Section 8 - Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On March 18, 2026, DuPont de Nemours, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “DuPont”), issued a press release announcing that it plans to seek approval for an amendment to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to effect, at the discretion of DuPont’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”), a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a ratio of not less than 1-for-2 or more than 1-for-4, with the exact ratio to be determined by the Board of Directors at a later date. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
DuPont’s Board of Directors has set March 30, 2026 as the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The time and other details regarding the Annual Meeting will be communicated to stockholders at a later date via preliminary proxy materials which will be filed with, and will be subject to review by, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Solicitation Material
This communication may be deemed to be solicitation material in connection with the proposal to be submitted to DuPont’s stockholders at its Annual Meeting seeking approval of an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split. In connection with the proposal, DuPont plans to file a preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A with the SEC. The Company expects to file its definitive proxy material in due course. Stockholders are encouraged to read the preliminary proxy statement and all other relevant documents filed with the SEC when they become available, including the definitive proxy statement, because they will contain important information about the proposal.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This communication contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “believe”, “seek”, “see”, “will”, “would”, “target”, “outlook”, “stabilization”, “confident”, “preliminary”, “initial” and similar expressions and variations or negatives of these words. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding outlook, expectations and guidance, including with respect to the timing, ratio, completion, and benefits of the reverse stock split. Forward-looking statements address matters that are, to varying degrees, uncertain and subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, many of which that are beyond DuPont’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Additional information concerning the risks, uncertainties and assumptions can be found in DuPont’s filings with the SEC, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other filings. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. DuPont assumes no obligation to publicly provide revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws.
