the underlying asset or liability resides. 

The preliminary fair value of “Deferred income tax assets” includes a $172 million adjustment to derecognize certain historical net operating losses that will not be fully realized as a result of the Merger. Included in the fair value adjustment related to “Deferred income tax liabilities” is a $546 million adjustment reflecting a change in determination as to the reinvestment strategy of certain foreign operations of DuPont.

Pension and Other Postretirement Liabilities
DowDuPont recognized a pretax net liability of $8,449 million, representing the unfunded portion of DuPont’s defined-benefit pension and other postretirement benefit ("OPEB") plans. Dow and DuPont did not merge their pension and OPEB plans as a result of the Merger. Refer to Note 16 for further information on pension and OPEB.


Other Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
DowDuPont utilized the carrying values net of allowances to value accounts and notes receivable and accounts payable as well as other current assets and liabilities as it was determined that carrying values represent the fair value of those items at the Merger date. 

The following table provides "Net sales" and "Loss from continuing operations before income taxes" of DuPont included in the Company's results since the August 31, 2017 Merger. Included in the results from DuPont was $40 million of "Restructuring andrecognize any asset related charges - net" (see Note 4 for additional information), $360 million that was recognized in "Cost of sales" as inventory was sold related to the fair value step-up of inventories and $71 million of "Integration and separation costs."

As a condition of the European Commission ("EC"), Chinese Ministry of Commerce, Brazilian Administrative Council for Economic Defense and U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") approval of the Merger, Dow and DuPont were required to divest the following:

Dow Merger Remedy - Divestiture of the Global Ethylene Acrylic Acid ("EAA") Copolymers and Ionomers Business
On February 2, 2017, as a condition of regulatory approval of the Merger, Dow announced it would divest its global EAA copolymers and ionomers business to SK Global Chemical Co., Ltd. The divestiture included production assets located in Freeport, Texas, and Tarragona, Spain, along with associated intellectual property and product trademarks. Under terms of the purchase agreement, SK Global Chemical Co., Ltd will honor certain customer and supplier contracts and other agreements. On September 1, 2017, the sale was completed for $296 million, net of working capital adjustments, costs to sell and other adjustments, with proceeds subject to customary post-closing adjustments.

In the third quarter of 2017, the Company recognized a pretax gain of $227 million on the sale, included in "Sundry income (expense) - net" in the consolidated statements of income and reflected in the Packaging & Specialty Plastics segment.

Dow Merger Remedy - Divestiture of a Portion of Dow AgroSciences' Corn Seed Business
On July 11, 2017, as a condition of regulatory approval of the Merger, Dow announced it had entered into a definitive agreement with CITIC Agri Fund to sell a select portion of Dow AgroSciences' corn seed business in Brazil, part of the Agriculture segment, for a purchase price of $1.1 billion. The agreement includes the sale of some seed processing plants and seed research centers, a copy of Dow AgroSciences' Brazilian corn germplasm bank, the MORGAN™ brand and a license for the use of the DOW SEMENTES™ brand for a certain period of time. The sale is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017.

The Company evaluated the divestiture of the EAA copolymers and ionomers business and determined it did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results and did not qualify as an individually significant component of the Company. The expected divestiture of a portion of Dow AgroSciences' corn seed business does not qualify as a component of the Company. As a result, these divestitures were not reported as discontinued operations.

DuPont Merger Remedy - Divested Ag Business
As a condition of the regulatory approval of the Merger, DuPont is required to divest certain assets related to its Crop Protection business and research and development ("R&D") organization, specifically DuPont’s Cereal Broadleaf Herbicides and Chewing Insecticides portfolios, including Rynaxypyr®, Cyazypyr® and Indoxacarb as well as the Crop Protection R&D pipeline and organization, excluding seed treatment, nematicides, and late-stage R&D programs. On March 31, 2017, DuPont entered into a definitive agreement (the "FMC Transaction Agreement") with FMC Corporation ("FMC"). Under the FMC Transaction Agreement, FMC will acquire the Crop Protection business and R&D assets that DuPont is required to divest in order to obtain


EC approval of the Merger as described above (the "Divested Ag Business"), and DuPont has agreed to acquire certain assets relating to FMC’s Health and Nutrition segment, excluding its Omega-3 products, (the "Acquired H&N Business") (collectively, the "FMC Transactions"). The assets and liabilities related to the Divested Ag Business at September 30, 2017 are classified as held for sale and therefore are reported as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20, "Presentation of Financial Statements, Discontinued Operations." Earnings of the Divested Ag Business are included in “Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax" in the consolidated statements of income.

On November 1, 2017, DuPont completed the FMC Transactions through the disposition of the Divested Ag Business and the acquisition of the Acquired H&N Business. The preliminary fair value, as determined by DuPont, of the Acquired H&N Business is $1,900 million. The FMC Transactions include cash consideration payment to DuPont of approximately $1,200 million, which reflects the difference in value between the Divested Ag Business and the Acquired H&N Business, subject to adjustments for inventory of the Divested Ag Business and net working capital of the Acquired H&N Business.

The Company will apply the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, "Business Combinations," to the Acquired H&N Business which requires the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized on the balance sheet at their fair values as of the acquisition date. As a result of the very recent closing of the FMC Transactions and the Company's limited access to the Acquired H&N Business information prior to the closing, the initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete at this time. As a result, the Company is unable to provide amounts recognized as of the acquisition date for major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Unaudited Supplemental Pro Forma Information
The DowDuPont unaudited pro forma results presented below were prepared pursuant to the requirements of ASC 805, "Business Combinations" and give effect to the Merger as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2016. The pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not necessarily represent what the revenue or results of operations would have been had the Merger been completed on January 1, 2016. In addition, these results are not intended to be a projection of future operating results and do not reflect synergies that might be achieved from DowDuPont.

The pro forma results include adjustments for the preliminary purchase accounting impact (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization associated with the acquired tangible and intangible assets, amortization of the fair value adjustment to investment in nonconsolidated affiliates, and reduction of interest expense related to the fair value adjustment to long-term debt, along with the related tax impacts), the alignment of accounting policies, and the elimination of transactions between Dow and DuPont. Other adjustments are reflected in the pro forma results as follows:

From January 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017, Dow and DuPont have collectively incurred $441 million after tax ($536 million pre tax) of costs to prepare for and close the Merger. These Merger costs have been reflected within the results of operations in the pro forma results presented below as if they were incurred on January 1, 2016. The costs incurred related to integration and to prepare for the Intended Business Separations are reflected in the pro forma results in the period in which they were incurred.

The Company incurred an after tax charge of $253 million ($302 million pre tax) in the third quarter of 2017 related to the fair value step-up of inventories acquired and sold, excluding the acquired inventory related to DuPont's Seed business. The 2017 pro forma results were adjusted to exclude this charge. The pro forma results for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were adjusted to include this charge, as well as estimated charges of $769 million after tax ($868 million pre tax) related to the remaining fair value step-up of inventories to be sold, excluding acquired inventory related to DuPont's Seed business.

The pro forma results for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were adjusted to include charges related to change-in-control provisions within a U.S. non-qualified pension plan for Dow and within other certain employee agreements as if they were incurred on January 1, 2016. The majority of these charges represent a pension settlement charge of


approximately $300 million after tax ($450 million pre tax) expected to be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017. See Note 16 for further information.

The 2017 pro forma results were adjusted to exclude a $170 million after tax charge incurred in September 2017 related to the impact of change in tax attributes. The pro forma results for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, were adjusted to include this charge as if it were incurred on January 1, 2016.

The unaudited pro forma results for all periods presented below exclude the results of operations of the DuPont Divested Ag Business as this divestiture is reflected as discontinued operations. The Dow global EAA copolymers and ionomers business, through August 31, 2017, and Dow Agrosciences’ corn seed business divestitures are included in the results from continuing operations in the unaudited pro forma results presented below, for all periods presented, as these divestitures do not qualify for discontinued operations.

Integration and Separation Costs
"Integration and separation costs" have been and are expected to be significant. The Company incurred "Integration and separation costs" for the three months ended September 30, 2017 of $354 million ($127 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016) and $599 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 ($228 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016). These costs to date primarily have consisted of financial advisory, information technology, legal, accounting, consulting, and other professional advisory fees associated with the preparation and execution of activities related to the Merger, post-merger integration and separation, and ownership restructure of Dow Corning. While the Company has assumed that a certain level of expenses would be incurred, there are many factors that could affect the total amount or the timing of these expenses, and many of the expenses that will be incurred are, by their nature, difficult to estimate.

Ownership Restructure of Dow Corning
On June 1, 2016, Dow announced the closing of the transaction with Corning Incorporated ("Corning"), Dow Corning and HS Upstate Inc., (“Splitco”), pursuant to which Corning exchanged with Dow Corning its 50 percent equity interest in Dow Corning for 100 percent of the stock of Splitco which held Corning's historical proportional interest in the Hemlock Semiconductor Group ("HSC Group") and approximately $4.8 billion in cash (the “DCC Transaction”). As a result of the DCC Transaction, Dow Corning, previously a 50:50 joint venture between Dow and Corning, became a wholly owned subsidiary of Dow.

At June 1, 2016, Dow's equity interest in Dow Corning, excluding the HSC Group, was $1,968 million. This equity interest was remeasured to fair value. As a result, Dow recognized a non-taxable gain of $2,445 million in the second quarter of 2016, net of closing costs and other comprehensive loss related to Dow's interest in Dow Corning. The gain was included in "Sundry income (expense) - net" and related to Performance Materials & Coatings ($1,617 million), Electronics & Imaging ($512 million) and Transportation & Advanced Polymers ($316 million). Dow recognized a tax benefit of $141 million on the DCC Transaction in the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to the reassessment of a previously recognized deferred tax liability on the basis difference in Dow’s investment in Dow Corning.



Dow utilized an income approach with a discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of Dow Corning. The valuation process resulted in a fair value of $9,636 million. The following table summarizes the fair values of Dow Corning's assets and liabilities, excluding the HSC Group, which are now fully consolidated by Dow. The valuation process was complete at December 31, 2016.

The DCC Transaction resulted in the recognition of $3,229 million of goodwill which is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill largely consists of expected synergies resulting from the DCC Transaction. Cost synergies will be achieved through a combination of workforce consolidation and savings from actions such as harmonizing energy contracts at large sites, optimizing warehouse and logistics footprints, implementing materials and maintenance best practices, combining information technology service structures and leveraging existing research and development knowledge management systems.

The fair value of "Accounts and notes receivable - Trade" acquired was $647 million, with gross amounts receivable of $654 million. The fair value step-up in "Inventories" acquired was an increase of $317 million, which was expensed to "Cost of sales" over a three-month period beginning on June 1, 2016, and reflectednet" in the Performance Materials & Coatings ($213 million), Electronics & Imaging ($69 million) and Transportation & Advanced Polymers ($35 million) segments.

The operating loss carryforwards expire either in years beyond 2020 or have an indefinite carryforward period.interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.


The Company evaluated the disclosure requirements under ASC 805, "Business Combinations," and determined the DCC Transaction was not considered a material business combination for purposes of disclosing the revenue and earnings of Dow Corning since the date of the ownership restructure as well as supplemental pro forma information.



Beginning in June 2016, the results of Dow Corning, excluding the HSC Group, are fully consolidated in Dow’s consolidated statements of income. Prior to June 2016, Dow’s 50 percent share of Dow Corning’s results of operations was reported in “Equity in earnings of nonconsolidated affiliates” in the consolidated statements of income. The results of the HSC Group continue to be treated as an equity method investment and are reported as “Equity in earnings of nonconsolidated affiliates” in the consolidated statements of income.


NOTE 4 - RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET RELATED CHARGES - NET

Subsequent Event
On November 1, 2017, DowDuPont's Boardcontinuing operations of Directors (the “Board”) approved restructuring actions under the Synergy Program. The Company expects to record total pretax restructuring chargesDuPont of about $2 billion, comprised of approximately $875$346 million to $975 million of severance and related benefits costs; $450 million to $800 million of asset related charges, and $400 million to $450 million of costs related to contract terminations. Current estimated total pretax restructuring charges include the $180 million recorded in the third quarter of 2017, comprised of severance and related benefit costs. The Company expects to record pretax restructuring charges of approximately $1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2017, with the remaining restructuring charges to be incurred by the end of 2019. The Synergy Program includes certain asset actions, including strategic decisions regarding the cellulosic biofuel business reflected in the preliminary fair value measurement of DuPont’s assets as of the merger date. Current estimated total pretax restructuring charges could be impacted by future adjustments to the preliminary fair value of DuPont’s assets.

The Company expects to incur additional costs in the future related to its restructuring activities, as the Company continually looks for ways to enhance the efficiency and cost effectiveness of its operations, and to ensure competitiveness across its businesses and geographic areas. Future costs are expected to include demolition costs related to closed facilities and restructuring plan implementation costs; these costs will be recognized as incurred. The Company also expects to incur additional employee-related costs, including involuntary termination benefits, related to its other optimization activities. These costs cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

See Note 2 for further discussion of the Company's divestiture of the N&B business.




NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES
As a result of the Merger and subsequent change in ownership, certain net operating loss carryforwards available for Dow's consolidated German tax group were derecognized. In addition, the sale of stock between two Dow consolidated subsidiaries in 2014 created a gain that was initially deferred for tax purposes. This deferred gain became taxable as a result of activities executed in anticipation of the Intended Business Separations. As a result, in the third quarter of 2017, the Company decreased “Deferred income tax assets” in the consolidated balance sheets and recorded a charge to “Provision for income taxes on continuing operations” in the consolidated statements of income of $267 million.

The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions of the Company, including positions impacting only the timing of tax benefits, was $504 million at September 30, 2017 and $231 million at December 31, 2016. Gross uncertain tax benefits increased substantially as a result of the Merger, due to inclusion of DuPont's historical uncertain tax positions. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate was $377 million at September 30, 2017 and $223 million at December 31, 2016.

Each year the Company files hundreds of tax returns in the various national, state and local income taxing jurisdictions in which it operates. These tax returns are subject to examination and possible challenge by the tax authorities. Positions challenged by the tax authorities may be settled or appealed by the Company. As a result, there is an uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the Company’s financial statements in accordance with accounting for income taxes and accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. ItThe ultimate resolution of such uncertainties is reasonably possible that changesnot expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations.

The Company's effective tax rate fluctuates based on, among other factors, where income is earned and the level of income relative to tax attributes. The effective tax rate on continuing operations for the first quarter of 2021 was 5.6 percent, compared with an effective tax rate of (20.6) percent for the first quarter of 2020. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2021 was principally the result of a $59 million tax benefit related to the Company's global unrecognizedstep-up in tax benefitsbasis in the goodwill of the Company’s European regional headquarters legal entity. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 was principally the result of the non-tax-deductible goodwill impairment charge impacting Corporate. See Note 12 for more information regarding the goodwill impairment charge.

Certain internal distributions and reorganizations that occurred in preparation for the N&B Transaction qualified as tax-free transactions under the applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code. If the aforementioned transactions were to fail to qualify for non-recognition treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then the Company could be significant; however, duesubject to significant tax liability. In connection with the closing of the N&B Transaction, DuPont, N&B and IFF entered into the N&B Tax Matters Agreement. Under the N&B Tax Matters Agreement, the Company would generally be allocated such liability and not be indemnified, unless certain non-qualifying actions are undertaken by N&B or IFF. To the extent that the Company is responsible for any such liability, there could be a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in future reporting periods.

For periods between the DWDP Merger and the DWDP Distributions, DuPont's consolidated federal income tax group and consolidated tax return included the Dow and Corteva entities. Generally, the consolidated tax liability of the DuPont U.S. tax group for each year was apportioned among the members of the consolidated group in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated DWDP Tax Matters Agreement.

NOTE 12 - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2021 were as follows:

The Company changedtests goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter as of October 1, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that fair value is below carrying value. As a result of the related acquisition method of accounting in connection with the DWDP Merger, EID’s assets and liabilities were measured at fair value resulting in increases to the Company’s goodwill and other intangible assets. The fair value valuation increased the risk that declines in financial projections, including changes to key assumptions, could have a material, negative impact on the fair value of the Company’s reporting units and assets, and therefore could result in an impairment.

The 2021 Segment Realignment served as a triggering event requiring the Company to perform an impairment analysis related to goodwill carried by its reportablereporting units as of February 1, 2021, prior to the realignment. As part of the 2021 Segment Realignment, the Company assessed and re-defined certain reporting units effective February 1, 2021, including reallocation of goodwill on a relative fair value basis, as applicable, to new reporting units identified. Goodwill impairment analyses were then performed for the new reporting units identified in the Electronics & Industrial and Mobility & Materials segments impacted by the 2021 Segment Realignment. No impairments were identified as a result of the Mergeranalyses described above.

In the first quarter of 2020, expectations of proceeds related to reflect the manner in which the Company's chief operating decision maker assesses performancecertain potential divestitures within Corporate gave rise to fair value indicators and, allocates resources.  Effective with the Merger,thus, served as triggering events requiring the Company also updated its reporting units to align with the level at which discrete financial information is available for review by management.  In connection with the Merger, the Company recorded $45,501 million of goodwill, representing the preliminary fair value as of effective date of the Merger. Goodwill resulting from the Merger was assignedperform impairment analyses related to reporting units based on the acquisition method of accounting and is considered preliminary. For the remaining goodwill balance, a relative fair value method was used to reallocate goodwill for reporting units the composition of which had changed.  The following table reflects the carrying amounts of goodwill by reportable segment.  Prior year data has been updated to conform to the current year presentation.

goodwill. As part of its 2016 annual goodwill impairment testing, Dow performed additional sensitivitythe analysis, which indicatedthe Company determined that the fair value of the Dow Coatingits Photovoltaic and Advanced Materials (“PVAM”) reporting unit (now part of Coatings & Performance Monomers) did not significantly exceedwas below its carrying amount. Dow has continuedcarry value resulting in an impairment charge to monitor the performancegoodwill. Valuations of the Coatings & Performance MonomersPVAM reporting unit under a combination of the market approach and income approach reflect softening conditions in photovoltaics markets as benchmarked against its long-term financial plan,compared to prior estimates. In connection with this analysis, the Company recorded a pre-tax, non-cash impairment charge of $533 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 within Corporate.

The Company's analyses above used the discounted cash flow model (a form of the income approach) utilizing Level 3 unobservable inputs. The Company’s significant assumptions in these analyses include, but are not limited to, future cash flow projections, the weighted average cost of capital, the terminal growth rate, and evaluates industrytax rates. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows are based on current regulatory and company-specific circumstances which affect the financialeconomic climates, recent operating results, of this reporting unit, including customer consolidation,and planned business strategies. These estimates could be negatively affected by changes in demand growth in certain end-markets, fluctuations in sales growth in emerging geographiesfederal, state, or local regulations or economic downturns. Future cash flow estimates are, by their nature, subjective and actual results may differ materially from the Company’s estimates. If the Company’s ongoing estimates of new product launches. At September 30, 2017,future cash flows are not met, the Company concluded that no events or changesmay have to record additional impairment charges in circumstances have occurred which would indicate thatfuture periods. As referenced, the fair valueCompany also uses a form of the Coatings & Performance Monomers reporting unit has more likely than not been reduced below its carrying amount.  

The long-term financial plan for the Coatings & Performance Monomers reporting unit, which underlies the above conclusion, contains numerous assumptions including, but not limited to: expected market growth rates; success of sales and marketing efforts; commercialization of innovation programs; benefit of cost reduction programs; availability of capital and expense resources to execute growth initiatives; impact of competitor actions; industry supply and demand balances; and, macroeconomic factorsapproach. As such, as foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. If the Coatings & Performance Monomers reporting unit does not achieve the financial performance that the Company expects, it is reasonably possible that an impairmentbelieves the current assumptions and estimates utilized are both reasonable and appropriate.

As part of the 2021 Segment Realignment, the Company reallocated its intangible assets with indefinite lives to align with the new segment structure. This served as a triggering event requiring the Company to perform an impairment analysis related to intangible assets with indefinite lives carried by its existing Electronics & Imaging and Transportation & Industrial segments as of February 1, 2021, prior to the realignment. Subsequent to the realignment the Company realigned intangible assets with indefinite lives as applicable to align the intangible assets with indefinite lives with the new segment structure. Impairment analyses were then performed for the intangible assets with indefinite lives carried by the Electronics & Industrial and Mobility & Materials segments. No impairments were identified as a result of the analyses described above.

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges related to definite-lived intangible assets impacting Corporate. See Note 4 for further discussion.

NOTE 1113 - TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
Dow sells trade accounts receivable of select North American entities and qualifying trade accounts receivable of select European entities on a revolving basis to certain multi-seller commercial paper conduit entities ("conduits"). The proceeds received are comprised of cash and interests in specified assets of the conduits (the receivables sold by Dow) that entitle Dow to the residual cash flows of such specified assets in the conduits after the commercial paper has been repaid. Neither the conduits nor the investors in those entities have recourse to other assets of Dow in the event of nonpayment by the debtors.

Dow's interests in the conduits are carried at fair value and included in “Accounts and notes receivable - Other” in the consolidated balance sheets. Fair value of the interests is determined by calculating the expected amount of cash to be received and is based on unobservable inputs (a Level 3 measurement). The key input in the valuation is the percentage of anticipated credit losses in the portfolio of receivables sold that have not yet been collected. Given the short-term nature of the underlying receivables, discount rates and prepayments are not factors in determining the fair value of the interests.

The following table summarizes the carrying value of interests held, which represents Dow's maximum exposure to loss related to the receivables sold, and the percentage of anticipated credit losses related to the trade accounts receivable sold. Also provided is the sensitivity of the fair value of the interests held to hypothetical adverse changes in the anticipated credit losses; amounts shown below are the corresponding hypothetical decreases in the carrying value of interests.

In the first quarter of 2017, the Term Loan Facility was amended to extend the date on which the commitment to lend terminates. As a result, DuPont may make up to seven term loan borrowings through July 27, 2018; amounts repaid or prepaid are not available for subsequent borrowings. The Term Loan Facility matures in March 2019 at which time all outstanding borrowings, including accrued but


unpaid interest, become immediately due and payable. At September 30, 2017, DuPont had borrowed $1.0 billion and had unused commitments of $3.5 billion under the Term Loan Facility. DuPont may elect to borrow under the Term Loan Facility to meet its short-term liquidity needs.

In October 2017, under the Term Loan Facility, DuPont borrowed $500 million at the London interbank offered rate ("LIBOR"), primarily to pay down commercial paper.

Debt Covenants and Default Provisions
The Subsidiaries outstanding long-term debt obligations have been issued primarily under indentures which contain, among other provisions, certain customary restrictive covenants with which each of the Subsidiaries must comply while the underlying notes are outstanding. Failure of either Dow or DuPont to comply with any of its respective covenants, could result in a default under the applicable indenture and allow the note holders to accelerate the due date of the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the underlying notes.

Dow Debt Covenants and Default Provisions
Dow's indenture covenants include obligations to not allow liens on principal U.S. manufacturing facilities, enter into sale and lease-back transactions with respect to principal U.S. manufacturing facilities, merge or consolidate with any other corporation, or sell, lease or convey, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of Dow's assets. The outstanding debt also contains customary default provisions.

Dow’s primary, private credit agreements also contain certain customary restrictive covenant and default provisions in addition to the covenants set forth above with respect to Dow's debt. Significant other restrictive covenants and default provisions related to these agreements include:

(a)the obligation to maintain the ratio of Dow’s consolidated indebtedness to consolidated capitalization at no greater than 0.65 to 1.00 at any time the aggregate outstanding amount of loans under the Five Year Competitive Advance and Revolving Credit Facility Agreement dated March 24, 2015 equals or exceeds $500 million,

(b)a default if Dow or an applicable subsidiary fails to make any payment, including principal, premium or interest, under the applicable agreement on other indebtedness of, or guaranteed by, Dow or such applicable subsidiary in an aggregate amount of $100 million or more when due, or any other default or other event under the applicable agreement with respect to such indebtedness occurs which permits or results in the acceleration of $400 million or more in the aggregate of principal, and

(c)a default if Dow or any applicable subsidiary fails to discharge or stay within 60 days after the entry of a final judgment against Dow or such applicable subsidiary of more than $400 million.

Failure of Dow to comply with any of the covenants or default provisions could result in a default under the applicable credit agreement which would allow the lenders to not fund future loan requests and to accelerate the due date of the outstanding principal and accrued interest on any outstanding Dow indebtedness.

DuPont Debt Covenants and Default Provisions
DuPont'sCompany's indenture covenants include customary limitations on liens, sale and leaseback transactions, and mergers and consolidations, affecting manufacturing plants, mineral producing properties or research facilities located in the U.S. and the consolidated subsidiaries owning such plants, properties and facilities subject to certain limitations. The outstanding long-term debt2018 Senior Notes and May 2020 Notes also containscontain customary default provisions. In addition, in May 2017, DuPont issued $1,250 million of 2.20 percent notes


due 2020 and $750 million of floating rate notes due 2020 that must be redeemed upon the announcement of the record date for the separation of DuPont's agriculture line or specialty products line of business or the entry into an agreement to sell all or substantially all of the assets of either line of business to a third party.

The DuPont Term LoanFive-Year Revolving Credit Facility and the amended DuPont2020 $1B Revolving Credit Facility contain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default that are typical for companies with similar credit ratings and generally consistent with DuPont’s indenture covenants. The DuPont Term Loan Facility and the amended DuPont Revolving Credit Facility also contain a financial covenant requiring that the ratio of total indebtednessTotal Indebtedness to total capitalizationTotal Capitalization for DuPontthe Company and its consolidated subsidiaries not exceed 0.66670.60. At March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with this financial covenant. There were no material changes to 1.00.the debt covenants and default provisions at March 31, 2021.

NOTE 1314 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Litigation and Environmental Matters
Asbestos-Related MattersAs of Union Carbide CorporationMarch 31, 2021, the Company has liabilities of $18 million associated with litigation matters including non-PFAS liabilities retained, assumed or indemnified under the DWDP Separation and Distribution Agreement discussed below.
Introduction
Union Carbide is andIn addition, DuPont has been involved in a large numberliabilities of asbestos-related suits filed primarily in state courts during the past four decades. These suits principally allege personal injury resulting from exposure to asbestos-containing products and frequently seek both actual and punitive damages. The alleged claims primarily relate to products that Union Carbide sold in the past, alleged exposure to asbestos-containing products located on Union Carbide’s premises, and Union Carbide’s responsibility for asbestos suits filed against a former Union Carbide subsidiary, Amchem Products, Inc. (“Amchem”). In many cases, plaintiffs are unable to demonstrate that they have suffered any compensable loss as a result of such exposure, or that injuries incurred in fact resulted from exposure to Union Carbide’s products.

Union Carbide expects more asbestos-related suits to be filed against Union Carbide and Amchem in the future, and will aggressively defend or reasonably resolve, as appropriate, both pending and future claims.

Estimating the Asbestos-Related Liability
Since 2003, Union Carbide has engaged Ankura Consulting Group, LLC ("Ankura"), a third party actuarial specialist, to review Union Carbide's historical asbestos-related claim and resolution activity in order to assist Union Carbide's management in estimating the asbestos-related liability. Each year, Ankura has reviewed the claim and resolution activity to determine the appropriateness of updating the most recent Ankura study. Historically, every other year beginning in October, Ankura has completed a full review and formal update$11 million related to the most recent Ankura study.

Based on the December 2016 Ankura study, and Union Carbide's own reviewremaining settlement of the data, Union Carbide's total asbestos-related liability through the terminal yearOhio MDL, discussed below, and of 2049 was $1,490$62 million at December 31, 2016, and included in “Accrued and other current liabilities” and “Asbestos-related liabilities - noncurrent” in the consolidated balance sheets.

Each quarter, Union Carbide reviews claims filed, settled and dismissed, as well as average settlement and resolution costs by disease category. Union Carbide also considers additional quantitative and qualitative factors such as the nature of pending claims, trial experience of Union Carbide and other asbestos defendants, current spending for defense and processing costs, significant appellate rulings and legislative developments, trends in the tort system, and their respective effects on expected future resolution costs. Union Carbide's management considers all these factors in conjunctionconnection with the most recent Ankura study and determines


whether a change in the estimate is warranted. Based on Union Carbide's review of 2017 activity, it was determined that no adjustment to the accrual was required at September 30, 2017.

Union Carbide's asbestos related liability for pending and future claims and defense and processing costs was $1,398 million at September 30, 2017. Approximately 15 percent of the recorded liability related to pending claims and approximately 85 percentcost sharing arrangement related to future claims.

Summary
eligible PFAS costs, discussed below, between The Company's management believes the amounts recorded by Union Carbide for the asbestos-related liability (including defense and processing costs) reflect reasonable and probable estimates of the liability based upon current, known facts. However, future events, such as the number of new claims to be filed and/or received each yearChemours Company (“Chemours”), Corteva, EID and the average cost of defending and disposing of each such claim, as well as the numerous uncertainties surrounding asbestos litigation in the United States over a significant period of time, could cause the actual costs for Union Carbide to be higher or lower than those projected or those recorded. Any such events could result in an increase or decrease in the recorded liability.

Because of the uncertainties described above, Union Carbide cannot estimate the full range of the cost of resolving pending and future asbestos-related claims facing Union Carbide and Amchem. As a result,Company. Management believes that it is reasonably possible the Company could incur eligible PFAS costs in excess of the amounts accrued, but any such losses are not estimable at this time due to various reasons, including, among others, that the underlying matters are in their early stages and have significant factual issues to be resolved. Eligible PFAS costs are included in PFAS Stray Liabilities discussed below.

Discontinued and/or Divested Operations and Businesses ("DDOB") Liabilities of EID
Under the DWDP Separation and Distribution Agreement and the Letter Agreement between Corteva and DuPont, DDOB liabilities of EID primarily related to EID’s agriculture business were allocated to or retained by Corteva and those primarily related to EID’s specialty products business were allocated to or retained by the Company. EID DDOB liabilities not primarily related to EID’s agriculture business or specialty products business (“Stray Liabilities”), are allocated as follows:

•Generally, indemnifiable losses as defined in the DWDP Separation and Distribution Agreement, (“Indemnifiable Losses”) for Stray Liabilities, to the extent they do not arise out of actions related to or resulting from the development, testing, manufacture or sale of PFAS, defined below, (“Non-PFAS Stray Liabilities”) that are known as of April 1, 2019 are borne by Corteva up to a specified amount set forth in the schedules to the Separation and Distribution Agreement and/or Letter Agreement. Non-PFAS Stray Liabilities in excess of such specified amounts and any Non-PFAS Stray Liabilities not listed in the schedules to the DWDP Separation and Distribution Agreement or Letter Agreement are borne by Corteva and/or DuPont up to separate, aggregate thresholds of $200 million each to the extent Corteva or DuPont, as applicable, incurs an additional costIndemnifiable Loss. Once Corteva’s or DuPont’s $200 million threshold is met, the other would generally bear all Non-PFAS Stray Liabilities until meeting its $200 million threshold. After the respective $200 million thresholds are met, DuPont will bear 71 percent of disposingsuch losses and Corteva will bear 29 percent of Union Carbide's asbestos-related claims, including futuresuch losses. While DuPont believes it is probable that it will incur a liability related to Non-PFAS Stray Liabilities discussed below, such liability is not reasonably estimable at March 31, 2021. Therefore, at March 31, 2021, DuPont has not recorded an accrual related to Non-PFAS Liabilities.
•Generally, Corteva and the Company will each bear 50 percent of the first $300 million (up to $150 million each) for Indemnifiable Losses arising out of actions to the extent related to or resulting from the development, testing, manufacture or sale of per- or polyfluoroalkyl substances, which include perfluorooctanoic acids and its ammonium salts (“PFOA”) (all such substances, “PFAS” and such Stray Liabilities referred to as “PFAS Stray Liabilities”), unless either Corteva or DuPont has met its $200 million threshold described above. In that event, the other company would bear all PFAS Stray Liabilities until that company meets its $200 million threshold, at which point DuPont will bear 71 percent of such losses and Corteva will bear 29 percent of such losses. Indemnifiable Losses to the extent related to PFAS Stray Liabilities in excess of $300 million generally will be borne 71 percent by the Company and 29 percent by Corteva.
•Indemnifiable Losses incurred by the companies in relation to PFAS Stray Liabilities up to $300 million (e.g., up to $150 million each) will be applied to each company’s respective $200 million threshold.

Indemnifiable Losses, as defined in the DWDP Separation and Distribution Agreement, include, among other things, attorneys’, accountants’, consultants’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses incurred in the investigation or defense of Stray Liabilities.

DuPont expects to continue to incur directly and processingas Indemnifiable Losses and/or qualified spend (as defined below), costs and expenses related to litigation defense, such as attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs, in connection with the Stray Liabilities described below. In accordance with its accounting policy for litigation matters, the Company will expense such litigation defense costs as incurred which could have a material impact onbe significant to the Company's results of operations andCompany’s financial condition and/or cash flows for a particular periodin the period.

Even when the Company believes the probability of loss or of an adverse unappealable final judgment is remote, the Company may consider settlement of these matters, and onmay enter into settlement agreements, if it believes settlement is in the consolidated financial position.best interest of the Company, including avoidance of future distraction and litigation defense cost, and its shareholders.


Urethane Matters

Class Action Lawsuit
PFAS Stray Liabilities: Future Eligible PFAS Costs
On February 16, 2006, Dow, among others, received a subpoena fromJuly 1, 2015, EID completed the U.S. Departmentseparation of Justice ("DOJ") as partEID’s Performance Chemicals segment through the spin-off of a previously announced antitrust investigationChemours to holders of manufacturers of polyurethane chemicals, including methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, toluene diisocyanate, polyether polyols and system house products. Dow cooperated with the DOJ and, following an extensive investigation, on December 10, 2007, Dow received notice from the DOJ that it had closed its investigation of potential antitrust violations involving these products without indictments or pleas.

In 2005, Dow, among others, was named as a defendant in multiple civil class action lawsuits alleging a conspiracy to fix the price of various urethane chemical products, namely the products that were the subject of the above described DOJ antitrust investigation. On July 29, 2008, a Kansas City federal district courtEID common stock (the "district court") certified a class of purchasers of the products for the six-year period from 1999 through 2004 ("plaintiff class"“Chemours Separation”). In connection with the spin-off, EID and Chemours entered into a Separation Agreement. In 2017, EID and Chemours amended the Chemours Separation Agreement (as amended, the “Chemours Separation Agreement”) to provide for a limited sharing of potential future liabilities related to alleged historical releases of PFOA for a five-year period that began on July 6, 2017.

On January 2013,22, 2021, the class action lawsuit wentCompany, Corteva, EID and Chemours entered into a binding Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”), pursuant to trial with Dow aswhich the sole remaining defendant,parties have agreed to release certain claims that had been raised by Chemours including any claims arising out of or resulting from the process and manner in which EID structured or conducted the Chemours Separation, and any other defendants having previously settled. On February 20, 2013,claims that challenge the federal jury returned a damages verdictChemours Separation or the assumption of approximately $400 million against Dow, which ultimately was trebled under applicable antitrust laws, less offsets from other settling defendants, resulting in a judgment entered in July 2013Chemours Liabilities (as defined in the Chemours Separation Agreement) by Chemours and the allocation thereof, subject in each case to certain exceptions set forth in the MOU. In connection with the MOU, the confidential arbitration process regarding certain claims by Chemours was terminated in February 2021. The parties have further agreed not to bring any future, additional claims regarding the Chemours Separation Agreement or the MOU outside of arbitration.

Pursuant to the MOU, the parties have agreed to share certain costs associated with potential future liabilities related to alleged historical releases of certain PFAS, including PFOA, out of pre-July 1, 2015 conduct (“eligible PFAS costs”) until the earlier to occur of (i) December 31, 2040, (ii) the day on which the aggregate amount of $1.06 billion. Dow appealed this judgmentqualified spend (as defined in the MOU) is equal to $4 billion or (iii) a termination in accordance with the terms of the MOU. This sharing arrangement replaces the cost sharing arrangement between EID and Chemours established pursuant to the U.S. Tenth Circuit CourtChemours Separation Agreement.

The parties have agreed that, during the term of Appeals ("Tenth Circuit" or "Courtthis sharing arrangement, Chemours will bear 50 percent of Appeals"),any qualified spend and on September 29, 2014, the CourtCompany and Corteva shall bear 50 percent of Appeals issued an opinion affirming the district court judgment.

On March 9, 2015, Dow filed a petition for writany qualified spend. The Company’s and Corteva’s share of certiorari ("Writ Petition") with the U.S. Supreme Court, seeking judicial review and requesting that it correct fundamental errorsqualified spend shall not exceed $2 billion in the Circuit Court opinion. On June 8, 2015,aggregate. After the Supreme Court granted a petition for a writterm of certiorarithis arrangement, Chemours’ indemnification obligations under the Chemours Separation Agreement would continue unchanged, subject in anothereach case Tyson Foods, Inc. v. Bouaphakeo, PEG, et al., ("Tyson Foods") (Supreme Court No. 14-1146), which presented an issue core to certain exceptions set forth in the questions presented in Dow's Writ Petition: whether class-wide damages can be determined by simply applying the average injury observed in a sample. Dow was advised that its Writ Petition was being held pending the Supreme Court's consideration of the merits in Tyson Foods.MOU.


In order to support and manage any potential future eligible PFAS costs, the first quarterparties have also agreed to establish an escrow account. The MOU provides that (1) no later than each of 2016, Dow changed its risk assessment on this matter as a resultSeptember 30, 2021 and September 30, 2022, Chemours shall deposit $100 million into an escrow account and DuPont and Corteva shall together deposit $100 million in the aggregate into an escrow account and (2) no later than September 30 of growing political uncertainties due to events withineach subsequent year through and including 2028, Chemours shall deposit $50 million into an escrow account and DuPont and Corteva shall together deposit $50 million in the Supreme Court, including Justice Scalia's death, and the increased likelihood for unfavorable outcomes for businesses involved in class action lawsuits. On February 26, 2016, Dow announced a proposed settlement under which it would pay the plaintiff class $835 million, which included damages, class attorney fees and post-judgment interest. On May 11, 2016, Dow moved the $835 million settlement amountaggregate into an escrow account. On July 29, 2016,Subject to the U.S. District Court forterms and conditions set forth in the District of Kansas granted final approvalMOU, each party may be permitted to defer funding in any year (excluding 2021). Additionally, if on December 31, 2028, the balance of the settlementescrow account (including interest) is less than $700 million, Chemours will make 50 percent of the deposits and DuPont and Corteva together will make 50 percent of the funds were released fromdeposits necessary to restore the balance of the escrow on August 30, 2016. The settlement resolves the $1.06 billion judgment and any subsequent claim for attorneys' fees, costs and post-judgment interest against Dow. As a result,account to $700 million. Such payments will be made in the first quarter of 2016, Dow recorded a loss of $835 million, included in "Sundry income (expense) - net" in the consolidated statements of income and reflected in the Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure segment. Dow continues to believe that it was not part of any conspiracy and the judgment was fundamentally flawed as a matter of class action law.

Opt-Out Cases
Shortly after the July 2008 class certification ruling, a series of "opt-out" cases were filed by a number of large volume purchasers who elected not to be class members in the district court case. These opt-out cases were substantively identical to the class action


lawsuit, but expanded the period of time to include 1994 through 1998. A consolidated jury trial of the opt-out cases beganconsecutive annual equal installments commencing on March 8, 2016. Prior to a jury verdict, on April 5, 2016, Dow entered into a binding settlement for the opt-out cases under which Dow would pay the named plaintiffs $400 million, inclusive of damages and attorney fees. Payment of this settlement occurred on May 4, 2016. Dow changed its risk assessment on this matter as a result of the class settlement and the uncertainty of a jury trial outcome along with the automatic trebling of an adverse verdict. As a result, Dow recorded a loss of $400 million in the first quarter of 2016, included in "Sundry income (expense) - net" in the consolidated statements of income and reflected in the Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure segment. As with the class action case, Dow continues to deny allegations of price fixing and maintains that it was not part of any conspiracy.

Bayer CropScience v. Dow AgroSciences ICC Arbitration
On August 13, 2012, Bayer CropScience AG and Bayer CropScience NV (together, “Bayer”) filed a request for arbitration with the International Chamber of Commerce ("ICC") International Court of Arbitration against Dow AgroSciences LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dow, and other subsidiaries of Dow (collectively, “DAS”) under a 1992 license agreement executed by predecessors of the parties (the “License Agreement”). In its request for arbitration, Bayer alleged that (i) DAS breached the License Agreement, (ii) the License Agreement was properly terminated with no ongoing rights to DAS, (iii) DAS has infringed and continues to infringe its patent rights related to the use of the pat gene in certain soybean and cotton seed products, and (iv) Bayer is entitled to monetary damages and injunctive relief. DAS denied that it breached the License Agreement and asserted that the License Agreement remained in effect because it was not properly terminated. DAS also asserted that all of Bayer’s patents at issue are invalid and/or not infringed, and, therefore, for these reasons (and others), a license was not required. During the pendency of the arbitration proceeding, DAS filed six re-examination petitions with the United States Patent & Trademark Office (“USPTO”) against the Bayer patents, asserting that each patent is invalid based on the doctrine against double-patenting and/or prior art. The USPTO granted all six petitions, and, on February 26, 2015, the USPTO issued an office action rejecting the patentability of the sole Bayer patent claim in the only asserted Bayer patent that has not expired and that forms the basis for the vast majority of the damages in the arbitral award discussed below.

A three-member arbitration tribunal presided over the arbitration proceeding (the “tribunal”). In a decision dated October 9, 2015, the tribunal determined that (i) DAS breached the License Agreement, (ii) Bayer properly terminated the License Agreement, (iii) all of the patents remaining in the proceeding are valid and infringed, and (iv) that Bayer is entitled to monetary damages in the amount of $455 million inclusive of pre-judgment interest and costs (the “arbitral award”). One of the arbitrators, however, issued a partial dissent finding that all of the patents are invalid based on the double-patenting doctrine. The tribunal also denied Bayer’s request for injunctive relief.

On October 16, 2015, Bayer filed a motion in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia ("Federal District Court") seeking to confirm the arbitral award. DAS opposed the motion and filed separate motions to vacate the award, or in the alternative, to stay enforcement of the award until the USPTO issues final office actions with respect to the re-examination proceedings. On January 15, 2016, the Federal District Court denied DAS's motions and confirmed the award. DAS appealed the Federal District Court's decision. On March 1, 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ("Federal Circuit") affirmed the arbitral award. As a result of this action, in the first quarter of 2017, DAS recorded a loss of $469 million, inclusive of the arbitral award and post-judgment interest, which is included in "Sundry income (expense) - net" in the consolidated statements of income and reflected in the Agriculture segment. On March 31, 2017, DAS filed a combined petition for Rehearing or Rehearing En Banc with the Federal Circuit which was denied on May 12, 2017. On May 19, 2017, the Federal Circuit issued a mandate denying DAS's request to stay the arbitral award pending judicial review by the United States Supreme Court. On May 26, 2017, DAS paid the $469 million arbitral award to Bayer. On September 11, 2017, DAS filed a petition for writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court.

DAS continues to believe the arbitral award is fundamentally flawed in numerous respects because it (i) violates U.S. public policy prohibiting enforcement of invalid patents, (ii) manifestly disregards applicable law, and (iii) disregards unambiguous contract provisions and ignores the essence of the applicable contracts. The USPTO has now issued office actions rejecting the patentability of all four patents that Bayer asserted in the case. DAS is continuing to pursue its legal rights with respect to this matter.

The arbitral award and subsequent related judicial decisions will not impact DAS’s commercialization of its soybean and cotton seed products, including those containing the ENLIST™ technologies.

Rocky Flats Matter
Dow and Rockwell International Corporation ("Rockwell") (collectively, the "defendants") were defendants in a class action lawsuit filed in 1990 on behalf of property owners ("plaintiffs") in Rocky Flats, Colorado, who asserted claims for nuisance and trespass based on alleged property damage caused by plutonium releases from a nuclear weapons facility owned by the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") (the "facility"). Dow and Rockwell were both DOE contractors that operated the facility - Dow from 1952 to 1975 and Rockwell from 1975 to 1989. The facility was permanently shut down in 1989.


In 1993, the United States District Court for the District of Colorado ("District Court") certified the class of property owners. The plaintiffs tried their case as a public liability action under the Price Anderson Act ("PAA"). In 2005, the jury returned a damages verdict of $926 million. Dow and Rockwell appealed the jury award to the U.S. Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals ("Court of Appeals") which concluded the PAA had its own injury requirements, on which the jury had not been instructed, and also vacated the District Court's class certification ruling, reversed and remanded the case, and vacated the District Court's judgment (Cook v. Rockwell Int'l Corp., 618 F.3d 1127, 1133 (10th Cir. 2010)). The plaintiffs argued on remand to the District Court that they were entitled to reinstate the judgment as a state law nuisance claim, independent of the PAA. The District Court rejected that argument and entered judgment in favor of the defendants (Cook v. Rockwell Int'l Corp, 13 F. Supp. 3d 1153 (D. Colo. 2014)). The plaintiffs appealed to the Court of Appeals, which reversed the District Court's ruling, holding that the PAA did not preempt the plaintiffs' nuisance claim under Colorado law and that the plaintiffs could seek reinstatement of the prior nuisance verdict under Colorado law, and remanded for additional proceedings, including consideration of whether the District Court could recertify the class (Cook v. Rockwell Int'l Corp., 790 F.3d 1088 (10th Cir. 2015)).

Dow and Rockwell continued to litigate this matter in the District Court and in the United States Supreme Court. On May 18, 2016, Dow, Rockwell and the plaintiffs entered into a settlement agreement for $375 million, of which $131 million was paid by Dow. The DOE authorized the settlement30, 2029 pursuant to the PAAescrow account replenishment terms as set forth in the MOU.

All funding obligations of the Company and Corteva under this sharing arrangement, whether in respect of escrow funding or in respect of qualified spend, will be allocated between the Company and Corteva in accordance with the terms of the DWDP Separation and Distribution Agreement and the nuclear hazards indemnity provisions contained in Dow and Rockwell's contracts. The District Court granted preliminary approvalterms of the Letter Agreement.

Future charges, if any, associated with the MOU would be recognized over the term of the agreement as a component of income from discontinued operations to the class settlement on August 5, 2016. On April 28, 2017,extent liabilities become probable and estimable.

The parties have agreed to cooperate in good faith to enter into additional agreements reflecting the District Court conducted a fairness hearing and granted final judgment approving the class settlement and dismissed class claims against the defendants ("final judgment order"). The litigation is now concluded.

On December 13, 2016, the United States Civil Board of Contract Appeals unanimously ordered the United States government to pay the amounts stipulatedterms set forth in the Settlement Agreement. On January 17, 2017, Dow received a full indemnity payment of $131 million from the United States government for Dow's share of the class settlement. On January 26, 2017, Dow placed $130 million in an escrow account for the settlement payment owed to the plaintiffs. The funds were subsequently released from escrow as a result of the final judgment order. At September 30, 2017, there are no outstanding balances in the consolidated balance sheets related to this matter ($131 million included in "Accounts and notes receivable - Other" and $130 million included in "Accrued and other current liabilities" at December 31, 2016).

Dow Corning Chapter 11 Related Matters
Introduction
In 1995, Dow Corning, then a 50:50 joint venture between Dow and Corning Inc. voluntarily filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in order to resolve Dow Corning’s breast implant liabilities and related matters (the “Chapter 11 Proceeding”). Dow Corning emerged from the Chapter 11 Proceeding on June 1, 2004 (the “Effective Date”) and is implementing the Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”). The Plan provides funding for the resolution of breast implant and other product liability litigation covered by the Chapter 11 Proceeding and provides a process for the satisfaction of commercial creditor claims in the Chapter 11 Proceeding. As of June 1, 2016, Dow Corning became a wholly owned subsidiary of Dow.

Breast Implant and Other Product Liability Claims
Under the Plan, a product liability settlement program administered by an independent claims office (the “Settlement Facility”) was created to resolve breast implant and other product liability claims. Product liability claimants rejecting the settlement program in favor of pursuing litigation must bring suit against a litigation facility (the “Litigation Facility”). Under the Plan, total payments committed by Dow Corning to resolving product liability claims are capped at a maximum $2,350 million net present value (“NPV”) determined as of the Effective Date using a discount rate of seven percent (approximately $3,716 million undiscounted at September 30, 2017). Of this amount, no more than $400 million NPV determined as of the Effective Date can be used to fund the Litigation Facility.

Dow Corning has an obligation to fund the Settlement Facility and the Litigation Facility over a 16-year period, commencing at the Effective Date. At September 30, 2017, Dow Corning and its insurers have made life-to-date payments of $1,762 million to the Settlement Facility and the Settlement Facility reported an unexpended balance of $138 million.

Dow Corning's liability for breast implant and other product liability claims ("Implant Liability") was $263 million at September 30, 2017 ($263 million at December 31, 2016), which is included in "Other noncurrent obligations" in the consolidated balance sheets. Dow Corning is not aware of circumstances that would change the factors used in estimating the Implant Liability and believes the recorded liability reflects the best estimate of the remaining funding obligations under the Plan; however, the estimate relies upon a number of significant assumptions, including: future claim filing levels in the Settlement Facility will be similar to those in the revised settlement program, which management uses to estimate future claim filing levels for the Settlement Facility; future acceptance rates, disease mix, and payment values will be materially consistent with historical experience; no material negative outcomes in future controversies or disputes over Plan interpretation will occur; and the Plan will not be modified. If actual outcomes related to any of these assumptions prove to be materially different, the future liability to fund the Plan may be materially


different than the amount estimated. If Dow Corning was ultimately required to fund the full liability up to the maximum capped value, the liability would be $1,954 million at September 30, 2017.

Commercial Creditor Issues
The Plan provides that each of Dow Corning’s commercial creditors (the “Commercial Creditors”) would receive in cash the sum of (a) an amount equal to the principal amount of their claims and (b) interest on such claims. The actual amount of interest that will ultimately be paid to these Commercial Creditors is uncertain due to pending litigation between Dow Corning and the Commercial Creditors regarding the appropriate interest rates to be applied to outstanding obligations from the 1995 bankruptcy filing date through the Effective Date, as well as the presence of any recoverable fees, costs and expenses. Upon the Plan becoming effective, Dow Corning paid approximately $1,500 million to the Commercial Creditors, representing principal and an amount of interest that Dow Corning considers undisputed.

In 2006, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit concluded that there is a general presumption that contractually specified default interest should be paid by a solvent debtor to unsecured creditors (the “Interest Rate Presumption”) and permitting Dow Corning’s Commercial Creditors to recover fees, costs, and expenses where allowed by relevant loan agreements. The matter was remanded to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan ("U.S. District Court") for further proceedings, including rulings on the facts surrounding specific claims and consideration of any equitable factors that would preclude the application of the Interest Rate Presumption. On May 10, 2017, the U.S. District Court entered a stipulated order resolving pending discovery motions and established a discovery schedule for the Commercial Creditors matter. As a result, Dow Corning and its third party consultants conducted further analysis of the Commercial Creditors claims and defenses. This analysis indicated the estimated remaining liability to Commercial Creditors to be within a range of $77 million to $260 million. No single amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range. Therefore, Dow Corning recorded the minimum liability within the range, which resulted in a decrease to the Commercial Creditor liability of $33 millionMOU in the second quarter of 2017,2021.

Ohio MDL Personal Injury Cases
DuPont, which was included in "Sundry income (expense) - net"formed after the spin-off of Chemours by EID, is not named in the consolidated statements of income. At September 30, 2017, the liability related to Dow Corning’s potential obligation to pay additional interest to its Commercial Creditors in the Chapter 11 Proceeding was $77 million, and is included in "Accruedpersonal injury and other current liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheets ($108 million at December 31, 2016). The actual amount of interest that will be paid to these creditors is uncertain and will ultimately be resolved through continued proceedings in the District Court.PFAS actions discussed below.

Indemnifications
In connection with the June 1, 2016 ownership restructure of Dow Corning, Dow is indemnified by Corning for 50 percent of future losses associated with certain pre-closing liabilities, including the Implant Liability and Commercial Creditors matters described above, subject to certain conditions and limits. The maximum amount of indemnified losses which may be recovered are subject to2004, EID settled a cap that declines over time. Indemnified losses are capped at (1) $1.5 billion until May 31, 2018, (2) $1.0 billion between May 31, 2018 and May 31, 2023, and (3) no recoveries are permitted after May 31, 2023. No indemnification assets were recorded at September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

Summary
The amounts recorded by Dow Corning for the Chapter 11 related matters described above were based upon current, known facts, which management believes reflect reasonable and probable estimates of the liability. However, future events could cause the actual costs for Dow Corning to be higher or lower than those projected or those recorded. Any such events could result in an increase or decrease to the recorded liability.

PFOA
DuPont used PFOA (collectively, perfluorooctanoic acids and its salts, including the ammonium salt), as a processing aid to manufacture some fluoropolymer resins at various sites around the world including its Washington Works plant in West Virginia. At September 30, 2017, DuPont had a total accrual balance of $15 million related to the PFOA matters discussed below. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement discussed below, DuPont is indemnified by The Chemours Company ("Chemours") for the matters discussed below. As a result, DuPont has recorded an indemnification asset of $15 million corresponding to the accrual balance at September 30, 2017.

Leach v. DuPont
In August 2001, a class action, captioned Leach v. DuPont, was filed in West Virginia state court allegingclass action, Leach v. DuPont, which alleged that residents living near thePFOA from EID’s former Washington Works facility had suffered, or may suffer, deleteriouscontaminated area drinking water supplies and affected the health effects from exposureof area residents. Members of the Leach class have standing to PFOApursue personal injury claims for just six health conditions that an expert panel appointed under the Leach settlement reported in drinking water.

DuPont and attorneys for the class reached2012 had a settlement in 2004 that binds approximately 80,000 residents, pursuant to which DuPont paid the plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and expenses of $23 million and made a payment of $70 million that class counsel designated to fund a community health project (the "Leach Settlement"). In addition, DuPont funded a series of health studies which were completed in October 2012 by an independent science panel of experts (the "C8 Science Panel"). The C8 Science


Panel found probable links, as“probable link” (as defined in the Leach Settlement, between exposure to PFOA andsettlement) with PFOA: pregnancy-induced hypertension, including preeclampsia; kidney cancer; testicular cancer; thyroid disease; ulcerative colitis; and
28

diagnosed high cholesterol.

Under In 2017, Chemours and EID each paid $335 million to settle the Leach Settlement, DuPont is obligated to fund up to $235 million for a medical monitoring program for eligible class members and, in addition, administrative costs associated with the program, including class counsel fees. In January 2012, DuPont established and put $1 million into an escrow account to fund medical monitoring as required by the Leach Settlement. As of September 30, 2017, less than $1 million had been disbursed. While it is probable that DuPont will incur liabilities related to funding the medical monitoring program, DuPont does not expect any such liabilities to be material. In addition, under the Leach Settlement, DuPont must continue to provide water treatment designed to reduce the level of PFOA in water to six area water districts, including the Little Hocking Water Association, and private well users.

Multi-District Litigation
Leach class members may pursue personal injury claims against DuPont only for the six human diseases for which the C8 Science Panel determined a probable link exists. Following the Leach Settlement, approximately 3,550 lawsuits alleging personal injury claims were filed in various federal and state courts in Ohio and West Virginia. These lawsuits are consolidated in multi-district litigation ("MDL") in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio.Ohio (“Ohio MDL”), thereby resolving claims of about 3,550 plaintiffs alleging injury from exposure to PFOA in drinking water. The 2017 settlement did not resolve claims of Leach class members who did not have claims in the Ohio MDL or whose claims are based on diseases first diagnosed after February 11, 2017. Since the 2017 settlement about 100 additional cases alleging personal injury, including kidney and testicular cancer claims, have been filed or noticed and are pending in the Ohio MDL.


InOn January 21, 2021, EID and Chemours entered into settlement agreements with plaintiffs’ counsel representing the first quarterOhio MDL plaintiffs providing for a settlement of 2017,cases and claims in the Ohio MDL, was settled for $671except as noted below (the “Settlement”). The total settlement amount is $83 million in cash (the "MDL Settlement"), halfwith each of which was to be paid by Chemoursthe Company and half paid by DuPont. At September 30, 2017, all payments under the settlement agreement have been made by both companies. DuPont’s payment is not subject to indemnification or reimbursement by Chemours. In exchange for that payment, DuPontEID contributing $27 million and Chemours receive releasescontributing $29 million. At March 31, 2021 the Company had paid $16 million of all claims byits $27 million contribution; the settling plaintiffs. The MDLremainder was paid in April 2021. The Settlement was entered into solely by way of compromise and settlement and is not in any way an admission of liability or fault by DuPontthe Company, Corteva, EID or Chemours. Claims from a small number of plaintiffs opting out of the MDL Settlement remain pending.

Additional Actions
Since 2006, DuPont has undertaken obligations under agreementsIn connection with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), includingSettlement, in April 2021 the plaintiffs filed a 2009 consent decree undermotion to terminate the Safe Drinking Water Act (the "Order"),Ohio MDL. The case captioned “Abbott v E. I. du Pont de Nemours and voluntary commitmentsCompany” is not included in the Settlement and is presently pending appeal.

In the Abbott case, the jury returned a verdict in March 2020 against EID, awarding $50 million in compensatory damages to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. These obligationsplaintiff and voluntary commitments include surveying, sampling and testing drinking water in and around certain DuPont sites and offering treatment or an alternative supply of drinking water if tests indicate the presence ofhis wife, who claimed that exposure to PFOA in drinking water at caused him to develop testicular cancer. In March 2021, the trial judge entered an order denying EID’s post-trial motions for a reduction in the verdict amount for Mr. Abbott but reduced Mrs. Abbott’s verdict for loss of consortium from $10 million to $250,000, reducing the total verdict to $40.25 million. EID has appealed the verdict. The plaintiffs also sought but were not awarded punitive damages.

In addition to the actions described above, there are several cases alleging damages to natural resources, the environment, water, and/or greater thanproperty as well as various other allegations. DuPont and Corteva are named in most of the national health advisory level, even if provisional, as establishedactions discussed below. Such actions include additional claims based on allegations that the transfer by EID of certain PFAS liabilities to Chemours prior to the Chemours Separation resulted in a fraudulent conveyance or voidable transaction. With the exception of the fraudulent conveyance claims, which are excluded from time to timethe MOU, legal fees, expenses, costs, and any potential liabilities for eligible PFAS costs presented by the EPA. A provisional health advisory level was set in 2009 at 0.4 parts per billion ("ppb") for PFOA in drinking water considering episodic exposure. In May 2016, the EPA announced a health advisory level of 0.07 ppb for PFOA in drinking water considering lifetime versus episodic exposure. In January 2017, the EPA announced it had amended the Order to include Chemours, and to make the new health advisory level the trigger for additional actions by DuPont and Chemours, thus expanding the obligations to the EPA beyond the previously established testing and water supply commitments around the Washington Works facility. The accrual at September 30, 2017, includes $15 million related to these obligations and voluntary commitments.

Concurrent with the MDL Settlement, DuPont and Chemours amended the Separation Agreement to provide for a limited sharing of potential future PFOA liabilities (i.e., indemnifiable losses,following matters will be shared as defined in the Separation Agreement)MOU between Chemours, EID, Corteva and DuPont.

Natural Resource Damage Matters
Since May 2017, a number of state attorneys general have filed lawsuits against DuPont, Corteva, EID, Chemours, and others, claiming environmental contamination by certain PFAS compounds. Such actions are currently pending in Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio and Vermont. Generally, the states raise common law tort claims and seek economic impact damages for a periodalleged harm to natural resources, punitive damages, present and future costs to cleanup contamination from certain PFAS compounds, and to abate the alleged nuisance. Most of five years beginning July 6, 2017. During that five-year period, Chemours will annually pay future PFOA liabilities up to $25 million and, if such amount is exceeded, DuPont would pay any excess amount upthese actions include fraudulent transfer claims related to the next $25 million (which payment will not be subject to indemnification by Chemours),Chemours Separation and the DowDuPont separations.

Additionally, DuPont has engaged with Chemours annually bearing any further excess liabilities. After the five-year period, this limited sharing agreement will expire,State of Delaware regarding potential similar causes of action for PFAS and Chemours’ indemnification obligations under the Separation Agreement would continue unchanged. Thereother contaminants.

Other PFAS Environmental Matters
Several additional lawsuits have been no charges incurredfiled by residents, local water districts, and private water companies against EID, Chemours, Corteva, DuPont under this arrangement through September 30, 2017. Chemours has also agreed that it will not contest its liability to DuPont under the Separation Agreement for PFOA liabilities on the basisand others in New York, New Jersey, and California generally alleging contamination of ostensible defenses generally applicablewater systems due to the indemnification provisions underrelease of PFAS compounds. These suits seek compensatory and punitive damages, as well as present and future costs to clean up the Separation Agreement,alleged contamination. This includes a putative class action filed in the Northern District of New York on behalf of all individuals who, as of December 1, 2015, are or were owners of real property located in the Village of Hoosick Falls, New York and who obtain their drinking water from a privately owned well which has allegedly been contaminated by PFAS. The plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages as well as medical monitoring. The certification of the class is currently pending before the court.

Additionally, there are several actions that have been filed in New Jersey and New York on behalf of residents who allege personal injuries due to exposure to PFAS in their drinking water. These lawsuits generally seek compensatory and punitive damages stemming from those alleged injuries and medical monitoring.

Aqueous Film Forming Foam
Beginning in April 2019, several dozen lawsuits involving water contamination arising from the use of PFAS-containing aqueous firefighting foams (“AFFF”) were filed against EID, Chemours, 3M and other AFFF manufacturers and in different parts of the country. Most were consolidated in multi-district litigation docket in federal district court in South Carolina (the
29

“SC MDL”). Many of those cases also name DuPont as a defendant. Those actions largely seek remediation of the alleged PFAS contamination in and around military bases and airports as well as medical monitoring of affected residents. The first 10 bellwether cases have been selected by the court, all of which are water district contamination cases.

As of March 31, 2021, approximately 1,020 personal injury cases have been filed directly in the SC MDL and assert claims on behalf of individual firefighters and others who allege that exposure to PFAS in firefighting foam caused them to develop cancer, including defenseskidney and testicular cancer. DuPont has been named as a defendant in most of these personal injury AFFF cases. DuPont is seeking the dismissal of DowDuPont and DuPont from these actions. EID and the Company have never made or sold AFFF, perfluorooctanesulfonic acid ("PFOS") or PFOS containing products.

Additionally, a case filed by a former firefighter is pending in the Southern District of Ohio seeking certification of a nationwide class of individuals who have detectable levels of PFAS in their blood serum. The suit was filed against 3M and several other defendants in addition to Chemours and EID. The complaint specifically seeks, among other things, the creation of a “PFAS Science Panel” to study the effects of PFAS, but expressly states that the class does not seek compensatory damages for personal injuries. In February 2020, the court denied the defendants' motion to transfer this case to the SC MDL. The decision of whether to certify the class is currently pending before the court.

North Carolina PFAS Actions
There are several actions pending in federal court against EID and Chemours, relating to punitive damages, fines or penalties or attorneys’ fees, and waives any such defenses with respect to PFOA liabilities. Chemours has, however, retained defenses as to whether any particular PFOA claimdischarges of PFCs, including GenX, into the Cape Fear River. GenX is within the scope of the indemnification provisions of the Separation Agreement.

It is possible that new lawsuits could be filed against DuPont related to PFOA that may not be within the scope of the MDL Settlement. Any such new litigation would be subject to indemnification by Chemours under the Separation Agreement, as amended.

Prior to the separation of Chemours, DuPont introduced GenX (the replacement product for PFOA) as a polymerization processing aid and a replacement for PFOA introduced by EID which Chemours continues to manufacture at theits Fayetteville Works facility in Bladen County, North Carolina.

These lawsuits including purported class actions, were filed against Chemours and DuPont, one of which also names the Company, alleging that certain perflourinated chemicals discharged into the Cape Fear River, from the operations and wastewater treatment at the Fayetteville Works facility, contaminated the water supply causing economic or property damage. It is possible that these ongoing inquiries and investigations, including the grand jury subpoena, could result in penalties or sanctions, or that additional litigation will be instituted against Chemours and/or DuPont. DuPont has an indemnification claim against Chemours with respect to current and future inquiries, investigations, and claims, including lawsuits,include fraudulent transfer allegations related to the foregoing.Chemours Separation.


Other Litigation Matters
In addition to the specific matters described above, Dow and DuPont are partiesthe Company is party to a number of other claims and lawsuits arising out of the normal course of business with respect to product liability, patent infringement, governmental regulation, contract and commercial litigation, and other actions. Certain of these actions may purport to be class actions and seek damages in very large amounts. All such claims are being contested. Dow and DuPont have active risk management programs consisting of numerous insurance policies secured from many carriers at various times. These policies may provide coverage that could be utilized to minimize the financial impact, if any, of certain contingencies described above. It is the opinion of the Company’s management that the possibility is remote that the aggregate of all such other claims and lawsuits will have a material adverse impact on the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the Company.

Gain Contingency - Dow v. Nova Chemicals Corporation Patent Infringement Matter
On December 9, 2010, Dow filed suit in the Federal Court in Ontario, Canada ("Federal Court") alleging that Nova Chemicals Corporation ("Nova") was infringing Dow's Canadian polyethylene patent 2,106,705 (the "'705 Patent"). Nova counterclaimed on the grounds of invalidity and non-infringement. In accordance with Canadian practice, the suit was bifurcated into a merits phase, followed by a damages phase. Following trial in the merits phase, in May 2014 the Federal Court ruled that the Dow's '705 Patent was valid and infringed by Nova. Nova appealed to the Canadian Federal Court of Appeal, which affirmed the Federal Court decision in August 2016. Nova then sought leave to appeal its loss to the Supreme Court of Canada, which dismissed Nova’s petition in April 2017. As a result, Nova has exhausted all appeal rights on the merits, and it is undisputed that Nova owes Dow the profits it earned from its infringing sales as determined in the trial for the damages phase.

On April 19, 2017, the Federal Court issued a Public Judgment in the damages phase, which detailed its conclusions on how to calculate the profits to be awarded to Dow. Dow and Nova submitted their respective calculations of the damages to the Federal Court in May 2017. On June 29, 2017, the Federal Court issued a Confidential Supplemental Judgment, concluding that Nova must pay $645 million Canadian dollars (equivalent to $495 million U.S. dollars) to Dow, plus pre- and post-judgment interest, for which Dow received payment of $501 million from Nova on July 6, 2017. Although Nova is appealing portions of the damages judgment, certain portions of it are indisputable and will be owed to Dow regardless of the outcome of any further appeals by Nova. As a result of these actions and in accordance with ASC 450-30 "Gain Contingencies," Dow recorded a $160 million pretax gain in the second quarter of 2017, reflected in the Packaging & Specialty Plastics segment, of which $137 million is included in "Sundry income (expense) - net" and $23 million is included in "Selling, general and administrative expenses" in the consolidated statements of income. At September 30, 2017, Dow had $341 million included in "Other noncurrent obligations" related to the disputed portion of the damages judgment. Dow is confident of its chances of defending the entire judgment on appeal, particularly the trial court's determinations on important factual issues, which will be accorded deferential review on appeal.


Environmental Matters
Accruals for environmental matters are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated based on current law and existing technologies. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, the Company had accrued obligations of $1,339$82 million for probable environmental remediation and restoration costs, including $229inclusive of $37 million forretained and assumed following the remediationDWDP Distributions and $45 million of Superfund sites.indemnified liabilities. These obligations are included in "Accrued and other current liabilities" and "Other noncurrent obligations" in the consolidated balance sheets.Consolidated Balance Sheets. This is management’s best estimate of the costs for remediation and restoration with respect to environmental matters for which the Company has accrued liabilities, although it is reasonably possible that the ultimate cost with respect to these particular matters could range up to two times$172 million above that amount.the amount accrued at March 31, 2021. Consequently, it is reasonably possible that environmental remediation and restoration costs in excess of amounts accrued could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. It is the opinion of the Company’s management, however, that the possibility is remote that costs in excess of the range disclosed will have a material impact on the Company’s results of


operations, financial condition or cash flows. Inherent uncertainties exist in these estimates primarily due to unknown conditions, changing governmental regulations and legal standards regarding liability, and emerging remediation technologies for handling site remediation and restoration. At December 31, 2016,2020 the Company had accrued obligations of $909$80 million for probable environmental remediation and restoration costs, including $151 million for the remediation of Superfund sites.costs.


Pursuant to the DuPontDWDP Separation and Chemours SeparationDistribution Agreement, discussed below, DuPontthe Company is required to indemnify certain clean-up responsibilities and associated remediation costs. The accrued environmental obligations of $45 million as of March 31, 2021 includes amount for which the Company indemnifies Dow and Corteva.

1.Net periodic benefit cost from continuing operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, includes one month of net periodic benefit credit for DuPont of $28 million for defined benefit pension plans and one month of net periodic benefit cost of $7 million for other postretirement benefits.
2.The 2017 impact relates to the curtailment and settlement of a Dow pension plan in South Korea.

Dow and DuPont’s funding policies are to contribute to defined benefit pension plans in the United States and a number of other countries based on pension funding laws and local country requirements. Contributions exceeding funding requirements may and have been made at Dow and DuPont’s discretion. During the first nine months of 2017, Dow contributed approximately $440 million to its pension plans, including contributions to fund benefit payments for its non-qualified supplemental plans. DuPont contributed $19 million post-Merger to its pension plans for plans other than the principal U.S. pension plan. Dow expects to contribute approximately $80 million to its pension plans and service cost component, is included in "Sundry income (expense) - net" in the interim Consolidated Statements of Operations.

DuPont expects to contribute approximately $50 million to its pension plansmake additional contributions in the remainder of 2017.

Dow
The provisions of a U.S. non-qualified pension plan for Dow require the payment of plan obligations to certain participants upon a change in control of the company, which occurred when Dow merged with DuPont. As a result, in the third quarter of 2017, $793 million was reclassified from “Pension and other postretirement benefits - noncurrent” to “Accrued and other current liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets. Certain participants can elect to receive a lump-sum payment or direct Dow to purchase an annuity on their behalf. In the fourth quarter of 2017, Dow expects to make paymentsaggregate of approximately $900$75 million and record a settlement chargeby year-end 2021.

On October 6, 2017, Dow transferred $410 million to an insurance company in anticipation of annuity purchases for plan participants who will receive a lump sum distribution of their plan benefits as a result of the plan's change in control provision and who elect to direct Dow to purchase an annuity on their behalf using the after-tax proceeds of the lump sum.




NOTE 1719 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Effective with the Merger, on August 31, 2017, DowDuPont assumed all Dow and DuPont equity incentive compensation awards outstanding immediately before the Merger. The previous DuPont equity awards were converted into the right to receive 1.2820 shares of DowDuPont Common Stock and had a fair value of approximately $629 million at the Merger closing date. The converted DuPont equity awards were measured at their fair value and included $485 million as consideration exchanged and $144 million that will be amortized to stock compensation expense over the remaining vesting periodA summary of the awards. The fair values of the converted awards were based on valuation assumptions developed by management and other information including, but not limited to, historical volatility and exercise trends of Dow and DuPont.

In addition, the Company also assumed sponsorship of each equity incentive compensation plan of Dow and DuPont. Dow and DuPont did not merge their equity and incentive plans as a result of the Merger. A description of Dow and DuPontCompany's stock-based compensation and other incentive plans are discussed below.

Dow
Stock Incentive Plan
Dow has historically granted equity awards under various plans (the "Prior Plans"). On February 9, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized The Dow Chemical Company 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2012 Plan"), which was approved by stockholders at Dow's annual meeting on May 10, 2012 ("Original Effective Date") and became effective on that date. On February 13, 2014, the Board of Directors adopted The Dow Chemical Company Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2012 Restated Plan"). The 2012 Restated Plan was approved by stockholders at Dow's annual meeting on May 15, 2014 and became effective on that date. The Prior Plans were superseded by the 2012 Plan and the 2012 Restated Plan (collectively, the "2012 Plan"). Under the 2012 Plan, the Company may grant options, deferred stock, performance deferred stock, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and stock units to employees and non-employee directors until the tenth anniversary of the Original Effective Date, subject to an aggregate limit and annual individual limits. The terms of the grants are fixed at the grant date.

Stock Options
Dow grants stock options to certain employees, subject to certain annual and individual limits, with terms of the grants fixed at the grant date. The exercise price of each stock option equals the market price of DowDuPont’s stock on the grant date. Options vest from one to three years, and have a maximum term of 10 years.

Deferred Stock
Dow grants deferred stock to certain employees. The grants vest after a designated period of time, generally one to three years.

Performance Deferred Stock
Dow grants performance deferred stock to certain employees. Compensation expense related to performance deferred stock awards is recognized over the lesser of the service or performance period.

Restricted Stock
Under the Dow 2012 Plan, Dow may grant shares (including options, stock appreciation rights, stock units and restricted stock) to non-employee directors over the 10-year duration of the program, subjectcan be found in Note 20 to the plan's aggregate limit as well as annual individual limits. The restricted stock issued under this plan cannot be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred by the non-employee director, until the director is no longer a member of the Board.

Most of Dow's stock-based compensation awards are grantedConsolidated Financial Statements included in the first quarter of each year. There was minimal employee grant activity inCompany’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the second and third quarters of 2017.year ended December 31, 2020.

In the first quarter of 2017, Dow granted the following stock-based compensation awards to employees under the 2012 Plan:

2.2 million stock options with a weighted-average exercise price of $61.19 per share and a weighted-average fair value of $14.44 per share;

1.6 million shares of deferred stock with a weighted-average fair value of $61.13 per share; and

1.7 million shares of performance deferred stock with a weighted-average fair value of $81.99 per share.




In the second quarter of 2017, Dow granted2020, the following stock-based compensation awardsstockholders of DuPont approved the 2020 Equity and Incentive Plan (the "2020 Plan") which allows the Company to non-employee directors under the 2012 Plan:

33,000grant options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, of restricted stock withunits ("RSUs"), share bonuses, other share-based awards, cash awards, or a weighted-average fair value of $62.04 per share.

In connection with the Merger, on August 31, 2017 ("Conversion Date") all outstanding Dow stock options and deferred stock awards were converted into stock options and deferred stock awards with respect to DowDuPont common stock. The stock options and deferred stock awards have the same terms and conditions under the applicable plans and award agreements prior to the Merger. All outstanding and nonvested performance deferred stock awards were converted into deferred stock awards with respect to DowDuPont common stock at the greatercombination of the applicable performance target or the actual performance as of the effective time of the Merger. Changes in the fair value of liability instruments are recognized as compensation expense each quarter.

A summary of performance deferred stock awards converted into deferred stock awards is provided in the following tables:

Total incremental compensation expense resulting from the conversion of performance deferred stock awards was $25 million ($15 million recognized in the third quarter of 2017 and $10 million to be recognized over the remaining service period). Approximately 5,000 employees were impacted by the conversion.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Dow historically granted stock-based compensation to employees under The Dow Chemical Company 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "2012 ESPP").foregoing. Under the 2017 annual offering2020 Plan, a maximum of the 2012 ESPP, most employees were eligible to purchase shares of Dow common stock valued at up to 10 percent of their annual base salary. The value was determined using the plan price multiplied by the number of shares subscribed to by the employee. The plan price of the stock is set at an amount equal to at least 85 percent of the fair market value (closing price) of the common stock on a date during the fourth quarter of the year prior to the offering, or the average fair market value (closing price) of the common stock over a period during the fourth quarter of the year prior to the offering, in each case, specified by the Vice President of Human Resources. The most recent offering of the 2012 ESPP closed on July 15, 2017, and no current offerings remain outstanding.

In the first quarter of 2017, employees subscribed to the right to purchase 3.618 million shares of Dow's common stock with a weighted-average exercise priceare available for award as of $50.22 per share and a weighted-average fair valueMarch 31, 2021. In June of $10.70 per share under2019, DuPont adopted the 2012 ESPP.

DuPont
Prior to the Merger, DuPont provided share-based compensation to its employees through grants of stock options (“Options”), time-vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”). Most of these awards have been granted annually in the first quarter of each calendar year.



DuPont Equity Incentive Plan
DuPont's EquityOmnibus Incentive Plan ("DuPont EIP"OIP"), as amended and restated effective August 31, 2017, which provides for equity-based and cash incentive awards to certain employees, directors, independent contractors and consultants.consultants in the form of stock options, RSUs and performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs"). Under the DuPont EIP, theOIP, a maximum number of 2 million shares reservedof common stock are available for award as of March 31, 2021.

DuPont recognized share-based compensation expense in continuing operations of $17 million and $38 million for the grant or settlementthree months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The income tax benefits related to stock-based compensation arrangements were $3 million and $8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

In the first quarter of awards is 1102021, the Company granted 0.6 million shares, provided that eachRSUs, 0.6 million stock options and 0.4 million PSUs. The weighted-average fair values per share in excess of 30 million that is issuedassociated with respect to any award that is not an option or stock appreciation right will be counted against the 110 million share limit as four and one-half shares. DuPont will satisfygrants were $72.88 per RSU, $16.92 per stock option exercises and vesting of RSUs and PSUs with newly issued shares of DowDuPont common stock.

DuPont Stock Options

When converted into the right to receive 1.2820 shares of DowDuPont Common Stock, the exercise price was also adjusted by the 1.2820 conversion factor. All options vest serially over a three-year period. Stock option awards granted between 2009 and 2015 expire seven years after the grant date and options granted in 2016 and 2017 expire ten years after the grant date. The plan allows retirement-eligible employees of DuPont to retain any granted awards upon retirement provided the employee has rendered at least six months of service following grant date. The awards have the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such equity awards immediately prior to the Merger closing date.$72.98.


As of September 30, 2017, $24 million of total unrecognized pre tax compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.80 years.

DuPont Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units
DuPont issues RSUs that serially vest over a three-year period and, upon vesting, convert one-for-one to DowDuPont common stock. A retirement-eligible employee retains any granted awards upon retirement provided the employee has rendered at least six months of service following the grant date. Additional RSUs are also granted periodically to key senior management employees. These RSUs generally vest over periods ranging from two to five years. The fair value of all stock-settled RSUs is based upon the market priceEffect of the underlying common stock asN&B Distributions on Equity Awards
At the time of the grant date. TheN&B Distribution, outstanding, unvested share-based compensation awards have the same terms and conditions asthat were applicable to such equity awards immediately prior to the Merger closing date.

DuPont also grants PSUs to senior leadership. Vesting for PSUs granteddenominated in 2016 and 2017 is based upon total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to peer companies.Vesting for PSUs granted in 2015 is equally based upon change in operating net income relative to target and TSR relative to peer companies. Operating net income is net income attributable to DuPont excluding income from discontinued operations after taxes, significant after tax benefits (charges), and non-operating pension and OPEB costs. Performance and payouts are determined independently for each metric. The actual award, delivered as DuPont common stock can range from zero percent to 200 percent of the original grant. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the PSUs, subject to the revenue metric, was based upon the market price of the underlying common stockand held by N&B Employees were terminated and reissued as of the grant date.

Upon a change in control, DuPont's EIP provisions required PSUs to be converted into RSUs based on the number of PSUs that would vest by assuming that target levels of performance are achieved. Service requirements for vesting in the RSUs replicate those inherent in the exchanged PSUs.

In accordance with the Merger Agreement, PSUs will convert to DowDuPont RSUequity awards based on an assessment of the underlying market conditions in the PSUs at the greater of target or actual performance levels as of the closing date. As the actual performance levels were not in excess of target as of the closing date, all PSUs converted to RSUs based on target and there was not incremental benefit from the Merger Agreement when compared to DuPont’s EIP.

As of September 30, 2017, $110 million of total unrecognized pretax compensation cost related to RSUs is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.91 years.
Other Cash-based Awards
Cash awardsissued under the DuPont EIP plan may be granted to employees who have contributed most to DuPont's success, with consideration being given to the ability to succeed to more important managerial responsibility. The amounts of the awards are dependent on DuPont earnings and are subject to maximum limits as defined under the governing plans. In addition, DuPont has other variable compensation plans under which cash awards may be granted. These plans include the regional and local variable compensation plans.IFF stock plan.

At September 30, 2017, the Company had $6,490 million ($3,934 million at December 31, 2016) of held-to-maturity securities (primarily Treasury Bills and Time Deposits) classified as cash equivalents, as these securities had maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase; and $1,826 million classified as marketable securities as these securities had maturities of more than three months to less than one year at the time of purchase. The Company’s investments in held-to-maturity securities are held at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. At September 30, 2017, the Company had investments in money market funds of $1,457 million classified as cash equivalents ($239 million at December 31, 2016).

The aggregate cost of the Company's cost method investments totaled $157 million at September 30, 2017 ($120 million at December 31, 2016). Due to the nature of these investments, either the cost basis approximates fair value or fair value is not readily


determinable. These investments are reviewed quarterly for impairment indicators. In the second quarterordinary course of 2016, a write-down of $4 million was recorded as part of the Dow 2016 restructuring charge. The Company's impairment analysis resulted in no additional reductions in the cost basis of these investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (no reduction, other than the restructuring charge, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016).

Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Agreement Transactions
Dow enters into repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements. These transactions are accounted for as collateralized borrowings and lending transactions bearing a specified rate of interest and are short-term in nature with original maturities of 30 days or less. The underlying collateral is typically Treasury Bills with longer maturities than the repurchase agreement. The impact of these transactions are not material to Dow’s results. There were no repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements outstanding at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Subsequent to September 30, 2017, Dow continued to invest excess cash in reverse repurchase agreements. There were $120 million of reverse repurchase agreements outstanding at the time of filing.

Risk Management
DowDuPont’s business, operations give rise to market risk exposure due to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and other market factors such as equity prices. To manage such risks effectively, the Company enters into contractual arrangements (derivatives) to reduce its exposure to foreign currency, and interest rate risks. The Company has established a variety of derivative programs to be utilized for financial risk management. These programs reflect varying levels of exposure coverage and time horizons based on an assessment of risk.

Derivative programs have procedures and controls and are approved by the Corporate Financial Risk Management Committee, consistent with the Company's financial risk management policies and guidelines. Derivative instruments used are forwards, options, futures and swaps. As of the first quarter of 2021, the Company has not designated any derivatives or non-derivatives as hedging instruments.

35

The Company's financial risk management procedures also address counterparty credit approval, limits and routine exposure monitoring and reporting. The counterparties to these contractual arrangements pursuant to established guidelines and policies, which enable it to mitigate the adverse effects of financial market risk. Derivatives used for this purpose are designated as cash flow, fair value or net foreign investment hedges where appropriate. Accounting guidance requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value.

The Company’s risk management program for interest rate, foreign currency and commodity risks is based on fundamental, mathematical and technical models that take into account the implicit cost of hedging. Risks created by derivative instruments and the mark-to-market valuations of positions are strictly monitored. Counterparty credit risk arising from these contracts is not significant because the Company minimizes counterparty concentration, deals primarily with major financial institutions and major commodity exchanges. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of solidnonperformance by these counterparties. The Company utilizes collateral support annex agreements with certain counterparties to limit its exposure to credit quality,losses. The Company anticipates performance by counterparties to these contracts and the majority of its hedging transactions mature in less than three months. In addition, the Company minimizes concentrations oftherefore no material loss is expected.

Interest Rate Risk Management
The Company enters into various interest rate contracts with the objective of lowering funding costs or altering interest rate exposures related to fixed and variable rate obligations. In these contracts, the Company agrees with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated on an agreed-upon notional principal amount.

Foreign Currency Risk Management
Dow
Dow's global operations require active participation in foreign exchange markets. Dow enters into foreign exchange forward contracts and options, and cross-currency swaps to hedge various currency exposures or create desired exposures. Exposures primarily relate to assets, liabilities and bonds denominated in foreign currencies, as well as economic exposure, which is derived from the risk that currency fluctuations could affect the dollar value of future cash flows related to operating activities. The primary business objective of the activity is to optimize the U.S. dollar ("USD") value of Dow’s assets, liabilities and future cash flows with respect to exchange rate fluctuations. Assets and liabilities denominated in the same foreign currency are netted, and only the net exposure is hedged.

DuPont
DuPont's objective in managing exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with foreign currency rate changes. Accordingly, DuPont enters into various contracts that change in value as foreign exchange rates change to protect the value of its existing foreign currency-denominated assets, liabilities, commitments and cash flows.

DuPont routinely uses forward exchange contracts to offset its net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations. The primary business objective of this hedging program is to maintain an approximately balanced position in foreign currencies so that exchange gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes,1.Presented net of related tax effects, are minimized. DuPont also uses foreign currency exchange contracts to offset a portion of DuPont's exposure to certain foreign currency-denominated revenues so that gainsbought and losses on these contracts offset changes in the USD value of the related foreign currency-denominated revenues. The objective of the hedge program is to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.sold.

Commodity Risk Management
The Company has exposure to the prices of commodities in its procurement of certain raw materials. The primary purpose of commodity hedging activities is to manage the price volatility associated with these forecasted inventory purchases. The Company enters into over-the-counter and exchange-traded derivative commodity instruments to hedge the commodity price risk.




Derivatives Notnot Designated in Hedging Relationships
Foreign Currency Contracts
Dow
Dow also uses foreign exchange forward contracts, options and cross-currency swaps that are not designated as hedging instruments primarily to manage foreign currency exposure.

DuPont
DuPontThe Company routinely uses forward exchange contracts to reduce its net exposure, by currency, related to foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations so that exchange gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes are minimized. The netting of such exposures precludes the use of hedge accounting; however, the required revaluation of the forward contracts and the associated foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities intends to achieve a minimal earnings impact, after taxes. DuPont also usesThe Company may use foreign currency exchange contracts to offset a portion of the Company's exposure to certain foreign currency-denominated revenues so that gains and losses on the contracts offset changes in the USD value of the related foreign currency-denominated revenues.


Commodity Contracts
The Company utilizes futures, options and swap instruments that are effective as economic hedgesEffect of commodity price exposures, but do not meet hedge accounting criteria for derivatives and hedging, to reduce exposure to commodity price fluctuations on purchases of raw materials and inventory.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments
Foreign currency derivatives not designated as hedges are used to offset foreign exchange gains or losses resulting from the underlying exposures of foreign currency-denominated assets and Hedging Activities
Cash Flow Hedges
Dow
For derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedging instruments, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in AOCL; it is reclassified to income in the same period or periods that the hedged transaction affects income. The unrealized amounts in AOCL fluctuate based on changes in the fair value of open contracts at the end of each reporting period. Dow anticipates volatility in AOCL and net income from its cash flow hedges.liabilities. The amount of volatility varies with the level of derivative activities and market conditions during any period. Gains and lossescharged on the derivatives representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current period income.

Dow had open interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges at September 30, 2017, with a net loss of $2 million after tax (net loss of $4 million after tax at December 31, 2016).

Dow had open foreign currency-contracts designated as cash flow hedges of the currency risk associated with forecasted feedstock transactions not extending beyond 2018. The effective portion of the mark-to-market effects of thepre-tax basis related to foreign currency contracts is recorded in AOCL; it is reclassified to income in the same period or periods that the underlying feedstock purchase affects income. The net loss from the foreign currency hedges included in AOCL at September 30, 2017, was $24 million after tax (net gain of $22 million after tax at December 31, 2016).

Commodity swaps, futures and option contracts with maturities ofderivatives not more than 63 months are utilized and designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted commodity purchases. Current open contracts hedge forecasted transactions until December 2022. The effective portion of the mark-to-market effect of the cash flow hedge instrument is recorded in AOCL; it is reclassified to income in the same period or periods that the underlying commodity purchase affects income. The net loss from commodity hedges included in AOCL at September 30, 2017, was $102 million after tax ($99 million after tax loss at December 31, 2016).

Fair Value Hedges
Dow
For interest rate swap instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current period income and reflected as “Interest expense and amortization of debt discount” in the consolidated statements of income. The short-cut method is used when the criteria are met. During the first nine months of 2017, Dow entered into and subsequently terminated interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges of underlying fixed rate debt obligations with maturity dates extending through 2024. The fair value adjustment resulting from these swaps was a gain on the derivative of $5 million. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Dow had no open interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges of underlying fixed rate debt obligations. Subsequent to September 30, 2017, Dow entered into interest rate swaps with a gross notional USD equivalent of $770 million designated as a fair value hedge of underlying fixed rate debt obligations.




Net Foreign Investment Hedges
Dow
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as net foreign investment hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is included in “Cumulative Translation Adjustments” in AOCL. Dow had open foreign currency contracts designated as net foreign investment hedges at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. In addition, at September 30, 2017, Dow had outstanding foreign-currency denominated debt designated as a hedge, which was included in “Sundry income (expense) - net” in the interim Consolidated Statements of net foreign investmentOperations, was a loss of $178$20 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 ($1724 million at Decembergain for the month ended March 31, 2016)2020). The resultsincome statement effects of hedges of Dow’s net investment in foreign operations included in “Cumulative Translation Adjustments” inother derivatives were immaterial.

Reclassification from AOCL was a net loss of $69 million after tax at September 30, 2017 (net gain of $1 million after tax at December 31, 2016).

The net after-tax amountsCompany does not expect to be reclassifiedreclassify gains or losses related to foreign currency contracts from AOCL to income within the next 12 months and there are a $2 million loss for interest rate contracts, an $18 million loss for commodity contracts and a $22 million loss for foreign currency contracts.

The following tables provide the Company's derivative assets and liabilities at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

For assets classified as Level 3 measurements, the fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs including assumptions where there is little, if any, market activity. The fair value of the Company’s interests held in trade receivable conduits is determined by calculating the expected amount of cash to be received using the key input of anticipated credit losses in the portfolio of receivables sold that have not yet been collected. Given the short-term nature of the underlying receivables, discount rate and prepayments are not factors in determining the fair value of the interests.

NOTE 20 - VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Dow Consolidated Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs")
Dow holds a variable interest in the following joint ventures or entities for which it is the primary beneficiary:

Asia Pacific joint ventures
Dow has variable interests in three joint ventures that own and operate manufacturing and logistics facilities, which produce chemicals and provide services in Asia Pacific. Dow's variable interests in these joint ventures relate to arrangements between the joint ventures and Dow, involving the majority of the output on take-or-pay terms with pricing ensuring a guaranteed return to the joint ventures.

Polishing materials joint venture
Dow has variable interests in a joint venture that manufactures products in Japan for the semiconductor industry. Each joint venture partner holds several equivalent variable interests, with the exception of a royalty agreement held exclusively between the joint venture and Dow. In addition, the entire output of the joint venture is sold to Dow for resale to third-party customers.

Ethylene storage joint venture
Dow has variable interests in a joint venture that provides ethylene storage in Alberta, Canada. Dow's variable interests relate to arrangements involving a majority of the joint venture's storage capacity on take-or-pay terms with pricing ensuring a guaranteed return to the joint venture; and favorably priced leases provided to the joint venture. Dow provides the joint venture with operation and maintenance services and utilities.

Ethanol production and cogeneration in Brazil
Dow was a partner in a joint venture located in Brazil that produces ethanol from sugarcane. Dow's variable interests in this joint venture related to an equity option between the partners, a parental loan and guarantee related to debt financing, and contractual arrangements limiting the partner's initial participation in the economics of certain assets and liabilities. After formation of the joint venture, the partners amended the governing documents, including terms of the equity option. Terms of the equity option required Dow to purchase the partner's equity investment at a price based on a specified formula if the partner elected to exit the joint venture. In August 2015, the partner exercised its equity option which required Dow to purchase their equity investment. On March 31, 2016, the partner's equity investment transferred to Dow. On July 11, 2016, Dow paid $202 million to the former partner, which is classified as "Purchases of noncontrolling interests" in the consolidated statements of cash flows. This former joint venture is now 100 percent owned by Dow. Dow continues to hold variable interests in a related entity that owns a cogeneration facility. Dow's variable interests are the result of a tolling arrangement where it provides fuel to the entity and purchases a majority of the cogeneration facility’s output on terms that ensure a return to the entity’s equity holders.



Assets and Liabilities of Consolidated VIEs
The Company's consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The other equity holders’ interests are reflected in "Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests" in the consolidated statements of income and "Noncontrolling interests" in the consolidated balance sheets. The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of these entities’ assets and liabilities included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

Dow holds a variable interest in an entity created to monetize accounts receivable of select European entities. Dow is the primary beneficiary of this entity as a result of holding subordinated notes while maintaining servicing responsibilities for the accounts receivable. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets pertaining to this entity were current assets of $638 million (zero restricted) at September 30, 2017 ($477 million, zero restricted, at December 31, 2016) and current liabilities of $4 million (zero nonrecourse) at September 30, 2017 (less than $1 million, zero nonrecourse, at December 31, 2016).

Amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets and the preceding table as restricted assets or nonrecourse obligations relating to consolidated VIEs at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are adjusted for intercompany eliminations and parental guarantees.

Dow Nonconsolidated Variable Interest Entities
Dow holds a variable interest in the following joint ventures or entities for which Dow is not the primary beneficiary.

Polysilicon joint venture
As a result of the DCC Transaction, Dow holds variable interests in Hemlock Semiconductor L.L.C. The variable interests relate to an equity interest held by Dow and arrangements between Dow and the joint venture to provide services. Dow is not the primary beneficiary, as it does not direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of this entity; therefore, the entity is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. At September 30, 2017, the Company had a negative investment basis of $850 million ($902 million at December 31, 2016) in this joint venture, which is classified as "Other noncurrent obligations" in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company's maximum exposure to loss was zero at September 30, 2017 (zero at December 31, 2016).

Silicon joint ventures
Also as a result of the DCC Transaction, Dow holds minority voting interests in certain joint ventures that produce silicon inputs for Dow Corning. These joint ventures operate under supply agreements that sell inventory to the equity owners using pricing mechanisms that guarantee a return, therefore shielding the joint ventures from the obligation to absorb expected losses. As a result of the pricing mechanisms of these agreements, these entities are determined to be variable interest entities. Dow is not the primary beneficiary, as it does not hold the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these entities; therefore, the entities are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company's maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with these variable interest entities is determined to be the carrying value of the investment in these entities. At September 30, 2017, the Company's investment in these joint ventures was $97 million ($96 million at December 31, 2016) and is classified as "Investment in nonconsolidated affiliates" in the consolidated balance sheets, representing the Company's maximum exposure to loss.



Crude acrylic acid joint venture
Dow holds a variable interest in a joint venture that manufactures crude acrylic acid in the United States and Germany on behalf of Dow and the other joint venture partner. The variable interest relates to a cost-plus arrangement between the joint venture and each joint venture partner. Dow is not the primary beneficiary, as a majority of the joint venture’s output is committed to the other joint venture partner; therefore, the entity is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. At September 30, 2017, the Company’s investment in the joint venture was $160 million ($171 million at December 31, 2016), classified as “Investment in nonconsolidated affiliates” in the consolidated balance sheets, representing the Company’s maximum exposure to loss.

AgroFresh Solutions, Inc.
Dow holds variable interests in AgroFresh Solutions, Inc. ("AFSI"), a company that produces and sells proprietary technologies for the horticultural market. The variable interests in AFSI relate to a sublease agreement between Dow and AFSI; a tax receivable agreement that entitles Dow to additional consideration in the form of tax savings, which is contingent on the operations and earnings of AFSI; and contingent consideration, which is subject to certain performance conditions. Dow is not the primary beneficiary, as it is a minority shareholder in AFSI and AFSI is governed by a board of directors, the composition of which is mandated by AFSI's corporate governance requirements that a majority of the directors be independent. The Company's investment in AFSI was $44 million at September 30, 2017 ($46 million at December 31, 2016), and is classified as "Investment in nonconsolidated affiliates" in the consolidated balance sheets. On April 4, 2017, Dow and AFSI revised certain agreements related to the divestiture of the AgroFresh business, including termination of an agreement related to a receivable for six million warrants, which was valued at $1 million at December 31, 2016. Dow also entered into an agreement to purchase up to 5,070,358 shares of AFSI's common stock, which represented approximately 10 percent of AFSI's common stock outstanding at signing of the agreement, subject to certain terms and conditions. At September 30, 2017, the Company had a receivable with AFSI of $4 million ($12 million at December 31, 2016), which is classified as "Accounts and notes receivable - Other" in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company's maximum exposure to loss was $48 million at September 30, 2017 ($59 million at December 31, 2016).


NOTE 2122 - SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC REGIONS
Effective August 31, 2017, Dow and DuPont completed the previously announced merger of equals transaction pursuant to the Merger Agreement, resulting in a newly formed corporation named DowDuPont. See Note 3 for additional information on the Merger. As a result of the Merger, new operating segments were created which are used by management to allocate Company resources and assess performance. The new segments are aligned with the market verticals they serve, while maintaining integration and innovation strengths within strategic value chains. DowDuPont is comprised of nine operating segments, which are aggregated into eight reportable segments: Agriculture; Performance Materials & Coatings; Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure; Packaging & Specialty Plastics; Electronics & Imaging; Nutrition & Biosciences; Transportation & Advanced Polymers and Safety & Construction. Corporate contains the reconciliation between the totals for the reportable segments and the Company’s totals.

DowDuPont will report geographic information for the following regions: U.S. & Canada, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Europe, Middle East, and Africa ("EMEA"). As a result of the Merger, Dow changed the geographic alignment for the country of India to be reflected in Asia Pacific (previously reported in EMEA) and aligned Puerto Rico to U.S. & Canada (previously reported in Latin America).

The segment and geographic region reporting changes were retrospectively applied to all periods presented.

Effective with the Merger, the Company changed itsCompany's measure of profit/loss for segment reporting purposes from Operating EBITDA to pro formais Operating EBITDA as this is the manner in which the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") assesses performance and allocates resources. The Company defines pro formaOperating EBITDA as earnings (i.e., pro forma “Income from continuing operations before income taxes") before interest, depreciation, amortization, non-operating pension / OPEB benefits / charges, and foreign exchange gains (losses). Pro forma Operating EBITDA is defined as pro forma EBITDA excluding the impact of/ losses, adjusted for significant items. Reconciliations of these measures are provided on the following pages.

Effective February 1, 2021, in conjunction with the closing of the N&B Transaction, the Company completed the 2021 Segment Realignment resulting in a change to its management and reporting structure. These changes resulted in the following:
•Realignment of certain businesses from Transportation & Industrial to Electronics & Imaging

The distribution was effected through an exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) where, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, eligible participating DuPont stockholders had the option to tender all, some or none of their shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of DuPont (the “DuPont Common Stock”) for a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of N&B (the “N&B Common Stock”) and which resulted in all shares of N&B Common Stock being distributed to DuPont stockholders that participated in the Exchange Offer.

SUPPLEMENTAL UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following supplemental unaudited pro forma combined statements of income (the "unaudited pro forma income statements") for DowDuPont are presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the Merger, assuming that the Merger had been consummated on January 1, 2016. For the periods presented below, activity prior to August 31, 2017 (the “Merger Date”) was prepared on a pro forma basis (the “unaudited pro forma information”) and activity after the Merger Date was prepared on a combined U.S. GAAP basis. The unaudited pro forma information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. Pro forma adjustments have been made for (1) the preliminary purchase accounting impact, (2) accounting policy alignment, (3) eliminate the effect of events that are directly attributable to the Merger Agreement (e.g., one-time transaction costs), (4) eliminate the impact of transactions between Dow and DuPont, and (5) eliminate the effect of consummated or probable and identifiable divestitures agreed to with certain regulatory agencies as a condition of approval for the Merger. Events that are not expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results (e.g., inventory step-up costs) are excluded. The unaudited pro forma information does not reflect restructuring or integration activities or other costs following the Merger that may be incurred to achieve cost or growth synergies of DowDuPont. The unaudited pro forma income statements provide shareholders with summary financial information and historical data that is on a basis consistent with how DowDuPont reports current financial information.

The Merger was accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805, "Business Combinations" ("ASC 805"), under which Dow has been designated as the accounting acquirer in the Merger for accounting purposes. Under ASC 805, Dow accounted for the transaction by using Dow historical financial information and accounting policies and adding the assets and liabilities of DuPont as of the Merger Date at their respective fair values. The assets and liabilities of DuPont have been measured based on various preliminary estimates at the Merger Date using assumptions that DowDuPont believes are reasonable based on information that is currently available. DowDuPont intends to complete the valuations and other studies and will finalize the allocation of consideration as soon as practicable within the measurement period in accordance with ASC 805, but no later than one year following the closing date of the Merger. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting may occur and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma income statements and DowDuPont’s future results of operations.

The unaudited pro forma information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X which is a different basis than the unaudited pro forma information presented in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which was prepared in accordance with the requirements of ASC 805.

The unaudited pro forma income statements have been presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what DowDuPont’s results of operations actually would have been had the Merger been completed on January 1, 2016. In addition, the unaudited pro forma income statements do not purport to project the future operating results of the Company. The unaudited pro forma income statements were based on and should be read in conjunction with the separate historical financial statements and accompanying notes contained in each of the Dow and DuPont Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the applicable periods. See Notes 1 and 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

8.Represents the income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments related to the Merger calculated using a blended statutory income tax rate, inclusive of state taxes. Management believes the blended statutory income tax rate resulting from this calculation provides a reasonable basis for the pro forma adjustments, however the effective tax rate of DowDuPont could be significantly different depending on the mix of activities.
9.Reclassify historical dividends for DuPont preferred stock from "Preferred stock dividends" to "Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests."






OUTLOOK
Consumer-led demand continues to drive global economic activity, which remains robust across most major economies, including Europe, China and the United States. DowDuPont's demand outlook is positive for the majority of the Company's key end-markets. DowDuPont still sees some market headwinds, the most notable being in agriculture where the Company continues to closely monitor the situation in Brazil due to the slow start to the summer season. But the Company remains confident that it will have a solid year across its newly combined Ag division.

Looking forward, DowDuPont has all the levers it needs to execute near-term priorities: delivering earnings and cash flow growth; executing cost synergy actions and realizing the savings; advancing stand-up activities for the intended growth companies; and unlocking the shareholder value creation envisaged through this historic transaction.


SEGMENT RESULTS
Effective August 31, 2017, Dow and DuPont completed the previously announced merger of equals transaction pursuant to the Merger Agreement resulting in a newly formed corporation named DowDuPont. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Merger. As a result of the Merger, new operating segments were created which are used by management to allocate Company resources and assess performance. The new segments are aligned with the market verticals they serve, while maintaining integration and innovation strengths within strategic value chains. DowDuPont is comprised of nine operating segments, which are aggregated into eight reportable segments: Agriculture; Performance Materials & Coatings; Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure; Packaging & Specialty Plastics; Electronics & Imaging; Nutrition & Biosciences; Transportation & Advanced Polymers and Safety & Construction. Corporate contains the reconciliation between the totals for the reportable segments and the Company’s totals. The Company’s Nutrition & Biosciences segment consists of two operating segments, Nutrition & Health and Industrial Biosciences, which individually did not meet the quantitative thresholds.

DowDuPont will report geographic information for the following regions: U.S. & Canada, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and EMEA. As a result of the Merger, Dow changed the geographic alignment for the country of India to be reflected in Asia Pacific (previously reported in EMEA) and aligned Puerto Rico to U.S. & Canada (previously reported in Latin America).

Effective with the Merger, the Company changed itsCompany's measure of profit/loss for segment reporting purposes from Operating EBITDA to pro formais Operating EBITDA as this is the manner in which the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") assessesassessed performance and allocates resources. The Company defines pro formaOperating EBITDA as earnings (i.e., pro forma “Income from continuing operations before income taxes") before interest, depreciation, amortization, non-operating pension / OPEB benefits / charges, and foreign exchange gains (losses). Pro forma Operating EBITDA is defined as pro forma EBITDA excluding the impact of/ losses, adjusted for significant items. A reconciliationReconciliations of “Income from continuing operations, net of tax” to pro forma Operating EBITDAthese measures can be found in Note 2122 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Prior year data has

Effective February 1, 2021, DuPont changed its management and reporting structure. The reporting changes have been updated to conform with current year presentation.

The Company is also presenting pro forma net sales as it is includedretrospectively reflected in management's measurethe following discussion of segment performance and regularly reviewed by the CODM.

Pro forma adjustments used in the calculation of pro forma net sales and pro forma Operating EBITDA were determined in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and were based on the historical consolidated financial statements of Dow and DuPont, adjusted to give effectresults for all periods presented. See Note 22 to the Merger as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2016. For additional information on the pro forma adjustments made, see Supplemental Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information in the preceding section.


AGRICULTURE
The Agriculture segment leverages the Company’s technology, customer relationships and industry knowledge to improve the quantity, quality and safety of the global food supply and the global production agriculture industry. Land available for worldwide agricultural production is increasingly limited so production growth will need to be achieved principally through improving crop yields and productivity. The segment’s two global businesses, Seed and Crop Protection, deliver a broad portfolio of products and services that are specifically targeted to achieve gains in crop yields and productivity, including well-established brands of seed products, crop protection products, seed treatment, agronomy and digital services. Research and development ("R&D") focuses on leveraging germplasm and plant science technology to increase grower productivity and to enhance the value of grains and oilseeds through improved seed traits, superior seed germplasm and effective use of crop protection solutions.

Agriculture net sales were $1,532 million in the third quarter of 2017, up 24 percent from $1,233 million in the third quarter of 2016. Agriculture pro forma net sales for the third quarter of 2017 were $1,911 million, down 4 percent from $1,998 million in 2016. Compared with the same period last year, pro forma volume and local price declined 5 percent and 4 percent respectively, which was partially offset by portfolio and currency benefits. Pro forma volume declines were driven by a reduction in expected corn planted area in Brazil, a delayed start to the Brazil summer season, and high channel inventories for Crop Protection in Latin America. Reductions in volume were partially offset by continued penetration of new products including ArylexTM herbicide, Vessarya® fungicide, Leptra® corn hybrids, and Isoclast® insecticide. Pro forma local price declines were driven by the above noted high channel inventories for Crop Protection and an increase in soybean seed replant in North America.

The portfolio pro forma gains for the third quarter of 2017 as compared to 2016, were due to the Dow AgroSciences corn seed remedy in Brazil, which is excluded from pro forma results for periods prior to the Merger, but will be included in reported results subsequent to the Merger and until the close of the sale, which is expected in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Agriculture pro forma Operating EBITDA for the third quarter of 2017 was a loss of $239 million, compared to a pro forma loss of $172 million in the same quarter last year. Lower product costs, favorable currency, lower pension and other postretirement costs and portfolio changes were more than offset by reduced volume and price, particularly due to weakness in Brazil.
Agriculture net sales were $4,729 million for the first nine months of 2017, up 6 percent from $4,456 million for the first nine months of 2016. Agriculture pro forma net sales were $11,555 million for the first nine months of 2017, up 1 percent from $11,396 million in the first nine months of 2016, driven by volume increase of 1 percent. Pro forma volume growth was driven by a change in the timing of seed deliveries, including the southern U.S. route-to-market change, higher soybean seed sales in North America and an increase in sunflower and corn seed sales in Europe. These were partially offset by lower North America corn seed volumes impacted by a decrease in corn planted area. Pro forma price declines driven by competitive pressure in Crop Protection in Latin America were offset by the continued penetration of new products.
Agriculture pro forma Operating EBITDA for the first nine months of 2017 was $2,387 million compared with $2,222 million in 2016. Compared with the same period last year, pro forma Operating EBITDA increased due to growth in volumes and new product sales.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company hadcontinually reviews its sources of liquidity and debt portfolio and may make adjustments to one or both to ensure adequate liquidity and increase the Company’s optionality and financing efficiency as it relates to financing cost and balancing terms/maturities. The Company’s primary source of incremental liquidity is cash flows from operating activities. Management expects the generation of cash from operations and the ability to access the debt capital markets and other sources of liquidity will continue to provide sufficient liquidity and financial flexibility to meet the Company’s and its subsidiaries obligations as they come due.

Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities$6,385 $2,544 
Total debt$12,622 $15,612 

The Company's cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $6.4 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, of $14,974 millionwhich $1.9 billion at September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and $6,607 million$1.8 billion at December 31, 2016, of which $11,453 million at September 30, 2017 and $4,890 million at December 31, 2016 was2020 were held by subsidiaries in foreign countries, including United States territories. For each of its foreign subsidiaries, the Company makes an assertion regarding the amount of earnings intended for permanent reinvestment, with the balance available to be repatriated to the United States.

Total debt at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $12.6 billion and $15.6 billion, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the termination and repayment of the Company's $3 billion Term Loan Facilities in the first quarter of 2021.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company is contractually obligated to make future cash held by foreign subsidiaries for permanent reinvestmentpayments of $12,702 million and $6,457 million associated with principal and interest, respectively, on debt obligations. Related to the principal balance, $2,000 million, which relates to the May 2020 Notes, will be redeemed on May 13, 2021 and the remainder will be due subsequent to March 31, 2022. Related to interest, $525 million will be due in the next twelve months and the remainder will be due subsequent to March 31, 2022. The decrease in debt and interest obligations since December 31, 2020 is due to the release of obligations associated with the N&B Notes Offering that were separated from the Company on February 1, 2021, upon consummation of the N&B Transaction. This resulted in $6,250 million of principal, mostly due subsequent to 2025, and related $2,637 million of future interest obligations being separated from the Company.

Special Cash Payment
In connection with and in accordance with the terms of the N&B Transaction, prior to consummation of the Exchange Offer and the N&B Merger, DuPont received a one-time cash payment of approximately $7.3 billion, (the "Special Cash Payment"), which is subject to post-closing adjustment pursuant to the terms of the N&B Separation and Distribution Agreement. The Company utilized the Special Cash Payment to repay the $3 billion Term Loan Facilities and will use a portion of the Special Cash Payment to redeem the May 2020 Notes, as discussed below.

Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facilities
In November 2018, the Company entered into a term loan agreement that establishes two term loan facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $3 billion, (the “Term Loan Facilities”) as well as a five-year $3 billion revolving credit facility (the “Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility”). Effective May 2, 2019, the Company fully drew the two Term Loan Facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $3.0 billion and the Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility became effective and available. The Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility is generally expected to remain undrawn, and serve as a backstop to the Company’s commercial paper and letter of credit issuance.

On February 1, 2021, the Company terminated its fully drawn $3 billion Term Loan Facilities. The termination triggered the repayment of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of $3 billion, plus accrued and unpaid interest through and including January 31, 2021. The Company funded the repayment with proceeds from the Special Cash Payment.

On April 15, 2021, the Company entered into an updated $1.0 billion 364-day revolving credit facility (the “2021 $1B Revolving Credit Facility") as the $1.0 billion 364-day revolving credit facility entered in April 2020 (the “2020 $1B

Revolving Credit Facility") expired mid-April. As of the effectiveness of the 2021 $1B Revolving Credit Facility, the 2020 $1B Revolving Credit Facility was terminated. The $1B Revolving Credit facility may be used for general corporate purposes.

May Debt Offering

Upon consummation of the N&B Transaction, the special mandatory redemption feature of the May Debt Offering was triggered, requiring the Company to financeredeem all of the subsidiaries' operational activitiesMay 2020 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the May 2020 Notes plus accrued and future foreign investments. A deferred tax liability has been accruedunpaid interest. On May 3, 2021, the Company provided notice that it will redeem the May 2020 Notes on May 13, 2021. The Company will fund the redemption with proceeds from the Special Cash Payment.

Laird Performance Materials
On March 8, 2021, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with Advent International to acquire Laird Performance Materials for $2.3 billion. The acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of 2021, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, and will be part of the Electronic & Industrials segment. The Company intends to pay for the funds that are available to be repatriatedacquisition from existing cash balances.

Capital spending was $2,301$124 million in the first ninethree months of 2017, compared with $2,877 million2020.

Free Cash Flow
The Company defines free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Under this definition, free cash flow represents the cash that remains available to the Company, after investing in its asset base, to fund obligations using the Company's primary source of incremental liquidity - cash provided by operating activities. Free cash flow is an integral financial measure used in the Company's financial planning process. This financial measure is not recognized in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to U.S. GAAP financial measures of performance. All companies do not calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner and, accordingly, the Company's free cash flow definition may not be consistent with the methodologies used by other companies.

For further information relating to the change in cash provided by operating activities, see the discussion above under the section entitled "Cash Flows from Operating Activities."

Rabbi TrustPension and Other Post-Employment Plans
DuPont entered into a trust agreement in 2013 (as amended and restatedexpects to make additional contributions in the third quarteraggregate of 2017) that establishesapproximately $75 million by year-end 2021 to certain non-US pension and requires DuPontother post-employment benefit plans. Any such contribution could be funded by existing cash balances and/or cash from other available sources of liquidity.

Restructuring
In March 2020, the Company approved restructuring actions designed to fund a trust (the "Trust") for cash obligations undercapture near-term cost reductions and to further simplify certain nonqualified benefit and deferred compensation plans upon a change-in-control event as definedorganizational structures in the Trust agreement. Under the Trust agreement, the consummationanticipation of the Merger was a change-in-control event.N&B Transaction (the "2020 Restructuring Program"). As a result within 90 days following August 31, 2017, DuPont is required to contribute toof these actions, the Trust approximately $570 million. DuPont may use one or more sourcesCompany recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of liquidity to fund the contribution. Management is currently evaluating and will finalize the funding source(s) in the fourth quarter$170 million inception-to-date, consisting of 2017.

Pension Plans
Dow and DuPont did not merge their pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans as a result of the Merger. Dow and DuPont have defined benefit pension plans in the United States and a number of other countries. Dow and DuPont’s funding policies are to contribute to defined benefit pension plans in the United States and a number of other countries based on pension funding laws and local country requirements. Contributions exceeding funding requirements may and have been made at Dow and DuPont’s discretion. During the first nine months of 2017, Dow contributed approximately $440 million to its pension plans, including contributions to fund benefit payments for its non-qualified supplemental plans. DuPont contributed $19 million post-Merger to its pension plans, including contributions to fund benefit payments for its non-qualified supplemental plans. Dow expects to contribute approximately $80 million to its pension plans and DuPont expects to contribute approximately $50 million to its pension plans in the remainder of 2017. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning Dow and DuPont’s pension plans.

Dow
The provisions of a U.S. non-qualified pension plan for Dow require the payment of plan obligations to certain participants upon a change in control of the company, which occurred when Dow merged with DuPont. Certain participants can elect to receive a lump-sum payment or direct Dow to purchase an annuity on their behalf. In the fourth quarter of 2017, Dow expects to make payments of approximately $900 million and record a settlement charge of approximately $450 million, subject to fourth quarter participant annuity elections, which could materially impact the projected payments and settlement charge once known and quantifiable. On October 6, 2017, Dow transferred $410 million to an insurance company in anticipation of annuity purchases for plan participants who will receive a lump sum distribution of their plan benefits as a result of the plan's change in control provision and who elect to direct Dow to purchase an annuity on their behalf using the after-tax proceeds of the lump sum. All transactions are expected to be completed by December 31, 2017.

DuPont
Prior to the Merger, DuPont made total contributions of $2.9 billion to its principal U.S pension plan in 2017, reflecting discretionary contributions. The $2.9 billion contribution was taken as a deduction on DuPont’s 2016 federal tax return and resulted in a net operating loss for tax purposes. This loss generated an overpayment of taxes of approximately $800 million. A portion of the overpayment will be applied against the current year tax liability. The remainder of the loss generated a refund of approximately $700 million, which was received during the fourth quarter of 2017.

Restructuring and Asset Related Charges - Net
DowDuPont Cost Synergy Program
The third quarter of 2017 activities related to the DowDuPont Cost Synergy Program ("Synergy Program") are expected to result in additional cash expenditures of approximately $150 million, primarily through September 30, 2019, related to severance and related benefit costs (see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company expects to incur additional costs in the future related to its restructuring activities, as the Company continually looks for ways to enhance the efficiencyof $118 million and cost effectiveness of its operations, and to ensure competitiveness across its businesses and geographic areas. Future costs are expected to include demolition costs related to closed facilities and restructuring plan implementation costs; these costs will be recognized as incurred. The Company also expects to incur additional employee-related costs, including involuntary termination benefits, related to its other optimization activities. These costs cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

On November 1, 2017, DowDuPont's Board approved restructuring actions under the Synergy Program. The Company expects to record total pretax restructuring charges of about $2 billion, comprised of approximately $875 million to $975 million of severance and related benefits costs; $450 million to $800 million of asset related charges and $400 million to $450 million of costs related to contract terminations. Current estimated total pretax restructuring charges includes the $180 million recorded in the third quarter of 2017, comprised of severance and related benefit costs. The Company expects to record pretax restructuring charges of approximately $1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2017,$52 million. Actions associated with the remaining restructuring charges to be incurred by the end of 2019. The Synergy2020 Restructuring Program includes certain asset actions, including strategic decisions regarding the cellulosic biofuel business reflected in the preliminary fair value measurement of DuPont’s assets as of the merger date. Current estimated total pretax restructuring charges could be impacted by future adjustments to the preliminary fair value of DuPont’s assets.are considered substantially complete. Future cash

Dow's other noncurrent obligations did not change significantly from December 31, 2016 and as such, the table above reflects the amounts at December 31, 2016, adjusted to conform to the presentation adopted for DowDuPont. DuPont's other noncurrent obligations are as of September 30, 2017. The table excludes uncertain tax positions of $668 million due to uncertainties in the timing of the effective settlement of tax positions with the respective taxing authorities. The table also excludes deferred tax liabilities of $9,125 million as it is impractical to determine whether there will be a cash impact related to these liabilities.

The Subsidiaries expect to meet their contractual obligations through their normal sources of liquidity and believe they have the financial resources to satisfy these contractual obligations.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
Off-balance sheet arrangements are obligations the Subsidiaries have with nonconsolidated entities related to transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements. The Subsidiaries hold variable interests in joint ventures accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Subsidiaries are not the primary beneficiaries of these joint ventures and therefore are not required to consolidate the entities (see Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). In addition, see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the transfer of financial assets.

Guarantees arise duringin the ordinary course of business from relationships with customers and nonconsolidated affiliates when the Subsidiaries undertakeCompany undertakes an obligation to guarantee the performance of others if specific triggering events occur. The Subsidiaries had combined outstanding guarantees at September 30, 2017 of $6,136 million, compared with $6,043 million atAt March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016.2020, the Company had directly guaranteed $180 million and $189 million, respectively, of such obligations. Additional information related to the guarantees of the Subsidiaries can be found in the “Guarantees” section of Note 1314 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements.


Fair Value Measurements
See Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning fair value measurements, including the Company’s interests held in trade receivable conduits.


OTHER MATTERS
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. DowDuPont’s critical accounting policies that are impacted by judgments, assumptions and estimates are described below.

Litigation
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to legal proceedings and claims arising out of the normal course of business including product liability, patent infringement, governmental regulation, contract and commercial litigation, and other actions. The Company routinely assesses the legal and factual circumstances of each matter, the likelihood of any adverse outcomes to these matters, as well as ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of the reserves required, if any, for these contingencies is made after thoughtful analysis of each known claim. The Company has an active risk management program consisting of numerous insurance policies secured from many carriers covering various timeframes. These policies may provide coverage that could be utilized to minimize the financial impact, if any, of certain contingencies. The required reserves may change in the future due to new developments in each matter.

Asbestos-Related Matters of Union Carbide Corporation
Union Carbide Corporation ("Union Carbide"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Dow, is and has been involved in a large number of asbestos-related suits filed primarily in state courts during the past four decades. These suits principally allege personal injury resulting from exposure to asbestos-containing products and frequently seek both actual and punitive damages. The alleged claims primarily relate to products that Union Carbide sold in the past, alleged exposure to asbestos-containing products located on Union Carbide’s premises, and Union Carbide’s responsibility for asbestos suits filed against a former Union Carbide subsidiary, Amchem Products, Inc. ("Amchem"). Each year, Ankura Consulting Group, LLC ("Ankura") performs a review for Union Carbide based upon historical asbestos claims, resolution and historical defense spending. Union Carbide compares current asbestos claim, resolution and defense spending activity to the results of the most recent Ankura study at each balance sheet date to determine whether the asbestos-related liability continues to be appropriate.

Environmental Matters
The Company determines the costs of environmental remediation of its facilities and formerly owned facilities based on evaluations of current law and existing technologies. Inherent uncertainties exist in such evaluations primarily due to unknown environmental conditions, changing governmental regulations and legal standards regarding liability, and emerging remediation technologies. The recorded liabilities are adjusted periodically as remediation efforts progress, or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. At September 30, 2017, the Company had accrued obligations of $1,339 million for probable environmental remediation and restoration costs, including $229 million for the remediation of Superfund sites. This is management’s best estimate of the costs for remediation and restoration with respect to environmental matters for which the Company has accrued liabilities, although it is reasonably possible that the ultimate cost with respect to these particular matters could range up to approximately two times that amount.

Goodwill
The Company assesses goodwill recoverability through business financial performance reviews, enterprise valuation analysis and impairment tests. Annual goodwill impairment tests are completed by the Company during the fourth quarter of the year in accordance with the measurement provisions of the accounting guidance for goodwill. The tests are performed at the reporting unit level which is defined as one level below operating segment with the exception of Agriculture, which is both an operating segment and a reporting unit. Reporting units are the level at which discrete financial information is available and reviewed by business management on a regular basis.

In addition to the annual goodwill impairment tests, the Company reviews the financial performance of its reporting units over the course of the year to assess whether circumstances have changed that would indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit has declined below its carrying value. In cases where an indication of impairment is determined to exist, the Company completes an interim goodwill impairment test specifically for that reporting unit.

As part of its annual goodwill impairment testing, the Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The qualitative assessment is also used as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative test. Qualitative factors assessed at the Company level include, but are not limited to, GDP growth rates, long-term hydrocarbon and energy prices, equity and credit market activity, discount rates, foreign exchange rates and overall financial performance. Qualitative factors assessed at the reporting unit level include, but are not limited to, changes in industry and market structure, competitive environments, planned


capacity and new product launches, cost factors such as raw material prices, and financial performance of the reporting unit. If the Company chooses to not complete a qualitative assessment for a given reporting unit or if the initial assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, additional quantitative testing is required.

The first step of the quantitative test requires the fair value of the reporting unit to be compared with its carrying value. The Company utilizes a discounted cash flow methodology to calculate the fair value of its reporting units. This valuation technique has been selected by management as the most meaningful valuation method due to the limited number of market comparables for the Company's reporting units. However, where market comparables are available, the Company includes EBIT/EBITDA multiples as part of the reporting unit valuation analysis. The discounted cash flow valuations are completed using the following key assumptions (including certain ranges used for the 2016 testing): projected revenue growth rates, or compounded annual growth rates, over a ten-year cash flow forecast period, which ranged from 4.9 percent to 6.4 percent and varied by reporting unit based on underlying business fundamentals and future expectations; discount rates, which ranged from 8.9 percent to 9.5 percent; tax rates; terminal values, differentiated based on the cash flow projection of each reporting unit and the projected net operating profit after tax ("NOPAT") growth rate, which ranged from 2 percent to 3.5 percent; currency exchange rates; and forecasted long-term hydrocarbon and energy prices, by geographic area and by year, which included the Company's key feedstocks as well as natural gas and crude oil (due to its correlation to naphtha). Currency exchange rates and long-term hydrocarbon and energy prices are established for the Company as a whole and applied consistently to all reporting units, while revenue growth rates, discount rates and tax rates are established by reporting unit to account for differences in business fundamentals and industry risk.

The second step of the quantitative test is required if the first step of the quantitative test indicates a potential impairment. The second step requires the Company to compare the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of goodwill. If the carrying amount of goodwill is greater than its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recorded.

The Company also monitors and evaluates its market capitalization relative to book value. When the market capitalization of the Company falls below book value, management undertakes a process to evaluate whether a change in circumstances has occurred that would indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of any of its reporting units has declined below carrying value. This evaluation process includes the use of third-party market-based valuations and internal discounted cash flow analysis. As part of the annual goodwill impairment test, the Company also compares market capitalization with the most recent total estimated fair value of its reporting units to ensure that significant differences are understood.

As part of its 2016 annual goodwill impairment testing, Dow performed additional sensitivity analysis which indicated that the fair value of the Dow Coating Materials reporting unit (now part of Coatings & Performance Monomers) did not significantly exceed its carrying amount. Dow has continued to monitor the performance of the Coatings & Performance Monomers reporting unit, as benchmarked against its long-term financial plan, and evaluates industry and company-specific circumstances which affect the financial results of this reporting unit, including customer consolidation, changes in demand growth in certain end-markets, fluctuations in sales growth in emerging geographies and results of new product launches. At September 30, 2017, the Company concluded that no events or changes in circumstances have occurred which would indicate that the fair value of the Coatings & Performance Monomers reporting unit has more likely than not been reduced below its carrying amount.  

The long-term financial plan for the Coatings & Performance Monomers reporting unit, which underlies the above conclusion, contains numerous assumptions including, but not limited to: expected market growth rates; success of sales and marketing efforts; commercialization of innovation programs; benefit of cost reduction programs; availability of capital and expense resources to execute growth initiatives; impact of competitor actions; industry supply and demand balances; and, macroeconomic factors such as foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. If the Coatings & Performance Monomers reporting unit does not achieve the financial performance that the Company expects, it is reasonably possible that an impairment of goodwill may result. An annual goodwill impairment test for the Coatings & Performance Monomers reporting unit will be completed during the fourth quarter of 2017. At September 30, 2017, the Coatings & Performance Monomers reporting unit had goodwill of $2,509 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company is planning to early adopt Accounting Standards Update 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment," as part of the annual goodwill impairment testing. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.



Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
The amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements related to pension and other postretirement benefits are determined from actuarial valuations. Inherent in these valuations are assumptions including expected return on plan assets, discount rates at which the liabilities could have been settled, rate of increase in future compensation levels, mortality rates and health care cost trend rates. These assumptions are updated annually. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, affect expense recognized and obligations recorded in future periods. The U.S. pension plans represent the majority of Dow and DuPont’s pension plan assets and pension obligations.

The following information relates to Dow and DuPont's U.S. plans only; a similar approach is used for Dow and DuPont's non-U.S. plans. Dow and DuPont determine the expected long-term rate of return on assets by performing a detailed analysis of historical and expected returns based on the strategic asset allocation and the underlying return fundamentals of each asset class. The historical experience of the pension fund asset performance is also considered. The expected return of each asset class is derived from a forecasted future return confirmed by historical experience. The expected long-term rate of return is an assumption and not what is expected to be earned in any one particular year. Future actual pension expense will depend on future investment performance, changes in future discount rates and various other factors related to the population of participants in the Company’s pension plans.

The discount rates utilized to measure the pension and other postretirement obligations of the U.S. plans are based on the yield on high-quality corporate fixed income investments at the measurement date. Future expected actuarially determined cash flows for Dow’s U.S. plans are individually discounted at the spot rates under the Willis Towers Watson U.S. RATE:Link 60-90 corporate yield curve to arrive at the plan’s obligations as of the measurement date. DuPont utilized spot rates under the Aon Hewitt AA_Above Median yield curve to arrive at the plan’s obligations as of the measurement date.

Dow and DuPont use generational mortality tables to value their U.S. pension and other postretirement obligations.

The following discussion relates to the Company’s U.S. pension plans. Dow and DuPont base the determination of pension expense on a market-related valuation of plan assets that reduces year-to-year volatility. For Dow, this market-related valuation recognizes investment gains or losses over a five-year period from the year in which they occur. For DuPont, the market-related value of assets is calculated by averaging market returns over 36 months. As a result, changes in the fair value of assets are not immediately reflected in the Company’s calculation of net periodic pension cost. Over the life of the plans, both gains and losses have been recognized and amortized.

Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, applying enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Based on the evaluation of available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company recognizes future tax benefits, such as net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards, to the extent that realizing these benefits is considered to be more likely than not.

In evaluating the ability to realize the deferred tax assets, the Company relies on, in order of increasing subjectivity, taxable income in prior carryback years, the future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, tax planning strategies and forecasted taxable income using historical and projected future operating results.

The Company recognizes the financial statement effects of an uncertain income tax position when it is more likely than not, based on technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination.

The Company accrues for non-income tax contingencies when it is probable that a liability to a taxing authority has been incurred and the amount of the contingency can be reasonably estimated.

Indemnification Assets
Pursuant to the Separation Agreement between DuPont and The Chemours Company ("Chemours") discussed in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, DuPont is indemnified by Chemours against certain litigation, environmental, workers' compensation and other liabilities that arose prior to the separation. The term of this indemnification is indefinite and includes defense costs and expenses, as well as monetary and non-monetary settlements and judgments. In connection with the recognition of liabilities related to these indemnified matters, DuPont records an indemnification asset when recovery is deemed probable. In assessing the probability of recovery, DuPont considers the contractual rights under the Separation Agreement and any potential credit risk. Future events, such as potential disputes related to recovery as well as solvency of Chemours, could cause the indemnification assets to have a lower value than anticipated and recorded. The Company evaluates the recovery of the indemnification assets recorded when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying values may not be fully recoverable.



Asbestos-Related Matters of Union Carbide Corporation
Union Carbide is and has been involved in a large number of asbestos-related suits filed primarily in state courts during the past four decades. These suits principally allege personal injury resulting from exposure to asbestos-containing products and frequently seek both actual and punitive damages. The alleged claims primarily relate to products that Union Carbide sold in the past, alleged exposure to asbestos-containing products located on Union Carbide’s premises, and Union Carbide’s responsibility for asbestos suits filed against a former Union Carbide subsidiary, Amchem. In many cases, plaintiffs are unable to demonstrate that they have suffered any compensable loss as a result of such exposure, or that injuries incurred in fact resulted from exposure to Union Carbide’s products.

The table below provides information regarding asbestos-related claims pending against Union Carbide and Amchem based on criteria developed by Union Carbide and its external consultants.

ItemITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
DowDuPont's risk management programs are managed separately by its subsidiaries, DowSee Note 20 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements. See also Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and DuPont. Dow and DuPont have historically utilized different methods to report their quantitativeQualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, of the Company's 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information about market risk. Dow uses a value-at-risk approach while DuPont uses sensitivity analysis. Both methods are acceptable under Regulation S-K and are viewed as equally effective from a risk monitoring perspective. Ason the risk management programs for both subsidiaries will continue to be managed separately, the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk will be provided for each subsidiary, as discussed below.

Dow
Dow’s business operations give rise to market risk exposure due to changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices and other market factors such as equity prices. To manage such risks effectively, Dow enters into hedging transactions, pursuant to established guidelines and policies, that enable it to mitigate the adverse effectsCompany's utilization of financial market risk. Derivatives used for this purpose are designated as hedges per the accounting guidance related to derivatives and hedging activities, where appropriate. A secondary objective is to add value by creating additional non-specific exposure within established limits and policies; derivatives used for this purpose are not designated as hedges. The potential impact of creating such additional exposures is not material to Dow’s results.

The global nature of Dow’s business requires active participation in the foreign exchange markets. As a result of investments, production facilities and other operations on a global basis, Dow has assets, liabilities and cash flows in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The primary objective of Dow’s foreign exchange risk management is to optimize the U.S. dollar value of net assets and cash flows, keeping the adverse impact of currency movements to a minimum. To achieve this objective, Dow hedges on a net exposure basis using foreign currency forward contracts, over-the-counter option contracts, cross-currency swaps, and nonderivative instruments in foreign currencies. Exposures primarily relate to assets, liabilities and bonds denominated in foreign currencies, as well as economic exposure, which is derived from the risk that currency fluctuations could affect the dollar value of future cash flows related to operating activities. The largest exposures are denominated in European currencies, the Japanese yen and the Chinese yuan, although exposures also exist in other currencies of Asia Pacific, Canada, Latin America, Middle East, Africa and India.

The main objective of interest rate risk management is to reduce the total funding cost to Dow and to alter the interest rate exposure to the desired risk profile. Dow uses interest rate swaps, “swaptions,” and exchange-traded instruments to accomplish this objective. Dow’s primary exposure is to the U.S. dollar yield curve.

Dow has a portfolio of equity securities derived primarily from the investment activities of its insurance subsidiaries. This exposure is managed in a manner consistent with Dow’s market risk policies and procedures.

Inherent in Dow’s business is exposure to price changes for several commodities. Some exposures can be hedged effectively through liquid tradable financial instruments. Feedstocks for ethylene production and natural gas constitute the main commodity exposures. Over-the-counter and exchange traded instruments are used to hedge these risks, when feasible.

Dow uses value-at-risk (“VAR”), stress testing and scenario analysis for risk measurement and control purposes. VAR estimates the maximum potential loss in fair market values, given a certain move in prices over a certain period of time, using specified confidence levels. The VAR methodology used by Dow is a variance/covariance model. This model uses a 97.5 percent confidence level and includes at least one year of historical data. The September 30, 2017, 2016 year-end and 2016 average daily VAR for the aggregate of all positions are shown below. These amounts are immaterial relative to the total equity of Dow.

Dow’s daily VAR for the aggregate of all positions increased from a composite VAR of $151 million at December 31, 2016, to a composite VAR of $156 million at September 30, 2017. Commodities and foreign exchange VAR increased due to an increase in long-term managed exposures. Equity securities VAR decreased due to a reduction in managed exposures and a decline in equity volatility. The interest rate VAR decreased due to a drop in yield volatility.

DuPont
DuPont’s global operations are exposed to financial market risks relating to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. DuPont has established a variety of programs including use of derivative instruments and other financial instruments to manage the exposure to financial market risks as to minimize volatility of financial results. In the ordinary course of business, DuPont enters into derivative instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign currency, interest rate and commodity price risks under established procedures and controls. Decisions regarding whether or not to hedge a given commitment are made on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the amount and durationan analysis of the exposure, market volatility and economic trends.sensitivity of these instruments.


Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risks
DuPont has significant international operations resulting in a large number of currency transactions that result from international sales, purchases, investments and borrowings. The primary currencies for which DuPont has an exchange rate exposure are the European euro, Chinese yuan, Brazilian real and Japanese yen. DuPont uses forward exchange contracts to offset its net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations. In addition to the contracts disclosed in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, from time to time, DuPont will enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to establish with certainty the U.S. dollar amount of future firm commitments denominated in a foreign currency.

The following table illustrates the fair values of outstanding foreign currency contracts at September 30, 2017 and the effect on fair values of a hypothetical adverse change in the foreign exchange rates that existed at September 30, 2017. The sensitivities for foreign currency contracts are based on a 10 percent adverse change in foreign exchange rates.

Since DuPont's risk management programs are highly effective, the potential loss in value for each risk management portfolio described above would be largely offset by changes in the value of the underlying exposure.

Concentration of Credit Risk
DuPont maintains cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, derivatives and certain other financial instruments with various financial institutions. These financial institutions are generally highly rated and geographically dispersed and DuPont has a policy to limit the dollar amount of credit exposure with any one institution.

As part of DuPont's financial risk management processes, it continuously evaluates the relative credit standing of all of the financial institutions that service DuPont and monitors actual exposures versus established limits. DuPont has not sustained credit losses from instruments held at financial institutions.

DuPont's sales are not materially dependent on any single customer. At September 30, 2017, no one individual customer balance represented more than five percent of DuPont's total outstanding receivables balance. Credit risk associated with its receivables balance is representative of the geographic, industry and customer diversity associated with DuPont's global businesses.

DuPont also maintains strong credit controls in evaluating and granting customer credit. As a result, it may require that customers provide some type of financial guarantee in certain circumstances. Length of terms for customer credit varies by industry and region.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
DowDuPont May Fail to Realize the Anticipated Benefits of the Merger. Combining the Businesses of DuPont and Dow May Be More Difficult, Costly or Time-Consuming than Expected, Which May Adversely Affect DowDuPont's Results and Negatively Affect the Value of DowDuPont Common Stock.
The success of the Merger depends on, among other things, DowDuPont's ability to combine the DuPont and Dow businesses in a manner that facilitates the intended separation of the Company's agriculture, materials science and specialty products businesses and realizes anticipated synergies. DowDuPont expects to benefit from significant cost synergies at both the business and corporate levels, including through the achievement of production cost efficiencies, enhancement of the agricultural supply chain, elimination of duplicative agricultural research and development programs, optimization of the combined Company’s global footprint across manufacturing, sales and research and development in the materials science business, optimizing action of manufacturing in the electronics space, the reduction of corporate and leveraged services costs, and the realization of significant procurement synergies. Management also expects the combined Company will achieve growth synergies and other meaningful savings and benefits as a result of the intended business separations.

The combination of DuPont and Dow's independent businesses is a complex, costly and time consuming process and the management of DowDuPont may face significant challenges in implementing such integration, many of which may be beyond the control of management, including, without limitation:

ongoing diversion of the attention of management from the operation of the combined company’s business as a result of the intended business separations;
impact of portfolio changes between materials science and specialty products on integration activities;
difficulties in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, business opportunities and growth prospects;
the possibility of faulty assumptions underlying expectations regarding the integration process, including with respect to the intended tax efficient transactions;
unanticipated issues in integrating information technology, communications programs, financial procedures and operations, and other systems, procedures and policies;
difficulties in managing a larger combined company, addressing differences in business culture and retaining key personnel;
unanticipated changes in applicable laws and regulations;
managing tax costs or inefficiencies associated with integrating the operations of the combined company and the intended tax efficient separation transactions; and
coordinating geographically separate organizations.

Some of these factors will be outside of the control of DowDuPont and any one of them could result in increased costs and diversion of management’s time and energy, as well as decreases in the amount of expected revenue which could materially impact DowDuPont's business, financial conditions and results of operations. The integration process and other disruptions resulting from the Merger may also adversely affect the combined company’s relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, distributors, licensors and others with whom DuPont and DowThere have business or other dealings, and difficulties in integrating the businesses or regulatory functions of DuPont and Dow could harm the reputation of DowDuPont.

If DowDuPont is not able to successfully combine the businesses of DuPont and Dow in an efficient, cost-effective and timely manner, the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the Merger (including the intended business separations) may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected, and the value of DowDuPont common stock, the revenues, levels of expenses and results of operations may be affected adversely. A variety of factors may adversely affect the Company's ability to realize the currently expected synergies, savings and other benefits of the Merger, including failure to successfully optimize the combined Company's facilities footprint, the failure to take advantage of the combined Company's global supply chain, the failure to identify and eliminate duplicative programs, and the failure to otherwise integrate Dow's or DuPont's respective businesses, including their technology platforms.

DowDuPont Will Incur Significant Costs in Connection with the Integration of Dow and DuPont.
There are a large number of processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies and systems that must be integrated in connection with the Merger. While both DuPont and Dow have assumed that a certain level of expenses would be incurred in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, there are many factors beyond their control that could affect the total amount of, or the timing of, anticipated expenses with respect to the integration and implementation of the combined businesses.

There may also be additional unanticipated significant costs in connection with the Merger that DowDuPont may not recoup. These costs and expenses could reduce the benefits and additional income DowDuPont expects to achieve from the Merger.

Although DowDuPont expects that these benefits will offset the transaction expenses and implementation costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term or at all.

The Determination to Proceed with the Intended Business Separations is a Decision of the DowDuPont Board of Directors and the Expected Benefits of Such Transactions, if They Occur, Will Be Uncertain.
DowDuPont intends to pursue the separation of the combined company’s agriculture, materials science and specialty products businesses through one or more tax-efficient transactions (the "Intended Business Separations"), resulting in three independent, publicly traded companies. However, in the event that the DowDuPont board determines to proceed with the Intended Business Separations, it is currently anticipated that any such Intended Business Separation transaction would be effectuated through one or more pro-rata spin-off transactions, in which DowDuPont stockholders, at such time, would receive shares of capital stock in the resulting spin-off company or companies. The DowDuPont board may ultimately determine to abandon one or more of the Intended Business Separation transactions, and such determination could have an adverse impact on DowDuPont. There are many factors that could, prior to the determination by the DowDuPont board to proceed with the Intended Business Separations, impact the structure or timing of, the anticipated benefits from, or determination to ultimately proceed with, the intended business separations, including, among others, global economic conditions, instability in credit markets, declining consumer and business confidence, fluctuating commodity prices and interest rates, volatile exchange rates, tax considerations, and other challenges that could affect the global economy, specific market conditions in one or more of the industries of the businesses proposed to be separated, andbeen no material changes in the regulatory or legal environment. Such changes could adversely impact the value of one or more of the Intended Business Separation transactions to the combined company’s stockholders. Additionally, to the extent the DowDuPont board determines to proceed with the Intended Business Separations, the consummation of such transactions is a complex, costly and time-consuming process, and there can be no guaranty that the intended benefits of such transactions will be achieved. An inability to realize the full extent of the anticipated benefits of the intended business separations, as well as any delays encountered in the process, could have an adverse effect upon the revenues, level of expenses and operating results of the agriculture business, the specialty products business, the materials science business and/or the combined company.

Inability to Access the Debt Capital Markets Could Impair DowDuPont's Liquidity, Business or Financial Condition.
Each of DuPont and Dow has relied and continues to rely on access to the debt capital markets to finance their day-to-day and long-term operations. Dow and DuPont do not intend for DowDuPont to incur debt obligations or guarantee the debt obligations of Dow or DuPont. Any limitation on the part of either Dow’s or DuPont’s ability to raise money in the debt markets could have a substantial negative effect on their respective liquidity. Access to the debt capital markets in amounts adequate to finance each company’s activities could be impaired as a result of the existence of material nonpublic information about the intended business separations and other potentialCompany's risk factors including factors that are not specific to the companies, such as a severe disruption of the financial markets and interest rate fluctuations.

Prior to the Intended Business Separations, if pursued, the costs and availability of financing for DowDuPont from the debt capital markets will be dependent on credit ratings of each of Dow and DuPont. The level and quality of the respective earnings, operations, business and management, among other things, of each of Dow and DuPont will impact their respective credit ratings and those of the combined company. A decrease in the ratings assigned to Dow or DuPont by the ratings agencies may negatively impact their access to the debt capital markets and increase the combined company’s cost of borrowing. There can be no assurance that Dow and DuPont will maintain their current credit worthiness or prospective credit ratings. Any actual or anticipated changes or downgrades in such credit ratings may have a negative impact on the liquidity, capital position or access to capital markets of Dow and DuPont and, therefore, DowDuPont.

DowDuPont Will Be Exposed to the Risks Related to International Sales and Operations.
DuPont and Dow each derive a large portion of their total sales and revenue from operations outside of the United States. Therefore, DowDuPont will have exposure to risks of operating in many foreign countries, including:

difficulties and costs associated with complying with a wide variety of complex laws, treaties and regulations;
unexpected changes in political or regulatory environments;
labor compliance and costs associated with a global workforce;
earnings and cash flows that may be subject to tax withholding requirements or the imposition of tariffs;
exchange controls or other restrictions;
restrictions on, or difficulties and costs associated with, the repatriation of cash from foreign countries to the United States;
political and economic instability;
import and export restrictions and other trade barriers;
difficulties in maintaining overseas subsidiaries and international operations;
difficulties in obtaining approval for significant transactions;
government limitations on foreign ownership;

government takeover or nationalization of business;
government mandated price controls; and
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Any one or more of the above factors could adversely affect the international operations of the combined company and could significantly affect the combined company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Availability of Purchased Feedstocks and Energy, and the Volatility of these Costs, Impact the Company's Operating Costs and Add Variability to Earnings.
The Company purchases hydrocarbon raw materials including ethane, propane, butane, naphtha and condensate as feedstocks. The Company also purchases certain monomers, primarily ethylene and propylene, to supplement internal production, as well as other raw materials. The Company purchases natural gas, primarily to generate electricity, and purchases electric power to supplement internal generation.

Feedstock and energy costs generally follow price trends in crude oil and natural gas, which are sometimes volatile. While the Company uses its feedstock flexibility and financial and physical hedging programs to help mitigate feedstock cost increases, the Company is not always able to immediately raise selling prices. Ultimately, the ability to pass on underlying cost increases is dependent on market conditions. Conversely, when feedstock and energy costs decline, selling prices generally decline as well. As a result, volatility in these costs could impact the Company’s results of operations.

The Company has a number of investments in the U.S. Gulf Coast to take advantage of increasing supplies of low-cost natural gas and natural gas liquids ("NGLs") derived from shale gas including: construction of a new on-purpose propylene production facility, which commenced operations in December 2015; completion of a major maintenance turnaround in December 2016 at an ethylene production facility in Plaquemine, Louisiana, which included expanding the facility's ethylene production capacity by up to 250 KTA and modifications to enable full ethane cracking flexibility; and construction of a new world-scale ethylene production facility in Freeport, Texas, which commenced start-up in the third quarter of 2017. As a result of these investments, the Company's exposure to purchased ethylene and propylene is expected to decline, offset by increased exposure to ethane and propane feedstocks.

While the Company expects abundant and cost-advantaged supplies of NGLs in the United States to persist for the foreseeable future, if NGLs were to become significantly less advantaged than crude oil-based feedstocks, it could have a negative impact on the Company’s results of operations and future investments. Also, if the Company’s key suppliers of feedstocks and energy are unable to provide the raw materials required for production, it could have a negative impact on the Company's results of operations.

Earnings Generated by the Company's Products Vary Baseddiscussed in Part on the Balance of Supply Relative to Demand within the Industry.
The balance of supply relative to demand within the industry may be significantly impacted by the addition of new capacity, especially for basic commodities where capacity is generally added in large increments as world-scale facilities are built. This may disrupt industry balances and result in downward pressure on prices due to the increase in supply, which could negatively impact the Company's results of operations.

The Costs of Complying with Evolving Regulatory Requirements Could Negatively Impact the Company's Financial Results. Actual or Alleged Violations of Environmental Laws or Permit Requirements Could Result in Restrictions or Prohibitions on Plant Operations, Substantial Civil or Criminal Sanctions, as well as the Assessment of Strict Liability and/or Joint and Several Liability.
The Company is subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign laws, regulations, rules and ordinances relating to pollution, protection of the environment, greenhouse gas emissions, and the generation, storage, handling, transportation, treatment, disposal and remediation of hazardous substances and waste materials. Costs and capital expenditures relating to environmental, health or safety matters are subject to evolving regulatory requirements and depend on the timing of the promulgation and enforcement of specific standards which impose the requirements. Moreover, changes in environmental regulations could inhibit or interrupt the Company's operations, or require modifications to its facilities. Accordingly, environmental, health or safety regulatory matters could result in significant unanticipated costs or liabilities.

Increased Concerns Regarding the Safe use of Chemicals in Commerce and their Potential Impact on the Environment as well as Perceived Impacts of Biotechnology on Health and the Environment have Resulted in More Restrictive Regulations and could Lead to New Regulations.
Concerns regarding the safe use of chemicals in commerce and their potential impact on health and the environment and the perceived impacts of biotechnology on health and the environment reflect a growing trend in societal demands for increasing levels of product safety and environmental protection. These concerns could manifest themselves in stockholder proposals, preferred purchasing, delays or failures in obtaining or retaining regulatory approvals, delayed product launches, lack of market acceptance, continued pressure for more stringent regulatory intervention and litigation. These concerns could also influence public perceptions, the viability or continued sales of certain of the Company's products, the Company's reputation and the cost to comply with regulations. In addition, terrorist attacks and natural disasters have increased concerns about the security and safety of chemical production and distribution. These concerns could have a negative impact on the Company's results of operations.

To maintain its right to produce or sell existing products or to commercialize new products containing biotechnology traits, particularly seed products, the Company must be able to demonstrate its ability to satisfy the requirements of regulatory agencies. Sales into and use of seeds with biotechnology traits in jurisdictions where cultivation has been approved could be affected if key import markets have not approved the import of grains, food and food ingredients and other products derived from those seeds. If import of grains, food and food ingredients and other products derived from those seeds containing such biotechnology traits occurs in these markets, it could lead to disruption in trade and potential liability for the Company.

In addition, the Company’s regulatory compliance could be affected by the detection of low level presence of biotechnology traits in conventional seed or products produced from such seed. Furthermore, the detection of biotechnology traits not approved in the country of cultivation may affect the Company’s ability to supply product and could affect exports of products produced from such seeds and even result in crop destruction or product recalls.

Local, state, federal and foreign governments continue to propose new regulations related to the security of chemical plant locations and the transportation of hazardous chemicals, which could result in higher operating costs.

A Significant Operational Event could Negatively Impact the Company's Results of Operations.
The Company's operations, the transportation of products, cyber attacks, or severe weather conditions and other natural phenomena (such as drought, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, etc.) could result in an unplanned event that could be significant in scale and could negatively impact operations, neighbors or the public at large, which could have a negative impact on the Company's results of operations.

Major hurricanes have caused significant disruption in the Company's operations on the U.S. Gulf Coast, logistics across the region, and the supply of certain raw materials, which had an adverse impact on volume and cost for some of the Company's products. Due to the Company's substantial presence on the U.S. Gulf Coast, similar severe weather conditions or other natural phenomena in the future could negatively impact the Company's results of operations.

TheI, Item 1A, Risk of Loss of the Company’s Intellectual Property, Trade Secrets or other Sensitive Business Information or Disruption of Operations could Negatively Impact the Company’s Financial Results.
Cyber-attacks or security breaches could compromise confidential, business critical information, cause a disruptionFactors, in the Company’s operations or harmAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the Company's reputation. The Company has attractive information assets, including intellectual property, trade secrets and other sensitive, business critical information. While the Company has a comprehensive cyber security program that is continuously reviewed, maintained and upgraded, a significant cyber-attack could result in the loss of critical business information and/or could negatively impact operations, which could have a negative impact on the Company’s financial results.year ended December 31, 2020.


Implementing Certain Elements of the Company's Strategy could Negatively Impact the Company's Financial Results.
The Company currently has manufacturing operations, sales and marketing activities, joint ventures, as well as proposed and existing projects of varying size in emerging geographies. Activities in these geographic areas are accompanied by uncertainty and risks including: navigating different government regulatory environments; relationships with new, local partners; project funding commitments and guarantees; expropriation, military actions, war, terrorism and political instability; sabotage; uninsurable risks; suppliers not performing as expected, resulting in increased risk of extended project timelines; and determining raw material supply and other details regarding product movement. If the manufacturing operations, sales and marketing activities, and/or implementation of these projects is not successful, it could adversely affect the Company's financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.


An Impairment of Goodwill or Intangible Assets could Negatively Impact the Company's Financial Results.
At least annually, the Company assesses both goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. If an initial qualitative assessment identifies that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, additional quantitative testing is performed. The Company may also elect to skip the qualitative testing and proceed directly to quantitative testing. If the quantitative testing indicates that goodwill is impaired, the carrying value of goodwill is written down to fair value with a charge against earnings. Since the Company utilizes a discounted cash flow methodology to calculate the fair value of its reporting units, continued weak demand for a specific product line or business could result in an impairment. Accordingly, any determination requiring the write-off of a significant portion of goodwill could negatively impact the Company's results of operations.

As a result of the Merger and the related acquisition method of accounting, which resulted in DuPont's assets and liabilities being measured at fair value, the Company's goodwill increased by $45.5 billion and the Company's intangible assets increased by $27.8 billion. Future impairments of either could be recorded in results of operations due to changes in assumptions, estimates or circumstances and there can be no assurance that such impairments would be immaterial to the Company, Dow or DuPont.

Increased Obligations and Expenses related to Dow and DuPont's Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans could Negatively Impact DowDuPont's Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The Company's subsidiaries, Dow and DuPont, have defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans (the “plans”) in the United States and a number of other countries. The assets of the Dow and DuPont funded plans are primarily invested in fixed income and equity securities of U.S. and foreign issuers. Changes in the market value of plan assets, investment returns, discount rates, mortality rates, regulations and the rate of increase in compensation levels may affect the funded status of the Dow and DuPont plans and could cause volatility in the net periodic benefit cost, future funding requirements of the plans and the funded status of the plans. A significant increase in Dow and DuPont's obligations or future funding requirements could have a negative impact on the Company's results of operations and cash flows for a particular period and on the Company's financial condition.

Unpredictable Seasonal and Weather Factors Could Impact Sales and Earnings from the Company’s Agriculture Segment.
The agriculture industry is subject to seasonal and weather factors, which can vary unpredictably from period to period. Weather factors can affect the presence of disease and pests on a regional basis and, accordingly, can positively or adversely affect the demand for crop protection products, including the mix of products used. The weather also can affect the quality, volume and cost of seed produced for sale as well as demand and product mix. Seed yields can be higher or lower than planned, which could lead to higher inventory and related write-offs and affect the ability to supply.

Inability to Discover, Develop and Protect New Technologies and Enforce the Company's Intellectual Property Rights Could Adversely Affect the Company's Financial Results.
The Company competes with major global companies that have strong intellectual property estates, including intellectual property rights supporting the use of biotechnology to enhance products, particularly agricultural and bio-based products. Speed in discovering, developing and protecting new technologies and bringing related products to market is a significant competitive advantage. Failure to predict and respond effectively to this competition could cause the Company's existing or candidate products to become less competitive, adversely affecting sales. Competitors are increasingly challenging intellectual property positions and the outcomes can be highly uncertain. If challenges are resolved adversely, it could negatively impact the Company's ability to obtain licenses on competitive terms, commercialize new products and generate sales from existing products.

Intellectual property rights, including patents, plant variety protection, trade secrets, confidential information, trademarks, tradenames and other forms of trade dress, are important to the Company's business. The Company endeavors to protect its intellectual property rights in jurisdictions in which its products are produced or used and in jurisdictions into which its products are imported. However, the Company may be unable to obtain protection for its intellectual property in key jurisdictions. Further, changes in government policies and regulations, including changes made in reaction to pressure from non-governmental organizations, could impact the extent of intellectual property protection afforded by such jurisdictions.

The Company has designed and implemented internal controls to restrict access to and distribution of its intellectual property. Despite these precautions, the Company's intellectual property is vulnerable to unauthorized access through employee error or actions, theft and cybersecurity incidents, and other security breaches. When unauthorized access and use or counterfeit products are discovered, the Company reports such situations to governmental authorities for investigation, as appropriate, and takes measures to mitigate any potential impact. Protecting intellectual property related to biotechnology is particularly challenging because theft is difficult to detect and biotechnology can be self-replicating. Accordingly, the impact of such theft can be significant.


DowDuPont's Ability to Obtain and Maintain Regulatory Approval for Some of its Products in the Agriculture Segment Could Limit Sales or Affect Profitability in Certain Markets.
In most jurisdictions, the Company must test the safety, efficacy and environmental impact of its agricultural products to satisfy regulatory requirements and obtain the necessary approvals. In certain jurisdictions the Company must periodically renew its approvals which may require it to demonstrate compliance with then-current standards. The regulatory environment is lengthy, complex and in some markets unpredictable, with requirements that can vary by product, technology, industry and country. The regulatory environment may be impacted by the activities of non-governmental organizations and special interest groups and stakeholder reaction to actual or perceived impacts of new technology, products or processes on safety, health and the environment. Obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals requires submitting a significant amount of information and data, which may require participation from technology providers. Regulatory standards and trial procedures are continuously changing. The pace of change together with the lack of regulatory harmony could result in unintended noncompliance.

Responding to these changes and meeting existing and new requirements may involve significant costs or capital expenditures or require changes in business practice that could result in reduced profitability. The failure to receive necessary permits or approvals could have near- and long-term effects on the Company’s ability to produce and sell some current and future products.

Failure to Effectively Manage Acquisitions, Divestitures, Alliances and Other Portfolio Actions Could Adversely Impact DowDuPont's Future Results.
From time to time, the Company evaluates acquisition candidates that may strategically fit its business and/or growth objectives. If the Company is unable to successfully integrate and develop acquired businesses, the Company could fail to achieve anticipated synergies and cost savings, including any expected increases in revenues and operating results, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial results. The Company continually reviews its portfolio of assets for contributions to the Company’s objectives and alignment with its growth strategy. However, the Company may not be successful in separating underperforming or non-strategic assets and gains or losses on the divestiture of, or lost operating income from, such assets may affect the Company’s earnings. Moreover, the Company might incur asset impairment charges related to acquisitions or divestitures that reduce its earnings. In addition, if the execution or implementation of acquisitions, divestitures, alliances, joint ventures and other portfolio actions is not successful, it could adversely impact the Company’s financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
